RANTING!! Oh mein Gott... ugh...

Ok... I just need to clear my mind. And FYI... if you don't want to hear me rant about Tokio Hotel, don't read this post.

Last Wednesday, in Hamburg, Germany... apparently a "fan" was punched by Tom Kaulitz (Bill's twin bro). People automatically started turning against Tom and Tokio Hotel... without hearing the whole story. I had a feeling that he wouldn't do something like that without a really REALLY good reason... So anyway, this girl he hit is a member of this French stalker gang called The Afghans on Tour (they wear afghan wraps to hide their face or Jabbawockeez masks... LAME). These girls have been stalking TH for the past 6 months: breaking into the twins' apartment. So often that the twins have to move all the time. Egging their cars, keying their cars (brand new $150,000 cars). Blocking Bill from entering a relative's house. Sending threatening letters to the band (according to a newspaper, the letter said for Tokio Hotel to expect a "small nightmare" and that they were "very unhappy" and "growing impatient"). And... this is the one that makes my blood boil... PHYSICALLY ATTACKING A RELATIVE OF THE TWINS (rumored to be their MOTHER!)... all this allegedly happened. I guess I have to say that since I wasn't there to see them do it, but...

SERIOUSLY?! WTF?!

Some people may say that TH are celebrities. They knew they would have every move watched when they decided to become famous. Maybe that's true, but they already have no privacy in public... now they have none at home. That's enough to make anyone go crazy. Celebrities DO NOT WANT stalkers. It's unfair to say they deserve the loss of privacy just because they do what they love for a living.

I cannot believe that people who call themselves "fans" would torture their idols like that. Really? Would you like it for someone to attack your mom, to key your brand new car, to harrass your brother and friends??? I don't think so. I sure as heck would beat the crap out of someone who did all those things to me! I feel so sorry for Tom and the rest of Tokio Hotel. I would have the scheisse scared out of me if I kept seeing "Jabbawockeez in Turbans" turning up everywhere I looked.

I can't imagine the stress the band is under... having to deal with The Crazies, worrying about their mothers and families, trying to record an awesome album, working all the time, and still trying to have a private life. Forget fame, dude. Sounds like it sucks.

I don't know what German law is like, but I hope these girls will be put in prison for a LONG time. I heard the maximum sentence for stalking in Germany is 3 years. That's a little mild for what they've done to the group. Maybe they should be committed. Obviously they are a little crazy...

I hope Tom is able to personally tell the press his side of the story. I hope this won't hurt Tokio Hotel's career. I hope more media will listen to all the facts about The Crazies and what they've done and side with Tom, like the German media has (for the most part). I hope American press will actually listen to the facts too *cough*PEREZHILTON*cough*BIGTOOL*cough.

Meh...

So I haven't updated in a while... again. I'm not very good at this blogging thing.

Let's see... since March, things have been sort of crappy. My grandfather passed away on March 30th. I was able to spend all day with him the day before he passed, so I'm really greatful for that. I'll never forget that when I went to his room to check on him, he looked at me and waved at me... just like he always does, like nothing was wrong. And I'll never forget how he held my hand so tight when I was saying goodbye to him.

The week he passed was hard because I had 3 tests and two papers. I couldn't miss any class, so I didn't get to see my family until that Thursday when they held the viewing at the funeral home. It was hard to see Grandma so upset, but it was nice to be with everyone. The funeral was Friday April 3rd. I had a test right before the funeral... awesome. After I drove to Columbus, I got to see my childhood best friend, which was really nice! I haven't seen him in about 15 years. I also got to meet some cousins I've never met before and my great-uncle (one of Grandpa's little brothers). I have to say my great-uncle is AWESOME! He's the cutest old man ever. He reminds me so much of my grandfather. He enjoyed this little dance I did when I was playing with Christina and the dogs in the back yard. :)

Other than that, finals are coming soon. Not fun at all. If I can just do well on these last presentations and papers, I'll be good.

AND I get an awesome, cool phone this weekend! My old one is broken. Christina got one too... before me when MY phone is the one that is about to break in two!!!! But I won't bring that up again... grrrr.

Torture: Still waiting to hear the release date for the new Tokio Hotel album. I heard possibly June 30th, which would be awesome since summer classes end on the 27th.

Nothing really interesting... sorry I'm boring.
