You know you're a fan when...
- You've pretty much destroyed two of your other perfectly good posters of other bands you like, but really don't care; it's more room for your new Beatles posters.

- You found a Beatles sweatshirt in pretty much 3 times your clothing size, but bought it anyway. Just to be safe.

- A radio station for your area does "Breakfast With The Beatles" on Sundays and you totally freak out when you miss it, even though its only 45 minutes and basically 6 songs with oodles of commercials. It's still the Beatles to you!

Here's a fun little story that only gives even more proof that the Beatles are the best!
I was at a little street fair, and there was a guy selling new and used CDs. I walked over to look through and see what he had. He told me that "some of the better bands' CDs are 'slightly used.'" I picked up a copy of Sgt. Pepper and its dirty, cracked cover fell off. The better bands are used, alright!

^ Haha If it was a Beatles sweat-shirt I would buy it if it was 100 times my size!!! lol.

you are a fan when you study for your exams using the Beatles. I just wrote a whole Needs, Learning and Motivation analysis about George becoming a Beatle!

Yup, guilty of that

Yup, guilty here too. The sister (Octie) uses it for pyjama. And I bought a Beatles t-shirt that was a bit smaller than my clothing size. Well, I stil wear it!

Awesome!

I always find schoolwork easier when you find a way to work something you like into it.

Indeed, sort of. Back in high school, I once wrote an English composition about a person who was based on someone I didn't like in real life. He got attacked by a dog in that story. (grin) The dog was also based on someone I didn't like.

The teacher said it was an odd story but I got full credit for it. I'm bad.....I know. :B

That story made me laugh...^
Very true. Although, I've found that it is very fun to write about something you absolutely loathe and try to put it in a positive light.
For example, one time I was supposed to write about the favorite thing I was taught in school that year. I wrote about the time we were
learning how to play football (American) in gym class. I HATED IT.

So I said 'I just love the fact that when I punt the ball, it goes directly behind me' and so on. I got a good grade on the thing, even. (laugh2)

To keep with the topic, you know you're a fan when somebody sends you a postcard with the Beatles on it.

Penny Lane · « **Reply #646 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:47:45 AM »

^ Yes, it is fun to manipulate real life stories into your schoolwork! That's cool you got to learn American football at school. We never had a football team at ours...kind of embarrassing.

Haha! I did that when it was raining yesterday when I was out with some friends. They all just looked at me like, "What?" Ahhh... non Beatle fans just don't get it... :

You're a fan when the first thing you notice in your dad's friend's recording studio is all the paintings of the Beatles hanging all around. They were very nice.

Plus all of us played a whole bunch of Beatles songs. It was just a great experience being there. He had an electric sitar! An electric freaking sitar!

emmi_luvs_beatles · « **Reply #653 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:58:22 PM »

^ I know how the whole non Beatles thing goes, or when there's a Beatle refrence on TV and you totally spaz out and no one knows why lol

I did the rain thing yesterday during a thunderstorm too! Your lucky, I'd love to see a recording studio and an electric sitar sounds awesome!

Also, I freaked because my mom, who's an avid gardener, bought a yellow rose called "Yellow Submarine". I think she got it for me because she knows I love the Beatles and yellow is my favorite color. I always look at it when I go outside

Ooooh that's awesome!!!

I knew I couldnt resist mentioning the Beatles in my exam.... I wrote about John the marketer, Paul the employee in the IT industry and George his manager. We'll see what grade I get

Octie's going to get you!

freakchic9 · « **Reply #657 on:** July 02, 2009, 12:55:58 AM »

You know you're a fan when you're all depressed because Paul McCartney concert tickets are too expensive, so you think of a plan to:
a) Sneak in the concert.
b) Get enough money.
c) Actually go without sneaking in.

I'm going to get myself if I get a bad mark for it

But Ringo would have been too obvious.... hehe. He was on my mind though when I wrote it.

Kaleidoscope_Eyes · « **Reply #659 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:50:12 AM »

I saw a In His Own Write , the same version as the one in AHDN (I have a different version), and I nearly bought it but then I thought, nah that will be too much of a Beatles fan!
