Scared To Know

They'd be scared to know that I have my most, uh, valuable, parts of my BSB collection in a box just in case a fire or some other misc. disaster occurs, I can grab it an run. *ahem*
When talking on the phone to a BSB friend when I'm with NON-BSB Friends my NON-BSB Friends figure that Nick is someone I actually know...
My NON-BSB Housemate knows the names of the BSB and can say them in age order Oldest to Youngest and back again.
I have poster rotation. Since I remodelled my room I don’t have the whole "poster collage" anymore, but I have so many BIG posters that I can’t have them all up at once. So...what to do but rotate about bi-weekly. Scotch tape LOVES me...
That when talking in conversations with friends the Boys are referred to as an actual person/object in my or my friend's room, i.e.: Friend - Kevin fell off the wall today....Me - Oh really is he on the floor? Friend - No, he's back on the wall but he's staring at me now"
That even muted I can still tell what damn song they're singin.
The creepy dreams they star in when I sleep at night.
I can no longer hear All I Have To Give without thinking If You Stay starts in the middle there somewhere.
Many of us now find it necessary to walk around going, "We're wabbits." complete with hand motions and everything.
They can still drop our mouths when they bust it out acapella.
All passwords to get into anything, be it work related or not...have something to do with the Boys.
Every time we watch TV or a movie and somewhere in the background a phone rings and automatically you begin to sing the opening lines to "The Call" inside your head....or out loud. Same goes for when someone goes, "Gotta go." You instinctively sing, "AH OH OH!" afterwards.
I had to pee so bad my eyeballs were swimming...but I refused to go. Why? MTT was on the radio.
Every time I think about their concert being a couple months away it makes me wanna skip down the road with GLEE! Pure giddiness is the only way to describe the way I feel about any concert I have the chance to attend.
Sometimes in the middle of the day, out of NOWHERE we'll think to ourselves, "Hmmmm...I wonder what AJ's doing RIGHT at this very second." Even scarier if we KNOW what he's doing.
My 18 year old brother has a huge stereo system in his car, big speakers, amplifier, the whole 9. What's the CD he plays the most? Black and Blue...makes me proud!!
Some of us check our favorite Boy's horoscope on a daily basis right along with our own.
Little butterflies come outta nowhere if we happen to catch our favorite Boy wearing something we have worn before.
I get Valentines every February from "Nick" and "AJ"... Their handwriting matching mine is pure coincidence.
We can take any song and put BSB lyrics in there ... and say it would be better that way.
We are known as "That chick that likes The Backstreet Boys"...maybe cos that's all I talk about? Dunno...
Whether they are Backstreet fans or not...when I am talking and I say "My Boys" everyone knows who I'm talking about.
The priorities thrown aside to get the album the DAY it comes out.
I actually cut my break short at work today cuz I remembered I did laundry and my red BSB sweatshirt was still in the washer. I was like SHIT MY MOM IS GONNA DRY IT. So I hauled ass inside to call her. She laughed at me. WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY!?
Board meetings at our places of business are sometimes overtaken by the "Hey, she likes the Backstreet Boys." subject.
How long we will spend on Napster searching for songs.....and waiting for them to download...no matter how many times it takes us to actually GET the full song.
I was actually late to work because I would not leave until I had downloaded SOMH and burned it to a CD so I could listen to it in the car. That's just sad.
The lengths we are willing to drive to go get something (i.e. Vinyl single of SOMH) even if it's across friggin town.
The lengths we will go to just to get to a damn Burger King.
How much we will pay to get good seats at a concert.
Some people have their whole entire wedding with one of the boys all planned out already with specific places, dresses, and even flowers.
I stayed up all night at the computer cos I didn't want to stop listening to SOMH the night I FINALLY downloaded it
Someone (won't give names for the safety of their egos) ate only the favorite foods of the Boys for a week cos she thought it'd be cool.
My mother convinced the manager of BK to give me a huge ass window poster of them... my father thinks we're both nuts.
No matter what you're talking about, whether it be clothes, your day at work, or the weather, you can somehow manage to make it somewhat BSB related. "Man, it's so damn humid out. Bet you A. J. is in his pool half-naked right now"
You can recite their songs in order on any of their CD's
While in the car, you'll stop and listen to an 'older' BSB song and act like you haven't heard it in AGES when you KNOW you have it on tape in your glove compartment
It's your best friend's birthday (and she loves the guys too.) What do you buy her? Some useless BSB stuff, obviously. (that way, you'll know she'll love it no matter what)
Most of us frequently visit Ebay or Yahoo auctions in hopes of getting more useless BSB merchandise
Those of us who are 18+ are anxiously waiting to buy Burger King kid's meals to get a BSB figurine.
Some of us single fans are probably single because it's hard for any guys to compare to our fave boy (if there are any, email me!)
What a conversation between two BSB fan sounds like, especially late at night. (freaky stuff man)
We probably know more about their families than our own
We can recite shoe sizes, birthdays, favorite colors and favorite foods at the drop of a hat
Most of us own at least a SIMILAR piece of clothing that we have seen our favorite Backstreet Boy wearing
Half of us have "converted" one of our "non-BSB-fan" friends into a BSB fan
Millennium, Backstreet Boys, and Backstreet's Back have been in all of our CD players since they came out...and have only come out to switch the order they are played in.
