Forgot to introduce myself! What was i thinking???

Anywho. I'm *classified*, from *classified*, and Firefly rocks my socks. Specially the penguin ones.
Yeah...Going to the Air Force in April, gonna fix the pretty planes. Mechanically inclined gals rock.
I like the mountains, thus, MountainGal.
I do much beady stuff, i find it fun and think beady stuff is purty.
Ah...What else...

Oh yes, i'm the resident Christian. I don't preach tho, i don't like to have lotsa people looking at me at once.

Your turn. Chat amongst yourselves. Don't be shy now.

You can't take the sky from me.

Hello! I've been looking for a place to put my first post, and this seemed appropriate. I'm new to this board (but not to online communities), and also new to the US, where I just moved from the UK, to marry a lovely man ...who I met online. So far, Firefly is proving to be one of the perks of moving here, since I have no idea when the poor UK will get it. I'm sending tapes to my family because they're Buffy fans (like me), and I think they'll appreciate the show.

Don't actually have a job yet, because the INS likes to preach to you about how much it wants you not to be a burden on the state when you emigrate here, then make you fill in 3000 forms to actually be allowed to work.

Also, yes, mechanically inclined girls do rock. As a female architecture graduate, I know what it's like to be surrounded by boys and their toys.

I've been on the boards for a few weeks, wandering around and throwing spanners into discussions with my own ideas. What the heck, I'll contribute here as well... :-)

I'm relatively new to Firefly, having heard of it via commercials but never actually taken the time to watch until the show popped up in discussion on a mailing list. Then it sounded intriguing (before that, I'd watched a few eps of Buffy and the like but been underwhelmed by the setting and effects)... so I fired up my P2P program of dubious legality and went looking for eps. Several hours later, I was hooked.

It's a fun pastime to pass the time with, particularly given that real life could be better. (I'm one of those out-of-work California computer programmers who's having a tough time competing with the other 80,000-plus who are also out of work in the immediate area, so I'm working retail this holiday season.) Firefly allows me the benefit of dreams -- tapping into that pioneer impulse coupled with my own strong anti-authoritarian streak -- that I find very comforting in these times.

As for my name... well, let's just say I chose it back when I was younger, and more ignorant of the nuances of Japanese. It actually translates to "black hair", which is definitely a misnomer in my case.... :-)

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.
