Hello everyone! I'm Mrs. Data Soong, but everyone in the real world call me Jamison. I only wish I was married to that fantastic man. But alas i am not. My husband is wonderful though, even if he doesn't understand my love for all things Star Trek. I mean when i meet new people and they ask what i do for a living i answer with "I am here on behalf of the United Federation of Planets to see how Earth is coming with their warp technology." Most people just stare at me like i'm crazy, ask if i know Spock, a very few give me a high five and tell me that i just violated the Prime Directive"

Ode to Spot

Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
