HMPH! Forget it! If I can't be the ONLY attention seeker in the group, I don't want to play!

Best Firefly female... that's really hard to decide. They're all so completely different from each other, each bringing their own special qualities to the show.

I can't go with who I love the most, because I love them all! I guess it would have to be the one I couldn't imagine the show continuing without. In which case it would have to be River.


I am so with you on this one and you put it so eloquently. But I can't imagine the show without any of them.

As an aside, I wasn't really expecting to start a ponderance, I was just trying to get a feel for what CMH was looking for in a woman. Jeepers, my unintentional ones get a lot more "airtime" than the ones I put out there on purpose. What does that say about me? (I hope that's not another one!) Oh, yeah, I forgot, I'm an attention male-whore.

Not that I have any personal experience in that area but I'd guess pretty fulfilling.



OMG, to start the day with that? FANTASTIC. Good thing the co-workers haven't started filtering in yet. They'd think I was a crazy person.

Why is it that I read through all the threads and then when I go to reply, I can't remember anything?

What I do remember is someone asked about the crazy time zone. It's set on Hawaii time, so three hours behind me in CA.

Favorite Firefly female? I think River, but I identify most with Zoe. I would like to be more like Kaylee, but I'm just not that sweet and nice. I've got quite an edge to me. Oh, and I identify with Inara's wardrobe the most(from the show..the movie, not so much). LOVE it. But would like to add Zoe's leather (show and movie).

I have two more quotes, both fit within the framework of this thread:

"A woman is often measured by the things she can not control. She is measured by the way her body curves or doesn't curve, by where she is flat or straight or round. By all the outside things that don't ever add up to who she is on the inside. And so, if a woman is to be measured, let her be measured by the things she can control, by who she is and who she is trying to become. By her passions, her dreams, her goals. Because as every woman knows, measurements are only statistics, and statistics lie."

and

"It's a great loss when young men no longer look at you, but it's a far greater gain because you no longer see yourself through their eyes." - Chrissy Hynde (I think...it was some significant female rocker)

GRRR! ARRGH! Sorry RIMG. I've been meaning to compliment the hat for days now. It seems to frame your face perfectly. Like it was made by a lovin' muther fer her son ta look cunning in.

Morning, all.
It started out as a busy day...this is not a good sign!

CMH, yeah, it was meant for the whole post there...still made me smile reading it again this morning!

Magda, it just proves that the man is a stronger person than most of us.
You need not seek out attention! Just look towards me!

Favorite quotes...hmm...I have a few I like, but none are coming to mind right now.

Firefly female? Kaylee. I know, I should be going for Zoe, but there's something about Kaylee...

DTH, I like you.

Oh, "Dead to me" response...prejudice, stupidity, ignorance, overtly religious (Of ANY sort), heavy drug use...huh. I have a lot of those, eh?

I think I'm caught up now. Good morning to those I missed, and I hope to be around now and then today.

MsG!
*ahem* I do like a certain progression, you know. I do not plan... I'm not... I do not just...

I'll be nice!

As for gentle... That might depend. I certainly tend to start out that way...

*coughs several times and goes to get a drink*

'Mornin Ponderables. Not much of anything happened last night.

I choked!

But we did talk about a few things that made me think/dream a bit this morning. It is correct to assume that my thought that withholding love may be the greatest sin.

I can't do that. Must say something before it buries me.

Dang it, I lost my post.

Tristan reminded me about "dead to me" response. Racism and cruelty. Yep, that'll do it.

CMH: Back when we were talking about Xenophon, you asked about other books on training horses for combat. I never answered, mostly because that just isn't an area that I am interested in. But there are the guys we call the "Old Dead Gods" who had serious influence of today's systems of riding. Vladimir Littauer and Federico Caprilli are two of the fathers of the modern forward seat. Gordon Wright was ex-calvary and had a huge influence on America's systems of riding, most noteably through George Morris, the current Chef D'Equipe of the US Equestrian Team (and someone I'm hoping to be able to take a clinic with next winter).
