I know this is incredibly hard, but try to pick your THREE favorite things about John's appearance. We all love his voice and we all know that he is one of the most talented people alive, but what makes him so FREAKING HOT!?!?

I personally like his smile and his hair and his nose the best, although it was a hard decision.

you have made some very valid points about John. Personally who his is, what he has done with his life (making something out of nothing) is complete sex appeal.
Physically, I mean, that chin...need I say more? He has the nicest ass I have EVER seen, and those hands are raw beauty. I could go on and on and on, but I will spare all of us the time.

I have to do it! I have to burst the bubble. Once you've been around him enough he looses that sexyness! Even though he's got the softest skin in the world and smells great without seeming to try too. It does fade. I was a fanatic for awhile myself and spent WAY too much time around the band and now IT'S GONE :cry: They are still an awesome band and all but the whole Johnny is a god thing. Not real!! My advice to you all. NEVER GET TO KNOW HIM!! if you keep it that way you'll all keep loving him. Once you know him personally you'll not like him anymore trust me.. He's a nice guy but he has his bad sides!

ok, I read this earlier, and needed some time to absorb what you wrote. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?! he looses his sexiness? HOW? I dont get it, what did he do? I need some answers here woman. If you dont wanna talk to me in here, you can pm me please. What exactly ARE these bad sides? I know no one is perfect, but to me, he seems to be the closest man out there and has given me hope that there is still guys out there that still feel, and still have emotion. Is it the drugs? What is it? I am actually kind of upset by this! (not you hon, just the thought of John actually NOT being perfect)

Of course John isn't perfect. But what the HELL is this "bad side" that you're talking about? Is he an *******? What is going ON here?

*Candy*
Oct 16th, 2003, 05:29 PM
Eyes, Smile, and Ass and Hands are tied for 3rd place,lol.


So, is John an ass? Is he on heroin? Is he a pig? Wanna elaborate in this thing? You can't just say that he has "bad sides" and then leave it at that. Everyone has bad sides and no one is prefect.

To follow up on this. I have met and spent alot of time around the Goo Goo Dolls and their crew. They for the most part are really cool guys and usually are alot better with their fans then most bands. But for what you guys are asking. Johnny is really neurotic beyond words! He drinks WAY TOO MUCH of anything he can get ahold of but mostly Vodka (he can drink a whole big bottle by himself in a sitting if not more :( ) He smokes too much but that's his own risk. Sometimes he can be really rude to fans but for the most part he's really great to fans and has done special favors for a few but he's got alot of stalkers and when he gets drunk he does things with girls that he regrets later like makeout session and so on! Then he gets psycho around other fans cause of these mistakes and thinking they are all like that and out to get him. Not everyone wants to get in your pants Mr. Rzeznik! He can be totally moody to the point he's around NOONE! This last tour he's turned into a total groupie slut and from RELIABLE sources he's actually been witnessed getting it on with 3 different girls in one night. TRUE not gossip! Then his on again off again relastionship with Bold & the Beautiful Adrienne Franz is just a joke and circus. Now if you want to have your life private it's one thing but to have your girlfriend dancing out almost on stage is asking for people to talk and want to know what the hell. I personally don't care about it or her I think she's a waste but if they are together he should just come out and deal with it instead of trying to hide and constantly lie about things. I think it's the lying that people get tired of! Then there is the incident where a friend gave him something and he turned around not more then 15 minutes later and gave it to a roadie :mad: It was a shirt and if he didn't want it fine but to give it to a roadie to wear right after it was given to him when the friend was still around to witness was just RUDE and UNCOOL :mad: At least do it in another state or later that night. And if you don't want stalkers to follow you stop sticking your tongue down the throats of anyone who kisses you :mad:
He just did alot of little things to finally break the love I once had for him.

