gooangela I know exactly how you feel, I'll never froget my first real Goo experience, their music is a tool for healing, back then I was in that bad place too and the music helped me so much. And it's funny how John says music is the soundtrack to our live, he's so right, like I'll never forget the day I bought a Boy Named Goo and "dancing" (I don't dance very well) in the kitchen when I was home alone, or driving back on those car rides from my dad's to my mom's with the GGDs pumpin through the headphones as we drove past the windmills, just random stuff, but most of all I'll never forget my concert. I was so happy I was beyond tears, it was the happiest day of my life, I won the M&G, I was screaming at the top of my lungs to every song, I was 3 feet from Johnny and I was up there by myself, it will always be the best concert have ever been to. I mean I've seen U2, the Stones, Bon Jovi, Sting Queen, Santanna, some of the greatest bands in the world, but somehow none of those concerts could compare... wow I'm rambling. I should stop now. (: SO you like the Chili Peppers too? They are so completley awesome and just kinda random. Well I haven't gotten to my packing yet, and good job on converting Twilight, we're going to need everyone to get this pic to 200. (: Have a great night ladies!

Oh BTW hi jmt928! Welcome to the IM!

Yes Missy, we are going to need everybody to get to 200! I know, I've seen some of the best bands out there, but I can't fight the feeling of being the most excited and overwhelmed to see the GGD in December. Oh by the way, Twilight is the friend that's going to the Anaheim show with my brother and I. I'm sure you figured that, but yeah, just felt like makin' sure you know cuz I'm weird like that! Anyway, I'm glad that you can relate with me on my GGD experiences!
So.. yeah I like the Chili Peppers somewhat. I don't listen to their music regularly or anything. They're one of those bands where if one of their songs comes on the radio, then you'll crank the radio, but that's that. How much do you like them? (If you don't read this until after the Elton John concert, HAVE FUN!!!!!!)

Oh wow. I'm just now realizing how much I take these posts for granted. I think I've grown a beard while reading, it's taken that long. :P Missy, I forgot to anwser your question. I'm pretty sure it's on the Pink Pez pic, but I'm anwsering here. I loved Live In Buffalo. I liked the GGD music and what Angela had told me about them, but what really got me hooked is during "What a Scene" when John's singing the 'nah nah nahs' at the end. He looks so compltely content in that moment. 'What A Scene' is my favorite song, closely followed by 'It's Over' 'Better Days' and 'Here Is Gone' I'm not as die-hard as Angela or probally you are, but I enjoy their music and seeing the happiness it brings people (cough, cough, Angela).

WOW.....after reading all that my eyes are now crossed....and they are stuck!!!! 200 posts huh gooangela...ok lets get to it!!! Love ya all!!!

Hey gooangela, I only have 1 Chili Peppers cd, they're just one of my fun bands I listen to before a game or I'm home alone for hours and feel like running around the house just because I can. Twilight I love watching "What a Scene" too, John does look really content, my favorite is "Here Is Gone" on LIB, it just fits for it to be played in the rain. But I do like "Broadway" a lot when Mike shows up outta nowhere and it just makes the energy on stage shoot up. Hey we only have 74 more comments to go til we get to 200! I'm going to sleep, I gotta get better for tomorrow. Thanks gooangela, I know I'll have fun tomorrow night, I hope he'll play "You're Song" though, it's my fav Elton John song! Good night to all!

Yeah Missy, I forgot to tell you that I hope you get better. I'm sorry that I gave you my cold.......... "You're Song" is a really great song, but I really like "Candle in the Wind" and "Rocket Man". I mean all of Elton John's songs are fantastic, but those are my favorite. Have tons of fun! Be sure to let us know how it went AND you must let me know if you see his tour bus!!!!!!!
C'mon ladies! 200 posts isn't the easiest thing to reach and I can't do it all on my own! LET'S GO!
Oh and, just to fit in with Missy and Twilight's stuff....... my favorite song on Live In Buffalo before the rain is "Black Balloon" and after the rain it's "Here Is Gone". I love it! I should watch Live In Buffalo today........ hey so what do you all think about the Let Love In DVD?!?!?!?!?! I can't wait until it's released in the US! Oh and I'm so excited for the "Let Love In" music video! Robby said it's going to be released in October!
Anyway, have a great day everybody!

