To go on hiatus!
That's right. The Christmas season is upon us. I am working like a dog, feeling sick (again), and getting all the baking done for Christmas, nevermind filling Santa in on the behavior of my kids (husband included).
To all of you, have a safe and happy holiday season. Drink Rum and Egg Nog until you can drink no more, or Dance like Elaine...whichever comes first.
On to 2009, and hopefully another tour?
See you next year!

The American leg is over
It seems like the tour just started, but the American leg is over! WOW! Where did the past 3 months go?
The guys have worked their butts off to give us such an amazing experience and we won't forget this. Even if there is a Spring/Summer American tour this was the one that brought us all together, reunited the fans with the guys, gave us our facetime, let us live out our teen fantasies of meeting them or seeing them again.
This tour was amazing! Mexico and the UK sure have something to look forward to. I am so glad I was a part, albeit a small part, of this adventure for them. They work hard, sacrifice their private lives, have NO personal time for all things NKOTB!
Soon they will have a month off before heading to Europe. They will have some much deserved family time, they will had a much deserved break.
If by chance they have stumbled upon this tiny little blog, in the universe of the internet, I want them to know that they are amazing, loved and appreciated.

And Back to reality :(
Unlike many NKOTB fans who have attended concerts, I did not get the opportunity to slowly come down from my New Kids high.
Friday I got a phone call that my grandfather was in the hospital and non responsive.
Saturday night I learned he passed away.
He was a relatively healthy man. He lived in Wales, so its not like I could just run to the hospital to see him and tell him I love him. Instead, I have to stay here in Canada take care of my two little girls and know that my mum is going to do all the things I want to do for him.
I miss the New Kids, yes...but I am sure I can see them again.

I'll be loving you forever!
omg....
OMG
I DID IT! I MET THEM! I TURNED INTO A SCREAMING 16 YEAR OLD FANGIRL! I GOT MY FACE TIME!!!!
Let's start at the beginning...put your feet up, grab a coffee, get comfortable...
12:15
Carrie comes to pick up my sister and I
12:45
Watching the busses sitting by Rexall place from the restaurant. We have a drink and decide to go over there and turn into teeny boppers
1:00
That wind is cold
1:30
OMG BABY DADDY BUS PULLS UP THERE'S ZACH
2:30ish
THE DARK KNIGHT BUS ROLLS IN...got pics of Jordan crossing the parking lot. He waves. Jon is still on the bus
2:45ish
Melissa and friend arrive (Brandy I think, I'm sorry Melissa) Jon comes out of bus pictures are taken.
3:00
I meet Matty D! He was so sweet! In case you read this Matty! Thanks for being so kind to my sister and friends the other night, and of course taking the time out to talk to me
3:15ish
Joe's bus arrives.
3:45ish
Go to meet Beth, Tasha and Amber
3:55
Find out I miss Danny
3:57ish
The girls and I are walking back when Joe walks across the parking lot and into the building
4:40
Line up for ILAA
5:30
We are Group E. We check all of our phones and cameras in my purse (ILAA prefers them in your own bag)I *think* I have everything I need out of it
TIME FOR MEET AND GREET
Ok, so we were waiting for meet and greet. We were group E (5th group of 10 to go in) Got really nervous and the curtains opened.
5 of THE most beautiful men I have EVER seen in my life were standing right in front of me and I got SO confused.
Jon came up to me first and said " C'mere Girl" Gave me a big ol warm hug and kinda grunted. All I got out was JON Thank you.
I spin around and Danny is walking to me with open arms. He put his hands on my hips, went UP my sides and curved to my back and swallowed me up! HE SMELLS AWESOME. He said " Hey girl! I want a hug"
I got turned around again tried to get to Donnie it didn't happen, and then it was picture time.
Jordan puts his arm around me, then my friend Beth squeezed in and Jordan looked at her funny, She said to him "she knows I'm a Jordan girl" He said to me "I'll stand next to you for the next one honey, I'm so sorry" I replied "It's ok Jordan I DO know shes a Jordan girl, it is SO cool" Him and I both had our arm around Beth and he kept rubbing mine. He apologized again after and gave me a quick hug.
I spin around and this guy is staring at my shirt. I had no clue who he was...for a brief moment until he spoke... reading my shirt he says "I carried a watermelon?" So I replied " It was the first line Baby said to Johnny Castle on Dirty Dancing...I thought it was appropriate" Joe cocked his head to the side and thought for a second...His BEAUTIFUL blue eyes lit up and he said "IT WAS HER FIRST LINE...Lets get this girl" and with that he swallowed me in his arms.
On my way out the door, Danny grabbed me again. Hugged me and ran his hands up and down my sides again!
OMFG I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE!!!! Danny. He smells so good!
The concert was amazing. we were 4th row! I almost cried for I'll be loving you and when Step by Step was done. It was SO HARD to watch them leave the stage...again. I had no idea the last time I saw them would be THE last time (until now) and I truly hope I can see them again.
Every note was amazing...Click click click pose...made me pee my pants laughing. I will for sure post pics later.
But most importantly, because of these men I got to meet some AMAZING WOMEN!
Beth and Tasha came all the way from Oregon. They were originally supposed to go to Portland which was cancelled due to the American Music Awards and the New Kids appearance on it. I offered to help Beth find a nice place to stay, directions on how to get there, met up with her, made sure they were with me as often as possible. Love you girls!
Krista and her daughter Samantha. Krista brought her daughter to NKOTB is that not cool?! Its also Samantha's very first concert!!!! Krista made my beautiful shirt for me. Krista hon, you rock!
Amber...crazy preggo! Still can't believe you toughed it out and came all the way to Etown for a concert whern you are 7 months preggo! IT ROCKED!!!
Melissa and friend (Brandi I think)Wicked crazy die hard NKOTB fans. Melissa even labels her NKOTB items with the names of the kids just in case she ever forgets! *wink*
Carrie! My psychotic Donnie compadre! You wanted it! You got it! Do not feel bad. It was your time to shine and you did it hon! LOVE YA BABE!
All in all a wicked night!
***edit****
After the M&G we went to get our cameras and the table was GONE. My purse, my money...ya I did forget something in my purse...friggin money. Took over an hour to find out where it was, as ILAA moved them and did not announce this to ANY of us 5* peeps...needless to say that was the BIGGEST act of unprofessionalism I have EVER seen!

