I sing along (off key, might I add) to the theme song usually and I'm also prone to saying the lines w/them even if it's my first time seeing the episode... I also call all my FOL loving friends and we say the ep together! (I know, I might be a lil weird! )

Okay, this was stupid...really stupid! My mom took me out to the Anchorage uptown one night. I ordered a chicken sandwich, hot fudge shake, and a mountain dew (lemme tell ya, that was a little over the edge for sugar...) I had FOL on my mind. I had the theme song in my head. So I like started to chew and drink to the beat. First was chicken sandwich, then came Moutain Dew, then hot fudge shake. I even had a round going at one point! lol. So I imagine people were staring at me. Then my mom askes me why I was up so early. I told her I was watching the second part of the FOL ep I taped. So then I started telling her what happened. I told her every little detail. I guess I was talking a little louder than I ment to be bcause I turned around and everybody was staring at me! lol

After Blair had 'another one of her brilliant ideas' I think I actually caught myself doing a hair flip.

Tootie: Muffy? Her name is Muffy? What kind of person is named Muffy?

Jo: Beats me, Tootie.

I have a few...

1) In class for a poem i stole the lines of FOL and changed them, teachy never noticed.

2) Me and a guy at school started singing the theme song to FOL Fairly loud, he didnt know the words and i was off key soo........

3) i began talking FOL at a school dance with my algebra teacher when she saw me in the hall calling my mom too make sure she hit the record button.

4) i start sighing and tossing my hair all the time, blair has poisoned me i used to be tough, sniff sniff.

5) When i memorized the lines too "like old times" Line for line, word for word, sniffle for sniffle and started reciteing it to my friend at school like a dum-dum

6) And last but not least when i offered my big cousin $825 my total savings to print out the bio of Nancy McKeon ANd to find out what lifetime show she was on and for the FOL episode guide. She didnt exept my offer, but now im online so i dont care, that just makes her 800 dollars poorer hhaha!

Oh wow, you last one was a little extreme! Mine is: Since my friends and I are all really into acting (musical theatre) we decided we'd do a Facts of Life thing and we all memorised the words to "Hot Rod Lover" from the Bobby Rydell and Fabian episode with all the harmonies and stuff. Then we performed it for all our acting friends in costume and all. They looked at us like we were crazy, but we had soo much fun and we really looked like the FOL girls!

Actually, even I've been warped by FOL. Sometimes I end up talking like the characters, although never Natalie.