72 to 200...Here's an addendum to my earlier story. I took my sister-in-law to the GGd's concert on Aug 18th. (she likes the counting crows)BUT after the GGD's performed she told me to always count her in for ANY of their (GGD's) future concerts. They are contagious! (In a good way) My sister-in-law then won two tickets to see Sheryl Crow and John Mayer for last week, with an opportunity to meet and take a picture with John Mayer. We got to stand on either side of him for the picture and he was genuinely NICE. Also a lot taller than I thought. But all I kept thinking about was "darn, wrong John!" Concert was great. Enjoyed all the music, but I kept looking at my watch and saying right now the GGD's are playing in Dallas!! Wish I were there. My sister-in-law just thought I was plain gone. My "Here is Gone" reply was lost to her...She'll learn;)

Hello everyone.....post # 129...I think, on our way to 200!!!

Yes girlintx!!!! I'm #130 so we've only got 70 to go! I know we can do it as long as everyone pitches in and tries to help! I think we should still try to get to 200 no matter how many new pictures they post because then we'll all be able to say that we finally reached 200! Everyone agree?

Typo..AGAIN... What's the record at? (At least I'm adding counts, even with those typos)

jmt928...you make me laugh. welcome aboard the crazy train (I know that was bad) my friend!!!

Haha jmt928 and girlintx, I love you guys! Um.... I think the record is at 130 which was made by us as well....... if that is the record, which I think it is, then we've already beat it, but I really want to get to 200!

Ok my bad, the record was 131, so I was one off. Still, we've already beat that because this is 135. OH GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I heard "Better Days" on the radio tonight! I was soooooooooooo happy! I basically shouted to the entire store what song it was and they all gave me funny looks because sadly, none of the people that were watching me had ever heard of the GGD........... *tear* Anyway, I was really excited so that's all that counts!

Heh All,
I am new to this, but just trying to help out. Hope you get to 100!!!!

Darn, make that 200!

gooangela I have a funny story to tell you... Okay, here goes...I was driving to work...The signal light turned red, so of course I stopped.... I turned on the radio and "Stay with you" was playing Who Hooo..Hehehe!! I started to dance in my seat while waiting for the light to turn green..I galanced to my left and there was a patrol car besides me..Both the driver and the passenger were looking at me...They were laughing their heads off...I rolled down my window and said I love the Goo Goo Dolls... They just smiled...I was so embarrassed I put the visor to the side so they could see me, well it really didn't sheild me too much...I could still see the chuckling... the light turned green and I continued my drive to work..Anyway have a great night...BlueDust

Hey shottzie welcome...Where are you from? Blog with us girls anytime...Girls shouts out to shottzie

Jmt928, that's okay I have alot of brain farts here to so don't worry...I get ahead with my thoughts and that's where my mistakes come in...Anyway welcome to our blog family...Shouts out to jmt928!!!!!! BlueDust

Well lady's and gentlemen(if there's any) Have a good night or a good morning..Which ever it is in your timezone... Have a good one...Lov ya all BlueDust

Hahahahaha BlueDust, I LOVE YOUR STORY!!!!!!!!! I would do the EXACT SAME THING if I were in that situation. There have been MANY occasions where, if I have the chance, I tell anybody and everybody that I absolutely love the Goo Goo Dolls! They don't really care because most of them have never heard of them and they just say, "What kind of name is "Goo Goo Dolls"?". It's sad, but I don't care. Half the time I just want to look at them and say, "Have you ever heard of a song called "Iris"?".......they'd probably be like, "What?" and then I'd start singing it and be like, "And I'd give up forever to touch you, cuz I know that you feel me somehow" and they'd probably still be clueless so then I'd be like, "And I don't want the world to see me cuz I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am." Then the person would be like, "Oh yeah, I know that song!" And I'd be all sarcastic and be like, "Ya think? Duh you weirdo, the Goo Goo Dolls sing that song!!!!"
Oh man, I think I've actually done something similar to that in the past. I can't help it! If I come across somebody who doesn't know who the guys are then I let them know who they are, damnit!
Anyway, sorry if this entire post is really hard to follow, but it's 2:08 AM right now and I should be in bed, but obviously I'm not.
Hey shottzie, mad, mad, mad shout outs to you!!!!! I hope you'll have some fun with the ladies and I in here. I'm sure that you can tell that we're all pretty close in here and we say what we want! Please feel free to talk with us, you're definitely welcome.
Ok well I think I shall venture downstairs to try and get some sleep. I'm going to try and sleep on the couch tonight because my room smells. My rat (Iris..... yes I named my rat Iris and we all know why!) is starting to smell up my room. Goodnight ladies, or rather good morning/afternoon! Love you all!

hey guys! sorry i havn't blogged for a while jeeze you miss alot when your gone for the weekend god im so hung over!!!! i had the maddest weekend word of advice to EVERYBODY OUT THERE never i repeat..

