I showed a friend of mine a bit of writing and got perhaps the most rewarding response ever. She hasn't even seen any Firefly eps, and knew EXACTLY what to say!

"Ooh, shiny!"
"Ain't it just?"

Found myself swearing the other day... "Gorram it, this piece of Alliance lala ain't workin!" and when my evil computer gave me hands of blue, I said to myself "It never goes smooth! How come it never goes smooth?"

Ahh... and when I did not get the point in math class, twas I who said "She understands- she does not comprehend."

My brother hit something, and I said, "You don't have to hit them, you know." He said, in Jayne-like tones, "I like smacking 'em!"

...the list goes on and on and on and on...

"Serenity; Ship, Valley, State of Mind."

Channain, you're my big damn hero.



:sheepish: shucks...i better get me a thrillin' heroics hat when i get my browncoat then, huh? not gonna be jumpin' on no trains though, i can tell you that much. one thing about an active imagination, i spend too much time visualizing what could happen. which is to say, me getting smished.

actually your response was something like, "sure, why not? don't know why everyone's making a big hairy deal out of it."

that would be in context, but not an exact quote

bought the Oxford chinese language dictionary today. that one comes complete with pronounciation for each word yee haw!

When people look at me wierd because I will use every 4 letter word you can think of but now say gorramn instead of goddamn.
i.e.
"gorram son of a b.... Fox executives"

especially if you're muttering about the Fox executives out of context with whatever conversation you're part of. folks do start to worry after a bit.

i now have a shiny suede trench coat, y'all!! and i'd highly advise you to find the nearest Wilson's leather store. their spring sale is something to behold--my trench, normally priced at $199 was a mere $49.99. i kid you not.

dumb stories? no no no--the stories are brilliant. the folks you base your characters on--clinging to firefly fandom and hoping against all hope? Totally different story, my friend.

Let's see when I think about Firefly.... Every few minutes; especially since I'm trying to write a fic.

DOBSON: I'm supposed to be meeting my wife's sister. I've only got a few days to see her...

ZOE: I wish there was another way...

DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...
