| * You have covered your five subject note book for school with matchbox 20 pictures you printer off the internet * You read through all the obsession signs, count how many you have experienced, then look through and realize that all the ones that you haven't experienced don't apply to you (ex. you can't get IMs from peeps you don't know asking you questions cuz you don't have IM) * People you don't even know at school (or work) can tell you how many MB20 shirts you have & how many times a day you pull out your program book. * You look at all your bookcovers and they are almost covered by the words "I love Matchbox 20" * You have spent over $30 ordering back issues of Circus Magazine so as not to miss those gorgeous full-page pics you've heard so much about. * You wear out the black ink cartridge on your printer printing stills from the Long Day vid since you can't see it on TV! * You don't talk to your best friend for three days because she slept (yes folks, she actually SLEPT!) through the concert you fought to get tix for. * Watching Rob saying Happy birthday to Video Hits (Aussie equvilant to MTV) 1000th episode over and over again because of course you taped it hoping MB20 would be on it. You also watch it everytime before you leave the house and at least 5 times before going to bed each night (submitted by Nicole Habib, who drove 12 HOURS to another state to go to a Matchbox 20 concert! Wow!) * You don't talk to your best friend for a week, becuase when rated with Rob on the name love thingy, she scored higher than you did! * You fall asleep with your radio on and when a matchbox20 song comes on you wake up and start singing. * When you have to write "to", "two" or "too" you write 2, just like it the title of Back 2 Good * You go to a concert and cheer at anything that Rob says (of course, this may not mean your obsessed, but that your drunk or on something..but I digress). Here's and example...an actual quote from Rob: "I need a beverage." Some possible responses for the guys in the audience may be: "YEAH, Rob's thirsty! Your the MAN, Rob!!" Girls may respond similarly, but add their own kinky twist to it, such as: "Woohoo Rob's thirsty! Rob, I'd quench your thirst anytime" * When you go to write "Math Homework," you accidentally put "Match Homework" since you're used to writing Matchbox20 all over your notebooks. * You begin refering to the Rumors Tribute as, "that Fleetwood Match cd." * You don't even find it strange anymore when the band does strange things, such as Kyle humping Rob's leg on TRL. * You stay in the discussion forum on the official site for longer than twelve hours straight, in the hopes that someone from the band will appear. * You go to another CONTINENT solely for the purpose of seeing matchbox twenty in concert! * You go broke going to a store buying things just because the guy that works there reminds you of one of the Matchbox guys. * In every CD store you go in (or store that happens to sell Cds..and..other..crap...) you arrange the Matchbox Twenty Cd to cover all the surrounding Cds. For example: at an HMV in Massachusetts the entire "M" section is covered with Mad Season Cds...now how did all those cds get there? ::looking innocent:: ::walks away whistling:: Oh yeah..and that happened at Borders..and Wal*Mart...and Newbury Comics..and Strawberries..and at a Target in Florida..and Walden Books! My goodness!!! There seems to be a masked avenger moving all of the Matchbox Cds...oh damn... * You bring a sign to their concert apologizing for the fact that some nasty son of a you-know-what stole Adam's guitar. * You feel guilty that it was stolen, even though you had nothing to do with it..(what will he think of all his fans!?) *. You repeatedly tell the new keyboard player (Ben) that you love him, even though during the concert you couldn't remember his name to save your life. And he responds. * . You beg for Kyle to throw his shirt and/or sweaty towel to you * . You pick up Kyle's discarded cigarette butt * Attending one of Matchbox Twenty's concerts turns into the equivalent of a religious experience *. You disregard all manners of common courtesy when SPRINTING to the front of general admissions. (Hey, if they get in your way that's THEIR problem!) |
