[maP43]

Hi there!! Wow! It is great to hear from everyone!! VT, I am thinking about you and hope everything turns out OK. I had a lump scare the last couple of times I went for a mammogram. It turned out to be just some fibrous tissue. Tiger, I think I remember you going through it to, am I right? It is great to hear from you and I am glad things are going good! I will be praying for you, so we can have more babies to celebrate on the bus!!
nd, you hang in there. I am sure you are feeling a little uncomfortable but keep your eye on the prize!! Two little angel of your very own! I can't wait! Oh, happy late B-day!! I hope it was a good one!
fishy, I have watched idol a couple of times but I don't like anyone. Now they made that stupid rule that the judges can save someone! I'm done with it. A Dreadhead I will always be.
anny, how about you try out next year!! That would give me a reason to watch again! How is Ms. Hollywood doing with her new agent? I can't wait to see you on TV so keep us informed!
hippie, how about you? I see Rob made it to Vancouver, any stalking plans? I hope school is going well!
How is Idol? We haven't heard from you in awhile.
Who did I miss? JCM? Are you still around. Sorry if I forgot anyone.
I have been having a really bad month. Winter is getting to me and my sleep has been all goofed up again! The time change didn't help! Hopefully the weather will warm up soon and that should make a difference! It was -18 degrees here yesterday morning!! I am sick of it! blah! I started a new med this week also, that should help the sleep and the pain so....One day at a time! I hope to hear from you all again soon!! Bus 36's is the best!! ooooxxxxxx.

Hey Map!
Good to hear from you!
I've really been sidetracted from everything, agent wise. I've had a lot of school work lately, and my mom said school comes first. I always have a 4.0 and she wants it to stay that way. Prioritizing. Prioritizing. Prioritizing. Plus! I'm having one of my writings on abortion published! I'm thrilled.
It's starting to get hot here. EW!
Whoo! I have all honors classes next year! Except one, English! I have American Literature AP, which is a college class! Whoo! It counts as college credit! Writing has always been my strongest point.
Tomorrow is Jason's birthday! I hope I get to talk to all of you soon!

[ndsoccer5]

Happy Birthday to Jason! Happy day to all bus 36'ers! I miss you guys! I hope everyone is doing well! Anny, it sounds like you are keeping busy! I am proud of you, 4.0 and all those tough classes next year! You go girl! maP, I hope you are feeling better; I totally hear you on the bad weather contributing to making you feel worse. I have discovered that the sunny warmer days here in Chi-town are the days I feel better, I imagine it is the same for you. Hopefully now that spring is officially here you will start to feel better and better.

I am doing ok. Pregnancy is hard for me. Ugh. The good news is that the boys are doing well, and that is really all that matters. The bad news is that I am already extremely uncomfortable and in a lot of pain. I have trouble getting out of bed some days. I have 2- 2 1/2 months left now. I pray I can make it.

I miss Jason and hope we get a single or some news on the CD soon. I'm sure you all feel the same way. Please check in everyone when you can! Miss you!

[Tiger]

Hi everyone! It's great to read how everyone is doing! I thought about the bus on Jason's Birthday, wondered if anyone was celebrating Another year older, another year closer to Jason being of an age where I don't get squicked out for finding him cute, LOL!

I watched an episode of Idol for the first time this past week, and I am also unimpressed by anyone. The only one that caught my eye this week (well, I did like the Matt-piano guy okay) was the guy Adam. And I think the biggest reason I liked his performance was that it was such a HUGE divergance from where I think he normally is fashion and song-wise. It was impressive if only for that.

nd, sorry you're so unconfortable with the pregnancy! Just think, you're over halfway there! Just stay strong and keep focused on the end result. I'm willing to bet that 30 seconds after the delivery, when you see those boys, you'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!

vt, sorry about your lump! map is right, I also found one about 8 months ago. Mine turned out to be nothing bad, just a cyst. They drained it (which was not nearly as painful as people made it out like it would be) and they just checked again a few weeks back. It did come back, but the doc said unless it started to hurt or bother me, we could leave it now that we knew it was benign. So I'm praying that your results are as good!

map, so sorry you're having that weather! I feel like I'm roughing it down here-- it has rained lately, and the temps are high 50's/low 60's, LOL! But I feel for you-- I LOVE heat!

anny, congrats on the honors classes, esp the AP ones-- those will be such a help once you get to college. It's nice going into college knowing that you've already got credits lined up!

fishy, I sympathize with you & your home improvements too! Mr Tiger left earlier this week for a while and I have a HUGE list of things I want to do while he's gone. Problem is, I am under-motivated, LOL!

