New Castle?!?

I live right over the line, in Elkton. Literally, right over the line. The Welcome to MD sign is about 50 ft from my door!

East of Pittsburgh, about 3 hours from Harrisburg, kinda smack in the middle.

I am off Christiana road by the airport.

Howdy, neighbor.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

My brother used to live in Scotch Hills Apts, right near there. Between 273 and 40, over there. I graduated from UD, been in the area for 6 years now. You guys coming to the East Coast Shindig?

"Gordon Comstock", is, in fact, merely a screen name (bonus points to anyone who can name the source). I'm other wise called Mat, or "Hey! Do you work here?"

Shiny! Wordsmiths (the rest is just details and detours). Retail's as good a place as any for gathering character studies (said the Bloomingdale's veteran...and, of course, my current line is as good a source of composite [confidentiality, y'know!] characters as ever there was!).


There really is no better time to observe a person than when he or she is hunting for something he needs or, better yet, wants. Well, maybe during psychoanalysis. Sadly, though, that requires various advanced degrees -- and that requires being able to attend college for more than a month before being too frustrated with the people, the atmosphere, and the time-consuming nature of academic life that one just can't attend any more. So, here I am. Anyone need to buy a map?

Is your writing genre-like stuff?


Some yes, some no. One of my greatest fears is becoming successful and quickly being pigeonholed, and then never being able to do anything different so long as I live.

Are you as humbled as I by the seemingly effortless and spontaneous dialogue in our beloved FF? ('case you couldn't tell, I dabble a bit my-own-self [feel free to check out www.futureshocks.com for my freshman short novel, "Night Music." Giggles optional]).


A-ha! That brings this thread niftily back on topic. (My computer is telling me "niftily" isn't a word. Harrumph.) This is a Firefly forum, after all, not a "Mat's life" forum (there's not one, by the way). Yes, I am extremely humbled by Joss and company's dialog -- and really everything else they do, too. But far more discouraging to me is how The Powers That Be -- and, in fact, the public at large -- completely failed to comprehend their brilliance. It kind of makes one wonder if it's worth it.

Now there's a cheery end to a post . . .

Hey folks, I've actually been looking to join or start up a Philadelphia Browncoats group since there doesn't seem to be one. At the very least, get to know some of the local yolkels :) Myself, I'm a grad student in the ways of molecular biology. Earning the degree in a matter of months now. Might be staying around here, which explains this little post :)

So at the very least, what do people think about a local Shindig?

I'm right outside of Philly.

You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport, yet by far the most troublesome.
