you know you're an elliott fan when...

[armada]

any time you're at a bar and you hear someone yell "last call!" your brain inevitably answers with "he was sick of it all..."

:-D

[armada]

if you see anyone's name spelled "elliot" or "eliott" or whatever, it JUST LOOKS WRONG.

[armada]

you get all excited whenever anyone sings "oh my darlin, oh my darlin..." cause you're thinking "you're an ELLIOTT fan too?!"

you want to name your first born Elliott, regardless of the sex.

i always do that and i don't really know why. i think its maybe because i think the person next to me will notice, then, intrigued, have a look after i've gone and buy the album on the strength of the cover (like i did with either/or)

That *is* a good one!

Best i can say would be...

You say to yourself "i think i'm ready to get into a serious relationship with a girl who likes Elliott Smith" like its an especially important part of the bond that she does.

that's great! this thread = :yes:
I forget who it was, but they found out about elliott by picking up a CD that dropped out of their teacher's bag as they were walking down the hall. The person later returned it, as they were actually friends with the teacher or something.

I haven't had any "converts" so far :grump: ... i'm just a bad salesman, even if the "product" kicks ass :\ It's slightly depressing.

I put two Elliott songs in a song analysis paper I did for my psychology class. Didn't convert my teacher, though. :/ I fail!

[InIndigoShadows]

I think that if you get annoyed when you're listening to Elliott on the bus ride to school and someone tries to talk to you, and you pretend you can't hear them even though you fully realize that the song can be played again or paused, you're probably a fan of his.

[Redroses9]

you haven't stopped listening to Elliott since you first heard his music..in my case since last may...I swear ...I haven't stopped:-o I think I might have some addiction issues here...oh and I have been considering more and more how nice the name Elliott is and how my child would be thrilled to be named after Ell...I even like that little nickname...Ell...and at this point I can't even say his name in front of people because that is all they ever hear out of my god-forsaken mouth...ELLIOTT SMITH!!! I don't even say his name in front of my friend Jay anymore...he's just like "whadya listenin to?" and I'm like "you know!":-D

[Sound_of_Silence]

You consider incorporating a line from one of his songs into an essay you're writing in hopes that your teacher will magically be a huge fan as well so you can spend hours upon hours talking about him and his music.....which is very beneficial for the event that Sweet Nothing brought up about them catching onto the fact that you have a crush on them.....:-o

i can't finish this post. i am literally getting tears in my eyes.

I have a date with a girl that I don't know much at all about tonight. In situations like this, I will usually discuss work, free time activeties, then "Do you like Elliott Smith?" If the answer is no.... then the date is pretty much over.

what if the answer is: "who?" or "i'm not really sure" or "yeah, he's pretty good?" because these are probably more likely than either "no" or "i'm his biggest fan."

are you gonna tell us how it went? ;)

You know you're an Elliott Smith fan when you exitedly tell your friends that you made a joke on here mildly Elliott related and people laughed... and you friends *HAD* to know and then understand the joke.

Or it could just be me being a boring person to hang out with.

Sorry. The next time I've got an open bottle of wine in my hands I'll lock my computer in a box.

i've had some rather strange questions regarding elliott though...once at work, someone saw my old wallpaper and said "is that bob dylan?" and then days later someone else asked if it were "keith richards?" [grrrrr]
someone once said, "oh, yea, he was in the cars, right?" grr...no, i'm not referring to elliot easton!

[tatena]

Oh wow, almost all 6 pages apply to me... (I am such a dork).

Okay, you know you're an Elliott fan when...
1) You dance around your yard blasting Amity on the stereo knowing full well that your neighbors are not only watching, but incredibly annoyed that this is the 8th time this week. You turn it up.
2) You write an elliott lyric with his name next to it on a desk in every class you have in hopes you'll open some person's mind to his genius and beauty.
3) You're too young to get a tattoo, so instead have no less than 3 elliott references sharpied on your person at any given time.
4) You throw things at your younger sibling because, although she is obsessed with Elliott and you support that, she only started liking him because he is incredibly hot.
5) When stuck at a stoplight you roll down your window and play elliott really loud in hopes the car over will ask who it is.
6) You sharpie "Listen to Elliott Smith" on complete strangers.
7) When you pick up a guitar your friends take it away and say, "You can have it back when you promise to play something BESIDES elliott smith..."

