NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!???!!!!Have you heard the news?? Have you heard the high, glass-breaking, soprano voices practicing? Have you gathered your posters, books, buttons, watches, socks, rings, stickers, tatoos (none, thank God!), t-shirts, and stuffed "I LUV NKOTB" teddy bears out of the attic?? Well, if not, get going! The boys are comin' back! Or shall I say men? Or shall I say.....even older men? (I think I heard Jonathan is 40! Yikes!)
Anyhoo, at the precious (precocious) age of 12, I was all set to be Jordan Knight's future wife. I vividly remember getting dressed for their concert, and TOTALLY thinking that in my cute denim overalls and glasses ( and off the shoulder black shirt, I might add) that Jordan was going to see me, COME OFF THE STAGE, and fall in love with a 12 year old. Gross! Ewww......
Thankfully, I wasn't alone. It was my sister, my neighbors, some of my friends....we all were slobbering, blithering idiots. But we had fun! I still love Jordan. Well, the old Jordan. Boog will just have to live in his spotlight forever! Hang Tough girls!
(Please don't mention this in public.)

I am soooo totally going to their concert!! I've been living for this day...and it has finally come. Thank goodness I was a Jonathan girl--we won't have to fight over who gets Jordan.
As for my crazy, psycho, unnatural attachment to the New Kids: I made them a video (with jen Stribble) documenting my love for them, I created a song on the piano that I worked on for a week, posters all over my room, entries in my diary, endless hours of watching the "Step-by-Step" documentary, and forcing YOU to play Jordan's piano solo over and over!!!!
STEP BY STEP, OOOH BABY
GONNA GET TO YOU GIIIIIIRRRRL
STEP BY STEP, OOOH BABY
REALLY WANTCHA IN MY WOOOOORRRLLLD.

I know they were singing these lyrics just for MEEEEE!
I'm sorry to have to tell you this Flo, but......I WAS Jordan's girlfriend and when they come back...I will so be there!
I remember you being totally crazy over Jordan..Angela making a video for them is hilarious.
Do you remember going to a Poison concert in Shreveport in your dad's lime green van? We tie-died t shirts and cut up our jeans!! Fun times and memories.
