| * You make friendly with security guys named Stan "the Man" and Troy, and manage to eat some of Troy's tangerine...because you never know how much energy you will need at a concert..You might have to jump the barrier or something! * You are so thirsty during the concert that you beg one of Matchbox Twenty's security for his water..and then save the bottle, which you still have today! * You're at the concert and you're reaching for one of the band members...Who cares if you're in row 65? You're a tall individual. * You inform your friends that, yeah, they're great and you like them...but when the time comes to run for the front row...they're on their own...Matchbox Twenty is thicker than water! (get it!?..blood is thicker than water..yes, this is your cue to laugh) * When you're bored in your car ( that means you're not listening to any Matchbox 20 material) you start searching for license plates with the initials of the matchsticker's names: RT, PD, AG, KC and BY ( I found a license plate RT1972 and I took a picture of it but someone stole my picture!) * You decide that, no, I am not going to take pictures at the concert because my attention should be devoted to the band at all times. * You refuse to allow security to bring a visually disabled person into front of you because they COULD HAVE STOOD in line but they didn't..so TOUGH!!!! WANNA MAKE SOMETHIN' OF IT?!(yeah, we know we're going to hell..but, it was worth it) * The band's not on stage for five minutes before you start crying with happiness. * Every other sentence you utter is "I can't wait until they come back." * Before the concert, you start shaking before you've even left for the venue. * You barge into a classroom, demanding that your friends leave RIGHT NOW because you want to make it to the Matchbox Twenty concert at least four hours early. * You refuse to say the word "kept" any other way except how Rob says it in "Last Beautiful Girl." (That pronunciation would be: "kep") * You get mad at Rob (only for a second) when he says kep the "real" way. (Well, I sang it correctly.) * You refuse to move away from the tour bus area until the event staff threatens you with charges of tresspassing. * You have your father pretend to be security so that you can possibly get closer to the boys. * Once they do kick you out, you hide in your car with the tinted windows up and duck every time a security car passes by. * You wait until the event staff and security leave, and then you decide that the boys must be gone already...so you can go home now. * You tell every single person you meet (including a hairstylist, math teacher, and driver's ed instructor) all about your concert experience. * You spend over $260 on over-priced merchandise. (Hey! You never know when you might need an extra Matchbox Twenty mousepad!) * You saved that money for months in anticipation of a chance to spend it all on merchandise. * It's been almost two months...and you're still wearing your general admission bracelet from your matchbox twenty concert (IT WILL NEVER COME OFF). * You're with your significant other, and make him/her guess which MB20 song you're thinking about. * I feel my life won't be complete until I've seen MB20 live, big problem since they rarely visit Sweden..! * Someone asks you who matchbox twenty is and one of the other members of your family responds immediately, because they're so used to listening to you give the schpiel that they have it memorized (it's happened!). * People in the chat room you frequent have your schpiel on matchbox twenty memorized.(also happened!) * You once tried to see how many times you could say "Rob" in a sentence without stopping and have counted...1053 (truth!). * You've tried to speak using MB20 lyrics (unfortunately, I have |
