I discovered something new in the world of blogging. Blog series. My blog series is going to be Childhood Reminders, because I love them with all my heart. Anything that can take me out of my complicated world of responsibility and coming-into-adulthood confusion, I say Bring. It. On. And my first Childhood Reminder is New Kids on the Block.
I went to the NKOTB concert back in October and paid $90 for my ticket. Yeah, that's right, $90! I didn't pay $90 because they are amazing musicians or performers. I paid $90 because they remind me of my childhood.
It was still one of the best concerts I've ever been to...EVER. I felt just like a little girl again. I screamed so loud that I lost my voice the next day.
Just like any normal girl who grew up in the late 80s/early 90s, New Kids on the Block was my favorite band. I knew every word to every song. I owned every piece of New Kids paraphernalia that I could get my little hands on. Joey McIntyre was my favorite New Kid. I had a huge poster of him on my bedroom door, because my mom would not let me hang posters on my wall. Every night before, I went to bed, I would kiss him goodnight.
I went to ultimate extremes to see the New Kids. I went to my first New Kids concert in a limo, and me and my friends pretended that we were Donnie Wahlberg's cousins. And there were people who actually believed us!
The ultimate though, was when I wrote a letter to the New Kids and told them that I was dying of cancer, and that my only dying wish was to meet them in person. I don't know how that one didn't work, but I got no response from that.
Now, at 29, I still love them just as much, if not more than I did when I was 12, and I'm not ashamed to say it. They're on tour, and you know you want to go.

You are hilarious and have no limits to your humor - i cant believe you told them you had cancer. Maybe they did a background check on you to see if it was true. Anyway, I just want to say You got the Right Stuff, Baybay!
