Hey, everyone, my name's Berna and I'm new to the site. Certainly not new to Firefly though. xP

Well, some stuff about me. I'm fifteen years old as of August 21st, I'm a freshman in highschool (physics and geometry, what could bring one greater joy?), and I learned about Firefly the very day Serenity came out.

I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. The underground movement suddenly gets a big break thing, specifically. Storm Large, Platinum Grit, and then Firefly. Love everything about it - the down to earth take on it, the interesting linguistics, and the horribly written Chinese Dong ma is actually either "ting dong mama" or "ting dong bo dong". Ntt to mentiont the horrible mispronunciation of "xiexie"...

It's more endearing then anything. The plot is intricate, nothing less then what I'd expect of Our Lord And Master Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy among other things. It's also the first show in which I liked every single main and supporting character.

Oh, and another thing about me...I like to ramble on.

xP Oh well, it's late, I'm tired from practice, just saw Snakes on a Plane which is both ridiculous and awesome, and I decided to join.

Ni hao ma?

And out of control
She ran away
At thirteen years old
But she had her feet on the ground
And nobody pushed her around

Yup, in your case sooner.

Great to have you here!

Mmmmmmmmm, strawberries...

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with them. - Gautama Siddharta

Hellohello, Deadnumbat! Although I find people that are fascinated with the horror that is mathematics suspicious, you seem to be a shiny gal, and I welcome you.

Oh, and Happy Belated Birthday, too!

The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!

September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

Howdy, deadnumbat! Welcome to our corner of the 'verse. That new coat looks right shiny on you!

Let me offer you a beverage of your choice.

Root beer is good for toasts.

Huh. Physics and geometry in the same year? I did that, too. Problem was, the math in physics is calculus. I was the only one in class that wasn't taking calculus (being a year younger than the rest) and had a heck of a time understanding what was what. Teacher was a git. If ya don't get something, make sure the teacher explains it to your satification, not his or hers.

Oh, you may notice, I'm a bit of a rambler myself.

Oh and yer welcome in the 'Not at Dragon*Con' Party thread. It's for all of us not at the convention, which is where a number of folks have taken themselves off to this weekend.

Hello, hello! I see everyone has already provided shiny emotes, so all I can say is this: It's awesome that you've decided to become a member of this 'verse!