Heh Bluedust and gooangela, to answer the ? I live in the Seattle area, but this morning it feels like the North Pole. I don't like the Fall.

Thanks to all for my warm and GOOey welcome! I finally have people to talk to about the GGD's without having people go "oh, geez, there she goes again..." While at work it's really weird how psychic I've become about when a Goo Goo Doll song is about to come on. I start to feel a little down and I usually announce to everyone in the lab "I fell a Goo Goo Doll song coming up on the radio cuz I can really use it." And to my amazement I'm right on! I turn up the radio and start singing and my mood just perks up! I'm lucky I only work with 2 other people who can put up with my bad vocals!
Hey, Shottzie, are ya going to the concert that's coming up in Seattle?

Heh jmt298, I am definitely going to the Seattle concert. Just happened to mention to one of my co-workers that I had to tickets to the show in June (I always bought two tickets and would drag some random friend to go see the GGD's with me) needless to say she starting screaming that it was her favorite band. So this will be our second GGD’s concert together.

Shottzie, I'm sooooo jealous! I'm came real close to getting tickets to Seattle and goin' to that concert. I have two rountrip tickets on southwest I hafta use before the end of the year. I've checked out the seattle concert, which doesn't have any decent seats left, so that was out. New York is too expensive to stay, looked into New Orleans for their free pre-game show, but that's in a week. Need notice to take time off work. I can't make up my mind where to go.

Hey Jmt928 How's your morning going...It's great you can sense when the GGD song will be coming on the radio. I totally flipped out when I heard "Stay with you" on the radio..The GGD work so hard to promote their album, I truly admire them.....Anyway, are we getting close to 200 yet...Let me see

Hey BlueDust, I am good. It is finally nice here, pretty warm today and no rain. It has been raining and dark and cloudy for days. I do not like that kind of weather, it is depressing. It is almost Fall here and the trees are starting to change a little bit. I hope we get to 200 on this ugly picture!!

BlueDust we were blogging at the same time! Pretty cool!

  • Whoops, sorry BlueDust.... brainfart! I meant to say "....and the** little "fender bender". I don't know why I put "your" in there.....

  • Hey BlueDust! I'm sorry to hear about your car and your the little "fender bender". I hate it when stuff like that happens. I'm glad you and the other person(s) are alright.
    Hey Missy!!! Well I'm glad that I make your day! ;) My Saturday has been pretty good. I didn't get up until 1:00 because of that whole thing last night... it kept me awake for a few hours. Anyway, after I woke up I went shopping with my mom and when I got home I mowed the lawn. Now I have to go clean my room and finish up some History homework........ YUCK!!! How has your weekend been?
    Everybody else....... HI!!!! How has everybody's weekend been so far? I love you all!

  • BlueDust I didn't know you liked U2! I saw them twice on the Vertigo tour, they were awesome! Actually I think that they are back in the studio, so maybe we'll get another album from them in the middle of next year and a tour next Christmas or Jan of 2008. Wow I'll be a senior ny then. jmt928 I know that wet dog smell very well, our dog loves to swim in the pool so he's always wet smelly. 2394 you are so lucky it's raining, it's not bad here but I love the rain. When it rains I call my best friend and we both go outside and spin around in circles in the back yard while on the phone with each other. Yeah she loves the rain too, cept she's the one who jumps in ALL the puddles. (: Well I'm just being lazy and useless right now, mucho amor ladies!

  • 2394- No, I don't think it will cost to to much...I don't think it should exceed $500.00 dollars...The lady's insurance will take care of it... Thank you for caring...That's strange how the times were switched...I think the IM computer is getting confused...Have a great night...Blog you later

  • Hey JMT928 how are you doing? Thank you for your concern..I was really frightened, thank god my mom was with me... I freaked out a little..I went for a little walk while my mom collected their information...The noise the other car bumping my bumper made me have a flash back of my accident four years ago, and my emtions came out... I pulled myself together and by the time I came backfrom my little walk a cop car pulled up...He asked us if we were okay... We told him we were fine and that our insurance was going to handle the matter...The cop was very good looking...Oh, boy was he good looking...Anyway all is fine now...Thanks once again for asking Hugs BlueDust

  • BlueDust, your post went to my time zone and mine went to yours!

