I *will* see you guys... if it's the last thing I do.
I'm desperate, people. And desperation--especially with me--is horrible.
I put a post up in one of the egroups I'm subbied to, and it reads something like this:
Subj: [RomanticNsyncWriters] I'm bawling like a baby on the inside... :( HELP ME!

okay guys, here's the deal:
Did I ever tell you all that I've NEVER gone to an *NSYNC concert? And I mean NEVER. I've gotten thisclose to going, but I haven't ever gone to one. Well... today the tickets go onsale and my dad's insistent on asking my MOM if I can go. The man OBVIOUSLY doesn't understand that if you want *NSYNC tix you've gotta hurry--and FAST.
So, right now my stomach's all knotted up, and I'm wanting to cry. This is my only chance to get *NSYNC tickets cheap. After that, my only hopes are tickets.com, (which charges a LOT of money for just one ticket), and any--if all--radio station contests. If anyone lives somewhere near the Dallas/Ft. Worth/Irving TX area and knows a radio station contest, please email me @ Crazyce1285@cs.com. Please help me see *NSYNC!

That's sad. If anyone out there can help me... please do! I must go!

Thats horrible, i wish you luck with tickets. i know how you feel, my first concert, it fell through when my mom was using someone elses card and didnt know all the details and had to hang up. though i was lucky enough to get tickets another time, i know what its like REALLY wanting to go and then just bawling when something happens and you cant. i wish you luck with getting some tickets. i know how much of a pain parents can be sometimes. good luck:)

