Grobanitis is everywhere. Srsly.
My family had a long drive up to the mountains for a short vacation last week. My sisters and I were all listening to music on our mp3 players at one point, when my twenty-one-year-old sister suddenly turned to me and whispered ecstatically, "It's JOSH GROBAN."
I'm pretty sure I blanched and produced a very lame, nervous imitation of a smile.
It was right there, in my own family, all along. I don't know what to think.
Reminds me of an Auden quote:
"Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table."
- W. H. Auden
P.S. I've no idea how much internet access I will have between now (when I leave to visit my friends in the northeast) and the 26th (when I arrive at college). I expect I'll be able to keep up posting, if with less frequency, but my reading and commenting time will definitely be more limited than usual.
Are you implying that fans of Josh Groban are evil? ;-)

My answer would be "no comment," but considering this is the comments section...
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! I'm SO glad to see there are other non-Grobanites. I enjoy his music, yes, but a Grobanite I am not.
ReplyDeleteYAY! *high five*
ReplyDeleteI must be living in a different world, I didnt even know who Josh Gorban was. I had to do a google him... haha
ReplyDeleteMaybe Grobanitis isn't exactly *evil*...just a horrible disease that many people suffer from, but they choose to really enjoy it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI do not profess to be un-evil, but I find Grobanitis to be an entirely lovely (and not evil) disease. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, to be afflicted by such a voice as his...
*swoons*
Gasp, they're more non-Grobanites, out there? *Begins to feel that she isn't as alone in the world.*
ReplyDeleteWhile I respect his talent, I've never been able to get into Groban. Not my thing. Give me Weezer.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Grobanite, but I do think he's amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi Cuileann, I found your blog looking for people who like reading Christian fiction and fantasy. I do too. My blog is http://threeswans.blogspot.com if you feel like visiting. I was wondering if I could suggest one to try? "Outcasts Of Skagaray" is an action adventure fantasy, Christian inspired, which might appeal to readers who like LOTR and the novels of C.S.Lewis. For a free preview, there are sample chapters on www.threeswans.com.au Other reviews can be found on line. I would be thrilled if you read it and enjoyed it, but whatever happens, I wish you well. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteBahaha. The Grobanitis virus. I love it. ^_^
ReplyDeleteHave a great time on that visit and at school! :)
Ha. I love the quote. It fits the situation very well.
ReplyDeleteenc - Amen!
