When people get on your nerves because they can't pronounce Amy's name. An example of a recent conversation I had. - So what's new with ''Emily''? - It's ''Amy Lee'' actually. - Oh ''Amy (as in a-rmy) Lee'' - No, ''Amy (as in Ma-y) Lee'' Lmao I remember when I started listening to Evanescence and I kept pronouncing it incorrectly like Eve-awn-escence

You get overly excited reading the word evanescence in a book.

You know you're obsessed with Evanescence when you grow your hair with the sole ambition as having it as long as Amy's. (It's a pain in the neck to look after, but it sure looks pretty and it's nice and warm in the winter.)
Also, when you have to buy every bright pink lipstick, nail polish or eyeshadow because you've seen Amy wearing one or the other at some stage, (I'm still doing this 12 years later! Amy was wearing bright pink eyeshadow and lipstick when I saw Ev on Top Of The Pops when I was 14.) I've also recreated the make-up look she had in the Going Under video.
When you live near a pond and it starts snowing and you're really tempted to recreate the video for Lithium, (even when you know the water is disgusting.)
When Nightwish bring out an album round about the same time as Evanescence do and you are firmly convinced that Ev's is better, (and daren't confess this to your friends for the fear of starting an argument.)
When you buy a bubble bath that's called Whisper because it makes you think of the song.
(Another Nightwish/Evanescence crossover,) you see the album Once and recognise the weeping angel from the Evanescence EP cover.
I went to see Ev in London in 2012 and cried most of the way through, and I'm going to have a remembering day on Sunday.
When you do a music video project at school you choose an Evanescence song (Taking Over Me).
When you get very excited with Phillip Pullman for using the word 'evanescence' in His Dark Materials.
When you credit Fallen with saving your life when you were a suicidal teenager, The Open Door with helping you go through the ending of a horrible relationship, and Evanescence with helping you through your fiancé deciding he wanted a break and started going out with some weird Greek girl instead. (My Heart Is Broken was my song for nearly a year, we're married now so it was a happy ending.) I hope I get to meet Amy one day just to say thank you.
When your partner follows Amy on Twitter just for you, and when you see the picture of her and Jack you start crying because you just feel so happy for her.
And finally, when you were a depressed teenager you spent most of your time writing stories and poems inspired by Ev songs.

...and Evanescence with helping you through your fiancé deciding he wanted a break and started going out with some weird Greek girl instead. (My Heart Is Broken was my song for nearly a year, we're married now so it was a happy ending.) I second this...my husband and I went through a really rough time and Ev3 (especially The Change) was the sound track to my life. I'm not gonna go into details cuz it was emotionally brutal, but happy to say we eventually worked through it (still are in a way) and things are definitely happier here.

You know you're obsessed with Ev when you throw some diced onions in the frying pan and notice that they almost look like the Ev symbol, and then let them burn a little so you can make it look even better and then take a photo to show a website full of other Ev nerds. (Photo only pretended to rotate, apparently.)

^^ where exactly was this? It's obviously not on Twitter, though these people obviously are on Twitter... um, right? Oh goodness, I'm just seeing this, after almost two years. Sorry. Ahem. It's from Instagram. I use a website to browse Instagram on pc so that's why it might look like Twitter. It's not though.

When you buy an Ev Piano Sheet Music book and you don't even know how to read it. I taught myself....
I know , right??? I taught myself as well, and once I found MI in a song book filled with "billboard hits" or whatever it was called...I got so excited to see it in there but I was like "what do I do with it if I can't read it?!"

Lol I taught myself all of BMTL and some of Hello My Immortal and Good Enough. Awesome! Sometimes it's tough to learn some parts. Take My Heart Is Broken for example...that took me a while to get the crazy parts right. yes, that's a dancing taco right there. Why it's there? I have no clue...

^^Whoo hoo! A dancing taco! AND the beginning of Imaginary is hard too. Jeez... You know you're obsessed with EV when you choose an EV song for your solo audition at school. You also know you're obsessed when you act like Amy onstage when you're listening to EV & no one's watching.
