I'm On The Up And Up

Sorry about my emotional breakdown yesterday. Haha
I'm fine now. Thanks to Relient K. Relient K almost ALWAYS makes me happy.
:D :D

you know, I first heard about Relient K when I was 9 I think back in 2002. My brother had The Anatomy Of The Tongue In Cheek. He came in my room one day and was like Christi!! listen to this song! It's hilarious! So I listened to it, and I thought it was awesome. It was Sadie Hawkins Dance. I listened to that song over and over and over again. I didn't buy any of their other CD's though, because I wasn't really into music back then. I only listened to 1 band really and that was MercyMe (haha). So eventually, my brother didn't like Relient K anymore, so he gave me the CD. I listened to it ALOT. Then finally in 2004 when I was 11, I started to get intrested in music, and I asked my grandma for Mmhmm for Christmas. I think it was the first CD I had ever asked for for Christmas or a Birthday, and I had only bought 5 other CD's in my lifetime and that was the Freaky Friday soundtrack, and all of Switchfoot's CD's up to The Beautiful Letdown. Anyway, I listened to mmhmm, and I thought it was awesome. I bought Apathetic in 2005 and that was probably when I considered Relient K to be my favorite band. Before then, my favorite band was Switchfoot but now they're my second favorite. I don't really think I was a hardcore fan of Relient K until last year because that's when I really got into the internet and that's the best way to learn about bands in my opinion. Hey, it's not my fault I was born in 1993 lol. On my 13th birthday, my friends bought me "Two Lefts Don't Make A Right...But Three Do". I was really excited about that. I didn't buy "Relient K" until this year, but it is Relient K's original goofiness and stuff that made me fall in love with them so I of course loved it. Even though I didn't really get into Relient K until a couple years ago, I think I'm as hardcore as anyone who's been a fan since the beginning. I may not have everything they've released (earlier EP's, Deck The Halls And Bruise Your Hand, The Vinyl Countdown etc.) but if you talk to me for more than 15 minutes, I'm sure Relient K will come up somehow. Anyone who knows me at all, knows that Relient K is my all time favorite band and I'm very passionate about my love for Relient K.

It's not an obsession, it's a way of life.

Wow, I didn't mean to go off and tell you the whole story of how I became the obsessed fan that I am today...but I guess I did haha
