Happy 33rd Birthday to my first crush, my favorite boy bander, the reason I like blonde guys the most, the guy that can always put a smile on my face just by watching his ridiculous videos…Nick Carter.  I’m so thankful I’ve had 2 opportunities to meet (and hug :)) this man who I have adored for most of my life.  He means so much to me and I wish that one day I could tell him how much he does in fact.  I’m so proud to see all that he has overcome and accomplished and I’m so glad that I’ve been there as a fan to witness all of his greatness, so happy birthday Nickolas, and I hope you have many, many more :) <3

But seriously.  

Day 16:  Favorite Backstreet Boy

EASIEST QUESTION SO FAR.  :)  My favorite Backstreet Boy is Nickolas Gene Carter.  Don’t get me wrong, I love all 5 but I have always loved Nick the most.  From the moment that I was exposed to them (circa 1998), Nick was instantly my favorite.  That blonde hair with the center part, blue eyes, his angelic voice, everything about him.  Words really cannot express how much he means to me.  Seeing him overcome all of his past struggles and become the person he has today has made me so proud of him and to see how far he has come.  His solo career has also been amazing.  Getting to see him on his ITO tour back in January was a dream come true.  Having VIP and getting to hug the man that I have obsessed over since I was 8 years old was LITERALLY a dream come true.  Before that, I had only dreamed of getting even 100 feet from him.   (Well, I got to meet him at NKOTBSB with all of the other guys as well, but still :))  Because of Nick I have met some fellow awesome fans who share the same love for him as I do!  Basically, I love this man.  I have over half of my life and I plan to be a fan for the rest of my life.  He is such an inspiration to a lot of people and looks good while being as such :)  <3  

Day 15:  Favorite Magazine Cover

I know I posted this picture for a couple of days ago’s challenge, but I can’t help if I like it, right? ;)

Day 9:  Dream Setlist

Holy eff.  

This is hard.

Here goes:

• I Want It That Way (Start with my favorite old school classic, duh :))
• The Call
• Get Another Boyfriend
• I’ll Never Break Your Heart (With me being pulled on stage by Nick, of course.)
• More Than That
• What Makes You Different
• INCOMPLETE
• Crawling Back To You
• Siberia
• Something That I Already Know
• This Is Us
• SHATTERED, yes ahhhh.
• Drowning (Like the wet version on YouTube ;))
• On Without You 
• Anywhere For You
• Back To Your Heart

At this point in the concert, each of the 5 would do a song from their fabulous solo careers.

• Nick:  Help Me, Who Needs The World, Prisoner (FAVORITE), Falling Down (A Capella), Remember
• AJ:  Teenage Wildlife
• Howie:  100
• Brian:  Angels and Heroes, Wish, In Christ Alone, I’m Alive
• Kevin: could show us some of his acting talents :) 

After this, ALL 5 would come back together for:

• I Still
• The Perfect Fan (obviously pulling their mothers up on stage like they did back in the day :))
• Never Gone

This would be my perfect setlist.  Throw in a Platinum VIP and backstage tour led by Nickolas and BAM.  :)

Day 8:  Favorite Piece of BSB Merch:

Well besides obvious things like my VIP pass, I also really enjoy the tour book from the 2001 Black & Blue tour.  I love to just look at it and remember my first BSB concert as well as my first concert EVER.  Strangely, they still look the same ;)  minus varying hairstyles, but still.  My love for them has grown so much since the late 90’s/early 2000’s.  I also love random things such as:  The BSB Official Book (that silver with tons of pictures, got it when I was in 5th grade :)), T-shirts, lunch box, I HAVE A BSB PUZZLE THAT IS AMAZING, Nick Carter’s autograph, the Burger King CD’s, all of their other cd’s, and obviously all of my posters.  

Day 7:  Favorite BSB Photoshoot:

Hm, toughie. How about-every photoshoot they have done ever.  

Or, how about this one ;)

Day 6:  Favorite Haircut:

This.  Is.  My.  Favorite.  Haircut.  Ever.  EVER.  Well, My favorite BSB haircut is pretty much whatever Nick Carter decides to do with his hair.  I love that man.  I especially love the 90’s center part :) 

Day 1:  Favorite BSB Song:  

This is difficult.  I have too many.  Incomplete, On Without You, What Makes You Different, The Call…just to name a few.  

Day 2:  Favorite BSB Album:  

Never Gone.  Or maybe Black & Blue, or Millennium.

Day 3:  ANYTHING NICK CARTER.  My childhood crush, teenage crush, and forever crush.  This is my favorite picture of us, January 31, 2012 in Charleston SC, ITO Tour :)  

This, yes.

This is precious.  This is the future me!  Once a Backstreet Boys fan, ALWAYS a Backstreet Boys fan.  For life.
