This is so awesome!
I totally ripped this from john311's journal, but i told him I was gonna do it, so...... all you positive vibe merchants, read on:
you know you're a hardcore 311 fan if. . .
~You get excited when the time is 3:11 or 8:16
*and of course 4:20*
~You have at least one pet with one of the following names:
Nick, Tim, SA, Chad, P-Nut, Hexum, Mahoney, Doug, Sexton, Wills, or Aaron.
~You've considered Omaha as a possible vacation spot
~You've given yourself whiplash while rocking out to any song of theirs
~You've wanted to get yourself a '69 Lincoln (with suicide doors)
~You used to check the mail for "In Your Face"
~You watch for 311 license plates, addresses and phone numbers
~Your answer to adversity is "fuck the naysayers"
~(If you live in L.A.) you look twice at every silver 911 Porche
~You knew of Incubus, No Doubt, The Deftones, Hoobastank, the Black Eyed Peas, NOFX, and Korn probably before most of their "fans" did
~You know who Bobby was
~You know what the following mean: ETSD, FTBS, WGTH, BTGS, CUTM, SJRTR, WDYD, DLMD
~You've affectionately called someone "Star"
~You've told the real story behind the bands name
~You know who Saint, Pat, Joan, Peter and Adam are
~311 Day is a bigger holiday than your birthday
~You think it's fate when your total purchase comes to $3.11
~You've practiced your SA moves in secret
~You're both excited and sad when Nick says "there comes a point in the evening..."
~You can match 'Led Zepplin', 'Sugar High', and a Lakers jersey to the right guys
~You've got a strong aversion towards "friendly to the radio" music
~You know who's West side and who's South side
~You've watched ETSD & ETSD2 a billion times
~You've made special mixed CD's for each of your friends in subtle attempts to convert them
~You've met some of your favorite people on BB or at a show
~ Your favorite parts of 50 First Dates were appearances by 'Amber' and 'Rub-a-Dub'
~Any car ride is a party with all of the albums
~You have pictures so old that Chad and Nick have long hair and Tim is tat-free
~You've attempted the 311 Milk Challenge
~You're savvy enough to catch "mistakes" in the live shows but loyal enough to keep them to yourself
~You shaved your hair and bleached it platinum blonde sometime between 1995 and 2000
~You've scolded someone who's shrugged off 311's music and are tired of the very old and stupid rumor people still talk about
~You've searched for or found The Hive
~You've traveled out of state to see them
~It's been a goal to learn every lyric
~You know who Jim Watson and Ward Bones are
~You've cried or felt like crying listening to Beyond the Gray Sky
~Any of the bandmembers recognize you from a previous encounter
~You know who's got the herb
~You know the real words are "check the technique" not "check, check"
~You can shout "P-Nut, beat that thang!" with a straight face
~You're goal is to conquer three hundred and eleven shows
~Your life philosophy includes the ideals of unity, positivity, and "millenium niceness." You remind yourself that, "life's not a race" to "take care of yourself and someone else," and to "stay positive and love your life"
~You cringe when non-hardcore 311 fans say they love "Down" or "Amber" (even though you do too)
~You've been truly inspired to hear music differently or even learn to play
~You love them so much it hurts sometimes
~You're torn between wanting them to stay out of the mainstream and wanting everyone to like them
~You know you are a hardcore 311 fan if everyone else knows you are too
example: being known as 311 Girl or 311 Boy
~You broke up with a girl or guy because they didn't like 311
~You keep burned copies of the albums in your car so the originals won't be damaged
~You noticed the 311 poster in the movie 'Fight Club'
~You cannot name a single favorite song
~You know who Jake and Emily are
~You get mad goosebumps when hearing certain parts of songs, even though you've heard them hundreds of times
~You have a cd case designated for only your 311 albums and live stuff you have found online
when you see a crappy car buy say "that's an awesome car!" only because it has a 311 sticker on it
~You mark your calendar and stay up super late to catch them anytime they are on t.v.
~You listen to your other music only because you feel bad for abandoning it.
~You see someone at a random place wearing a 311 shirt, and you want to just give them a big hug.
~You say or think something negative and automatically scold yourself because you feel nick would be disappointed in you for not being positive
~Everyone who knows you feels obligated to tell you they saw 311 on TV.
~Someone pronounces it three-one-one and you almost puke
~You do not dance, can not dance, would not dance... Unless you're at a 311 concert up in the stands because you couldn't get a floor ticket -- and you dance like your life depends on it, and don't give a f*ck what the naysayers think.
~You're in a dark hallway with a girl and you feel the need to kiss her.
~You feel sorry for those who don't know the splender that is *311*
~*~*You know you are a hardcore 311 fan if this post almost made you cry~*~*
Man!!!!!!!!!!! I am feelin that!
