[open_embrace]

Hey guys,

Anyone here identify themself as a fan? Fanatic? Fan-boy or -girl? Obsessed with something or someone?

Please comment on this entry and write me a nice long bit of babble about the crazy things you've done out of your obsession. Have you ever waited three days in a ticket queue so you could see your favourite band live? Ever stalked them (

I was really obsessed with the boy band N SYNC that my mum and I waited in line for tickets. I saw their show 3 nights in a row cause we were lucky enough to find their 3 show. I was even in their fanclub. I sent them drawings and letters every single week. I met Lance one day and I was completely in awe. I couldn't speak for several moments. I had all the imports and the dolls, gum, stickers, poster books, unofficial autobiographies. Anything with their name on it I had.

I cannot even begin to start with my Harry Potter fandom. I mean I have several fanfictions that I have written over the years. The thousands of icons I have made over the course of six years. I have my own characters so intertwined with Rowlings that they actually make sense with her story if I could actually sit down and write it all out.

Then there's the Star Wars craze. My best friend and I skipped school on the day Revenge of the Sith came out and we took the train with lightsabers all the way down to Hollywood to see its premiere. We would also play in the toystore with the lightsaber, one of us would be darth and we'd just be there fighting. I won't mention the legos or the ewoks I've had since I was 4. There's also a comic book collection as well and every version of the VHS that came out and finally the DVDs. Oh and trading cards.

Then there's the Anime Sailor Moon. At school the girls and I would all pick a character to play and we know all the moves. I had all the manga's, I have all the movies, DVDs from Japan with English subtitles. The artbooks, the dolls and playing cards. The sticker cards too. Anything I could find for it I had. I even had my mum make me the costume one year. I cosplayed before i knew what the hell it was.
