You Know You Watch Too Much Firefly When by PaxAlexa

When you've spent two hours with Nokia Composer getting 'Fruity Oaty Bars' just right.

When you come up with a perfectly logical argument for the boss to allow the wearing of sidearms at all times.

When you seriously consider buying $130. lace-up boots (and actually order them and try them on once or twice before coming to your senses and sending them back!)

When you wish you could have more pets so you could name them 'Firefly' names.

When you find yourself thinking "I wonder when the new season will start" before.... remembering.

When asked to create a pre-test for the English department, you use Firefly charactor and actor names for all the sentences.

Gotta ask though, "I have a B.S. in Criminal Psychology, a B.S. in Medieval European History" How did that come about? (the B.S. in Special Education makes perfect sense coming from a Browncoat, and either of the other two individually I can grasp; it's the combination I'm having trouble with.)

You think Hero of Canton is an acceptable karaoke song
You sing the Ballad of Serenity as a lullaby to your baby.
You wanna be king of Londinium (because that would be an interesting title)
Pink dresses with frills excite you.
Slinky dresses excite you more.
You'd rather go barefoot.

I teach computer software apps in middle school and have started a video club for the kids to learn animation. I wasn't really into animation but was doing it because the kids are really into it. The program they are using has a western motif in it and one of the preanimated people looks like Captain Mal Reynolds. So now I'm hooked and will be trying to create a mini firefly scene.

I am learning a new skill just to bring my favorite character to life for a couple of seconds.

Please! Nobody died last time!

Too much to maybe other's views, but not to us. ;)

You know you've watched too much Firefly when anything anybody says reminds you of it in some way, shape, or form.

i.e., my friend mentioned going back to school, and I remembered the comparison to coming back to Serenity by the cast at Wizard World to going back to school. ^___^;

Alan Tudyk is in 28 Days (and Patch Adams, and A Knight's Tale and Dodgeball). And Adam Baldwin is in Poseidon (the second one... I think, and also Idependence Day). There are, of course many other movies that various members of the cast are in.

You know you watch too much Firefly when...
You have Jungle training in Japan and you bring your lap top so that you can have a "Firefly marathon" in the middle of the night while sitting in the mud with a poncho above you so that your lap top won't get wet (because it is raining while everyone is sitting around watching it). No we did not get any sleep that night, yes we were all dragging ass and falling off cliffs the next day, and yes we were all sad when my battery for my lap top died :(
