Well, I'm back, but not for long, gotta to the little details of packing... then i'll be outta the world for a spell, and it'll probably be awhile before we get through the usual pleasantries before it's recognized we're bored enough for me to use the internet.

Rose, sorry about abandoning you! Sleep is important for us non-night shift folk.

Kill time... well... basically I kill time all the time playing stupid computer games with no meaning that I only occassionally find fun. Meh. My sisters tended to read a ton instead, it's a debate (ok, I'm the only one on my side) which is worse. Stupid computer games.

Lol, wish I could sleep anywhere, like for example, transatlantic flights. That'd be nice. O well, 36 hour day, here I come.

Oh my! I have never seen a thread so short! I must jump in headfirst and take advantage of this oppurtunity!!
I finished school yesterday for 6 whole weeks! WHOO! *Victory dance* and Munkyfest is coming up soon! (mental note to self: must buy tickets)

Killing time: depends on how long I have to kill. I can do this weird thing where I sit don't think about anything, then I'll sart agin, like two hours later, and be like: "woah, where did all time go?" I read a loads, or if its a long time, I'll watch a dvd.
I watched Serenity the other day, and as always, cried, and my sister, who was watching too, made fun of me, then laughed at poor Wash, so I told her she was dead inside and an insult fest ensued! Then I watched Serenity the pilot and came up with a great idea for a sort of sequel to my Operative fic.

Speaking of books, what book are you reading at the moment? Or, if you can think that far back, what are the last 3 books you read?
I read loads, when I'm on holiday, we're talking at least one adult book per day, and 2 teenage ones.

I love that sign! Pity It's not real, though I'm not sure if this one is or not...

Mine are: Pirates by Celia Rees, Blood Memory by Greg Iles and A Time to Kill, actually, that is good, because my favourite types of books are courtroom dramas, detevtive thrillers and period books where women rebel.

Enjoy your time off SBDB, i'll be across the Irish Sea from you for the next week.

Ah you crazy brits and your tiny vacations. (Nah, just kidding I know yours are more evenly spaced out.) The American summer vacation use to be near 3 months, but they've been shortening it on both sides, it's much closer to 2 now. Which is... lol, only 2 or 3 more weeks than you get. Damn you brits, always doing things smarterer. Love the brits!

hahaha! thanks Whitefall, love you too! Americans do entertainment a million times better than us. apart from the unbeatable Top Gear, i can't remember the last time I watch an English show. Its all reality.
In primary school, we got 5 weeks in the summer, and 2 weeks at whit, which was good, because we got to spend 2 weeks in Sark, but now, one week at whit, 6 in the summer. You crazy Americans and your great long holidays: my cousin lives over the pond and she gets 12 weeks in the summer!
Anywho, hope you have a great big fun time in Ireland!!!

So far it's great!

Read it awhile back.

While some of it is a bit outdated (Espenson has to restrain herself from talking about the movie, lol.) it's no less interesting. My favorite quote in a sick way is from the end of one of the essays, and goes something like this.

"If FOX hadn't canceled the show, we would not be eagerly awaiting the Firefly movie. Because the show would be beginning its fourth season."

Not exactly insightful, but damnit that one hurt.

P.S. Lol, never got where the "space hooker" phrase came from, but as it turns out, F** coined it in their trailers. Bastards.

Argh!! Damn you F**, Damn you too Hades!! 4th Season?? We could have found out what Book used to be, Things between Mal and Inara could have happened River could have got better without Miranda, Simon could have finally stopped offending Kaylee and there could have been mini crewmembers!
phhtt. Space Hooker. phhttt. Have you seen the F** trailer for Firefly on Youtube? there's a link for it on a recent thread, Its awful, Space Hooker for Inara and Mal was a "Space Cowboy" PHHHTTTT!

That's the trailer I meant.

Plus, I told you it hurt.
