I've been found out!

[UandMe]

Since I am a 'responsible 30 something suburban mom,' I have tried to keep my giddiness and fanatical behavior towards the LH and Marty somewhat contained when talking to my husband and friends. I think I said one thing to many about them tonight b/c my husband made the comment that "I seem to be thinking about them alot." Uh, yah! If he only knew... ; ) I even checked the prices this morning for flights to Chicago for the Metro wishing that I could be there.

Doh! I thought I was subtle about my desire to hear and see all things regarding the Lovehammers. Guess I wasn't fooling anyone.

Anyone else trying to lead a secret life?

[ndavis021410]

Ok...If anyone asks who secretly rewired all music sound tracks to play nothing but MOMM and L'Strange in the elevator going up the second floor to the courthouse that I work at, I DIDN'T DO IT......lol...hehehehehe....Who says to take the stairs could be more healthy....lol...Later all...Nancy...

[rachael]

Secret Life Person here too.
No one else here shares the love. So I come online whenever nobody notices. But I do have Marty and the Lovehammers playing pretty often. Also keep thoughts to myself when something reminds me of Marty in my daily life.

[kiwigirl]

Another fellow secret lifer here!

I think my hubby would think I was having an affair with MC if he knew how much I thought about him!

I only talk about MC and LH to my sister who has heard MOMM and likes it (but she has a 2mth old baby so rock isn't at the forefront of her life at the moment!) Hopefully once her bub gets a bit older the LH will have released their cd and we'll have it down here in NZ and then I can totally "squee" with her about it all!

I always have a whole secret world going on that nobody knows about, or rather different people know different pieces.

It's always been that way. Only I know the whole picture about who I really am, and I've always had somewhere to retreat to that was completely different from my current 'location'. I call it my back door. It's kind of like when you were younger, the difference between the "with your friends" you and the "with your family" you.

Well . . . maybe it's just me . . . but I kind of like it that way. Helps me keep my perspective on things. And I like my privacy. Nobody has ever known everything about me. Probably because I feel they either didn't need to know OR because they wouldn't understand. In this case, my family doesn't know because . . . I don't think they would understand.

I am really just exploring a part of myself right now that I am enjoying immensely, so I am quite happy keeping it to myself except for all of you of course. You all know AND you all understand!

Well put Franny, you could be talking about me!

I keep stuff to myself too, always have.

This whole Marty thing I've kept entirely to myself, except for this board. If I couldn't bust out here once in a while I'd go crazy.

I come here and read and laugh and nod in agreement
because as you said, everyone on here knows and understands.

I feel a bit blue tonight because I wasn't in Chicago, I'll likely never meet Marty Casey and what's more I'll probably never meet any of the lovely people on this board.

Even though I don't post a whole lot I come here often ( ;D) because it makes me feel a bit closer to Marty and I know I'm not alone in all this... this... whatever this is!!

Well, tomorrow's a new day, gotta get some sleep now and be fresh to read metro show news tomorrow.

[everlong]

I admit that I really liked the INXS show and my favourite was the guy who came in second and tell people I have tickets to the concert but try to keep the extent of my infatuation/ totally can't think about anything else under wraps.

Dh thinks I'm nuts to even watch TV period so he would be shocked at the extent of my compulsions.

I'm tempted by the wristbands but I'm sure dh would think I'm nuts. I haven't even bought the Lovehammers CDs because when they got to our house dh would know. I think that I'll get past that one soon.

Maybe I should use my friend's address. Hey - she could give me the CDs for Christmas. I pay and order, she receives them and wraps them. My best friends don't have the same infatuation but they certainly understand the concept lol.

[franny2]

Ah yes hiding the merchandise!

Hubby only raised an eyebrow at the CD's (because they come from out of country) but didn't ask any questions because he knows I work out to the music. My son saw the wristbands on the home page and wants one too, because "woah, those are the coolest looking wristbands ever" (he should know, he's 14 ;D) so they'll be coming under his name.

Not sure how I'll slide the DVD past hubby . . . or the girlie shorts, I think he'll notice those !

[Tooks]

LOL...as long as you don't wear the girlie shorts to bed it might be all right. As far as me? - No real secret life...my crazy's generally out in the open for all to see and (sometimes) roll their eyes at. Mine's just a mater of hiding the degree to which I'm nutty for the Lovehammers, and I really don't think I'm doin' that too well considering a was caught mumble-singing the lyrics to "Real Man" while out with my firends at a bar last night. ;D

[kellysgirl]

My hubby seems okay with it. I guess this would change if at sometime I yelled out Marty's name at the wrong time....lol

[bronte]

Guilty! Somewhat respectable married Mum with two kids here too. I've been trying to keep my mouth shut but I'm afraid I've given away the game. All my friends know I'm obsessed and my husband thinks I'm crazy. If I've had a couple of drinks I especially can't stop talking about him! Everyone already knows I'm crazy, this is just making them raise their eyebrows even more ;-) I sleep with a lot of pillows and he has started calling them my "Marty pillows" especially the one I keep between my legs ;-) He can't understand how I can listen to the music over and over and over 24/7. I'm not sure what he is going to think of my wrist band when it arrives. I wear the Lance Armstrong Livestrong one for my husband as he had a brain tumour two years ago. Not sure he will be happy if I exchange that for my Marty one; maybe I'll wear both together or on opposite wrists :-)

My friends at work just used to think I was a little bit of a horse nut, what with breeding and showing Welsh ponies.

