I do not know if it is a good thing or not that many people know my source material. In fact I haven't seen it in any bookstores or libraries yet. A part of me is intrigued to know what happens in my future though. Do people think I should try and track the books down?

In other news though I'm thinking of finding something else to do with my time. I spend the majority of my time at work or at the ranch working on the garden with Hawke and I feel like I could be using my time for other things? I have visited the Zoo not long after getting here and that didn't appeal to me and I have never been a big shopper. I have gone Horse Riding a few times with Christopher Pike which was fun and I am thinking of doing it some more. There is nothing more relaxing than racing the wind, talking to a horse after a long hard day. At the same time I want something more. Does that make any sense?

(If you've talked to him a few times, you're in.)

A colleague at work dragged me out for a coffee after a close draw with someone's elbow lunging for my schnoz nose. Let me dispel images of me with a splint - I managed to duck out of the way just in time and I can breathe just fine. But since my past is hardly private, we got to discussing certain things over a non-fat latte.

First thing she asked me, was the possibility of Karofsky showing up in the Tower. That's a good question, isn't it? But I wouldn't mind. In the worst instance, I've got a door and I've got places to be, people I can hide behind. In the best case, we can both stare at men in the park and wonder how to hit them up. Yep. I'm being positive with my backspace button.

Blaine's engagement ring. No. That's not happening, not for as long as I can help it. I know very well that once I end back home, I might just take one look into those puppy dog eyes of his and blurt out 'yes' like a giggly school girl, but right here and now, I've been caught between somewhere rage and doubt. It's not happening as long as I'm here. Ryan Murphy can fuck my life up when I get back. I'll be happy to have my own hand in it for now.

It comes easily, being in love with the idea of someone or the idea of the perfect love that can stand through anything. Obviously, it didn't in my case. And it's probably not true for anyone, this idea. We're not Satine and Christian, belting 'come what may'. And that's okay. That's finally okay. I can't be responsible for what happens back home, but here, it's going to be a big fat no. He can go cheat on someone else. I'm being assertive without my backspace button. Those puppy dog eyes are not going to get me this time.

And I bought a second hand piano. I'm not going to allow myself to get rusty again and I'm going to put a picture of my mom right on top. On a doily. With a flower. Some furniture's going to have t ogo.

I didn't think this through, did I? Well, I was thinking about other things.

Since folk seem impatient to wait. Yes. Malcolm Reynolds is gone. The ranch ain't. I'm Zoe Washburne, Mal's second in command, and I'm takin it over in his stead. Any deal you had with Malcolm Reynolds, you'll have with me if you speak up on it.

And since it's been asked. There'll be a poker night next Friday night out at the Ranch. You need to hitch a ride, we got some. Same rules as always. 50 dollar buy in. We'll provide some drink, but more'd be appreciated. Got places to crash if you need to stay the night. We'll see how many tables we get.

I know this is a rutting hard blow. But now's the time we band together and move forward, cause that's the only direction there is.

I ain't yet willin to say that this was Malcolm Reynold's last stand on Earth-that-Was. Nearly all of us have gone and come back, and if there's a way for us to speed along gettin our boys and Inara back, I sure as hell mean to find it. And he ain't comin back to a fractured crew.

That said, like I said yesterday, everyone's safe so long as they're here and with crew. And I'm takin Mal and Inara's things, and I do suppose what we've been holdin of Jayne's and Wash's out to the Ranch where SHIELD can't get their hands on them. Case any more of us go back, we do the same. I also want to revisit movin us out to the ranch. Some folk here's passable, but I wouldn't miss the most of them. More, don't seem safe bein so close to the Tesseract

[Doc Brown]
I've been lookin into some of that equipment you wanted. Might be some time on some of it, but none of it seems too impossible.

When it's in, I'm gonna need you to make me a sign.

I don't like this Tesseract. It keeps taking people I care about. Today it took Captain Mal and Inara. I'm afraid that it's going to take Simon again. I thought we were safe here. All of us.


[Filter: Fiver]
Do you want to go for a walk or something? I need to get out of here for a while. And I need to see you so I can make sure you're still here.

[Filter: Simon]
I'm scared.

I'm not sure how many of you know but Hawke and I are planning to start growing our own vegetables out on the ranch Mal Reynolds has bought. A question though, if we were to grow our own wheat does anyone know how we could get access to a mill around here?

It's been awhile since I've seen you. How are things going for you?

I will never quite get used to the idea that there is someone walking around with my face. I don't know how those of you with twins in the Tower manage it.

I'm pretty certain we could look at least this good. What do you say to a trip to England?

