Jayne: gets mad at me when i touch his guns because he know that i am "crazy" he put it other than that i scare him.
Simon: he treats me like river but less "oh i love you sister" he makes me calm down and he says it will be alright but it never is.
Kaylee: she is verry nice and always protects me and river like we were her sisters.
River: well we went to school together well not really school. it was torchure really the needles and they would make us sleep and they would make us see and hear things and remember things that werent real and cut into us... though we are geting better now we hmhm have a theory that kaylee and simon are going to get married. (we like to scare mal and jayne)

at the Universal board they had a challenge to write a resume to get yourself on board Serenity,
here is mine (I put it on my lj):
http://www.livejournal.com/users/embers_log/2005/05/23/
but I hadn't thought about how I would get along with everyone once I got on board...that is an interesting thought:
I'm usually shy around new people and keep to myself, getting to know them slowly. So I don't think I would have much trouble fitting in...
Mal: I'd probably give him his space except when he is in a quiet contemplative mood...
Zoe: I think we'd be good friends because I love her dry sense of humor
Wash: I'd get along great w/Wash, I always appreciate his silliness and his piloting skills
Kaylee: is a sweetheart, no way anyone would have trouble getting along with her
Simon: he is very remote, I'm not sure we would ever be very good friends
River: actually I find her fascinating, I could spend some time drawing with her...I'll bet I could win her trust
Inara: she is the one I'm the least interested in, and I doubt I would ever spend much time with her...unless she reads some of the same books I do.
Jayne: I think I could be friends w/Jayne; I could encourage him to tell me about his family and I wouldn't mind when he says something really stupid.
Book: actually I think I would be really good friends w/Book; I think we would discuss philosophy...he seems to have a subtle and open mind. He has seen a lot of the 'verse and has thought deeply on many subjects. I would enjoy spending time with him.

I don't know about any of you but I think that I would be scared $***less!. Just think of the real-life implications of what that would mean-joining the crew. You would be getting shot at alot. Meaning, there is a good chance that you would die very quickly. There's reavers out there that you have to deal with. There's the whole idea of living on a ship that doesn't have weapons equipped. You'd be living with a girl that could read your thoughts and if your a guy(which i am) you might be thinking unclean things about her( hey, i'm sure that i'm not the only one that would), and she might just slash you right across the chest for it.
*EDIT* And was I the only one that thought River was sexy when she had that whole accenty thing going on on The Train Job?
I guess the experience would be like going to war. You would just have to live like that day was your last. It's nice to watch on the tv screen but I might have some aprehension about joining a ship like that. I love the people on it, don't get me wrong and they would seem like a really good group of friends but, most people in the real world haven't even touched a gun let alone be in a gun fight.
I can just imagine myself in a same type of scenario like the gun fight on Heart of Gold. We would all be waiting for the bad guys to show up and them we would start duking it out and then I would just chicken out. I would just run and hide like a little girl.(No offense to little girls) I hate to admit that, but it's probably true. Mal would tell me to get my ass up and start firing and I would just be like, "screw this man, i'm outta hear." I would like to think of myself as a person that could handle himself in a fight, but when i have a piece of lead hurtling toward me at hundreds of miles an hour, I might start reconsidering how and why i'm hear with these people.
Loyalty to the end is all nice in theory and I think of myself as painfully loyal to my friends but, when it's applied to real life or that of the Firefly universe, you would just have to kick it up a notch to keep your wits about you when scary situations came about.

I would spend weeks trying to come up with funny jokes to make Wash laugh, hoping that he would see me as funny and clever, and I would have to cover up the fact that I have a crush on him, which might be the reason Zoe don't like me.
Ditto!
I think I would get along with everyone. I'm a soft-spoken kind of gal. Introverted one might say. I don't really say anything unless it needs to be said and I'm open minded. Most of all, what the hell would I be doing on Serenity. Someone mentioned earlier that he/she has no purpose on that ship, well, same here! I'm useless. Don't see how I can help.
But I do know for a fact that Simon, Kaylee, Book, and Wash I could definatly get along with. I'm sort like them in each different way. Simon, I'm polite and curtious, try look clean and respectful and have table manners Don't know much about medical stuff though. Kaylee. I'm just so girlie, friendly and try to see the positive side of things. Book. I always like having long talks about religion and don't really say much about me. Wash. I can be sarcastic and bit of a smart-ass. Not really a fighter and can be serious. River. I could get along with her but could feel a bit unconfortable. Don't want someone reading my mind. I like my privacy, thanks very much. But most be fastinated by what she says.
And as for Mal and Zoe. I'm not really like them.I would feel a bit imintinated by them. I would just play follow the leader until I say something that I need to say.
Janye. He's a guy and I'm not. Nuff said.
Inara. We could have some friendly conversations but not be like BFF or anything. Possibly talk about whatever she learned at that academy. History, lititure, art etc.

