A/N: Just before I posted this, I noticed the whole Kaylee journal thing, so I decided to alter this a bit.. This is mainly River Tam's view of each member on Serenity, how she feels about him or her, and why. So that means that there will be about nine more chapters to come?

                Life on Serenity is but a glamorous palace compared to where I had been previously. Although Simon's decision angered me, I know I will one day thank him -- or maybe not. Everyone on this ship thinks I'm just an idiotic, worthless being. Well, not everyone…

                The legal hooker Inara, whom would have to be my favorite passenger aboard this so-called ship. She acknowledges my presence; unlike the man they call Jayne. How I hate that name, isn't it usually used for woman? If my mind serves me correctly...

                                I am getting carried away with myself, dear diary...

                Diary. What a word. Isn't that what ditzy girls use for their little pink journals in which they write secrets about their love lives, friends and such? Ugh. Perhaps I shall just call you log. Dear log.... Hmm...

                This log seems to be a place I can often get away to, considering no one ever need my services -- with anything.  I haven't a clue to why I keep my thoughts in these pages when they could so easily be stored in my mind, but, maybe someone, some day, somewhere, will come across this log and take a look at it's contents...

                So, in these pages, I suppose I could put my thoughts on the passengers of this ship so anyone who journeys upon it after my death will know what they're dealing with... Whom shall I start with...?
