NEVER mix baileys with rasberry vodka cruiser soooo bad lol omg i missed all my goo goo dolls gooangela i think its fair to say cox im exaclty the smae as u that we are obsesssed lol obsessions aren't always bad as longas they are about goo goo dolls very good! lol im jyust tlaking crap now hey u knoe that michael guy that was paying out the ggd? well he finally wrote a half decent article!!! its still like not being supportive of the ggd but hes not being harsh and imature hes writen a mature simple article and i'd praised him for it because b4 he was a complete asshole too robby! we're getting there to 200!!! go us yay!! shout outs hugs and kisses to every goo fan out there in the world peace out nighty night/ goodmorning

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.

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

Darn, make that 200!

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

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!

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!

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

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

What's the recoed at??

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?

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

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;)

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!

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!

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!!!

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).

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 BTW hi jmt928! Welcome to the IM!

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 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!

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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

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