Its been said before but it sure doesnt hurt to say it again. The Browncoats are the most supportive community ever, thanks to everyone who responded to my last blog, your support is always welcome. Started watching the show Jeremiah earlier, not bad actually. Bit to episodeic at times, and ofcourse its no Firefly, but it will keep me company for a while. And also, ive started making stats for the Spaceships that I am designing for my Serenity RPG Chronicle, if anyones interested heres the first draft. Note however that I have yet to calculate things like tonage and capacity. For more info about the ships see my earlier blog entry Spaceship Designs or my message board post, What should I call her?. Safe flying friends. Rough stats for my Spaceships: Mallard Class Light Transport. Agility: d6 Strength: d6 Vitality: d6 Alertness: d4 Intelligence: d4 Willpower: d8 Speed Class: 4 / 7 (fullburn) Lifepoints: 14 Initiative: d4 + d4 Quirks: Shakes in hard burn; When in hard burn the Mallard (especially the cargobay) tends to vibrate heavily. Assets: Fast Throttle; The Mallard has two linked engines which gives it a good punch in hard burn (minor) Detachable Cargobay; The Mallard can release its cargohold just like a modern day cargo container (minor), Complications: Memorable; Because of its special design (detachable cargohold) the Mallard is easily remembered by people (minor), Skills: Athletics d4, Covert d2, Perception d2, Pilot d2, Vulture Class Salvage Cruiser Agility: d4 Strength: d8 Vitality: d6 Alertness: d4 Intelligence: d2 Willpower: d4 Speed Class: 3 / 5 (fullburn) Lifepoints: 12 Initiative: d2 + d4 Quirks: When a Vulture enters Atmo it loses what little agility it has and shakes and rattles. Assets: Standard models aint really got any assets. Complications: Ugly as Sin; The Vulture aint exactly a pretty ship (minor), Seen better Days; The Vulture was used before the war, so it aint young either (minor). Skills: Athletics d2, Heavy Weapons d4, Perception d2, Pilot d2, Gear: The Vulture has a huge grappling arm used for salvage. It is used with the heavy weapons skill. Cricket Class Light Transport Agility: d8 Strength: d4 Vitality: d6 Alertness: d2 Intelligence: d2 Willpower: d2 Speed Class: 5 / 7 (fullburn) Lifepoints: 10. Initiative: d2 + d4 Quirks: The Cricket has better suspension in its aft landing gear to protect the engine, therefore the landing usually feels a little bit bumby in the front part of the ship. Assets: Standard Crickets don’t come with such shiny things. Complications: Lightweight; The Cricket is a fragile creation (minor). Skills: Athletics d4, Perception d2, Pilot d2,

Dear Joss, So I was watching the extras on the Serenity DVD again. And I haven't done so since I've seen the series. Some of that stuff seriously brought tears to my eyes. Just a bit though. I mean, the fridden show was cancelled! No one recovers from that. Except you, Joss. Dude-man-bro, I love ya, man. I used to love ya for yer wit and characters. Now I love ya for that and your incorrigibility. If that is even a proper word. No matter. You can make up words. So can I. You never gave up. Still haven't. We as fans can see that you never will. We stand with you. Together we are strong and can overcome whatever odds. So I love you, Joss. Almost as much as I hate you. Whatever are we to do without Wash? Damn you Joss. I can't help thinking we'd all be better off without the BDM. Man, killed off TWO main characters. One is par for the course. Gotta happen. Book was a martyr. But Wash??? I personally dunno if I can go on without him... So, Joss, 'curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!' Love ya man. sincerely, an anonymous fan

...until now. Why now? Why not. Gossi (WhoIsRiver) said that there should be a law that I post more often. I'm a libertarian, though. I will post as often as the free market will bear. No more laws, [i]PLEASE[/i]! But thanks, gossi. I still recall fondly the talk of marriage. (I was pretty proud of the post that sparked that one, but I think the UB swallowed up that whole thread* before it went down. Pity.) ((* I do have my spell-checkable copy of that post saved, however, if anyone is interested in my genius. I know [i]I[/i] am...)) Typically I try not to post too much pointless stuff all about me, but, uh, this [i]is[/i] a blog, so...no apologies - [i]you[/i] clicked!

Poem 1....Please be gentle.

So sorry to see you here as well Lost in your mindlessness, zombified Just swim through your every day, okay And cut your puppet strings on the other side Because today we are mass produced Blow up dolls in all shapes and sizes All mediocrity with no suprises And our canned laugher echos through Our pretty, pretty model A houses Clinging to the arm of our Ken doll We make them our Type B spouses Don't let them hear you say it's not okay See, we were all meant to live this way. I am very shy about letting people read my poetry. I came from a small town and was different, so when people read my stuff, well....lets just say some were a little mean. One girl said, " Uhhhh... Do you really feel this way?" Read that with a snobby little attitude. That's how she said it. So, constructive things, good. Just posting to be mean.....not so good.

Not much new with me, just hopping around, hoping to find some neat new things about Firefly/ Serenity. Sorry, I haven't written forever, I've been kinda busy. This weekend, I'm going to Boone, (Iowa) for a three-day camping type thingie, so I'm looking foward to that. *wink* Have a great day everybody!
