You might be a U2 fan if...

1) You've stopped measuring time in years and now measure it in U2 albums instead.
2) You hear Aerosmith's "Livin on the Edge" and get dirty thoughts.
3) A U2 concert is just as important as church.
4) You can't lay eyes on a pair of sunglasses without being reminded of Bono.
5) Phisto-ish clothing greatly excites you.
6) Your friends can't figure out why you start crying when they tell you they're on edge lately.
7) You spend weeks with someone writing a drama about your romance with one of the band members and you have the rest of PLEBA hooked on it---even yourself.
8) You've ever experienced "U2 withdrawl"
9) You're willing to get into a moving vehicle that has Bono behind the wheel.
10) You pass a Harley dealership and look around frantically for Larry Mullen.
11) You buy a horse and name it Bono just so you can walk bow legged and say you "rode Bono all day" with a straight face. <--- thank you Lindsey (Bonorattle)
12) U2 has ever caused a relationship of yours to end.
13) The phrase "hot blondes" brings only one thing to mind: Larry.
14) You think the phrase "He moves in mysterious ways" was stolen from the U2 song.
15) You ride elevators and sing "elevation" to yourself as you do so.
16) You keep hiding what Bono's looking for.

I can't think of any more... have at it!! Come up with more...

I must have clicked the wrong icon for this one... is there a way to change it? The one up there really doesn't make sense. *sigh* Ah well.

There's the most obvious one, when someone says have a nice day you start to say 'you do the same' instead of 'you too' because it's too weird to say 'U2!' There are always comments people make that remind you of lyrics, and you look at a fellow U2 fan and grin, and they know.

17) You thought the movie Free Willy was about the making of the Achtung Baby cover.
18) You know you're a FEMALE U2 fan if you look at bono and see tall and skinny.
19) You know you're a Bono fanatic if you find yourself wanting to explore all the spots where he's "white, pink, and rosey."

20) You buy the "City Of Angels" DVD not for movie but for the U2 video at the end.

21) You think about taking Belly Dancing lessons after watching MW video or ZooTV live from Sydney.

22)All the CD's in your CD car changer are U2

23) Almost call a client "Adam Clayton". (I have a client by the name of Andy Clayton)

24) If you wake up at 6:45AM the day after Thanksgiving to be at BestBuy by 7:30AM to get a Free U2 CD

I have two, although I know I've thought of more.
You might be a U2 fan when you see random people wearing U2 shirts on the street and you actually go out of your way to say hi to them and ask them if they went to the show... (yes, I've done it... multiple times ;-) )
and.. you might be a U2 fan if you drive through the desert and stop on the highway solely to take pictures of Joshua trees AND risk bringing tree prickles back through the border when you come home... (yup, I did that too) :)

24. You can't hear the new remake of "smooth criminal" without thinking of Larry
biggrin.gif


25. You wear a U2 shirt 4 or more days out of the week.

26. You are known around school as the U2 fan

27. You write U2 everywhere, notebooks, planners, on your body etc

28. You see a waxing product and imagine how much you'd like to wax Larry

Meeting Larry:
*MG shows Larry poster*
*Larry reads poster*
*Larry smiles and says "Thank you that's very nice of you"*
*Larry signs paper, shakes MG's hand*
*MG almost dies then sees tearaway pants and gets bad ideas*

29. The mere mention of everyday objects such as sticks, balls, kittens, lettuce, meat, spoons, martinis, wax, beanies, glasses, buttons, cranberry sauce, vintage wine, zucchini, and many others i'm sure I've forgotten, remind you of PLEBA and U2!

Hey-I do the same thing at work...I'm a cashier, and I'll see people in other lines, I've left my till and gone to speak with them. My coworkers think I'm nuts when I do that. I also accosted about 5 people in Las Vegas who happened to be wearing U2 shirts. My friend thinks that I normally talk to strangers. I do, but only if they are wearing a U2 shirt
biggrin.gif
 
hey this is weird... i can relate to all of these, especially hearing 'smooth criminal' and thinking of larry! and each time wondering if the pleba's are thinking the same thing??' now i know.

...when people say 'please' to me I cant help but reply 'get up of your knees,please'.

...bought the movie 'blown away' because they make reference to u2 in it ('you know that irish band') and play 'I still havent found what i'm looking for'.

While wearing a U2 shirt I have had fans come up to me and ask me how many U2 concerts that I have been too...and than swap stories...I think it is great how a U2 concert t-shirt can bring fans together...

*incredously* You mean it WASN'T?? Seriously, really? It wasn't? Where's it from? *shock*

30) Anytime someone says, "Okay, you too" you hear
"Okay, U2" --and get very excited

31) Your biology professor mentions Ultraviolet light during a lecture and in your notebook you write
Ultraviolet: (Baby, baby, baby light my way) --may cause mutations of cells

32) Your Chem prof mentions Chemical Elevation--you, of course, hear EL-E-VA-TION!

If you hear over the PA in the middle of the store you start dancing around and singing...I did that once (okay, more then once) but I had a U2 shirt on...and it was a couple days after I saw them, and I was pointing to my shirt and telling random people that I just saw them...poor random people...

