Miriam Lass and the Wendigo

Miriam Lass (What is your greatest ambition?): Since learning that happiness is not and cannot be a permanent state of being, I just want to reach a place where the good days outnumber the bad.

The Wendigo (What is your favorite mythical creature?): Dragons!

Miriam Lass

What is your biggest ambition?

Oddly difficult question. I've reached a point in my life where I focus more on being happy in the moment than on any big dreams or goals. 

I'd love to take my horse on a backcountry riding trip in Yellowstone.

I'd love to go SCUBA diving in the Galapagos. 

I'd love to be the go-to expert for some specific interesting technology.

Bribing my roommate over tumblr is the most effective and adult form of communication ever!

poisonsoup replied to your post “Hi I'm a Hannibal fan myself Will is my favorite but like you I also love Jack at times his bit of roughness on Will does brother me but i see his point-I do think at the end of the angel episode he came off like he was guilt trapping him but other then that I don't see manipulation.”

He literally does the bit with his wife, before he even knows his wife is sick. "I already have to deal with my wife not talking to me, I don't have to deal with you not talking to me." Even though Will was told at the beginning he didnt have to talk

I had a feeling someone would mention this, but I left it out because it has nothing to do with the discussion they have. It doesn't pertain to Will's decision to stay on at the FBI.

Yeah, Jack complains about his wife before he really understands what Will is trying to say, since Will is talking around the issue by talking about how Buddish had "surrendered." He's human. If you want to call that manipulative or a guilt trip, then sure--but scale it to where it belongs. He manipulated Will into talking to him. However, I don't think this is a good example of that. Will started the conversation and stuck with it. If he didn't want to talk, he wouldn't have talked.

Moreover, Jack did not manipulate Will into staying on as a special investigator through this statement or any other. As soon as Will engages with him on a level that he understands, Jack treats him forthrightly. Jack knows his wife has cancer at this point, and he doesn't bring it up. 

And Jack offered the option not to talk at the beginning at the very first crime scene they were together on, and it related specifically to Will reconstructing crime scenes, which he's not even doing here. Jack didn't know Will at all then and was trying to figure him out. Will never once took him up on it, even at crime scenes--he's never minded talking before, and he doesn't mind it now. He initiated the conversation and pursued it even when Jack was irritable.

Someone who wants a bunch of free movies I guess. That sucks.

But that doesn't even make sense because the library card itself IS FREE. The whole thing was taken care of but I'm still really annoyed and angry.
