You name your kitten Kaylee.
You use "shiny" and all other Firefly lingo, and people no longer have to ask "What's that from?"
You are here daily.
People don't even have to ask what you want for Christmas.
You have given marriage advice by quoting Firefly.
You have used the statement "You don't fix faith it fixes you." giving proper credit, from a pulpit in a youth service.
You hear a song and wonder what "video clips" would go well with it.
Every time you go to E-bay the first thing you type is Firefly Memerobilia.
You suddenly have a greater love for the brown coat you never used to wear.
You don't know any Chinese but when you get mad you let loose with a bunch of nonsense sounds, and people realize what you're doing.
You read fanfic to keep your fix.
You write fanfic to keep your fix.
You see those civil war figures by GI Joe and say, "Ya know with a little modification...."
You get a bigger harddrive just so you can fit all the epps on the computer.
Don't even start me on the wav files & wallpapers.
You can't eat any fruit without wishing Kaylee was there to share.
You think to yourself, "If we lived in an Alternate Verse, Saffron would be a good person, but she would still do all that bad stuff, but I'm good so then I would be bad cause there is an Alternate Verse and we could share a Special Hell together, or would it be heaven and not so much special, Or would I still be stuck being bad, because I used to be good. Goramm it there has to be a way to make it work!!!!!
Work was over 10 minutes ago and you're still here typing these, just because they give you some type of closer bond with people who are just as off their nut over this show as you are. And that's OK. in fact it's Shiny.

Awwwwwwww.... Feelin' da loooooove!
I got another one:
In self-defense/Karate class, you employ this useful a bit of sports psychology: You visualize your kick connecting with your opponent's body, and him flying through the air, right into the jet engine. Goal!

I just argued for almost an hour this morning with my boss because I wanted him to let us name our new company kitten River. It would fit her perfectly too. She has dark hair, big eyes, and we found her nearly frozen in a box outside.

^Does she spout oddly appropriate "meows" at opportune moments?
Anyway....
--When you spend most of your time on The Trek BBS, but you're not talking about Star Trek, but about something far shinier.
--When those basher fools on AICN make you tremble with suppressed rage.
--When you've begun slow but steady work on a Firefly game, because living out the life of Malcolm Reynolds is your lifelong dream.

When you can relate anything, and I mean anything, back to Firefly.
When this ability to relate anything back to Firefly is not something you need to consciously activate, but just happens because your brain has been hijacked.
When you can answer 95% of all questions posed to you with quotes or paraphrases from Firefly. (Extra points if you can acheive this with quotes or paraphrases from one character.)
When you not only understand every single thing River says but can see the deeper philisophical meanings in it and apply it to your life. (i.e. Looking at the pile of clothing on the floor in your room that your mother has insisted that you clean and calmy telling her: "They're just objects, they don't mean what you think.")

Or Simon. Mainly because he decided to come home with me and didn't know what the hell he was getting himself into. Not to mention he's EXTREMELY shuai

Now that's what I call Shiny. Was at the fair this wekend had a custom Lic Plate frame made it says, "I'D RATHER BE WATCHING FIREFLY" My wife just rolled her eyes. I then went to a poster vendor and asked if he had any Firefly stuff. He said no, we only carry stuff from the big name shows like Star Wars & Star Trek. I couldn't help but think "just you wait & see." Enough said for now.

If I could find a way to make my own bumper stickers, I'd stick that on my car!
I'm joining this discussion late, but here are more. (All true.)
You plan to buy as many copies of the Firefly DVD as you can afford to pass out as Christmas presents.
Your 3 year old daughter knows the words to the Firefly theme song because you watch the show so gorram much.
She says Firefly is her favorite song.
You spend all your free time making a Firefly quotation database to send out quotations with your emails.

I've decided to keep this one going, because I think this is what it's turned into...
On the radio this morning, the song "True Companion" by Marc Cohn. The introduction pulled me in, because it has a bluesy folk style to it, then the lyrics started twisting into a ridiculously romantic music video featuring Mal and Inara.
This is why I have deemed myself under the influence of a henious disease. Do I want a cure? No, not particularly.
from "True Companion" by Marc Cohn
Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel, and sometimes I'm cruel
And when it comes to love, I'm just another fool
