LOVE YOU TOO GG1!

hi to you all very cheesy pic of this monkey ,do u think we will get any more pics soon or will we av 2 wait til sept29 not tht i'm complaining.#annaban' i have huge probs gettin thr first release neve was released over here in th uk so i have friends on th look out 4 it when thy go to th states.thts next week so i hope to be lucky ths time.oh an some of us on here also are not sure on how to use the forum so yr not on yr own....

these time zones do my head in it's 16.26 here in the uk on thurs' 14 sept. i never seem to be bloggin when anyone else is on?

Sorry Juan different time zone..Don't you hate that??? How are you doing by the way? As for me everything would be fine if the people at my work would stop playing bloody politics towards me. I guess they are trying to get me to quit, but I have my heels planted firmly into the ground...It's going to take more than politics to get me to quit...Boy it really feels good to vent...Thank you...Tell me what part of the UK do you live in? Well Juan have a great day...I will blog you later...Hugs BlueDust

I'm sorry about the different time zone juan, it sucks. It's too bad that you're all the way in the UK because then you have to be up at like 4:00 in the morning to blog with the rest of us. Don't feel too bad though. 2394 is in Canada and a lot of the time she has to be up kind of late if she wants to catch all of us while we're online. Just remember that we'll always respond to your comments, no matter what time you post them. About finding First Releases..... I've been able to find that on amazon. It's really expensive though to get a new copy instead of used. I would copy and paste the link to it on amazon on here, but my links usually get all screwed up. I just looked on amazon and for a new copy, prices start at $79.99. There actually is a brand new copy on amazon, not used, and it's $149.49. Way too expensive in my opinion and that would be why I don't have First Releases. I have ALL of their other CDs, but not First Releases.
So annabanana, you yelled at your geography teacher? That's hilarious! I've only yelled at my teacher once and she just warned me not to do it again, so I didn't because I was far too scared of her. So, a beach party with the guys huh? That would be fun! I'm not much of a beach person myself, but if the guys are there and they're performing then it's cool with me! Hey you mentioned something about your friend Seb........ is that a guy or a girl? And is he or she a member of the IM? Anyway, a bonfire to burn all of our homework would be cool! I have a bonfire with my friends at the end of every school year to burn our homework. There's something that's just incredibly satisfying about seeing your homework burn. Oh yeah, about stealing my award for writing the longest comment...... it's possible to do that, really it is. I mean, once you get all of your thoughts out and once you've addressed all of the people you wanted to say something to, your comment is bound to be lengthy. I mean I'm not even done writing this comment and I'm sure it's way long.
Alright...... well I stayed home today because I'm sick. I hate having a cold. It sucks in the first couple of weeks of school because it seems like EVERYBODY is tired and sick. When I was at school on Tuesday, everyone was sick with colds and sinus problems. Anyway, I hope the guys post some new pictures before they head over to the UK. I mean I'm totally cool with having like 500 comments on one picture, but I want to see new pictures too.
Alright well I'm off to make me something to eat. I have to shut the computer down for a while because we have a huge and pretty severe lightning and thunderstorm going on and I don't want the computer to get hurt. Sorry that this is so long again. You can ask anyone who I write emails with if I usually write comments, blogs, and emails this long and they'll probably tell you that I usually write longer ones, because I do. Anyway, hi to EVERYONE and ALL IM members! *waves to everyone* I shall talk to all of you later tonight. Love!

Haha.... my comment #98 is almost longer than #69! I love it!

Sorry, but now I have to post a third comment so that I can be #100 again! WOO HOO!!!!!!

gooangela....girl you ae nuts...love ya girl....so here we go....Hi BLUEDUST, GOOANGELA, 2394, ANNABANANA, WSUNICOLE06, INDYMOM,GOOGIRL1,LISAY52200, JUAN, MISSY, SEATTLESIREN, Aand anyone I forgot...WHEW......that was a mouth full now I need a drink!!! Love ya all!!!

Oh no....and a shoutout to ONLY4HER....sorry bud, didn't mean to forget you, or anyone else for that matter!!!

Uh oh... head exploding! *SPLAT!* It's like an evil game of 'concentration!' If I post here, and so do you, consider yourself HUGGED and HI-d by me from now on! LOL! I'll even throw in sloppy wet kisses from the Rover-oli! In a rush... can't read... be back later... ahhhhh!!!! Monkey Boobs??? Damn, got a joke for that one, but it'll have to wait!

