Most embarrassing FM confessions
 

Well, now that I'm partnerless, this is how I spend my Friday nights. Starting threads. I am so f**king sad. :laugh: Anyway, enough about me.. What are your most embarrassing FM confessions. Mine are:

That I even like them at all :laugh:
That I dance wildly to the Chain and have every move almost choreographed, I’ve done it so many times. It doesn’t matter where I am. If I hear it come on, I start moving. My favorite part is when it slows down and then the drums start back up, then the guitar and then I go crazy! I also love to sway to GDW.
I think NTF is cool!
I cry every time I hear Storms. Every single time.
SOTM almost arouses me and I'm not gay. (The whole Tusk album was sheer brilliance!!!)
I flipped someone off at a concert once (not a FM concert) for dissing Stevie when I was talking about her. Everyone looked at me like I was insane. :laugh:

There are more, but I think I've humiliated myself enough for now. Anyone have any?

Hmmm...
 

I would look more at home at a metal show than a Stevie Nicks solo/Fleetwood Mac show

I headbang to Fleetwood Mac in concert (Ol' habits die f**kin' hard!!!)

I blast "Stand Back" at deafening volumes

I intimidate (Not intentionally, I just look pissed pretty much 24/7) people sitting near me so I never have to hear the "Sit down your blocking my view" BS from anyone!!!

When I was telling people about Vegas and they asked, "Who are you going with?" I told people I was meeting some friends out there, only the people closest to me knew that they were Ledgies! :lol: :thumbsup:

When Stevie blasts through the speakers, I twirl...even in the shower. :shocked:

I have an imaginary tambourine. :shocked:

...That they took my screaming and yelling from LIB and added it to the mix....very loudly. :shocked:

My AIM profile always has a FM lyric of some kind in it :shocked:

I wanna name my first child something FM related. :shocked: (Fritz, if possible)

.....and I've been spending wayyy too much time on The Ledge. I need to start work already. The 20th seems so far away.... :distress:

I drank too much one night and sang Gold Dust Woman on karaoke. :distress:

I do that too, usually while driving. I think I posted this once before, but when I lived in LA I was rocking out to Stand Back, I pulled into a parking lot off Santa Monica Blvd. and when I got out of the car a transvestite prostitute started singing "Stand Back Stand Back eat my p**sy and my crack. :shocked: :shocked: :distress:

Sorry Curtis, probably dozens of people have already asked you this, but which screaming is yours?

Romy

Hrmmm...

NGBA...most, if not all of it.

the end of Gypsy...the "Stevie! Stevie!" oy. I remember that well. :distress:

The "Wooo..Go Lindsey" during the SB guitarbation.

That's all I can think of right now. It sure is my voice. :rolleyes:


O_o

Hey, your "Stevie! Stevie!" at the end of Gypsy was great. :thumbsup: For the others I need to watch LIB again. :nod:

By the way, embarassing moments:
One just yesterday I sang all Landslide listening to the St. Louis 1979 boot while I was waiting for the bus in a strangely empty road.


Romy

I used to do the "Rhiannon" dance right before a shower, wearing only a towel.

I keep forgetting about that! I have to go listen to that tomorrow when I get a chance to use the family DVD player. :rolleyes: :laugh:

Anyway, my confessions are:

I have a few stethoscopes with FM-related names (though some were given those names unintentionally if that makes sense)--Stevie, Christine, Robin, Lori, and Bella Donna. Oh and Sara! I almost forgot about her and she's in my sig! :o

My feelings for Stevie are so confusing. I can't decide if I want her to be my aunt or if I want to bang her. (Not that I know anything about the latter. :laugh: )

Christine I'm pretty sure I want to bang. Things are more clear-cut with her.

On that note, I totally think Christine is way sexier than Stevie in the "Hold Me" video. :shocked: I know no one (except maybe Homie) agrees.

I AGREE! I AGREE!

As for banging, while I'd stand a better chance with Christine (I've seen the guys she goes for, believe me, I stand a chance), I still think my first choice would be Bekka if for no other reason than the soulful screams. Stevie, not so much. If anything, I'll have to hear about any relationship for the rest of my life because she would write about it in code in one of her songs, and frankly I don't need that kind of pressure, damnit!

I'm sorry you are sad. I hate being sad, it's very sad. *hugs* :xoxo:
I feel the same way about SOTM. ;)
I don't really have any confessions. I just sing really loud, all the time, and record how it sounds. Hmm, I guess that should be a confession. Anyway, audacity.com - do it! I stomp around to the chain, and when i watch the TUSK video i get sticks out and try to play drums on my floor. I sing to all guitar parts.

Just two I can think of...
 

Hmmmm...
 

One of two things...

