Don't worry, weirdness makes life more interesting ;D Talking of creepy obsessive fandom, i just remembered a very shameful PW-related object i own... I don't want to say (But don't worry, it's not an armpit hair!!! ) Oh please spill! Worst thing it could be is like... loo roll? And yeah i guess weirdness is good, just hoping i'v changed loads, i mean i'm not that bad anymore.. ;D

so it was you Cat who stole the vulture cape! ;D you naughty girl I stole Patrick's waterbottle at the last show...but only because I was thirsty and too much of a cheapskate to buy a drink there... ;D erm and to release the feeling of empathic embarrassment you're experiencing right now while reading this: he hadn't drunk from it...I'm not that weird and creepy ;D and he didn't see me snatch it haha

No, I do not have a Patrick Wolf dildo!!!!!! And no, it's not the Vulture cape, i would never steal from Patrick It's not the thing itself thats bad, it's just the fact that i kept it... (and it's worse than stealing his bottle!) Ok i'll tell you... it's a plastic fork he dropped on the ground 2 years ago BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT - I didn't pick it up!!!!!! Let me explain... The first time i met him i went over to talk to him as he was coming out the van. He was carrying loads of stuff and he dropped a plastic fork. So i picked it up for him, but he said it didn't matter so i dropped it again. Then he went inside and my friend said i should go and pick up the fork! And i said "no way, that is TOO sad!!!!!". I kept refusing so she said she would pick it up for me! I told her not to - it was too sad, but i couldn't stop her! It was hilarious - it was outside McDonalds, there were loads of people watching and she went over, picked a plastic fork off the ground and came back grinning and holding it out to me like it was something amazing. Everyone was just looking at her like "What the hell???" So... em... i couldn't exactly throw it away could i? (I probably would now but back then i was a bit more of a sad obsessed fan ) I don't exactly treasure it or anything - i remember about it occasionally and send my friend a message saying "Remember the fork - haha!!!!!!" Patrick must NEVER find out!!! Maybe i should throw it out, it must seem so pathetic! Please don't judge me And Chelsea, that's a really nice colour It's quite Magic Position-ish. But it's not necessarily Patrick-ish, he's not the only person in the world who's had red hair (it's not even red now) Edit: I can't believe i posted this, now you'll all think i'm a pathetic obsessed fan (well i am obsessed but i don't want to be pathetic) But i'd completely forgotten i had it and i am very ashamed Anyway it's all my friend's fault, i didn't even want her to pick it up

Aww its really not that bad! Given the chance, i'm sure i'd do a lot worse ;D The temptation would have been too much to go and pick up that little fork!
I'm pretty sure some people on here have got weirder things anyway..

And Chelsea, that's a really nice colour It's quite Magic Position-ish. But it's not necessarily Patrick-ish, he's not the only person in the world who's had red hair (it's not even red now) Yeah but my friends think Patrick Wolf = Red Hair... So when i whipped out my phone and relived the last concert (*major lie* i dont do that often...) they get confused when his hairs whatever colour it was when i saw him, which like was a dark purple or black or something. They should be screaming PATRICK WOLF HAIR at my friend who went with me, she has dark purple hair...(we are weird children who like having weird hair colour, no gingery-red or blondes or browns here...) No, I do not have a Patrick Wolf dildo!!!!!! And no, it's not the Vulture cape, i would never steal from Patrick It's not the thing itself thats bad, it's just the fact that i kept it... (and it's worse than stealing his bottle!) it's a plastic fork he dropped on the ground 2 years ago BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT - I didn't pick it up!!!!!! Let me explain...

Patrick must NEVER find out!!! Maybe i should throw it out, it must seem so pathetic! Please don't judge me I'm not judging at all, as long as you don't eat with it or its in a little display case, that would be like edward cullen level on the stalk-o-meter... I can understand why you can't throw it away, its like a symbol of your friend's devotion to you and their understanding of your old super obssessed ways...

Well, this little plastic fork totally made my day. At least you care for the environment. I really love these fan stories. Some days ago I had quite similar thoughts about the (what is it in english?!) about the tie/gum band around the merch tour poster, because WILLIAM wrapped it around. This is even more embarrassing!

I'm glad you don't all think i'm insane Haha, Patrick must never find out though!!! (Earlier this year i accidentally told Dan from The Feeling i still had his towel from 5 years ago... woops it's because i was so nervous meeting him properly for the first time! But i don't think i'd ever accidentally blurt out something like to Patrick (i hope!!!!) - i don't really get as nervous around him anymore). Does anyone have anything more embarrassing than the fork? (Someone must...) (This thread is getting a bit off-topic - maybe we should start an embarrassing fandom confessions thread! ) Btw Hanna, it's called an elastic band Haha at least i'm not the only one who's that obsessed

What was he like when you met him? And i think i'm the one with the problem with stalking men who happen to be gay... i don't even realise it when i start liking them, honest! My friends think i'l never get a boyfriend because i never pick guys who are actually straight, its a bit of a problem

^ lol ;D gosh I'm the same... "actually straight" xD that would make a great film title ;D Patrick Wolf, Owen Pallett, Dan from the Feeling. Cat, are you a musical fag hag? half of the girls on this board probably are haha...at least I always get that impression ;D <--- another Patrick Wolf fan stereotype? at least many are concerned with gender issues and gay rights etc. (even if not gay) great, now I feel like Debbie from queer as folk...

