It all started when I (Lauren) was in 2nd grade in 1992 and I recieved the Emotions album from my mom as a Christmas gift. I was like, who the heck is Mariah Carey. From then on I was hooked on the honey. When I moved to my current residence in 1995, I met my next door neighbor, Andrea. We became best friends. I made her listen to "So Cold". She liked it and now we are both fixated on MC. Together we both own about 42 cds and singles, 7 posters, and countless pictures and articles. Andrea also has an enlarged cardboard cover of "Here is Mariah".
