Over GDA's existance on the web, we've had Fan of the Week on several occassions. Now it comes time for a whole new era in Green Day history with the release of 21st Century Breakdown, so I figured nowwould be a good time to start this again. For you guys that have never seen this on GDA, here's how it works.

  Every Sunday I'm gonna randomly choose a person from that week's submissions, and post them here. As soon as I pick that person and post it on GDA, that week's submissions will be deleted, leaving a fresh start for the next week. So if you choose to submit for this, please make sure you check if you're choosen each week.

Nimrod for the Week of November 8 - 14

Slappy Age: 17 Location: Twin Cities, Minnesota Website: Twitter Fan since the Nimrod Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? " These past few years have been a bit rough for me and I turn to music to get away. I've become closer to this band I like to call Green Day and they've helped me through some pretty hard times. They've shown me that it doesn't matter what other people think, which is pretty big seeing as most of the world is all about looks and the newest deals on name brand clothes. Besides, their live shows rock. Long live 7.11.9!"

Nimrod for the Week of October 18 - 25

Lauren Age: 16 Location: New York Website: N/A Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? " I've been irrevocably hooked on Green Day ever since I heard American Idiot on the radio while driving to school on the first day of 6th grade. The catchy riffs, the lyrics I can actually relate to! It's not just the same ol' thing with Green Day! Too many musicians have been formulating their work just so it can sound like something everyone will like to make sure it will SAFELY make the charts. Green Day is different. Their songs have meaning! You can just hear in Billie Joe's lyrics how much of his heart and soul is put into his work. AND they aren't afraid to shake things up and give the music industry a good kick in the pants every now and then!"

Virginia Age: 15 Location: Jasper, Indiana Website: N/A Fan since the Nimrod Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I think I should be Nimrod of the Week because my life revolves around Green Day. They will always be my favorite band, no matter what. Billie Joe has inspired me to play guitar, and I absolutely love it. I went to my first Green Day concert in on August 11, 2009, and it was the best night of my life. I come to this website everyday to get the latest Green Day updates. I love how no other band has talent even comparable to Green Day's. Their lyrics are so meaningful, it's unreal. Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre are my heros."

Nimrod for the Week of September 6 - 12

Amer.Mj Age: 17 Location: Kuwait Website: N/A Fan since the Warning Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "Umm, I think I should be Nimrod of the Week because I'm one of those fans who will never have the chance to meet Green Day but still not giving up. Green Day gave me a chance to take a look at what's going around and not just sitting and letting the world me. They tought me how to live a good life and not just a be fan, and without them I'm not really sure what to do. Because of them I found my motiviation, and I'll never stop from doing what I really wanna do because of Billie, Mike, and Tre didn't stop and look what have they've become, they are our Green Day..."

Nimrod for the Week of August 30 - September 5

Keeli Age: 17 Location: Barnsley, England Website: N/A Fan since the Warning Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "It's simple really. Green Day are my oxygen. If I didn't have them, I'd find it damn hard to survive. They've made me who I am in lots of ways and I am sure as hell grateful to them. Always. They have always been there for me. When ever life gets too much to bear and no one else wants to know, Green Day are always there. I'm addicted. It's not about how many CD's I own or how many concerts I've been to. It's about what Green Day represent to me. And to all of us. I love them dearly and always will, they are stuck with me forever, whether they like it or not :D It's been 9 years and they haven't let me down yet, their music offers me so much and speaks to me in ways I could never imagine. Job well done boys, you made at least one girl, extremely happy. :)"

Nimrod for the Week of August 23 - 29

Jimmy Age: 17 Location: Hainesport, NJ Website: Facebook Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I'm not gonna say that I should be Nimrod Of The Week because I have a whole crapload of Green Day merch, or I have every CD they've ever made. I feel I should be Nimrod Of The Week because I always feel like I'm one with the band. I feel like I'm part of something great and something exciting. I feel that being a Green Day fan isn't just listening to the music and doing things like them, but it's feeling like you belong with the band. You can see and feel yourself being a Green Day fan, and that's how I feel. They've motivated me to be all I wanna be and I think that's all the band would want from fans."

Nimrod for the Week of August 16 - 22

Jenny Age: 20 Location: Erie, PA Website: Myspace Fan since the Dookie Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I have been listening to Green Day for about 15 years now. They are my heroes and my idols. Their music gets me through a lot. They inspired me to write my own music and play guitar. They mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without them. I've seen them in concert only once, but that's what happens when you are poor. My dream is to meet them one day..."

