You start using Firefly speak in the real world.

So I'm a coach for a girls volleyball team and we had a tournament this weekend. In one of the huddles I was encouraging the team, explaining some positional things blah blah blah. The whistle was blown to end the time out and I'm wrapping up and putting hands in the middle when I look at the girls and say "We shiny?"

The all looked at me like I was crazy. After the game asked me about it and I set about converting them to the 'verse.

So have you ever done anything like that? Do you find yourself using gorram or ruttin or shiny?

Saying "Shiny" once in a while isn't quite an obsession.

Just as long as you don't start naming your firearms "Vera" or the like...

Are you fong luh? I take it as my personally responsobility to learn as much talk in the verse as I can. The first step to getting people to convert is to get them already thinking firefly. The more I talk Firefly, the more people ask me about, and thus are actually intrested, in firefly. If they ask then they'll be far more open to learning the verse, and thats all Shiny to me. :)

Better, if instead of asking if they understand, you say - Dong Ma?

I know I had a dream or 2 which involved the Firefly 'verse. I think of ways to personalize my license plate, or some such. While I don't have the imagination as some folk here, I find myself thinking a fair amount about Firefly. Not sure why though, But it's all good.

Hey, a buddy of mine called up and left a voice mail... " Don't know these folks and don't much care to .They're whores I'm in! "

I use shiny all the time. I also relate anything and everything to Firefly/Serenity. And I can't stop thinking about it.

You think about Mal and crew all the time, and don't really like watching anything else.

You spend most of your time ( even time you are supposed to be doing something else!) right here at FFF.net, because this is home.

You say gorramnit and shiny all of the time, it's now second nature, AND the folks around you are imitating you and asking you where you got the cool new words ( thus leading to opportunities to convert folks into Browncoats!)

You ALWAYS say dong ma for understand.

Your desktop at home and at work is a pic of Mal or Serenity. And your screensavers are pics of Mal and Serenity too!

You play the DVD's at work for folks to see and maybe fall in love too!

You look for news of a sequel everyday and you are willing to buy DVD's and convert folks, because you love this 'verse so much.

No---me obsessed? Not much....

You start knitting tiny Jayne hats for next years Christmas tree, and they turn out so well, you decide to knit a little firefly bug, and that turns out shiny, so you knit a purple Fruiy Oaty octopus. But that doesn't turn out, so you keep trying until you get it right. And you decide to decorate a whole Christmas tree in little knit Firefly items...and its only January.

Yup, shiny and gorram are just words that pop out of my mouth now. So do various quotes from the show. The other day I told my boss "What you plan and what takes place ain't ever been exactly similar." I don't know if he caught the reference, but he was amused at the wording.

I wouldn't go as far as saying obsessive, but I play Dungeons and Dragons now with the theatre teacher, who is now a poker dealer here in Vegas, that got me into it, along with 3 other of her proior students. But anywho, whenever we can in our scenario we're playing, we always either quote Firefly/Serenity, some so minor some of us don't even pick up on it until 5 minutes after it's been said.

Last week, in a staff meeting, during a presentation in front of 200 people I used the word Gorrum by accident. The people there gave me an instant look of confusion, which made me suddenly aware that I used the wrong word with the wrong audience! I corrected myself and quickly moved on in the presentation. OMG! That was close!!!!!

I've found between Firefly and Battlestar Galactica, my language seems to be changing.

Words like Rutting, Gorrum, Shiny, Tasties, Pretties, and Frak have worked their way into my speech pattern.

Oh well! The power of televsion at work I suppose!

You know you're obsessed when...

Your boyfriend asks how your day was and quickly forbids you to say anything about Firefly/Serenity when you talk to him.

Your parents say, "Can we quote a movie OTHER than Serenity?" (The "we" in this case refers to me.)

You say "I'll be in my bunk" and everyone around you knows exaclty what you're talking about because you've explained the line to them, even though they haven't seen Firefly or Serenity.

You sing the song "Hero of Canton" as loud as you can--even when you're not in the shower.

You find out that your college professor is a Buffy/Joss fan so you go talk to her after class and confess how much you love Firefly.

You find that words like gorramnit, shiny, dong-ma, and expressions like man-ape-gone-wrong-thing
have slipped into your vernacular.

Someone says something and there's a Firefly/Serenity line that fits perfectly into the situation, so you say it and everyone looks at you like you're crazy.

The thing you think about most isn't boys, money, school, or work. It's, "when am I gonna get a chance to watch another episode," even though you've seen them all a gazillion times already.

Mostly, though, you know you're obsessed when your family, friends, and even you say that you are.

Wacky fun!

You know when you're obsessed when...

1. You go to Blockbusters and the like and put Serenity front and center on every gorram shelf and such so everyone can see it.

2. You go to a Virgin Megastore and watch Serenity on the TVs without the sound on and start quoting the movie to everyone nearby you(Like me)

And...

3. You start yelling out Chinese explitives in school and instead of asking people if they comprehend, you say Dong Ma(Once again, like me. Nearly said it to my sister.)

