I have a serious medical condition. I didn't show up for classes two days in a row because of it. I have Brandon Flowers-itis. Jesus. I am obsessed beyond obsessed. I am, right now, the kind of person his bodyguard protects him from. Not to say that If I met him I would kill him. No, not in the red yet. But I might molest him. And that's not a good thing... for him. For those of my readers (all two of you) who don't know who Brandon Flowers is, he is the frontman of the band, The Killers. Also, he was voted sexiest man of all time (beating out Jesus and King Henry the II by a landslide). If you for some reason, don't like Brandon Flowers then maybe you should just leave. Because he's going to be my husband and it might be a little awkward for you. I'll wait.... gone? Good.
Anyway. My symptoms include Youtube-ing, itunes-ing, frequent rewinds on the Live DVD, hallucinations, heart palpitations, drooling, screaming, squealing, constipation (that could be a totally unrelated problem), and fainting.
I know what you're going to say. I should probably go to a doctor. But unless she's got a Brando clone in her office, I'm screwed. Or not. depending on how you use that word. I guess the best thing for me to do in this situation is to ride it out... why does everything I say sound like an innuendo? That must be another part of the disease. Help!
Hey, it must be contagious. I suffer from the same symptoms.
ReplyDeleteWe should really start a Brando-holics anonymous... I just can't get enough Brandohol.
ReplyDeleteAh yes. I'm far too familiar with this syndrome. We call it BranSanity.
ReplyDeleteI've been victim to it since 9/4/09 when he walked on stage in Boston and w/in a literal SECOND I was done. Gone. Obsessed at first sight. You couldn't even convince me there were other people on stage that night - were there? I can't be sure. They ceased to exist ;-p
Since then I too have been YouTubing, iTunesing, pic downloading, blog obsessing, I even started a FB group blaming him for my complete lack of productivity for the last 8 months. I have over a dozen new virtual friends who I spend literally - HOURS upon HOURS with obsessing over him.
I haven't even mentioned the Crush Crafts ;-p
And how does he thank us? How does he reward our devotion and lack of ability to do anything useful other than waste endless amounts of time on him ?
HE TAKES A BREAK THE BASTARD!!!!
I fell in love with Mr. Flowers in 8th grade. I saw the Mr.Brightside video and I was done. No man should look that good in lipgloss! It's been cycling for the last 5 years, there will be weeks when I can think about things that aren't him. But it gets worse when I find other people that I can relate to. Or should I say, better! I love obsessing. I finally got my best friend hooked, it feels great not being in the closet with my Flower Fever or BranSanity (I love that one!).
ReplyDeleteI hope to God the break doesn't last long. I don't think I can keep obsessing over the same pictures and songs for a great length of time... who am I kidding? The man could fall of the face of this earth today and on my death bed in 50 years I'll still be youtubing his old interviews.
Ok your timeline of your obsession just made me feel really, really OLD ;-p
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the break is making my obsessing WORSE. And there seems to be NO shortage of pictures of this man! He's only been famous for 6 years and not even Superstar Famous - yet every day I see dozens and dozens of new pics of him. Crazy.
He's so pretty.
I think the break is making it worse on all Flower Fanatics. The adage holds true, you want what you can't have. We all know there will be no new pics surfacing tomorrow of Brando decked out his latest crazy geddup that we will at first scratch our heads over, then come to love. And we are ravenous for them! I swear! If someone took a picture tomorrow of him getting his morning paper wearing pajama bottoms and a t-shirt I'd be like, "oh, Brandon is going casual for his next look. I LOVE IT." then I'd go out and buy matching pajama pants and wear them every day. Because that's how delusional I am. He needs to get back in that studio and Mrs. Jones needs to get on designing him a new look. Preferably with longer hair, maybe? I dig the fade and all, but rotation is good.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting some award in LA later this month. No confirmation that they'll be there, but I'm betting they will.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure changing diapers and emptying dishwashers all day has Brandon eager to get out there and "audition" some new looks!
And you wouldn't be the only one buying the same pajama pants as him, so don't feel bad ;->
5 Hershey's bars with almonds says Brandon wears some variation of the feathered jacket or his purple neon tiger hoodie.
ReplyDeleteBranSanity and Brandohol... so thats whats wrong with me! I too suffer from such symptoms =]
ReplyDeleteoh danica....i do recall that you have been infatuated with this man since....hmmm, practically since I've known you (for the most part, at least). I remember the look on your face when you would talk about him, and that smile that said "if he was right in front of me, I'd tie him up and make him mine". And as for the innuendo problem, innuendos are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI recall the time we were eating mint chocolate chip ice cream and put that Shell chocolate sauce stuff that hardens on the cold and our conversation was like "we have to wait until it's hard. It's not hard enough yet. It's making me hungry. Mmmmmm etc."
At least you don't have a friend who constantly says "that's what she said". And if you do, I'm sorry. The sad part about it is that even though she will say it almost every time we hang out....i always end up laughing at the most outrageously sexual ones.
here is something to get your mind off Brandon for a little while
