U2start.com | You know you listen to too much U2 when...

When the inside of your head sounds like an insane mega-mashup of every single U2 song possible... all the time

When you re-name a horse MacPhisto - and get irritated when people don't get the reference ¬.¬

When you get cross with people 'cause they don't know Adam's or Larry's name (or which instrument they play) even though you must have told them a million times :/

The fishmonger gives you strange looks and asks you if you're alright after you spend far too long contemplating the lemons on the counter - and you reply with... "Oh yeah - I was just thinking about U2" (The strange looks now turns to concern) xDD

When your English teacher asks your class to write a review of something, turns to you and lists of all the U2 things you CANNOT use; concerts, albums, books............

When you watch Project Runway and everytime Heidi Klum says "This is a competition for you too" to the models you always hear "U2".

That is QUITE the interesting order, there! Hah. Love every song on the list, but in that order? I think the dentist would have to re-wire my jaw after it froze in a dropped position after a show like that!

EDIT:

Scanned it again,

Staring At The Sun
Wake Up Dead Man
With Or Without You
City Of Blinding Lights
Sunday Bloody Sunday
No Line On The Horizon
Until The End Of The World

is really doing it for me

Your physics teacher is discussing elliptical orbits, and drawing diagrams on the board, and all you see is the Vertigo arena stage, over and over and over again...

When everytime you see a car plate (that means virtually all the time you're on the street), you try to do combinations with the numbers and recall shows with that numbers. The plate "XXX 0828" (no matter the letters before) means Dublin 1993-08-28, and the plate 2702 means Lakeland '92

Makes me go crazy and my head aches.

Then I start making chord combinations with the letters and/or numbers of that same plates. For example, "FGC 0122" means a F, G, C, Am progression, which is very nice to play and hear. (PS. The Am comes from the 0122 numbers, only if you play guitar and read tabs you'll understand it

)...

When you find a full plate, it makes your day. For example, "GCD 0123" means a G, C, D, Fmaj7 progression (another nice one), and moreover it contains the awesome 1981-01-23 Belftast show.

I'm fucking crazy, I know.

Haha, I am guilty of that one. I once walked a good half an hour working my way through ATYCLB a few years ago.

Also listening to studio versions and you expect a Blackbird snippet, or a Shine Like Stars. They never come.

scary, isn't it?

sometimes I walk the streets and look into other people's faces and I wonder just how many of them are listening to their own "mind jukebox" that very moment LOL insane

.....when you go to see U23D again today, and all the while during the Vertigo show you get goosebumps trying to imagine how insanely magnificent the 360° show would be as a 3D movie

You know you listen to too much U2 when...