Nimrod for the Week of August 9 - 15

Nikki Age: 16 Location: Chicago, Illinois Website: Myspace Fan since the Insomniac Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I should be Nimrod of the week because Green Day has changed me in so many ways experiencing good and bad things throughout my life. My mom was the one who made me grow up listening and loving Green Day as much (and even more) as I do today. She told me she would take me to go see them in concert but about 3 years ago she got cancer and passed away December 13, 2008. Exactly 7 months later I got to go to my first ever concert to see Green Day in Chicago. I can't tell you enough how much this band means to me. I have collected all their albums and have so many other Green Day merchandise. Whatever mood I am in Green Day always makes it better and beyond. They have inspired me to play and write my own music, not to be afraid to express yourself and go wild, and made me become a stronger person. I am a proud Green Day fan and nothing can ever top them."

Nimrod for the Week of August 2 - 8

Krista Age: 18 Location: Illinois, USA Website: N/A Fan since the Dookie Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "Let me put it this way... whenever anything Green Day shows up anywhere, like on T.V. or the radio, or on a magazine cover or anything like that, everyone I know turns to me, tilts their head and smiles. =] To me, Green Day isn't a band. They're my life source, ha ha. When I was little, I couldn't go to bed without the Dookie album being played. I could sing you every lyric to every Green Day song ever written backwards and forwards. Without Green Day, I wouldn't be who I am today. Some people don't realize how much music can change a person, and Green Day has definatly changed me for the better. I love my boys and I don't know what I would do without them. It\'s been hard because I've never had much money, so I've never been able to see them in concert until just recently, and it was one of the best nights of my life! I think I should be Nimrod of the Week because I’ve always been a Green Day Nimrod, and I always will be!"

Nimrod for the Week of July 26 - August 1

Luna Age: 16 Location: Florida Website: Myspace Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "Before my Green Day obcession started when I was 12, I was really shy and didn't stick up for myself. Now I'm confident and brave and ready to take on the world by storm. Green Day has inspired me to do many things with my life; they make me want to enjoy life to it's fullest. I carry all their CD's with me and I have my headphones on almost everywhere I go. I'm happy of what their music has done to make me who I am today."

Nimrod for the Week of July 12 - 18

Sarah Age: 15 Location: Michigan Website: N/A Fan since the Warning Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I should be Nimrod of the Week because when I was tired of caring about what people thought of me, I found Green Day and I didn't care anymore. I live my life happily every day now because I have Green Day to listen to. When I first found them I immediately hunted down all of the albums and I'm now proud to say I have them all! I was finally lucky enough to get tickets for this tour and I can't wait for my show because I know it will change my life forever. Mosh pit here I come!"

Nimrod for the Week of June 28 - July 4

Anja Age: 12 Location: Örnsköldsvik, Sweden Website: N/A Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "Green Day has inspired me to care less about what people have to say about me, and just try to dress and be as much as myself that I can, and for that I love them. Their music plays a huge part in why life is so fucking worth living and I will never ever stop listening to them. Even though there is a LOT of people that like Green Day, I am one of the ones that love them the most. THAT is why I should be Nimrod of the week."

Nimrod for the Week of June 21 - 27

Kim Renström Age: 21 Location: Sweden Website: N/A Fan since the Dookie Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I think I should be Nimrod of the week because I spend all my waking time to listen to their cd's. Started listening to Green Day when Dookie came out, fell in love instantly! Green Day has changed me as a person, given me a different outlook on life. Green Day is everything to me, means more than life! I can play most of their songs on drums and taught me all their texts."

Nimrod for the Week of June 14 - 20

Megan Age: 14 Location: Kansas Website: Deviant Art Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "First of all, Green Day is my all time favorite band and no one can convince me otherwise. I will stand up for them when I need to and I am very proud to be their fan. Green Day helped me become who I am. Before I was shy and reserved, hiding in bright pink clothes because thats what people thought I should be. Then I found Green Day and they totally changed me. I am now confident in myself because of them. I stand proud in my GD t-shirt and black eyeliner. Also, Green Day's music helped me through a really hard time. I was uber depressed, and listening to their music has helped me immensly. Green Day saved me. :)"

Nimrod for the Week of June 7 - 13

Emily Age: 15 Location: Dublin, Georgia Website: Myspace Fan since the Nimrod Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I should be Nimrod of the week mainly because I love Green Day, literally, all of their work. Ever since I can remember, from years and years back, I've always loved to listen to Green Day. From their lyrics, to their catchy ass music, it's really taught me a lot about myself, and how I see things. As an artist, a striving artist at least, their music has inspired me in so many ways. A lot of the work I do I'd definitely dedicate to them. They're as fucking good as it gets!"

