(Joey, that title was for you!)
They begged, "Please don't go girl," and I never did. When the rest of the world became New Kids on The Block haters, I reapplied super glue to the back of their poster to keep it displayed proudly on my Trapper Keeper. When the "they're gay" rumors swirled, I plugged my ears and delicately puffy painted all of my slap bracelets so everyone would know that "Jordan Knight IS MINE 4-EVER." I woke up each morning, put on my Jordan Knight t-shirt, put my hair up in a NKOTB scrunchie and attached my 6-inch New Kids button to my pants. I would struggle to choose just one of their many wonderful cassettes (their Christmas album is my all-time fav), pop one into my Walkman and head to school. I ended each day by sweetly serenading their poster, kissing each of them good night and climbing into my New Kids sleeping bag.
I have patiently waited for this day for almost 20 years and now it is here. Some say their husbands and children complete their lives. No offense to either, but now that Jon, Danny, Donny, Jordan and Joe have announced their reunion tour and upcoming album, I feel the universe is right again, and I am whole!
More to come on concert dates, venues, etc. Even if I have to fly halfway across the country, I am there. Who's with me? Oh and don't worry if you can't find your New Kids shoe laces for the concert, I have a spare set you can borrow.

I can't be your friend anymore...
Back off, Amber...Jordan is MINE!!!!!! I already told Coy I would be attending the reunion concert that is closest to me....no matter where closest is!
Funn-y! I never knew you had such strong attachments to NKOTB! Aren't we a little young for them? In my memory they were really cool when my sisters were in Jr. High - they had posters of them. Maybe I am remembering wrong, or maybe I just didn't care about music until I was really old. Sorry, can't relate, but hope you get to see them in concert!
WOW, I had no idea! Does Joey love them as much as you do?
Ok...I will still be your friend...as long as you don't make me listen to them when we finally have our long-awaited playdate...
Amber....I thought we had moved on from this. For those of you who may not have had the pleasure of knowing Amber in this phase, I'm here to tell you that she is not being entirely accurate in her enjoyment of NKOTB.....she was WAY more obsessed with them that what she is letting on, I mean WAY MORE!
Glad to see old habits are dying hard! I knew I still LYLAS!!!
OMG> We are going to be sister-in-laws after you marry Jordan and I marry Jon. We can BBQ together and buy houses next door to each other. I'm just going to strat calling you sis!
You are so funny!

Dude I'm totally there. There's nothing better than a little "Hangin Though" to get you through.
