Hmm..a song about Simon.
I'll think about it. And I'll check out that song, Safe. I'm not familiar with it.
What I need to do is get out my guitar and start playing around until inspiration hits. That usually works. But I don't have time to do that today.

I had inspiration at the post office. (Your hat is in the mail Flechie!!!!!!)
I think I'm going to do a song directed at Kaylee about Simon. I think she gives him too hard a time and she pushes him too much. I feel bad for him. She likes him because he's different from all the Rim boys she used to date, but then she tries to get him to fit into that mould. It bothers me, is all. Anyway, that's my idea.
Will try to work on it whenever I come up for air. When's the deadline again? Must go back and check.

Jack gets up from his bunk, stretches and chases his dragon around his room.
He walks the ship, noting with some residual satisfaction that Bubbles and Evil Jack are still piles of rubble.
He goes into the janitorial closet and pulls out a Shop-Vac. He whistles a happy little tune as he sucks up all the pieces of the ill-fated robots. He waves to Needy as he passes by, Serenity and Safe too as they watch him.
He scratches Puffy underneath the chin and puts up the Shop-Vac after tossing the contents into deep space. He waves to Jayne and Flechette as they fix dinner for the crew, Soul and TRM as they pass him in the corridor.
Jack goes to the infirmary, calm and content. No evil robots. No explosions. He studies his medical literature while eating an apple that Flechette had tossed him in the mess.
All is well.

Whoa....whappened?
Jack, you got mood swings. One moment you're a killin' machine, the next, you're happy homemaker.
Oh well, a little "quiet" time won't hurt. Can't say as I'll miss robots trying to kill me around every corner...
*Safe scoops up the BFG and heads to the engine room muttering* If I shave a bit off the trigger and modify the barrel...

I think I've had enough of Reaver stories.
I had a dream last night that Reavers ate Wash and then Nick from CSI hit on Zoe.
It was very strange. Harmony from Angel and Joshua the male companion were in it, too.
I think I watch too much tv.

As Jack is minding his own business, taking care of the ship, a strange noise sounds behind him. It sounds like a human breathing heavily, but doesn't sound all too friendly, reminiscent of monsters/creatures in those bad "horror" movies. Suddenly, an inhuman screech is let out and before Jack can react, a hand grabs hold of his shoulder and with one swift motion spins him around
There stands Needy with a huge grin on his face
"sorry, I couldn't help myself"
Before any more words are spoken, Jack smacks Needy square in the jaw, knocking the Boy Whore out cold
"and I couldn't help myself."
Jack sighs and shakes his head
"just one minute of normalcy... that's all I want"

Hello all.
I've been trying to come here and post for the past 2 or 3 days but haven't had the chance. The main reason is because my sister is taking her drivers theory test tomorrow and has been preparing using a program on the pc jsut about every night. Good for her, but I still wanna come here and by the time I've checked my mails and the latest news on the web and all that, I dont have much time left. Oh well, I'm here now
I gotta say, I loved the final confrontation with the robots, that was hilarious - especially Jack's "Stupid Whore" comment... and the whole crewmembers entanglement
I haven't got round to doing the Reaver Attack story yet, though hopefully I'll do it tomorrow.
As for the song, well for a start I thought it had to be about Wash (obviosuly didn't read it that well) and so I was racking my brain for a tune and some lyrics, but it kept on turning into The Hero of Canton. Now if only Wash's first name was Wayne, I might have been able to use it anyhow.
So can it just be about anything to do with the characters? Cos the instructions imply that it be a song like Hero of Canton, focussing on their life prior to Serenity. If it was about events during/post the series, then I might be able to handle it, but as it stands I'm kinda blank (no change there then)
Oh and whilst we're talking about songs - Safe, I know Riders on the Storm, but wasn't it originally sang by someone else? Maybe not, I just thought it was. I've got that song on one of Creed's singles

The Doors, I believe.

Needy, it was originally done by the Doors (thanks Greek). They did another song called People Are Strange (you might remember it from the movie Lost Boys) which would make for a good Reavers song. That is if the Reavers sing...
Have you read the other Reaver stories yet? If you read Rel's http://www.fireflyfan.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4926, Jack's http://www.fireflyfan.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4930 and my http://www.fireflyfan.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4925! in that order...it's like they are all recounts of the same event from different perspectives.
I'd like to read any other crew members entries, so please post a link here when you're done.
The one liners and situations floating 'round these parts lately have been pretty damn funny.

Ah yes, Greek and Safe, it was the Doors
I love their song "Break on Through to the other Side", though I always think of the show Dark Skies when I hear it because one of the episode's featured Jim Morrison as a guest character (ah memories)
I didn't realise People are Strange was there's . I like that song too - I've got the Lost Boys soundtrack where Echo and the Bunnymen sing it - one of the best songs on the cd btw
Maybe when the movie is released on dvd, someone could make a music video based around the reavers with that as the theme song
I'll read those Reaver reports and hopefully they'll inspire me... though not too much (wouldnt want to be accused of stealing ideas)
