I feel the same way about a musician in the US called the Mountain Goats. I play his music all day and then sometimes relapse to something else or become interested in whatever, but whenever he writes on his blog or does a tour, I get excited and listen to a few albums while working. I participate in the little stuff he does like fund-raising, etc.

I might have a few people that I would consider myself a "fan" of... well... I don't know really. Fans are usually fanatic about something. I hope not to be a fanatic about something -- though I can be enthusiastic. Like this -- you don't know me, but I've read your blog since freshman year in college. I'm now a senior. I was around when you first blogging here -- and sent you a message sometime asking you how this website works. I think myself of a "fan" -- because I follow your blog and read it regularly. But I certainly don't have like an Ureal World poster in my room. Maybe you should start selling those. You could make it heavy-metal themed. :'-D
