That someone was me. I'm glad to see someone run with the idea of doing one of these for an original character.

thanks! all is much appreciated...

Oh really! Shoot! Heheee. I thought it was from Kaylee! Ack! At any rate... it got me thinking... would you want to put this on community threads (under humor) and see if we can't encourage people to answer as their fav. character (and how they would)?

I thought it was such a GREAT idea of yours.... I feel you should initiate it. If you do, let me know. I'll clean up my response (as in... make sure it's from the right person) and such. Hehee. Totally love the idea Bellona. You done good. :D
