It's pretty funny what people come out with to me..
The last psychology lesson we had before breaking up in school, we had a pictionary game. Our team had to come up with bands for the other teams' drawer to do for their team to guess.
So anyway they looked at me like "Yeah, we don't want any of your wierd obscure bands like, errr, Placebo Clo!"
I was giggling away, so unaware of how seemingly obsessive I am! Yeah I got kinda miffed when people were pronouncing it 'Place-bo'
When they guessed Placebo later on in the game everyone was like "CHLOES BAND!"
I wish they were my band :p
There's been other occasions but have you any experiences?
I know what you mean! Every time theres charades or pictionary I choose something Placebo-ey and they always know its me. In my mates history class once someone tried to act out 'every you and every me ' and they were surprised i wasnt in the room. I am glad that people associated them with me tho lol! Luckily a few of my teachers and class mates like Placebo, so I'm not alone. But none of them are known by others to like them... I'm the only one that has been labelled as OBSESSED!!! MUAHAHAHA
*they are your band clo!
ALSO do you find everything reminds you of the band...argh! I'm crazy...a product of a broken home... ok, stop, Jenna! like in psychology my teacher mentions the word Placebo and all of my mates look at me. Also whenever someone mentions bi-sexuality or cross dressing, people look at me and someone says "must be one of Jenna's mates, or band people" (they don't say it nastily, just jokingly)
It's awesome how people can relate you to such an awesome band though isn't it?
It's like I went to a nightclub (bleh, on a Friday where the music is soooo far off Rock ) a guy in my year came up and said "HEY CLO! I'm telling ya, if they don't put on any Placebo, I'm goin' home!"
There's no way they'd play Placebo for the kind of people there on Fridays, but it was really sweet and funny that he said that to acknowledge my love!!!
I'm going to try some Placebo or David Brent next time I paly charades Jenna! Hrn, I think I'll try the Davis one first as that's funniest!
Oh yeah clubs NEVER play Placebo for me, not even rock-ish clubs, grrrrh! I ask every time, just incase they have some. i can get DJs to play ANYTHING, but they say thy have no Placebo! They have Hanson mmmbop though, and everyone danced to it.
I was in Halfords yesterday with my friend and thought she hadn't noticed that at the checkout i slipped a keyring in with my stuff, and all i here over my shoulder "Is that YOUR Brian then?"....i bought a numberplate keyring that said BR1AN on it to hang up in the car.....Yep i'm obsessed and damn proud of it too
Ah Cool! I want one when I get my car! I already named my guitar brian! hehe! oh and like all of my usernames (even on non-placebo forums) are jennamolko ... except this one ... strange... lol!
i was in a music shop with my mate, and being the tease he is, went over to me(i happened to be by the placebo Cds, but was looking at slipknot) and said "your buying more placebo CDs?" you already have the sleeping with thingie album, twice" (not my fault they brought it out twice, so i bought it for the covers)
he managed to find all the albums that said placebo and passed them, i was at the counter, but i bought OMWF(on CD) and i got called a placebo addict which sounded wrong, because he said that to the woman on the till.
"sorry, you might have to get more placebo, she's bought it all" plus i get called happy junkie. by him. but i didn't buy all the albums twice, exept for SWG.
the good thing about having a best mate obsessed with Hanson is that she knows she can't critisize or mock, but we can still have a joke about it, lol. Tbh, we fuel eachothers obsessions, cuz we both like eachothers bands and guys hehe!
Jen, when you said when your teacher said "Placebo" everyone would turn and look at you - that is exactly what happens to me lol!! and like when lines from songs i sing all the time like "special needs" are read out i'll get looks from everyone lol. and in jymnastics we're told to bring music in and my friends are like saying people like "Mclfy" and "Busted" and people - and then heather will look at me and go "Just- not placebo lol" lol - I'm glad to have the lable "Placebo obsessive" hehehehe

I stopped the car in front of one of the concrete posts and looked up and saw that someone had written in chalk....B 12.....and i was like "look Donna!!" B 12 !!!! that's what Brian had shot into his Ass (yeah i know he had to have a placebo) but all day i had this lovely veiw of his ass in my head.

Yes! I am also extremely proud of my label! It's the only "label" I could be proud of at the moment I'm always connecting things around me to stuff Bri says or the songs talk about. I managed to put Placebo on in the school hall before the panto and have a last dance around! hehe! was fun!

Ah many a time I have sported a glazed over look due to the ass shot that we all remember and treasure
My mum walked in while I was watching that once.... was funny! (to say the least) Do you think Brian would have included that clip if he knew we were all so sick, and that it would turn us on to see him having a shot in the ass! lol! ... "what a beautiful ass!"

..Hmm, if I can think of a good equivalent I'll ask if it can be edited. I'm not sure Brian would appreciate a male whore and, well, I'm not sure I'd be too willing a concubine.
Any suggestions?