Aww thanks. :)
For the next couple months or so I'm gonna be a radio addict... I must go, I must go...
I've been calling KISS FM all day, ever since they started giving away *NSYNC tix. Well, each time I call the line's busy! ARRRRRRRRGH!
Still frustrated... if anyone can help me, mail me or SOMETHING!
It's none o' mah business... but DAMN! Justin with no hair is like Eminem not offending anyone. It just doesn't make sense. But he's still a sex-ay man. Wonder if Britney strokes his fuzzball head now. (*sniffles @ the mental picture*)
Well, anyshit, this is GRAMMY WEEK! I want *NSYNC to win one. Why? 'Cause I DO!
I'm still hopin' for a miracle for this ticket thang. Please mail me if you have ANY knowledge of contests or whatever that I can enter, aight? The show I wanna go to is July 8 in Irving. E-mail me, aight? Help a sista get to an *NSYNC show!
BTW, I'm almost done with my poster to take to the show, LMAO. The letters like, have flames in 'em and it says "Justin N Lance, 2 much BOOTY in 'da pants!" Take my idea and you will die. :)~
Still no tickets. But, however, I *do* know of someone who has some. Rachel, a girl who's in my home ec class, has a friend who has six tickets. SIX! Oh, my world is soooo unfair...
I told Julie the other day that I'm considering stripping for tickets. (NOT REALLY!) She said I should post it and maybe Joey would see it and he'd be like, "DUDE! Get this girl some tickets! Maybe she'd strip for me privately if we got her front-row!" (LMAO!) So, *NSYNC, if you by some divine miracle read this... I AM A DESPERATE GIRL WHO WANTS TO SEE YOU IN IRVING!!!!!! HOOK A SISTA UP!!!!!!
I called Ticketmaster yesterday and guess what? I *might* have a shot at getting the tickets! WHOO WHOO! I just need like, 70 dollars... that'll be the most I've ever paid for a concert ticket.
Yesterday I bought Teen Beat--it was the first pinup mag I bought in like, three months. Pretty damn good pictures. But you know what? I miss All Stars, TB's sister 'zine. They closed it down, and I'm sad about that. They had the *best* pictures, man. But, anyway, I put these pictures up on my wall and everything. I have 74 posters now, I think. Not much compared to other people, but that's the most I've ever had of one group.
Dude, the funniest thing happened. Chelsie and Nichole came over to my house on Friday night 'cause they wanted to borrow 10 Things I Hate About You, and I let 'em come into my room, even though it was all messy and everything. Well, Chelsie's not into pop at ALL, but she admitted that she thought Chris was cute when he had the black and white dreads. Because I'm a nice person I ended up giving her a picture of him with the dreads. (heehee)
There's more I wanna say but now I must go. 'Bye!
Okay, tonight I bring up the ticket deal with both 'rents. I just need to get 'em both together at once and approach 'em about it. You know? And maybe--just maybe--by the end of the week I might have tickets. Let's all pray now. :)
Last night I went to her site and I saw that she was selling and I nearly had a heart attack. I dunno what's she's charging but Lord KNOWS if it's cheap I'm buying. How exactly, 'cause my 'rents won't wanna buy from a stranger? I'll explain later.
Ah man... why is this happening? I'm watching BSB's video for "The Call" and for some odd reason I think Nick looks fine as hell in the car. Slap me, someone.
Now "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" is on. I know Justin must be havin' some issues with this, LOL. Acting or not, I know he musta been like, "Give her some more clothes!" or something. LMAO. Typical angry boyfriend reaction.
I'm dying for the new *NSYNC video, man. I finally found out that the tour is called the Pop Odyessey or something like that. Heehee. "2001: A Pop Odyessey". Well, I thought that was funny. (rolls eyes)
I heard that 3LW is gonna be opening on the tour! WHOO WHOO! At least it'll be a relief to see them. And they'll help me get over the Willa shock.
Let me be political for a few minutes: I'm annoyed that there's been yet another flippin' school shooting. My prayers are with the families of the wounded and with the dead.
So Mandy's charging $80 dollars for the tickets. Lordie. I'm never gonna be able to afford that. Oh well. That dream was nice while it lasted.
BUT... I *do* have backup plans. Numero uno: annoy the hell outta KISS FM, the local bigwig radio station. Numero dos: beg and plead Mom and Dad to plunk down the money so I can order tickets and promise to pay them back with my summer job. That's the inital plan.
So, for now, I think I'm gonna write up a few desperate e-mails to the station. Wish me luck, LMAO.
And, as always, e-mail me if you can help.
Well, anyway, I went and re-read her BSB concert diary thing. It was so cool. And I hafta agree when she said this:
"It was unreal...it was actually them. It hits you right there, because for two years you have known these guys only through the TV. It's this piece of glass and a satalite image, broadcasted from L.A. or something, where the Boys are, across the nation, from three hours before. And now, finally, they're palpable, and breathing the same air as you. This may seem corny, but ... they're finally real."
I remember when I saw BSB on the "Into the Millennium" tour. Sure, I'd been a fan for nearly two years then, and I'd seen them a year before, but that was the concert where I was the closest to the performer than I'd ever been. It was just so surreal. And, like Chenney said, that's the moment where they're truly real to you. (it was the same way when I saw Christina A. and Destiny's Child last September) They're not just an image on a TV screen or a picture in a magazine, it's at that moment that they're really existant--'cause sometimes it seems as though they're a dream.
So what am I sayin' in this entry? That's just how I want my *NSYNC concert to be. I've been keeping up with them for just about three years now--since March of '98, when I saw the video for "I Want You Back". I've had four chances to see them live, and they're four missed opportunities. I just want to see them; I want to have that feeling.
I want them to be real to me.
All I want, for two hours at the most, is for them to really be existant to me.
'Twas the night before No Strings
And all through the malls
The Sam Goody clerks were stirring
Trying to keep up with the calls
From the girlies who wanted the CD now, they were becoming quite red
And visions of *NSYNCers danced in their heads
That was totally impromptu, LOL.
I was thisclose to getting tickets, dudes. I called KISS FM and I talked to Domino, the DJ. The convo was kinda like this:
Domino: Hello?
Me: Hello? Is this KISS FM?
Domino: Yeah.
Me: Ohmigod! I got though! Um... when are you giving away *NSYNC tickets?
Domino: In about ten minutes.
Me: Oh wow, thanks! 'Bye.
So I called ten minutes later when they played the thing. And the phone rang. And rang. And rang.
And finally they picked the winner. And my phone was still ringing.
Sigh.
Well, at least they're giving them away all week. Maybe I can win then. And if not... I'll beg Mom and Dad for money.
And there's another thing that's depressin' me. I was in the big contest on the *NSYNC Galaxy Fanboard and my team didn't make it to round three. My *NSYNC life sucks right now.
Okay, so it was 5 o' clock, and I had the radio on in the kitchen. So I call KISS, and the phone must've rang like, 30 times. I had it on speakerphone and I let it ring 'til Domino picked up. I chatted with him for awhile and asked him if he could put me on hold. He was like, "No, but nice try." So he gave away tickets a little after that, and I didn't get through. Then like, an hour or so ago he plays the dial tone and the "Hi, this is *NSYNC--call now!" thing, and I'd dialed the number again. And a miracle happened: the phone was RINGING.
I was like, "Oh my GOD... what caller am I?!" Domino picks up and goes, "You're caller number one!" *click*! I was like, "CALLER ONE?!?!?!?!?! AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Man... I may be gettin' warmer folks...
I asked my 'rents to give me the rest of the money so I could buy two tickets. My mom told me that I can't get 'em unless whoever I'm taking gives me the money to get theirs.
Here's where the problem comes in.
No one I know likes pop. Everyone at my school likes either rock, rap, or R&B. I mean, finding a pop fan in my school is next-to-impossible.
So, I'm up a creek. I cannot find anyone to go with me. If I can't... I'm gonna have to sit through the show with my mom. How uncool is that?
*grr*
Well, anyway. I'm trying to get into this thing called FANwatch. I hope I make it! :)
So far, I've heard of several opening acts for the tour. Eden's Crush, Dream, BBMak, 3LW, Toyna Mitchell, and Meridith Edwards. I just don't know who's opening when. I hope that at my show Eden's Crush is opening. "Get Over Yourself" is like the female version of "Bye Bye Bye"--I just realized this last night.
I cannot find a soul to go to the show with me. That is depressing. I hate going to concerts alone! Even worse than going alone, I hate going with just my mom. My friend's parents tend to be a bit cooler, 'cause mostly they seem to remotely like the band's music. My mom doesn't. That's why I'd much rather attend with a friend in tow.
I told Mom about the quiet rooms that they have at the shows, and she was like, "How do you get in there?" and I told her that I think you have to have a ticket to go in there too. You should've seen her. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head. She said, "I have to pay sixty-five dollars to sit in a quiet room?!" I agree. That'd be a waste of a perfectly good concert ticket.
But anyhoo... I nearly have enough money to buy my ticket! I just need FIVE MORE DOLLARS. FIVE.
Okay, we went to get something to eat and my mom tells me that Kay--one of her co-workers--has a son who could be my "date" for the *NSYNC concert. I think his name is John, he's 14, and my mom says he looks like he could be in BSB or *NSYNC.
And you know what? I'm in absolute disbelief.
For starters, the guy's 14 and he likes *NSYNC. Second, he looks like he could be in a pop group--according to my mom. And quite frankly, I'm quite anxious to meet him, LMAO.
