Firefly made me do it.

I grew up in Georgia. Twice, my Baptist-Pentecostal family owned chickens. When I was three years old I fell in love with Johnny Cash and professed my intention to grow up and marry a cowboy. There's more, but it's just odd. I spent years learning how to reattach the "g's" to my word endings and making "isn't" my default negative to-be verb. It took some doing to train myself to say "about to," as in "I'm about to go to the store" instead of "fixin' to go to the store." The only time I reverted back to my original tongue was during family gatherings.
Then I saw Firefly.
You know, one reason I connect with that show is, it just feels like home. The characters remind me of people I've known, or might know. They remind me of parts of myself.
But when you catch yourself saying "Gorram backbirth!" in traffic a lot, you know you're hopeless. Or when you get real nervous in the pharmacy because it looks like Alliance territory, that's pretty much it.
I can't watch the "Wash incident" without holding somebody's hand. How's that for hopeless?

You know, if some car company came out with a model 03-K64, I would so buy one.
Even if it didn't have a standard radeon accelerator core.

Even if it had a Capissen 38 engine?

I don't disagree on any particular point.

I think it's even worse when you know other browncoats in "real life". I'm good friends with another browncoat (also a poster here) and every conversation we have just dissolves into a mishmash of firefly quotes and dialogue. We get very odd looks when we're out in Public together.
She teases me for wearing eastern/Inara style clothing. I tease her for wearing lots of brown and decorating her locker at work the way Kaylee decorated the door to her room. Does that make us weird?

No, that makes me wanna date the two of you.
One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Now that I'm finally able to sit down and go through all of the new Battlestar Galactica in order, I'm mixing my metaphors horribly.
Yesterday my boss called me to ASK me if I would PLEASE agree to changing my work pool around so I'd be working for two hospitals at once instead of mostly just one, and all I could think of was Starbuck dressing down Apollo because he was being too nice... that he can just TELL people what to do and they have to do it. I gave her the toned-down, no-sci-fi talk version of Starbuck's rant.

I think I'd enjoy rummaging through your closet.
I love it too. Nothing like a nice silk salwar lengha to make a girl feel gorgeous.____________________________________________________