From what I know he doesn't do Heroin or anything major like that but he and Robby are always joking about smoking pot and that they hoped the drug sniffing dogs would miss it on the bus. I know Robby smokes pot but I don't know about Johnny. You would think after what his father was like Johnny would learn and get a grip on his drinking though! very sad if you ask me to follow down the same mistakes your parents couldn't learn from :(

I pretty much suspected everything youve said. I think you are right about his father, you think he would want to be opposite of that. As for the weed, Im sure he does it too. Even from that one time they were on on Jay Leno he pulled a bag of weed out from behind a pillow on the tour bus and was like, woah! how did this get here. Its weird the whole lying thing. Am I the only one who has noticed he brings lying into his lyrics alot? He must have some sort of issue with it. I already knew he "got around" quite a bit. Its weird to think, but it seems most celebrites are that way, Ive even noticed from a first had experence with the Backstreet Boys (and you wouldnt really expect it there either) but after seeing that, I was like, man, what are OTHER celebrities like? Im not gonna say I have lost all love for them. I still respect them in a musical sense, and John has still created lyrics that have touched the bottom of my soul, and for that, I am still a fan.

Its hard not to be disappointed here. You see what they want you to see from the outside. Thanks for the reality check.

No problem. At least he's not as Skezy as some of the musicians I've met. He's actually on the better side of what stardom is in alot of celebrities. Some of them are absolutely repulsive :sick:

I knew about that whole sleeping around thing, and I remember John himself once said that he was the most nuerotics person he knew and he was talking about his self-help tattoo, but I didn't think that he was totally serious....I can't believe he drinks that much though, that's so sad :(
"All you can do is be strong enough to break the chain."
Apperantly he doens't take his own advice.....

"He could never rise above it, never see beyond it. He got drunk every day. Luckily, I've always had people around me who saw the potential for what is out there, especially Robby." (About Joe Rzeznik, his dad)

"You know how neurotic I am? I'm the only guy in the world who has a self-help tattoo."~John Rzeznik

When did he get his stomach pumped???
"He held my head when I threw up in the toilet. He took me to the hospital to have my stomach pumped. He loaned me twenty bucks last night. He listens to all my lies and ignores me when I'm full of ****. And that's a big difference, if you know what I mean."(John's introduction of Robby)

*Candy*
Oct 25th, 2003, 08:46 PM
"Truth is a Whisper" gains a whole new meaning now.........and "I'm still here"...heck a lot of their song lyrics can be interpreteded really differently now.....

Unless he was meaning when they were younger ?? Cause he was saying Robby would hold his hair back while he puked. Well his hair really isn't that long anymore.

lol, yeah. Ya gotta know your way around the net!
Everyday I just sit in my computer technology class and bother the teacher and ask him if we're ever going to learn anything or do anything fun and he tells me "Well we are learing, we are processing things every day but I guess this is sort of a review for people that are so far advanced" lol, it's ssoo lame just sitting there being bored! Before (during the 1st. term) he made me a teacher's aid but he changes aids every term so I'm a student again :o lol.ssooo lame!

BSB_GGD_TC
Nov 18th, 2003, 01:27 PM
Its weird because I really dont know my way around the net very good. I go to my 4 or 5 websites that I like, and that is about it. Sounds like you are a pretty advanced student to be bored in class. You can come here and do my homework for me :D

Today in class I was trying to type in a command propt code for the comp. to shut down automatically in 55 seconds and it wouldn't work for some reason so I called my teacher over and asked him about it and he looked at me and he said "Now who knows more about this command propt stuff, you or me?!" and I'm sitting there like wha?! And I'm like "Yoouu..." and he's like "Noo",lol....yeah, lol, sad/funny moment, at first I thought he was mad at me when he looked at me before he asked me who knew moreabout it, I was thinking he was gonna get me into trouble!lol And I also have like 5 or 6 pages that I always visit, and sometimes I make blends and other things like that, I don't do that much stuff on a reguar basis.

I used to write quite a bit of poetry, I havent really had much time for it lately, sometimes one just hits me, and I have to write it down before I forget. I like to sketch too, but I would have to say my favorite (to do myself) would be oil painting. I love cranking out a painting, and have people look at it and try to ponder the meaning of it.