OMG ONE DAY
Ok...I havent' blogged in a couple of days. I am so tired from the lack of sleep that I have had its not funny.
I keep playing the Meet and greet out in my head. Who will I meet first? What will I say? Will I choke? Will they 'get' my shirt...not to have, but get it. Will I panic? Will I freeze? Will it snow? Will it be fairly warm?
SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
STEP 4!
Joe...Joey Mac! I remember watching him in the sign graveyard on the Hangin Tough VHS. Standing in front of the Golden Nugget sign. I remember his hat with a hole, the happy face jacket, the blue blue eyes and the curly hair.
.
.
.
OMG I honestly don't know what else to write. I'M FLIPPING OUT! The guys could totally be here in this city right now.
Tomorrow's the big day! WOOT!

If only it was Jordan, if only it was.
So its official...3 days until my concert!
I am abso - freakin - lutely flipped out!
They are heading to my city TOMORROW! They will probably be here on MONDAY! I'll be breathing the same air as NKOTB!
Jordan Knight...
I remember the batman shirt, the rat tail, the puppy dog eyes and the adam's apple...My cousin wanted to take a bite of that. I remember touching his hand at the Coliseum (now Rexall Place). I remember the first time I heard "I'll be loving you, Forever" *swoon*
I am so excited to see him again!

Step TWO.....There's so much we can do
There is! There truly is!
4 days! OMG I am totally feeling it now. I barely slept last night. I'm a silly fangirl.
Step Two was sung by Donnie....
*drool*
must....come.....back.....to......reality
I don't know what it is that drives me to that man. I LOVED him in Band of Brothers, as did my husband. I LOVED him as the rebellious New Kid with the motorcycles, barefeet and skeleton pants. He's a father, he's dedicated and he's kind.
*sigh*
I can say no more...seriously....HTH am I going to be at the M&G?!

Step One .. ... We can have lots of fun
5 Days......Still waiting for my email confirmation from ILAA, but I know we are only 5 days away, and I am really getting excited!
I feel giddy. I giggle. I am having trouble sleeping. I am finding NKOTB fans in the weirdest places (work for example...punk rock chick....cool beans).
So the line for STEP ONE is sung by Danny I would like to talk about what Danny means to me and many others....
Danny Wood. He is a wonderful man. Loving and giving to his family. I remember Danny being the break dancer, the weight lifter, the one who says "Try it you might like it, so I will try". I remember his rat tail, and how I was so jealous that his was thick and curly, while mine resembled a rat tail...long and straight.
I wanted to meet Danny back in the day and I finally get to! I am freaking out! He has tattoos! I LOVE TATTOOS!
I don't know what to expect from my meet and greet, other than smelling Danny (apparently he smells like a god and I will be sniffing him to prove it to myself), and getting one of his wonderful hugs.
I HAVE BUTTERFLIES!

I'm shaking
It came!!! I GOT MY ID IN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! Now its official, I can start freaking out! HOLY CRAP!
I woke this morning knowing it was a mere 6 days until I see NKOTB. Imagining what I will say to them, if there is time for me to speak. Will I just give them hugs? Will I cry? Will I faint?
SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!
This isn't real! It's not real! How can it be real? NKOTB disbanded after Jon's horse accident in the early 90's. I watch them on TV now. HOW CAN I BE MEETING THEM ALL? The adrenaline that is coursing through my body is amazing. Damn, I'm on the verge of tears. I get to meet my first love! My first obsession. OMG
I don't know how I am going to get through the next few days. It's coming so fast. I feel like I am on a rollercoaster. Speeding down the tracks, screaming my head off and then like magic *poof* its over.
I don't want it to end.
I don't want it to speed up.
I don't want to let go.
Sleep is becoming impossible. I feel like a kid at Christmas. WHAT KIND OF POWER DO THE MEN OF NKOTB HAVE OVER US?! I am swallowed up by it all. I am amazed and thankful we have this chance again. I am proud to be a BLOCKHEAD!
Must...drink....more...coffee.

8 days
WOW! It is really getting real now! OMG!!!
In 8 days I will be getting hugs from all the guys! I will be seeing them perform for the first time in 18 years. I will be screaming, definitely will be losing my voice!
I can't believe it!!!!!!!
This tour means so much more to me than a return of the 5 hottest...uhm...most talented guys in show business. It means a chance to make new friends, to relive my youth even for a brief moment, to forget about my own worries and to be carefree! It's giving me a chance to be selfish (which as a mom I am not allowed to do)and think of only me for just a few hours.
I want time to hurry up and stop. I want the 2 minutes I have with the guys to last an eternity. I want to feel the warmth of their arms as they greet me with a hug. I want to talk to them without tears welling up. I want to welcome them home. I want to thank Robo for all of his dedicated years to these guys! He IS the man! I want to make it through the concert without passing out.
*sigh*
8 FLIPPING DAYS!!!!!!!

One Dozen
That's it. ONE DOZEN, 12 days away from my concert. And just as I feared (erm - knew really) would happen, the days are getting crisp. *sigh*
I can't stop watching Single. DAMN I love that video.
I still haven't watched spoilers. The last video I gave in and watched was when Donnie dropped trow at one of the shows. I HAD to see that one ;)
Closer closer.
HURRY UP AND STOP ALREADY!!!!

