oo.. candles. We should all create big firefly shrines with lots of shiny candles. But i shouldn't be allowed near them, since i'm well known for catching my hair on fire.

Either that or we could just use the candles to erm... avenge our show by lighting Fox on fire? (hey.. i did rip up a fox add in a local paper. My friends wanted to kill me for being obsessive, but it made me feel better. Maybe next time i'll burn the adds and catch my hair on fire.)

And thinking Browncoat thoughts.

Me too, only not with the lighting candles thing. What is it with women and the candles anyway?

Your poor testosterone-warped heart would never understand.

Actually, I don't physically light candles. It's a metaphoric reference to the religious (Catholic) lighting of candles for prayer.

I have a couple candles around the house, mostly just for looks. Haven't burnt them in earnest since college and that was just to cover up the smell of the... you know.

Meanwhile, last names and love affairs!

Ah, but you didn't inhale, right?

Alright I'll confide something with you, (and everyone else reading this post). I am absolutely in love with Jewel Staite and Kaylee too. Got my own fantasy goin'. Everyone's got one.

In my fantasy, I can't get past the part where we run toward each other like a movie from the 70s and embrace, practically weeping with joy.

How big a goober am I, that my movie star fantasies stop at hugging. Well, there'll probably be compliments too.

Sarah,
You're not a goober. Well maybe you are, but it doesn’t sound like a bad thing to be. Goobers are chocolate covered peanuts right? Yummy. Anyway, your fantasy is your fantasy. I've got a few that end with hugs... and other stuff. There's an interesting thread. What's your firefly fantasy?

I am a goober. I'm a big geek.

Maybe I'm just lame. Maybe I'm insecure and egomaniacal and....

Yow. Somebody was talking about pie. Let's have that and hugging and compliments!

Kaythryn, what's your fantasy?

Let me try:

"Excuse me, Doc?" Kaythryn hung on the door to the infirmary, looking paler than normal.

"Yes?" Doctor Tam turned, stylus still in hand from where he had been making notes.

"It's nothing, really," Kaythryn tried to step over the threshhold but began to sway. In a flash, Simon was next to her, supporting her. "It's just, it's this stupid knee is all. Turned it the other day and it's only getting worse."

"Let me see," he said, leading her to the examination table. In one practiced motion he swept up her pants leg, revealing a harshly bruised knee.

"I've seen worse," he grinned up at her, dark eyes flashing.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes." He touched her shin and electricity sizzled up and down her leg. He grinned, his lips slightly lopsided, looking boyish.

...

Okay... really got to stop. Really getting out of hand.

Now I have to confess my fantasy??? Now there's a fantasy confessional thread?? No one ever told me I'd have to confess ....

Argh!!!

Incidentally, I subscribe to the Washington theory. I realize it's boring, but I'm kind of the boring type, and while I like the idea of a nickname, I woulda thunk his wife would call him by his actual name.

As for Jerry Lee? If he had said it, I just assumed Jerry Lee was a reference to some hotshot famous pilot, and Mal was congratulating him--y'know, like if you were ... I dunno, like, if you were a hockey player, and your captain referred to you as Gretzky, even though your name was really Ben.

Um, I'm getting those looks, kinda like I'm speaking in Riverspeak. I'll go 'way now and be quiet. Maybe I'll hunt rabbits. Or light a candle .

Oh, cool, we can create fantasies for others? Neat! I like that!!

And Sarah, the geeks rule the earth. Nothing wrong with being a geek, nothing at all! Best people I know. :-)

Sarah,
Oh...
*Fans herself with a nearby book*
Yup, you've made me blush and go weak in the knees. In other words- yeah, that was my fantasy. Can’t...write...to preoccupied... with...Dr. Tam’s... dark eyes and... boyish smile. I’ll be in my bunk.

-Hey, and if geeks write the kind of stories I know you Sarah, and you Philomel to write, well then more power to you!

That's just means you're not as perverted as others, myself included w/ those pervs. I fantasize about being a big damn hero and Kaylee fawns over me. And maybe Summer Glau too, not in River Character though, always been partial to dancers. See if I keep goin' the whole female cast will be in my fantasy, told you I was a perv.
