ARE YOU AN OBSESSED WALLFLOWER FAN?
One of the things most commonly diagnosed in Wallflower Fans is obsession. Here
are some guidelines to see if you are an obsessed fan. If you present several
of these symptoms, you may need some assistance of another obsessed Wallflower
Fan to become more obsessed!!
You've gone out and desperately gotten bootlegs or whatever you can get your hands on that has songs you've never heard the Wallflowers play.
You take up drums.
You take months hunting for a Wallflower T-shirt at the mall
People at music stores automatically know what your looking for after asking them a million times if they had any Wallflower singles, imports, posters or T-shirts.
You get into heated arguements with whoever talks bad about The Wallflowers
You've left you Wallflowers' CD/cassette in the stereo for so long that
you can't remember how it looks like
You truly believe that there should be a law saying that it is illegal
for radio stations to NOT play The Wallflowers' songs, despite the fact
that it's an oldies station, country station, etc.
You now spell words with a 'k' instead of a 'c'
The bald look is in
Even teachers know who your favorite band is
Teachers threaten to lower your grade if you don't stop talking/writing
about The Wallflowers
The only words you can hand-write perfectly are: The Wallflowers, Mario
Calire, Rami Jaffee, Greg Richling, and Michael Ward
The only time you've ever gotten a passing grade on an essay was when
it was about The Wallflowers
You now only go shopping for milk when it's raining or when your city
is being attacked by a giant creature
You start to say "Guess who....." and your friends yell "The
Wallflowers" even before you finish your question (which doesn't even
have to have anything to do with The Wallflowers)
You get overly excited whenever you see a bald guy
You now refuse to buy clothes unless it's black, or unless you've seen
one of The Wallflowers wear it or something VERY similar to it (who
cares if it's for men?)
You bash one of the headlights on your car and hope that The
Wallflowers will have a sequel to "One Headlight" and will feature your
car
You own their CD(s).....but don't even own a CD player!
The list above was given to me by Fong Yee thanks!!
You have your screen saver say "Little Things Amuse Little Minds"
You shave your head like Mike's
You do the Jakob look!!
You do Rami's dance, mumble the words like Mario does, and bob your head like Greg
You can say "my favorite bands is" and everyone who knows you knows who
you mean!!
You prefer to listen to BDTH when it's less likely for someone to interrupt
In your e-mail address book there is a group labeled "Flowerheads"
You are offended that the Everclear CD and the 1st Wallflowers CD
spells "Jaffee" wrong
The fact that you couldn't figure out how to pronounce "Calire" at first
really irritated you!! ( I Vanessa for the longest time mispronounced Mario's
last name until I finally "saw the light"
The list above was given to me by Raven thanks girl!!
You begin to do Jakob's gestures as you sing along with songs (Me Vanessa hehe!!)
You would do anything to find a rare pic
of the band to either look at or put it on your page!! (like me Leigh!)
You have the "Official WF Shoes"(me!! Vanessa!! and proud of it!!)
You wake up in the middle of the night to record "Heroes" (That would be
me Vanessa hehe!!)
You've been kicked out of places for screaming and jumping up and down after
hearing a WF song
You have a pic of the guys in your wallet
You have the walls in your room filled so much with WF pics that you can't
remember what color the room was before you put them up
No one who knows you dares to say something bad about the WF's in fear of
being attacked by you
You enter a store and have no intention of buying anything but hang around
just to listen to a WF song that's on
Everytime you hear a WF song you have to hear it or it would be a sign of
disrespect to them
Everytime you see the words "wall" or "flower" you can't avoid but to
think of the guys
You actually spend time trying to see how many words you can make out of
the word "Wallflowers"
You wake up super quick in the middle of the night to hear a WF song that's
on the radio (uhm that would be me Vanessa again hehehe!!)
You think you have the power to tell when a WF song is on the radio
(hey it may sound crazy but I come pretty close to predicting when a
song is on the radio hehe!! ~Vanessa)
You have a box you call your "Wallflowers Fund" for the day you go to one
of their concerts
Your room is a total mess but Heaven forbid your WF stuff have a speck of
dirt on it!!
Somehow you always manage to use a song lyric or direct quote from one of
the band members in your everyday conversations
You fight with the DJ over the issue that they don't play the WF's very
often (I sort of did that once hehe!!~Vanessa)
You know the B-Day's of each WF but somehow you keep forgeting you mom and
dad's B-Day
You have a countdown as to how many days till the rumored release of their
3rd album
You begin to judge people on the basis of if they're a WF fan or not
You spend hours trying to decode WF songs (I Vanessa did this and came up with Reflections!)
You go hysterical when someone changes the station or lowers the volume
while your listening to a WF song
Your parents have told you bluntly that your one obsessed fool(me Vanessa
again!!)
A day can't pass without you listening to at least 1 WF song!!
Your in the shower and all of the sudden you hear "Heroes" is going to be
on and you without hesitation rush out of the shower, try to put your
clothes on and run to your room to record it!! ( I, Vanessa, did this
when "Heroes" was being played for the first time in Laredo. I was slipping
all over the place made a mess but hey ask me if it was worth it!!)
You make a webpage!!
You record their videos and every event that has to do with them.
You watch their videos over and over again to see all the details that may
have to do with the lives of the guys.
You now almost know everything about the guys including the shampoo they use!!
Most of your e-mail has something to do with The Wallflowers!!
You see the guys in your dreams!!
Everytime you see a car with one headlight you blurt out the lyrics from
"One Headlight!"
When you hear someone counting "1,2,3.." you remark Marlenas with
enthusiasm.
You have every Magazine article or video clip of the guys.
You seriously begin to consider taking up one of the instruments that The
Wallflowers use!
You hated to wear hats but after seeing Jakob wearing them you somehow changed
your mind about that!
Most of your conversations deal with The Wallflowers and your friends
hand you a card that contains the name of a therapist.
You know the lyrics to both of their CD's even though they didn't come with
the lyrics.
