For the curious...

I'd just like to know if y'all thought that I was overreacting.

Dizzyupthegirl:

Lance is part of Nsync, but really, he is less than even the 1/5th he is supposed to be.

And Diz? Why would you say that he's less than 1/5th? He's one of the top three most popular of the guys.

Not popularity-wise, which is relative anyway. What defines popularity...The one who sells the most lip gloss? I meant he is not quite 1/5th in terms of having not been their from the true begining, not really being part of the *NSYNC name (Lansten? Oh come on), hardly having any vocal parts other than his minor harmonies, and even his shoddy dance contributions. Even Lance has only tenative confidence in his vocals, if we took anything away from his Atlantis concert solo. Everyone has their own opinion of Lance, but I would not be sad at all if he left and Nsync became a quartet.

Mariah:

Lance is such a fucking idiot. Personally, I wouldn't trust some no-name company to fly me to space. That US millionaire who did it a few months ago went with the Russian space team. I guess the only way he could recover from the humiliation of OTL was to become a fucking astronaut. Um, ok.

Bari:

As for him going, I think it's still a waste of money on ANYONE's part, and it just shows that anything can be bought. Hey... astronauts- you studied all that time in college and grad school, but a boy-bander can go into outer space too for the right price... take that. Might as well chuck your degree out the window.

Mariah:

I don't care if this is a "great opportunity" for Lance. IF this was Justin taking 6-7 months off to do a solo project (which is inevitable) everyone would write him off and call him egotistical. So, what is *NSYNC suppossed to do while Lance is "fulfilling" his dream? And, what exactly made this company want to pick Lance? IF he isn't paying out of his own pockets..what is the big draw? I'm sure *NSYNC has their whole year planned out already, and they were going to take some time off anyway. But, 6-7 months is long time and they are at the height of their career. Without Lance they can't even make special appearances to keep their name in the spotlight.

Like I said, once again people will be laughing at *NSYNC on a whole. NO one knows (or cares) about Lance Bass. The jokes have already started.

Says who, Mariah? Keep in mind, Chris and Lance are jockeying for "Least Loved Status" in the mind of most teenies.

And that's when I almost posted something nasty about Joey before I realized what I was doing.

Anyway, was I overreacting? Is this just 'friendly ribbing'?

I don't know. One of the things that I almost posted was on the lines of 'if this is friendly ribbing, I would never want to be your friend.' And as far as it goes, that's true.

Thanks for the support. I'm just going to ignore them from now on. Well, not 'ignore' ignore, but not pay attention ignore.
