Letter 23 - The person who gave me my favourite memory

This goes back an age... It must have been 2002 when i first saw the video for 'Five colours in her hair' and completley fell in love with McFly... The obsession grew and grew to the extent that i had 670 posters, 2 duvets, pillows, tshirts, socks, drum sticks, mugs, bags, magazines, pens, 3 copies of every single, the album X 2, manuals, badges, calendars, EVERYTHING McFly themed and i kept it completley secret because i thought people would call me a freak.
Then it was announced - Their first tour. 20th September 2002, let me tell you i actually died when i found out they were going to be at Glasgow SECC.
So yeah - i told you and others that i really wanted to go but was unsurprised when noone else wanted to go with me... but you shared my secret obsession... ;)
So yeah, we got the tickets and got ready... i remember Debbie made us those tshirts and mine had 'Dougie' painted right across the front of it.
We listened to room on the third floor from the house to the SECC and i was so fucking jealous of the cars that were infront of us because i wanted to be the first to enter the madness ;)
Then when we were in the lift on the way to our seats i uncontrollably burst into tears of excitement and nearly died when the girls in there told us they liked out tshirts. Ah, dear me.
Then we got seated... There was a group of pretty girls standing next to us with 'Dougie' banners and i was so jealous i wanted to vomit.
Then the madness began, the curtain moved before the gig even started and i got so fucking excited i passed out. What the hell man?! ahahahah!
I can remember screaming untill i lost my voice, crying untill my face was the size of a balloon and then finally scarring myself mentally with the image of dougie sitting by himself on those stairs singing 'Not alone'
After that night i was not atall myself for months on end, i came to school everyday depressed with my little band badges on and ahahaha (i cant stop laughing/im on the verge of tears writing this) untill the next tour and the madness began all over again and pretty much lasted for 5 years.
Dear me.
I love you so so much. I wish you were still here to share my crazy obsessions :(
