About Me
I’m Brittney. I am a 23-year-old girl from a small town in Indiana. As of right now, I have no real direction in life. I float through life feeling either bitter and angry or sarcastic and silly. The only things that keep me waking up each morning are my family, friends, music, and writing.
As much as my family drives me up the wall and are completely clueless about what makes me tick, I love them nonetheless. There are days when I just want to snap at all of them and tell them to go away, but at the end of the day, I know I can count on them despite it all.
My friends are my world. Without them I wouldn’t even bother to get out of bed each day. I have many trust issues, so it takes a great deal for me to share myself with other people when there’s a chance they may not understand me or what I’m about. Luckily, I’ve found a select few who have been able to see past my cynical, sarcastic appearance and see the real me, the real Brittney who is hiding just below the surface, feeling insecure and shy and begging for acceptance. They keep me going because they understand me – or at least try to – and still love me, flaws and all.
Music is my lifeline. I can’t go a day without it. I can spend hours just listening to music, taking in the sound, analyzing the lyrics and letting them speak to me. Music is one of the few things that can really evoke a great deal of emotion in me. It’s not as if I’m a cold and emotionless all of the time, but a song can bring tears to my eyes or put a smile on my face, a real smile – one that starts at my heart and fully reaches my eyes and leaves me feeling happy and content within seconds. I love all kinds of music. I’m a junkie, really. I’m always looking for something new, something different. My short list of favorites includes Hanson, Averi, Eisley, and Tegan and Sara – and that’s really narrowing it down.
My other lifeline is writing. I have words and ideas swirling around in my head all the time, begging to get out. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by it all. If only there were more hours in the day for me to sit down and get all of these ideas out of my head and onto paper, but that’s impossible. Even with more hours in the day, I’d only end up driving myself crazy because the ideas just keep multiplying. But writing keeps me sane. When I’m writing, I feel a million miles away from everything else. I’m in my own world, and nothing else matters. Words that are dancing around on the tip of my tongue but I don’t dare say aloud myself can be poured onto paper, written as if those thoughts only belong to character in a story. Somehow through writing my muddled, confused thoughts make sense. They’re somehow more tangible and understandable, and better yet, they even make sense to others.
So ask me again who am I? I’m not sure I can ever really fully explain it, but in short I’m a girl who is devoted to her friends and family and lives for music and writing. Short and simple but oh so true.
Hanson History
I’ve been a Hanson fan since 1997. I was 13-years-old and the first time I heard anything about them was while I was talking to my friend, Sherry, on the phone. I was flipping through the radio stations, and she told me to turn it back because mmmbop was on. I had no idea what a mmmbop was but I liked the song. The next time I heard Hanson was on MTV when the video for mmmbop was on. Honestly, I thought Taylor was a girl the first time I saw him, but I did like the song and I was intrigued.
My younger sister actually got Middle of Nowhere before I did, and I was jealous. With five years between us in age, sharing was not an option either, so I eventually got my own cd, but I’d “borrowed” my sister’s copy plenty of times in the meantime. I think I had all of the words memorized within a week, and the next time I was at my grandparents’ house, I decided to look them up on the internet, and from there I guess you could say I was obsessed. I wanted to know everything there was to know about them.
Then I stumbled across a story written about them, and my curiosity was piqued. I stayed up practically all night reading fan fiction stories because once I found the first one, I stumbled upon a whole slew of others. They weren’t anything particularly ground breaking, but in my 13-year-old mind, I thought it was great. I don’t think it took me but a few days to pick up a pen and start writing my own stories. I’d always had an interest in writing, but Hanson, or Hanson fan fiction I guess I should say, really jump started my creativity, and I’ve been writing ever since.