Most of us own 2 or more copies of Millennium
While driving down the road we will instinctively look into the window of ANY car resembling one that our favorite Backstreet Boy drives...no matter if we are IN Orlando or not.
Our crushes on "real life" boys bear a striking resemblance to our favorite Backstreet Boy
We will instinctively TALK to the TV if someone happens to be on it bashing our Boys. "Ya...well you suck..no one cares what you think anyways."
That with the amount we've spent on mags, books, CD's, imports, posters and whatever the hell else they throw at us...most of us could've bought Nick's truck for him personally. (Hope he wouldn't be upset then if I asked for a ride...hell...I BOUGHT IT!!!)
Most of our rooms are living BSB shrines.
At one time or another some of us have risked jobs, parental approval and our own morals to do something that has to do with the Boys. GOTTA LOVE PRIORITIES!!
For a lot of us buying something of the Boys for us as a gift just is not done...cuz those close to use either don't know what we have and do not have...or they figure we have it all already.
The second one of them is seen with a new girl, has a picture of her, or has a conversation....it is ON the net THAT night and the world knows about it in 30 minutes...flat.
The petitions that are sent around for stupid crap. "Please Help AJ Stop Smoking...just sign your name to the bottom of this petition".
That most of us have subbed to their official update list so many times and with so many email addys that we get MULTIPLE updates on whatever happens at all our email addys...some of which get several apiece. God forbid we miss the new Millennium tv!!
Our vision may not be perfect...and we might not recognize our best friend if she was right in front of our faces...but DAMMIT we can see new BSB merchandise from across the room!!
That most of us...whether we are in the room or not can pick out a BSB tune.....or can hear ONE beat and know it's them.
We can post on a website on AJ's 21st birthday how many times he's blinked in his lifetime.
The amount of broken bones we have accrued while running to the phone or computer after one of them has begged for us to vote for them. (Must we all forget Nick's little "Please, Please vote for it" during the premiere of IWITW on MTV....)
We will channel surf until we find a BSB song on the radio....whether it's 2 beats from being over or not.
We can see abbreviations for their songs and videos (like INBYH, ANOWTBSB and SMTMOBL) and know what it stands for right off without giving it a second's thought
We see them on TV and 'talk' to them and give them advice from our living rooms. ("Ewww...AJ stop wearing your hair like that man! It looks like crap!" and "Oh my gosh Brian...where did you get that awesome shirt?")
That if a BSB song comes on the radio while we're driving and we're almost home, we'll take the long way JUST to hear the entire song.....
That anytime (for the rest of our lives) that we meet someone named Nick, Nickolas, Brian, Bryan, Byron, Kevin, Howard, Howie, Alex, Alexander, AJ.......or any other forms of their names....we automatically think of ~them~....and we have to ask for middle names just to "check".
That we can pick their song playing over the loudspeakers anywhere we are...the mall, the grocery store, the record store, a restaurant......no matter how loud the background noise is!
We can somehow relate everything to them. "Ya know...I bet AJ loves this song."
We can walk by a store and see an outfit and automatically "dress" one of the Boys in it.
You send your online pals Internet birthday cards on the guys' birthdays
Proudly announce on websites and post banners of the guys birthdays. Hey, you never know, they just may see it
Get pissed off when we flip the radio away from a BSB song when it's at the end - even though you know you can just pop in their tape and listen to it from start to end.
You set it up so that AOL reminds you when it's one of the guys' birthdays
You see those race car shirts they wore during the PPV concert at the mall and it makes you picture Nick doing his part in "That's the Way I like it." And worse, you consider for a split second, buying it. (HEY, I OWN ONE OF THOSE DAMMIT- Susie)
You have secret names you use to refer to your fave guy (*cough* Keebler)
You cancel plans so you can stay home and record a new TV appearance
Buy singles of songs you already have on CD (hey, it has a NUS track)
Called out of work to watch all the Grammy Pre-shows with hopes of spotting them
We relate everyone in our personal lives to having a bit of a personality similar to one of the Boys....for example, "My friend Sean at work, he's JUST like Howie"
We go rent or see movies just because they have a song on the sound track no matter how cheesy the movie is.
Most of us have more than 5 VHS tapes of TV appearances.
That every time we hear the Star Wars theme song, we lovingly think of our favorite BSB riding his surfboard onto the stage of our concert/s that we've been to, rather than anything to do with Chewbacca or Han Solo.
We will watch a video over and over to learn a dance...
We'll watch a video over and over anyway...
Some of us have had to buy more than one copy of some of their videos because we wore the first copy out
Most of us dropped WHATEVER we were doing the Thursday night that Nick DJ'd and listened to the WHOLE damn thing....and it was WORTH IT
That we always know the order of the songs on any BSB CD. As soon as "Don't Wanna Lose You Now" is three seconds from being over, we mentally say "The One" is the next track.
We can smack anyone for dissing the boys and keep our eyes focused on the television screen at the same time.
Some of us went so far as to learn the Spanish versions of INBYH and "Anywhere For You"
Our ICQ and AOL buddy lists are all full of names like "BriansBaby" "IluvNicky" "IWantItThatWay"
We now sing "I can't believe I'm on Rosie" in the place of "You're not bein true to me" during QPG.
If we turn on the radio or even HEAR the tiniest bit of a BSB song in the morning...it is considered a good day
If we walk into the grocery store, bookstore, mall (etc) and hear a BSB song...we will stop...just to make sure....and then smile proudly and keep walking.
