sorry, the blody computer had a melt down and lost everything i was tryng to type uo above. let me try again.

how obsessed can your obsession be? Let me count the ways...
1)You got a necalice like Zoes tied permenetly around your neck. (guilty, but mine has a chram)
2)Words like gorram, rudden, and shiny make common apearences in your vocabulary.
3)You named you dog firefly and your goldfish serenity.
4)You got dinos, plasic ones, and they live...in This Land.
5)your favorite super soaker is named Vera
6)you are wary of hats made out of trees, and kissing girls on the lips...
7)You run around in tight pants and suspenders.
8)You say things like "Some people juggle gease!" when you need to explain things and wonder why people don't understand.
9)You take a chineese language course because you "want to be prepaired."

My obsession is very obsessed- Or something- I appear to be unable to have a conversation about television or DVD's without bringing up 'Firefly' - My best friend says I need therapy-Especially since I want a Jayne hat- When I get it, he claims he's having me officially committed-

He looked bigger when I couldn't see him.

I forgot to mention he bought the DVD's though, after I leant him mine, so he has no room to talk-

Not as bad as my last obsession, but still kinda bad. I've been renting nothing but Adam Baldwin movies for the last month.

With my last obsession I cut my hair, bleached it white and spent a fortune on a long leather trench, so as I said, since I have no intention of trying to grow a goatee, this one's really not quite as bad for me.

I think it's tempered by the fact that I have another obsession going on at the same time with Chirstian Kane coming back to Angel.

I dunno if it could actually be considered obsession, but at any point,I like to have the DVDs in the car with me when going to someone's house who hasn't seen it, then wait for the right moment and start raving on it during a conversation (it helps if you have a friend that loves the show too... you start popping off lines and he joins in) usually leading to a few looks of "what the hell are you talking about?"And the answer of course is to rant about this great show that used to be on TV.... hey, just happen to have the DVDs in the car, you'll love it! And a lot of the time, they do.Those that don't... well, never cottoned to much to them fellas anyway.Hell, it's a way spread the love.

You look better in red.

Well, I'd say I'm pretty far along with my obssession with all Joss Whedon shows. I have a tattoo that says "Slayer" with a stake in the background on my right upper arm. I want the Angel Inc. logo on the left. And to round it out, I want "You can't take the sky from me" in script across my upper back.

And yes, of course I have the dvd of Firefly, but who doesn't?

Lastly, my fiance and I are working on Mal and Kaylee costumes to wear when we go to the Balticon convention in Baltimore this year.

Does buying him a $40 pellet revolver count as an expensive obssessive prop? ha ha ha

If y'all think you have Firefly obsession, you have nothing on the gorram Greys. (Useful universal oath, isn't it?) Anyway, their obsession (which infects, at the moment, about ten percent of their total numbers, which is to say about a thousand Greys, and appears to be growing at rate warying between one point five and three percent per year...and not a single Grey actually hates Firefly, which is unusual considering every other obesession they have ever posessed has had at least a few die-hard anti-fans;) has led them to do some wild things; here are a few of the more memorable (and, thanks to the fact that all of these were done out of the public eye and the Greys have always bribed any reporter within a hundred miles to see nothin', hear nothin') Firefly-themed things they have done:

1) Using aroud seven million dollars in toto when all was said and done, they built several models of Serenity. Two were quite small, 1/100th scale and one about the size of a car, whatever the scale. There was another that was supposed to be 1/25, and the last was actually full-sized. The 1/25 and the car-sized model actually flew (not without trouble) and the full sized one was, for all intents and purposes, as near to a fully functional Serenity as one could get with current technology...although it had one main problem...despite all the effort that was and still is being thrown at it, they cannot get the damn thing to fly. I should mention, from personaly observation, that the interior is accurate down to the stains...all the stops were pulled out.

2) They had a barfight in a bar in some small, roughish town somewhere in the US (they wouldn't say where, but provided photos and video that proved they did) in authentic Firefly getups, and screaming something about how U-day sucks. Crazy SOBs.

3) They have the largest collection of perfect prop-replicas that anyone anywhere has ever had...and its almost entirely Firefly stuff. Costumes, guns, everything they can get the specs for, they have built.

4) Every year, on their rather large land holdings in Montana, all the Firefly Fan Greys get together on the date when they learned the show was cancelled and throw the biggest bash you have ever seen. The only thing missing are high-tech weapons scanners (which are pointless, every last one of them is armed to the teeth) and a floating chandelier. Although, I understand they are still trying to work up the nerve to invite the entire cast and crew of Firefly to this party, and maybe, someyear, they just might. Maybe.

That is obsessed. As for me, I stick with being a quiet, but dedicated, fan. Just thought I would share the extreme edge of the Firefly Fan Obsession Envelope with y'all. And to think they only tell me the half of the things they do...
