This deffinetly isn't the greatest tale I've heard... or infact the best written, but it's true. What more would you want? :smile: So... here it is. How I came across firefly: I have only just fell in love with FireFly... now I know what you're thinking, [i]'Where's she been all this time?'[/i], [i]'Better late than never.'[/i] and my personal favourite [i]' How does she know what I'm thinking?'[/i] But don't worry I can explain and whether it's a good excuse or not, that's up to you but it's all I have. So... I first found out about FireFly from my sister when the DVD's had just came out. At this point I was actually quite a bit younger so I had next to no cash to go to the cinema with friends let alone buy a boxset of DVD's, so since I could not follow up this new found curiosity, FireFly soon drfited from my thoughts. That was until Serenity came out! But even then, as I'd still never seen the series, I found watching the film slightly confusing with questions like [i]'Why is this girl so important?'[/i], [i]'How did Simon and River get to be on the ship and why were they being thrown off now?'[/i] and [i]'Isn't Jayne a girls name?'[/i] running through my head. So even though the dialogue was good, the fight scenes were extraudinary (indeed that's what I remembered most about it later on) and the special effects were really quite special. I found I didn't have a relationship with the crew and didn't care if Wash or Book died. *gasp* [i]'Blahstphemy!'[/i] I know. So again, although I did overall like the film, I let it fade from memory. But now (2 years later), thanks to a brilliant friend (well, most of the time), I love it as much as it deserves to be. It's only coincidence (or fate, it depends how you look on things) that I came across it again as my friend was only really mentioning it in passing as he was telling me about a particular series that he can watch over and over again called..... firefly? Instantly I recognised the name and asked to borrow it. And, after using the puppy dogs eyes -that left in the wrong hands could be fatal- and some carefully practiced whinning, I had the discs in my DVD player and found by the second ep, after I'd orrigionally gotten over the initital shock of a space western and seeing Nathan in tight pants, I fell deeply and some what passionatly in love with the great show we have today. So much so, that after I'd finished the episodes in a week (I didn't want to rush them) I imidiatly bought Serenity and fell in love all over again and can now appreciate it of the fantastic film it is. So now I'm a complete FireFly fan and I am waiting, some what unpatiently and wishing, for the time FireFly will grace our screens once again. Sometimes I feel quite positive about it happening, especially when I read some of the casts interviews and realise just how much they all loved working together but other times, when I hear news that FOX owns FireFly's rights for 10 years and such, I can't help but feel a little downhearted. Hopefully, however there will be no need to be. How does that saying go again? Oh yeah [b]As long as they keep flying, we'll keep watching.[/b]... Isn't that the truth. :wink:

Yeah... Saturday marks my last day with a soul- clearly, the SATs' are designed to drain the victims willpower until it may suck out your soul through that damned signature and turn you into a mindless corporate zombie if you ain't careful. Just took SIX WEEKS worth of SAT prep at school... well, each Wednesday, at least. And throughout all of this, I have learned ONE very important thing: The folks who come up with this thing are absolute bastards. For example: Antecedent. No, this ain't a sub-species of aregeno, it's an actual word, which you just happen to HAVE to know. Yeah. So far, all I can do is replay "I Wish I had an Angel", by Nightwish... over and over again and again and again and again... One thing I know- don't stress. Cuz that's how they get your soul! -Danny

Yeah... So how do people do this thing? This school thing? Because I just tried to look through aims.edu and felt like my insides had been filled with hot lead and that something was trying to push its way out of my skull. The enormity of everything needing to be done is squishing me!!! Haaaaaaaaalp! *hides under her bed*

Posted this morning in Myspace Blog: Thursday, May 03, 2007 Current mood: hopeful So I'm sitting here this morning and between all the internal and external ponderings/conflict/self abuse I get to thinkin' about the barriers between me and my goals. It dawns on me, I have no extreme goals. No dreams. No agenda. Simple life seems to be a chosen path rather than a goal anymore. I am better than I ever was. I like myself. There are moments of doubt, but despair seems to wash away quickly in spite of the constant barrage of other peoples problems. And that is what keeps stabbin' at me. Other peoples problems. It ain't my fault families don't connect with each other, can't get along, or won't ask for help. I can offer only so much before having to dig deep for the last little bit of caring I have left. It's called compassion fatigue. It sucks. I'd like to use it as a reason for not moving on in life, but reasons and excuses can kiss my light brown ass. There ain't no reason in the 'verse for anyone to not move on in life, to try to be better than than they are, or to love themselves despite how much crap keeps getting dumped on their head. For those who know me, I've been down for a noticeable while. And I do have to thank so many for sticking around despite my inability to shine. But it seems I face a new challenge. The lack of willingness to shine. I've always wanted to be a person everyone gets along with. To be an unbudging mountain in terms of safety and happiness for those around me. But in doing that I have become someone who everyone can rely on. Someone everyone can look up to. Someone to trust. Sure, that sounds like a good way to be. But who can possibly focus their lives on other people and helping them feel better about themselves for this long? And who can possibly put up with everyone expecting you to be that mountain of support regardless of the personal cost? I know. Jesus Christ. But ya see, he is the son of god. Some would say he was not even completely human. I am. I want to love, hate, spit, cuss, kiss, fight, jump, run, fuck, walk, hug, punch, hold, long, fall, appreciate, touch, enjoy... That is human and I want it all. Currently listening : Social Distortion By Social Distortion Release date: By 12 March, 1990 ADD:Everyone MUST check this out.
