Ahhh... Back from the wilds of Fort Lauderdale, where, with the luck of Teela Brown, the Virgo Goat (

), and an incredibly receptive audience, we ROCKED the house!!

There won't be any audio from this one, but as soon as I have the pics - from the band leader's camera this time - I'll get them up. I'll probably even include the ones from the first gig... no really!

In other happy news, we sounded pretty good (started a little shaky, but pulled it out and finished with a bang!), I had an absolute blast, and - those who cry at really cool/good/happy things will want to get their hankies out - I got PAID to do this!!!

(Y'all probably guessed this, but it's a bit of a life long dream of mine to sing professionally... So getting paid - even $20 - was HUGE... Okay, girl, stop cryin' already, folks at work think you're weird enough as it is!)

*shiny happy dance of elation*

Needless to say, I am quite tired and shagged out after my long squawk

, but in a really great way. Since I've been nailed to my perch, I'm gonna go get some work out of the way, then catch up on the RP.

By they way, I really want to thank you guys for all being so supportive of me sound unheard - y'all are the best!

Ahhh Astri, no one deserves it more than you, sweetness!!

And since I've not said it for a while, the new OOC gives me the chance--I LOVE YOU GUYS!! This RP has been a source of great joy for me...thanks to everyone who's been a part of it, everyone who's read it, and everyone who plans on RPing in the future!

Yeah, I think there WAS a Mal that looked like me once, now that I reckon it! Anyhow, I missed y'all as well, Ciara, and it's good to be back for a while.

Hello, all! Had a moment to pop on and see what's up.

Sorry if Kaylee seems so melancholy in my post. I thought it would be interesting to see her really concerned about something...not quite so chipper. I can always turn her around, though, if the consesus is to not mess with her.

Hope all is well with you folks. Should we try to arrange an RP movie premiere somewhere next year?

Sounds like a freakin' plan to me! St. Louis is in the center of everyone...lots of hotel rooms & a nice theatre close by...heh.

Hey, all, I updated Damon's biography on the biography thread. A lot of it is stuff most of you may already know from the flashbacks I've written but it probably fills some holes that are no doubt missing in the bigger picture.

that was a delightfully twisted post Decoy. I enjoyed reading it very much.

I have a general question. I have been reading the RP thread, and I got to the big damn mega-chat post and saw that Book had been given a few jobs to do. To make sure I got it right.... Jayne and I are going to be snipers at the drop? Also I think I was supposed to do something else, which slips my mind at the moment. Could someone who knows what I need to be doing specifically for the drop, refresh me on particulars? I am having fun trying to come up with new stuff, but I want to make sure I keep up with the main story line and also try to ignite some conflict in some side storylines.

I do. Had intended to have it revised and sent on last week, but school didn't let it happen.

Good News: I'm working on it right now. If no one else minds, I'm correcting universal spelling errors because if I don't, my skull will split open.

Bad News: It looks like part of the Mega Chat was pasted in twice. I'm currently going through line by line to remove duplicate entries. This may have been why Ciara was so confuzzled by it.

So Astri has it and Merz is next.

OK, I'll give my Asst DireKtor a job - Merz/Debs go ahead and play nexus for the distrubution.

In other words who ever has finished their additions or edits, please send the MegaC.doc back to tampa.cyberose@verizon.net

Deb will check it and 'bold' anything that I need to see and work with in the final editing. She will send the working copy MegaC.doc to the next on the list.

And around it goes - Debs acting as the co-ordinator of the distribution of MegaC.doc.

I would like to thank Channain HUGELY for cleaning up and 'progression edit" of the MegaC.doc!

One helluva job she did!!!

Rowan perceived Inara's secret about Mal.

Interlude? Interlu...OH! Would that be the giganimous well-written parts of the RP that I have to save for night-table reading because they very seldom apply to Rowan and it's all I can do to read the posts that do so I can respond and keep her in the loop?

Yeah, that would be the one.