15 days
WOW. Can this be possible? Only 15 days until my concert, FINALLY?
Still am not 100% sure about what to wear.
Still have no clue how to get to meet ALL the guys. Sure I am a Donnie girl, but without all 5 of them, this would not be happening.
I missed blogging yesterday. I had a really hard day at work and had a massive stress headache when I got home. WONDERFUL. And to top it off, I started feeling like I was getting another cold. Isn't 2.5 weeks enough? I ran out and bought some Cold FX and started taking it. Lets get rid of it before it sets in for good.
There was a new NKTV, Donnie in the Waffle house with some fans. Telling Robo to stop trying to prevent Facetime LOL
Jon Blogged today. Reminding everyone to vote. Being Canadian, I want to see Obama in the Whitehouse (my opinion) I like him alot, for many reasons. All of which I will not get into because this is not a political blog. This is a fan diary.
Hoping there will be no snow the day of the concert
Hoping the arctic air will stay in the arctic.
Hoping to meet all of the guys.
15 days.
Still am not 100% sure about what to wear.
Still have no clue how to get to meet ALL the guys. Sure I am a Donnie girl, but without all 5 of them, this would not be happening.
I missed blogging yesterday. I had a really hard day at work and had a massive stress headache when I got home. WONDERFUL. And to top it off, I started feeling like I was getting another cold.

18 years ago TODAY I was at my last NKOTB concert.
It was the NO MORE GAMES tour.
A day of hanging about Rexall place (formerly the Coliseum) in the cold crisp November air.
Waiting for the busses.
Wearing ripped Jeans.
Hoping to catch a glimpse.
I touched Jon's hand,
Followed by Jordan.
And it was the day of the peace symbol belt incident with Donnie.
*sigh*
So many moons ago.
17 days until my next concert!
WOOHOOO!!!!

19 Days! Jonathan Blogged!
I woke up this morning, barely able to open my eyes, and saw that Jon Blogged!
Jon is doing an amazing job of answering the questions. Honest and funny. LOVE IT! He keeps going back to the "tractor" tho. LMAO. And I am sure he opened up a can of worms with his comment about the tape...animals...ya go read it!
So 19 days left. OMG its really picking up speed now. Still have no clue what to wear. At least I know I can't wear a trenchcoat and heels, I don't want to wear the same thing as one of my friends lmao.
In disappointing news today, someone smashed my daughter's jack o lantern. nice huh? She's a little upset by it, she could see the carnage in the street. Poor kid, she's only 3. Why are some people out just to ruin it for the kids? OMG. It makes me mad.
Tomorrow is Halloween. My little girl wants to be Darth Vader!!! YUP and her daddy is going to be a storm trooper. LOL. I can't wait to take pics. Of course tho, the pics will not be posted on this blogger site, as to keep my family safe. I will share only with my friends.
Until tomorrow

20 days
In no time it will be her, and done. Seems like just yesterday tickets went on sale. In fact it was like 6 months ago. My daughter was a mere 8 months old at the time...NOW she's 14 months (soon to be 15 months). WOW!
I am really looking forward to this concert (if you couldn't already tell). Not only do I get to see and MEET NKOTB but I get to meet so many wonderful women from the site. The guys have given us a wonderful opportunity and for this I thank them.
Joe blogged today. About MSG and how it was walking down the halls of such an amazing place. I can just imagine what that would be like. Surreal. Walking down the same hallway as your idol. Performing in the same arena as your idol. WOW!
The guys totally deserve full credit for the comeback. They are amazing men, who know just how much they mean to us, and in turn, how much we mean to them.
Can't wait until the 18th!

21 days!!! All about Donnie
So we are getting down to the nitty gritty here. 21 days left!!!
I can't believe that I get to MEET the guys after loving them for 20 years. I was, am and always will be a fan. When they weren't together as NKOTB, I cheered for their choices, googled them and watched tv, movies and videos featuring them. This tour is the icing on the cake.
So as you all know, I am a Donnie fan. I love that man in everything that he does (Band of Brothers...all time favorite). What do I say when I meet him? Will I have words or will they escape me? I hope I don't cry. I hope I don't faint. I hope I hope. LOL. This man is so amazing, but all you Donnie fans know this already. What is it about his Donnieness?
I have always loved Donnie. I used to kiss my Donnie posters goodnight. His voice was so soft. He always had a soft spot for us fans (even ones like myself that almost accidentally beaned him in the head with peace symbol belts). He had the love of the game.
Donnie grew up to be the man I always thought he would (the man that WE as fans know, not that I know what he is truly like in person, but I assume it is the same)Generous, kind, loving, enduring and DAMN SEXY!
So what do you say to someone you have loved for 20 years? Thank you? No, its been said before...I love you? That's been said too...how about I am so sorry I almost knocked you out with a peace symbol belt right outside these doors 18 years ago...
Might be a good opener....

I can see the headlines now.....
THE BLOCK DRIVES LOCAL MOTHERS LOCO
OMG. What is it that they are doing to us? What power do they have over us? Are there really subliminal messages in their new album? When you play it backwards does it have a secret chant?
With 25 days to go, I caved. I am weak. I upgraded my ticket to a 5* Meet and Greet ticket!
I can't believe I did this. I swore I wouldn't but DAMN I couldn't resist. That Donnie has a strange power over me.
I am shaking.
I am hyperventilating.
I might cry.
ACK

28 days
4 weeks from today
WOWZERS!!!
Just learned new things about that day. EXCITED! I have a couple of really good friends on nkotb.com that keep me in the know....cool chicadees they are.
Makin stuff for the meet up...making a Lumbeegrl ribbon to wear, she IS coming to the concert with me (Miss you Denise), makin plans, makin new plans and scratching the old ones. LOL indecisiveness is my middle name.
Finding posers and liars on many platforms. Everyone is trying to cash in on the pandamonium of nkotb. So my message to them (because apparently they have read this blog)...I know who you are. I know what you are trying to pull. Others know and are wise to your posing.
Anyhoo...28 days!!! Looking for a cheap decent concert camera. I am 4th row so I don't need anything super extravagant. Just cheap LOL. I have a really good camera now, but can't take it to the concert since its a professional camera. Cheap, point and shoot...that's all I want.