But then MARTY came along now I have definitely been found out to be a little more than crazy over him, I take my CD's to work when I am night shift as I work alone and the joint is jumpin!

They all still look at me as if to say who is MARTY CASEY and what is so special about him, they just don't get it

Well it is their loss, I have informed them of a band called The Lovehammers so many times and when they finally make it big I am going to be rockin around saying "I told ya so" !!

Rock on Marty

Cheers, Helen.

[chk]

soooo funny. i am afraid I think I hide the obsession better than I do... my hubby shakes his head and says I have Marty on the brain. He mentions that fairly frequently come to think of it.
Whenever he mentions my mental state, I smile and think he doens't know the half of it... unless he's lurking here??

[UandMe]

Whew, it is so nice to have your company, ladies! Maybe if I just let it all out in the open I could go to the Aragon as well as the INXS concert. ; )

And I loved the comments about hiding the merchandise. I, too tried to do this but I locked myself out of paypal b/c I couldn't remember my password and had to go to dh to ask to use his account. LOL After buying the 2 cd's he said, Merry Christmas. Little does he know I am going to try to hit him up with a trip to Chicago Dec. 18th...without him. Now, that would be a Christmas present! LOL I want to be able to really let it out and scream.

[rachael]

I still haven't ordered my other LH stuff yet because I am trying to figure out how to ease it into the house. I ordered the MC.org wristbands, one for my 14 yr. old son because he collects those things and he knows who MC is. I also ordered me one but am hiding it amongst my other jewery. I ordered the MOMM cd and received it but when these things came in the mail guess who ended up getting the mail that day after me getting almost every single day?? My husband!!!! He doesn't say anything just leaves it on the counter for me to discover.
I have thought about using my Parents address but then I thought I will have to explain that one to them. I was thinking maybe just having an order come in once a month wouldn't be too noticable. What do you think?

[franny2]

So funny that we're sneaking around like little criminals I feel like a kid again stealing cookies.

But I honestly don't know what I would think/say/feel if my dh went this overboard about . . . say . . . Jordis.
OK, Jordis CD's coming in the door, no biggie. Jordis wristband's, T-shirts, boy-shorts, old concert DVD's, hanging around on her website - I think that would probably drive me nuts. I would think he'd lost his mind.

And yet I find myself HERE feeling perfectly sane . . . but looking back at what I just wrote, it's no wonder I keep it from him.

[aussiefan]

Hey all,

Can't hide my MARTY madness from Mick anymore, he just shrugs his head and walks away

He knows I have had a very tough year this year with several issues and I think he is just glad that i have found something to love again and make me so happy!

Thanks god he is supportive, in his own quiet way!

So no more sneaking around for me, I am an open MARTY FREAK and all my friends and family know it and I'm proud of it!

Cheers, Helen

Right on Helen! I have been lucky (so far!) that I have a great hubby who listens to me and when I get excited and have to share some of others good fortune about meeting Marty and Lovehammers at the Metro he patently has listen to me read posts and show pictures, Honestly I would probably explode if he didn't let me go on and on *note to self check if hubby is wearing ear plugs I think he just gets excited that I am so excited about something and I know that he is looking forward to see the Lovehammers in concert.

[TinyDancer]

My husband knows the full extent of my Marty obsession. My husband is in a band himself. Hell, he has local lady fans!!! So he totally understands and he takes full advantage of my Marty weakness by imitating Marty (which he does VERY well!) and I have, in y sleep, called him Marty and he laughs about it. He thinks i am very "cute" in his words. My husband is a rocker and very secure in his masculinity and can admit that Marty has a magnetis and charm that draws women to him. Every great frontman does. I don't keep secrets from my husband. I include him in my fantasy life. Believe me, he reaps the benefits!

[palari]

This is too big for me to keep a secret.

Everybody I know, knows that I am insane for Marty Casey. Everybody I know, knows what I am listening to on my iPod, what I am thinking about when my mind wanders.

My friends love me...precisely because I feel so passionately...I don't do things quietly.

Mars and Venus in Leo...I ROAR!!

My husband knows. he doesn't like it. Not at all. I am unrepentant.

I cannot keep this inside...I cannot pretend it isn't happening...I will not make this glorious feeling, this awakening, this beautiful obsession, into a guilty secret.

This is my life. I have to feel it. I have to express it. Who is going to do it if I don't?

The intensity of this will pass eventually. It will change in to something else...

but I will never forget how this feels because I will feel this to the full while I am in it.

I will remember the way my heart pounds when I think of him, how my flesh tingles when he sings.

I will remember the ache...in my throat, in my heart, between my legs.

I will remember what he gave me when he took his place on the stage.

In the meantime...I am still in this, heart and soul, skin on fire, sensors on full power...loving this ride...loving this man...making no secret of it!!
