A shiny hello to all

So I've been lurking around here from time to time for quite some time now. Finally I decided to actually join up and talk to you fine people. Some might already have bumbed into me in the "Firefly and Serenity Guerilla Marketing" section. But I thought, a proper introduction should be made. 
So Hay, I'm Dana *shakes hands with everyone* and this is my tiny little story about little old me.
For years I've been a hardcore Buffy fan. I can't really remember for how many years now.. Back when the news was given to us that Buffy was ending, alot of blame was put on Firefly for this. We didn't feel Joss cared for Buffy anymore, instead he just cared about this thing called Firefly.
Out of principals I actually didn't watch the show for a long time. I was so angry at the whole thing so I didn't want anything to do with it (shame on me!). But then, during 2004 I began to run into more and more things relating to Firefly while browsing Buffy news sites. I finally broke down and asked for the DVDs for x-mas/my birthday (just 6 days apart, who cared which day I got 'em ;)). So anyway, I finally got them and I decided to sit down and watch.
I was hooked..
I got my mom into it (she's very easy to get into things I like. Like me, she's a huge Buffy fan as well :)) and I tried getting my brother there as well, but he's got the attentionspan of a camel. Tell him it's anime and he's there. Tell him it's a regular show with 15 episodes à 42min and he hides.
I was jumping for joy when on December 13 I finally got to see Serenity in the movies. I remember it so well. We were 5 people in the audience (which really shows that Sweden isn't aware of Firefly) and the two guys sitting behind me and my mom was talking about the show before the movie started. One of them had seen it and the other hadn't, so the first one tried to explain to the other one about the show, thing is.. he really didn't know the show at all. Got things mixed up and.. well, I ended up laughing pretty hard at his confusion 
And then the movie started. When Serenity first appeared on screen, I can tell you the truth that I really teared up due to such happiness that it was finally here, I got to see it!
A few weeks ago I finally got my 'Done the Impossible' DVD and CD (which is being played pretty much 24/7) and I've become even more obsessed after that (didn't think it was possible *lol*)
I guess my über Browncoatyness has sneaked up on me without me realising it really. Now I try to do all I can to help contribute to the campaign of the big damn trilogy.
On a more personal note. I'm a 23 year old gal working in a very small hotell in a town called Lund, but I live in Malmö. Of course these places are located in Sweden. I also have a passion for websites and naturally have a domain of my own - Dana.TheDudes.Nu - where you'll find all kinds of sites.
Big dream of mine is getting my driverslicence and then heading off to the states and spend between 6months and 1 year just driving through the country and see as much as possible.
So that's me.. and alot of rambling (which I tend to do)

Funny, my hope is to get a motorcycle license and drive around Europe for a long time... I may be knocking on the door to your hotel, LOL!
If you happen into Vermont on your trip, stop by my place and watch an episode or two!

Hay ho!
Well, I guess looking back now, I was more angry at the fact that Buffy was over and that the series finally made me look at my mom and go 'huh?' when the last scene was over.. But I'm happy I got around to getting Firefly so I could discover this amazing world of Browncoats and Allianse :)
I thank thee, and might just pick you up on that! :)

Thank you, I'm starting to feel really welcomed here. A warm fuzzy feeling is entering my body
Yeah, I saw your thread and was meaning to post a reply, got distracted by the video editing though ;) I have a feeling that this group will never stop growing or start to shrink!
Thanx for all the kind comments guys!

Hello TheDana...
Welcome to the Wild World of Whedon... great to have you here.
That's a very shiny website you have there. Pretty, pretty pictures.
I don't think I've had the pleasure of speaking online to anyone from Sweden. Being from the vasty nothingness that is Texas, it's very refreshing to think of your beautiful country. I know very little about Sweden, but I've read that Malmo is a particularly lovely city.
Remind me how you tell the difference between the 5 kronor and the 10 kronor....? (that's an old Seinfeld joke...sorry)
See you around the board..
