Sorry if sucks I have like a 5 minute time constraint

Paige, Michael, and Matt: Thank you for all your contributions. Here's hoping you all go on to achieve everything you want to.

It's been something of a week, hasn't it? This is me trying to work things out with myself, but I might as well share it with all of you.

I've been listening nonstop to "Bleak Horizon." It helps.

Well if this really is it, I'd like to extend a 'big steamy' thank you to both Matt Smith and Michael Reed for being a major part of my life for the past year. Meeting them both in Everett was a dream come true, along with the selfies we took (especially the first one I got with Matt.) Having Michael ask for MY picture was a surprise, and I don't think I'll ever forget it. You two were the most memorable part of my first happy birthday trip ever, and it's sad to see you go, but I'm glad I got the chance to meet you (and grab your CD at the last second, Matt ;D)

So, Thank you. You certainly did find A Way Into My Heart.

[natasalways]

im still angry at myself because at youmacon last year before the spg concert michael phucking reed was out and about walking through the line and shaking peoples hands and thanking them for waiting in line and coming and whatever, and he stopped by the people literally right in front of me in line and i didnt even recognize him at that point

in hindsight, DAMMIT

From a fan

I don't understand how there can be someone or something so wonderful that it actually hurts. Just work with me on this. Having someone or something that makes you so happy and gives you a reason to smile and be happy can also be the same reason for being sad. I think of it like this. I love someone in the way that I idolize and look up to them. This person is absolutely perfect to me and I know so many people who agree. He makes me smile and he's so incredibly kind to everyone (He's also incredibly talented and very good looking). But it's not really all that great in the fact that as a single fan among thousands, I'll never be anyone but another face in the crowd. Sure he'll talk to me at a show and be very sweet and all that awesome stuff. But I don't think I'll ever make a lasting impression that will earn me a place in his heart. I want to be his friend so badly, but I know that I can't really be. If he just went out of his way becoming great friends with every single fan, he'd never have time to do anything for himself and he'd always be too busy. Or it'd get to the point where there are so many friends he just can't spend equal time with everyone and that would be unfair to so many. So I understand the reasons why I can't be a part of his life, but I'm still happy knowing that he can be a part of mine. And that doesn't just go for him, but for the whole band. Their music turned my life around so many times when I was feeling hopeless and lost. I will always love and support them with all of my heart. So here's to you Steam Powered Giraffe. Keep doing what you do. Make people happy and open their hearts. As a proud member of the fanmily, know that you will always have not only mine, but the love and support of all of us.  

With love, 

Just another fan