Blockheads can not be kept down!
So I heard some devastating news this evening.
My good friend and fellow blockhead has been scrimping and saving to go to the upcoming concert in LA. Well...her buttmunch of a husband spent HER ticket money on a gadget for the computer....
SO NOT COOL. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS ONE BIT!!! NAY NAY.
We are trying to get donations for those who want to help out our blockhead sister in her dream of seeing the guys for the first time ever! She was 6 when she got bit by the nkotb bug.
YOU CAN NOT KEEP A BLOCKHEAD DOWN! She is going to this concert and that is that!
NINJAS UNITE!

Here it comes.
Faster

Our time will be soon enough. I will want it to stand still, but in a blink it will be over.
When the reunion was first announced I thought it would be cool and I would be fine waiting until the show, but no
I find myself on nkotb.com almost all the time. Meeting new people. Helping to find hotels for the girls coming to the city from various other places, trying to arrange meet up times so that I can meet some of the wonderful women on line.
Both Danny and Jonathan blogged today. Jon suggested a Q&A type of thread...uncensored, I can't wait to read his answers! It's so nice to hear from Jonathan we don't hear from him enough. Danny wrote about the tour and Breast Cancer awareness. These guys truly are wonderful.
Till tomorrow, unless I think of something else to blog today :D

33 days!!!
33 days to go! The countdown is officially in full effect.
So over the past couple of days I started thinking about how sneaky Donnie used to be. Dressing in Drag for Much Music, jumping out of hotel windows...it makes me wonder if the guys have their own pages over on NKOTB.COM. Sure there is the official NKOTB member, but is that them? I know they read the blogs, and posts, and pages...but who are they? You do need membership to get access to the private community that is NKOTB.COM afterall.
It just makes me wonder if I would know who they were by a post, or a comment. I can sniff out a phony on Myspace or Facebook like nothing but on this community its a little harder. Most of the members have the names of their favorite in their name (ok not most but many) some have really obscure names (pizzle for example) and some use their real first names. I just wanna be a sleuth and find them but at the same time I don't want to invade their privacy...just curious is all, but it sure would be fun to find them :)
I have also been wondering what I would say to the guys if that slim chance actually happened and I got to meet them on Nov. 18. I have no clue. I would be afraid of making an ass out of myself, and talking too much, or not saying anything at all. Which is the lesser of two evils? I guess as long as I am not an overbearing screaming slobbering mess I should be ok.
33 days. WOW. It's really close now. If I could only get over this cold I would be happy. 33 is not alot. It will be here before we know it...that reminds me, I have to buy more halloween candy...I don't have nearly enough for the boys and ghouls this year.

34 days!!!
34 days left and I get to meet a whole bunch of wicked awesome NKOTB fans and of course I get to see the guys!
You'd think I was already at the concert as my voice is almost gone. This cold is kicking my butt big time. I'm downing Ricola, NeoCitran, Tea, Vicks Vaporub... you name it I'm doing it. I have 34 days to get better and dammit I will get better LOL

35 Days
So there are a mere 35 days left until the concert here. I have officially turned my 3 year old into a Blockhead! She LOVES Summertime and always wants to see the "Summertime guys" LOL. This morning we were listening to THE BLOCK and she was dancing up a storm. When SINGLE came on she said "I like this song Mommy". She knows who Donnie is (yup...my fault) and keeps asking who the other guys are. Much to my hubby's chagrin, she is a Blockhead. LOL
Trying to arrange a meet up with all my girls here in the city to meet at the statue. I can't wait! Meeting people is awesome, especially if there is one thing in common. I had given my number to one of the girls on the site and when she did call me the next day it was like we were long lost sisters. She is awesome. Carrie we are gonna rock Rexall! We are both Donnie girls but he is more than enough man to share :D
I have successfully avoided any videos from concerts, but my chat girls (NINJAS UNITE) have already been to a few concerts and keep taking pics of the D. Of course, I have to look and drool and mmmmm. But I promise I am not reading spoilers nor am I watching videos!
Can't wait to see the guys, and to meet my girls. The next 35 days will be filled with careful planning, and EXTREME excitement as the 18th gets closer.

Dunno how to feel
Donnie posted a new blog last night, and I want to start off my blog by quoting his:
Ok...Why does Donnie have to answer to any of us? Why does he feel he needs to explain himself? Because there are always people who are not happy with the time they DO get from the guys. This comeback is bringing back alot more than the "feeling" of being 16, it is literally turning some of us GROWN WOMEN into 16 year olds. Shoving, pushing, elbowing, and being ungrateful.
I am a BIG NKOTB fan. I mean HUGE! But here's the thing. Although I would love to meet Donnie (especially) and the rest of the guys, I know that the possibility is slim. Sure I am still going to try, hey it never hurts to try anything once ;) but if I don't succeed I am not going to be pissed off at the guys because of it. I chose NOT to buy a 5* ticket. I chose NOT to go to any concerts besides the one in my own city. I will be happy just going to the show and seeing them perform after 18 years. If I manage to get a kick ass pic of me and the D, that will be icing on the cake, but once again...slim chance.
Just because you have facetime on your shirt, or have 5*, or have passes to get to their after parties, this DOES NOT mean that you are ENTITLED to more than what the guys can give. Whether it be a wave, a hug, a kiss, a picture or an autograph. They are only 5, we are tens of thousands, or millions. HOW THE HELL can each of us get what we want?
Until I see them here in my city, I'm going to avoid all the negative talk. The talk that may just shut down the community again if it continues (speculation who knows right?) There is so much bloody bickering over there right now, over facetime and the like *sigh*
I'm jumping off my soapbox now....36 days until my concert! I am going to get better (still sicker than a dog) try to enjoy my Thanksgiving (today for us Canucks) and wait patiently for the show and maybe JUST MAYBE a chance at an autograph or a chance to apologize to Donnie for that Peace symbol belt mishap from 18 years ago.

