Joking!My husband was raised in Delta Junction. It is a very tiny town. "A spit in the road" I call it. Or "out in the boonies", but that's usually reserved for air-access-only places. lol
Your spelling all looked fine to me ;)
I'm so burnt out on winters, I don't know if I'll ever want to live anywhere where it gets snow, ever again.

I guess I'd want to be thought of as a combination of those two. How's that for diversity?
That's pretty funny, a friend of mine and I were trying to decide who we were in Firefly characters and I was Kaylee-Jayne and he was Simon-Wash.

Well its always seemed to me that once you've been to Alaska, it somehow never entirely leaves you.
Glad to know you OOG and Orange Hat. I'm sure we'll bump into each other again on these boards!

Age: 18
Where am I from: Swindon, England
How did I get to know Firefly:
Being a Joss fan I couldn't wait for this to air on the sci-fi channel over here. I watched them all and then my Mum (bless her) got me the US dvds and a multi-region dvd player to play them on. Didn't watch them for a while though but watched them just before going to the Fusion con that some of the firefly cast attended and suddenly got terribly obsessed. Then went to fusion and got even worse.
Other things I like: Anything Joss related, The West Wing on the tv front.
Otherwise - Science. I want to be a theoretical physicist but I'm not sure that'll happen.
I play chess and like to go rock climbing when I can. I'm a Ranger guide and like to go camping.
Well, my sister's a ship... we had a
complicated childhood

I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

Alias: Perididdle
Meaning of alias: It's a drumming technique, that's about all I know of the actual word. A character I use in stories was given a ferret, and having sat in on my band classes when the director would yell 'PERIDIDDLE!' to the percussion, she chose it for a name. I was bored when I signed up for something else a long while back, so I just chose the name and it kinda stuck.
Gender: Female
Age: 13 as of July 8th
Location: Millersburg, Missouri, USA
Introduction to Firefly: I became a Buffy fan a week or two after the last episode. Very, very quickly became obsessed, and someone I talk to A LOT also likes the show. He said something about Firefly, and then I saw the ad for it on TV. Gave the DVDs a chance and fell in lurve. ^_^
Other interests: WRITING, drawing, role-playing, video games (I can kick some SERIOUS Spyro the Dragon butt. Squeee.), horseback riding, music (listening to, mostly) and theatre, musical or otherwise.
Favorite FF character: Kaylee. So innocent, sweet, happy and DAMN CUTE! How I wish I were her (or dating her...if I were, you know, older so it would be legal......)

Hey I love doing these "getting to know you..."
Alias: SamuraiX47
Meaing of alias: see link to other thread...
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=5373#66886
Gender: Male
Age: 39 (second year)
Where From: Born in Japan (i'm half japanese). Lived in over 19 residences, across 10 states and 2 countries. Father was Air Force(60s)/Navy (70'S 80'S). I attended an engineering/science college in upstate NY. I was an officer in the Navy. I've been in Rhode Island since 1991.
Firefly Obsession: began when I watched Train Job on tv. Tried to catch other episodes. Picked up the DVD as soon as it came out. Joined Fireflyfans.net in January 2004.
Science Fiction: Is my life. I have been an ardent reader since 3rd Grade. I have about 1500 Science fiction paperbacks in my personal library. I'm writing now but haven't sold anything. I'm not quite up to date with current SF authors... most of my reading is pre-90s with a few recents adds... being a husband/father to 2 beautiful girls can be a time-consuming task.
Loved Star Wars in '77 and got involved with filmmaking, which led to working in video production and television in Rhode Island. But that work dried up and I found a position at the Community College of RI in 1999.
I visited family in Japan in 1974 at the age of 10 and watched way too much TV while there. Discovered Anime long before anyone called it that in the US. Visited Japan a few more times.
I read DC comics in the 70s. I also enjoy cooking, yard work, commuting, 80's New Wave and Alternative music, Soundtracks, all kinds of movies and film.
I'm currently the secretary for the Rhode Island Science Fiction Club, and I will be at Noreascon4 (World SF Con) in Sept. in Boston. Look for me in the space suit.

It's really james, but, you know...
