I know this poem is meant for a far greater loss than ours, but I still find it fitting.
A Dirge, by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Rough wind, that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;
Sad storm, whose tears are vain, Bare woods, whose branches strain, Deep caves and dreary main, --
Wail, for the world's wrong!
▲MY PROFILE
▲ MY STATS
Name:
Classified
Home town:
A snow drift in Minnesota
Occupation:
Metal-Loving Divan Tuber
Favorite TSCC character:
Cameron (but John and Sarah are great as well)
Why you love TSCC:
I find artificial intelligence and machine learning quite interesting. Also, I appreciate the way war is portrayed; specifically, how you can begin to resemble your enemy in the process of defeating him (the machines must mimic human behavior for effective infiltration and extermination, while the humans must become cold and indifferent to suffering in order to survive).
Favorite Terminator movie:
The first, in spite of the somewhat dated 80's feel; it blended sci-fi with horror to great effect.
Motto:
"I call 9mm."
I joined this wiki because:

The Perils of Loving a Cyborg Programmed to Kill You: A story in Captions
When John saw the look in her eyes, he knew he had forgotten their anniversary for the last time...
"Honey, please, you have to believe me! It was an accident! I'm sorry I forgot to Tivo Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show! I swear, I'll make it up to you..."
John decided now would not be the best time to tell Cameron he had lost the family savings in an underground Guitar Hero competition...
"Honey, you've had that murdery look all day; is there something you'd like to talk about?"
Here's a few more of my favorite scenes as well, with appropriate captions:
John suspected that something had gone terribly awry at Cameron's first Halloween pumpkin carving contest...
"OMG, Chola, I'm loving those hoops! And you're really working that disaffected urban chic look, too..."
Cameron after a visit to the Clinique counter at the local mall.
John made the mistake of watching an episode of CHiPs with Cameron the night before...
Although it has little value in combat, Skynet insisted that all Terminator models be specially trained in the ancient art of shadow-puppetry.

This one doesn't need a caption, does it? A winking Terminator is humorous enough on its own.
"Honey, I swear I don't know how these Scrabble tiles got stuck in my shirt pocket... why would I even want an x and a z? I think you need to calm down a bit, it's just a game..."
"You mean we're not going to the Jonas Brothers' concert tonight?! John, you've been promising we'd go for weeks! How could you do this to me?!"
It was at this very moment that Cameron devised a new ballet move most suitable for a Terminator: Le Pirouette pour la Manoeuvre de Plasma Bolt.
LAPD's finest at work. And I do mean finest.
"Now I lay me down to sleep, and pray the Lord my soul to... wait, scratch that... my chip to keep... John, help me out, here."
"Always remember, John: lefty-loosey, righty-tighty... the first rule of Terminator chip extraction."
See caption below for explanation.
I've run out of pithy commentary... so, uh, here's one where Cameron's hair is kind of messy.

THINGS I LIKE:
Possible captions for the Sims3 incarnation of Lily (my microfic character from Guardian Angels of Alison Young):
*Evil has a new face. And it uses Revlon.*
*If you're close enough to see her highlights, it's too late.*
*This devil doesn't wear Prada... usually YSL or Gucci.*
Strangely enough, the plasma weaponry in Sims3 bears a striking resemblance to ceiling lamps...
Even Liquid Metal needs a pick-me-up in the morning.
Though she dresses the part, Lily never was the life of the party.
Death takes a catnap.
"You haven't touched your pancakes. You seem preoccupied. Do you find something distracting?"
