Like most people, I started out absolutely HATING One Direction. I did not think they were cute and thought their music was stupid and they were the new Justin Bieber, except there were five of them. I went as far to say Harry Styles looked like my dog. That was a moment of pure heartlessness.
Then, the catalyst to start my incurable infection was school ending. I had accomplished a busy year and my whole family was proud of me. To express this pride, they gave me an iTunes gift card as a little gift. If you know me, iTunes gift cards are like a precious resource to me, so this was an important thing to have.
One night, about two days after school ended, my parents went out and my sister and I were home alone. She was shopping on iTunes in the office, I was surfing the Internet on the laptop in the other room when I hear the opening chords to One Direction's hit song "What Makes You Beautiful". I remember distinctly coming in and almost chucking a book at her head when she made me stop and listen to their voices matching each other and singing in unison. The she clicked on another song to listen to; it wasn't too bad! We listened to the whole album that night.
Then we looked them up on the Internet.
Then we looked them up on Tumblr.
Then we saw the Youtube videos.
Then we read their quotes.
Then we started taking personality quizzes to decide who we would be best matched with.
Then we started reading the fanfiction (OH BOY).
This all took place in one night, by the way.
By the time we had finished laughing our heads off at the video diaries, finished awwing over their inspiring stories (plucked from obscurity to be on the X Factor to worldwide fame) and learning they did have ACTUAL talent, and finished screaming over their totally, shall we say, GORGEOUS AND PERFECT AND BRITISH AND IRISH AND OH-MY-GOD-CAN-I-MARRY-YOU faces, I was in love. Offiically. And I took it all back. Every unkind word spoken, every insult to their music, every hurtful comment. Because the boys have been quoted saying that hate does affect them and it does hurt because they try really hard to please their fans (aww!).
So in case you didn't know who's who and like One Direction (or love) and want to know more, here is the break down of the band, boy by boy!
HARRY STYLES aka Hazza, H, or Haz.
My sister's favorite, the one who is hot and dangerous! The youngest of the band members, he is known as one of the main heartthrobs because of his charm, his brown curly locks, and gorgeous green eyes. He is known to be a player and likes older women! He has a strong voice that perfectly matches the rest of the group and sings solos often. His personal style is very prepster with bow ties and blazers. Birthday is February 1st, 1994, has one older sister named Gemma and has (I think) five tattoos with personal meaning!
Just some pictures of Harry:
LIAM PAYNE aka Daddy Directioner
The smart and sensitive one of the group! He has classic good looks (brown hair, brown eyes, nice skin) and is as cute as a puppy! He is just plain adorable and loves looking out for the boys. He auditioned for the X Factor when he was 14, but came back when he was 16 and made it through! His voice is arguably the best in the group because of his tone quality and maturity. His personal style is classic, with plaid shirts and Converse. Birthday is August 29th, 1993, his favorite movie is Toy Story, he has a fear of spoons, and has been together with his dancer girlfriend, Danielle Peazer, since he was on X Factor

LOUIS TOMLINSON aka Boo Bear, the Tommo, Lou Lou, Queen Louis
The sweet and sassy boy! He is the oldest and my second favorite in the group. His adorable face, playful smile, and personal style (Stripes and TOMS!!!!) would draw any girl in. He is known to be the sassiest one of the group (need proof? Go read any interview or watch any video with him) and the band's prankster. His voice is great for someone of his age; he can go really high, but not sound whiny! Birthday is Christmas Eve of 1991, he has five sisters, and has been with his university student girlfriend, Eleanor Calder, since Harry introduced them. His inspiration to try out for the X Factor was when he played Danny Zuko in his school's production of Grease!
Pics of Louis:
NIALL HORAN aka Baby Nandos, Nialler, the special snowflake
OK, so this boy is the cute and Irish one!!! He is also perfect in every way possible. His blond hair (it is naturally brown. i like it better brown), gorgeous see-to-your-soul eyes, and perfect smile will steal any girl's heart! He is my favorite, so watch out! His voice is beautiful, so clear and a perfect range and UGH too many emotions talking about him. His known as the one who has no flaws in the group and the baby because the boys all like to protect him. His personal style of form-fitting polos, bro tanks, snapbacks, and wayfarers make him look AMAZING. IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. Birthday is September 13th, 1993, he has one brother, he plays the guitar, and is constantly hungry!!
Pictures of Niall:
Yeah, that is Zayn behind him. Awk.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO........THE END.
ZAYN MALIK aka Vain Zayn, DJ Malik, The Poser
The quiet and mysterious boy! I once compared Zayn to Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights because both are from Yorkshire and quiet and mysterious! His soulful eyes, exotic looks, and bad boy appeal just scream COME GET ME! Not really, but you get it, in a non-stalkerish way. His voice is soulful and you can also hear him as the cool backups on the songs they sing. His style of monogrammed letterman jackets, quiffed hair, and tattoos just say bad boy, but he is the good little one! Birthday is January 12th, 1993, has eight tattoos (and counting!), is very protective of Niall, loves Bruno Mars, and has been with his girlfriend, Perrie Edwards of girl band Little Mix, since he confirmed it in May, 2012. But we all know its been longer than that!

So, if you take thing one thing away from this blog post, it is that I have no life. JK, but really, these boys have taken over! Again, just kidding. I am just a dedicated fan who loves their music, the fact they are themselves, and the love they give to their fans everyday. So I hope to see you ordering Take Me Home on November 13th, 2012 when it is released and dressing up as 1D for Halloween!
Peace out, and TANKS!
