Most embarrassing FM confessions

[diamondsnake]

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?

You mean, everyone doesn't?

Hahahahaha!! I do this too!!! ALL the time!! 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.

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

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

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.

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.

I guess that's about it fer now.

Congrats!

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.

- 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.

Ditto.

And I'll add that I have used Stevie songs in my lessons, and when I need to cover wall maps during tests I use a Stevie collage.

I'm not a yuppie/preppie/whatever unlike most Fleetwood Mac fans who tend to be (Blue collar bred and damn proud of it )

Are they? I suppose. I'm BCB, too. Or rather, half BCB, half welfare!!! I do definitely notice if I ever see an AFA fan in the audience, so I know white bread is the food of choice of mac fans! And probably middle to upper middle, with some nice redneck thrown in as sprinkles.