Nimrod for the Week of May 31 - June 6

Joshua Age: 13 Location: Louisiana Website: N/A Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I think I should be Nimrod of the Week, because I spend a whole lot of my time learning Green Day music on my guitar, I know about half of thier songs now. It sorta sucks I didn't know about them before American Idiot came out. I've spent alot of money on Green Day merchandise. I've listened to almost every song. How I got the new album...I buzzed my head just because my sister and I had a deal. I shave the head...I get the new album! (P.S. She didn't buy it!!! I did!!!)"

Nimrod for the Week of May 24 - 30

Valerie Age: 15 Location: Oklahoma Website: Rose Pet Cottage Fan since the Nimrod Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I love Green Day, I really do. I fell in love with them back when I was 5. I was lying in the back of our old clunker car, my parents didn't have any money, and "Good Riddance" came on the radio. I'll never forget that.Billie Joe was my first love. He was, and still is, everything I could ever want in a person. A wonderful personality, talent, and he's just plain gorgeous! I'm so obsessed with Green Day, I named my rat "Danger"! I love waking up to the pictures of Green Day on the wall. I know that as long as I have my boys, everything will be alright. < 3"

Nimrod for the Week of May 17 - 23
	Nemo Age: 21 Location: United Kingdom Website: Myspace Fan since the Dookie Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "Why not? I live breath and speak Green Day. I was lucky enough to catch Billie Joe's guitar pick back in 2005 when I saw them in Manchester and I have worn it around my neck ever since. These guys are my heros. I'm a musician myself. Music is my life. Green Day are my life.."

Nimrod for the Week of May 10 - May 16

Abbie Age: 14 Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina Website: N/A Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I think I should be the nimrod of the week because I'm mad about Green Day. Everytime I see a picture of GD in a magazine or something I cut it and paste it with my (Green Day of course) posters. People also says it's 'weird' for a girl like me to like a band like them, but you don't need to have and specific behaviour, gender, age, or whatever to love them. Another reason why I think I should be the nimrod of the week is because I feel deeply identified with GD lyrics, and I've them tattooed in my heart. (And I wake up everyday singing MINORITY :D )"

Nimrod for the Week of May 3 - 9

Jazz Age: 15 Location: Smyrna, TN Website: Myspace Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I believe I should be Nimrod of the Week because of what they've done to make me who I am today. Green Day is the best thing in my life. I love them dearly, and would never put another band before them. I can listen to them all day, and I would never get tired of it. I have been a fan for over 5 years, and I have always stuck by their side. It just pisses me off, having people talk about Green Day the way they do. I take the criticism from people when I wear Green Day clothing because I feel that most people don't understand how it is to be a Green Day fan. Also, Billie Joe is my idol. I look up to him. He's just amazing. He's funny and never gives up. This is why I should be Nimrod of the Week."

Nimrod for the Week of April 26 - May 2

Frankie/Matilda Age: 16 Location: Gothenburg, Sweden Website: N/A Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I should be Nimrod of the week because Green Day plays a huge part in my life. I came out of my shell, started playing music, not to mention dressing like I do today. I once even cut my hair like Billie Joe. I became a fan when American Idiot came out but then my mom told me that I actually grew up with them and danced to Basket Case when I was two years old. I was the Green Day-freak (still am) in middle school and I have spent time, money, and hair on Green Day. That is why I should be Nimrod of the week."

Nimrod for the Week of April 19 - 25

Luis Age: 17 Location: Baja California, México Website: Myspace Fan since the Warning Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I think I should be Nimrod of the week because: I know every lyric of their songs, and I learned all the American Idiot songs on guitar and bass, I check out Green Days website every day to see what's new, I listen to Green Day from when I wake up till when I go to sleep. ;D So I think I should be Nimrod of the week cause I LOVE GREEN DAY and also The Network, The Foxboro Hot Tubs and Pinhead Gunpowder. I have many many many many things to write but I have to go see ya!"

Nimrod for the Week of April 12 - 18

Harry Age: 13 Location: Somerset, England Website: N/A Fan since the American Idiot Era Why should you be a Nimrod of the Week? "I should believe I should be Nimrod of the week because I spend lots of my time learning and playing Green Day songs on various different instruments and spend most of the money I have on Green Day merchandise. I feel obliged as a fan to spend money because I feel that it's fans like myself that motivate the band to carry on playing, knowing that they have loyal followers who will always be there when they are (and sometimes not) needed."