*Candy*
Nov 27th, 2003, 09:11 PM

I'm sorry that you haven't had time to write anymore :( And you know what, I cna't stand it when something pops into my head but I can't write it down and I end up forgetting it! lol, that's so annoying sometimes.

It is somewhat ironic that we are talking about this... I just went back to my parents house for the weekend and I found a bunch of the poems I wrote in high school.

I know what you mean, it drives me insane when I dont get to write something down like that when its in my head.

Nov 30th, 2003, 03:41 PM
Cool, I bet I will love to look back at things I wrote now a few years down the road or something :)

And I think I saw you post in one of the Jonathan Brandis threads, didn't you? I still can't believe that he's gone :( He was one of my first celeb crushes (my first one being Nick Carter,lol) when I was like 10 :(

Dec 1st, 2003, 12:55 AM
wow, yeah, I did actually. I seen your avitar before I even read what you wrote. I LOVED him, I wanted him bad... yeah, it didnt come close to NC, but still wanted him none the less. :) I havent seen many recent pictures of him, but that is a good one. he was a very good looking guy. its too bad that it ended the way it did. do you hear any reasons as to why he killed himself?

*Candy*
Dec 1st, 2003, 07:25 PM
Not too much has been known about his death. In the current issue if People Magazine (the one with Michael Jackson on the cover) you can read an article about him. They interviewed some of his friends and they said he was getting depressed and he had talked about ending it all :(
Wait, let me find it.....


A TEEN HEARTTHROB TAKES HIS LIFE
Lonely and drinkin heavily, Jonathan Brandis-the 90's start of seaQuest DSV- hangs himself.

Maybe the problem was that in a town where appearance matters so much, former teen idol Jonathan Brandis still looked great. Sure, his friends knew that the star of the mid-'90s TV series seaQuest DSV was lonely and depressed about his extended career ull. They knew he drank heavily and he'd even "told people that he was going to kill himself", says one friend. but no one, it seems, took him seriously enough-until 11:40 pm November 11, when friends called 911 after finding Brandis, 27, hanging from a nylon rope in the hallway of his L.A. apartment. Says Robert Katz, who produced Brandis's final film, the indie Puerto Vallarta Squeeze: "When I heard about it, I said, "No, no, no, wrong guy."

During the movie's shoot last year, Brandis impressed colleagues as an unassuming progessional. Even at teen heartthrob apex in '94, when he got 4,000 letters a week, Brandis's seaQuest costar Roy Scheider told PEOPLE, "he takes his incredible popularity with a grain of salt." A former child actor who had starred in such family-oriented features as 1992's Ladybugs, Brandis seemed to take it in stride when his career cooled in the late 90's. But friends say he was upset when what he hoped would be his comeback-as a POW in 2002's Hart's War- ended up on the cutting-room floor.

Ironically, his role in the yet-unreleased Squeeze, starring as a CIA hit man opposite Harvey Keitel, may have been his best showcase in years. "Harvey even said to me a couple of times, 'This kid is good'," Katz recalls. "When we were int he editing room looking at him, we all said, "This guy's going to have a big career."

There was also two pics of him, one of him in 94 and one of him in 96 with Tatyana Ali, under the pic it said "His friends knew he was depressed", an aquintance says of Brandis (Left in 94, and in 96 with his then-girlfriend,actress Tatyanna Ali) "They didn't know how much"

Dec 1st, 2003, 11:04 PM
wow, thank you for taking the time, once again, to go and find that for me. I didnt know he hung himself. That is so sad. :( Its really too bad that he couldnt just hang in there a little bit longer to see if his career would have taken off again. I know I would have supported him!!! It was on my friends birthday too.

*Candy*
Dec 2nd, 2003, 04:23 PM
no problem :)
And I know what you mean, if only he had just held on a bit longer :( But it seemed to have pushed him into depression even more when a movie called Hart's War (he thought it was gonna be his come back) ended up getting changed a lot, and his character bascially ended up on the cutting room floor :o :cry:

EDIT: Here's a link to a scan of the article, I forgot to post it in my previous post http://www.sonafide.com/blog/articles001.html

Ooops, I'm stupid :o Sorry,lol. I missread that,durh, stupid me.