The first is my utter facination with FM (particularly Lindsey) when I first discovered them via the Mirage concert on HBO. I remember sitting in my living room...alone...in the dark...EVERY TIME the concert came on. I was completly in 12-year-old love with Lindsey. I remember taking Poloroids of the TV screen during my favorite moments. I think my mother was concerned... :laugh:

That, or the fact I heard the words "Fleetwood Mac" come up in a conversation between a couple other co-workers. I managed to insert myself into the conversation...I mentioned the BN album and GOS...the other guy SEEMED interested. I told him I'd burn him copies and I brought them in the next day for him.

And though we can see each other everyday (the newsroom is made up of those little half cubicals that you can see over), he hasn't spoken to me since. :shocked:

I'm trying to figure out if he thinks I was hitting on him or if he just thinks I'm too freaky!

But...but...I couldn't help myself... :shocked:

:thumbsup:
Noway, that's not goob, that version is THE ****!!!! I would totally do that, if I wasn't busy hopping around like Lindsey, and tilting my head back yowling "Chaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnnyeaaaahhhhh" to Stevie, not to mention trying to sing both parts at once!!

I have been known on the rare occasion to talk to my posters...

Mind you, I don't carry on conversations. But let's say, for example, that Anne Heche is on the television - I might turn to one of my Lindsey posters and say "What the hell were you thinking?" :laugh:
Likewise to the Billy Burnette picture on my Time poster if I happen to be watching "Saturday Night Special."

i literally choked on my cocoa pebbles over this 1!!! :lol: :laugh: :lol: ~

:lol::lol::lol:

That song will never be the same. It is in my head every time. :laugh:

I have had dreams about Stevie & Mac. Usually right before a show I'm going to, but I had one last night. :shocked: Me & Stevie & Theresa were hanging out at the bar my parents used to own. WTF?

I quote Mac songs in ordinary every day conversation to people who don't know or care what I'm talking about.

I do the Gold & Braid dance pretty much every time I hear it, complete with tamborine toss. (Amber was forced to witness this in Vegas.)

That was awesome! You really are quite the little stevie-moves immitatrix.
And I can't believe you dreamed about Stevie and I wasn't there!!! Biatch!!! :mad: :lol:
S'okay, you're never in my dreams about stevie, either. :cool:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That's great.

I've never had a dream about Stevie/FM that I remember, but I did have one about Don Henley/Eagles. :eek:

A friend of mine (who is not a FM fan) had a dream awhile back that involved me, her, Lindsey, and some other chick. We were apparently having a tickling contest (wtf?) and, being the great friend that she is, she started tickling the other chick so that I could have Lindsey. :D :thumbsup: :laugh:


I dunno... :shrug:

I have had my own FM dreams, but it's been too long and I can't remember the details.

Kinky.. :nod:

FM overload results in burnout for beginners. You have to spoonfeed them or make them think they've discovered them on their own. Casually slide Tusk into the cd player and in a surprised voice say "oh wow, this is pretty good..who is this?" Then, let nature take its course. :laugh:

My most embarrassing FM confessions. OMG. Got a day or two?

- Well, I've had COUNTLESS Stevie and/or Fleetwood Mac dreams - everything from meeting them, to BEING Stevie - cheating on Kristen with Lindsey!!! - to just hanging out with Stevie, to buying Stevie lunch at a corner store (that one was bizarre)

- I cried after the last Behind The Mask show I saw because I was so sure it was the last time I'd ever see Stevie live

- no one in my circle of friends knows I've travelled to other cities and out of my country to see Stevie or FM live in concert

- I will ALWAYS and forever regret that I didn't name my dog "Gypsy"

I know there's much more. Basically, no one knows how much I love SN and FM. It's not something I choose to share. None of my friends would understand. It's why I like this place so much.

These are too funny!

Here are some of mine:

-If I am watching Live in Boston and Standback comes on, I grab a blanket (as if it is the standback cape!) and start dancing, twirling at the same time Stevie does. (That is my worst secret- I need serious help!)

-I get a stomach ache before every show because I am "nervous" for the band!

-I listen to Stevie in the shower and pretend the shampoo bottle is a microphone and jam!

-I almost fainted during Beauty and the Beast in Vegas.

-I wish I were on American Idol so I could sing all my favorite Stevie songs!

-I will quote Stevie whenever I feel it makes sense in a conversation. Today I said "I need a little sympathy". But it went right over everyone's head because they don't know it is a Stevie lyric, they just thought that was my choice of words.

