So we all are fans of Fleetwood Mac. Besides this band, what are you a die hard, extreme fan of? You can mention anything. Other bands or singers, TV shows, food, places, hobbies, sports, anything!

I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd, Queen, Donna Summer, Pet Shop Boys, but Fleetwood Mac of course is above of all them.

I'm a fan of oriental food, specially chinese and thai.

And I'm a die hard traveler. I love to see new places, or visit again interesting cities.

I love wine. Merlot and Malbec are my favorite red wines.

I love Disney World. In spite of crowds, long lines, the high cost, I've been there 8 times and it will be 9 times in 2 weeks (for a peruvian fan that's a lot I think).

And I'm a crazy photographer. During the days of photo films cameras I need to control myself, cause it was more expensive to take lot of pictures, plus you weren't sure it was a good take until you develop. But now in the digital era, I can take "tons" of pictures, I've lot of GBS of photo archives.

I'm a die hard fan of horror movies. I will have to admit that. It's one of my guilty pleasures. I am a die hard fan of music. Although I am not die hard for any one band or singer or actor or anything like that. I like a ton of different movies and music.

As my username suggest, I'm a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, Dark Shadows, and Lucille Ball. After that it goes to ER, wrestling, classic TV shows, Donald Duck, and 70's/80's music. :cool:

I am pretty obsessed with water... I live to swim, and just be near water. Lakes, rivers, springs, oceans, I love them all! I need to set aside some money to finally get my scuba license this summer; I've wanted to do since I was a small child.

Other than that, I'm a lifelong enthusiast of DeLorean cars. I've owned 2 of them, but haven't had one in several years now. I hope to buy another some day!

I'm a reformed super crazy Hanson fan. I still love them, but not to the obsessive levels that I used to.

I love reptiles. Snakes, lizards, turtles, the whole nine yards. Studying biology now in hopes of possibly landing some sort of a job involving herpetology (study of reptiles and amphibians).

I also am a huge Harry Potter geek.

And I want to marry/be best friends with Jennifer Lawrence... so there's that.

Well, you know I'm a big fan of Supertramp, Simply Red and Jamiroquai. Even when I love lot of bands, they were the first I met, and I still have some cassettes!! I completed their discographies, and I have some rare recordings too. And well, I love music from 70s and 80s.

I'm a fan of sports, especially, Soccer, Tennis, and Formula One.
- From Tennis, my favourite players are obviously Master Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Juan Martín del Potro and David Nalbandian (both from Argentina! :blob2:). From all time, Agassi, Sampras, Vilas, Safin and Hewitt.
- From Soccer, my fav team is River Plate from Argentina, but I'm a huge fan of Barcelona (Spain), Manchester United, Swansea and Stoke (England). My favourite players, well...of course Messi! And many others
- From F1, my fav teams are Ferrari, Lotus, the old Sauber and McLaren. My favourite drivers, from the past and present, Mark Webber, Jarno Trulli, Master Schumacher, my idol Juan Manuel Fangio, Eddie Irvine, Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Räikkonen, Jean Alesi and many others.

I love dogs, not only mine! I love all the dogs, of all ages, races and sizes. They're so especial for me, they're really good friends.

I love History, and I love to read books about the First World War and the Second World War, the history between 15th Century and the first half of the 20th Century. I love arts, and I'm a fan of the Renaissance, Baroque and Impressionism.

I'm maybe the Fan No. 1 of Elizabeth Gillies from Victorious and Malese Jow from The Vampire Diaries. I really love and support them!!

I really like the silent movies, especially from France and Germany. I'm a fan of Metropolis (1927), and obviously the starring, Brigitte Helm. But, I also love films like Casablanca and Gone with the wind!

And, I'm a huge fan of PIZZA!!!!! Wow, I love food, but the pizza is definitely my favourite. I love you, pizza!! :thumbsup:

I love lots of music. Other than FM/Lindsey, I am a major fan of Daryl Hall/John Oates.
I love to read. I don't watch a lot of tv, but The Simpsons has been my fave show for the whole time it has been on. I also love video games!

The Simpsons has been my fave show for the whole time it has been on.

Any time I've ever been at someone's house and was forced to watch this because they couldn't focus on a conversation while this was on, felt like a show that would never end and commercials that would never arrive.

