I am so guilty. Prepare for a long post.
I haven't been loyal to my first love, I haven't been paying attention to him in God knows how long already. And I'm missing him right now, and listening to him right now, and reading about him right now..
Oh the thrills of being in love again.
EMINEM. Har-di-har-har. =)
I've been in love with Eminem for as looong as I can remember. Grade 5 to be exact, ever since I saw "The Real Slim Shady" on MTV. Please stand up, please stand up he said. Ever since them I became madly in love with him, my friends would call me Eminem freak. I listened to all his songs, memorized most of his rhymes, read all his articles, made cut-outs and made a scrapbook out of it. Whenever he would be cover of a magazine I would buy that magazine and drool over it. I knew and still know his life story, from the moment he was born until..yeah. There was this show on MTV before called MTV Biography? I'm not sure what the exact title is, coz it's old and they don't show it anymore. They tell the story of an artist's life, and fortunately that time it was Eminem's I was soo damn freaking happy.
I don't generally categorize myself as a fanatic, coz I get bored easily when it comes to celebrities, constantly changing favorites but with EMINEM it was an exception. I was deeply intoxicatingly in love. Hehehe, I got all his CD's, memorize most of his songs, knew his collaborations, have his remixes. I had GAZILLIONS of posters of him in my room in Jakarta (I don't know where they are now..hikz =( I think my Mom junked them when I left.)
And the thing I was most thankful is that I bought NONE of my Eminem albums. My friends knew how crazy I was about him, so they gave me his CDs as gifts. I even have a life-size Eminem poster which my friend bought from England and gave it to me as a gift (she had to carry that poster all the way). My first Eminem album, THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP was given to me by a close girlfriend on Xmas 2000. Then, SLIM SHADY EP (which was his very first) was given by my ex-boyfriend on our 3rd monthsary on 2002 but it was a tape. On the same year, my close guy friend who had a crush on me (heehee) gave me THE EMINEM SHOW for my birthday. And lastly, last Christmas 2004 as an early present my very close guy friend, who's my best friend's boyfriend NOW, gave me ENCORE which he bought in Singapore and had a extra bonus CD (whheee).

And it has been sooo long since I haven't listened to these CDs so now I'm listening to them, and I can't believe I forgot how it felt like already. There's even this certain feeling washing over me right now, the feeling I used to get when I was still sooooooo hung up over him. And now here I am again..*SIGH*.
