Funnyness ensues!!!!
Tuesday, 06 December 2005 02:59:07

okay, it's funny to me... I dont know about you, but I thought I might as well post this anyway for anyone who has never heard of this site... soooo... one of my favorite website, Jerry the Frog Productions, were they make fun of all your favorite movies (or mine in any case) in ways that are (usually) not at all insulting to the fans. Well finally after so long waiting they have posted a Serenity puppet show parody. If any one want's to see it is at

On Bringing Back The Show
Tuesday, 06 December 2005 04:00:10

It's late. My laundry is overflowing. There's about a layer two inches high of who knows what on my bedroom floor. And although I'm moving out of my house this weekend and I desperately need to pack, do my homework, clean, and bake a cake for my best friend's birthday, I have still managed to sit down and type a second blog on this site. Why? Because Firefly is darn worth it, duh! This show has really inspired me to be myself. To overcome all obstacles and let the true Courtney inside shine. I know a lot of people who love Firefly just as much as I do. And let me tell you, sitting around and chatting about it is going to get absolutely nothing done. We should be mailing Fox two letters each a week. E-mailing Joss Whedon on how great the show is. Raising money in order to start it back up again. We have to get up out of our leather chairs and out from behind our computer screens. We need to make conventions and get all of our friends who are Firefly ignorant into the show. When Serenity comes out in fifteen days, we need to all buy a copy and show that it's the greatest movie (because you and I both know that's true). So, Ladies and Gentlemen, do what you can. Give Serenity her wings back. Get the show back on air.

On Joss Whedon
Tuesday, 06 December 2005 04:11:20

I never got into Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Angel didn't fit my needs. In fact, I never even knew who Joss Whedon was until about four months ago. And then Dad sat down and we watched Serenity- the very first episode of [i]Firefly[/i]. And, my friends, I fell in love that day. And as I watched each show (cherishing every single one) I slowly slipped into an even deeper love. Some may call it "obsession". I call it "life". Firefly was everything a show should be. Action-packed, humorous, great special effects, a fantabulous script, and even a little romance on the side. It even (don't ask me how) incorporated my religion (I'm protestant)!! Never before had I been into Science Fiction. The idea of SciFi and Western in one scared me. What dope would create a show about space cowboys? Well, that dope was Joss Whedon. And he wasn't a dope at all. He was a genius. ------------------------------------- As I write this, my eyes drift up to the top of the screen, where a quote from our man of the hour sits. "I'm not an adult!" it says. "I don't want to create responsible shows with lawyers in them. I want to invade people's dreams." And lord, Mr. Whedon has done just what he wanted to do. Firefly has given me what I want to do when I grow up- write fantastic stories and make TV shows out of them! So, next time anyone says Joss is just some nerd without a life I'm going to pull s Jayne. One more death on my conscience won't hurt anything. I'm not afraid to go back to jail.:biggrin:

Squees!!!! I have the Best Not-Boyfriend Ever
Tuesday, 06 December 2005 06:45:30

So, for anyone whose ever read my fic y'all should know I have a pretty dark take on relationships. But I've been seeing this guy for about three months, ergo the not boyfriend designation, and right now love him so much words cannot express. Let me explain. One of our first dates was to go see Serenity. It was my nineth time, but the first for him. He hated it and actually hates Firefly. There's no accounting for taste. He even tried to distract me by making untoward advances in the theatre. (I'm a long time fan...fanatik.) Still he went to some kind of convention on Sunday and after enduring dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, he was able to corner Nathan in the parking lot and get his autograph for me. All hail my not-boyfriend, the most wonderful sole (lacking good taste [except for me] )in the 'verse. Phaedra (a bad luck name)

My recent abscense
Tuesday, 06 December 2005 14:29:32

Just thought I'd drop by real quckly to let everyone know where I'm at and why I'm not answereing their PM's. I was in a car accident on Friday with a semi. I'm very lucky to be alive. My glasses were completely destroyed in the wreck, so I really can't see right now...forgive any typos ;). Friday is the earliest I'll have glasses again. I'm going to have a lot of hidey threads to catch up on :p. alright, time for me to run (err, maybe wtumble with the way I'm seeing), i'll talk to everyone later ;)

Keep Fox from doing it again...

Hey all! Still bitter about Fox cancelling Firefly?

Hope is a dangerous thing!
Tuesday, 06 December 2005 22:22:28

Is it possible to hope too much? For something to happen or for something not to happen. Hoping is something I seem to be doing an awful lot of at the moment. Hoping for a Serenity Cubed convention, a sequel to the BDM, a new blog from Jewel, a new job. It worries me slightly that there may be a point where I have to accept that hoping is not enough. There might come a time when I suddenly realise that I’ve missed my chance of making my hopes and dreams become reality by being pro active. It worries me more that I might not realise when hoping is enough. That one day I look around and think, I should have had faith that everything would be ok. Sometimes I just have to sit back and let things be out of my hands. I hate being out of control. Maybe I need to address that! It is a contented person who is totally happy with what they have been given in life. Then again I believe that one of the greatest human strengths is the aspiration we have to be better, go farther, help more. The key to all of this is knowing when enough is enough. When there is nothing more to be done. My problem is that I have a great many aspirations to do all kinds of things. What I lack is the courage, the conviction and the strength to risk failure in the hopes of doing something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. It’s been a tough year for me, but I wouldn’t change any of it. For I think it is during the hardest time that we discover, not who we are, but who we can be when the chips are down. And people surprise you in many unexpected ways. The people who we believe would be the worst ones to have around during a crisis can often turn out to be the greatest. It’s a tough thing to be let down by a friend who you thought was the strongest person you knew, and to pick yourself back up and start again, but sometimes it must be done. I do apologise to anyone who has stumbled in here by accident. These thoughts made a lot more sense in my head. It might be all the random I’ve been subjected to recently. Either that or it’s because I’ve had an introspective sort of day. Suffice it to say that I still love Firefly as much as I ever did. If nothing else I can be grateful for the fact that Firefly has brought me a great many happy things. Among them, A wholly crazy bunch of Randomites, you’re never too old to make fantastic new friends. A movie I adore to accompany the series I love so dearly. The chance to meet some Big Damn Heroes. Many hours of laughter. And last but not least, hope for the future. See, we’re back to that pesky hope again. Much Love Alison x-x-x-x
