I'm with ya. I own almost every Green Day shirt ever made....even if it doesn't fit me. Plus I still have the first one I ever got...it's full of holes and major fading. It's the cover of the Dookie album.

None of my Green Day tshirts fit me any more cause I got them when I was ittle :pinch:

When Green Day comes up in conversation and all your friends roll their eyes/sigh/say "don't get her started" and look at you to see your reaction.

You know you are obsessed with Green Day when you get up early to look at this site before you go to work just incase there's any news.

I agree with this. I get up at 7am to get ready for work, go on here for about an hour and a half....and then I'm always late haha.

haha, you're not a pathetic nerd. :lol:

i have 102 GD walls (including single ones of Billie), 91 GD avas, 175 Billie pictures ( :wub: ), 33 of the whole band, and plenty FHT pics, too. :D

I'm Green Day nerdy. :geek:

i think i should feel really guilty now because i have twice as much Billie pics as you... :ermm: and about 280 for the other band members too.... and let's say 2000 of all of them... :unsure:

When you're jumping around your room, screaming "OH MY GOD I'VE GOT A TICKET OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!" and then tell that practically to everyone you meet(Guilty... :rolleyes: )
*feels guilty for that one*

When you get into a record store just to look at the Green Day cds you already own :whistling:
i do that everytime I'm in a new CD store... and if they don't have at least Dookie I won't buy there again. :lol:

- you know you are obsessed when 2/4 of your CD collection is Green Day and you just put other CD's in it so you won't look like a total idiot.

I am so guilty of this. I think my coworkers got annoyed with me because I told all of them I got a ticket.

-When you sit down and copy in paper all the songs of Green Day (those from AI specifically..) just to learn them faster..

I was like :unsure: 11 years old when I did this.. :eyebrows:

-When your parents shout at you 'cause you're like hours in front of the pc and you say "Just a minute" to write something in the GDC/to see a new topic..:D

-When your cell phone rings and you don't pick it up so as to listen the song of GD you have as a ringtone..(oh yes I did that)

- When you sing a Green Day song while you are having surgery done on your toe to pass the time.

*Doctor saw me moving my mouth and asked if I was praying. I said "No. I'm playing Jesus of Suburbia in my head." Then he laughed and said thats cool. :lol:

Haha, me too, that's why I always tell everybody to call me again if I don't pick up the first time. :thumbsup:

- You have Green Day photos/posters taped to the celing so that each night, you can take one last look at that mighty fine band before you drift off to sleep (and you dream about them, of course.)

- When you're doing a VERY important exam, and one of the questions uses the name "Billie" and you can't help but smile.

- When your mother is too scared to enter your room because there are so many posters and all the eyes freak her out.

- When you can listen to a split second of the crowd cheering, on any live Green Day song on you iPod and are able to name the song, where it was played and the year it's from. 0_0

When your family who hates Green Day can sing along and memorize every single one of thier songs without missing a beat.

When you know every single one of thier songs and the words; when they came out; B sides; appearances and can name them all perfectly.

Holy crap, thats my nickname at school! Im the hated Green Day fan! :woot:

And I'm pretty sure that's not even all of it. You probably all think I'm crazy now... but you probably thought that before anyway. :lol:

Geez TheBullwinkle, I would NOT have the patience to type down all my Green Day stuff. I literally have boxes and boxes of it. I saw it all at storage the other day and brought some home.

I didn't know they made 5 different Rudy's shirts. I have one, that I got when we were in CA, and it has a fucking hole in it.

Does anyone else have the rare Green Day rolling papers imported from Spain? :wink:

I also have a hand towel (unopened) with the AI heart on it and it says Green Day. I've never seen anyone else have it, which is weird, because they sold it at the tour.

When your family who hates Green Day can sing along and memorize every single one of thier songs without missing a beat.

Meh... I HATE country music, but because I grew up on it (both my parents make me listen to it) I can sing along to a lot of songs. My first concert was when I was like 10 and my mom drug me to see Billy Ray Cyrus. In later years, she also guilted me into seeing Kenney Chesney, Gretchen Wilson, and Rascal Flatts with her (begging and saying she had no one to go with) :bored: She got pissed when I brought my iPod and was listening to it during the concert.

Wait a sec...my FIRST concert might have been Paula Abdul in the 80s. I was obcessed with her when I was little. :lol:

When people around are talking and you think that they mentioned something about GD.

When you spend at least 14 hours a day on GDC doing nothing but posting and waiting for a new topic or even making friends.

When you pass people in the mall or something, and they are wearing a Green Day shirt, and you say "Nice shirt!" to them and proceed to talk about how awesome Green Day is with a total stranger.

When you have to plug your damn website everytime someone askes you something about Green Day....especially when they see the huge Green Day tattoo on your arm. :lol: Extra points if YOUR MOM plugs your website all the time, and she doesn't even like Green Day.

