Let me start off by saying that the boys of One Direction make me wish I was 17 again. Don’t get me wrong, I will forever love the men of NKOTBSB but there is just something special about the pure joy that a boyband brings a teenage girl. Hearing them on the radio or seeing their new video makes you happy in a way that you just can’t describe; you just know that you love them. My message to all of the Directioners (that’s right, they even have a nickname-how proud does that make us BHs?) is to enjoy absolutely every minute of it. You may think that no one understands your love for this band or these boys but trust me, we do. And we are here to tell you that those that don’t understand your love will never understand. The bond between a fangirl and her band is special; don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Remember when we were mini fangirls and all that we wanted in the world was to see our favourite guys in concert? The very thought of being in the same room as NKOTB or BSB was almost too much for us to handle. Things may be different for us now, but over the weekend a few of us discovered that absolutely nothing has changed for today’s mini fangirls. Some classics overheard before the boys of One Direction hit the stage: "I would just die if Zayn walked by me" and "You don’t understand how much I love Harry. Seriously, I love him." The 13 year old girls that we took to the show couldn’t believe that they were going to be breathing the same air as One Direction-sound familiar ladies?
The last time I was at a boyband concert surrounded by teenage girls, I was one of them and Nick Carter was telling me that he would never break my heart. I remember my mother telling me how loud the screaming was when she used to take me to shows, but I never believed her. Now I realize that it was because I was one of the people screaming-those One Direction fangirls definitely have some power in their lungs. But the screaming didn’t bother me at all; in fact I love every minute of it. It definitely brought me back to my time as a mini fangirl and I wouldn’t have wanted it to be any other way.
I will admit that I was really impressed with One Direction-they did a great job. The crowd obviously loved them and the boys seemed to enjoy every minute of it. Their five part harmonies definitely stole a piece of my fangirl heart-THESE BOYS CAN SING!
If this song isn’t a sign of them being the next big thing, then I don’t know what is. Summer 2011 flashbacks anyone?
So let’s welcome the One Direction fangirls to our world. One last piece of advice: Enjoy it, love it, and go to as many shows as possible. ;)

Our love for Whosarmy turns into a geography lesson…
The fangirls’ decision to go Whosarmy’s show this past weekend started with a conversation like this:
Fangirl 1: "They have a show at the end of January!"
Fangirl 2: "I saw that! Where is Cannington?"
Fangirl 3: "I don’t know, but I already bought all of us tickets."
So after a trip to Starbucks and a leap of faith in our GPS, the fangirls made it to Cannington. "Maggie’s Alright" is one of our favourites so we were very excited when they started with that one. Check out this video to see just how awesome they were on this song.
They also sang a few songs from Cover Me Canada, including the fangirl favourite "Lonely Boy". Just ask the guys how great we sounded singing along to "Alive". "We were an earthquaaaake, we made the world shaaaake…" Their encore was a cover of U2 and it sounded incredible. With all due respect to U2 and the amazing band that they are, the fangirls would take Travis over Bono any day.
The highlight of the night was definitely the new songs. The guys had said they were going to play new songs and we were very excited to hear them. There is nothing better than hearing a song being played live for the first time. If it is even possible, the fangirls are now even more excited for the new album. Bring it on guys!
The fangirls had a great time and the band was amazing, so the road trip was a successful one. I didn’t even mention yet that the show was sold out-how amazing is that? So a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Whosarmy!
If you missed this show, don't worry, they have another show on February 18. That's right, the day after JK, his falsetto, and his V-neck t-shirts are in TO. It seems kind of fitting that these shows would be so close together; it was JK and Cover Me Canada that brought us to Whosarmy. We will let you know how the back-to-back shows go…wish us luck.

THE song of 2011.

Those people that don't understand, never will...
The perfect definition:
Our day to day lives:
Our logic:
Why we don't care what other people say:
One of our biggest fears:
What makes us happy:
What concerts do to us:
Why we are fangirls:
**Special thanks to our girl Krysten for all the pictures. ♥

In case you missed it…how the fangirls became members of The Troops.
This is the performance that started it all.
Our fangirl instincts were right…
This is just hot. "Come on down to my place baby, We'll talk about love..."
It is about this point that the fangirls started to fall in love.
This is when we knew we were in love. No doubt about it.
I guarantee you watch this more than once-you know that the fangirls have. Some of us may have also made it our ringtone (and as a result, missed a call or two).
IMMUNITY! Not that they needed it with this performance.
Just listen...
...how awesome are they?
*Fangirls down*
If you haven’t seen this yet, you need to. Seriously, watch it now.
Are you in love yet?
Why am I even asking? Of course you are. ♥

If only our lives were like a music video…
The ballad that was written only for you.
The song that still makes you weak in the knees.
The one that makes you want to dance.
The song that made you feel 15 again.
THE song.The one that makes you proud to be a fan.The one that you love to hear in concert. The one that completes your fangirl life.

(A)live for the very first time…since winning Cover Me Canada.
This past Friday, the fangirls pushed the limits of personal space/need for sleep/number of outlets for flat irons and asked the question how many fangirls can you fit into one hotel room?
When we found out that Whosarmy was doing a show in TO, we responded in typical fangirl style-not “are we going?” but “where do we get tickets?” There was never a doubt that we were going. The girls had decided that we were going to use this opportunity to celebrate a little because we hadn’t had a chance to really do that since Cover Me Canada ended (which was a Sunday so it couldn’t be done properly anyway). Our celebrations started around 7 and let’s just say that fangirls+alcohol+twitter =trouble. Lucky for us, the guys from Whosarmy are easy going and not easily offended. (Note: we re-read our tweets later and they really weren’t that bad-so proud of us ladies). 
What happened between the hotel and getting to the show was quite the adventure: it included a possibly sprained ankle, actually getting asked for ID and not being able to find it, spilled drinks and subsequent drying under the hand dryer. What better way to celebrate at dinner than with a shot…or 2…or 3. Now that I think about it, this may have been the reason that the waiter got a slightly larger than average tip...
Eventually though, we made it to the El Mocambo and we were so excited to see Whosarmy. We have obviously seen them week after week on Cover Me Canada, but now they were actually doing a whole set. We loved them on the show doing covers for 90 seconds, but this was a real set of their originals and we couldn’t wait. They started with "Maggie’s Alright" and "Automatic Baby", which are favourites among the fangirls, and we absolutely loved it. The guys had been hinting all week on twitter that they would be playing one of their CMC songs but we didn’t know which one. So somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody please ask me how much we loved that it was "Lonely Boy". Could not love their version any more, it is just amazing. "No Mystery" and "Revolution Girl" were also great (seriously, if you do not have their album yet, you need to get it ASAP). Their last song of the night was their new single “Alive” and they just rocked it. 
Not only is the song great, but you can tell that the guys are really proud of it and love playing it. Their set was amazing and the fangirls were definitely singing along the whole time.
(By the way, "Alive" is available on iTunes now ;) http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/alive-cover-me-canada-performance/id480317419 …you really need to get this song. Trust me.)
I know that it has been said before, but these guys are more than just great musicians. It means a lot when a band truly respects and appreciates their fans. They really are genuine and we love them so much for it. We can’t wait to see the music video for “Alive”, hear the new songs, and hopefully see them again soon.
To the guys of Whosarmy: your dedication and hard work is admirable and just know that you have the love and respect of the fans. We will always be there to support you and the fangirls wish you nothing but the best with everything. ♥
