You Know You're a Doris Fan if...

Ok, I know I have a You Know You're a Judy Fan if... section on my Judy garland page, so this is sorta like stealing my own idea, but I love that part of my page, and I love Doris, so I just HAD to have one on this page too!

...you wear capri's because Doris wore them in a lot of her movies, NOT because they are in style. (Incase you're wondering what capri's are, they are those pants that come to your calves...you know, pedal pushers. 'least that's what I call 'em)
...you know how many times Doris says I'm in love in the song "I'm in Love", from "Romance on the High Seas".
...you answer the phone, and greet people by saying, "Greetings chum!"
...you know what movie Doris says, "Greetings chum!" in.
...you try to chew your food like she does (I know, I know, how pathetic! But I just love how she chews her food! :) Ever notice? If not, watch her eat the pretzels in Romance on the High Seas).
...you play "Que Sera, Sera" on the piano so many times that your neighbors beg you to PLEASE stop!(I usually have my windows open when I play piano, if you're wondering how the neighbors can hear it)
...you almost have a nervous breakdown waiting for a reply to the letter you sent Doris. (I finally got a reply!!! Yay!).
...you shout, "YES!!!" just a little too loudly when you find the sheet music to "It's You or No One", in an antique store.
...you're nephew says, "That is so excellent!" and when his parents ask him where he got it from, he says, "Doris Day". (cute story time: I was watching Calamity Jane one time when my nephew was over, and I told him that Calamity was Doris Day, and awhile later I asked him what her name was to see if he remembered. He thought for a minute and said, "Darrell Stay" *LOL* He thought I said her name was Darrell Stay...well, of course, I corrected him right away, and now he knows her name. :)
...you dance along with the "Just Blew in from the Windy City" part of Calamity Jane so much that your 2 year old niece can do almost the whole dance too. (It is soooo adorable! She does it really good too!)
...you almost go into a coma when you find Doris's autobiograpy at a garage sale. (25 cents! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!? I was ecstatic! I about ripped my moms arm off when I saw it. She was looking through a box of books and she picked one up and out of the corner of my eye I spotted "Doris Day" and I just dove for it. It was soooooo cool!)
...you listen to your Doris Day cd so much that your parents walk around singing "Que Sera, Sera", "On Moonlight Bay", and "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" all day long.
...for once you're actually glad you live in Ohio, 'cause that's where Doris is from. (I've been to Cincinnati before! Yay! I sure wish she'd move back there...I know where I'd be moving to...right next door to her!)
...you're depressed for months when you find out you missed "The Ballad of Josie". (They showed it on the Fox family channel, and I didn't know till it was already about 1/2 an hour into the movie! Drat!)
...because of you, everyone you know has seen atleast one Doris movie (I still have a couple people to go). Actually, most of them had already seen her movies before...but thats because they are older than me and got to see 'em before I did. Punks.
...you insist on taking dance lessons from the same dance studio (even though they are EXPENSIVE) that you took them from before, just because the dance instructor played a Doris Day song one time. (Drat! That was before I had seen any of her movies, so I didn't care then. What was wrong with me?!?!)
...you send threatening e-mails to TCM and AMC until they decide to show "Storm Warning" (actually, I sent a nice one to TCM hoping they would decide to show it. I mean, come on! A Doris Day movie that ALSO has Ginger Rogers in it! What could be better than that???)
...you actually try counting sheep and saying the alphabet backwards when you can't sleep. (that won't make any sense unless you've heard Ten Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-two Sheep)
...one of your actions in ICQ live chat is "Dig that man in the crazy red skirt!" (again, this will only make sense if you've heard The Blue Bells of Broadway...and if you have ICQ)
...your email, file names, nicknames, etc. all revolve around Doris. (Example: one of my emails is iluvdorisday@hotmail.com, my nickname on ICQ is Calamity Jen, and my "name" in my ICQ info is Clara Bixby.)
...you know who Clara Bixby is.
...you practice saying, "Isn't that lovely?" for about an hour, or until you get it as close to how Doris said it as possible. (also:...you know what movie she says that in)
...even though you love TCM you are really mad at them because they showed Fred Astaire movies ALL day long on his birthday, but only showed a few Doris Day movies on her birthday. (ARGH!)
...you can finally remember what day your moms birthday is on...but only because Doris's is 6 days before it.
...you think the title of "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" (from Grease) should be changed to "Watch it, hey, I'm Doris Day"
...every time you sing "Ten Thousand Four Hundred Thrity-Two Sheep" you try to mimic the way Doris blinks her eyes when she says, "We better get married soon."
...you go to a school playground during recess time and try to get the little kids to sing "Please Don't Eat the Daises" with you. ('k, I've never gone that far, but I just thought that was funny)
...you dance around the living room singing "Anyway the Wind Blows" (big plus if you are dressed like Doris at the time.)
...you've gone to the train station and asked if you could have a ticket to Gurkey's Corners
...you decorate your bedroom/apartment the way Doris decorated Rock Hudson's in "Pillow Talk". (Thanks Barb! :)
...you have 101 dogs and cats.
...you take notes while reading "Doris Day: Her Own Story"
...your 18th birthday party revolved completely around Doris (my cake said: "Que Sera, Sera...Happy Birthday Jennifer", the balloons had the names of Doris movies and songs written on them, and I was going to put a big picture of Doris in the center of the table, but I didn't get a frame, so I couldn't do it.)
...you consider naming your first son Lightning.
...the previous YKYADFI makes sense to you.
...you have dreams about Doris (I dreamt that Doris came to my house and mowed the lawn *LOL*)