My bro went to Italy when he was in the 10th grade for 10 days :) He liked it :) He had some neat pics of the leaning tower of Piza (is that how you spell that?!) I want to go there too :) That would be awsome! I was born just two hours away from Italy (by boat it's two hours):D I've never been there though,bummer. You know what the prefect place to live in would be?! A small (like 7 neigboors small) island of the shore of Greece in a small white cottage :) That would be so beautiful!!

*Candy*
Dec 18th, 2003, 07:12 PM

BSB_GGD_TC
Dec 19th, 2003, 02:44 PM
hahahah... I think John would laugh.. he would be like WTF are they talking about baby wipes on our message board for? I know I would think its funny. We have already taken up 6 pages of pretty much non coherant babbling!

*Candy*
Dec 19th, 2003, 11:30 PM
Well not ALL of it was incoherant babbeling! The 1st. page wasn't! LOL! We're sounding like senile loonies,lol, but I'd have to agree, I would laugh at it too!

BSB_GGD_TC
Dec 20th, 2003, 12:21 AM
youre right about that. the first page really was about the subject, but we took over the other 6 now! haha. are you as addicted to this website as I am?

*Candy*
Dec 20th, 2003, 02:24 PM
Yes, but yesterday I had no urge to be on the net or do anything on the comp, but I did end up trying to find some German people to chat with at 1 AM cuz I was in a German speaking mood and I checking my e-mail,lol. :o

I doubt that! You seem pretty well read to me!

*Candy*
Dec 21st, 2003, 12:48 PM
I ment like my different language words. English comes from Germanic origins so a lot of English words are German words just pronounced differently or spelled with like a one letter difference and when I read German I'm tempted to read it the English way and stuff.

BSB_GGD_TC
Dec 21st, 2003, 01:22 PM
I wouldnt doubt that. I dont know a whole lot about the interchanging of languages. I took Spanish one year. I must say I got some of the best naps of my life during that class. :)

*Candy*
Dec 21st, 2003, 01:41 PM
I took Spanish in the 7th grade, all I remember how to say is "?Te gusta nadar?" and "? Te gusta futball de Americano?" lol, Do you Like to swim and Do you like American Football. And "Que Tal?" I don't think I spelled that right though,lol. :p

BSB_GGD_TC
Dec 21st, 2003, 10:34 PM

Oh yeah me too, my brain was like a sponge the size of a pin head, absorbed so much stuff, really.

How was your christmas? I was feeling withdrawls, I wasnt on the internet for 2 1/2 days! *gasp*

*Candy*
Dec 26th, 2003, 01:24 PM
My Christmas was fun :) We had lots of people over at the house (and there were these two people, I had like no clue who the heck they were,lol)and we ate tons of stuff (my mom put food out on the table on the porch to keep cool cuz both of the friges were full!). Had some presents, drank a bottle of Bacardi Silver even though I'm no where near the legal drinking age. And at 7:30 or so, me,my bro, and his girlfriend decided to go to the Movie Theater and watch a movie. My bro wanted to see "Paycheck", I wanted to see "Peter Pan" and his girlfriend was undecided. Well we got there at like 8 cuz we had to drive 30 M.P.H on the Freeway (sad,lol, it was snowing so much). Well Peter Pan was sold out, Paycheck didn't start until 10 ,so we decided to see The Return of The King which started in an hour or so. Well we get in, we buy some popcorn and drinks, and we decide to hed into the theatre and find a seat because there's tons of people seeing the movie so we wanted a good seat. Well half an hour later the place was freaken jam packed and I've never seen so many people at the theatre almost an hour before the movie starts, while it's snowing **** loads outside, and all while the movie has already been a out a couple of weeks. :o It was weird.lol. When the movie ended it was 12:30, and everybody started clapping and cheering....lol.....But yeah, and then we drove home at 25 M.P.H on the freeway again cuz of all the snow (and all day there were weather reports telling people not to drive after 10 PM). Right now there are like between 2 1/2 or 3 feet of snow outside, and I'm not kidding either, and the snow still hasn't stopped! :eek: I've never seen so much snow in my life!!!!!!!!!
Well this is long and boring,lol, so bye bye :p

