Happy New Year!
Amber and I in Times Square last night. (Not really.)
Ahhh…2010. Has a nice ring to it. Although, if I am honest, I am kinda sad to see 2009 go. Why you may ask– or not, but I will tell you anyways– because it is the year that it all started, so to speak. It is the year that Amber and I, along with some other great ladies (and one guy, holla Jordan), who we have affectionately termed “The Plastics”, came together one crazy August weekend in Dallas and saw these guys perform.
From that weekend, after much “courting” on Twitter, Amber and I decided to commit our lives together start this blog. So, you can see why I am a tidge sadpanda to bid adieu to 2009, right?
But like a cup of caramel macchiato from Starbucks, a view of The Hangover or when The Plastics get together, all good things must come to an end. So a fond farewell 2009– it was a good run! And…
HELLO 2010!
Now, like everyone else we here at SoS want to start the New Year off right by declaring our New Year’s Resolutions. That’s right, we have some goals, or maybe new “rules”, if you will, for ourselves.
Amber’s Resolutions:
1. I will not word vomit all over Marcus when I talk to him again. I’m going to be calm, cool and not mention that I run a blog so he will mishear the name and once again end up at a porn site. Sorry about that Marcus. FYI… We do not run THAT site.
2. I will never bring something lame for the guys to autograph again. This includes old Entertainment Weeklys and photos of us together. ::face palm:: Now that I have about 6 things signed from each of them, I think I can safely tuck that fangirly part of me that always wants an autograph.
3. I will attempt to be a bit more incognito at Sam concerts. The fact that this guy has a memory like a steel trap is concerning. So when I am tempting to go back through the meet and greet line for the 6th time, I will say no (and mean it!). No means no!
4. I will eat Waffle House with Jeff, Dave and Mark after the new year. I will have waffles, no wait, french toast so I seem international, and eggs and chocolate milk. Then they’ll talk about things and Canada and I’ll smile and nod, having no idea what they are talking about.
5. I will get me a Bobby hug. Considering he is the ONLY one of ALL the guys (including the men, or band, or whatever we are calling them now), this is a must for the year. I may have to drive by hug him to catch him off guard, but I will. Or else I will just be charming and earn it the right way (although this way takes more time).
2. I resolve to control the word vomit around the guys. Much like Amber, I shout out redonk stuff without thinking. Unfortunately most of my verbal diarrhea is Pervy McPerverton in nature. No Ma’am. Wrong Answer.
3. I resolve to ask the hard burning questions the next time I come in contact with the guys, such as, “Bobby– can we see your tattoo and do you have others?” and “Sam– What does your Mom think about your earring? Tsk Tsk”
4. I resolve to find some low-rise tights to wear, should I ever get another hug from Marcus, so he doesn’t think I only wear granny panties.
5. And finally, I resolve to attach myself to Amber for when she goes to Waffle House with Mark, Jeff and Dave. I don’t even have to eat. I will just sit in the corner and try not to creep them out by staring too much.

Hahahahaha I LOVE this post! It’s funny because for the very first time since I can remember I do NOT have a resolution to lose weight & get in shape this year. I actually, amazingly and finally did that last year. Now I just have to figure out how to keep it off. THAT is the trick. But I digress…
Now that does not mean I don’t have a new year’s resolution or two. Coincidentally, mine too center around my pathetic and quite embarrassing interactions with the guys. I only have two but I think they will pretty much cover all the bases.
1) Try to force myself to put down my camera for the shows, at least for part of the shows so I can actually be in the moment & enjoy the experience while it is happening & not a week later via the video that I also recorded. Though truth be told, it’s a bit of an automatic response. I don’t seem to have much control over it, so I seriously doubt this will actually happen. Plus, I have a feeling you lovely ladies, as well as many others, might be disappointed if I did do that. So we will have to see how this one actually works out.
2) This is the truly important one. The one I need to stick to. It must come to pass. For the sanity and safety of all involved. I GarnetGurl hereby resolve to have my friends tape my mouth shut, tie my hands behind my back and tape me to my chair whenever I am near Bobby so I do not word vomit all over the poor boy. I stutter and the oddest most awkward and embarrassing things seem to escape my mouth when I am in his presence. It’s like I am suddenly afflicted with turrets. Is there such a thing as situational turrets??? It’s not inappropriate or suggestive or anything like that. Just incredibly incredibly awkward. I believe my vocal and physical restraint will simply be best for all involved. I can then escape the shows with a tiny shred of dignity.
Phew!!! Okay, that’s it. That should cover all the bases.
Cheers & Happy New Year to all!! I look forward to the new year and the many adventures it will bring with you lovely ladies!!! MWAH!
This has been a great year. Plastics forever!
Okay, I am CRACKING UP laughing over here, as always, with you two’s wit!! I have not heard that you sent Marcus to a porn site, Amber. Tsk Tsk!! LOL
Also, fyi (and keep this on the dl okay? That goes for all the hundreds of visiters too *wink, wink*) Mustache Mark told me that he/The Men will follow anyone that can solve his cryptic messages. So THAT may be one of my New Years Resolutions! Thank you so much for keeping us updated and laughing over the last few months, can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store. And a HUGE thanks for the shoutout and linky poo!
Thanks for the love guys! So glad we’re all getting the word out. Come join us on the forums! Tell us what’s missing!! I know we’re not a blog but we’re trying to be a one-stop shop. Happy New Year ladies. Here’s to drinking and watching shows together in 2010.