Patrick Wolf, Owen Pallett, Dan from the Feeling. Cat, are you a musical fag hag? Em... gay guys tend to write the best music and i tend to get rather obsessed with musicians i like... i didn't know Dan or Patrick were gay when i started liking them though (we all seem to have this problem!!!! ) I used to LOVE Dan from the feeling, i adored him! What was he like when you met him? I've met him 3 and a half times actually... when i was 13 or 14 i was majorly obsessed with The Feeling (and yes, it was my lifetime ambition to marry Dan ) And even though i love Patrick's music so much more now, i never stopped loving The Feeling one bit ;D (The half-time was a really stupid shouted conversation with them when i was 15, during which i screamed "I love you!!!" (I was trying to say how much i loved their music but it came out wrong - i really hope they don't remember) ) I met Dan properly for the first time in February (it was my 7th show - i'd been waiting 5 years to meet him!!!) - he was really lovely He shook hands with me and listened to all my nervous ramblings and let me take a picture with him. I nearly managed to avoid telling him about the towel, but as he was leaving i somehow ended up blurting it out In the summer i happened to be going to London with my parents the same week The Feeling played Kew Gardens (where we were going to go anyway!) That day my mum ended up discovering a hothouse which was backstage so i hung around there listening to the soundcheck and i got to meet them all as they came out I only met Dan for a few seconds, i said something like "i don't know if you remember me..." and he said he did remember me (probably as that crazy girl with his 5 year old towel! ) I got to talk to Richard and Ciaran for longer - they were both so nice And someone gave me Dan's cup at the end, but it went mouldy a while later so i actually threw it out! My 13 year old self would never have dreamed of doing that And then in October when they came to Glasgow i waited all afternoon outside the venue (a couple i met at Kew Gardens were also there - they follow them round on tour and were at their 45th show!!! 9 shows seems like nothing compared to that ) I met them all going in and at the end they all came out to talk to us, which was really nice And now Dan and Richard finally know who i am ;D Both of them gave me a hug goodbye - they didn't hug anyone else! (But this other girl was like "i want a cuddle!" so Richard had to hug her too!) Oh, I just remembered there was this really weird woman who had Dan's autograph tattooed on her arm!!! So, yeah at least i'm not that bad And i'm going to their Christmas show in London next month ;D (Which means i'll make my 10th show by the end of the year!) Sorry for that huge story, that's what happens when you mention The Feeling to me! This thread really has nothing to do with PW fan stereotypes any more!!!

Aww that sounds so lovely ;D It must be so good to actually have someone from a band remember you! And did you wash the towel by the way/was it used? I havn't really listened to the feeling in ages, i'm just embarassed over my old days of obsessing over them and their music, i think i'v moved on And yeah i think liking gay guys is a bit of a Patrick fan stereotype, i don't even know why.. it just seems kind of addictive how someone can be adorable and sweet and quite attractive at the same time

Well i'm sure all of us are at least a tiny bit in love with Patrick, which makes us all either fag hags or gay guys!! I guess that's why they're stereotypes I don't think i'd like a guy who was really macho, i'd prefer someone sweet and not afraid to show emotion (but that doesn't have to mean gay!) Btw i don't really have a thing for gay guys, just because i like 3 musicians who're gay! Em no i never washed the towel... and yes it was used When i was 13 it was like my most prized possession! I unashamedly love The Feeling ;D ("Don't fear the cheese" - i'm sure i remember Dan saying that once! ) When i discovered Patrick's music i stopped listening to anything else for nearly a year, but then i started listening to all my old music again and i realised i would always love it (even if it's not as special to me as Patrick's music). But i'm not as crazy-fangirl obsessed with them now, it's more i just really like their music. Yeah it's so nice that Dan and Richard finally know who i am! I think i actually like Richard a bit too now, he's so nice! (And he's not gay... but he is married to Sophie Ellis Bextor! ) But yeah, i only like him a tiny bit (and it doesn't even bother me that him and Dan aren't single)

Em no i never washed the towel... and yes it was used Didn't it... smell? And yeah, I dunno i guess i just feel bad about these things and i always hated saying my music taste included Patrick AND The feeling.. i think i confused people And i agree with you about men, i'm not into muscle-y/manly types much Aw that video is so cute and Dan seems so sweet and quiet on it! I can feel my obsession coming back.. he is lovely though ;D

Despite what people like to think most gay men actually despise feminine and androgyne men, which is a shame since most of the artists I like are gay and androgynous (Patrick Wolf, Owen Pallett, Jonsi/Jonsi&Alex, Antony Hegarty, Nico Muhly - I could go on). I shall be alone forever , oh well! Has anybody heard of Andrej Pejic? (Google him!)

Haha, i'd never seen that video It didn't smell bad (but it did have some stains...) It actually had quite a distinctive smell - when i used to do taekwondo, the toilets in the sports centre had soap which smelt just like Dan's towel, so i guess it must have smelt of soap! Em... this conversation's starting to get weird My music taste has always been really random, one of my favourite bands is the Gipsy Kings - they were the first band i ever liked and all i would listen to from the age of 9-13 because i hated "pop music"!!! Random music taste is awesome ;D Maybe this will rekindle your love

I just googled him and i was wondering why it came up with pictures of a woman... then i realised!

I saw that guy from The Feeling in some kind of situation I found myself in when I was in London at some kind of after-party for something I didn't attend. Or something. It was odd.
London is the only place I've ever found myself in such a situation haha
Stereotype - lovers of the fairytale that is London?
