Everyone should be a fan of John Sheppard :D. (And yet, there are those who aren't. It's strange.)
I hope I'm not becoming annoying with all my questions, but um - what things did your friend think you were reading too much into, and how come? *re-reads your post* - Okay, I just had to delete four paragraphs of rambling over-analysis, but. The part where he decides he and Teyla need new outfits. It didn't quite make sense to me either, but now I'm thinking it might have something to do with him wanting to take all familiar things out of the equation. Teyla would be wearing something she normally wouldn't wear, he would be wearing something he normally wouldn't wear (going by what we've seen of his clothes so far, and he seemed pretty uncomfortable in the jacket in that scene where Ford appeared with the pizzas), and he might've figured that without those superficially familiar things sort of subconsciously reassuring him that everything was normal, he'd find it easier to focus on everything that felt wrong to him.
...Possibly I'm reading way too much into things, here. :S
About the many personal items - I love the idea of Sheppard and the rest carefully hiding their extra personal items in all sorts of crazy places. And then sneaking out of the First Night Here And We're Still Alive, Yay! celebration to retrieve them, possibly falling over others with the same idea on the way. *is easily amused*
