I'm angsty. And all becasue of a stupid holiday that is not my own. We were slated to have Easter dinner with our not blood, but much closer to us,family. They live locally. Alas, her eighty odd year old father is having a malignant tumor removed from his brain on Tuesday. Needless to say, she needs to be in another state. I understand, I am not upset at her cancelling. Just concerned. What kills me is that she was going to drive to see her family for Easter, drive back here to have Easter with us Sunday night and then drive back to her family Monday. Damn. That really gives me warm fuzzies. We had to initally reject a last minuite offer from my husbands father to attend dinner with them. This was fine with me as there is alot of bad and awkward blood there. I am not totally comfy and it's an hour and half or so away. However, with us free, there was no reason NOT to go see my father-in-law and his wacky wife. This left me with kind of a moral dilemma. I don't necessarily want to spend my evening there. But it seemed like the right thing to do. It would make these people happy, seeing their granson. Just feels right to go. Got no good reason not to. But there is that part of me that does not want to let them win. One really dark part that wants to deny them what they want. Just cause. Revenge for a few years of crap talk and hurt feelings. I don't want that side of me to win, so I guess I'm not a Reaver, I'm a human girl. And I have no idea... Wrapping up, since it's Easter and it's hot here, I'm dressing my kid up in his Wash-esque Hawiian shirt. Something I would like to see rise again. I don't mean that dirty, children. Thanks for letting me rant, sorry for the legnth and enjoy Easter or Passover, if that's your thing.

Yup, I went to Target today looking for holiday gifts and found Firefly in the DVD section, a whole section of them, okay it was one space but the space was piled four deep!, also found Serenity however there were fewer copies of the BDM.

BRAINSPECIALIST

Hello sweet (Mostly), innoccent (Never), Universe! How art thou? Anyway, I decided to tell you about my series, Traveller's Tales. The first chapter was about River's dreams, and how she anticipated the character of Jack. To the guy who was wondering, Zoe is Hoban's mother. How could you not see that? About the character of Jack, well, he's a mixed bag. You'll have to see how the series develops to know more about him, but I didn't intentionally want to make him a shifty character, but he seem to turn out like one. The second chapter was just about establishing the crew relationships. I wanted to show how they interacted on a daily level, but my priority was get straight to how they met Jack. Which, in fact, they won't do until chapter four. The third character was about the Tam's and Kaylee. Originally, I just wanted to get on with the plot, but I decided to give Simon and Kaylee a hard time from River because I wanted to show that she was quite upset with them. She was also bored (Memo: Don't make her angry). I wanted their relationship to affect the crew, and the way they percieve the two. I wanted them to understand it was more than just a fling. Jayne, being thick as a rock, did not. Next chapter, we'll meet Jack. What happens from then on, I don't know. **UPDATE** Chapter four up! Next chapter, we'll..well, You'll just have to find out! If you're going to leave feedback, give it a rating, too. Or something similar to that. **UPDATE** Chapter five up! Someone mentioned the Lord or The Rings secret diaries, which were hilarious. I did my own version for Mr. Cobb, during the Big Damn Movie. 'Tis fun. It's up now. Enjoy. Also, Nine Hells Dude? Mal lets a seventeen year-old mind-reading psychopath fly his ship. She's also a bit, you know, loopy. Sometimes she says stuff no one understands. To further the point, Mal is also a bit dense. Of course he let him on.

(Yup, I'm procrastinating. Told ya I would. :wink:) I don't know why, but I've got it in my head that I should take some Spring/Summer courses, if this semester wasn't hard enough. The advantage of taking some Spring/Summer stuff is that I wouldn't have to take so many courses during the regular year. Right now, I'm just trying to see what's available and what will fit with my degree. I'm sort of limited at this point in my program, plus the computer program that is supposed to show me what I need to take is really picky so stuff I've already taken isn't counting towards what I need (stupid Degree Navigator :bash:). But one thing I could take, and which really interests me, is the Creative Writing course the university offers. I've taken Creative Writing classes before back in high school and I really like writing. I also like the thought of earning credit for doing something I do when I should be studying anyway :biggrin: The only thing putting me off about taking it is the department's one requirement: A 20 page portfolio. :crap: The number of pages I have right now: 0. Well, maybe 6 if I count the two [i]Firefly[/i] fics I've written but I don't know if the professor/deciding person would consider it. But I could be wrong; the description says the portfolio is just for me to demonstrate my abilities to them. I suppose the content doesn't really matter. But this is a full year course, a two hour class at 7:00 at night no less. I don't know...

Thought it was time I added something here. Fic is in the pipe line, just not ready to set it off into the world yet. I adore Firefly. I am a reformed Joss Whedon fan, loved Buffy for years then decided I should grow up (at 25) thus passed the wilderness years. Till I fell in love with Firefly ... I guess you can't really kick the habit! I love my captain :kiss:

LOSIDEN
