What? What's that supposed to mean? What about Jon Snow? I like Jon. Dammit.
Also I managed to spoil something really big before starting the book so I know
Ned is going to die. Which is shit and I wish I didn't know it but that's what you get for clicking spoilers before deciding to read the book. But I have no idea when or how it happens. So it could be in like book 4, or it could be the NEXT CHAPTER!!! So every time Ned shows up in the story I'm like Nooooooooo!... It's making me very tense.
Haha please keep posting but don't click any more spoilers.
The last ~25% of this book was fuckin' nuts. Tyrion gets condemned to death, escapes, kills Shae (I'm pretty sure?), then kills his fuckin' dad too? I was so happy!
Then the next chapter Jon gets Ghost back AND gets named Lord Commander? I was even more happy!
Then Littlefinger tosses that stupid cunt Lady Lysa out a window? How could this get any better?!
Then all my happiness is instantly dashed because we find out Catelyn is alive again :? Man, at least she can't speak anymore and with any luck she won't have any chapters in the next book.
And speaking of the next book I am downloading it now.
I have a couple of predictions about what may or may not be revealed, I guess I'll post one:
The biggest thing I keep thinking about is Varys. I am betting he is a warg/skinchanger/whatever its called when people can inhabit the bodies of animals. I need to go back and find the chapter where he tells Tyrion about the ceremony where he was cut, but I remember there being a raven above him when it happened (maybe?). I think Varys is being pretty literal when he says "birdies" tell him things.
But then I could be 100% wrong very easily. I am going to be extremely frustrated after finishing Feast For Crows, that I am sure about.
Uh dude, it's been explained what Varys' "birdies" are and there's nothing magical about them. He buys young slave children, teaches them how to read and write and then cuts out their tongues so they can't talk. That's what he uses as spies.

Varys' 'little birds' are actually children who can read and write, but have their tongues cut out. They spy on people through the walls of the Red Keep, just as Tyrion could overhead the guards talking when he was entering the tower of the Hand.
There's a conversation that Arya overhears in A Game of Thrones where Varys and Magister Illyrio are walking in the secret tunnels underneath the castle and talk about procuring more 'little birds'.
My wife is on a psych master's program. She's currently on a class about testing, or psych testing, or personality testing or something.
Anyway, she asked me to take a personality test, but not as myself. At her suggestion, I answered the True/False questions as one of the characters "from those books you like" -- I chose Tyrion.
Here are some of the questions that made me laugh:
I have very few quarrels with members of my family.
I am afraid when I look down from a high place.
There is very little love and companionship in my family as compared to other homes.
Some of my family have habits that bother and annoy me very much.
I never worry about my looks.
I believe I am a condemned person.
I have never been in trouble with the law.
My mother or father often made be obey even when I thought that it was unreasonable.
The members of my family and my close relatives get along quite well.

Wait, what? I don't remember this.
Does Lady Stoneheart ring a bell?
She's not the quite same person. Death...changed her.
End on
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us
I'm wondering if the audiobook I was listening to wasn't missing a chapter or two. There are a couple of points in A Storm of Swords that stood out as possibly missing to me:
I didn't read a chapter where Sam met Bran, or got under the wall. And I didn't read any account of Jon's escape from the wildlings. Both of those were referred back to, so I know they were missing, or else it's just an odd storytelling technique.
It's entirely possible that I missed other things, too. Such as the above spoiler.

-Sam met Coldhands above the Wall and he was escorted to a secret underground magic gate thing that came out in some castle's basement south of the Wall, and Bran just happened to be in that castle. Bran went back through under the wall and went north with Coldhands.
-Jon ran away from the Wildlings once they were south of the Wall. He got an arrow in his leg for his trouble. Not much else to say about that.
-The Brotherhood Without Banners (a.k.a. Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr and their gang) kidnapped some Frey, and the Twins sent another expendable not-even-Ser Frey to deliver the ransom. The guy finds his cousin (or whoever it was) hanged, and the Brotherhood sneaks up on him. They get the ransom AND hang him and as he's hanging there Catelyn is totally right there only now she's all creepy and undead. That's actually the big cliffhanger right at the end of Storm.
To be fair, it was pretty subtle. You find out in a game of thrones, when Arya overhears him talking with Illyrio (i think) when she is trying to find her way out after seeing the dragon skulls. If you didn't work out who was talking you would have missed it.

we don't hear what really happens to ned until book 5
Haha please keep posting but don't click any more spoilers.
OK I'm going to choose to believe this is true. It will be better for my blood pressure.
That's just a joke how the phrase "You know nothing, Jon Snow" gets used a lot
was not something I was expecting at all!
I loved the scene with
besides we all know that Ned
also Jon Snow is the kid from the sixth sense
it still seems like a gaping plot hole what with
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Just finished Storm of Swords
Then the next chapter Jon gets Ghost back AND gets named Lord Commander? I was even more happy!

The Pie That Was Promised is some solid gold
that's gold
Wait, what? I don't remember this.
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

It was for your own good. Or we're evil. Hard to say.
It was a sharp lesson.
Just so.