-When everyday you re-apply the Elliott-inspired figure 8 onto your right wrist (sharpies are genius)... and you'll continue to do so until you're able to get inked.

-When you choose to review "either/or" in the Entertainment section of your expository writing project (fake newspaper) in hopes that your classmates/your teacher/the people who'll be in the class next year will read it and be interested enough to check him out.

I would just like to take the time to mention that my teacher chose to put me on the newspaper staff next year (she's the sponsor)... so next year I'll definitely be talking about his music as much as possible. Surely someone on staff will be interested enough to check him out

in any case-if you found yourslef celebrating his birthday the other day that ought to have sealed the deal. especially if said celebration involved listening to lots of his music and eating icecream as a tribute.
if you find yourself telling people "i know him/her through the elliott board" that oughtta be a good clue,too.

i knew i was an elliott fan as soon as i heard either/or- i thought "what the fuck is this? it is so beautiful! yes!it is good!" and that was that.

hey, you should be proud. one friend absolutely hates him in every possible way, musically (tried to get her into FABOTH first (it was the first one I'd heard) and she didn't mind it). then gave her some either/or and self-titled. (she hated them and didn't have any problem explaining her reasoning, which to me made no sense). another friend says he's good for his genre but just "not her type of music" and another one (who i only converted because all my sister and her friend (who is also a fan) talked about was Elliott) got into him through overhearing my twin's conversations about this "amazing musician named Elliott Smith that my sister and I like" in art class. ;) anyway, i believe i've already explained enough about the friend who had a negative response listening to self-titled and either/or, so i don't think i'll delve into that any further. it pisses me off just thinking about it, with some of the things my friend said...

you go to every open mic night at every bar/coffee house and ask every person playing if they know any elliott smith and after they think about it for a good 30 seconds and tell you "no, they dont THINK so" you disgustedly mumble to your friends that the poor jerk probably hasn't even heard of him and after hearing what they have to play you think maybe it's better this way anyhow

you contemplate making your family studies professor a mix-cd of elliott's songs that pertain to his family relationships, as an excuse to expose her to Elliott's greatness... but then back out because you think she might catch on that you have a crush on her ... just, you know, all hypothetical and all
:-o :-o

you're a fucking nerd

and so gay

[oh my]

I have a few:

When other fans misspell his name, I get upset

I've decided that if we were to have been friends, I would have nick-named him Smelliott

I get [really] upset when people bad mouth him

I live in LA, so I get all melancholy and teary-eyed when I drive by Solutions!

I kiss his CDs

Haha...OMG. I call my cat that I named "Elliott" Smelliott on a daily basis. :lol:

It's such a great nickname.

When your co-worker is having a baby boy in June and posts a sheet outside her office asking for baby name suggestions and everyone else posts silly names (to be cute) and you are the only sincere one when you suggest "Elliott (two L's, two T's don't settle for less)".

When another co-worker tells you their son is going to Hampshire College in the fall and you get all exasperated and excited and they look at you as if your reaction is a little over-the-top.

well Hampshire is really expensive
;)yeah, it is and my co-worker who works for non-profit museum and doesn't earn much and her husband (children's librarian who doesn't earn much) with 2 other kids couldn't afford it...Hampshire is apparently giving him full assistance (from a few sources), so they are having to pay virtually nothing for him to go there. it is really good for them (Hampshire) though as he is a super smart, politically aware and artistic kid...the kind of kid i would want if i wanted kids.

You drunkenly tell the drunk girl you just kissed "if you like elliott smith I'm totally gonna marry you"

Girl: "Oh I love elliott smith!"

Adam: "Consider us engaged"