Hippie, hope you're doing well! I still haven't seen Twilight, I've thought about borrowing the books from a friend who was hooked on it. I just don't know when I'd read them, considering thye huge list of stuff I have to get done, LOL!

Well, I'm heading for bed soon! I have to get up early to drive for my doctor's office for a new month. Wish me luck!

[maP43]

Just stopping in to say, Hi Bus!!
I have to run out for med refills but wanted to take a quick minute to check in.
I miss everyone.
Oh one quick thing about Idol, I agree with Tiger, Adam what's his name, is the only one that caught my eye. I haven't been watching much though. How about everyone else? Anyone you like or hate? Fill us in! (There sure aren't any Jason Castro's in the running! That is for sure!)
Later!

[hippiepie2388]

Just on my way to sweet dreams, and don't have time to read posts, but I just gotta say...

I just listened to love uncompromised (I think! Gosh I don't even remember the name) and it is BEEE-YOUUUU-TI-FUL! I feel like I'm in Chicago standing out in the rain waiting for all the excitement again!

[sierrach]

HI Hippie. Gosh, when you said that it brought back such memories of the first time we saw Jason. What a yucky, wet day. Looked like drowned rats. The second time was just as bad, standing in the sun for hours, sweaty and sunburnedLOL. But, worth every minute. Hope all is well with you.

Hi all. I know I've been out of touch. We just got back from a ski trip to Minnesota. It was really nice even with the 12 inches of snow we got in the middle of the week. The temps were still in the low to mid 30's which made for some great skiing. Other than that, I've just been really busy with all the kids activities and work. I have been watching Idol, but it's not the same as in the last couple of years. I have yet to buy a song off of I-tunes this year. However the singer that most captures my attention is actually Kris Allen. I do like Adam as well except he always has to screech at least once during every song. Allison is also one to watch.

[meinvt]

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all you kind words . . . turns out the lump thing was exactly what you had, maP, and nothing to worry about. Phew! So I too have decided that I like Chris, Allison and though I'm not sure why, Adam. He's definately interesting - I always wonder what he'll do next.

I'm finally reading the Twilight books!!! I just finished the first, then piled all three kids into the car and went to the bookstore for the next - I couldn't wait! Why didn't you tell me they were so good! Just kidding, I know you did!

Anyway, have a great day everyone!

[maP43]

Good to hear from you fishy! Where in MN were you! It is just finally starting to warm up here this week!!(If you can call 42 degrees warm.) I am glad you had fun skiing!
VT, so so glad to hear the good news! Ya, about Twilight, major addiction Just wait!! I read New Moon so fast it was ridiculous!
Just watched Jason on Idol tonight. I didn't realize how much I missed his goofy face and beautiful eyes! That is what the contestants are missing this year, that likability! Still love that kid! I like Adam because he is something different but I to agree that Allison is someone to watch. She has talent!
Idol, I have been thinking about you? Who do you like this year and how was your trip to the show? You did go already right?
Well, I have to run, Lost is coming on and speaking of addictions! That show will drive me nuts before it ends!
I hope everyone had a chance to watch Jason and that you are all doing well!
Write to you soon!

[soundstoofishy]

VT first of all glad to hear that everything is ok and secondly you crack me up. Welcome to the Twilight club.

MaP we went to Lutsen, north of two Harbors/Duluth. It is a gorgeous place to ski with great views of Lake Superior.

I must say also I was very psyched to hear a Tears For Fears song on Idol. One of my favorite bands of all time. Cudos to Adam for choosing it.

[soundstoofishy]

I was just browsing MJ's big blog and just today there is a story that Jason has signed with Atlantic Records and is working with Kara Dioguardi. Go check it out.

[maP43]

fishy! Lutsen is beautiful!! That is my favorite place to go skiing in MN!! Glad you had fun!
I agree about the Tears for Fears song! Loved it!
Gotta go check out MJ's!! That sounds like very exciting news!!
Whoop!! (It has been awhile!)

[maP43]

OK, I had to sneak back on here just to say,
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
A CD is on the way!!
WHOOP!! Jason has a record deal!!!
#fizzy#
I am so celebrating!!!