Dec 26th, 2003, 03:40 PM
WELL did you like Return of the King? You didn't say if you did or didn't. It was awesome I saw the Trilogy Tuesday which was all 3 movies in a row and the first two were the EXTENDED versions. So that was 13 hours in the same movie theater. It started at 2 pm and ended at 1:30am and everyone claped for that too. :)

*Candy*
Dec 26th, 2003, 04:30 PM
I would die if I spend 13 hours sitting and watching a movie,lol :p

I did like it though :) It was a very good movie, my fave one in the trilogy :) People told me a lot of what was gonna happen (after I told them not to,but nnooo, they just kept babbeling,lol) but it was still sssoo suspensefull! Poor Smiegel though (I have no clue how to spell that,sorry). But I do wish that more had happened with Legolas (Orlando Bloom)!! Like nothing happened! *Pouts* I wanted to see more of him in the end. But I did have to pee for almost the last hour of it so I was getting impatient and I was like "End already! I don't care about Sam's tears, my bladder is ready to explode!!" lol, but I still enjoyed the end:D

BSB_GGD_TC still havent seen the 2nd one.... or 3rd one.....

It's a MUST they are all EXCELLENT MOVIES :D

Obsessed Lord of the Rings fan here as well :D

I know what your talking about I wanted them to go into more on Legolas but in the book the elves weren't that much in them. They took a back seat to the Hobbits and Humans so Pete was really awesome by making it more about the elves too I'm really happy with his redition of the books even though he sugar coated the end of the movie with the Shire and all but I can understand that he didn't like the way the book ended and who wouldn't want to change and ending if they could?!! I'm happy with it none the less. If you haven't read the book or it's appendexes Legolas and Gimli go off and see the caves in Helm's Deep which were vast with beauties since Elves traditionally don't like underground and prefer outside, Gimli wanted him to witness it. Then they go and explore Fangorn forest which was what Legolas wanted Gimli to really understand. Then they keep to Gondor until the King dies then they build a boat and travel to the Grey Havens to be with the rest of the elves and Gimli is granted entry which only happens for a few who aren't elves. Gimli wanted to see Galandrial again. That's the end of their story. I'm hoping they put more in on the extended version of Return of the King since they left alot of crucial stuff out.

Ok going to get the Tolkien out of here :)

*Candy*
Dec 27th, 2003, 06:27 PM

Not everyone wants to get in your pants Mr. Rzeznik!

Are you sure about taht know some girl that would not mind hehe j/k


but back to the subject about jonh drinking etc, i had som much respect for him asa musican, and you know how you said once meet him love is over, i have to disagree i meet him austin concert december 2003. There wasa line where their buses where bracaded off there where 30-40 people and he came out to sign ever one thing. Now when he takes the time out to do that asa fan you aprrecite them more. as for teh partying thing i dont agree with the drinking and the smoking weed but who the hell am i to judge his action describe my best buds ryan toa T. His dad was killed at 16 and just as john did i think he uses the drinking and the smoking pot to get away from the thought of past. Guess asa fan i dont want ot admit that he does but i cant deny it does it make me like him as a musican any less no. i mean most rock bnAds are on some sort of drug. i dont agree with it but it not my life i like the band for their music what they do on their own time is none of my business i try and sperate the private life and the music.


also i heard on VH! my bro sawa goo special and they said that mike was the party guy he was with tons of diffrent women at ever concert so i do think it just john that doing the partying not that i care becase they are old enough to realize what is right and wrong. i could tell my bud ryan pot is mad but he wont listen just as i would tell john he would tell me blow off,

*Candy*
Feb 9th, 2004, 08:28 AM
Acctaully "Blow off" is an exprecision that I could see John using.... as for the partying, it is his life, and we can't dictate it. He's old enough to take care of himself. John is a big boy now,lol.


