PGP: Spoiling Ourselves Until June/July

[Thora]

Thora, that's sooo cool!!!!!! I love it!

Aww, thank you!!

So Thora and Cori are safe to keep on fb? And Amy and Kristen aren't? Is that right? I hate blocking ppl, mainly b/c I don't know how to UN-block!

Yup, I'm safe. No U2 anything being posted on my end. It's very easy to unblock people. You can ask again if you forget, but basically in your news feed, you scroll down to the very bottom and click on "Edit Options." You can re-instate anyone you've hidden from there. Easy peasy!

I've never blocked someone, so I don't know how to un-block. I just know how to hide and un-hide!

But yes, you're safe with me, at least until Seattle. After that, I will probably talk about the show.

I mean, I may talk about U2 in general between now and then, but it won't be anything regarding the current shows.

I won't be offended if you go ahead and just hide me.

 

[ryancoke71]

I am safe until May 29th, I don't setlist spoil, never have so I am not quite sure why I am on the block/ hide list. I will probably be freaking out and posting after the show. You may miss epic photos and videos though.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Yeah, I meant "hide". SEE! Don't be offended, Amy! I tried to be spoiler free before and now I'm gonna be disappointed if they don't play some of the awesome songs I heard they played in South America. So I'm bound and determined to not know what they play in Mexico/Denver/SLC/Seattle and any other show before Oakland. Don't know why I care. But I figured if Cori and Thora and Ethan can do it, maybe I can stay strong this time!

Yeah, it's just hiding people. I haven't blocked anyone either.

I just don't want to see anything U2 related, no matter what it is. I'll definitely look at people's pictures and videos, etc. once my Seattle show is over. It's nothing personal - I'm just hiding all my U2 friends who have shows before me. I'll put everyone back to visible after Seattle.

 

[ryancoke71]

I can understand blocking me the day of my show, but not 3 weeks in advance. If you look back, I rarely if ever post anything other than my countdown. I don't know why it offends me!

 

[corianderstem]

I just figure what if something really super extra uber amazing happens at a show, and everyone wants to talk about it?

I don't want anyone to feel like they CAN'T talk about it because they know some people are trying to avoid spoilers. It's my responsibility (such a big word for something so trivial! ), and no one else should have to really do any work to try and help me avoid spoilers.

Of course, people use spoiler tags in many threads on this site, which is a nice courtesy. And if I do get accidentally spoiled, it'll be from this place, but then it's my own damned fault.

In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have said anything on FB, and just hidden people, and no one would have been the wiser. But I wanted to make sure people knew I was trying to go spoiler free, because I'd hate to make someone feel bad because they sent me a message telling me how awesome it was that they played x song last night or something.

I'm sorry if I pissed you off by hiding you, Amy (and anyone else), but please know it's not personal, I'm just trying to do what I can because I seem to be incapable of going offline completely (which is pretty damned sad ). And at least you know WHY I'm hiding people, and not have to think "oh what, do you just think I'm annoying or something?"

And that's what June 4th is for - going back and devouring EVERYTHING on Facebook and this site about all the shows I've missed.

 

[Thora]

I'm sorry if I hurt you, Amy - it really wasn't my intention at all.

ETA, and I'll say ditto to everything that cori said, as she expressed it much better.

 

[ryancoke71]

No not hurt, I just take things way too personally.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Oh, I'm not doing it yet. And as long as you don't post setlists before the show, it's all good. I'll just have to remember to avoid fb the day of (and prob a couple days after) the Winnepeg show.

The reason for blocking others early (this weekend) is to avoid hearing about he Mexico show and then wishing they'd play X Y and Z b/c they plaed it there.

It's all good

Never thought of it that way!

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, I hid everybody U2-related on FB. I figured I'd cover my bases. So just think about what good company you're in!

Of course, now my Facebook news feed is really effing boring.

 

[Thora]

I know! Serves me damn right.


So tonight I made a loaf of French Bread, and just had a slice. Oh good lord I love bread WAY too much!!

 

[zuropa_fit]

Yeah, it's just hiding people. I haven't blocked anyone either.

I read this as "I don't want to think about anything U2 related" and I was thinking "WOW. I think about U2 about 37 times a day. How's she gonna do that?!"

French Bread

I had a Skinny Cow mint ice cream sandwich for dessert (Mr.Z's mother's day treat for me).

Am I strange here, because I rarely think about them?


Ooh, ice cream sandwiches! I can't eat them any more, but I do remember them being delicious.

 

[zuropa_fit]

No, I'm probably the weirdo. Or I just prefer to think about U2 over my annoying 1st period class!
Are you lactose intolerant? Ice cream doesn't usually sit well with me, but I eat it anyway - it's so good!

eta: off to shower and bed. Have a good night y'all

 

[corianderstem]

I think about U2 an embarrassing number of times throughout the day.

It doesn't help that I have pictures and/or calendars and/or posters and/or computer backgrounds of U2 all over the place.

Yup, I'm intolerant of lactose.

G'night!


I go through periods of thinking about them more, but most of the time it's very little. Right now it's pretty much non-existent, but that's probably because I'm so swamped at work, and hockey pretty much rules my evenings.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Guys suck.


I just wanted to get that out there.

 

[bonocomet]

yeshplz.
Bono looks fan-friggin'-tastic in that pic!

I got a bigger one

I know what you mean And I might think about certain members of u2 more times than others too.

thora your site looks AWESOME! OMG the pics look great and made me really hungry Congratulations

 

[Galeongirl]

I made chicken enchiladas tonight (and strawberry margaritas) and they came out soo good. I haven't cooked in like forever so it was an adventure for me. But I succeeded.

Now I'm stuffed. But at least I walked on my new treadmill today. I'm so happy I finally invested in it. it's awesome, and I love it. It also has speakers and a port for my ipod so that was a bonus. I blasted Achtung Baby for my walk today.

Hope everyone is doing great here.

guh.. food. God that looks GOOD!



OMG have you guys SEEN the latest rehearsal news???

 

[Galeongirl]

Edge chest

Oy vey, someone's lookin' pretty for his bday!

I will be safe until the 20th... once I land in Denver there's no guarantees

 

[Drea]

On a brighter note, I'm pretty sure there's a guy selling a TO GA in the What do you want/What do you have forum if you're still looking for it...

 

[Thora]

Bri, I don't know if you'll see this, but here's a hug for you. I'm sorry that boys are being stupid.

thora your site looks AWESOME! OMG the pics look great and made me really hungry Congratulations

Thank you!! I've worked very hard on it. Hee hee, that sounds so dirrty. I think I'm going to write about bread next, and share a few recipes. But that won't be until next week sometime - I'm going to give people more time to discover the place. I got 15 "likes" on FB in a matter of hours, so that's awesome. 10 more until I can get a better URL for it!


Those are fabulous pictures. DAMN.

 

[ryancoke71]

Zooey, you are not weird at all. I think about them ALL of the time. However, I have stopped listening to them, so that it will be a bit sweeter when I see my favourite songs live.

 

[corianderstem]

I haven't stopped listening altogether, but I've made a point to avoid anything 360-related, so the songs will be at least a little fresher for me.

OMG have you guys SEEN the latest rehearsal news???

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, temptations ....... must not make "it's just rehearsal, not a setlist" excuse.

Must not.

Must not.

 

[Thora]

Stay strong, cori!
