Okay. A few things that I will state quickly for you to process:
1. Lance was my favorite *NSYNCer back in the *NSYNC heyday
2. Um when I was in high school I wrote a story (or for those in the know... a FANFIC) about Lance being closeted and being afraid to come out because it would hurt the group. Except in the story, he fell in love with JC and they had a secret affair and it led to Jive Records blackmailing them, hence explaining their real-life sudden switch from RCA to Jive.
3. Please don't tell anyone about #2.

You know where I'll be at 11:00pm tonight!!