I got a few more:

When you meet a person who shares the same love for your favorite band and you can instantly become best friends and talk for hours about them.

When you just stare at the TV screen when Green Day is on and you are motionless and in awe.

When you tweet, myspace, facebook, or blog anything Green Day related.

When you stalk a voting site and keep voting for Green day or any other side project of thiers for hours on end. (some of us GDC'ers I KNOW are guilty of this even just recently. :wink:)

I am the same way. I cannot stand Country music but my mom loves it and some of my family members do as well. I had been forced to listen to it when I was a kid and I did not even know that there were other genres out there like Rock, Punk, Hip Hop or anything. So I only thought there was this kind of music and it seemed so boring, but I know basically a lot of songs and thier words because of them. Oh Billy Ray Cyrus eck. I would have hated it. I would have done the same thing though, at least you was there for her since she said she had no one to go with. But she probably did what we all probably do with Green Day and convert you to thier music.

I do that too.

When you hear somebody's phone ringing and the ringtone is a GD song and you are wondering why you can't see who's calling you and then you are asking him if he is a GD fan.

When all you can talk about is Green Day constantly and talk about 21st Century Breakdown when someone says 21st Century or something about the current year. Or when someone says the word Green and automatically you say Green Day and start naming your favorite songs! Ugh there is so many things that make me talk about Green Day.

Well now that you said that, I saved a butt-load of Billie Pics. 4 pages of his pic thread saved. :D

When you are constantly trying to find a Green Day fan friend because you don't have that many.

When you feel inept because you haven't talked to someone about Green Day and wish you had someone you could spend hours talking to them with about your favorite band.

When doodling you just randomly write Green Day everywhere.

When you have an entire notebook booklet thing of your favorite Green Day pictures and lyrics and little notes from you and thier stories. (I'm majorly guilty of this)

When your friends make you the best homemade Green Day card because they know it would touch you more than anything else would.

When you pass people in the mall or something, and they are wearing a Green Day shirt, and you say "Nice shirt!" to them and proceed to talk about how awesome Green Day is with a total stranger.

Haha, you and your mom plug your website. That is epic. I would do that too though. :wink:

I do that too with the Nice shirt! Then I think they are the coolest person in the world because they like Green Day. I swear if you like Green Day as much as I do then you are epically amazing as a person. :lol:

Oh yea? :mad:

Well now that you said that, I saved a butt-load of Billie Pics. 4 pages of his pic thread saved. :D

I used to have about 1,000 pics of Billie. :ninja:

That was when I was really super obsessed and bored all the time so I just searched Billie pics and put them in my collection. And I had special sections to catagorize them.

HAHA! Everytime I go to the dentist he asks me what Green Day is up to and how GDA is doing. :lol:

My doc didn't know who Green Day was when I started talking about them. I was like PFFT you HAVE go out and buy Dookie, NOW.

Haha, you and your mom plug your website. That is epic. I would do that too though. :wink:

HAHAHA! I used to carry GDA stickers in my purse. So when I saw a Green Day fan, I would go up to them and give them a GDA sticker. :lol: It's funny because I'm VERY shy. The one day I was at Hot Topic and I went to the Green Day stand and there were these older teens looking at the Green Day stuff. This guy turned around and gave me a weird look like he recognized me. Then he followed me around the mall. It was weird.

Oh here's another one. In 11th grade I had to take Physics, and I was HORRIBLE at it and I never listened or did the homework. One day we had a quiz, which I obviously didn't study for. All I did was drew the cover of Dookie on the paper and handed it in with my name. He gave me 20 pts for it. :lol: I did absolutly NOTHING in that class and still passed. We even used to pass around the same sheet of homework right in front of him and he kept marking it down like each one of us did it.

Ahhh high school. 10 year reunion soon........ahhhhhh.......

Haha he recognized you before. That would have been very awkward for me.

Wow 20 points, I should have done that for Journalism. My teacher was a major dick (not embellishing) but he loved Green Day a lot (but not as much as me) so I should have done something like that to him. Your lucky to do that he must have been a Green Day fan then and appreciated your dedication to the band. Amazing.

I only have wierd times with teachers and Green Day, one time I was reading my Nimrod booklet because I had just bought it a few years ago and then I was reading the grouch and said "The wife's a nag and the kid's fucking up

I don't have sex 'cause i can't get it up" and my teacher walked by just as I said it, but I didn't realize that I had cussed. And he just laughed and asked if he could see my booklet and read it the entire class and was singing some of the songs for us. So I didn't get in trouble.

Holy shnit. :o

Jeez, I need to get more than that. :(

Well I started my collection a long time ago, and my friend who had 5,000-10,000 pictures of them or something like that. She gave me some. Plus I had a lot because I needed options to make sigs with. And then others are photos I had searched for a few friends of mind since I am a whiz at searches.