XACTLY...see there in lies the problem, i didn think about the whole 'home surgery in broad light errr...shiplight' situation; id have a problem with getting cut up...and god knows i cant stop them indecent thoughts (and you guys all know you have em thoughts) river and me...might be a problem, i have this thing where i like to stay alive...and kitchen top lobotomy from a ... unusual ... little girl (no offense to little girls) wouldn't be the way to go...i think id probably find a way to get her to trust me...even with them indecent thoughts lol
the Gunfighting issue...that wouldn be a problem for me, back in ye olde country i got shot at quiet a few times, and i did mandatory army time, might as well put it to use.

I'd probably get along best with River. (Am I really the only one here who has no trouble understanding what she's talking about? Hell, at times I tend to start babbling stream-of-consciousness and random word-association.) Heh, I'd probably keep getting tapped to translate.
Jayne and I'd probably avoid each other unless he's in one of his effusive moods or trying to kick my ass for the last prank I pulled (in which case you'd find me hiding behind the couch or under the mule, or in the crawlspace in the cargo bay or under the stairs to the bridge, or behind River, or. . .).
I'd likely be hanging around Wash and/or Simon, as the three of us conspire to draw as much amusement as we can out of tormenting Jayne. (I can't help it; he's a jock and I'm a geek. We're natural enemies, it's basic high school ecology.)
Also, I have ambitions of being a space pilot, so I'd be in the cockpit a lot just as a matter of course, getting some pointers from an ace pilot.
Simon, of course, is a fellow nerd. I know the secret handshake and everything. Though I like to think I'd be a bit more comfortable with the rough-and-tumble life out here than he is.
I'd also be playing matchmaker between him & Kaylee, making me her best friend as well. Of course, she'd never see that I'm pining for her. . .
The Shepherd, Inara and I would have these long, esoteric dialogues on spirituality and philosophy. Probably long into the night. Much coffee being consumed.
Of course, the main thing that would get me aboard would be chronicling Mal & Zoe's rememberances about the war (for a book I'd be writing --sort of a "view from the trenches"-type thing, bein' careful to get both sides). Lot of discussions there, ranging from uncomfortable memories to Mal's knee-slapper about Tracy and the severed moustache.
I could also apprentice myself to Zoe (or Jayne, even) for some weapons training.
I'm pretty good at following orders from folks I trust.

Mal would shoot me because I was awake, armed and facing him.
Zoe would shoot me because I bothered her.
Jayne would shoot me if the money was right.
River would kill me with her brain.
Book would just kneecap me.
Inara would just sweep past elegantly. Which is fine by me. If she stopped and spoke to me, I'd just die.
Simon would shoot me if I stood real close, and held the gun against my chest. (Might take him a few attempts. He may be inaccurate, but he's a tenacious fellow, and would manage eventually.)
Wash would have to fire me because my fry-cooking abilities are not really up to snuff.
Kaylee would say "Aw shoot..." followed by something utterly charming.

The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.

Shooting you dead, or shooting you looks, or you shooting yourself in the foot. I like your twisty thinking!
Well, at least they didn't just put you out the airlock like poor Ursula!

Let's see...
Mal and I would probably get along simply because I don't like causing trouble and often do what I'm told because that's the easiest way to get along with someone. But, he probably wouldn't spend too much time getting to know me.
Zoe would treat me much like she treats Jayne. "Well...she's there...can't do much about it."
Wash would like me because I would laugh at almost everything he said. I have a very easy sense of humor, so I'd boast his confedence.
I would like Simon because he's a cutie! But I'd probably hang around him a lot, so he might toss me out. But at least I wouldn't agitate him.
Jayne on the other hand...well, I'd probably get on his nerves because I have a bad habit of correcting people when they don't speak properly. Enough said...
Inara and I would get along simply because she's the sort of person that gets along with everyone.
River and I would be friends because I think that we might actually be able to have a conversation. Seeing as my friends don't know what I'm talking about most of the time, I think I'd fit right in with River.
And Kaylee and I would get along because I mirror her personality the most. I always look on the bright side no matter the situation, I always want to see the best in people and I was use words like "Golly" a great deal. The only place we'd butt heads was when it came to Simon, but I suppose *she* could have him. She saw him first, after all...
Book and I, however, might not get along because I disagree a lot with his beliefs and point of view. We'd tolerate each other...but only because he's a Shepard and he has to.
Well, I'm not quite as clever as everyone else but those are my thoughts. Interesting question! I wish I could really be part of the crew...
