All I can say is that California is an easy place to be an obsessed Cure fan...

*You've flown to another continent to see The Cure in concert.
*...EVEN THOUGH YOU ONLY HAD LAWN SEATS.
*...THAT YOU PAID HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR.
*You're in California right now, on the lawn, on your laptop, watching Duran Duran as you wait for The Cure to come out.
*Your laptop just got stolen by a girl with Flock of Seaguls hair and now she's reading this checklist.
*Hi, girl with Flock of Seaguls hair.
*Oh yeah, anyway...the girl probably came here for Soft Cell and doesn't realy care about The Cure, so she's returned her laptop to you. Hi, welcome back. Could you bring me back a tee shirt'
*So, anyway, I'm sorry, I'm wasting your valuable time, here...
*You smear red lipstick all over your face and tease your hair up, even if you're not leaving the house.
*You've pissed on Billy Idol.
*You've pissed in Julianne Shnabel's bathtub.
*You wear a giant Zorro hat like Simon.
*You've memorized the 'Why Can't I Be You'' dance.
*You know who Bill is.
*BONUS POINTS: ...You just thought to yourself, 'Does she mean 'big saucer eyes' Bill or 'Perry's pet bunny' Bill''
*You go by a name in a Cure song, such as Charlotte, Fuschia, Wendy, etc., not just on the net, but in REAL LIFE.
*You know ANYTHING AT ALL about Andy Anderson, Matthieu Hartley, Phil Thornally, Mick Dempsey, or even Jason Cooper, in all reality.
*Hmmm...I was just informed that you miserable bastards that attended the Cure show in California made it into the pit. Well FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
*Sorry, that was just my raging jealousy taking over. I'm okay now. I still hate you, but I'm okay.
*Alrighty, where were we...You know what kind of lipstick Robert Smith uses.
*...You bought all the tubes you could find and wear exclusively that shade.
*...You're a guy.
*You believe that any man can be improved with eyeliner and red lipstick.
*You've given someone a Robert Smith makeover.
*You've given many people Robert Smith makeovers.
*...Against their will.
*You don't require a Robert Smith makeover because that's what you look like every day.
*You've dressed up as a Cure member for Halloween.
*BONUS POINTS: You've dressed like a Cure member for Halloween, and it wasn't Robert.
*SUPER BONUS POINTS: You've dressed up as an obscure ex-Cure member for Halloween
*Whenever someone types 'lol' in an IM convo or e-mail, you automatically assume they're reffering to the short, fat, primate-esque ex-drummer.
*You feel guilty about your love of The Smiths.
*Yo u write Cure slash.
*You subscribe to the idea that Cure fan fiction is slash by default.
*If you ever come across a piece of Cure fan fiction isn't slash, you feel disoriented and scared.
*You've gone onto thecure.com, looked at Robert's list of favorite stuff, gone straight to the musicians, been REALLY proud of yourself when you came across something you listened you, and then went directly to amazon.com and immidiately bought everything else that was on the list that you didn't already own.
*...Same with the movies, books, etc.
*You've memorized all the in-between bits of Staring at the Sea and Picture Show.
*You've re-created the wheelchair scene from Staring at the Sea.
*You look for hidden meanings in Cure songs/videos.
*...You've found a bunch.
*...They're all horribly filthy.
*You believe that the muppet that lives in David Bowie's pants goes on holiday to Simon's pants. I think it does, I mean, hasn't everyone seen that picture'
*...You know which picture I meant just now.
*...You're looking at it RIGHT NOW.
If you're guilty of more than 10 of these, e-mail one or both of us immidiately because you need to be our friend very, very badly.
And I want to add to it.
* You know you are obsessed when you work your ass of to pay rent and then go and sleep out on concrete for tickets and tv shows.
* When you are willing to drive by yourself to a concert to meet pple you only met the day before because they are already cure family.
* When you will wear pink laces with your all black outfit
* When you carry around pix of you and the band in your wallet like they are family
* You got a backstage and it's no suprise that you know more than half the pple back there from other cure events.
* You want to dye your hair blue and act like Rob's best friend.
* The security guards are friendly to you because they recognize you
