Jeremy,

I am in AWE of your love and dedication. And yes, your fantastic insanity.

But, as Aeryn Sun once said when someone once called Crichton insane

" Isn't it fun?"

- on the day the international trailer is released, all you can think about at work is getting home and downloading it. It is spankingly good!

- you drive home listening to U2's City of Blinding Lights, and when Bono sings the line 'A city lit by fireflies' you get an image of spaceships with butts all lit up hovering over the skyscrapers.

- you are still trying to find a way to get off work and go to the premiere, even though the tickets are long gone, and you have to work the next day, so you know it is impossible.

- you order comics online for the first time ever in your life.

- you get excited when you turn off your Firefly DVD and there on the TV is Carlos who played the fed in Serenity in some obscure film!

And these have all happened this week - scary!

[WashIsCute]

~when u call Mal,"Cap'n TightPants" (firko im talkin to u and me!!LOL)

you know you're an addict when you use rutten instead of the f bomb at work. not saying that i use the f bomb at work cause one of my bosses wife is on here. so if she sees this i do not use foul language at work, well sometimes.

When you tape the pilot episode from the sci-fi channel and keep it in your schoolbag in the hopes that you'll get the chance to lend it to someone - anyone!

When you adorn your school stationary with 'Firefly' and 'Serenity' labels.

When you spend an entire plane flight trying to convince the sci-fi fan next to you to watch 'Firefly'.

hey, second time posting here. (mostly post on the serenity official board)
I have to say after seeing jeremy's comment, that comment indicates great dedication, and because of superflans like him this movie would not have possible. I got late in the game, so i have to thank you.

Now nothing I say can compare to it, but here is my attempt:

~using one of the 11th hour posters(the mercenary one) as the msn picture

~everytime a new trailer comes out, putting the link to it in my msn name.

~spending almost half the day on msg boards, (i am wayyy to addicted, must get work done)
related question:
I just have to ask Jeremy, do you have a job or a business besides firefly? because it seems that all your time is taken up by firefly/serenity!

~buying for the first time in my life an item which I already own, the firefly box set.

~Getting pissed off in stores when I do not see firefly box set on the shelf(well its a mixed blessing, that its sold out, but that means that people might not see the shiney firefly box!)

~Buying for the first time in my life a comic, ie the serenity comic.

~proselytizing the awesomeness of firefly. ( I am hindu, and we do not proselytize)

~having that awesome image of the ship serenity above a planet as my wall paper

~first time actually belonging to a fandom (I like star trek, star wars etc... but I am not a hardcore fan)

~(related to point above) actually considering to dress up like a firefly character

~trying to organize a shindig of people I have never met in real life concerning a tv show!

~asking chinese friends what are the translations of various phrases on firefly (when i asked one about what ta me dah means, at first she didnt understand what I was saying, I was probably pronouncing it wrong, but after she realized what I was saying, she made a face)

Thats about it.

Great list.

[SheHulk]

[SheHulk]

Oh, and the dvds that Jeremy does are fantastic!

The Kill Count in Blade Trinity is my favorite. Pure genius on that one. Just thinking about it makes me smile. You, know, I still tell everyone to check it out.

[jeremy]

SheHulk,

Thanks. Did I show you that feature in person? If so you should remind me of when we met.

Hehehehehe! SheHulk = Christy

And I do believe that I'll be seeing you on Saturday.

[jeremy]

Oh, duh... Yes, I will indeed see you on Saturday. Looking forward to it actually.

So who's ideas was it for everybody on the internet to have aliases anyway? I'm bad enough remembering one name.

The aliases goes back to the early BBS days. I remember when I got my first PC, a Radio Shack 286 (let's not mention my VIC-20), and my 1200 baud modem, and logged onto my first BBS, it required you to create an account and asked for a "handle." The login also recommended you NOT use your real name to protect your privacy.

I think it may have been an early version of WWIV. Many of you were probably still playing Pong on your Ataris.