Well I'm glad to know that we're all hugged, loved, and kissed by you SeattleSiren! I know, you really have to concentrate when you come to this picture, especially because we're writing long comments. I really want to hear your monkey boob joke so you better come back to tell it!

lol. You just gotta love the long comments. Thanks SeattlSiren for the hugs and hellos! gooangela I so wan to have a bonfire and burn all my homework! That's so awesome that you and your friends do that. I would so love to have a bonfire w/ my friends, but one of my best friends is a pyromaniac, and the other one has managed to burn water, plus I'm clumsy enough to fall into the fire, while one of my best friend watches and stares at the flames and the other one tries to help but ends up catching on fire. As for the rest of my friends they never seem to notice when I have near death experiences, so I don't think it would work, but maybe a BBQ pit... Hey annabanana I didn't know that the seasons were different too. IT"S SUPPOSED TO RAIN TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooo happy! I hate the sun and love the rain and cold, so I'm beyond happy. But what I REALLY like to do when it rains is pull up my blinds, turn out the lights & wtch Live In BUffalo, with a bowl of ice cream, 5 blankets, and my teddy bear. For me it doesn't get much better than that. NEwayz I don't think I'd mind summer all that much if I were in Australia though, w/all the hot guys on the beach. (: How hot does it get out there anyways? Well I gotta finish up some homework, I had a couple tests today and have a couple tomorrow so there's not much homework. YES! gooangela I am so envious, I LOVE thunderstorms! Except when playing softball,cuz it just turns out bad. Well shout outs to all of you! I will talk to you all later!

Well Bluedust,2394,Missy,Gooangela,Only4her,Horneylilangel71,Girlntx,Indymom,Wsunicole06,Annabanana,Juan,SeattleSiren,Krusher1969,Musicmaze,Jinfr,Willwork4Goo(metoo),Lisay52200,Stargirl,Blueberry,Locks61,Cortney and any else I forgot(sorry) it seems that we will not have pictures here for a while. Our Boys are on vacation living the good life. I am sure they are relaxing reading our blogs. So I thought I might spice it up a bit hoping we can reach 200 blog on this funky, monkey(with saggy bobbies) picture. Maybe well all cheer-up too. Some of us have had a crazy week, homework, too much work and lazy people at work (those are the people I work with), and pain in the rear co-workers. So I thought I might ask all of you (hope you don't think it is cheesy) how long have you been goo fans for, what song did it for you, how many concerts etc... Curiosity Kill the Cat! Big gooey hugs to all! Blog you all soon!
BTW-Mine is: Goo fan since 1998, fav song Slide (Duh), 7 concerts and if they have the 2 in Dec in Cali that will be 9 Yah!

Sorry I spoke too soon we have new pics! cool

Hey googirl1 I have only been to two goo concerts..I know I'm preety sad...I have been in a coma for the past ummmm nine years....Hey googirl1 sorry for the lazy peole at your work..Hire me I'm a hard worker......

Hey googirl1....I have been a fan since SUPERSTAR CARWASH was released....and I heard we are the normal, I was hooked....as for the concerts, I've never been to one...and they did 3 shows here all around me...ok I'm off to hang my head and cry....oh btw, my fave song for a deeper meaning is Acoustic #3 and I never get tired of hearing Big Machine!!!

Wow I feel embarassed, I've only been a Goo fan for about 4 going on 5 years, they had just released Gutterflower. I was young though and I hadn't discovered the radio or music outside of R&B and Old School (shudders), actually it was around that time my dad got me into Classic Rock... But my favorite song is Here Is Gone and I've only been to 1 GGD concert back in June and they didn't play Here Is Gone. ): I would give anything to see that song live.

Oh I'm oh so happy about the new pictures! Anyway, ladies I'm the pathetic one here! I've only been a die hard GGD fan since May 4, 2006! I've been a casual fan since back in 1996 or so, but I wasn't a huge fan until this year. My favorite song as a casual fan was "Slide", but the song that made me a die hard fan was "Better Days". It had a ton of meaning to me at the point in time that I heard it, so that's that.
As far as my favorite songs goes, the list is from 0-8! This is the order (and these ARE in particular order because of several different reasons):
0 = "Iris"
1 = "Without You Here"
2 = "Big Machine"
3 = "Two Days In February"
4 = "Broadway"
5 = "Cuz You're Gone"
6 = "What A Scene"
7 = "Here Is Gone"
8 = "On The Lie"
There ya have it! As for GGD concerts, I have never been to one, but I am dying to go to one.

Hey googirl1 Long ,long time ago I heard the Goo's song on the radio "Name" The DJ did not announce who the artists were... One day I was shopping in The WHEREHOUSE music store and I ran across one their CDs...I told myself "what the F**k! Who are the Goo Goo Dolls???? I Picked up the CD and turned it over and read the names of the songs...I ran across the song "Name" I all most peeeed in my pants... I told myself " That's the song I heard on the radio". I put the CD back...Sorry guys I didn't buy the CD that day, cuz I didn't have the money....Yes, I know ,so, so sad.....Anyway, a few years later I was watching music video on tv, and I was just about to turn off the tv when the next video came on... The video got hold of my attention and I sat back down in my chair... When video was almost over over the title of the video(Iris) and the Artists name(GGD) appeared on the Tv screen and I just about fainted...I told myself "Oh my GOD... THE GOO GOO DOLLS" I was very excited..That day I went out and bought the soundtrack to the movie"City of Angels." I played, and played the "iris" I have been a huge fan since, but it never dawned on me to see them in concert...When Gutterflower came out I told myself I was going to their concert...About a month later I was involved in a serious car accident..I was very devasted that I could'nt make it to their concert..After my accident I lost interest in going to any concert...Boy, was I stupid...Oh, well can't complain about the past too much...I very tired now...I'm going to stop Bantering Lots of love to you all...BlueDust

wow... I feel like I just read a novel! it was fun reading all your comments!

