No, not about a tv show.

Well, okay, the post is *kind of* about a tv show, just not the one called 'The L word'.

In a round about way, it's about Firefly.

Anyways, the point of this entirely pointless post is this...

When referring to this site, I have the most annoying habit of calling it Firefly Flans dot net.

My fiance makes merciless fun of me.

Anthony: What are you doing?
Jacqui: Just checking firefly flans dot net.
Anthony: Oh, really?
Jacqui: Shut up.

There's always an extra L and it really annoys me. Does anyone else have this problem, or am I just a little bit to the far side of tweaked?

It's not like it's a tongue twister or anything. It's in my first language. I *should* be able to say it right.

But, alas, I cannot. I am forever doomed to refer to us as pastries (Heee. Angel: "Stop calling me pastries!").

Did anyone actually finish reading to the end of this post, or should I just get more sleep?

yes, I do it all the time, too. But my husband does it, TOO, so it is just normal. We don't laugh at each other. I just gave up; it is too much of a tongue-twister to me. So....I won't laugh at you. (if that makes you feel better)

No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people; they've all got stories.

atually, if u listen to the signal, u will find out that many people do it. its now an official term; a flan is a firefly fan.

Even Nathan Fillion does it so it has to be official. But everyone knew that right?

Whoa whoa whoa. slow down loose cannon. let's not jump the gun. You're still a freak, it's just that, well, so's everyone else. It's why I love this place. To quote Marillion, from the song "Freaks":
"All the best freaks are here, all the best freaks are here
Please stop staring at me "

And from the song "Seperated Out" the following sound clip from the 1930's Tod Browning film, "freaks":

"We didn't lie to you, folks. We told you we had living, breathing, monstrosities. You'll laugh at them, shudder at them, and yet, but for the accident of birth, you might be even as they are. They did not ask to be brought into the world, but into the world they came. Their code is a law unto themselves. Offend one, and you offend them all!"

and the song itself:
"Am I enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see
Am I enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see "

Your Freak,
JadeHand

"I wanted to say hi to you Firefly flans out there. You flans are the best flans an actor could ever hope for. Keep being good flans!"
-- Nathan Fillion

Anyone got a working link to that video, anyway?
