I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...

I don't even know where to begin. These boys are so amazing. I've watched them grow so much, like most others here probably have. I've listened to them for over a year now, and I don't know how I made it through the day before them. Most people I know don't understand why I love them as much as I do, and sometimes I wish I didn't love them so much. Not because of people making fun of me for it, which they do, quite often, but because everytime I hear them on the radio, or see one of their videos on tv, I get such mixed emotions. I'm so unbelievably happy for them, don't get me wrong, but part of me misses the days when you could have conversations with them at shows, and you weren't rushed by security or thrown out of the way by some teeny bopper who wants an autograph. My best friend, who shares my obsession, and I talk all the time about how much we want our St. Patty's Day show back; but that's mostly for selfish reasons. They deserve every bit of attention they're getting/have gotten. But back to the point of all my rambling.. All four of the boys are amazing, and I love them because they have given me so much. They've made some of the best music I've ever heard in my life; made me realize that just because you're "famous" doesn't mean you're any different than anyone else out there; brought me closer to my friends; I've met a few of my best friends through them, and I thank them for that countless times everyday; and given me quite a few of the best laughs & memories I've ever had.