MORE FROM DONNIE
Hey All…
To all the many fans that I meet-
You know I always do my best to give you crazy love!!!!
I try to keep it real with the FACE TIME!!!!
I love seeing y’all.
Sometimes I rush because we got obligations….
Sometimes there is no time for autographs….
Only hugs…
Or pictures.
However-
Sorry when that happens…
But…
Your boy has an inside secret for you of how to “get what you want”!!!
If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want an autograph… There is only one way to just about guarantee it.
You approach me with a CD of “The Block”……
It will get signed!!!!
I WILL NEVER REFUSE TO SIGN A CD OF THE BLOCK…. EVER!!!!!!
So bring those with you if you wanna cop an autograph! ;)
That album is my heart!!!!
Otherwise- hugs and a picture will have to do.
As Always,
Your Man-
Donnie W
PS- this tour is CRAAAAAAAZZZZZZZYYYY!!!
Get your mind right!!!!!

Is it 38 or 37?
I'm not even sure. All I know is I am damn sick.
This cold isn't sure if its coming or going. It sucks big time. Chills fever...and Donnie isn't even responsible for these ones...this time.
I am having net issues and phone issues (damn digital) so I haven't been updating as often as I would like, but *sigh* I know that life will go on *grin*
Feelin tired and hot and cold and headachy so I am going to go drink some juice and ride the couch while watching the E true Hollywood Story of Soleil Moon Frye...did I spell her name right? If not I do apologize.

39 days!!!!
The last time I counted down to something was when I was pregnant and I couldn't wait to have my kid on my stomach instead of in my stomach. I remember how uncomfortable I was...I thought it was butterflies then, but no it was the baby kicking and moving and stretching the way I didnt realize the human body could go. I thought for sure I was going to be delivering the next huge contortionist.
Anyways, back to NKOTB. Rumors. Panic...ABQ show for this coming Tuesday was cancelled. I am sorry to all the fans out there who have to wait for refunds now from ticketmaster and ILAA. Truly I am sorry. This has caused some anxious moments for the rest of us Canadian girls. Apparently ticket sales arent' that great so there is fear we might cancel. I have emailed ticketmaster and am waiting patiently to hear.
Still sick. Glad its almost run its course tho.
Donnie wrote a new blog...that man cracks me up!
It's Friday.
It's payday!
and 39 flipping days left!!! WOOT!

NKOTB Ninjas! Salute
This goes out to my girls. You know who you are...You know why we are called this.
NINJA SALUTE!
Good things
So to start, one of the girls took a letter to Joe last night at the M&G, he listened and cared to learn about Denise! She was an amazing woman. She is coming to many concerts and her memory will be honoured. I can't wait for her son to meet the guys!
Tania's article is going to be posted in the paper soon. I can't wait to read that! She did a wonderful thing for an amazing woman!
NKTV has a new video!!! JON MADE ME LAUGH SO FLIPPING HARD!!!!! Jordan and his cupcake! Danny and his imagination...hmmm wonder what HE thought it looked like...would it involve 2 girls? A cup maybe?
My Ninja sisters are going tonight to the SAC concert. One has 1st row one has 2nd row!!! OMG GIVE DONNIE MY NUMBER GIRLS! *wink*

40 days
40 days to go!! WOW! I want to make a sign, but I don't want to be one of those fans that everyone gets mad at over a sign. But we will see when the time comes.
As the day gets closer I find my hunger for pictures is increasing. I HAVE to see his Donnieness, and of course Jon, Jordan, Danny and Joe as well. I have to hear 2 in the morning. AAAAAHHHHHH!
I am definitely hanging out at the stadium. I am definitely trying to meet the guys. I am definitely trying to get my facetime.
Did you hear me guys? The time is almost here.

41 days
I am thankful that the concert is still 41 days away as I have come down with some sort of cold. UGH. Sore throat, headache, sinus pain...there is NO WAY I could scream with all of this going on. MUST GET WELL..LOTS OF TEA.
I've been playing with CSS (very much a newbie at it) and I think I have figured it out mostly. I've played with my page on nkotb.com and it just needs a little tinkering. I will beat CSS and have a kick ass page...oh yes....I will.
41 days OH MY BLOG!!!!
WOW...what am I going to wear LOL

Sad News
We just learned that Denise (Lumbeegrl) has lost her battle with cancer. She passed this morning. Her son, Chris, posted the news for us on NKF.
Denise was supposed to go to her first NKOTB concert on Nov 7, and meet them for the very first time with a 5* ticket (courtesy of another fan whom I have blogged about before) on the 8th. This will not happen now.
We who knew Denise, loved her. We may have only known her a short time, but she was a great friend and a MAJOR NKOTB fan.
Denise. You are now without pain. You are now without Cancer. You will watch over your family from above. We love you. We miss you.

I must say
This tour is great! I am meeting so many people from all over the world and all over my city that I have things in common with.
I have chatted on the phone with one woman in particular and it feels like we have known each other forever. We know that on the day of the concert, when we meet at the statue of "The Great One" (in this case its Gretzky not Donnie), we are going to grab and hug each other like we are being reunited after a looooong separation. She is awesome and thanks to NKOTB we have found a new friend.
I can't believe how quickly this is coming. Just over a month left. I remember buying our first set of tickets in May and thinking OMG 6 months is far too long, but now its almost here. YAY.
It's almost D Day....Donnie Day LOL.

