From the essay Information Wants to be Free, Second of the Three Common Informative Mistakes:

"The Jive-Talking Wizard: I saw this term on Beth Kinderman’s website, and I think it’s pretty appropriate. It refers to the all-powerful being who appears to get the characters together and set them on the right track, but won’t, for reasons only known to himself, impart enough information to do the job well. When asked for details or more helpful information, he typically simpers, changes the subject, vanishes, thunders “That’s not for you to know!” or otherwise says “Screw you” to the players. I’ve seen him as a god of humor, an actual wizard (Gandalf is almost a literary example of this tactic, but Gandalf also takes personal risks and gets down and dirty in battle, too, so he doesn’t really count), a computer, a Sidereal Exalt, and mentors and rulers of all kinds. The “Voice from On High” that I refer to in Holding it All Together can very easily become a Jive-Talking Wizard of sorts."

Note to self: read all of BlackHatMatt's essays as required prep for Exalted.

A month ago, I had no idea what herpetology was. Now, EVERYONE on my flist seems to be using it. WTF?

Also: Magemagemagemagemagemagemage.

Pete, Jason: check your e-mail, I need to know if you two are on for Friday. (Of course, this is still conditional on Simon being on for Friday, but even if he isn't I'd like an e-mail from you, Jay :P)

This is probably the closest to Melody that I can get.

Otherwise, if Caroline Dhavernas ever dyes her hair blonde, she'd be a really awesome Melody. It's the quirky grin, I think.

Easton, meanwhile, always has and will always look like Colin Farrell, although for some reason in my head he looks VERY different. I just can't describe HOW. (Actually, I think he doesn't have a face. But.)

Oh, tinymixtapes.com, how I love you...

how about some mix-tape love for all the people out there who live in the middle of nowhere? i live in a place where men are men, and goats are nervous about this.

Okay, so the herpetology thing has gotten out of hand.

For you, Amber and Michelle (even though it's really for me) :D
