I just went on a little roadtrip this weekend with one of my new concert buddies here in Nor Cal. Passing time, I told him all my V stories from back in the day. The best one that still brings a tear to my eye is my ATL "Pretty Baby" story... Ahh the memories, hoping to make more soon.

So crazy that most of us are all still really close!!

I still lurk around. I am finally working in higher education doing academic advising, which is what I've been working towards for the greater part of my time all of you have known me. Being a post whore is hard when you don't work retail and can't stay up until 4am O_o.

I keep up with a lot of the OG peeps on facebook/twitter. I was listening to V the other day and realized how much I missed the music and good times that were had. It makes me feel super old to see people like Holly and Gina all grown up now as my initial memory of them is as impressionable teenagers, even though I am only 3-4 years older than them!

I always think about all of the good times which were had and am thankful for all of the awesome people who are still in my life to this day. I saw Kevin (BV) in June when I was out in Seattle. Katia and I always concert call each other for Brandi Carlile shows. We should all totally get together again if V does a real show sometime.

B-man, I'm disappointed in you! haha

Yeah it is amazing that some people still stay in contact with each other.  I do miss the old days.  There were a lot of great people I have gotten to know personally and that is what made those long travels worth it.  I miss it!

Glad to hear you got that.  Did you switch from retail right to being an advisor? If so that must have been a hell of a change.

Pretty much, Tylor. My education prepared me for it though. I also did career counseling for 21 months and worked in Financial Aid for 8.

If I'm not mistaken, financial aid is particular from institution to institution depending on what kind of financial aid you are talking about.

If I'm not mistaken, financial aid is particular from institution to institution depending on what kind of financial aid you are talking about.

Some things are set in stone such as how much Pell Grant funding you can receive and how much loan eligibility you have based on your EFC on your FAFSA, your credit load (full time, 3/4ths time, etc.), and number of credits completed, but additional funding such as institutional loans, grants, or work-study opportunities differ from school to school.

i haven't stayed friends with anyone unless you count daniel (highwaycruiser, remember him? lol). he's on my facebook & we chat every now & then when something backstreet or paula comes up. kept in touch with lani for a while too when it came to backstreet stuff, then we just kinda lost touch.

i think part of the reason i drifted from V's music is cuz i never connected with too many of her fans or her either (she's not as into the fans as some other celebs i really like & i couldn't relate to her at all besides the piano thing). i do miss the old times tho, when it was calm lol.

[ILoveHanson]