Well Blast...
For some reason the contest did not happen today. I have emailed the DJ to find out why. The closest thing was when they announced the contest...and it was just an announcement...hmmm. Instead they gave away Halloween Party tickets....hmmmm
Waiting to hear what the DJ has to say.
I have also asked for info on after parties or other autograph possibilities. We shall see...
I'll update later if I hear from the DJ

The waiting continues
Every day, between noon and 1, I sit here, by my computer, listening to the radio, trying to win tickets to the concert. Ya I have tickets already, but who wouldn't want better seats? There are like 48 days left until the concert! OMG already 48 days! I am so stinkin excited!
I've been meeting wonderful women on line (at nkotb.com and nkf) who are so generous, kind, caring and have the same love as I do! And some of them like Donnie as well LOL! There are a few who are more generous than words. One such fan, bought a 5* ticket for another fan, whose dieing wish is to meet NKOTB. She bought a complete stranger a ticket to see them! I couldn't believe this when I learned about it. What an awesome person. Her story is going to be published. I can't wait to read it! LOVE HER! Her name is JRKGIRLNLA (well that's her screen name) she is an amazing woman! I can't say enough about her.
So this goes to prove that NKOTB fans are the best! Kind, caring, loving. We are members of a unique club! We have the guys to thank for bringing us all together.
Thank you NKOTB! You rock! Thank you for coming back into our lives. For letting us find each other.
Now...I just have to be caller 9 when a NKOTB song starts...which one will it be today? Hangin Tough? Step by Step? The Right Stuff? I think its funny how they are running this contest during old school lunch.

Addressing some things I hear everywhere.
I have found that I am discussing the reunion tour with anyone and everyone. Whether they are fans or not. LOL. I get alot of eye rolls and alot of comments.
Alot of the comments I get from people are regarding things written on the daily gossip blogs, or about things that have been mentioned in the past on TV programs about the guys personal lives.
I want to address that.
Personal lives are just that...PERSONAL. Just because WE "know" the guys, does not mean that they "know" us. We are not PERSONAL friends. We are not related. We are fans. When they speak of anything in their lives they are offering a piece of them to all of us, they are not welcoming us into their circle of friends.
We, as fans, do not have the RIGHT to know. We have the RIGHT to accept them for what we know about them. We have the RIGHT to buy their music, movies, merchandise. We have the RIGHT to defend them to haters.
People have to realize, they are performing for their love of doing it, for us, for them. They have a right to date whomever they want, eat whatever they want, name their children whatever they want, and share with us whatever they CHOOSE. How would you like to live in the public life (this goes for all celebs not just NKOTB) and have EVERYTHING you do either criticized or taken for gospel? They are human like us. They like alone time, like us. They keep secrets, like us.
Lets take a second and drop all the rumors and be for them what we are. Fans, Supporters. Lets soak this in and have fun :)

I think my counter is broken
There are actually 55 days until I go see NKOTB not 57 or 56 whatever. 55 flipping agonizing days left!
Today a good friend of mine, whom I met on the first nkotb forum in April, now we are on another forum together, Gets her facetime with Donnie. First of 3 times THIS WEEK (i think). She is SO STOKED! I can't say I blame her...that's going to be me in November. I CAN'T WAIT. RG, girl. Enjoy your time. 20+ years in the making. Show Donnie the love! And take lots of pictures at the M&G cuz I gotsta see them!
Still trying to figure out how to get backstage. I can't afford the 5* tickets. I WOULD LOVE them but alas, I may just have to hang out after the show. We will see.
I'm getting more and more excited about this. My first real musical obsession is back. I can't believe its real. Not one bit. Will I cry...maybe, will I scream...most definitely.
*sigh*

My panties are in a twist!!!!
BAD FANATIC! BAD FANATIC!
I just could not wait for the show. I mean, its 18 years since I almost gave Donnie a concussion with my peace symbol belt. I like many other fans, could not wait to see the play list, see what they were wearing...AAAAAAAHHHH. I did it. WHY DID I DO IT? I went to a video hosting site, you all know the one I mean, and I looked up NKOTB TORONTO...
My panties are officially in a twist. I mean. OMG! I spoiled it for myself. I was so naughty. I'm like a kid who sneaks into the family room on Christmas morning, and carefully opens their presents, re-wraps them and goes back to bed until breakfast.
I don't regret it, but I am not proud. They worked SO HARD to give us the best time of our adult lives, bring us back the boys we love, and I went and ruined my surprise *pout*
I NKFANATIC (pizzle on nkotb.com/nkf), Do solemnly swear, not to tempt myself with any more concert teasers, no matter how tempting. I want the November 18 show to be a meaningful, memorable one. I want to walk away and say "I WAS NOT expecting that"
To NKOTB I promise I will not go digging for footage, or begging for pictures (although it is EXTREMELY hard). I will wait(im)patiently here during the next 2 months. Drooling over vblogs, and NKTV.
I stand behind my word! I was a girl guide, so I kinda have to *wink*. I do have some other promises for the guys as well:
I promise to get my facetime...dammit I deserve it (lol)
I promise to apologize to Donnie for the near miss 18 years ago
I promise to smell Danny (it has been written that he smells like a greek god)
I promise to not ask Jordan about his rat tail
I promise to tell Jon how much he is admired
I promise to tell the guys how thankful I am for reminding me about being young
I promise to tell my husband that on that night in November I'm single (lol)
I promise to be a proud blockhead
NO MORE GAMES
On that note, I want to give you proof of the Aquanet hairspray I blogged about a while ago, and the WiKKED cool clothing and hairstyles of the past. The guys and their fans.