I am very excited!! The worst part of Jason leaving AI was no more new Itunes!

I love you guys, because I know you will all be as excited as I am!
People thought I was nuts today!! ;D

[hippiepie2388]

Hey guys!

VT - I am SO glad everything is okay! I didn't have a lot of time to post last time and I was thinking of you!

nd - how are the kidlets doing? Hope everything is okay, and that you're feeling a little bit more comfortable!

Sierrach - I know! It seems like such a long time ago, but it's only less than a year! It was such a big trip for me haha and oh man, I remember rushing to the venue early in the morning, thinking we were gonna be late and miss him. Then we ended up getting a very very minor fender bender...heehee...and nd gotta out of the car.. "IS YOUR CAR OK??? IS MINE? OK.GOOD. GOTTA GO!!!" All of it was worth the weather!

As far as Idol goes....I haven't been watching it. It just feels like something (other than Jason, I'm not sure if I could handle it if he had to be back there again lol) is missing...there's just nothing really worth devoting x hours a week for, imho.

And Twilight? Oh man. I should really be in Van city right now. I keep hearing "RPattz had lunch here....walked over there...was seen walking in this general direction...saw a concert over here" and thinking "I've been there! I know where that is!" Heehee what would I even say if I bumped into him??? "I'm hippie and I've travelled _________ miles to stalk you!" LOL

Hmm let's see what's going on with me! School has been insane this year (more than usual). For my business class we had to write up a business plan (mine's 74 pages and that's not even close to what some people did!) and....it's just occurring to me now how much time that took! I haven't touched some of my textbooks since my midterm exams! Oh well LOL

I have my second exam of the semester in about 3 hours. Sociology...not worried! And then 2 more exams, and I'm done next thursday. SOOO close to freedom! Ahh!

And hollly hannah you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a summer job this year! It's ridiculous. BUT I have a job interview for an Event Planner (really excited about this) tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed!!!


Don't think I'd forget to mention....JASON WAS SIGNED!!! WHOOOP!!! I definitely have to work in the music indus. now...all my bands will be forced to collaborate


Hope everyone is doing well, and sorry for the long post! I miss you guys!

[annyanal]

CD!
WHOOOOOO! I"m SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER EXCITED!
ND! WHOOO! I can't wait to see pictures! I'm so excited, and I hope you stay healthy and all is well!
Map, I hope you're feeling okay, and all is well!
Minnesota sounds fun!
WHOO! Jason has Twitter

Hi Ladies!!!

So glad to hear all of you are doing well-- hopefully we'll hear from nd soon-- I'm anxious for more baby news!

Today while shopping, I was standing in the makeup aisle and my jaw nearly hit the floor when I realized I was listening to Neil Diamond's Forever in Blue Jeans. This made me realize several things:

1. Jason's version is SO MUCH better (sorry Diamond, gotta out you on that!)
2. This is the third time in the past year that I've heard a song over a store intercom that A) Jason sang on Idol and B) I'd never heard of before hearing Jason sing it. I've also heard I Don't Wanna Cry and If I Fell, two songs like Blue Jeans that I'd never heard before!
3. Evidently some other people in the world live Jason's music too-- in addition to those three songs, soon after Idol ended I was watching Meet the Press when Tim Russert had just died, and the producers used Iz's version of SOTR.
4. I am giddy at the prospect of more new music from Jason! And that he's working with some big names and a big label gives me a lot of hope-- especially since it took him so long to ink the deal! Follow my logic here-- by holding out for just the right deal, Jason showed any exec thinking of signing him that he was judicious and thoughtful and wasn't going to jump in with both feet just for the quick buck and sing a bunch of crappy music that's been sitting on sme label's shelf for years gathering dust.
5. I need to get online and talk to my dread ladies!!! I've missed y'all!

All is well for me-- busy, soo so busy. Mr Tiger isn't here right now, and while he was gone, I'd intended to clean/reorganize the house, garage, and yard top to bottom, start working out more steadily, and start writing a book. He's been gone over three weeks and I'm probably 55% done with the first thing, LOL! that book may have to wait till next deployment!

Take care-- I hope everyone has a great spring! VT, glad all worked out-- i knew it would.

[Tiger]

Hey!... while returning to the page, I noticed that it shows nd is online (don't know if that means she's signed in necessarily though...)

but if you are, nd... POST!... POST!... POST!

LOL, j/k!