Fan of:

Armond White (who is also my friend and mentor and hero)
Pet Shop Boys (my signature band)
Billy Mackenzie/The Associates (At one point I had every bit of sound he ever recorded and released, including haunting vocals on other artists work--but as is often the case with me, once I completed my collection I kinda lost track of it all)
Isabelle Adjani (currently I have a rule that I only buy/keep my dvds directed by master filmmakers or gay films or movies not available on netflix, but I also have a section for Isabelle Adjani movies :o )


p.s. the rest of my movie collection is for sale...

I am a fan of many things. Some of my favorites:

Plants and gardening. I've been intrigued by plants since I was a kid. While interest goes up and down it's always there - my focus right now is vegetable gardening, though most of my gardening past has been more ornamental or houseplant focused. I really love HGTV, but certainly do wish they would put more emphasis on the Garden part of their moniker. I get the most excited about unusual heirloom color variations, like yellow podded peas or red carrots or purple brussels sprouts.

I *love* beer. And wine, but I am unabashedly snooty when it comes to both. When it's up to me, I only drink wines from Spain or Argentina, and only varieties that are endemic. So, while I love tempranillo and malbec, you won't catch me drinking a Spanish merlot or an Argentinian chardonnay. Interestingly, the malbec grape is French in origin, though almost exclusively grown for wine in Argentina. I'm more open when it comes to beer, but it has to be craft beer and it has to be brown in color - none of that mass market yellow pilsner swill that dominates the palate of many American beer drinkers. I like porters, stouts, black ales and nut browns or scottish ales the most. I buy beer and/or wine almost every single Friday on my way home from work.

I am a fan of books. Anne Rice & Clive Barker are my favorite fiction authors, though I love books by dozens of writers. I especially love non-fiction books about science or history. There's a picture of John Waters circulating on Facebook, at a desk surrounded by books with a quote that says something like "If you go home with someone and they don't have any books, don't fu*k them." I completely agree - book collections are the sign of an intelligent, open, and independent mind, and *that's* sexy.

For a long time, I was a huge fan of Transformers. They were my favorite childhood toys and I still follow the franchise through blogs and fansites, though it's been a long time since I've bought a toy robot. Michael Bay and his unholy union with Hasbro ruined them for me, turning them from affable robots disguised as cars, planes and trucks, into hideous metallic alieny-robot-things that look like monsters.

Punctuality is one of things I am a big fan of. It might very well be one of the most important qualities a person can possess. I learned at a very early age - if you are not 10 minutes early, then you are late. I do not like being late, late people, schedule delays, rescheduling, slow or fast clocks and I HATE HATE HATE WAITING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS LATE, especially if it involves meeting for drinks or food. Seriously, if you say you'll be there at 3:00, be there at 3:00, or even better be there at 2:50 because I will be. When I learn that a friend of mine is chronically late or has developed an issue with punctuality, I just stop inviting them to do things or meet. Don't waste my time. I wouldn't do it to you.

Music instead of TV. I cannot stress this enough. I grew up with parents who played the stereo every day. On weekends, it was on from morning to night. TV was rare and as an adult I prefer to keep my lifestyle the same way. Music entertains and stimulates creative activites and thinking that are often squandered when watching TV. To quote from Depeche Mode's song Painkiller, "Uh, my stereo man is my number one high."

Ancient Aliens

At the end of the day, I've always got time for an episode of Ancient Aliens. I love that show.

I like this thread!

Like LouieLouie, I am obsessed with water, and I basically go crazy if I can't spend the majority of my summer weekends at my cottage at a Michigan lake.

Music (besides anything FM related): Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Stephen Stills, Maria McKee/Lone Justice, Joss Stone= my essentials. Could listen to nothing but them for the rest of my life and be happy. I also love learning about musicians and bands as well as the history of popular music.

Great Lakes invasive species. I have been interested in the invasive zebra mussel, quagga mussel, spiny water flea, and bloody red mysid (which I am currently doing my senior research project on) since I was in middle school. I care so much about the Great Lakes, because I grew up in Michigan, and by learning more about invasive species, biologists can help the government develop regulations to help control them and protect our waterways. If I was not going to pursue arts journalism, I would want to become a biologist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Writing (my undergraduate minor). All kinds: journalism, creative nonfiction, fiction.

I have worked at a fast food restaurant since I started college, and I love it-- no joke! The people I have met working there have the best sense of humor and they are some of the most down to earth people I have ever met.

I'm from Michigan - Traverse City / Suttons Bay - and after 21 years in Denver, Michigan summers are the only thing I miss.

Traverse City is a gorgeous area, I try to get up there every summer. I agree, I think the only thing I'd miss about Michigan are the summers and all of the lakeside towns and cities.
