| * Your dad looks at the computer one day and yells for you to come "Get Rob's head off my wallpaper and cursor...and desktop icons...and close this picture! And why are all these pictures still laying here in the printer!" ...and then notices that you have 7 windows open and all of them are MB20 websites. * The only emails you get are from your MB20 fan clubs. * You become incredibly jealous anytime anyone refers to Rob using a pet name, especially "Chickadee" (your personal nickname for him). * You write a fanfic between him and your favorite TV character and people hate you because it's so mushy and stupid (I'm working on my fanfic!!!). * . You make your own Rob tee shirts and wear them as frequently as possible (Which I do). * . You see advertisements for Matchbox racing cars (you know, those little toy cars), scream, "MATCHBOX!" and run over. * . You name significant objects (i.e., a car, body part, etc.) after a matchbox twenty reference. * You have multiple copies of matchbox twenty cd's, posters, clothing, stickers...you know..."just in case". * You dream about it,you scream danm...because of the song, my family would scream if they heard me and dream of marrin' one of em'. * You write a really elaborate fan-fic where Rob and all the other Mb20 guys are a gang of super heroes that save the world -you give them superhuman force and powers apart from their own superhuman cuteness, voices, and the capacity to create music. * You dump batman, spiderman, superman and all the other comics -along with your brothers'- because if you sit down staring at a blank wall you can see the matchsticks jumping and fighting the "bad guys" from other bands that you hate like (I won't give examples) as in an action movie. * Every time you see "Push" on a door handle, you just can't stop singing. * You've got special folders or binders dedicated to the band containing your laminated concert tickets, pictures, a list of every song the band has ever sung, and a paper covered with the words Matchbox Twenty written in every multi-colored gel pen that you own. * You're in the process of making a poster that says: "(Band member) can I have your guitar pic/drum stick?" since your parents threw away the one asking Rob to give you his shirt. * Every time you go to Starbucks, you tell them your name is "Rob". You continue to do it eventhough you get countless weird looks from the cashiers because they have never heard of a girl named "Rob"... * You actually try to imagine Rob doing a cover of a song you're listening to on the radio. "Don't be fooled from the rocks that I got, I'm still...I'm still...Robbie from the block..." * You rarely call in sick, but are more than happy to pretend that you're on your death bed in order to watch them on some television appearance or concert. * You actually feel guilty making personal, back-up copies of mb20 CDs, feeling you should just buy another one to keep in the car, and another one to keep at home, and one for the garage, and one for the kitchen, and one for the... * You took your mom to a MB20 concert and not only converted her but are forever connected in MB20 obsession. Not to mention the fact that she now calls the MB20 hotline everyday!! (This one's for you mom!!!!) |
