We had another thread like this, but this is mostly for the flood of newbies:)

Are ya fixated; can't seem to watch anything else?
Are ya obsessed with this site?(who, me?)
Have you converted friends?
Is your Halloween costume one with a sidearm?
Have you found your favourite show of all time?
Do ya waste large amounts of cash on Buffy and/or Angel dvd's now?(so guilty...)
Is life worth living again?

All of the above?

Well, let's see now...

Does checking fanfiction.net every two hours or so in hopes of new stories count as obsession?

If I say I've officially fallen in love with Mal, does that make me a loser?

When my new motto (such as it is) comes from a Joss Whedon interview when he talks about Serenity being about "the right to be wrong", does that mean I've undeniably lost touch with reality?

So yes, I'd guess you could say that Firefly has changed me, at least a little.

I absolutely refuse to say it's my favorite show of all time. To do so would break my heart due to its untimely demise, and I just can't deal with that right now. So, I'm going with denial for the time being. If I hear anything even *remotely* resembling official buzz on a new movie and/or season, *then* I might consider revising my official position. In the meantime, I'll live somewhat happily amid a sea of self-delusion. We'll see how long that lasts...

My goodness.... you describe me to a T.

And I too am in love with Mal. "He's my hero."

Does it also count that the end music of the "Serenity Soundtrack" makes me ball like a baby?

"I aim to misbehave" - Mal.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Australia doesn't do Halloween, (but I'm gonna wear a summer dress and bare feet, with my hair loose and wild, does that count?) Yes. Already did that before I found Firefly. Yes.

I can find an appropriate Firefly quote and insert it into *any* conversation.

I'm not obsessed, I'm just intensely focused.

Strangely it strengthened my relationship with God, and brought me back to Christ after years of drunkeness and drug abuse (weed, speed, ecstacy, ...the works)

Yep, I'm celebrating my two-week anniversary of discovering Firefly...gosh, has it only been two weeks?

And like FollowMal, you also have me pegged. FollowMal, I'm right there with you on the falling in love with a fictional character/leading man you'll never date. Oh, and the bawling at the last four tracks of the BDM soundtrack. And may I add for myself desperately awaiting the Serenity DVD so that I can watch the deleted scenes and FINALLY get to SEE Mal and Inara be a little more demonstrative about the way they feel about each other instead of just reading every fanfic I can get my hands on to give them a future. Also trying to memorize every funny line from the series AND the commentary. And buying additional "loaner" sets of the Firefly DVD so that I don't have to part with mine. Oh, I could go on and on...

Sorry for all the runon sentences...great thread.

Firefly has made the rest of TV less interesting. Like someone else posted a while back, It's hard to watch a western without thinking, "this could use some spaceships." Nothing else I've seen before or since, has so many great things flawlessly interwoven. I'm Hopelessly "Focused". Don't get me wrong, there are a few things worth watching still on, but none that I just can't stand to miss. Joss and/or Tim need a show on the air Now! Need The Inside on DVD. and the rest of Buffy/Angel.

Firefly and Serenity have renewed my faith in television and movies. When I moved from my old apartment to the place I'm at now, I ditched my tv and cable service. I kept my cable internet though and my friend showed me how to steal, I mean borrow movies. But I haven't downloaded any cause they aren't worth the bandwidth.

However, Firefly and Serenity ARE worth the bandwidth. Not only that, but Firefly and Serenity are worth my hard earned american dollars. I bought the series and can't wait for the DVD. And even though I'm not a poster kind of guy, I'm going to buy the poster. And the soundtrack.

I'm sending a message to the studio: I love FF/Serenity. The only way they will get that message (sadly) is from money. They're kinda like Jayne crossed with the alliance. I've also turned my friends into brown coats, and they don't even like sci-fi. Guess what they're getting for xmas?

This has turned into a really long post. I feel like I should cite my sources and write a cover page.

OOooooh lol, it's all so true!
Please say hi to my sister Anita in Melbourne.

I am so pleased to see all these cheerful new threads working to re-focus on the positive (and the silly), which is where I like to hang my emotional/intentional hat, and take my shoes off at the door.

My interpretation of Joss' work includes delight in his ability to get me to think outside my work-a-day box to help create a better world in every encounter, no matter how trivial that encounter might seem. I find it easy to connect with the characters in FF, who worry the edges of their own limitations, living at the edge of their empire to create a kinder, gentler place to call home.

Crap, I'm sappy. Take me to a couple of Halloween parties and see what happens? Chocolate and beer induced fluffiness.
More Halloween tomorrow!
