Curiosity Got the Best of Me

I was bored the other day, hangin' out at my friend's house. I was surfing the internet and decided to try something new. Now that I don't have any tour dates to look forward to, I'm having a little trouble adjusting to life as it was. I tell ya, when Thanksgiving was coming up, I remembered like it was yesterday the desserts I made for Thanksgiving last year. I thought, "It's been a YEAR??!" I never noticed how fast time was whizzing by with the buzz created by the NKOTB Reunion.

Back to the other day, I decided to try something new so I created a profile on an internet dating site! Haha! I've never answered so many questions about myself before and it was fun writing about myself. I learned that my interests span far & wide and I actually am quite interested in the underground music scene.

Have you seen Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist? I saw that in the movie theatre, twice. The "Where's Fuffy?" element of the film was brilliant. I wonder if that was based on something real. Actually, if that were New Kids on the Block, I would definitely play that Hide N Seek Game. It would be so cool if they played a gig under an alias and there were only about 30 - 50 people at the show in a cozy intimate nightclub like The Rockit Room or the Beale Street Bar. To find clues, maybe there would be Smiley Faces with sequins in the eyes to signal us where to go, or maybe there would be flyers in places like Amoeba Records with fake band names and strategically placed "misspellings" of some sort. Then, if the gig had some sort of connection to a true fan, like a nostalgia factor or something, then we would check out the show just for kicks. And when we arrive, what a nice surprise it would be if it wasn't a misspelling and the alias was a little secret between the New Kids and their old skool fans. Ahh, what a great nite that would make. :D

Anyway, so yah, we'll see how this internet dating thing goes. I don't expect anything from it, just curious. It's so hard to make yourself sound interesting when you're not. What's the best way to break it to strangers that you're a hardcore New Kids fan and that they may never top that? Haha!!