IT'S HERE....TORONTO ARE YOU READY?!!
Tonight NKOTB takes the stage. Their FIRST concert date in years, or for us Blockheads, what seems a lifetime.
There will be screaming, crying, yelling, and with Donnie's vblog promises...FACETIME! Oh yes, there will be facetime...and apparently nudity, fluidity and the Dman sleeping in the hotel Lobby. LOL GETCHA MIND RIGHT!
Keep your eyes peeled to NKTV and the NKOTB Blog (scroll down my blog to see the feeds)because I am purty darned sure there will be more teasers today.
But my question is this...How do you plan on getting your facetime? Are you going to hunt down Zach? Will you scale fences? Will you flash the guys? How will you make the time YOURS? Comments are welcome :)

I don't care what you say
I still love NKOTB. They will always be NKOTB. There will always be haters, lurking in the shadows waiting to egg us. But we are still their fans.
Like it or not.
WE DO! We like all of that and more.
We are BLOCKHEADS!
Like it or not.
- You may not like their style of music.
- You may not like the fact that your girlfriend is once again having impure thoughts about them.
- You may not like the fact that they are once again on top.
- You may not like the fact that they are back.
WE DO! We like all of that and more.
We are BLOCKHEADS!

MTV.uk article
from the website mtv.uk
We spoke to Danny about the boys’ unlikely comeback, their new single and British women…
New Kids On The Block were the original boyband from 1986 till their split in 1994 way before Take That, N Sync or Backstreet Boys were on the music scene.
Members Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey Macintrye and Danny Wood have since had separate careers. Jordan had a successful solo career, Donnie went off to Hollywood and Danny starred in our show Totally Boyband.
Now the five-some have unexpectedly reformed and recorded an entire new album- which features collaborations with some of the hottest artists around. We spoke to Danny to get all the gossip…
MTV: Hi Danny, how did the reunion come about?
It started when Tony gave me a call because he had written (song) Click Click Click and I loved the song and we started from there. We recorded six or seven songs before anyone knew
There was no plan we just thought we would see what happens. Things started happening naturally so we knew it was real- It’s all about the music!
What would you say to detractors who say you’re doing it for the money?
People are gonna say what ever they want. My bank account looked very nice before all of this so I didn’t have anything to worry about. We all have lives and I have a jet company so I don’t need the money.
Is this the first time you’ve talked about reforming since you split in 1994?
There was talk from other people- TV shows or producers- but not us. This was the first time we had got together and discussed doing anything.
What has changed?
The over all maturity level has changed and we are all better business men. Four of us have got kids, It’s different but when we get in the room and it’s just the 5 of us we are the same as always. When we perform together not much has changed.
What’s it like hanging out? Do you have laddish banter?
It’s very funny because people from Boston are like the British. They love to mess with each other and with us it’s all day long! If it wasn’t like that we wouldn’t be doing it.
What do you remember most about being in the UK for the MTV show Totally Boyband?
The partying. You guys can drink! I probably put on 10 pounds- I got home (to America) and didn’t drink. Making the show was so much fun and non-stop laughs. I feel very lucky that I got the chance to do it.
There were lots of beautiful women around when I was over there too. They are pretty incredible. I can’t wait to come back.
Do you keep in touch will anyone from Totally Boyband?
I talk to Jimmy still because he’s the most responsible and I’m gonna see him when I come over. I can’t find Brad and Dane has changed his number like 6 or 7 times. Put the word out for them to get in touch!
Who has worked on the new album?
We did a lot with Red One and we worked with Teddy Riley, Pollow Da Don, Akon, New Edition and Lady Gaga as well.
It’s a contemporary sound. We just set out to make a good record and see what happens.
What are your favourite tracks?
The next single is a duet with Ne-Yo. I like Click Click Click because it was the first song we recorded when we got back together.
Tell us about the single Summertime?
At the time we first released it we were still finding more songs for the record. Donnie wrote it with this young kid Nas’ree. It’s a tribute to our fans inviting them back to the party. The second single (after Summertime) is gonna kick off the party!
NKOTB’s comeback album The Block is out this week. The band tour the UK in January 2009.

70 days... Getting creative
When you are married and have two small children, you have to figure out creative ways to go feed your hunger for FACETIME. I mean, it HAS been 20 years since I first saw there faces. Been a fan for as long, almost took Donnie's head off with my peace symbol belt. I figure the least I can do is go and apologize for the tragic event that COULD have taken place and get my much deserved Face time all at the same time right?
So, hubby may take the afternoon off work so I can go hang out like when I was 16. He owes me ;) If not...I will have to get even more creative than I already have. I think I will need suggestions.

Hangin Tough
I just took a trip down memory lane and watched the Hangin Tough Video (as posted in my videos). WOW! I must say the guys had the rat tails that changed the world. I SWEAR! The hats, the peace symbols, the teased bangs, the ripped jeans and leather jackets...but I have just one question about this historical fashion...
WHAT WAS UP WITH THE HOLE IN JOE'S HAT?
I have never understood that. He still had hat head. He just had a big ol hole in the top of his hat. Can anyone fill me in because, maybe I just was not cool enough but I DON'T GET IT *shrugs*. Anyone...Bueller Bueller
The guys sure used to play with the hormone driven teenage girls didn't they? Especially Donnie. Mr. Pelvic thrust. Mr. Eye F***. The way the girls used to just squeal and blush and well try to sneak into his hotel room because of it.....
I don't think he's changed. He's still a flirt. He does however wear shades all the time, but I think that's because he realized his power to control his fans and make them jump fences and act all crazy like. It's almost like his eyes are a super power. Showing them only when he wants to see real crazy. He finds the girl that seems least likely to do anything nuts and unleashes his eyes. He doesn't even need to tell her to look into his eyes, like any curious fan she just looks. She is drawn to his eyes...then...BAM! Out comes the fanatic. Scaling walls, fainting, crying, traveling back in time....
But that was purely speculation...I do think its possible tho.
Danny...What can I say about Danny....Nothing but good of course. He used to be the one "pumping iron" His biceps and shoulders were so nice....Still are, especially with all those TATS! WOOT! LOVE THEM! I thought Danny was a cutie back in the day, but man he looks so hardcore now!!!! *wipes brow* And hearing that he smells good, makes me want to smell him. lmao. His scent has been compared to what you would expect a greek god to smell like... I kid you not.

