Yes I am a Firefly/Serenity geek, though I believe the actual term is "Browncoat".

Who cares if I spend most of my time my time reading Firefly fanfiction? Who cares if no one understands me when I say "shiny" or "gorram"? And who cares if I'm going to put myself into debt trying to get out to DragonCon, just to see some of our BDH's?

We Browncoats wear our geekiness with pride!

"Geeks" are just another group of people, like Hip-Hop wannabes, or goths, or punks. It's a cultural phenomenon. We need not hide our geekiness.
I remember times when I was considered a geek just for using that new thing called the "internet", where apparently only people with no life dwelled.
Now you're last century if you don't have internet access at home, or even on your cell phone.

And the shiny thing is, you can be anything AND a geek!
Besides, looking at the football fans during the world championship here, I'm starting to wonder how anyone could dare to laugh at me for wearing a Jayne hat in public. Which, admittedly, I haven't done yet. Mainly because it's too small for my huge-brain-accomodating head.

The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!
September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

Goodmorning all ye browncoats,

When the question was asked (by me) about ppl following FF/Serenity to the point of geekiness I want everyone to understand that it wasn't a bad thing. I think most folks here got that. If some didn't well now they know What I ment was, "geeky pride". Lets face it we all know ppl that are not like ourselves and never will be. In many cases thats a good thing. But we have many friends and relitives that will never view FF/Serenity with the joy that we do either. I feel that when an individual gets to the point where they become less conserned about what others think (considering anything special to themselves), well that may be when we reach the point of geekisom to some.

So really at the forum here I am with many like minded borwncoats. Outside the forum I still spout my VERSITIES and don't care if I'm viewed as a FF/S nut. Because I am.

peace,Z

Morning, Z!
I hope my post didn't come across as defensive; those were just my thoughts on the matter.
I'm an out-of-the-closet-geek and enjoying every second of it.

I've always said that I bleed brown, but in my case I was refering to coca cola running thru my veins. Now it means something extra special!

AGATSU, nope. No offense taken

I agree with your post. Glad that you took the time to put it up.

I only wanted to make the starting post of the thread a little more clear. Didn't want someone to read it and get the wrong idea.

see ya,Z

I was, for the first time, called a sci fi geek yesterday. So I asked the person who called me that did you mean Serenity Geek? She said yeah whatever. I said "thank you."

"And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community."

I wear my 1 of 4 serenity shirts everychance I get. My favorite is a blue one made for one of the original screenings. I got it on ebay. I have car stickers too. I have a firefly sticker on my work montitor as well as a Dear Buddha sticker. When I do certain things on my computer is plays "fruity oaty bar".

If I am a "geek" so be it. Better a geek than a fool!

I have no t-shirts, though I would love a Jayne one (with a Jayne in it, but that's another thread...)

However, I do have a brown coat. And a neat little pair of heeled boots to go with it. Now I am looking for a brown hat to go with the outfit. This is not a costume. It's just my normal wear - I had it before I was 'Fly'd. So getting the box set at Xmas and suddenly finding where I was supposed to be - a gorram epiphany, people.

I make up mandarin swearing to amuse myself.

And I want a sword like the Operative. The one I have isn't quite as...shiny. (This is also something I owned pre-FF.)

I dunno if I'm a geek. Maybe I'm just scary.