-When I am getting dressed I sometimes think, If Stevie were a man, would she wear this? :wavey:

You mean, everyone doesn't? :shocked:

Hahahahaha!! I do this too!!! ALL the time!! :laugh: :laugh: And no one EVER gets what I'm referring to!

i also slip lyrics into conversation, matt is the only person who 'gets' it. sometimes i get a strange look after an 'it hurts my everything' or a 'read between my lines'...

i know this isn't so rare (especially here on the ledge), but i know every syllable intimated on the Dance. the dialogue, the inflection... so at the end of certain songs, let's just say Silver Springs, the song isn't over until 'thank you very much, we really appreciate it - Silver Springs is a great old song, thank you'...

i also do the 'moves' from the concert videos. most notably the high kicks on G&B, the mic grab slash make a fist during Rhiannon from the Dance, and the backwards sashay from LIB's Stand Back.

my (ex)boyfriend didn't have a clue about the obsession until two years into our relationship. the realization went something like "why didn't you meet me for lunch... were you watching the Dance again?"

I do that too!! I refuse to change in my room becuase I swear they are watching me. It's scary, actually.

I find myself dancing around my room playing my tambourine with the music all the time. Especially to Destiny Rules or Thrown Down.

I try and spin with Stevie during Stand Back from Live in Boston and normally fall down in the process.

If I'm watching Live in Boston with a friend I will do all the hand movements that Stevie does. They all think I'm crazy

I, like other people, quote Stevie's songs when I'm talking, too. People never understand...

I'll be sitting in school and persuade myself that one day, Stevie will come into my class and take me out to lunch and take me shopping that day.

I find myself doing the Say You Will dance when I listen to the song... Even if I am on the bus or something, I'll do it without realizing it. :shocked:

Waldorf Astoria Towers a month ago - and that is ALL I am confessing to this evening :laugh:

Oh...One I forgot...
 

Deb bought me a big white & green Celtic styled font bumper sticker that has the word "Enchanted" on it...I wonder why??? :lol:

Aaahh.... I know, believe me. I'm in the same boat. Right now I feel safer posting here than going out and trying to meet someone else. :angel:

Here are my embarrassing confessions and these would only be embarrasing to non-fans, of course. You all understand these things, for sure.

- I sobbed like a baby in Vegas during BATB
- I've spent an ungodly amount of $ on stage-worn clothing and have a hard time NOT spending more when they come up (like the Christie's Rhiannon outfits for $6,000)
- I couldn't speak and went vegatative when I had my turn during an Edge walk
- I can only do FM and SN karaoke songs because I don't care to learn any others
-The two years I spent haunting and hunting for clothes and boots that looked like Stevie would wear, did my hair like hers, wore shawls, etc. to WORK everyday. I know this might not seem weird to you all, but it was a phase and sometimes when you go thru phases and you're on the other end of it, you wonder why you did it. It was fun then, even tho a few people made some rude comments, it's a little embarrasing to think back on it. :o

I guess that's about it fer now.

(Edit: Uh-oh... I just became an Addicted Ledgie!) :laugh:

I can't say that I'm embarrassed by these opinions, just that they're not popular ones:

I liked Gypsy live on the SYW tour. Don't like it on the Mirage or Dance tours. Other than the acoustic live version, my favorite version is still the one with the Heartbreakers. Like the fast pace, reminds me of Blondie's Atomic.

I don't care for Everywhere live, and I barely tolerate the album version.

I think Homeward Bound and Sugar Daddy are good, and Honey Hi is brilliant. I don't mind Mystified; the vocal is pleasant.

I think Empire State is better than Can't Go Back.

I prefer You And I Part II to Part I.

I prefer The Ledge to I'm So Afraid.

I prefer Second Hand News to GYOW.

I find The Dance's Rhiannon overrated, though I like it.

I've had dreams where Stevie is young & singing to me in space.

I think RTTG is worlds better than EFO.

I think Seven Wonders has a great vocal.

I think Freedom is the best song on Mask.

I like All Over Again, but dislike all of Chris's other songs on Time.

I think Stevie is the only good thing in the Hold Me video. The Seven Wonders video is hypnotic. Everybody looks terrible in the Big Love video.

I own Best Shots, but I can't bring myself to like Pat Benatar completely since she won Grammys against Stevie. And I cringe every time I hear MM's You Should Hear How She Talks About You for winning against Edge.

I think Warm Ways is written for the orthodontist's office, and I dislike the album version of World Turning.

I think Stevie's Mirage songs are as good as her Tusk songs.

Flame away. :woohoo:

- Jake

- my harddrive (and a cdrom) is filled with pictures of the bandmembers
- I've had an obsession with downloading concerts etc. via throwndown.net
(somehow I've grown out of it.. hmm.. or did I just move on to downloading loads of mp3's of other bands?)
- been on this board off and on since '97
- I make the Nicksfiles
- I try to find a connection between the mac and other bands/artists I listen too, "6 degrees of separation" and I actually like something better when I find one
- I used to get REALLY upset when I missed a tv-appearance. Could ruin my week. I used to video tape anything. Interviews of 30 seconds even.
that's about it.