This bespeaks of a Robby adventure! I bet it was fun! I miss my John, tho.

OMG! annabanana you've met Greenday?! I'm not that big of a fan but my friend Natasha is OBSESSED! If she knew that I knew someone who had met them she would scream for like 5 min straight and jump up and down, and be incredibly hyper for the rest of the day. So your parents are undertakers? My mom's side of the family have ALL been postal employees, mom's been in th P.O. for about 22 years I think, my nino had been in for like 20 or 25 years, my grandpa was in for like 30, and my 2 aunts and other uncle were in for about 3-5 years each. Here's some advice to all of you NEVER work in the Post Office! lol. People do go postal, I've seen it on many occasions. Hey gooangela I think you gave your cold to me, i don't know how that'd be possible but yeah. I thought it was my allergies the first couple days but today was HORRIBLE, I think I have a fever, but I couldn't stay home because my dad might not have let me go to the Elton John concert tomorrow night. Did I tell you I was going? I love Elton John! But the only good thing about being completely miserable today was I got a lot of sympathy hugs that's always nice. Actually I think peopl need like 12 hugs a day or something, I forget where I heard it... NEwayz we should so get to 200 coments! That'd be awesome! Well much love to you all! Oh hey gooangela, how did you remember the exact day you became a die hard fan? I only remember the first time I heard a GGD song, it was Sympathy and I was getting ready to leave for San Jose and I had just discovered an Alternative station and liked the music and then I heard Sympathy and I later asked my dad for the Gutterflower cd for me. And I fell in love with it, of course!

Hey everyone, you all know who you are, I have been a fan since 1998. My ex and I split up and I moved to where I am now, and I met one of my neighbors. I was at her house and she had the Dizzy up the Girl cd and we listened to it. I almost died, not kidding. I had heard Slide on the radio before, anyway I fell in Love. Then I looked at the cd insert and fell in LOVE with John. Very soon after I went and bought the tape (didn''t have a cd player yet). I wore out the tape, again not kidding. I bought a cd player and the Dizzy cd. I couldn't wait for Gutterflower and bought it the first day it went on sale with my last $20.00! That is how much I LOVE them!!

I like hearing how people came about to love the GGD's! I wish I had listened to them years ago. But better later than never! I'm definately a "New Goo", but I'm making up for lost time. It's my new hobby (or as everyone else calls it...obsession). Thanks to the radio station that I won tickets to see the GGD perform one night back in April. I won the tickets for a friend, then we won two more (very lucky, I guess or it was fate). Well, long story short... I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH!!! When the performance was over, I was left wanting more. Thank goodness for cd's, itunes, DVD's and concerts. Saw them in concert here in August. Joined the IM few weeks ago. So a big THANK YOU to the Goo Goo Dolls for the music that makes my day, every day!

Well jmt928, I'm glad you found your way to the GGD sooner or later. I think they makes everybody's day, every day! That's a really interesting and awesome story though!
Hey Missy! How do I remember what day I became their die hard fan? Well that's easy! It was an incredibly significant day in my life. I was very depressed and angry and stuff like that and I needed something to make me happy. Well, I was watching music videos in the middle of the night because I had nothing better to do. I had just seen "Dani California" by the Chili Peppers and I loved it. So as I was about to get up to go get a drink, this other video came on that caught my eye. I was looking at the TV and the video was all calm and subtle, but then the camera just passed in front of John's face and I was like, "OH MY GOD!!!! This is the Goo Goo Dolls!!! That's.... that's........ that's.........THAT'S JOHN RZEZNIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was so happy because I was reminded of how much I loved all of their old songs. Anyway, so I sat down and watched the entire video. By the time it was over I was crying. When the little caption thing came up and it said "Better Days"
Goo Goo Dolls
Let Love In
I was soooooooooooooooooooooo happy! I was automatically in love and I went up to the computer right after that and literally spent six hours researching them and finding out everything I possibly could about them. By the end of that six hours I was happy and "in love"!
I have been hooked ever since. They are seriously what keeps me living from day to day (along with a couple of good friends, my mom, and all of you in here, ya know, basically my family!). I can't go a single day without visiting the IM, checking Robby's profile, listening to all of their music, and looking at pictures of them. These men are my life and I'm devoted to them.
Anyway, so that's why I remember what day it was exactly when I became a die hard GGD fan. I will never forget that day, EVER.

Oh and also Missy, you're so lucky because you're going to see Elton John! I would love to see him, but we're too late on getting tickets.........I hope you have tons and tons of fun though!
