Phoenix, nice fighting shots. Hey, actions shots need to be a bit blurry, still looks good. The shirt is very fitting, it's a Jayne type shirt and you know he's always ready to kick some ass.

msg, oh my goodness, they are such dolls!! I just wanna pinch the lil cheeks.

Chris, ok I totally missed that part of the statement till JonnyQuest quoted it. Sorry, lil slow, lol! Thank you for that. I actually saw myself as more of a video game vixen, but action movie role works too. But I totally agree with the Charlie's Angels thing. If I was by some chance (oh HELL no) involved with that I'd just end the world myself, be done with it.


Well, I don't have any cute lil Browncoats, but I'll share some family. And most of them are Browncoats so they are pretty worthy of showing.


More of my hubby, had to show off the reason I married him. Ignore my red hair, big temp. lapse in judgement...



This is my added fam. The 3 guys in the front are my hubby's bros and the blonde is his sis in law. They so look like trouble....

Pleased to meet you. Any lass o' Scotland is a friend o' mine. Haen't seen ye before but I like your online name (what's your favorite comic?) and I see you used my signature line (part of it anyway) in your post.
Now that I've completely put you off, please ignore me and meet the rest of those you might not know, who I promise won't be quite as given to affectations as I am.



Thanks Jonny. Have to ask why you Americans seem to go nuts over the Scottish accent. I'm just back and was getting stopped in stores just so people could hear my accent!
Comic-wise, anything X-men is my friend, also liking Bill Willingham's Fables and the Luna Brothers stuff right now.
I've not been around much cos real life has been getting in the way (Damnit)but I'm hoping to be one the boards more now.



I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

For me, it's because I'm of Scottish heritage myself. I'm one of those guys that probably annoys the hell out of people who actually live in Scotland, loving everything about the culture and history, with no real concern for it's modern incarnation. I think the term would be "yuppie".

Ex: I once saw an old man walking around in a kilt here in the US. I immediately thought, "That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.". Having re-kindled my interest in Scotland, I immediately went home and looked up some people from Scotland to talk to. "Surely", I thought, "They enjoy tossing trees and giant stones in their spare time.", but NO! They dye their hair blond and go clubbing just like people in America!

Reality sucks!

Let my spirit rise, Valkiries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

What can I say? The tree throwing just isn't practical in the rain.

And just to let you know, I'm a natural blonde who dyes her hair dark!

The best science fiction isn't about spaceships and rayguns although those might be present. It's about looking at ourselves and the world around us and our place in it maybe in a way we never had before. Why do you like Firefly? It's Class A science fiction. (Even has blue uniforms!) But that not why any of us like it. We see bits of ourselves in the characters. Harlan Ellison is one of those gifted writers, like Joss, who can do that. Ellison wrote for the Twilight Zone (Rod Serling is one of my all-time heroes, in a Big Damn way) and one of the most popular episodes of Star Trek ever, City on the Edge of Forever. He's got a short story called Repent Harlequin, Said the TickTock Man, which is a quick read and has won all kinds of awards.

But he does look cool in the shades.

JonnyQuest - First of all, please don't give anyone ideas about making another Charlie's Angels movie. I have this sinking feeling that the next one will coincide with the end of the world.

I'm a believer. I hope I haven't jinxed the human race...!
Quote:

...I told her that I didn't care what happened to it, if she didn't get it at all, threw it out, or kept it, I'd never know and I was contented with just having expressed myself. I also made sure to include that it was sterilized :)

That is what made it noble as well as sentimental.

...you know that someone already gave me shit for my current signature pic?

Are you fking kidding me? What is possibly wrong with it? (This is why I don't visit RWED so much anymore. There could be productive if not convincing discourse there, but so much of it gets reduced to name-calling. Hey, that was a gripe from another thread...)
Quote:

In public, people look, and stare. They form opinions about me, negative ones, based on something that I'm personally very proud of. I laugh to myself every time I see someone staring at me out of the corner of my eye.

Hmmm. Scarred and trench-coated mafioso. Either he's a gangster who just stepped out of a time machine, or he's a gangsta or one of those terrible videogame players that grow up to be postmen! I bet he's packing heat right now and wouldn't blink an eye if he killed me dead. You couldn't possibly be a real American hero who hasn't lost touch with his humanity. Vietnam taught us they could never be one of us again. They're too different and we ought to, need to, fear them.

That close? Kelkhil and NVG, and any other vets, please chime in. Not in my book gentleman.
Quote:

It's funny how people can form such negative opinions based on eccentricities. Maybe heroes are only remembered as such after they're long dead. Maybe time is the only thing that grants perspective to the true meaning of their actions. I hope that I have that glory someday.

All I can say to that is:

Place my body on a ship and burn it on the sea,
Let my spirit rise, Valkiries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.


And I hope you live to see that glory and not die trying.

Quotes and quotes within quotes, I'm in heaven. So much less for me to write.
The accent - anything that isn't "American" English is "exotic". Of course we take it a step further and regionalize it within our own borders. *Thinks dreamily of MsG's Georgia Peach Vocalizations and LittleAlbatross29's Brooklynese* Scottish English, to us is barely dicypherable and therefore extremely exotic.

X-Men - is GOOD! My prize possession is Giant-Size X-Men #1 in good to very good condition: heh, heh, heh, bought at the newstand for a mere 50 cents brand new. Sigh.

Stones and kilts - A good friend of mine goes to the Highland Festival we have here every year. He's a piper and teaches it too. There is no such thing as blended malt Scotch if anyone is interested.

Tree throwing in the rain - Scots are nothing if not "practical", isn't that right?

Blond - Note to self: easy on the blond jokes.

One of my favorite CD's is Scott MacDonald's Sons of Somerled? Are you familiar with it? Och. Now I got to go play it.
Have a good night.

EDIT: It's Steve McDonald. How's that for stereotyping?

So, y'all know what I did tonight? I took pictures of myself. Yep. Dug out some costumes and just went to town. You did this to me....this thread demanding more pictures has turned me into a full-fledged camera Companion!

Now, please be kind. I had a field day....there are no normal-dressed shots in here at all...there's even one of me in a kilt...with no shirt. That one I am worried about. I am not muscle-bound, nor am in anything approaching shape, but I feel comfortable enough sharing with my fellow Browncoats.
So, a Musketeer, a Landsknecht, an Elizabethan, and a Celt... just tell me when to stop....


Oh, extra points to anyone that can identify the symbol on the cloak...and no, it's not a fleur du lis











Alright. I'm done for now...until the Siren call of the camera drags me back in again!

Thank you, PR! Just have to be careful with it, that's all.
