That was very firefly-esque. I will have to borrow that one

I was talking to my guy as were driving somewhere and I said something like:

"That don't make much reason to do it that way"

I covered my mouth and said...I need to stop watching so much firefly...and my mom would roast me if she heard me talk like that....

Thanks, CMS. I used to be champion storyteller in the SCA.

I have recently started both a livejournal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/fithelere iirc)

and spirituality blog (http://www.neopaganthoughts.blogspot.com).

There's not much there yet, but there will be in time.

Funny! I love Jacks of all trade. I consider myself to be a bit of a Jill of all trades. Though I couldn't claim as many accomplishments as your friend.

You tell amusing stories Cedric. You should tell them more often!

Hey, CMSerenity,

We must know different Trees. My friend is only six foot something. He does look a lot like a tree, though--very lanky, with a single waist-length dreadlock, from which he periodically pulls leaves and pine needles. No kidding.

He's also the kind of omnicompetent person I could see doing well in the 'verse: He's a builder, salvager, sound engineer, percussionist, electrician, plumber, and drum maker. Perhaps his biggest flaw is to believe that he knows how to do everything, rather than just 90% of everything. When my next door neighbor gave birth at her place in the woods--accompanied only by her four- and two-year-old daughters--we asked why she hadn't called Tree. (He was the only one of our friends in the neighborhood.) She replied, "I didn't want him to come over and tell me I was doing it wrong!"

A few hours later, when I got there to check on her, Tree did come by, and his first comment was, "Elisa, you should be in bed, not walking around." :-)

But we all love him anyway.

That's great! Very Firefly-esque.
You know, I knew a guy named Tree. He was 7'2".

If I don't use that, I'm gonna hand it off to the math teacher next door to me!

I like it. I may just borrow that one.
