Once I start I can't stop!
(197) You have to explain to people that you can't just copy songs on a tape or CD for them...they must be mixed in just the right way because mixing is an art form.

The Boeings

Fuesalage
The Harriers
Blue Water
Heads Up Display
De-Icer
Afterburn
The Alerons
The Concords
(199) You have no time for anything else but you always find time to post here and download stuff off the HUB
(200) You hope your kids do not follow the prevailing music trend and branch out to hear and expierience something as cool as we did in the 80s.
(201) You think what is the big deal with Janet Jackson having a wardrobe malfunction when Siouxsie and Iggy Pop practically played full nude on stage.

(203) You survived High School on the logic of the characters portrayed by Anthony Micahel Hall
(204) You liked Kelly Lebrock for her accent as much as for her looks[:p]
(205) (this one is for nowhere girl) You introduce your 4 year old to New Wave by playing Altered Images "Happy Birthday" over and over again. Trust me they will eventually pick it up. [;)]
(206) You ever used "its an 80s New Wave thing" as an excuse in an argument with your spouse or significant other.
(207) When shopping for cranberries around the holidays you can't control yourself and sing these verses very quietly to yourself "you mean you forgot cranberries too...."

215) "Looks like the circus came to town" was a compliment to you and your friends(especially if you lived in a small town), similar to Kimiiii's post about "Hey Freak" comments.
216) Walking home from school, it was not unusual to have pennies and other objects thrown from car windows at you.
217) You ever used bleach to decorate your clothes or bought black Rit dye in bulk to dye your favorite thrift store finds.
218) You are shocked when you see New Wave icons(like Duckie)who have gone on to be extremely mainstream.
219) You have a favorite New Wave song for every occasion and situation that you at least think of when the situation happens.

You might be . . . . if you consider Hughes the most important filmmaker of all time; Orson Welles is just a fat guy who did wine commercials.

OMG!! I specifically went searching for a DJ for my wedding that played NW and I found this guy that used to work for 'LIR and his website had a big piece of cheese with a big 'X' across it...let me tell you, he was awesome!! He had everyone dancing (parents, grandparents, non-new-wavers, etc)...not one table was empty...and he only played NW!
Anyway, I digress....

A High School inspired list now that rewindmylife made me recall the High Scool years with her sneakers with the New Wave bands on it....
(230) Your School notebooks were filled with the correct type font of from all your favorite New Wave artists LP covers...as drawn by you with a black marker.
(231) Your book bag in High School could never possibly go through a metal detector because of all the New Wave pins on it.
(232) You wore black sneakers to GYM class
(233) The sexiest picure in your locker was Siouxsie Sioux if you were a guy and Robert Smith for the girls.
(234) For your senior prom you actually hand picked the people who would share the LIMO with you based on if they were a New Waver....no matter how cool the people were if they weren't New Wavers they were walking!
(235) When going on the school retreat you actually took more New Wave mix tapes with you than clothes.
(236) You were never popular but everyone knew you.
(237) Even though you love this great country of ours and put out the flag up for the 4th you felt really bad for the Brits in History class when the American Revolution section was covered.
(238)You never liked the 60's hippie teacher for going on about how the "British Invasion" was so great when all the while New Wave was happening.

239) A hairdresser ever chopped off more hair than you wanted them to while yelling at you for all the Aqua Net residue. But it was okay, because then at least you looked like Siouxsie...
240) You insisted that your bedroom walls be painted dark pink and gray when you were 13.
241) Your parents teased you by claiming they were gonna buy stock in Aqua Net.

YOU KNOW EVERY RAMONES SONG FROM THE FIRST 3 NOTES-EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST 3 NOTES TO EVERY RAMONES SONG IS THE SAME.
you thought "Girlfeind in a Coma" was one of Morrisey's happier songs.
You laugh at the notion that Green Day & Good Charlotte are PUNK!

245) Your mom teased you that your blue Mohawk, when not spiked up, made you look just like My Little Pony.
246) You ever started a new wave/punk music club at your high school with the club advisor being the one young teacher who had purple tinted hair and an earring(back when it was not common).
247) You learned to see through your bangs that reached down to your nose.
248) People moved away from you when riding public transportation and were actually scared of you.
249) You were asked to "tone down" your look for special family occasions, like weddings, or to wear a hat.