Did anyone watch the Osbournes when Jack got his car? He started singing "Mommy, I'm a big kid now" lol

BSB_GGD_TC
Feb 9th, 2004, 02:53 PM
^^^haha, yes, I did see that with Jack Osborne.

As Candy said he is a big boy now, and he can make is own choices. I would like to see him lay off the alcohol and weed a little bit, but that isnt my choice, its his, and I will not lose any respect for him if he chooses not to. I still love the man in every way possible. His lyrics have touched my soul more than any other musician has even come close to doing and for that, I am a Goo fan for life.

oh, and btw dirtyxtinafan, I wouldnt mind either;)

*Candy*
Feb 11th, 2004, 04:11 PM

Also last November the goo goo dolls concert in Grand Forks... for the love of god I thought I was gonna get squeezed to death in the mosh pit. lol, I have been to seven ggd's concerts and that was the only one Ive been to that was completely out of had like that.

*Candy*
Feb 22nd, 2004, 02:02 PM
I seriously wonder what the longest thread to be on LD was....hmm.... And do you think that the mod ever comes in here? I believe the mod if Bjorkfan, I wonder if she does..hmm...maybe she would close it after like page 70 or something cuz it would be getting insanly long,lol. Is there a length limit to threads? I would make one if I was LD, a thread that 112 pages long would take up too much space, but then again, a whole bunch of smaller threads would do the same....

BSB_GGD_TC
Feb 22nd, 2004, 04:20 PM
you are right about that. Haha, I have also wondered myself if the mod comes in here and reads this! *gives a shout out to the mod* I am sure that after too long they would shut us down. Some of the threads in the bsb forums for like the games and stuff get to be like 35 pages long... I dunno what the deal is.

Take the survey. America was the 2nd dumbest country, Mexico was the dumbest.
I missed two questions. I confused El Nino with Global Warming cuz I didn't read the whole question, and I couldn't locate Sweden, I located Norway,lol. Got 18/20
The survey is very short, only 20 questions.


"Survey Results: U.S. Young Adults Are Lagging

Despite the daily bombardment of news from the Middle East, Central Asia, and other world trouble spots, roughly 85 percent of young Americans could not find Afghanistan, Iraq, or Israel on a map, according to a new study.

Americans ages 18 to 24 came in next to last among nine countries in the National Geographic-Roper 2002 Global Geographic Literacy Survey, which quizzed more than 3,000 young adults in Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States. Top scorers were young adults in Sweden, Germany, and Italy.

Out of 56 questions that were asked across all countries surveyed, on average young Americans answered 23 questions correctly. Others outside the U.S., most notably young adults in Mexico, also struggled with basic geography facts. Young people in Canada and Great Britain fared almost as poorly as those in the U.S.

Among young Americans’ startling knowledge gaps, the study found that

• nearly 30 percent of those surveyed could not find the Pacific Ocean, the world’s largest body of water;
• more than half—56 percent—were unable to locate India, home to 17 percent of people on Earth; and
• only 19 percent could name four countries that officially acknowledge having nuclear weapons.
Several perhaps interrelated factors affected performance—educational experience (including taking a geography course), international travel and language skills, a varied diet of news sources, and Internet use. Americans who reported that they accessed the Internet within the last 30 days scored 65 percent higher than those who did not."

I got a 17/20. I cant believe how stupid americans are! That is so imbarassing. I kicked ass on the locating the countries part of it. I cant believe that 30 percent of americans couldnt locate the pacific ocean, and wasnt it like 20 percent couldnt even locate the united states on a world map?! for the love of god this country needs help.

*Candy*
Feb 28th, 2004, 05:09 PM
11% of Americans couldn't locate the U.S. lol! Sorta is embarrassing. But I'm not American, and I could find the US on the map, so haha to those who couldn't!

BSB_GGD_TC
Feb 28th, 2004, 05:12 PM
haha, yeah, thats true, you have an excuse... I dont know what everyone elses excuse is. Makes you wonder what everyone was thinking when they were in grade school. Most of that stuff I learned in elementary!