So lets start at the beginning shall we?
Back in 1988, I went to a sleepover at my best friend's house.
She had these posters up on her wall of these cute guys. I mean CUTE! She told me to pick one but I couldn't choose Jon, because he was her favorite, and Jordan was her other friend's favorite. Well, she didn't have many other pictures up, but one caught my eye. Yes...it was Donnie. Instantly I proclaimed that the guy in the ripped jeans and the peace symbol shirt was my favorite. Little did I know, that fateful summer day in 1988 would change my life...FOREVER!
Lets fast forward to 1989. I was the typical fan. Floor to ceiling posters, even inside my closet. I made curtains out of the posters too. I had my doorframe and doorknob plastered in their faces. I snatched up every copy of TeenBeat, Bop, Big Bopper, and Tiger Beat that I could. MAN, was I OBSESSED! Every penny I earned babysitting went to these magazines. I couldn't only have one copy, no...there is a poster of Jon on the backside of Joey. I HAVE TO HAVE 2 COPIES. ( I swear us NKOTB fans kept those mags going for a looooong time)I asked for every book authorized or not for my birthday and Christmas. I even organized a NKOTB bday party for my kid sister. The invitations were home made concert tickets, they had to be dressed as their favorite kid and the cake had NKOTB cartoon images on it. OH MY BLOG!
In the summer of 1990. It was announced. I SHRIEKED like a schoolgirl. Ok I was a schoolgirl. But I was 16 now, and NOT a kid anymore. THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK WERE COMING!!!! OH MY BLOG! It was a dream come true. Surely I would snag amazing tickets by being the only one to camp out overnight for tickets! I was smart like that! Little did I know, parents and teens alike all thought the same as I did. We camped out. We got egged, mooned, sworn at. But forget them, we were all camping out for The New Kids! Who were THEY to say WE sucked. That NKOTB sucked? HOW DARE THEY! We swore back and shook our fists, all while the splatter of eggwhites dried on our jackets and NKOTB blankets.
November 1. OH GOD! ITS THE DAY OF THE CONCERT! HOLY CRAP! I decided (with my mum's permission of course) to skip school that day and go meet them! I waited along with about 500 other teens, to catch a glimpse. I arrived at the arena at 10 am...The first tourbus pulled in at about 3ish. It was chilly. My fingers were COLD. But thinking that any moment now I would meet them made me giddy.
Then we saw them. TOURBUSSES! Shrieking, crying, grabbing eachother screaming, fence climbing, fainting. One last spray of Auqua net on my TEASED bangs. Jon got off the bus. He came right to ME! OMG he was so kind. Touching fingers through the chain link fence that separated us. I snapped a couple of photos, but alas, they did not turn out. Jordan came next. Did the same as Jon. Danny and Jo went right in to the arena...So in order to get a good look and some attention of his Donnieness I went up top, on the walkway right above the bus parking. Merely feet above all that was Donnie. When he submerged from the bus.
He was wearing his black ball cap. Green and white Celtics leather jacket and I started screaming. Within seconds, I ripped off my peace symbol belt and yelled his name to get his attention. When he looked up and smiled (oh what a smile it was), without thinking or planning, I heaved my peace symbol belt over the rail and missed his head by mere inches. OH THE HUMILIATION! He bent over and picked it up. Looked up and asked "WHO THREW THIS?" OH GAWD. He's mad...I slowly put my hand up and replied "I DID, SORRY DONNIE" He thanked me and as he was entering the building he was fixing it to his waist! DONNIE WAS WEARING MY BELT!!!!!!!! That made it so worthwhile!
Shortly after that NK mania started to die down. It was getting harder to follow them as I was reaching my partying prime. At 18, I became legal and simply forgot how much I worshipped the guys just a year and a half before. I still watched them on Arsenio Hall. But by that point, Jon was no longer with them, and it was different. Then *poof* NKOTB was no more.
I've always looked them up to see what they are up to. THANK YOU INTERNET. Watched Jordan on Surreal Life, Watched Joe on Dances with the Stars, watched Oprah with Jon and Jordan, watched Ransom, Band of Brothers (and only while watching did I learn Donnie was in it...BONUS). Then came 2008. Perez Hilton mentioned they were reuniting. NO WAY! Then it was in People SO ITS TRUE!
I found NKOTB.COM and began watching the videos, awaiting a concert date (Nov. 18 btw...almost exactly 18 years since I last saw them here), awaiting album releases and my Donnie Worshipping is Back!
Cant wait to see you guys on tour! I am so excited. And I did stop using Aqua net, I no longer wear ripped jeans, but I will probably still hyperventalate when I see you all :)

Are you ready?
SEPTEMBER
Two weeks until the tour! WOW! I still have to wait 2 months, but its worth it.
This summer was filled with anticipation, excitement, updates, singles (SINGLE....OMYBLOG), and teasing from DW.
All this talk about FACETIME and HUGS and how he will be sleeping in the lobby of all the hotels in a sleeping bag cuz he ain't hiding this tour. And FACETIME. And then he shows his butt, and causes mass hysteria among all Donnie fans (and converts).
That's right I said MASS HYSTERIA! There will be tears, screams, possibly fainting, maybe fence climbing. Yes that's right. I said fence climbing! Now pass me my ripped jeans, my hypercolour T shirt and my Aqua Net! I can't wait for this trip back in time. It will be chaos! Does he realize what he has done? How is Donnie going to cope? A MILLION HUGS?!!!
So, as I said...Single! It's a fabulous song! The voices are FAN-TAB-U-LOUS! NeYo is great! They all look DAM* FINE! *fans self* They are no longer the Boys from Boston! Nay Nay....they are GROWN MEN!
I'm Ready!
