So I have been on best rest the past several days (still am if you want to get technical). Was in a pretty bad car accident the other day. Head on collision. Pretty gruesome sight. Don't think I will ever be able to wash the image of looking up andseeing my friend's bloody and broken face. Then seeing the blood drip from my own onto the rest of my body. Talk about something powerful. We are both still living though so that's good right? Except for the fact that while my friend's wounds were superficial, mine run a little deeper. I recently had LASIK surgery (you know the one where they use lazers to correct your vision), and was not suposed to have an severe head trauma for four weeks. I had not quite reached the four week marker when the accident happened. My vision was amazing, the first time I have seen without glasses (and my eyes were bad too) since first grade. It was amazing. Until the other day when a quick blow to the head rederered my right eye almost useless. I can take the burns on my arms, the cuts on my face and hands, and the pains in my chest, back, and neck, but the eye hits me where it hurts. They also tell me that if I am not careful, I might not see out of it again. I am not allowed to move back to school until the doctor releases me. Just lay here and be helpless. I know I shouldn't even me online right now, but a person can only lay down so long. Plus, I missed you guys. I know I will make it through though. And I also know that people have it worse than me so I am trying not to complain. Just wanted to tell my short story to someone else so maybe they could look at it and see that maybe a problem they are going through might not be so trivial and it might help them to sit down and find a solution. So happy travels guys. Until I return... TheShepard

So Pretty Fits has been read 497 times and is rated at 9. WHoo Hoo! I'm seriously doing the happy dance...I look dorky and very white...but I'm doing it all the same. I'm working on chapter eight now and I swear I just keep getting more and more excited the more I write. I wonder if KRAD reads fanfic? Okay, that was me blowing my own horn...but it's just so purdy...sqeeee...off to write more!

Ok people I'm new to all of this. One I'm new to Firefly I got the box set for christmas because I loved Serenity the movie so much. Two I'm knew to being excited about a show enought to join a fansite. Firefly to me is one of the greatest Scifi shows ever made. The cast is amazing and the writing in the show is more then amazing. I never really liked much scifi beyond star wars. I'm not down with star trek, farescape or shows like that. Firfly is different everything looks lived in and used and it doesn't deal with weird aliens. Plus I love westerns. Captain Mal is one of my favorite fictional characters and for me that says alot.

i went to the movies with my family several months ago. we were going to see "the greatest game ever played" with shia lebouef. we got to the theater, bought our tickets, entered and took our seats, but to our dismay discovered that they (the seats) were wet. when we asked theater staff why, they told us that theater had been "hosed down" earlier that day. why they were selling tickets to a wet theater i'll never know. we asked for our money back, but we really wanted to see a movie. we'd driven a ways out for it, and didn't really feel like just going home. we then remembered another movie my brother had recommended to us, called "Serenity." we had our tickets switched to that theater, and went in. it was awesome. something definately worth freaking out over... but i was kind of tired of everything at the time... jaded, is the word. so while i recognized that at any other time i would've gone crazy and fangirled like mad over it... i didn't. it sat on the back of my brain for months, then jeff, my brother, illegally downloaded the dvd. we watched it and i remembered how awesome it was, and though i wasn't quite ready to fangirl it yet... i was starting to head down that path. i already knew it came from a tv show (Firefly), but didn't care enough to go looking for it. i had already checked all the video rental stores in town, and was pretty much over it. THEN, i got a video iPod, a source of much greif of late, but nevermind. in attempt to make light of the iPod fiasco I uploaded the serenity dvd to the little bugger, and then got a brilliant idea. i knew i would be leaving on a trip two days later, and any entertainment i could bring along would be VERY useful, so i started downloading the tv-show. unfortunately, it didn't download in time for me to bring it with me, but after i got back (several hours after i got back) it FINALLY downloaded, and i started to watch. by then i'd gone on two airplane rides, and had watched the movie five or six times in a row. i was already smitten with it. if i liked the movie... (loved it after a fashion) ...there are no words for how i felt about the tv show. it was... IS wonderful. shortly after watching the entire series straight through without breaks except for sleep and food, i went to the store to buy myself a legal copy and support the cause. but i couldn't find it.... [i]anywhere[/i]. i'm convinced that my hometown is bent against it. i came home with a copy of Serenity, but not the thing i really wanted, and immediately went online to buy it direct. now that i've done my part for the dvd sales, i figure the only way to continue the work is to convert as many of these surfer town yokels, and bring firefly to the heathens.

For the first time in my ancient life, I've decided to go to a SciFi convention. What prompted me to this, was of course, the mention in the blurbs of Firefly and Serenity. So I'm going to Conjure in Brisbane on the Easter weekend. Anyone else going?

OK So firstly I'm hoping *all* Brown-coats have done their duty in voting for Serenity in the Empire poll for 2005. If you haven't go now, don't read the rest of this just *do it* Ok so whether you have or haven't I have a request of all of the fans of our favorite merc. Why should Nathan Fillion get best actor? I mean I love our captain tight-pants too, he does do great work. But at the same time I believe Adam Baldwin desrves a nomination (at least)! So I *urge* all the Jayne fans, to go and get voting for Adam as best actor. He deserves our devotions people!! Alright that's that out of the way now I want to write some other stuff. Firstly I've decided to scrap the series that I'm writing on here. It just isn't ringing right for me, but I'm working on a new thing it will just take a good long while. My move to Canada is taking longer than I wanted it to. It sucks because my beloved is there and I want to be there too. I'm missing him start his first day of college. :disappointed: Also just a question but how many Australian fans are members of ff.net?
