Were you all Sci-Fi fans before Firefly?

I've always liked Sci-fi, but I haven't really paid it any special attention. I watched Star Wars, and read Heinlein, but I also watched a ton of other action and drama movies and read many other genres, including fantasy. TV-wise, I watched Sliders, X-files, and Futurama, but mostly other random stuff. Dark Angel was the first show I was a fan of, but Firefly totally outstrips it. When DA was cancelled it was like "Too bad, that was an awesome show." With Firefly it was like losing a good friend. So I guess I wasn't before, but I still don't think I'm a huge fan of sci-fi.

Oooooh yeah.
But Firefly is the first to make me wish I could have been an actor so I could have been on the show or in the movie:)
The first specific SF/Fantasy book I remember reading is The Hobbitin elementary school; Heilein's The Door Into Summer not long after. After that, I think I ready pretty much any and everything in the SF/F section of the Denver Public Library. Now, I'm looking for a good story and interesting characters, regardless of the genre; SF just seems to have a lot of what I'm looking for.
TV-wise, I got hooked on "Dr. Who" at a
young age. My key was to get my mom hooked too, so there was no question of what got videotaped. We watch ST on re-runs, but our next big love was Blake's 7. Now I enjoy "Farscape" and "B5" and "BtVS" and "AtS".
Loved the first SW movie; loved, loved, love "Buckaroo Banzai" (cannot believe it came out 20 years ago...aaaaaiiiieeeee!), Bladerunner and a bunch of others.
I've been going to conventions for years, but more the fan-run ones than the pro. But man, I wish I'd made it to ComicCon. Will be at WorldCon this year; hope to run into some of you there.
All my life I wanted to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific.

Well, I guess you could say that I've been a sci-fi fan for a long time. Though I've never been a very devoted fan of anything in my life. I have never really been to any Cons, collected anything or anything like that. I guess I'm interested in way too wide range of things to concentrate on anything like that.
But yeah, I like science fiction. Perhaps for my tendencies it should be considered as a part of a wider range of interests that are a bit "out there". Like mythology, magic, horror, fantasy, alternate histories, comics (They're making a Sin City movie! Yay!), quantum physics...
