I loved a lil bit chubby Billie. I can't lie about it.

Is it wrong to say that Tre looks really attractive in this pic for some reason?

Not at all, at least I don't think so! He looks pretty darn handsome. He seems as if he'd be a really good dancer from this photo as well ^_^

Ok so one time after school, I was on my phone-I had Billie Joe as my wallpaper- and these boys from my woodshop class (that had a crush on me) snuck up behind me and said,"Hey Vanessa, is that your dad?"

In my head I'm thinking:

1.) How fucking dumb are these people for not knowing who Billie Joe Armstrong is?

2.) Why the hell would I have my dad set as my wallpaper in the first place?

Anyways so after that I just got up and walked away rolling my eyes.?

But it was actually really exciting thinking that someone could even think that Billie looked like he could be my dad.Even if it was some dumb ass boys that thought that-?

Vanessa, I said this once, but you remind me a lot of myself, some 16 years ago. :D

That said, here's a story. It was April 1998 and my then-five-year-old neighbour got in my room to look for some toys to play with, as I was babysitting him. He stopped in front of the Green Day poster on my wall, the very same picture seen on that January 1995 cover of Rolling Stone, but a close-up. He was starring at it, with his mouth open, for about a minute.

"I hate this guy!", he says all of the sudden and points to Billie Joe.

"Why?" I ask, pretending I'm not emotionally attached or anything.

"Because HE'S GOT A LARGE BELLY RIGHT THERE!"

At that particular point, Billie was overweight...but the photo the child saw was taken in 1994. Yet, I remember thinking something in the lines of "whoa, this kid has superpowers"....

Looking at some pictures of BJ/the band just helped me out of a really bad anxiety attack. Which is a great thing. Esp. this one <3 :

It wasn't good at all until I looked up at one of the GD pics I have on my wall. That helped me snap out of it a little and get out my phone. Unfortunately I am in a house where everyone's asleep and my headphones are missing, but I feel much better now. They mean so much more to me than I can express.

This is cracking me up :lol:

OMG sometimes it is SO hard to detach yourself emotionally and have an actual conversation about Green Day. If someone says something even the slightest bit negative about any of the band members, the music, a particular album, or just GD in general, it's SO HARD.

In my head I *know* that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I just need to remain calm, listen to them, enjoy a rational adult conversation about music, and move on.

But really what I'm thinking is "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! GET THE F*CK OUT!"

I didn't have to sleep anyway. (thanks for the photo)

Hope you're feeling better now! :hug:

To me, seeing Green Day in real life after an 18-year wait changed a lot of things. From Billie Joe's example, I realised that anxiety indeed can be put under control. That's something to think about!

I hear ya. I once argued with somebody because she randomly started insulting Green Day and she didn't want to stop. However, the fact that she didn't want to stop is probably a problem of its own and the reason she was not a friend in the first place. Sadists suck.

Iva, I am feeling loads better (thank you!) and I agree with you 100%. Seeing them live changed my life and my perspective as well. BJ sets a great example of controlling anxiety, and I just kept thinking about that last night (WWBJD?) and breathing. It's quite amazing actually, how they have that effect on me/us.

P.S. I try really hard myself not to argue with people about GD, but it happens a lot, esp. if the person happens to be misinformed. I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize.

My husband came to my office today for the first time in years, and when he saw all the pics of Billie Joe he shook his head and said "You are such a fangirl."

To which I proudly replied "YUP!" haha.

I've been told I'm free to kiss Billie Joe if I ever meet him/get on stage at a concert. I think once they marry you they're typically past the celebrity jealousy stage. :P

I used to think that if I were to meet any of the band members, I'd be cool as a cucumber.
Hell, I thought that if I bumped into them somewhere on the street or airport, I wouldn't even approach them because I wanted to be respectful.

But let's be honest, it's been almost a decade for me. I haven't been to any GD concert (I STILL haven't met a real green day fan in person) and I'm pretty sure that if I am somehow able to go to one of their shows, I'll start bawling involuntarily by the second song. It's a bit shameful for me to even consider the possibility.

I guess I can't say I'm a "fangirl" because they were more like brother (and eventually father) figures to me growing up. If the opportunity even presented itself, I don't think I could bring myself to say anything out of fear of coming across as desperate. "You're totally like a Dad to me and due to having your influence during critical times of my brain development, I can't even fathom how different my entire being would have played out otherwise" would just be wayyyyy too creepy.

Never give up! Please. I waited for 18 years for my first show and four days before that, I came here...the rest is history. 40-ish days later, I was travelling to another show, which I attended with people I met on here. :)

Hahahaha he's so used to it that this point he just laughs. And if he was jealous he'd be a hypocrite, because he's a total fanboy! :lol:

One time when I was playing GD rock band, I randomly said, "He's so hot". Then I started laughing so hard I ended up failing the song because I couldn't sing. Thank god my mom didn't hear me... I just couldn't help myself. Billie looks so good even when he's animated.

I was watching a video and it was talking about taking celebrity crushes to your prom. My gf asked who I would've taken back in high school. My answer: Billie Joe Armstrong. Hell, I would take him now. :P