Some place called Alder just opened. Got an invite to try it out. Ain't sure what a 'gastropub' is, but I do know what a pub is. You ladies want to give it a go? Can bring Lee if he's willin, Kaylee.
[End Filter]

Got the ranch up and runnin, ready to start receivin visitors for the summer. Any of you folk interested in comin out (if you ain't already for other reasons) to try your hand at farmin or ridin horses or feedin farm animals, shoot me a line and come on out. Ain't lookin to charge, but that don't mean I won't take no donations to maintainin the place.

Always willin to bring on folk wantin some full-time work too. Just remember it's an hour outside town and it's hard work if you ain't used to it.

I've been thinking a lot about what to do with myself in this world. I keep coming back to a conversation I had when I was young with an advisor. He told me that vocation was what you do when you can't imagine doing anything else. That's how I felt about Starfleet and why I've had difficulties here, in a world where that is fiction.

Luckily, horses still exist here and I've been hired on to help teach summer riding camp at the local stables where I ride in addition to teaching refugees. But that still leaves some free time and I've decided that even if it's fiction, I may go back to one of my academic interests - writing a history of Starfleet. I'm not sure there's a market for this, but at the least, it will be for personal edification - especially given the multiple Starfleet universes we have here. I don't have any of my notes here, but I do remember a fair bit of what I started researching.

[Starfleet - All universes]
So, we've had a bunch of new arrivals from our various universes recently, so I thought another weekend event might be good. I know it's short notice, but how about this sunday, June 9? Central Park or one of the local beaches? 1pm?

If everything pans out well with rehearsals, I'm going to be on Broadway.

If, if, if. I don't care about the ifs.

So, back home I used to eat meat. Even after I found I could communicate with animals I continued. I was a predator, just like many of my animal friends, and I didn't waste any kills. Things started to change when I learned how to turn into animals. Once I was being hunted in the skin of a creature I couldn't bring myself to eat their flesh. So, I was down to the basics. Chicken, beef, a lot of the more common meats I can find in the supermarkets here.

Recently I've been hearing about unsafe factory conditions and mistreatment of these animals and I'm really very concerned. I know there is a wealth of knowledge on the other end of my computer screen, but how much of it do I trust? Are the worst examples something that's par for the course when it comes to mass butchering in this world, or extreme cases just to shock the reader? I don't want to eat any meat if the animals are going to suffer like I'm afraid they might be. Even chickens don't deserve that.

I'm tempted to get a pet of some kind. I mean I don't like the term pet or keeping them as 'pets' but I feel like some company. Animals are just as alive and intelligent as we are after all.

Captain Reynolds & Hawke
Hello,

My name is Elspeth and I am a friend of Rivers. Another friend of mine and I are looking for a place to grow our own food and she suggested that you might have space available at your ranch? If that is the case I would like to perhaps discuss acquiring some of it to do so. You would be more than welcome to help yourself to some of my or our food in return.

Thank you,
Elspeth

  • I'll be gone tomorrow and friday, so my classes (Calculus, Military Tactics, Diplomacy, Hand to Hand) for those days are cancelled. If you have questions about anything, message me.

  • Starfleet picnic will be going ahead as scheduled on Saturday.




    The best part of having my 20 year old body back - being able to ride how I used to. Rode Bulletproof (the horse I bought) yesterday and today. She's amazing. I may be in love. An amazing jumper. Decided to have a bit of fun today at the stables - did some bareback jumping.
    video )
    It's not me in that video, but that gives you an idea. Jumped 1.2 meters bareback and spent time just galloping around the ring. To feel her underneath me and have my legs respond, it's incredible.

    Yesterday I ran 8 miles, today I did 10. Call me selfish, but I'm in no rush to get my other body back.

    Do I need to be taking my meds right now? Because I haven't and I feel fine. Better than fine.

    I'm kind of glad I haven't gotten caught up in this whole 'let's make people older or younger' thing because it'd be just my luck to be turned back to when I was a kid and believe me, I was a gawky looking kid. Skinny, all arms and legs and always covered in scrapes and bruises because I'd tripped over my own feet or been punched in the face for being a skinny fiesty smartmouth. Do you guys here have some story along the lines of the spindly ugly sapling turning into a beautiful tree with lovely flowers? Because I got that one a lot when I was a kid.

    Is there anyone who isn't excited about mundane prom, or am I the only one who plans on staying as far away from that as possible?

    Having seen several waves of people come and go from this place, I've come to the conclusion that there is no one I particularly care to see on the arrivals listing.
