Is it weird to still have a Jossverse shrine at 31?

I have all my BUFFY, ANGEL, FIREFLY and SERENITY DVD's seperated from all others...on top of an entertainment center in my bedroom I bought just to be able to set them up like this. With them is a special "Once More With Feeling" DVD I bought off Ebay before the DVD's of that season came out, the "Why BUFFY Matters" book, the "Finding Serenity" book, "Done the Impossible" DVD, "Joss Whedon: Master at Play" DVD (introduction by Nathan Fillion), and two pics of Joss right in front of everything, one of which features a line of his about him creating BUFFY to be an icon, to be loved the way most shows can't be loved--which I laminated myself because I "needed" it.
I have many, many other things (books, calendars, magazines, posters, CDs, etc.), most of which I stored away because of lack of space.

I find this more disturbing than having a "whedon shrine" at 31.
I wouldn't say arranging your dvds in this way weird at all.

On the "plus" side, I sold my Buffy and Angel action figures for $275 last year! Mostly because I needed the cash. The other stuff I no longer have up, but I still can't bear to part with it (like the "Once More With Feeling" full-size poster) even though I have no space for them.

I hope not. I'm pushing 42 and my Serenifly shrine takes up an entire bookshelf. And things are still hidden behind other things.

Ok, I'm glad to hear the consensus is that this is perfectly sane and normal behavior... cuz I am 50 and my Serenifly collection takes up three book shelves beside my desk and I have figures and dinos across the top of my desk with the model of Serenity in the middle.
My office is now decorated ( it's messy so it's hard to tell that this is the intention ) Chinese style with lanterns, dragons and fans on the wall. My bamboo plant takes up one whole corner of the top of my desk. 
I also have my beloved little Buddha from B3 in a place of honor right in front of me. Every computer I own has Mal as the wallpaper. I am literally surrounded as I type by Firefly/Serenity.
My to do list for the 'Verse is longer than my to do list for my house.
So.. obsessed..? Naw..Firefly is life and happiness.

There, right there, the example of the term FAN(atic). I have my Firefly DVD's mixed up with lots of different DVD's, and I think my one of my brothers has my Serenity movie. I guesse I've never been that hardcore for Whedon. Although I'd love me the Serenity figurine for the Xmas tree.

I really hope not considering today is my 31st birthday! I am not upset about turing 31 today, but if someone tells me I have to give up my love of all things Joss then maybe I should be sad! :)

I also forgot to mention that I also have with my DVD's, the original BUFFY movie DVD and the VHS of the unaired BUFFY pilot, also bought on Ebay.
