I thought they were together... *very lost* But that is pretty harsh. :(

Well, at that point in the story they weren't exactly together yet. The line was a lil blurred with them. The point being though was that Alyssa was already feeling a lil disapointed in herself cuz she in a way let Nick take advantage of her (not that she minded lol) and having those girls stare at her like she was some whore for sleeping w/ her ex b/f (which these girls prolly very much were in the same boat at one point or another) was like the tip of the iceberg for her. It's one of my favorite scenes actually

They are!!  CF on LD is 50+.  She's like older than my mom.  And she's a crazy Howie teeny... who, unlike real teenies, actually has money so she can go stalk him at all of his charity events.  That's what makes "mature" fans scarier than teenies.

That sounds like the "mature fan" that runs WhoDaManInc... . I honestly wonder about mature fans... Do they quit their jobs or something when the Boys go on tour? It seems like they're at every single show....

That's so true! That's why I think fans are getting worse. Their main fan base is now like early to mid 20's and a lot older now with REAL jobs and more money and other resources to go stalk them with LOL

Depends on the older fan. I think it's more maturity than age and some of the older fans (I'm talking in their forties and up) act like they are fifteen.

Well, I wish they would act their age, it's very unbecoming.

She should be able to sleep with her ex if she wants, sheesh.

That's what I don't understand.  Because most of them say they have jobs... and they obviously have money to be able to go all these places... but how do they get off work to travel so much?  *scratches head*

They probably do fetishy internet porn on the side for extra cash or something.

Money? Who has money? I have no money... And if I did, they'd get a CD and a ticket's worth. That's it.

I know right! Damn... I want a job like that. And while I'm at it a husband or a b/f that is completely supportive of the fact that I want to follow BSB on tour and is willing to foot all the bills for me in my pursuit to finally get Nick Carter to notice me so that I can kick his ass to the curb and we can run off and get married happily ever after LOL

I probably won't even be able to get out of work to see my grandmother and aunts/uncles/cousins and Christmas, but they can take off months at a time... It boggles me...

Huh... I wonder who looks at her fetishy porn then?

LOL yes it is! I don't thikn they even realize they do it though which is scary!

It also scared me how all the older type fans were crowding aroudnd Leighanne And Baylee at the golf thing. At the time Baylee was really little and also not feeling well.

It just creeped me out lol

LOL that's another thing!!!  I have to wonder what the husbands of these women think... especially the ones who refer to "Thor" and write tons of visuals and stuff.  Fanfic itself is one thing, but when you're constantly writing out your sex fantasies with Nick or Kevin WHILE married... that's kinda weird to me.  If I were the husband, I'd feel rather inferior...

I'm beginning to wonder if a lot of them ave husbands/significant others....

I mean, they obviously live their life in pursuit of said Backstreet Boy...

Now thats messed up. Its bad enough to crowd the guys, but Baylee? And then they wonder why Brian gets all pissy about people taking pics of Baylee and stuff.
