I went on this School from January to June 2000 and again 2001. |
I was going on the team of Big girls that would try to loose some weight. I did also loose about 16 Pound. But it only last 2 years before I gain all of them on again. Three week before the school was over my teacher came and
ask me if I would be kind enought to have a 30 minutes lecture of what it like being a fan. In front of around 50 people which is the entire school. So I did. I was very nervous and a bit scared too. |

| Mostly because how would people react on the topical. Would I be scared of or would they be kind to me. But it went okay. Some of them were a bid disappointed I did talk more about Cliff Richard then I did.
But as my teacher explains to them it was not about who Cliff is. But as said in the begging it was a lecture of what it means to be a fan in general. And not so much about the artist that is the reason why some one became a fan. Now there almost went 4 years since then. And I thought it might be an interesting topical to share with you my friends here on the web. It started as follow.

Good morning everybody. I’m going to talk about what it means to be a fan. You all might have seen people sitting in front of their telly watching football. Imaging you has passing a Window and you see 2 guys with their red and white T-shirt and a clap hat on. |
And they often tender also to have beers in their hands. Suddenly one of them gets up and shout aggressive. And say something like when Michael Laudrup misses a goal. You might shake your head and think that he must be mad.
How can Michael hear you shout that to him? When you are sitting at your home and watching him in the telly. |

And you might also wonder what is so much entertainment about see 11 men runs around On the felt and beat the ball. And for some people that happen every weekend. But the rush they get is the same kind you see when young girl scream at their Idols. We all have properly try being in that same situation like those 2 men. Without thinking so much about it. |
| But when the game is over, we forgetting all about it. And continue do what we else like to do. But for some people it doesn’t stop there, it becomes fascinating about the game or the artist so it develop into an interesting where we go more in depth. In away that you might, wanted to know more about the teams of the games. And you might also choose one of them as your favourite. Just like any fan of music artist would do. |
| Why Cliff Richard, that is a very commend question, that came from a person who doesn’t understand, why someone like me, can become fascinations of that specific Singer/group. There are many reasons why someone (like me) do like that singer/group. For some it is the music and the style the singer has that are attractive. |
 |
| It starts typical for a girl with a romantic’s affection to that singer/group. She might think that, he look smashing. Maybe in some specific outfits, or is it, his eyes and smile. Of cause it is a hopeless thought, to think, you can become married and get children together. It lies in the air from the begging, that it is only one ways affection, and you are aware of that by yourself. But it doesn’t stop you from dreaming about him anyway, because you are very curious, to know more about your big idol. |
 |
Some of the information you find out wills maybe shocks you, but it can also make you inspired to live a lifestyle like him. For men it can’t be romantic’s affection to a person when it came to a male pop singer. (Unless! You are homosexual). It is more the music in it self, and the styli that the singer/group has made themselves famous for. You can actual devise people into groups. Because it different how you are a fan. It has something to do with how you are as person. (Here shown a spot light click
here) |
| But also your life situation, what ever you are married and have children or you are a single. But also a lot to do with, how your economy situations are in life, it depends of it, There are a big different what ever you have a job or not. And how much you have to spend after you have paid all your bills and other necessary things you need to live.
|
| But also if you have other hobbies you wanted to spend time and money on. And it can sometime, become funny when you mix your hobbies. Special if you are very creative minded person. Then you can make things, where you have taken elements, from you passion, to your idols, into a shirt, painting ect.
(You can see examples from my Creative Corner pages.)
