Basically, I've always loved the character concept of Snake Plissken from Escape From New York and Escape From LA. Anti-hero badass who hates authority. My kinda guy.
My Sig = one of the best scenes in a movie EVER.

It came to me in a dream, and I forgot it in another dream.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.
Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

Is that "yoots" or "joots"? Or perhaps "hoots"?

I have a last name that is not pronounced as it is spelled, and most people do not get it right on the first try. Many moons ago, my high school calc teacher (who was a riot and gave everyone nicknames) called role on the first day of class and came up with "Krispies" as my last name (it was either that or Kleenex). So he decided to call me Rice Krispies for the next two years. I like my spelling of Ryce better. It could have been worse: another girl was called Tarantula.
No power in the 'verse can stop me!

I was indoctrinated into Westerns and sci-fi as a nipper and I was always fascinated by the idea of the pony express.
When I was trying to come up with a screen name, I had a plot bunny kicking around about the Firefly verse version of the Pony Express, (Very small ship, comparatively huge engine, perfect for smuggling black market beagles).
Anyway, the story never went anywhere but it was the first thing I thought of when I joined up.
So, one day there may be a story about the Pony Express Incorporated and that's where PonyXpressinc came from.
It's really my mild mannerd alter ego, I have other names elsewhere Bwah ha ha ha ha!

When I was a bit younger (up till I turned 18, 5 years ago) the Church I used to belong to had a camp that was a combined archaeology/Native American culture camp. I'm not Native American but I find the culture fascinating and I'm an Anthropologist. The woman who ran the camp was a Seneca Elder named Grandmother White Wolf and she gave all of the campers Native American names. We each got a younger name and an adult name. The name I was given during my last year at the camp (when I was 18) was Dreamwalker. I've always thought it was beautiful and I've used it on a couple of message boards and it's my AIM screen name (Dreamwalker2415 if anyone ever wants to chat).

It's probably self-explanatory, but just in case anyone thinks it has anything to do with ballet...
I've been practicing various martial arts since I was 12, which makes me... whoa.
Anyway, my feet ain't kissing the dirt much, so to speak. So's you can imagine my delight when River whispers "Miranda" and proceeds to gracefully and beautifully kick the living go-se out of everyone in the bar.
Thank you Joss Whedon! Martial arts done right in an American-made film always tickles my soul.
