Ways you know you're obsessed with
...

• You stay up 'til 4 am making a "ways you know you're obsessed list".

• Your normal daily routine includes over an hour of watching the sacred "Savaged Video" - a collection of every Savage Garden TV item you've EVER seen on TV.

• You own every piece of sheet music ever released, even though you can't carry a tune in a bucket and don't play any instruments.

• The second time zone on your watch shows what time it is wherever the Guys are.

• There is a huge road map of the U.S. and Canada on your wall tracing the "moon" tour from city to city, complete with dates and concert venues marked with push pins and flags.

• You carry pictures of Darren and Daniel with you at all times.

• The pictures are in a locket you never remove from your presence.

• You constantly wear black or black and white and absolutely REFUSE to wear ANYTHING gold because you've never seen the guys wearing gold.

• You send a bomb to MTV's FANatic cleverly disguised as a video tape because you didn't get picked as Savage Garden's #1 fan OR because you never knew about the contest in the FIRST PLACE, UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE!!!

• During conversations you turn everything the other person says into a Savage Garden quote. Example;
  person: (at a restaurant) "I'd like fries on the side..."
  you: "...with a cherry on top, you're sleek velvet, gold lame'....huh? I didn't say anything..."

• You douse yourself in "Fendi" or "Chanel No. 5", because they're Dan's favorites even though they give you hives and migrane headaches.

• You can't go longer than three hours without hearing a Savage Garden song before serious withdrawal symptoms set in...five hours and there is permanent damage!

• You're conditioned to dash to the phone every time you hear touch-tones on the radio, thinking they're still giving away concert tickets.

• You let out an ear-piercing shriek whenever anyone turns off a Savage Garden song, then beat them with the nearest blunt object until unconscious.

• You had your concert ticket stub laminated and you wear it around your neck constantly, flashing it at passersby and shouting "I SAW THEM LIVE!!!"

• You walk into any music store in your county; all the staff know you and say "sorry, NO new Savage Garden stuff" before you even ask.

• You never washed your concert attire, nor do you ever plan to wear it again, with the exception of another S.G. concert.

• Anytime someone says "Cherry coke/cola" you look at them menacingly and say "SWEET like a chica-CHERRY-cola!"

• You have ALL your S.G. memorabilia arranged in a shrine that NO ONE may touch.

• There are candles constantly lit in/on/near the shrine.

• You call up radio stations screaming that " 'To the Moon & Back' is NOT their third single - it WAS THE SECOND SINGLE, SO GET IT RIGHT!!!"

• You've been thrown out of bookstores and magazine aisles statewide for spending hours combing the monthly mags for the slightest mention of Savage Garden.

• You celebrate the anniversary of your S.G. concert, Darren and Daniel's birthdays, and the original album release dates, but you can't remember your family's birthdays or for that matter, your own!

• You have named plants/pets/stuffed animals/children, etc. Darren, Daniel, Daz, Dan, or Stanley.

• You have a "Savage Fund" for CD's, T-Shirts, etc., but you have no money to buy food.

• Your friends have unanimously voted you "Savage Spice".