  • BlueDust I am okay. I didn't know that green tea was an appetite suppressant. I hope your car won't cost too much. It is raining here again, oh man I hate it. I need to move to sunny California with you. I am glad to hear your date went well and he can dance, nice! Have a good night!

  • Sorry you messed up your finger...Hope it feels better soon...I wish I had money to travel...I'll just bop around town in my bruised car (my poor scion) snifle, snifle...Wow, you like U2 too..MEEEE tooooo!!!! Well get back to your homework...Take a break in an hour and we'll blog some more...Hus BlueDust

  • oh, geez, my dog just got drenched. Apparently it started to pour when I let him out for a stretch. Gotta go dry him up. He stinks like wet dog... P.U.!!!

  • Hey 2394- I'm glad to hear your sleeping well...Yeah drinking late at night would keep your peepers open...I love drinking green tea..I drink a total of six 16oz. bottles of green tea daily...I wish I could drink the tea straight, but it's tooo bitter tasting, so I add sugar-free drink mix to the tea to hide it bitter taste... Another way I have my daily dose of green tea is I cook with it...Any of my cooking that requires water I add green tea instead... When I frist started to cook with tea I told myself "man this is going to be gross..." Turns out that I can not detect the taste of the tea in the food... The reason why I started cooking with tea is that it has a good source of antioxidants and it a good appetite suppressant....Oh, I'm sorry Boy am I rude ....What's up or new with you???? Hugs BlueDust

  • Bluedust, sounded like a great date!! And sorry to hear about your fender bender, but your right thankfully no one was hurt!

  • BlueDust that is so funny! So he can dance then? Well that sounded like fun, 1:15 that's a little late. (: Talk to you later.

  • Hey BlueDust, so you're starting vacation? Got anything planned? Or are you going to pull off a Melissa and sleep through most of it? (: I'm glad everything was alright and there was no damage to you or the other person. I'm angry! I was making a tortilla to take to my friend's bday party and when I went to flip it it all fell out onto the stove. I screwed up my finger yesterday so the pan slipped and now I've got a luch of potatoes and eggs. But other than that I'm watching U2 Live at Slane Castle right now, I swear I've watched over 50 times and I still love it. I'll probably end up watching LIB after it ends. God I love being home alone! Have a great day ladies! Gotta eat and do some pre-calc, love to you all!

  • That's funny googirl1- Did I shave my legs? ummmmmm, let me check...Nope, they are stubby...Hahaha...The date went great...You know I should tell you his name now... His name is Josh Butler..Isn't that a great name(sigh)...I took Josh to a party my friend was hosting...We ate drank and and lisened to some music...Hehehe, as I was dancing with my friends Josh come up from behind me grabs my waist and started dancing behind me, talk about dirty dancing...Whoooooo, boy did the temprture go up a few degrees in that room last night.... I didn't get home until 1:15 in the morning...The party was so fun...I had a great time... Anyway thank you for asking...Have a great day and I will blog you later..Hugs BlueDust

  • Hello, girlintx how are things going with you????

  • How in the heck did I submit that twice...Wow, BRAIN FART...

  • Gooangela I'm glad your back...Sorry you were frighten...Noises like that freaks me out too....
    I had a little scare myself about a half an hour ago...I was driving home from the store, the light turned red, so naturally I stopped... I was in the lane to make a right hand turn when the car behind me bumpped into my car...To make a long story short...The brackets that hold the bumper to the frame needs to be replaced, and no serious damage was done to both cars...Thank GOD no one was injured...I don't think I can stand another injury like the on I suffered four years ago...Monday I'm going to take it into the shop and have them fix the brackets...Not a good way to start my vaction...

  • Glad to hear everything is all right with ya gooangela!!! I wanna say HI to....gooangela, BlueDust, missy, 2394, annabanana, indymom, wsunicole06, jmt928, googirl1, and anyone else I missed!!! Hope you all have a great day!!! Love to all.

  • YAY!!!! Gooangela you're back! That makes my day. That does sound scary, I'm glad everyone was alright though. How's your Saturday been so far?

  • Welcome back, Gooangela!

  • Hi,everyone!! Happy first day of fall! It's been raining last couple of days, and it only makes me want to sleep! Speaking of sleep, glad your finally getting some, 2394! I see more pictures have been posted, mostly of animals. Quite a change from this monkey picture, huh? And for some reason I still keep coming back here to post comments??!!

