Fan competition

Got all the usual albums, DVDs etc. Currently collecting rare stuff from wherever I can.

Seen the band 9 times, including O2 and that naff TV programme last year, Saturday Night LIve Again, plus seen Richie once on a solo tour. Usually only see them once per tour as I've got two kids, hence rather poor. Booked golden circle for next year though.

Got 2 Bon Jovi related tattoos - Superman on left arm (of course!) and Smirk on right shoulder.

Would love heart and dagger, also 'who dares wins'.

I've listened to She's A Mystery twice. Now that is dedication.

Haha, now thats being a die hard fan if you listen to the same song twice... lol

Did Richie enjoy the DVD you got for him?

Firstly, I'm obsessed with their music. Once you get to know me, you soon realise that. And it shows in many ways. Atlough I do go thru short phases where I stop listening to them, most of the time they are the band I will play, and play, and play, and play...big style.

I loved them at age 6-7. I remember hearing Always at some point, not sure what age I was but I was YOUNG..think it was at 6 or 7. I actually listened to the words, and kept commenting on them. I remember asking "...why would he only could lie for her, but he would die for her?" lol, I found it strange. But I knew from that day I wanted that song at my funeral. Yeah, pretty depressing really to think that at the age, but there you go. My sister was already a fan at the time, in the 90's era, and I made her put on all BJ CD's she had. And I loved them even then. Didn't know what they looked liked or anything. I later watched...I think it was Wanted video...and being like totally stuck to the screen, and I taped it and watched it over. Sadly I then went thru the, boyband/girlband/pop stage.

Then at some point, around...12, I think I saw something on VH1, their greatest hits or something. I watched it, and fell totally in love. With their music...and er, with Jon's looks.From that point I never ever looked back, and they have been apart of me ever since (wow...I really do sound obsessed)

I listen to them/watch them, pretty much every single day. Apart from when I go thru those lil phases where I need a break.

I don't think I go a whole day, without mentioning them...a lot.

When I started high school, I tippex'd "BON JOVI" and random BJ lyrics all over my school bag. I got quite a lot of stick for that, from the...let's say Chavs, and big Heavy Meatl types, that called them "posers". I also did essay's/presentations on them any given chance. People knew me as "Bon Jovi girl" when they didn't actually know my name. LOL. My friends' nicknamed me "Spandex" because of my love for them, and ... their Spandex days I guess. That also came from when I got into The Darkness too, they assumed I must have a Spandex fetish.

I used to have a shrine to them in my bedroom. Posters, cutting-out's, calanders, etc. but my ex ex didn't like it, so I took it down, LOL. And then I re-decorated, and mum didn't let me re-doe it. I think it might make a re-apparance soon.

T-shirts, etc. and worn in public. And that's a big thing, because it doesn't always get the appreciation it deserves :P

Had argument over argument, about BJ and how great they are, to non-believers. It always ends up in me getting angry, and them thinking I'm a psycho. But it's cool. In my mum's words "you take it so personally, it's like their family or something" Hell yeah! Ha ha.

For the concert in June, I'm thinking about doing something crazy...I'm just not sure what yet (any ideas?)

MIGHT get a small tattoo in honour of them one day.

Spent literally all money I had, and the next lot I'm getting, on seeing them this year. I HAD to.

Got anybody I've "been with" into them, at least for a while. My ex ex is now just as big of a fan as me, I think. I was trying for ages to get him to listen to them, because I knew he'd appreciate them. He then bought all their stuff, learned how to play some songs on guitar, etc. and they've been inspiring him with song writting. Also got my mum into being a fan, and now she's coming with me to Twickenham.

Umm... whenever I see anybody in the street, that may remotely resemble Jon, or any band memeber...my eyes are there right away. As if they'd be in Norwich

I've had to come to terms, I'm not gonna get Jon Ha ha, don't hate me.

Did I do good? There's more where that came from. Oh dear.
