Seconds, hours, so many days. One heartbeat lost in the crowd.
Sometimes we just have to accept the fact that some people stay in our hearts forever, even if we aren't in theirs.

I'm a backseat driver, a drama provider. I'm a first-class liar, a constant forgetter. Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today.
It's been so long since I last updated my blog. Mainly cause I found nothing to talk about. I mean, nothing can top the days I spent with The Wanted. So I've decided to write this blog post commemorating RED NOSE DAY, which was yesterday!
First of all, what kind of post for Comic Relief would it be if I did not post up the official single of 2011 for it?
There are many things I noticed in that video, which I shall list out here because I have nothing better to do, and I love rewatching this video over and over since it makes me undeniably happy :)
Tom and Nathan got a haircut!
Nathan's really awesome and sexy jacket

That's what I noticed so far, maybe there are many other things that have gone unnoticed. And as tribute to one of the best bands in the world, I did a cover for Gold Forever too a while ago :)
And of course, the boys performed on Comic Relief too :)
I actually cried watching this because I remembered the fact that just before they went on stage to perform this, they had a Ustream session with the fans. We saw Jay and Siva change, Max change his pants, Siva and Tom playing the guitar, Tom singing Iris and Nathan asking if he should have his fringe up or down. And from the above video, he obviously went with an "up" hairdo.
So you're probably wondering why I cried at the fact that they had a Ustream session.
It's because, I feel so attached. Before they went on stage, they had a chat with their fans, asked how they were doing, asked for opinions on what to wear, what to do. How the hell am I supposed to NOT feel attached to this band? They care. They actually genuinely do give 2 flying fucks about their fans. It feels like I was there with them when they were getting ready to perform, but instead, there was a computer screen between us.
And then it all came rushing back. How they treated their fans when we met them. How nice they were, how gentle and funny they were. How they made us laugh, cracked jokes. How Siva carried me and every small detail of what happened when they were here just came rushing back. Laser tag, showcase, hotel, airport. EVERYTHING.
Apart from that, there was also the fact that just a year ago, these boys were nobodies trying to make the best out of their lives. And now, look at where they are now? Supporting act for Justin Bieber along with Willow Smith, releasing the official single for Comic Relief 2011, and an upcoming tour. And that's not all! There's so much stuff going on, I don't even know where to start. I seriously feel like a proud momma watching these boys grow. They're all the way in the UK, and I'm here in Asia, but the internet is truly a wonderful thing. It's the only form of communication I'll ever have with the boys, UNTIL they come back. Which *fingers crossed* will happen again someday :)
Comic Relief is HUGE, and I'm just so happy for the boys that they managed to get involved in something like this. My heart goes out to you, seriously. I love you boys so much, I can't even start to explain it.
And so yeah, watching that one video gave me all these thoughts, thats why I started crying. Who would've thought that one band can have such a great impact on me. Never knew it was possible, until The Wanted.
Oh, and then I've found some people talking about how Gold Forever isn't a good song yadayada.
Well, here's the deal. The song was sung with good intentions, to raise money for people, and help the unfortunate. Even if you think that it isn't a good song, don't be a dick and download it to donate to charity, will you? Don't sit around and start complaining. How the hell can you judge a song that was made for a good cause, you retarded fucks? Well god bless you, and I hope YOU did something funny for money :)
But on a lighter note, here are the boys on Autumnwatch, being merciless mammals biting Olly Murs!
Since this is about Red Nose Day, I'd also like to share one of the many Comic Relief sketches that I found really hilarious! Guest-starring JLS!
And of course, what kind of blog post would this be if I had not added in The Wanted's latest cover? They performed this at Live Lounge, presenting Animals by Neon Trees!
So yeah, I hope everyone had a good Red Nose Day! :D
Oh wait! Do any of you happen to remember Augmented Reality?
