I'm watching "War Stories" right now. I hate that Niska guy. I hate people who want to break other people by way of torture. I need another glass of wine.

But the actor is so awesome! And, well, Niska is supposed to be hated.
I was gonna advice against having another glass of wine, but if you're still able to post, I guess it's all right.

Happy Birthday Girl! I am proud of you for opening up and saying, "Hey, I have problems!".
It's really hard. Even on a forum where you don't really know anyone (IRL). I am also proud of everyone here, because they are really supportive. I just told my boyfriend of 5 years (fiancee now) that I am a cutter and have attemped suicide before. I havn't told anyone but my therapist that. With his supportive, positive response I feel more confident that, hey, I have problems, but I can still be loved and love in return. Keep your head up, keep on keeping it real.

This baby is able to post. I'm gonna finish watching ALL of Firefly before I pass out and passout I shall.

The more I watch this, the more I revisit my orginal impression when I 1st watched the entire Firefly series..FOX screwed up in a big way, and it angers me that such a good show, and such fine actors got flushed down the toilet the way they did.

Firefly should have at least been given 4 seasons. Just my opinion though. Now back to the show and yet another glass of wine.

River


P.S. I don't know if its me, but Firefly seemed like it was dogged every inch of the way....like some group, or some idiot didnt want it to be aired. It just looks that way. Even the movie. They misrepresented it. The coming attractions were weird. The DVD box are full of images that has NOTHING to do with the actual show or the plot. This show was sabotaged big time.

I'm getting mad! Maybe this is a good sign. Oh well, back to watching the show...


What's Laconic?

I shall, and thank you for the kind words. It seems that you know the score in concerning myself because you have gone through the same. And yes, the people here are VERY supportive (is that spelled right?) and I am forced to learn by example. Being Darth Vader and the complete, selfish bitch doesn’t work for me anymore. It gets you lonely and crazy. I am going against my own nature trying to be this way, and my true nature is being a very sociable person.

But, back to Firefly. I’m watching “War Stories” right now and this Niska guy is annoying me, which calls for another glass of wine.

I think it sucks that Mal "let him live" instead of him escaping when Mal was occupied with his bodyguard. I mean, he kicked Crow in the engine for swearing to go after him, and he knows that Niska's reputation means a lot to him, so what gives?

On the other matter...
One of my ex-girlfriends used to be a cutter, and I couldn't deal with that. She's manic-depressive, and all I wanted was to make her happy, and she had phases where she was just devastated for no reason and cut herself, and I just couldn't help her - it was driving me crazy, and I'm not using that as a phrase. I couldn't understand how someone I love so much couldn't love herself. So when I noticed that instead of me making her happy, she was making me depressive as well, I broke up with her. Now that wasn't as easy for me as it may sound here, and took me loooong time to do, because I still loved her.
Ironically, I still kept helping her with her problems and dealing with them and all that, but I had already lost her.
We're still best friends, though, and she's better now. I wish I could say because of me, but I guess the credit goes to medication. But I'd like to think I did my share and still am. Actually, I sort of fell a bit in love with her again some time ago, and still kinda am, but so much happened in the last 5 years, including other relationships, and I don't wanna ruin our really shiny friendship and all that.
So many wrong choices in my life...

Anyways, just wanted to show the "other" pov on that problem.

Well #1 you can't turn off love like a light switch and that’s what Hollywood wants us to believe, and #2 you did what a good friend does...you hung in there with the person you actually cared about. This by the way is a crime against humanity...go figure?

You really like and love your ex, this is a given to you as far as you are concerned and that's a good thing and it shows what your true colors are. It shows us what you consider important.

You are a person of honor. Most people would have thrown away their ex who acted and behaved like yours did...you did not, and you held out. Good for you. Hold your head up and count yourself as one of the few, but great people on Earth who knows what the word love really means.

As far as Niska is concerned in War Stories, yes, Mal should have killed him, but I suspect the writers wanted him in later episodes, so Mal got to kill the henchman instead, but I really wanted Mal to kill Niska. Oh well, Now off to the episode called “Trash” which calls for yet another glass of wine. I am really enjoying myself right now. This is fun and I’m glad I know about Firefly.

Did you get the impression that he said all of that while riding a white horse in a storm? I did. That calls for yet another glass of wine.

Ahhhh a very nice sentiment River. Ya'll see me crying in a second :) We are all here for the same reason and unlike every other forum i've joined this one is full of kind hearted people. We all have bad times in life (even goramn me) but those bad times and challenges are what makes you a better person.
