I'm a member of the Inner Machine on the official Goo Goo Dolls website. It's a paid membership blah blah blah. Every month, one of the guys answer the questions fans send in via a video-blog thing.

I just got to know that Mike answered mine.

OH. MY. GOD.

I am literally euphoric. I started crying and screamed really high-pitched and ran around our house and grinned and did I mention that I cried? I'm really scared now, considering the possibility of me ever seeing them live. I'd probably pass out.

ANYWAYS. MY GOD YOU GUYS I GOT THROUGH! :D

Like like, that was my first question ever. I just joined in January and wow. This has just totally made my week, if not month.

Mike says:
"Question from lionhill:

'Who's the worst loser among you? PS Please come to Norway when the new record is finished. We don't like being overlooked.'

Worst loser among you, I don't know *laughs* Like literally who loses the most stuff? Probably John, I'd guess. Eh. I don't think he loses much stuff anymore though, I think he did .. a while ago.
Anyway, uhhh. I wanna come to Norway. I've actually never been to Norway and since you're Norwegian, most likely, I sense you live there, there's a guy named Morten Abel who I love. Somebody, when we played in Sweden, gave me this record by this guy named Morten Abel and .. it's awesome. So he's a great Norwegian artist. So hopefully I'll come to Norway and I'll see that guy play."


Aaaw, he misinterpreted my question. I meant worst loser as worst loser in games xD Oh well, I'm satisfied anyway.

I totally even made a shitty icon, go figure.
