Okay, I guess I’ll come to terms with it. I just have to accept it now, with a deep breath. That’s right, I’ve caught it…ONE DIRECTION INFECTION!!! Unfortunately, I seem to have become just as obsessed with the Pop culture boy band as every single pre-pubescent girl across the world. It started with lifting weights to the catchy lyrics “You’re insecure, don’t know what for” and has morphed into the brain food for fanfictions and daydreams galore. How could this have happened to me?! Me, the crazy alt-girl with artificial holes in her face and the scary black line of makeup around her eyes! I just don’t understand it! Is it the catchy beat? Maybe the sappy lyrics? Possibly the fun personalities of the five boys? At least, the personalities they show on interviews and whatnot.

Honestly, their lyrics have no depth or meaning. They’re cliche love songs, like “If everytime we touch, you get this kind of rush” and “do they hold each other tight, like us?” But somehow, they seem to have me captivated. I don’t know…all I know is that I’m a closet Directioner, and though I would never pay the $250-400 that it takes to see them live, I’m a pretty huge fan.