LOL I dance around in stores also!!! "Poor random People" HAHA!!!

When I went to see U2 in the summer when they were in DC, after the concert, whenever I would hear U2 on the radio or in a store and I was with my friend Felicia(who at the time was not a U2 fan, I have since converted her) anyway, I would say "Hey Guess what?" and she would just abscently reply "What" adn I would say "I saw them live" and she would freak out...like ARG! Why do I always fall for it!!! So after a while she caught on so I had to be sneaky with the way I got her to say "What" she wanted to kill me...but now that she has been to a U2 show(Baltimore) she does it to me!!! And I still fall for it evertime! Paybacks a Bitch.

10) You pass a Harley dealership and look around frantically for Larry Mullen.
LMAO! Sheisraging and I did this on the way to Montreal, stared at Bikers "slow down! slow down! what if it's Larry?" ... "but that's not a bike, that's a house on wheels!"

lol *sigh*

-You know you're a U2 fan if you travel many miles to a show with people you don't know and even sleep in a bed with strangers just to save $.
-Those strangers become your friends!
-You know you're a U2 fan if you buy your shirts extra long so you can have Bono sleeves
-You know you're a U2 fan if you are in a spa for the first time and in a bubble bath and reinact Bono's infamous bath picture!
-You know you're a u2 fan if your coworkers start singing WOWY to you as you pass by
-You know you're a U2 fan if you accidently say WOWY instead of With Or Without You to someone, and you understand what IGWSHA and WTSHNN and WGRYHH means.
-You know you're a U2 fan if someone writes about your *ahem* obsession in your college yearbook under "weird roommate habits"
-You know you're a u2 fan if you know what quote Bono is gonna pull out from his collection of quotes before he even opens his mouth!
-You know you're a U2 fan if the word "surely" makes you giggle.

LMAO!! "Surely" really does make me laugh when I hear it.

And yes, all my students and co-workers know I'm a huge fan. And I also love to say "you too" to people, although I secretly mean "U2."

You know you're a huge U2 fan when any reference to "edge" makes you really excited. For example, a quilting ruler that says "Lip Edge Ruler" on it. A Quilting ruler!!! Yes, I'm losing my mind.

*Lemons in the market are FUNNY.

*You really start to believe that Brian Eno IS responsible for evil....

I gotta another one: You go into a music store, even though you have all the U2 cds you could prolly get at a music store, but you still have to go over and check out the cds...and also straighten them out, and picked out all the cds that dont belong in the beloved U2 section...(I also hid something that said, "MTV VMA Winner" cause I didn't want people to know that U2 sometimes comes down with the common folk of N'STINK, Backstreet Boys, and Britney Spears)

When people say "It's cold outside" (as they normally do, because it's Canada and ALWAYS cold), you automatically sing "But brightly lit/Skip the subway/Let's go to the overground/Get your head out of the mud baby"

You practice your Irish accent wherever possible

People know you as the U2-obsessed freak
 
You know you're a U2 fan if.....

~ Whenever someone says "Turn it on", you imagine it's Bono singing "Turn it onnnnnn, turn it on, turn me on....."

~ Feck, feck it all to heck, FOAD, wankers, em, hoo-ah and rackem frackem have all been added to your vocabulary

~ You don't dance: you gyrate

~ You own the DVD, but you still watched the Elevation Concert on Friday night on VH1 twice in a row

*~*?*~*~ Katie ~*~*?*~*

I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
 
i'm REALLY trying to stay away from pleba so i can write my paper...its REALLY not working...arg

dunno if this really counts but it's sorta amusing to me...

my friend and i were getting ready for the u2 buffalo show, before i would consider myself a u2 fan....
my mom: "u2 are really old"
me and my friend: "what?"
mom: "u2 are really old"
me: "what are you talking about? we're 21!!!"
mom: "NO, THE BAND!!! NOT THE TWO OF YOU!!!"

then i'm sitting in my house with my roommates after the u2 hamilton show, and i would now consider myself obsessed...
bill: "do you two take route 20 to go home?"
me: "what?"
bill: "do you two take route 20 to go home?"
danielle: "no we take 63"
me: "OOOOH I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT U2 THE BAND, NOT THE TWO OF US!!!"

i need help lol

and in regards to dancing in stores to u2...i dont even need u2 to be playing to be dancing in the store...the other night i had a really bad song in my head, so i forced myself to start singing Elevation...so once that got in my head, i was "bono dancing" (so my friend said haha) and singing all through target and walmart with my friends hahaha. poor random people lol.

BACK TO MY PAPER!

Ok, I thought of some more...

.... your classmates randomly say "Bono" just to see how fast you'll turn your head...

.... you can't look at an olive or a lemon without thinking of Popmart...

.... you realize that only times you've been at an airport this year was because of U2....

.... you paid $10... twice.... to see Tombraider this summer and told everyone that it's only redeeming feature was the clip of the Elevation influx mix in the middle and the Elevation remix during the credits....
