You know your a fan when you've went as Prince for Halloween and then turn around and fight over somebody talking that you look nothing like Prince

You know you're a Prince fan if...

... you go up to the fax machine at work and seeing that your fax needs to be put face down, you start singing under your breath: "let him go down as a washed up singer, aint that a bitch" - and have your colleagues stare at you strangely.

--when you listen to other singer's music and imagine how Prince would've made it better

--you still get mad when you go to the record store and see only the stuff you already own, like some new mysterious cd came out that you or nobody else on the ORG knew about

--you buy cd's of people you don't know/don't like just because there's a Prince song on it

--you hear a profane song and say "Prince did that in '85"

(why do i have the feeling that im the only one that does that )

great thread

-if you defend prince while arguing with your boyfriend, who declares that prince is not a masculine man...

-after watching prince perform on tv, or live or present an award on tv, you shout out loud, "damn, i love that sexy man!!!"

U named your son NATE, and your doughter PAISLEY.

U ordered The Vault (717 pages) and finished it the sam day it came in.

...when you use prince-associated usernames on the computer...

...very funny in LAN games when you are the only Prince fan...

you know you're a Prince fan if..you've forgiven him for Tony M.

you know your a Prince fan if..you went into the record store and asked "Do you have Dirty Mind?". The guy at the store is like.."whaaaaat..Do I have a Dirty Mind..yeah!?"...and you're like, "no..Do you have the record Dirty Mind?" and he's like.."hey why do you keep calling me dirty mind?" you sigh very loudly and walk out....

u kno you're a fan if you wanted 2 b the 100th post on this thread lol

**i couldnt help it!**

...when everyone you know and work with knows about your obsession and buy you prince stuff for your b-day and holidays.

...when you are in a bad mood and the moment prince is shown on tv and played on the radio you have an instant smile and your mood changes to extremely happy

...when you shut everyone up to hear his song, voice, see him, or hear anything in mere relation to him

...when you know in your heart of hearts that you are the one meant for him and only him

...when you would drop everything you have to run to him if he ever called you

...when you would convert your religion if he ever knocked on your door

...if you LOSE your religion when you hear those certain songs

...when friends and family start making prince collections for you in case you miss something

...when you spend your entire paycheck to buy prince souvenirs you know you'll never find again

...when you significant other knows your obsession very well and knows they will always play second fiddle in your head

"ok this one is for all the ipod owners:
if u put every one of your prince cds on your ipod EVENTHO there are many songs you HATE(then u create a playlist of the songs u do love)..but u do it jus 2 have them all there in your pocket lol

Nope, you are not the only one! I put ALL of my Prince cds on my ipod, even the ones that I did not listen to often. The good thing is that now I am enjoying songs that I never really listened to before!!

Also...you know you are a Prince fan when even though you have his movies on vhs AND dvd, you HAVE to watch them when they come on tv.
[Edited 1/30/05 19:22pm]

you've seen Purple Rain more times than you can count on your fingers and toes

When family, friends, co-workers and ex-boyfriends call you when any prince video, movie, commercial, etc. is on the TV or radio.

I agree with the watching the movie when you have it in your collection only I take it a bit further. I don't like the way the TV/cable channels cut the sceens so I put in the VHS or DVD of whatever is on the TV and watch it with out interuptions. And yes all Prince music is separated from other artist and is in year to date order.

When you have your collection itemized, logged, photographed and stategicly located in case of any emergencies and for insuracne purposes.

You have his Movies/concerts on VHS & DVD.

When you have movies that were only released in the UK and on Pal and do not have a player in which to watch them on, but enjoy having them in the collection none the less.

And again, I also go to the CD and movie rack at all of the store's in whatever city I might be in to see if there is something there that I do not have and need to buy.

When you keep all clippings and magazines in protector sheets or plastic in binders that are various shades of Purple or paisley. (that's the best)

Purple Wishes N Computer Blue Dreams 2 U all



Brsugah out

You know you're a Prince Fan when you're lover, knowing you're a Prince fan, buyus you a Prince cd while in Spain and instead of saying "I have that one already" you tuck away in a suitcase to not hurt his feelings.

exactly. it's like bipolar.
u have to stop what ur doing if u hear a P song in the store
u have a Prince lyric for almost anything that one of ur friends say
u defend him no matter how many times ur friend calls him a "dick" or when ur friend writes "i'm a woman!" on ur NEW YORK TIMES concert full page ad on ur wall. when u specifically said when u left DON'T TOUCH THE PRINCE POSTER!
u have terrifying dreams that ur sister will smash ur cds in the night so u place them right in arms reach so she can't get that evil idea to come true
all ur photos in ur computer photo file r filled with pictures of Prince from the ORG! (thanks to 'nana!)
u can recite the entire Purple Rain script during the movie to the annoiance of all ur friends who r trying to watch.

ah haaa!
I know right! cause , I know i go on this site like every chance i get. I been on dis joint in computer class at skool -even tho we suppose 2 be on some other site! and summa da other people be like"...Prince..ain't he gay?" or " What is that?... "Prince has a website?" uggh they gettin' on my case

your forever buying cheap 2nd hand p cds coz it just doesnt seem right that EMANCIPATION or COME are THREE DOLLARS.....

ahem i have 5 copies of emancipation and 4 of come

U can only orgasm with a P song in the background.

U name your toes after different Prince charactors.

You use James Brown cds as coasters to hold your new Prince party mug.

When P stares on his For You album, you think he is secretly sending signals to U.

On Valentines day, you send Prince flowers, but forget your sweetie.

You would fuck even the bellhop at a hotel who once touched Prince's suitcase.

When you fart, you say, "forgive me Prince."

...You got on the computer to write your outline that's due tomorrow and look where you wound up...

I find myself naming my animals after his songs.
I had a cat named Scarlett
I have three kittens all named after Prince songs.
Jack- after the song Billy Jack Bitch
Nikki- after the song Darling Nikki
Lucy- from the song Starfish & Coffee

I figure that I should name them after something I love. Why not his music !

I like this Nikkigrrrll!

LOL, so true!

...you celebrate PRINCE'S birthday (ok, I don't do this, but know plenty of folks who do)

...you name your son Alexander, and try hard to convince the relatives to allow you to give him the middle name "Nevermind" (it didn't work ).

...you have all the Prince-related laserdiscs, even though you don't have a laserdisc player.

...you have tons of Prince-related vinyl (and continue to buy more) even though you don't have a turntable.

...your character in World of Warcraft is named "Rogersnelson" and is a purple troll.

...you have ever gone to the record store, found a rare Prince 12" or something, but not had enough money, so you hid it in a different section so no one else could get it before you came back!

...you have nearly gotten into a fight over rare vinyl at a record store with a friend, over who saw that Face Down promo in the stacks first.

...you only play CD-R copies of your Prince CDs in the car, "just in case" something were to happen to them... but you play all other artists' original CDs.

I like the ones about "and that says what" and other UTCM phrases being part of your vocabulary, reminds me of old friends who did that!

"And yes all Prince music is separated from other artist and is in year to date order.".
Well heck, that goes without saying!

....When ur kids get in the van and think theres something wrong cuz there isn't a Prince CD playing...

....When ur 9 year old makes himself a symbol...
