To love fangirling

I'm currently fangirling over a male celebrity - so am doing the usual - looking up every YouTube clip of him that's ever been recorded ... Looking up every internet nugget about him.

I was attracted to him cos of his good looks - coincidentally we appear to have had similar upbringings in SOME ways from what I've read!!

Ah there's worse ways to spend a weekday evening !!

Autocorrect at first changed 'similar' upbringings to 'solidarity' upbringings - as far as I know neither of us was brought up by a 1980s Polish political party ....

Is it Bruce Springsteen?

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 21:51

No Yvaine! Thought he was more 80s?

Nah, was around for donkey's years before he had hits in the 80s.

YvaineStormhold · 17/08/2016 21:53

Hmmmmm...Marc Bolan?

David Bowie?

spankhurst · 17/08/2016 21:56

David Essex?
Gary Numan?

Unless your turning up outside their house naked I think your ok Smile

Not for me, never has been - but can spend hours googling organisation techniques and tips feel a bit sad now and think I may need to get out more

Oh god, fangirl used as a verb! My eyes!! Grin

Like, genuinely though, what do you actually mean by it?

Watching videos on YouTube?

timelytess · 17/08/2016 22:00

I do this. I'm over 50. I work on the principle that I can do what the heck I like. He knows I have a fairly obsessive interest and doesn't seem to mind. I've never turned up at his house though he did once give me his address so perhaps I ought to have...

I am fangirling one american actor. Following on fb/twitter/instagram, bought all the dvds i could get of films he was in (some of them BAD beyond imaginable), read his book. Finally, when i found out that he was coming to an event in UK last year, i went to meet him for real. He has the most unforgettable eyes.

Oh, and i'm 33.

Woohoo - one or two excellent guesses!!

He did imo, have the face - excellent facial features and body to have been a top fashion model. In fact the more photos/ footage I see of him, I'm surprised he wasn't signed to a fashion label. Clothes looked great on him!

Yvaine - seems my musical knowledge isn't that hot then!

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:15

Nataleejah - that's great you got to meet him and that he lived up to your expectations!!

OP posts:
YvaineStormhold · 17/08/2016 22:16

I still think Bowie

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:17

Tbh, Kalispera - it can incorporate a wide range of activity from going to concerts etc to just watching every time they're on TV...

OP posts:
WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:18

No Yvaine - your closest guess imo was Bolan but it's not him!!

OP posts:
timelytess · 17/08/2016 22:21

Adam Ant.

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:23

No timely - but can I say that is definitely the closest guess!!!

OP posts:
WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:24

harderandharder - sounds like a balanced attitude!!

OP posts:
timelytess · 17/08/2016 22:24

Nick Rhodes?

JaneJeffer · 17/08/2016 22:25

Rod Stewart?

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:26

timely - haha maybe the address giving was a coded invitation !!

OP posts:
WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:27

No to both the above - strictly in 70s - not 80s!!

OP posts:
timelytess · 17/08/2016 22:28

Not so coded... it was followed by 'Come round...' Can't believe I didn't. But then, when he suggested we had sex a few weeks ago, I didn't do that either... I am so, so stupid....

JaneJeffer · 17/08/2016 22:29

I'm really hoping it's not Gary Glitter Shock

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:31

OMG - if you wanted to ... then why not? Aw!!! Still I passed up an offer from a really fit guy a year or so ago cos an ex had come back on scene - I really regret it. :(
