boy band central

not one to go all single white female when boy bands come to town, as seems to be the reaction for most teenage girls in Australia as 'one direction' hits our shores..

they. are. everywhere. seriously.

i was on twitter last night and 'how's australia' was polling massively. i thought oooh this should be good, someone coming up with colloquial hilariously inappropriate things about australia, or you know, something stupid us aussies got up to but nooooo.... it was all the little crazy kids asking one direction how their flipping time in australia is going.. wowzers.

I'm not saying i dont get it, because i do.. I grew up in the hanson era, i actually remember a girl in grade 5 saying no to a boy's 'lets go out' proposal (which, in grade 5 only meant sitting next to each other in class, maybe a kiss on the cheek at lunch time) because she was.. wait for it... saving herself for Taylor. fact.

and this band is coming to australia soon, and my question is.. would it be weird for a bunch of 27 year olds to go and mmm bop along? I'm thinking it wouldnt be, because it would probably only attract the 27 year olds that loved them back in their prime..

It would be quite fun to go and relive our youth - crap i sound old -  or would it be slightly despressing?
Its like when you go back and watch your FAVOURITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME from when you were little and its either
A: boring as hell,
B: quite disturbing, eg the last unicorn.. that is CREEPY.) or
C: super annoying, eg the care bears.

So maybe, (for me personally) Hanson should just stay back in the memory bank of school and not be re-hashed.

Also just found out Flight of the Conchords are touring the same month, and well, its not a hard decision to where your cash should go, is it?
