I have played(and loved!) for quite a time now. I was thinking to play 1.e4 in my OTB Tourneys whenever this "C-thing", ends. But, everybody says that e4 is only memorization and recommend me to play 1.d4, cause' 1.d4 is very strategical. But I don't want to give up my 1.e4 repertoire(I like tactics and attacks!). Can anyone tell me whether I should play 1.e4 in OTB Chess? I am REALLY CONFUSED....

You should not listen to anyone trying to tell you to switch from 1.e4 to 1.d4.  Both are perfectly playable.  For your first tournament(s), you should play what you are most comfortable with.