*Candy*
Feb 28th, 2004, 05:31 PM
Only 25% of Americans knew the population of the US, that is worse than any other country.
Only 58% of Americans knew that Al Qaeda was based in Afghanistan, which is worse than any other country. The country that had the second lowest score on this question was France, with 70%.
Only 44% of Americans knew that the European Union endorsed the Euro, worse than any other country.
Only 25% of Americans knew that China and India are the two countries with a population of more than 1 billion people. Only Mexico did worse on this question, with 10% of people knowing the answer.
Only 89% of Americans could locate America on a map, only Great Britain scored less, with 79% (all other countries had scored in the 90's and high 80's)
Only 62% of Americans could locate Russia on a map(Russia also happens to be the largest country on the planet, so it's not excatly easy to miss), they did worse than any other country.
Only 42% of Americans could locate Japan on a map, worse than any other country.
Only 56% of Americans could locate Italy on a map, by far the worse than any other country (really, by far).
Only 16% of Americans could locate Sweden on a map, with only Mexcio doing worse.
A lot of Countries couldn't locate the Pacific Ocean acctaully, especialy not Great Britain (only had 52%!!). The US was in 5th place, tied with Germany.
Only 17% of Americans could locate Afghanistan on a map, only Mexico did worse, with 12%.
Only 21% of Americans could locate Israel on a map, doing only better than Mexico and Canada.
Only 27% of Americans could locate Argentina, doing worse than any other country.

YAY! Saruman is back and better than ever I presume. The very founder of this thread. kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesnt it?

I just got back from fargo I have been up since 5:45 this morning until now, and it is 12:20pm checking out art exibits all over the place. Who knew North Dakota actually had some cool art galleries. We walked into this one room, and I was like, ok, what is so great about this room, there are just some people sitting around in here.... man... they are awefully still.. .OH maybe thats because they werent real. They were amazing... they took molds of people and they guy painting them so real. One of the old ladies had vericous(SP) veins on her legs, it looked just as real as my leg. lots of cool stuff. It actually inspired me to get my ass into creative mode again.

How was your friday night? I had fun, went to a concert but my feet hurt (wearing 3 3/4 inch heels from 7PM till 1:30 AM is not a good idea)!

BSB_GGD_TC
Mar 21st, 2004, 02:34 AM
ooooo! ouch. that sucks. What concert did you go to? Those are always a good time. My friday night was alright I guess I hung out with some friends, and did the same thing tonight.

I cant find my cell phone anywhere!!! its sooo annoying cause no one knows my house number, and I dont have anyone else's phone number except for where I have it stored in my phone. I feel lost in the world. Who knew I would ever find myself depending on a small wireless device for so much?

*Candy*
Mar 21st, 2004, 03:46 PM
It was nobody that you would have ever heard of.
That's sucky! But lol, sad! That's why you should keep an address/phone book! Why don't you call your cell from your home phone? Maybe it's lost somewere in your closet or something? :confused:

BSB_GGD_TC
Mar 21st, 2004, 05:57 PM
well, I would more than love to do that, but it is dead, and the last time I seen it was in my car when my friend was using it, then it died on her, and I havent seen it sense. She doesnt have it, it isnt in my appartment or my car, and it isnt at my other friends house that I was at last night. UH! I dunno what Im gonna do now. Guess I am gonna have to get a new phone which I cant afford and I am gonna have to email everyone I know and get their phone numbers back. How sucky.:mad:

*Candy*
Mar 21st, 2004, 06:28 PM
Maybe someone stole it, call, cuz if it rings you know they charged it.

BSB_GGD_TC
Mar 22nd, 2004, 12:09 AM
yeah, I called it, and it doesnt ring, my voice mail picks up right away. who knows where it is! UHH it is so frusterating, now I gotta go through the whole process of calling the +100 people I have in my phone book and get their phone numbers and crap.

Have you seen "About a Boy" with Hugh Grant? I watched it tonight and it was actually pretty good.
