Dude, you LIKED New Kids on the Block!? Seriously, that's it, I can't talk to you anymore. >:|
Ok… um… about that: I can explain.
Um…
1. I was dumb, okay? I admit it.
2. Six/seven year old girls are WAAAAY smarter than 11 year old girls. Seriously. Cuz 6-7 year old girls know exactly who they are. 11 year old girls are big spazzes filled with hormones that make them do stupid things even though they don't know what they're doing.
3. At my school, the choices were Mariah Carey/Amy Grant, Garth Brooks, or if you were my brother, Guns n' Roses. Now… at that particular age, I liked Guns n' Roses but was trying VERY hard not to be anything like my brother - who was widely known as the school "bad boy" because he had long hair and listened to heavy metal (ignoring the fact that he got into less trouble and drank way less than the jocks). I was smart enought to hate the first option, resentful enough to loathe the second option. Nobody else liked NKOTB because they were "a bunch of fags."
We didn't have MTV in our town until later. I actually just saw some article in some "teen" magazine about NKOTB and thought Donnie seemed cool. From whence the obsession grew. I frequently got into fights with people who teased me for liking "those faggots" because I thought it was stupid to dislike somebody just because they were gay. And I actually did think that at least Jordan was gay because… jeez.
So if you think about it, liking NKOTB was the most rebellious think I could've done at the time. I mean… I never knew anything better existed until I was actually exposed to it.
4. I actually only liked Donnie. So that's not so bad. I mean, after all, he was the "bad boy." So… I'm forgiven, right?
… Right?
::makes with the puppydog eyes::
As for the Kate Moss painting, I've got it haning on my bedroom wall across from the painting my mom did in high school titled "Eve of Destruction" (since that was the popular song that year) wich features a giant skeleton encircling the earth.

Does that mean my mommy & me are goths?
Hm. :-)
