Obsessed?
You know you're obsessed when....
Your friends (the ones who aren't fans) know that Paul's 5'4, Rob used to be homeless, Brian does the Pookie Shuffle, Adam doesn't drink, and Kyle used to play the violin.
You actually took the time to figure out that the sum each of the matchsticks' first names together equals 20. (Try it. Kyle+Rob+Paul+Adam+Brian = 20)
Last Summer, every time you heard Smooth on the radio, you had to point out that Rob wrote it. Even if you were the only one in the car. Come on! It was a number one hit song! Everyone should know -- be proud!
Your eyes sometimes actually water when you look at the guys perform. Oh, so much emotion!
Your friends bought you a little 'push sign' that you see on doors because every time you went shopping with them and came across one of them, you'd busrt out into laughter yelling "PUSH" in reference to the song.
You spend more time talking with online matchbox20 fans than you do your siblings.
You spend more time talking with online matchbox20 fans than you do with anyone.
You went out and bought the Angie Aparo CD because you knew Kyle played the guitar on some of the songs! (Awesome CD too)
Every time you see Mariah Carey you hiss at her because of that rumor that she kicked the guys off SNL.
You laugh when you see how 'obsessed' your friend is with NSync after seeing her room adorned with pictures of them. Then you go home and think nothing of the hundreds of matchbox20 photos and posters making your wall completely disappear. Yes, you are a fanatic.
You have a stuffed koala bear (or other animal) named Rob and are collecting four more for each of the matchsticks.
You call the bandmembers 'matchsticks' from time to time.
You sometimes/always refer to Brian as Pookie and receive odd glances from your family.
You started drinking Arizona Green Tea because you know they like it.
You write matchbox20 fanfiction.
You're reading a list like this.
You're writing a list like this.
When "Back 2 Good" comes on the radio, you get all giddy, saying "matchbox20!!" just to make sure whoever's with you knows that it's them, even if you've done this to that person seventy-three times already.
You can recognize "Back 2 Good" by Paul's first drum beat.
