hey oog, where is your little quote "you're my kind of stupid" from? it sounds very familiar, but i do not remember it from any episode of Firefly. is it from somewhere else?
That's a qoute from Heart of Gold. Mal says it to Nandi when she refuses to run.

Self explanatory, no?

pedme is one of the many ways you can spell the Tibetan word for "lotus flower." another way is padme, just like the character in star wars. no doubt the reference is intentional, but that is the most exoteric way to spell the name. if lucas really knew what he was talking about, her name would have been "peme."
i picked it initially because i love myth, and i write, and those two go together, so to use the tibetan word for lotus flower that had also been used in star wars was showing myth that went together with writing (if only to me).
84 is a sacred Jain number, but i've seen it in a Tibetan buddhist text, too, so who knows? maybe it just gets around.

Grace O'Malley, or Granuaile (1530-1603) was an Irish pirate chieftan...much celebrated in song and legend.

Mine comes from my two all time favorite TV shows.

It's Scottish, although I didn't know that when I picked it. See, I thought I made it up. When I was writing a fantasy story, I created a character who was a woman of two worlds, belonging to neither and often had to forgive the frailties and cruelties of men. I liked the name "Channing" and changed it to "Channain" to give it a vaguely elvish sound. I use it for every online e-mail because I don't have to put numbers after it - nobody else has claimed it.
Here's the cool part about it, though. I Googled on "Channain" once and after about eight Firefly entries (go figure 
), there was an article about a lake in the Highlands of Scotland by the same name. So maybe it turns out I had an ancestor from that area, once upon a time, who married into the Ferguson Clan (MacFaergis in the Gailic) and the name is actually a genetic memory.
And in case you're wondering, the avatar I'm using is for the sake of the RP "Adventures in Gunrunning." It's actually Jeannette Lee, a RL nine-ball player.

In the end credits of Animaniacs (the best cartoon ever created, the 2nd best TV show behind Firefly), at the end they always do a short scene in the water tower. One of the things they did was Yakko saying "And remember, Yakko spelled backwards is Okkay."
BTW, 3of19, I also play the Star Trek CCG game. Interesting.

Heh, my screen name derives from my husband hating playing Trivial Pursuit with me, and my tendency to be a smart-alecky know-it-all.
My old nickname was Bronwynn, but I (and my husband) just got tired of it after playing several D&D and Neverwinter Nights characters named that. I thought about using Ishtara SittHakim, which is my old character's name in Dark Age of Camelot, and which is a reference to my favorite author Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody mysteries. But once again, I decided to be different. Sometimes you just want to freshen up a little!

It's all about keeping a good attitude in the midst of all the crap life may throw at you.
