TRISTAN

Monday, April 17, 2006 7:18 PM

I am sure that this kind of thread has been posted before, but being a relative newbie to FFF, I have decided to start a new one.

Call it a virtual "Meet and greet" of your fellow Browncoats. Basically, where are you located, what do you do, and how did you discover Firefly? This would also be a good thread for other newbies to find out all about the shiny people here. If you don't feel like leaving any info, don't. You can leave as much or as little as you like. I know all of us have "names" here, so we may just want to stick with those rather than use our real ones (I prefer to think of my name here as my real one, anyway )Moderator, if this is an invalid topic, please delete and let me know, so I may apologize profusely.

I guess I'll start.

Hi, my name is Tristan, and I am a Browncoat.
I am an insurance agent in-training in Anniston, Alabama.
The movie Serenity was my introduction to Firefly, and after getting hold of the DVD's, I realized I was, in fact, a Browncoat.

Holding until you get back , Captain.

Drat! I double-posted! I have no idea how I did that! I am sorry.
Is there anyway to get rid of one of these?

Holding until you get back , Captain.

Delete the contents of one and sit back and see what happens...

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.

*Welcomes Tristan to the boards*

OK, well, my name is Rose and I live in Colorado. Northern Colorado, far from the hub of Browncoat activity in the state, which makes me sad.
I answer phones for a living and I hate it. That's all I'm gonna say about it.
Serenity (the movie) was my introduction to the 'verse. My, uh, then-boyfriend was a litte more up on current events than I was (I haven't had a TV with any kind of reception for several years) and he knew that the movie was based on a show. So after I saw the movie a few times I bought the show. Then the movie. Then books. Then I came here and bought more books because people talked about them. Now I half live here and I've watched the series through more times than most normal people would consider healthy.
That went longer than I expected. This is fun! Who's next?

*************************************************
One day.
One mission.
One legion of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Looks like I'm a couple days late welcoming you Tristan, but welcome just the same :) (Not that I've been around here for more than a few months, either )

Name: well, nuclearday works just fine. My real name ain't as interesting. (And it's pronounced NewClearDay if it matters to anyone :)

Occupation: Running the night crew at the local grocery store pays my bills. Hope one day to actually do something useful with my BFA, though :P

Discovery: Saw a couple eps when Firefly was on Fox, then blocked the painful memory of it's cancellation out of my mind. Rented the DVD on a whim, and well... the rest is history. Ain't never looked back, not with a such a shiny bunch of 'Coats around here.