Jayne: Are you saying River's a witch?
Wash: Yes, Jayne, she's a witch. She's had congress with the Beast.
Jayne: She's in Congress?
Wash: How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious!

You know you're obsessed when... You realize that watching anything else other than Firefly/Serenity is almost entirely a waste of time. Everytime(very seldom!!) that I get to watch anything else or start watching something else ...I always end up thinking about Firefly/Serenity and saying to myself how blessed we browncoats are for having discovered this verse we got. There's nothing out there that comes close to how superior our crew... our ship... our stories... and our verse is or how much I love , adore and enjoy FIREFLY/SERENITY. As far as I'm concerned... There's Firefly/Serenity and then there's "everything else" and if I can help it... The rest of my life will have very little of "that everything else". I know I'm a hopeless case but Gorram it.... I'm proud of it and I love it!!!!!

I know I'm obsessed when...

1. I come home from work and immediately login to the boards. oh wait, first i have to get browncoat radio playing so the background is set.

2. instead of going on a normal vacation to the mountains or the beach, i ask my husband if we can go to a geekfest called dragoncon so i can listen to the cast talk. and because he knows what kind of fan i am, he says yes.

3. i volunteer to work the fanbooth at said dragoncon, go to the shindig by myself to mingle with browncoats, and have invested in different firefly shirts to wear every day.

4. If i'm going into any public location where i think a demographic might be interested in the verse, i wear the shirts as propaganda (going dancing, going to the mall, going to an art show...)

5. i bring serenity to my friend's new year's eve party to play in the background for propaganda.

6. i donate a set of the verse to the local libraries.

and all this goes without saying... getting friends to watch the episodes, using the lingo, going to the movie in the theatre 3 times, rewatching the dvds until i can say the lines before they do...

fanhood is fun!

My friends are like, "Okay, lets go see a movie. NO SARA WE ARE NOT WATCHING SERENITY AGAIN!"
Gorrammit. No, really, I have trouble working 'gorram' into stuff unless I'm by myself, but shiny is definitely overused, along with chinese phrases under my breath at people. I'm a regular moonbrain (use that, too). Also, too many 'ain'ts', and quoting the series and movie has become a regular for me. Anytime I can put something in, I will. I've used "I-I was weak" at least twice this week. Yesterday my dad made us all listen to the Firefly and Serenity soundtrack because I got the theme song stuck in his head, and he needed to listen to it again right away. I'm also prone to break out in The Hero of Canton everywhere. It's sooo fun being obsessive!

Do I quote Firefly without meaning to? All! The! Time! It's getting silly.

I taught English as a foreign language during the summer and used the TV show/movie premise to promote a discussion on the future of the English language. Interesting topic, and it helped get a bunch of English teachers going to see the movie :)

Still, I have a long history with Jossverse quotes. I quoted Buffy and Angel for years and no one had a clue what the heck I was on about. Some of my more infamous moments include:

1) Yelling "Numfar! Do the dance of joy!" at the top of my voice when the Irish soccar team equalised with Germany in a world cup match.

2) Shouting "Ha ha ha! Puny recepticle!" when I managed to hit a target with a tennis ball.

3) Saying "That was the most fun you could have without having any fun." after a particularly long and boring meeting.

Well, I have had pretty much all of my friends ask me to stop talking about it ALONG with my family. Now whenever I start they all glare or their eyes glaze over. *Sniff*

I've also now recruited 7 new people to Firefly and Serenity and am working on number 8. Which I figure is pretty damn good for a 15 year old in a town of 800 in south-eastern Minnesota.

But I know I'm obsessed because whenever some one says something that sounds remotely like a Firefly/Serenity line I have to stop whatever I'm doing until I can figure out where the quote is, what episode it's from (or if it's from the movie) and then say the line the correct way.
I did that during a basketball game with my friends. They didn't appreciate cause I had the ball and wouldn't give it to them till I knew where it was from. heeehee

And of course I use Firefly speech whenever possible. I get weird looks a lot too but I'm used to it. lol. *sigh* No one in my school understands. Which of course is why I spend so much time here.

If you hear the words "shindig, shiny, lion, alliance, independance, unification, leaf, etc." and your first thoughts go to Firefly, you're obsessed (one science video in class talked about the unification of scientific laws over and over, so I kept thinking about Firefly).

If Jayne immediately registers as a boy's name in your head.

If Wash is now a noun, not a verb in your mind.

If at the first party after you get your DVD you FORCE everyone to watch it. (

A salutary tale for you...

A couple of years ago my sister started saying "shiny". She's never seen a Firefly episode in her life; she'd evidently picked it up from some unrelated Browncoat. It drove me up the wall. I ended up literally wanting to smack her every time she used it.

I got the series in early January. I started saying "shiny" two days later.

My incredibly frenetic job involves, amongst many other things, typesetting accountancy course examinations and textbooks. I have Microsoft Word open from 9am to 5.30pm. When the company isn't crashing down around my ears, guess what I'm doing with it, children?

So many fanfics, so little time...