  • I AM HERE!!!!!!!! Sorry ladies for worrying you so much...... in a way, that makes me feel special, but I'm sorry for worrying you. I read through all of the comments from the "1000 night" and it sounds like you ladies had some fun. I wish I could have been there, but my mom and I went to the store and didn't get back until 8:30 or so, so I missed it. Anyway, seems like everybody has retired this picture........ oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
    I had a SCARY, SCARY, SCARY night last night! When I got home last night, I fell asleep really fast. I didn't finally wake up until 1:30-ish in the morning and that was just because my mom woke me up. Anyway, so I was just going to sleep on the couch (because that's where I was) and my mom started heading upstairs. Right when she got to the top of the stairs we heard this squealing and skidding outside and then an EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY loud crash. Naturally I was freaking out! So we ran over to the windows and looked outside and saw this abandoned car, lights on, sitting on the sidewalk across the street. My mom and I stared out the window for a while (by the way, she got to the window faster than I did and she saw all the people from the car get out and run) until neighbors went out to the car. My mom was too chicken to go out there, but I did. I got to the car and the windshield was all smashed in and the dashboard was all torn apart, and not to mention the bottom of the car, which was all torn up because of the car hitting the curb. Anyway, so this girl was on the phone with the police while 7 of us neighbors were talking about what happened. So the police showed up and they had one of the people that was in the car, but the others were long gone. Anyway, so we all just went back to our homes and let the police deal with it. It was soooooooo scary though.
    Anyway, I have to go, but I hope I'll talk to you ladies later. Love you!

  • Hi ladies! How are you? 2394 I love fall too, I love winter but it doesn't snow here so maybe I'd think differently. I'm so glad you're able to sleep, I do like tea, I don't drink it very often, but I got sick once and my grandma just kept giving me some tea and I liked it. googirl1 I'll never understand how people would rather be hot! (: At least in the cold you can add layers, but in the heat there's only so much you can take off and still walk around in public. Well, I've got the ENTIRE house to myself today!!! My family's in Bakersfield at my bro's game and my dad let me stay cuz my friends 16th bday party is today. That'll be fun it's just all of our close friends. I'll talk to you ladie later! Much love!

  • 2394, Hello back to you. Yes, today is the first day of fall I love it already. I love when it starts to feel a little chilly. Not too chilly I hate being cold. I would much rather be hot(I know I'm weird!). I am so glad to hear that you are able to sleep at night. Sometimes it takes different experiments until you find the right one. Well I am going to do some fall cleaning. All my goo girls have a wonderful Saturday! many huggs gg1

  • Missy and BlueDust, I forgot to tell you that I have been sleeping finally. I didn't realize that drinking tea at 9:00 p.m. would keep me up, so I started to drink decaf tea only at night. I enjoy a cup a tea at night. Do you girls like tea?

  • Hi to googirl1, BlueDust, Missy, gooangela, girlintx, Maryann7777, Seattlesiren and anyone else I forgot, I hope your Saturday is fabulous! Love you all! Hey today is the first day of Fall. I love the Fall, the trees are so pretty. It is what comes next that is not so fun sometimes! I only want snow at Christmas time.

  • Shottzie how are you bumbed by the weather changing?! I love the cold!! I'm good though cept I fell on the stairs today like the clutz that I am and reinjured my previousl dislocated finger, that wasn't fun, but other than that I'm good. Hi googirl1, I admire your non meat eating abilities, I'm weak I could never do it and I just love meat. (: So how have you been? Well I'll talk to you later. Enjoy your Friday night ladies!

  • Hey Bluedust have fun on your date. Did you shave your legs? Let us know how it went. How's your no meat thing going. Really just don't think about it and you'll be fine. You know I was just telling my husband the other day that it has been 5 years since I have had a burger, chicken, fish etc... I really do not miss it all. Hey Missy congrats on your question that was so cool John answered your question. Lucky girl! Hi 2394, gooangela, and girlntx ,jmt928, wsunicole06. Hope you are all having a fun safe Friday night. Sat morning for 2394. Well blog you girls tommorrow.
    PS. O by the way Gooangela and Bluedust I checked the venues the goos will be playing at in dec and so far there is no band reserved for those nights (yet). So keep your fingers crossed. much love gg1

  • Heh Missy, Been good, thanks for asking. How about you? I get a little bummed this time of year with the weather changing.
