New questions to ponder
RokofAges75:
So what does everyone think of Nick's new album so far?
I was a little underwhelmed when I first heard it, but I have to say, it has really grown on me. The songs are fun, and it's so NICK! Even without having liner notes, it's obvious to me that he wrote most, if not all, of the songs, and they are GOOD! Even the silly ones are clever lyrically and catchy as hell musically. My instant favorites were Man on the Moon and Horoscope, but I'm also really loving Get Over Me, Second Wind, and All American now too, and I like all of the others. I don't have a single skip song, which is a first for me. I even started writing a one-shot inspired by a couple of them this weekend, and you know how infrequently I write songfics.
Just curious to hear everyone else's thoughts!

I love it as well. I've only listened to it twice but it's just a happy cd. It just reminds me of how he is doing these days. I love Man on the Moon. Besides, I Will Wait, I think it's my favorite song in there. I even like the booty song lol
RokofAges75:
I agree!! I think Second Wind says it all. This whole album is definitely a tribute to how far he's come. And yes, I walk around with "We like our... boo-TAY... made in the USA!" stuck in my head on a regular basis, even at work LOL. And Man on the Moon is such a sweet little 50s-sounding song; I adore it so much!!

Good thing for me this year was my return to writing. Returning to something I thought I had given up on brought me a lot of joy. I also booked the European Cruise. On top of this I got to finally tell Nick thank you for saving my life and he responded. And for it being the week before the anniversary of it happening it meant the world.
Sorry that turned into three things lol.
Bad stuff: well, in the past few months I was sick, had a visit to the hospital, had some family things going on, got hit with a 1,700 hospital bill for one night in the emergency room, had a lot of drama at work. So I guess it was pretty even this year. Unfortunately more bad things happened than good. I was bullied at comic con as well. I don't know if I'm going to cosplay again but I feel it's more a issue of I don't know what character to do next than me quitting it totally.

Okay, this post is going to be rather long as I've just caught up on the thread. :)
First, Mare, I'm so sorry to hear that you may have MS. My friend's husband was also recently diagnosed with a form of MS (Relapsing-Remitting). So far, he has been doing well and has not yet experienced any of the physical struggles that you have described. It really is a horrible disease and I truly hope that you are able to find ways to cope, and that your situation is able to improve. Just keep pushing forward!
Next, Tracy, OMG $1700 for an emergency room visit?? That's insane!! As a Canadian with free healthcare, I am always amazed at how fortunate I am whenever I hear of how much it costs to receive treatment in the US. That being said, I hope that you are feeling better and that some of the drama has settled down in your life. One more thing in regards to you being bullied at Comic-Con ... really?? I would have thought that the community at that event would have been very supportive. It's not really my thing, so I have no evidence to support my assumption, but I am sorry that you had such a negative experience. People's behaviour amazes me ... and not always in a good way.
Finally, I am STILL waiting for my Nick CD to arrive. SERIOUSLY?!?! It's been over a week since I pre-ordered the damn thing. It's shipping to Canada not the f-ing moon! LOL I have listened to it online though and I have to say that I'm also enjoying it. I Will Wait is definitely my favourite and I'm with you, Julie, in the sense that I also love Man On The Moon!! I have to admit that I did not like Nick's first two solo albums (don't hate me!). HAHA So, I've been pleasantly surprised with this one. However, AJ's solo album is still my favourite by far and I'm eagerly awaiting his new album (and BSB 2016 of course)!
Okay, to wrap things up, the highlight of my year was the birth of my baby girl and the fact that I got to spend the whole year at home with her!! Although, I initially found the adjustment to motherhood to be challenging (putting it mildly), I wouldn't have traded my year at home with her for anything. I'm back to work now and, while it's nice to be back, it's also been hard to adjust to sending her to daycare.
