you know all the words to songs so obscure that even Melanie forgot them

every Melanie item you own is signed, sometimes twice

you have Melanie's signature tattooed on you

when looking at a photo of Melanie you can tell what year the pic was taken simply by looking at her hairstyle (this may just be my own weirdness)

you think people who have never heard of Melanie are unfortunate and should be ashamed

your iTunes has over 350 Melanie songs on it





add your own!! keep the chain going.......

Gina, this is an OUTSTANDING TOPIC....and here are some of my answers....

You know you're a Melanie fan...

1. When your car has a NY license plate that says MELANERD and a dashboard signed by Melanie...

2. When your IPOD is etched on the back and says LCAT=MELANIE FAN
and the line MAKE IT WORK FOR ME and the Ipod is signed by Melanie...
(my middle name is Catherine in case you don't get the LCAT part)

3. When your IPOD has hundreds of Melanie songs and most of your playlists are Melanie playlists
with names like AwesomeMelanie and ExtremeMelemotion 1,2 and 3...

4. When you wish you had had a daughter so that you could have named her Melanie...

5. When some of your closest friends are people you have met as a result of being Melanie fans,
either meeting at concerts or here on her website...

6. When you check the counter on your Ipod and you realize that the top 25 songs you've listened to
are all by Melanie and that the total number of times these 25 have been played is almost 5000,
(and that doesn't include all the ones that aren't in the Top 25)
including one song SAVE ME which was played over 400 times...


I am sure there are other indications but this will be good for a start, LOL....

.... 1. You are named Melanie Safka King lol
2. Your reg plate is S4FKA
3. Your ipod contains nearly all Melanie songs
4. You have a pet leopard gecko called Beau
5. If i eventually have a daughter i will call her Safka Sunray.
6. You wake up singing Melanie songs lol
7. I have a garden in the city (well a very busy balcony garden in a busy town)

"You Know You're A Melanie Fan, When..."

* You wake-up with a Melanie song in your head, and it stays there all day!
* You implement and promote an online petition to get her inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
* You visit her website daily!
* You make new friends from around the World, without physically meeting them, because of Melanie's message!
* You enjoy life more!
* You think "W.W.M.D." (What Would Melanie Do)!
* You don't necessarily worry that your collection isn't fully complete, or that everything isn't personally signed, but more so that she's a true friend indeed, and a part of your life!
* She makes you smile!

good ones, guys! keep em coming!

Lauren made me remember that my ipod is etched with "if you reach the heaven the spirits on me"

and i forgot about all of the beautiful people i met because of melanie

When you visit a palm reader who tells you that an older woman who dresses in blue is looking out for you, and that's the night the Melanie dreams started.

--Mike

You have her autograph tattooed on your arm.lol
* You visit her website daily!
* You make new friends from around the World, without physically meeting them, well some of them,haha I've physically met Gina,Dia,Lauren,Marilyn,KathyLynn,Bill,Dennis,Makulaff,Kari,John,hmmmm I know there's more...lol
You never get tired of her music,and especially going to the concerts.
I named my dog after Beau cause they're both sooo cute.lol
I am blessed to "Be A part of it all!!"

When you're able to convince your partner to let you dedicate a wall in the living room to your collection of framed Melanie photos, then press your luck by getting even more pictures.

--Mike

When you can't sleep the night before you are going to see Melanie

when you are totally down when you tried everything and can not access her website

_when pharases in everyday conversation bring up Melanie songs with the same words in your head
- only your friends who are fans understand. If you say "I'm going fishing", you know they will respond with "You can go fishing".
- If you get to the center of a labrynth, they take out their guitar, plop down there, and sing "Center of Your Circle".
Oh I love having other Melanie fans for friends! We're peas in a pod! Lisa
