I don't know how they afford to do all that stuff either. I mean I guess at least it's going to a great cause but you know what fires me up? When they get all bent out of shape (epsecially the Howie people) if you want anyone to ask about the album or the other guys. They are always like "Wah wah wah this is a charity event for Howie's family wah wah wah" Well i'm so sure that they would care that much if Howie wasn't in BSB. They are only going to see Howie so stop trying to pretend it doesn't matter that he's a BSB.

I was lucky for the Brian golf thing because I happened to be going down to Nashville on Vacation to begin with. The Howie thing, I did splurge but I loked at it like a mini vacation and my own book release party since my book came out a few days before their CD did. lol

They're all such big fat hypocrites. It's really annoying. And I always get yelled at for saying the music is the most important thing... And then I get, "Then why do you write fanfics?" I like writing... *shakes head*

Yeah, but you're not married (right?).  I think it's different when you're married and talking (and writing) about a Backstreet Boy's penis LOL.

VERY far from it actually LOL Good so I can still talk about it (lol I keed)

But yea... Its creepy. I find the older fans usually have the most explicit stories too. Some of those olde women... Damn can we say desperate housewives? LOl

I think it's better if you're not married. *nod* Then you're just being young with hormones. :D

I sometimes wonder if any of them tell the truth about anything though. If their husbands really know what they are doing, if they are really even married lol or do they say they are going somewhere else?

I wonder if the hubbies know about the fanfic writign thing as well? I know no one knows I write fanfic lol

To be fair, it did stem from a very unrealistic fan fic... :D

And we are having an intense debate... Just about the Backstreet fandom.

At least I have an excuse. I'm not getting any so at least I can write about it LOL. But seriously there's not even THAT much sex in my stories.

Well it's not EXACTLY o/t... We're err discussing how we can incoporate crazy obsessed fans into our fan fics thus making them more realistic... Nods

I know LOL... you've got 50-year-old women writing Nick visuals, and it's like, uh... when you were Nick's age, he was 4 years old.  I'm sorry, but that's weird!!  I've got no problem with people that age being fans, but lusting after them like that kinda weirds me out.

Honestly, I really think they lie about having husbands... Because I would not put up with that if I were a husband.

Well, I know a lot of people keep their fanfiction writing a secret, so... probably not...

Well, I think Kelly mentioned that her husband knows she writes fan fiction... But there again Kelly is not one of those super scary sex obsessed fan woman types LOL
