Default Spreading the FM Love

I know that everyone gets excited when you expose someone to FM material, and they in turn fall in love with it, so I hope that you'll appreciate my story.

So I've been seeing this guy for a week, and he came over last night to watch a movie. I figured that he needed to realize early on how fanatical I am, so I said "Ok, before we watch a movie, I have to show you one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac moments." So I put in The Dance and skipped to Silver Springs. I paused it and gave him the background. "The inspiration for the song was Silver Springs, MD...it's written about Lindsay, the guy playing the guitar...was left off of Rumours....yadda, yadda..."

I play it for him, and he was "so knocked out". He was like "Can we watch it one more time?!?!" I said "You never have to ask me that." So we watched it again. Then he begged to watch it again. He said "Wow! So they're like up there talking to each other?!? All of this is between them!?!" He went on and on about it, so then I whipped out LIB so that we could compare the performances. Then we ended up watching The Dance in its entirety, and now he's excited to go out and buy Mac CDs. Yay! Another convert!!!

I've been described, by someone I dated, as an "icorrigible flirt." But i'm innocent, I tell ya.

And, by the way, Curtis knows I'm harmless.

I've converted quite a few friends and family members, but the guys I've dated usually already like FM/Stevie to some degree or another.

That's not a pre-requisite, by the way, but it is a plus!

I have ways of cheering you up...

Anyway, that's so cool what you were able to do, Mirror. I have been unsuccessful in my quest to convert my friends & family. Well, one of my sisters likes Stevie, but the other says "she is terrible." Stupid bitch.

LOL, it's a public message board, who cares who I was "talking to." You can answer/respond to my posts whenever you feel like it.

Anyway, yeah, my sis that doesn't like FM is 16, so maybe that accounts for something? At least I have a way of torturing her. Whenever we're in the car and she pisses me off, I blast some Stevie/FM. Muwahaha.
It's the greatest threat ever. "Shut up or I'm putting on Fleetwood Mac."

LMFAO, out loud, again...course, the inclusion of "Muwahahaha" usually gets me. It's too bad you're sis doesn't like her sometimes i threaten people with Mac, too, but i'd rather not. I'd rather they would say..."Mac? Great!!!!!" but, alas....
