Man - I have been remiss in following this thread - these threads - just wanted to share my quiz results...

I did another quiz once - on MySpace I think... but I stumbled accross it and didn't bookmark it - for that one I got 94% Kaylee...

This first one I got ... guess what? 94% Kaylee...

Then the 2nd one I got (anyone want to take a guess at this one?) ... well I only got 85% Kaylee but I'm starting to see a pattern here...

Oh & for the other characters I got:
85% Kaylee
80% Book!?
70%Simon Tam
60% Mal Reynolds
55% for both Zoe & River
& only 45% Inara... (damn! I must be losing my indefinable allure... but it's that question about using sex to get things I suppose - I just can't stand that sort of behaviour)
25% Jayne
25% Reaver
20% Alliance... so I guess I'm a browncoat at heart!!

Hey - this is shiny!!

Love all you gorgeous single browncoats... why are we all single again?

Oh that's right - none of us live anywhere near each other do we... *sigh*

Hi... I posted on the other Singles thread, not knowing that most of you had moved on to this one. So... here's my post from the other thread, since it's easier than starting from scratch:
***************
Hi... just thought I'd drop in and admit to my singleness.

I'm Tim, and I live in Bloomington, Indiana. If my screen name looks familiar, it's because I started the Anniversary Job movement and gave a boost to the Big Damned Thank You folks (several of whom are on my crew at Serenitymovie.org, the Slightly Irregular Browncoats). For an immature Browncoat, I've got a few years on me. I'm 52, and it shocks me every time I think of that. I act younger than a lot of folks I know in their late 20s and early 30s!

I became a Browncoat in a strange and sad way. In 2005, my marriage came to an end. My now-ex asked for a Divorce in May, but we didn't file until October. September 30th was supposed to be our 10th Wedding Anniversary. She never came home from work that day, choosing to go to a friend's house. So there I was; my Anniversary, and in my house all alone.

I decided to go see a Movie.

Instead, I found Serenity. And through Serenity, I rediscovered my sense of family, and I now HAVE a family. A family made up of thousands of people who share the same Love and passion that I do: The Love of the Serenifly 'Verse.

There is still an empty spot in my life, though. I freely admit that I've been married *cough* Three times . Each time, I hoped to find True Love and raise a family. Twice I was a Step-dad, and really enjoyed it. My step-children still keep in contact, though gradually less as time goes by. This is as it should be I suppose, 'though I still get called "Dad" when they do call . I have no children of my own, darn it, and I suppose it's late in the game. I DO adore kids, though, so I'm open to all possibilities!

I own my own home, 3 bedrooms, two empty. I live about 2 miles outside of Bloomington, which is a very pretty College Town. I've held a job at GE, building Refrigerators, for 18 years now. I have a BA in Anthropology from Indiana University, and I also write songs, especially lyrics. I dabble in fossil collecting, am a former Museum Curator, and occasionally go on caving expeditions, exploring local caves and sinkholes.
Specialization is for insects lol.

I've enjoyed reading this thread, and look forward to reading a lot more TD/Tim
*********************************

So... that's me. I also posted an answer to VerseExplorer's question about whether I'd ever been to any Anthropological-type Sites. In typical "me" fashion, I replied with a Novel . It's still there if you wanna read it, V.

TD/Tim

ps: Only test I took, I was 66% Kaylee. Not as unsettling to me as you might think lol. She's good people, with the most HEART of anyone in or out of Fiction

pps: Tristan, I know full-well about empty houses. Mine still is, except for about 50 boxes of Her stuff. It's been a year since she moved out, and she has agreed that it's mine now. Can you say "Yard Sale"? lol

"Done the Impossible"? Heck, we're still Doing it!

Hi Tim...

Well, if I weren't on the other side of the world I'd look you up for sure! But as I said in my above post... *sigh* It does seem that the single browncoats are the most awesome folk in the 'verse and that it is a bit criminal that we're all unattached and living on 'different planets' ... doesn't it?

I am loving that there are more folk from Australia on FFF.net these days - means I actually have someone to talk with when you're all asleep in the States...

And did I share my Firefly discoverey story?

I was house-sitting for a friend (as I do) and she has the complete series - being a fellow Buffy/Angel fan she kept telling me about Firefly but I kept resisting and thinking 'why would I want to get involved in a story that I will never get to hear the end of? One evening, however, I was not quite tired enough to go to bed & thought it couldn't hurt to put this DVD on... I was in love at the words... "I love my Captain!" - Ironically I feel that these are some of the most 'real' folk in the 'verse and the whole Sci Fi angle is just window dressing! ... maybe this is why we browncoats are such awesome folk?

Anyway - I watched from Serenity (pilot) straight through to Shindig without pausing - then at 2.30am I went to the computer and googled 'Firefly' and found my home here - of course I was welcomed with open arms and haven't left!! I honestly don't know what I will do if I have a house-sitting job without internet access!!!

Love you all Browncoat singles!! - Magda x x x

Hello everyone. I and my single ass haveth returned. (sorry... just watched Black Knight again today. That movie is a trip... especially when they bust out the medieval version of "Dance to the Music").

TCBrown, pleasure to make your acquaintance!
I'm getting very used to having the house to myself...it's actually quite nice not to have to deal with another person. We did manage to get almost all of her stuff out...I'm still finding bits and pieces here and there, though...boxing them up for delivery.
A yard sale sounds like a good idea!

Magda, any time you are ready!

Hello Gladiator32! Welocme to the thread that keeps us songles sane... or in the case of a few folk... not!

It's good to hear from a Pom on here! You will have to pop over to the current picture thread and post one of your pics there... or here - if you like!

Hope it isn't getting too cold, too quickly after your long hot summer!

Tristan - I'm ready!

Love, Magda x x x
