*adjusts his glasses as he shakes his head* No, but then I don't watch much tv. Usually holed up in my office for the most part.

Mostly they stand for a big pain in the neck. Always hovering...wanting to know if we're doing things "right".

[alan_shore]

You're...an academic of some sort, I take it?

You're half right, at any rate. I am widely regarded as a big pain in the neck.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Ph.D.'s in linguistics, archeology, translation - mostly dead languages such as ancient egyptian and hieroglyphs. Also includes being shot at and getting into trouble.

*smirks* You actually realize you're a pain in the neck? Most people that are don't know it.

[alan_shore]

That's quite the impressive CV. Can you write in cuneiform?

*mirrors the smirk* It's rather a point of pride for me.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Sure. *runs off a line of cuneiform on a chalkboard nearby* One of my instructors used this line quite a bit. It means "pay attention or die".

Must be a lawyer thing...*achoo!* Sorry, allergies...*blows his nose on a red and white handkerchief*

[alan_shore]

*snorts; he's impressed, although the casual observer might mistake it for amusement* Would you look at that. Do you ever use it to scribble notes to your colleagues?

Bless you.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

I doubt they would appreciate that. Most of my colleagues are military. Carter's more the scientist but I doubt I would have anything to write in a note that couldn't be emailed. *looks down at his own jumbled mess of notes* Although it does come in handy if you don't want someone reading your notes. Sometimes I forget what language I'm writing in if I'm distracted enough.

Thank you.

So how did you become a lawyer?

[alan_shore]

What language do you think in?

Oh, the usual method: I attended law school, graduated, passed the bar. And now here I am, more or less.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*pauses*...Y'know, I've never thought about it. I guess that also varies, depending on how distracted I am.

Oh no, what I meant was, did you always want to be a lawyer? Or was it something you happened to get into? Or what?

[alan_shore]

I had a friend who claimed her thoughts were more elegant in French and less inhibited in Italian. I don't know if there's any truth to that, mind you, but it certainly sounded good.

What child wants to grow up to be a lawyer? No, I'd an inkling I'd be good at it and my parents disapproved, which was always an encouraging sign.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* I wouldn't know, my own thoughts are usually just a mix and would only make sense to me. I think I was up to 26 languages at last count...

That's true. Do your parents still disappove since you became one?

[alan_shore]

*laughs* You've lost track. That's...humbling.

They're both dead now, although knowing my father he hasn't permitted something as trifling as his departure from this earthly plane to interfere with the scorn he harbors for my chosen profession.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*waves it off as no big deal* They say the first two are the hardest. Probably because you can get them mixed up the easiest.

Foster parents for me...not sure how they feel about my profession, I haven't seen them in awhile. and the mun can't remember if they are dead too or not My family tends more towards my coworkers now really.

[alan_shore]

Yeah? I doubt I could name twenty-six languages.

I suppose we're alike in that respect.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*smile* Care to learn a word of a language very few people know?
Kree is a good word to know from Goa'uld language. Means alot of things, but loosely translated it means "attention", "listen up", "concentrate" ...or if you like, "Yoo-hoo".

[alan_shore]

And once I've attracted their attention, what am I supposed to say?

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*hadn't thought of that* Oh um...I suppose you could follow it with "kel sha" if you wanted to say hello or greetings...or "tal'mac Alan Shore"...
I usually have to follow it with "kree'ta" myself...to get someone to quit messing with something they're not supposed to.

[alan_shore]

Like what, your equipment?

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Er...sometimes. I really couldn't elaborate more...some of the stuff I'm involved in is classified.

[alan_shore]

Oh, come on. I'm in the Coast Guard. Tell me, would the government entrust the safety of its navigable waters to someone whose loyalty was in doubt?

*facepalm* that icon is making the mun giggle

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*eyebrow raise*

...well you are a lawyer. Your loyalty is to your client, whoever they may be at the time.

ahahaha, have you seen the *Batman* one?

[alan_shore]

...

Fine. Suit yourself.

Icon or episode, though the answer is no to both...I've not seen any Boston Legal

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

...for that matter, how does a lawyer end up in the Coast Guard? That seems like an odd mix.

[alan_shore]

Gosh, I'd love to tell you, but I'm afraid that information is classified.

ooc: Here you are! And there are plenty more ridiculous costumes where that came from.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*rueful smile* Yeah, guess I deserved that. Never mind then.


ooc: ahhhh! ok that's just...yikes. *covers Daniel's eyes*
