August 15th is always a good day.
This year I'll be seeing Adam Lambert and Kris motherfucking Allen. Last year I came home from New York City, slept for a few hours and then headed out to the Jonas Brothers concert and four years ago the most important thing to ever happen in my fandom life happened. Durch den Monsun was released in Germany. At the time I didn't know how they were but two years after the fact, in November of 2007, I found love(:
I can't begin to explain how much Tokio Hotel means to me and all that they have done for me in the year and a half that I've been a fan of theirs. I've been to NYC for the first time ever, to be on live fucking television with the band that I will forever adore. I've been to Toronto for the hundredth time to stand in minus 0 degree weather for over two hours to stand outside only to go in and sweat my ass off. I've cried a hundred times, I've laughed and giggled my ass of with friends that I met online through being a fan. I've screamed my ass off when the first German band ever (that I care about) won a VMA for Best New Artist, I cried my eyes out that day and I have never, ever, ever been more proud of everyone in this fandom for voting their asses off like I did. I've found music that can make me smile when nothing else can. I've found people who I will cherish for the rest of my life, best friends and even love. I've found beauty isn't just skin deep and that no one can resist Bill Kaulitz's smile. I've found myself, just a little bit of myself, in this band from Germany that has changed my life forfuckingever. (:
I love them. I love Bill and Tom and Georg and Gustav and I love all you guys who I have met through these four beautiful, talented boys <3. So thank you, Tokio Hotel. I owe you four more than I can ever give you <3.
and now, remembering all this, is making me cry.
