because you're crazy beautiful.
you know what i love about this damn journal? all the fucking hanson love. i read my friend's page, and every entry that i've read the past couple of days has had comments like, "my cd player has been loaded with hanson, and i'm loving it." and, "god damnit, this cd is so good. it's so refreshing to have new hanson." and hanson, hanson, hanson.
i don't think many people understand my utter obsession with this band. since day one, the damn mmmbop. these boys are a part of people's lives. they are mysterious, lovely, talented, anxious, wonderful real people. i know i can say that hanson has changed my life, but it's all meaningless meandering bullshit. how many lives has hanson changed? a lot. they hear it constantly, especially coming from fans like me and tahnie and katie and sadie and lindsay and jill and aileen and everyone, everyone, everyone. i'm not stereotyping or belittling anyone's experience. i'm simply stating what i'm thinking.
this is what i know:
this band taught me how to use a fucking vcr. this band taught me the meaning of obsession. this band taught me a lot of things about life that i could list until i'm blue in the face. but that's not the reason i keep buying their albums.
i keep buying the albums because hanson has been one of the only music groups that can have me bursting at the seams with sheer joy and happiness. another thing i've noticed with everyone's entries is this: they're all silly happy. they're giggly and fun. they are, essentially, the reason we all like these boys: they make us feel good. they do it just by making their music and putting it out there for us to fiend for and eat up like candy. and for me to listen to underneath and put it on track 6 with the windows down and the volume firmly set on 47; for me drive down elm street and 27th avenue feeling nothing but pure love for a band that put out a song named "mmmbop" no less than 7 years ago; for me to realize that the reason i'm listening to them now is still the same as the reason i got into this whole hanson business in the first place, is remarkable and magical.
and, plus. isaac's still a bachelor. who knows?
