For crying out loud, it's Bieber day.

Remember how last year I discovered a love for the Biebs?
I feel it's time I share this story.

I feel like I keep up with the latest celebrity gossip. First to know about movies that won't come out for three years, or songs that are soon to be mainstream. It's a nerdy hobby of mine. One day, I was you tubing it up. And I see a video of Justin Bieber. My initial thoughts were, 'What a poser.' I'll admit, I was not a fan.

I can tell you that I enjoyed drawing mustaches and unibrows on his face in all of my magazines. I hated him, because everyone else loved him. Not a good reason, I know. I was completely unaware of how talented this kid was.

Well, then his song, Baby came out. I remember sitting on the computer listening to the song, and watching the music video, glaring. I wanted to hate it. But I loved it. I would secretly listen to it, and exit out of the page when my brother walked by. Out of fear that he would make fun of me.

Eventually, I came out as a true Belieber. It's fine.

It all started with this video.

Thats when I decided, that this was the man I was meant to marry.
I bought tickets to the premiere of his movie, and felt so out of place. I felt embarrassed and silly for being at a Justin Bieber movie. A million times I would be asked, "Do you even like Justin Bieber?" or "But you hate him...?"

Yeah well, lets just say, a year ago today, I stood up and bawled my head off along with the 42 seventh graders around me.

And a year later, it's still the same.
LOVE YOU JB.
