You have developed the ‘Backstreet instinct’. This is a bit hard to define but most agree that it is the uncanny ability to sense whenever bsb is on TV, either a music video, old rerun of a concert or *gasp* some breaking news. Few fans have also developed this ‘sixth sense’ even further in that they can know when a bsb song is playing on the radio.
You have added all words pertaining to bsb to your word program’s dictionary e.g. Backstreet boys, howie, bsb etc., because you’re tired of getting errors every time you type them.
Your mother or father (or anyone else) always interrupts you anytime a bsb related show is on tv – even if it was just the burger king ad (ok, I know this was a long time ago but just trying to illustrate a point). You could practically bet a million dollars that they’ll come and ask you to do something when you are in rapture, with your mouth wide open, drool dripping down your clothes.
You have pictures of your favourite bsb stuck in your organizer, folder and some tiny pictures in your pencil case.
When you get a paper or something in school, you write your first name and then the last name of your favourite bsb.
Everyone
in school knows that you’re a huge BSB fan (in fact, the biggest!)
Your mother even tells you before you know, that they’re going to be on tv on some day and you rush to mark it on the calendar (I did this for the cbs special!)
You spend at least half your internet time going to bsb sites.
You are ecstatic when you talk to someone on icq who has actually gone to a BSB concert.
You’ve planned out exactly how you’re gonna act on that glorious day when you finally get to meet them.
Although you’ve seen that old concert millions of times and probably have it on tape, you still get small shivers when you look at it again (come on, who can resist the homecoming concert or the Disney concert?)
Anytime you hear a cell phone ring, you immediately think about the beginning of 'The Call'.
When you first heard about Destiny Child's song 'Bootylicious', you first thought about Nick!
When you and your friend decide to call your friend's pen the 'Official Backstreet Boys Pen' just because it's black and blue.
You download a BSB desktop and screensaver.
Every time someone says the words black and blue, your first thought is of the album Black and Blue so you're confused when they're really talking about something else.
When someone says the words 'more than that' you think about the song.
You sit at your computer just waiting for your BSB screen saver to come on.
You take the time to make an entire website about them!
