Those Crazy Grobanites Again
This morning I got an email from the Friends of Josh Groban people saying there were new videos on the website. Went, clicked, enjoyed, and then, like the masochist I am, I just had to check the messageboard. As usual, there was wank.
Brief bit o background: Josh Groban - pretty man, pretty voice, popular with women old enough to be his mother. Think like a Backstreet Boy for the bridge club. The really weird thing about this fandom is that those of us who are actually in the same age range as the poor guy (he's twenty-three) tend to be the sane ones, while it's the forty to sixty-year-old women who get really fanpoodly. I don't know why this is, but it disturbs the hell out of me.
Anyway. First off, we have NCGrobanFan hallucinating. And I do mean that literally.
NCGrobanFan: I have a Josh experience that is sort of supernatural this happen two years ago right after I became a Grobanite.
So two summers ago, I was working on an independent movie. The move was a kind of hunted house/suspense/thriller move. We were filming in an old house that is supposedly hunted for real.
While the crew was setting up for the shot. I was in the room where all the equipment was stored all by myself. I was sitting on the floor listening to Josh's debut album in my portable CD player. I was sitting facing towards the door but just to the right of the door. In front of me was a full-length mirror leaned up against the wall. I happened to look up over at the mirror and in the mirror I saw Josh Groban! He was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt. He was just standing there watching me. Since I was a new Grobie then the only pictures that I’ve seen of Josh were on his website that was up at the time and his appearance on Oprah. He looked real, like he was really standing there behind me and I was seeing his reflection in the mirror. I said to myself “Josh?!” and looked behind me, nothing and nobody was there.
I don’t know how to explain this. Maybe I was just really connected with his music at that moment. I don’t know. I haven’t told anybody about this before, but I thought that I would tell y’all and see what y’all think about it.
Me, I think you should remember your medication, dear.
So that was pretty weird, but today's real wank is the one over People magazine, who have apparently slighted the poor boy.
OctOpal: The new Hot Bachelor edition hit the newstands today.Orlando Bloom is on the cover.Whipped through the music section real quick and----no Josh
I guess PEOPLE figured they'd keep us happy with last weeks article. But c'mon------Ben Jelen hasn't even been around that long
Maybe they figure Josh is too sweet to be HOT-----well there's always the annual most beautiful issue
Joni: I quit my subscription a couple of months ago because they slighted Josh once too often as one of the sexiest men in entertainment. If they ever decide to honor Josh, I'll buy that issue, just like the one with President Reagan.
SavageGrobanite: It looks like PEOPLE will have to get another of my FAMOUS letters!!! They've GOT to be tired of me by now...hmm...
AnBMom: you know, on another board i go to we were discussing today orlando being on the cover of the sexiest bachelors edition - and i mentioned (of course) that josh should be on the cover of that, that HE should be the "sexiest bachelor" - and do you know what they said???? they gave me comments of "he doesn't do anything for me", "who's that?", "he's WORSE!!" (i got that one after i posted his pic after someone had posted a pic of someone else), and "if it weren't for his voice i would think he was SKEERY"!!!
holy CRAP!!! what the hell is THAT all about??? i swear, i converse with complete heathens, that's all i have to say....i just don't understand what they could be seeing with their eyes and in their head, that they don't see how completely BEAUTIFUL he is??
sigh....well i guess i won't be buying that issue....
SavageGrobanite: *DIES* What more is there to say? They are heathens and do not have good taste!
Get out of my fandom. You're making the rest of us look like idiots.
