A College Student's Guide to BSB Obsession
Date: Feb 15, 2001
Submitted By:
Ok, no offense to the younger generation of fans, but older fans do have a slightly different way of showing their obsession. The following are some of the things I have actually done - written by a 21 year old college student.
1.) You've spent your month's grocery money on those 4th row tickets to the BSB concert.
2.) None of your friends will appear dead at that concert (they have some boy band phobia) so you end up taking your mother. (Forget embarrassment...Look on the bright side, you might be able to get up on stage during The Perfect Fan).
3.) Your dad, who has repeatedly told you many times that liking them was the silliest thing, was flipping through the tv channels, came across the Disney concert and watched, to see what you liked so much about them, and became a closet fan.
4.) Have had water fights with the 'N Sync fan down the hall all in the name of the BSB.
5.) Missed three days of classes to go on a quest to meet the boys and was fully satisfied with touching Kevin's hand as he passed by (without even noticing you).
6.) You have fought with your boyfriend of 6 months because he is jealous of A.J. (That's when you know it's bad, because my boyfriend is very mature and even older than me and NEVER gets jealous.)
7.) Have slapped said boyfriend for making a crack at the boys during said fight.
8.) Taped your huge AJ poster back together after said boyfriend tore it down in anger.
9.) People in your dorm ask you the answers to Backstreet Boys trivia.
10.) Said people in dorm christen your room the Backstreet Room. (My room is not as bad as you would think though, I have two full posters, one pinup, a calender, and many self taken pictures of when I kinda met them).

To me, obsessed means crying when BSB isn't number 1 on TRL, or getting so mad that you go to the basement to scream to get all your anger out! Obsession means, calling the radio station EVERY night to vote for BSB on the 9 o'clock Hot Mix and then when you can't get through you feel like throwing the phone...even though it won't do any good. Obsession is buying every magazine with BSB (or your favorite BSB) on the cover! Obsession is talking for hours on end about your favorite BSB with your best friend and still have something new to say about him! Obsession means...when your parents have heard BSB so many times that THEY know them by name! Obsession is when you walk into your room...your wall paper is BSB!!!
THIS IS FOR TAIRA...What have a done to you girl?

You are obsessed, when you bite, grab, stalk, or get into the bsb personal space. Listening, breathing bsb 24-7 is another sign, that includes nameing your pets , or children, or your car, or bike, or your toes, bsb names. Big one brian, next one alex, third one kevin, forth one nick, fifth one howie...thats obsession! Obsession is a wall completly covered in bsb posters, and you kiss everyone , before you sleep at night, and again when you wake up in the morning. Obsession is not letting your mom wash your bsb boxers, cause you dont want them to fade...never mind the smell.!! Obsession is, standing in line in freezing whether for 2 0r 3 days to get tickets to the bsb concert. Obsession is acually sleeping with your bsb poster, and hopeing they make life sized, blow up bsb dolls, to take its place. Obsession is saying you love them, when you don't even know them. Obsession is dissing the bsb chosen partners. They do have a right to a personal life ya'll.

The BSBA Checklist
Date: Feb 15, 2001
Submitted By:
1) Everyday you take a black magic marker and draw the exact same tattoos AJ has, on to your arms.
2)You go to your local toystore and burn every brown or blonde hair Barbie cause they remind you of Amanda and Leigh Anne.
3)Your town has declared a Backstreet Boys Holiday cause you threatened to jump if they didn't.
4) Instead of singing "Oh Canada" or your national anthem, the people in your town sing "Everybody, (Backstreets Back).
5) Every night you cook your fave boys fave meal in hopes that he answered that fan letter and will take you up on that offer for dinner.
6) At dinner your parents set a plate for your "boyfriend" Brian.
7) Not only do you send cards and gifts to your fave boy but also to his family. ex. you sent Kevin's brother a"Happy Birthday Brother in Law" card.
8) You have been sending copies of Martha Stewarts Wedding magazine to your fave member along with sample invitations, examples of the china pattern, and pictures of the dress you plan on wearing to your wedding.
9) Not only have you sent the Martha magazine but you have written your wedding vows, and wear a fake diamond ring insisting your boy gave it to you.
10) a tour bus pulls up to your house and leads the tour group to your bedroom announcing it as the BSB hall of fame
11) You stop guys on the street, that are about the same height as the boys, and force them to lie down on large sheets of paper so you can trace around them. Then you take the paper home, and color it to look like the boys, just so you can have life sized replicas for your walls.
12) you beat up your younger sibiling cause they bought Kentucky Ave while you were playing Monopoly and now you have no place to put Brian Littrell Hotel.

Krust's Krazy Obsessional Confession
Date: Feb 15, 2001
Submitted By:
Okay here goes...these are all true, btw... (yes, I'm pretty odd...)
*1* You've wasted countless amounts of money in call boxes phoning up random Floridian telephone numbers and asking to speak to Nick/Brian/AJ/Howie/Kevin (delete as applicable). Not caring about time differences, either.
*2* Then, when someone finally said "yeah, sure, I'll just get him" you panicked and hung up.
*3* You have also severely p**sed off the kind people at directory inquiries international by constantly calling them up and asking for the Boys' numbers/addresses.
*4* You and your friends have an ongoing fan-tah-say which revolves around the guys - even going so far as to have conversations with them pretending they're in the room with you. Whether your friends are there or not.
*5* And you actually believe they're there.
*6* You've stolen your little brother's toy phone so that you can "call" them up and have conversations when they're on tour...sad, huh?
*7* You've stopped speaking to friends for various lengths of time because they dared to suggest that the Boys couldn't sing...and you took serious offence.
*8* You've made friends who aren't even fans read all your fan fiction. (ALICE)
*9* Even when drunk, you still remembered all the words to "I Want it that Way" - and gave an a cappella performanmce...let's not talk about that one ever again...
*10* You TRIED to persuade your dad to take you to London for the day after Party in the Park 2000 - but failed. (Next year I shall be driving...)
