Day 19: Discuss Your First Love

Damn! I just realized I missed day 19. Yesterday was supposed to be the 19th day, not 20th!

Anyway, here's the 19th day.

Today's challenge is to discuss my first love. Well, define 'love'. Because if celebrity crushes count, my first love ever would be... Freddie Mercury!

Oh Freddie Mercury! How can I forget? The moment that he stepped into the room he took my breath away!

No, of course that didn't happen like that. I'm hoping anyone knows the reference though.

So, Freddie Mercury, I think he's the very first celebrity I've been a fan of. So, one day in 1992, I was six, I had a fever, I was really ill, and my dad played me the laser disc of his concert. It was his duet with Montserrat Caballé, singing the theme songs for 1992 Summer Olympic.

He was so charming, entertaining, beautiful, and his voice was, still is, and will always be the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Forgive me for exaggerating, he's my first love, okay?

There are two songs that I really like until now, 'How Can I Go On' and, the best song in the world, 'Barcelona'. Okay, for the last 7-8 years I've been saying that 'The Fool on the Hill' was the best song ever, but now that I started to listen to 'Barcelona' again, no, 'Barcelona' is the best song I've ever heard.

Okay, so, I fell in love with Freddie Mercury. Then my dad told me that this guy had just passed away a year before. So my first love was a dead guy.

AIDS was the first dangerous disease I've ever known about, because I asked my dad why Freddie died, and he told me that the guy died of AIDS.

But I was still in love with him. I started to love Queen's songs. So, Queen was the first music group I've ever been a fan of. And until now, I still think Freddie Mercury was the best performer I know.

I think, I'm unconsciously influenced a lot by Freddie Mercury. I always imagine that I was him. He's my spirit animal.

I wrote in previous posts that, if I decided to adopt a child one day, I'd name him Farrokh Bulsara, Freddie's real name. I even named my former dog Farrokh Bulsara.

Okay, maybe he's more of an idol for me rather than first love.

So does it mean I failed today's challenge?

Some other times I'll try again to write about first love. Right now I can't think of anyone but the celebs.
