Staff

Here at Route 55 we're always in need of more staff, so if you can help out, please do! You could help to update the news, find pics for the gallery, dig out quotes and trivia, transcribe interviews, tab music or anything else you can think of XD. If you're interested, drop an email to . So far we're all Joel-obsessed girls but you don't have to be one, we need others to balance it out too :P XD.

Current Staff

(As I'm still waiting on bios from Shana and Mandi, those are just short ones written by me for now. The staff are basically listed in order of when they joined.)

is the 15-year-old crazy penguin-obsessed webmaster and forum admin, with more websites than she can handle. For some reason she's writing this bio in the third person, proof of her craziness XD. With a penchant for saying "XD" and an obsession with GC's lead singer Joel Madden, JA works on this site purely because she can. She first heard GC on a TV ad for The Young and the Hopeless (the album, not the single. JA <3s the single) when she was 13 and didn't think much of them, but became obsessed with them when she started listening to commercial radio for the first time (just after she turned 14) and heard Girls and Boys. JA spends most of her time poking people, competing with Shana and Mandi to work out who's more obsessed with Joel, working on all the various RyuX Network websites and modding at the Pokémon Community. She is also probably the only R55 staff member, ever, whose parents won't let her go see bands live. That includes GC. *pokes*

Hannah was R55's first staff member and quit in January 2005 after she stopped liking GC.

Shana is a 13-year-old Joel freak from the UK who already has a boyfriend. She was roped into staffing the site from PC.

Mandi is the oldest R55 staffer, and the only one who's legally an adult - as a result, she's probably more likely to marry Joel than the rest of us, which really pisses us off. When JA told Mandi she liked Joel more, Mandi immediately declared JA her worst enemy, which was kinda funny, but she soon got over it, decided to make a new start and joined the R55 staff. XD While the site was down.
