Confession Time

Growing up I had a MASSIVE crush!
It was beyond anything anyone could imagine... (erm...Unless you're in your late 20's-to mid 30's you could have no idea what this was like. None at all!)
LOL!
*sigh*
The New Kids on the Block
This borderline obsession started when i was the ripe old age of 13 until I was 16.
In girl years that's like a MASSIVE amount of time. So much of my teen life was spent dreaming about, singing with, or dancing along to the NKOTB, that very few memories I have aren't connected with them.

Yes. I had the sheets, blanket, action figures (They're guys people... NOT Dolls), the T-shirts, the POSTERS, the buttons, the jewelry, the well... EVERYTHING. I mean, it was only right that I had the complete collection to prove my loyalty since I had EVERY intention of Marrying this one:
Yes, girls... sorry to say, but he was mine. LOL! Jordan Knight. I mean, seriously.... how cute does Jordan & Jenni sound..? or of course my older sounding Jordan & Jennifer... I was positive it was meant to be! LOL! I said my prayers every night begging the Lord to let me marry him--or at least meet him. Since I was positive once he met me, he'd be hooked! LOL!
It's amazing how the Lord had other ideas... Instead I very happily married my hubby (Who officially hates the NKOTB) and of course, now that I'm older and much wiser, I think I did a lot better marrying Mark than I could've ever imagined as a teen!

  3. What a hoot. I'm afraid they were way too young for me to even consider, since I'm way older than you. They are cute, though.

  7. HA! I remember the New Kids. :) Can't say I ever had a crush on them. My feelings were saved for The Beatles* (torn between John and Paul, actually.)

    *yes, I was a rather, let's say, unique girl growing up. :)

  8. I'll be loving you forever, just as long as you want me to be. Ooooh ooooh yes I'll be loving you..... Okay, I'll stop. NKOTB rock. I love them. Yes, that is not past tense. And, yes, most of the time, I still act like I'm 13 years old even though I'm at least ten years older than that.

  12. Isn't Jordan still so handsome??? I loved him too.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I have to agree that Jordan was the cutest NKOTB, by far. Yeah... I'm glad they don't let you marry who you are in love with as a teenager. I would've married Tom Cruise and that just looks like a mess waiting to happen.

  14. Steph--Ahem.. no comment. Eeeh! Me's a married woman now! LOL!

    Jenn--Tom Cruise? LOL! Okay, so i'm crazy I know...but I like him better now then I ever did as a teen! heheeh!

  15. Sorry...I was a Bon Jovi girl! lol

    I saw on the news last week that Jordan "came out of the closet". I wonder if it's true...

  16. Okay, so not to totally bombard all your posts with comments, but...

    I was a Joey girl. *sigh* I had NKOTB posters, sweatshirts, tapes, books, a LIFE-SIZED cardboard cut-out, sleeping bag... You name it. *giddy giggle*

    Oh, I've got to go watch videos on YouTube now! *sigh*

    LOL!

  17. I still love them. They are a big part of times of my life I love to remember.

    I was a Joe girl too. I never got a chance to see them in the early days (they never came to Romania) so last year I finally went to the concert in Boston. It was like walking back in time.

  18. Erica--Who bon jovi... I loved his later stuff, I didn't really know anything from the 80's since I went straight from beach boys and the monkees to the New kids! LOL! Yeah, i was sheltered! LOL!

    Janna--Shut up! You had a lifesized cardboard cutout??? NO WAY! And so not fair! EEEH! I would've died! Seriously! LOL! We would've been great friends! LOL! Since I loved jordan and you joey, it would've worked perfectly!
