When I was 10, the Spice Girls were the biggest things in my life. School wasn't as important to me as it was as dressing up as Baby Spice while my neighbour dressed up as Ginger, afterwhich we'd get together, play the cd's over and over again on the stereo (she had the first cd, I had the second) and make up dance moves together, which we would later show our parents.
I cried for hours when I came back from a guide camp to find out they'd split up. I was devastated.
So naturally, when I find out they're reforming and doing a world tour, I get very excited. I get even MORE excited finding out that I'll be in New York and Toronto around the time the concerts are on, and so I go forth and check what the dates are.
And here is where heartbreak set in.
I am in Canada until at least December 21. The Spice Girls show in New York is on December 11th. I more than likely will not be able to go.
I will be in New York and the surrounding areas when the as yet undated performance will be showing in Toronto, and it will be unlikely that I'll be able to make it there.
However. They will be in Sydney on the 17th of January, which is THE EXACT DAY, I will be arriving home. I am SERIOUSLY thinking of buying tickets to this, and delaying my trip back to Brisbane another day so that I can fulfill my childhood ambition to see them.
This isn't a crazy plan is it? Because it's completely viable for me at the moment.
Edit: I have registered for tickets. Now it is up to the fates to decide whether or not I can go.
Edit the second: Have told mother of my plans. She approves.
