foxmonkeyWhy do I always want to start these posts with maniacal laughter?
BWAHAHAHA! Had a strong urge to hit the thrift shop today. Around 1:30, I decided to put some clothes on and see what I could find. Hit one of the neighborhood junktique shops, found a couple of pins. Woohoo! I love vintage jewelry. Mosied up the road to the thrift shop.
Prowled around a bit, didn't see anything interesting in the CD section. Back to the books and mags, browsing, browsing...saw a familiar face looking back at me from the children's section. JC. I looked away, then my brain processed it, and I looked back. JC! More specifically, the JC-specific copy of "NSYNC with JC". Aiiiii! Snatched that thing up quicker than you could say "woohoo." Took a quick peek to see if the other guys were represented, but no. I'm absolutely giddy.
Eeee! Just flipped through the pages and found something I must share.
Sports were the perfect outlet for the energetic young JC. He had always been extremely physically agile, and he always enjoyed being around a lot of friends. Football in particular was a great release for JC's restlessness, and playing on a team fulfilled his need for male comaraderie. (Not surprisingly, JC says he enjoys being part of 'N Sync for exactly the same reasons!)
Dude. You can't make this stuff up. ;-) Well, we do, but you know what I mean.
Hmmm, here's another, wildly different version of the creation myth. I've never heard this one before. It starts with JC and Justin in Nashville (that much we've known) then throws a curve:
While JC and Justin were off in Nashville, Joey had become close friends with another Universal Studios performer, Chris Kirkpatrick. [snip] Chris confided to Joey that he wanted to get a singing group together. Joey said he knew two guys who just might be interested. [snip] It was Chris who first spoke to Joey about getting some guys together who could sing and dance. Then Joey called Justin. And it was Justin who brought JC into the mix.
Webba hey?

Date: 2004-04-25 08:17 am (UTC)I thought exactly the same thing. Because I've often wondered:
1) since JC and Joey went to Dr. Phillips high school together and
2) Joey hung around the MMC set and met Justin there (and already knew JC) and
3) Chris knew Joey from Universal,
why Joey didn't pop up in the "let's get a band together!" equation a little sooner. The 'running into Joey at Pleasure Island' thing always sounded kind of goofy, and not very flattering to Joey's talents. ;-) "Oh yeah, Joey can sing and dance. Let's ask him!"
Why would they change it? To put the spotlight on the Mousers, maybe, for whatever reason?
Justin was so talented that he popped up in Chris' mind immediately (even though he only knew him from auditions), and JC knocked Justin's socks off, so he called *him* immediately? Even though we now know he probably just walked down the hall, knocked on JC's door and said, "C! Some guy's on the phone!" ;-)
And of course JC has a need for males. Isn't that what it said? :)
Bwahahaha! I love that soooooooooo much.
