[SIZE=7pt]Dear Andy, Bradie and Shaun,[/SIZE]
It's been a while. Almost a year since we met in person. And I'm both ashamed and proud to say that I really miss you. Not in the bad way everyone means now. Not like, 'You changed, Diviney.' No. I miss the memories. I miss the emotion. I miss the love.
I downloaded the Planets ringtone today. I put it on my iPod, but I haven't had the chance to get it on my phone yet. Somehow, I like it. I like the name of the album too. This Is Bat Country. It has a nice ring to it. I'm really excited about the new album. I'll definitely pre-order it.
I'm really sorry for all the crap I've said to you in the past. After the new year everything just went so downhill for me. I wanted to stick with you guys but the hate from everyone else that you got made me hate you too. I'm not even sure I felt the hate, I just kinda went along with it.
So, on August 16th it will have been a year since I caught that bus into the city and died in the mosh and lined up for hours to meet you. I remember everything about it. How you smelt, how you felt, what you said. I wish you'd do that again. But your fan base is double the size now, and Myer won't let you back, for sure. I've changed, and you've changed too, but for the better. We've all evolved into different people. It'd be fun to see you guys live again. I wish I'd gone to the Opera House. I loved the show at The Enmore in December though.
You've always been the only boys for me. Even though you're 20, 21 and 22 now. I kept the posters on my walls for a reason. Same with the shirts in my closet, Batman necklace hanging from my bed, songs on my iPod and CD's stored safely. I knew I'd feel proud to be a Stack fan sometime again.
You helped me through so much in 2009, and now I need help again. I hope the new album will give me plenty of new songs to bawl my eyes out to, dance around to, to play on my guitar and to memorise word for word.
There's nothing much else I can say, except 'once you Stack you'll never go back.'
All my love,
