Well are you? I'm saying this because another thread had me thinking. There were no big screening in my area. There was a screening 100 miles away which isn't that far to go. I just was busy and had a few things to do. After I finished we went to town ( the wife and I) and I wore my Serenity "T" shirt.
No one came up to me. No one said a thing about "Serenity Day" and there were no long lines at the mall stores with S/FF goods in folks hands being bought.
My wife giggled at me a bit (shes a FF fan too just not like me) and my youngest son laughed at me when we arrived home when he got a look at my Serenity shirt (I've had it for 2 months, he just noticed). So am I a FF/S geek?
If I am then "SO BE IT". I will wear the title with pride. I will pan out the words of the FF/series nomatter who knows what the gorram hell I'm talking about.
What of you? Do you mind having Firefly geek attached to your name? Are you ready for FF persecution ( which could mean impalement like Wash in Serenity)? Or are you going to wimper down and stay quietlike?
The choice is yours.
YES, I am a FF/S geek.

If you are, I certainly am. I frightened people at the screening with the accuracy of my quoting.
I've always been some kind of geek or other, though. I'm well used to it.

I'm a Browncoat and damn proud of it. Won't ever quit being one either.
I wore my Serenity tee under my work smock all day yesterday and although I didn't get any comments, I hope that seeing the logo might make someone who is in a video store or Wal Mart or in a comics store take notice. It might make them look twice at the DVD, comic or even the tees themselves in Hot Topic.
I have 11th Hour's posters ( both small and larger! the small ones work great to hand out with my work's tickets!) in my office hanging and to be handed out. They work great!
I pepper my speech everyday with Fireflyisms and I get some strange looks and my daughter sometimes rolls her eyes at me, but I don't care.. being a Browncoat is a way of life for me.
I'm not going to change. One of the quotes I read here, not too long after arriving was " I bleed brown now." It's true for me.
I'm not going anywhere... I'm holdin' til Mal gets back. 
So that makes me a Big Damn FF/S geek.

I couldn't get to a screening or to the store to buy another copy of Serenity or Firefly, but my speech was a lot more Firefly/Serenity like than usual, and that's sayin' a lot! I quote Firefly or Serenity almost 24/7. I bought a few Firefly T-shirts before Serenity was in theaters for the first time, and have tried to convince my parents that it's okay to wear them daily!

My drivers license expired on my birthday, that being this past Friday, June 23rd. I took the day off to celebrate said bday, as is my want, and spent a couple hours at the DMV to get my new license. I wore my SN/EN tshirt with the Austin listing on the back, the screening of which I had attended with great relish the previous evening, along with a sold-out show of like-minded Browncoats and their friends. I stood in line, got my photo taken, handed over my $26, and left feeling inordinately proud. I was tickled that the alignment of these dates would allow me to look at the new photo on my drivers license and remember my 44th birthday, FF/S, the friends I've made on FFF.net, Joss and all the BDHs.
The new license doesn't expire until 2012.
Am I a FF/S geek? You decide.
