Mm.. taco?


*folds taco wrapper neatly into a square as I finish eating it, looks around for a trash bin but doesn't find one, is totally against littering so stuffs the wrapper in my back pocket, pats it, stands up and walks out of hotel*

Texas, hotter than ever. The food here -even hotter. *chuckles slightly to myself and folds arms, looking up at the sky, takes a deep breath, smiles and looks around* My manager said the bus would be here any minute now.. it isn't.

*sticks both of my hands in my pockets, waiting patiently. Seconds later two women and a man approach me, the youngest looking girl squealing a bit as the slightly older female speaks to me and takes out a pen and a piece of paper. She tells me how huge a fan of mine she is, hands me the pen and paper, asks for my autograph, and asks me to sing a bit of one of 'my songs', which she says is entitled "A Thousand Miles". I sign the paper, thank her, my own voice saying this inside my head to myself -"Humor them!". Smiles sweetly and clears throat, the man watching me dreamilly and the women too, not caring to look at my signature in which I wrote "Smile! (doodle of a smilie) Michelle"*

"If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you..tonight"

*the girls squeal, the man applauds, they all shake my hand and walk away, looking back at me as they do so, my bus comes and stops in front of me, the door opens and the bus driver calls for me. "Michelle! Miss Branch, hiney in the bus now, please" he says, the three "fans" look back at me, blushing and grinning guiltilly, I smile, stick my right hand up and wiggle fingers in a wave, I then hop on the bus and sit down somewhere, the three kids still shocked*

American Airlines Center, here we come!

Thank you Keri and Eliza for your generous birthday wishes. Much love to you both. *smiles sweetly*

	Hey aren't you that girl that sings "Everywhere?" I swear I've seen you around ;) Seriously though Michelle, I just wanted to say I really really love your new record. Geez, I sound like such a little fan girl here, but heck who cares. I am a fan girl! I think my favorite song is "One of these Days." I look forward to seeing you live when you come around here!

YES, I sing "Everywhere"! *gasps playfully* You know me? *laughs* Aw, wow.. the feedback I get on the new album is usually not good, so you have no idea how much your words lighten me up right now. *giggles* I'm really very happy that you like it, and also knowing I have a fan girl in you! Hee. And "One Of These Days" definitely has to be one of my favorites on this album too.. not that I'm being self-centered but what can I say, I'm really proud. I mean, I used to go to my family while recording and went like "listen, listen!" *laughs* I'm a dork. But thank you, Alyson. Hit me up sometime, alright? I'd love to hear from you again. And I'll gladly hook you up with a couple of tickets, if I'm headed your way. Just let me know where you are. *grins* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You should be proud of what you've written, I really think you've come a long way Michelle. I mean not that I didn't dig your last record, cause I surely did, and all, but I really think this record shows a lot of maturity. I love the fact you've been so absolutely bold with your writing this time around. You aren't dancing around subjects you're completely throwing yourself out there saying "Hey world, look at me! look at everything that's gone on and I'm not afraid to tell you about it!" I'm not a songwriter or anything but to do that takes a lot of courage. I'm always around, on AIM, Allegedly Aly so if you're ever about there feel free to IM me anytime! And I'm in LA with Alexis, we'd totally love to see you! And ticket? Woo! I'm feeling damn lucky then! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

*smiles sweetly* Thank you, Alyson. Everything you said up there, just made me.. feel.. wow. Thank you. Yes, I've been trying to be a bit more honest on this album, the last one was full of ficticious love songs. Rather than love and those things, I focused on me and my view of everyday life on Hotel Paper. So yes.. thank you. And I just sent a couple of tickets your way for the L.A. show on the 19th of this month. *smiles* I hope to see you and Alexis there! And I'm not around on AIM much, I know but if ever a miracle happens and I'm there, feel free to IM me. Unbranched. *smiles* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's all so true though everything I said. My schedule is so incredibly busy right now but you bet Alexis and I will be there. Thankyou so very much for the tickets. Don't worry I'm leaving the lighter at home but I shall sway to the music in perfect time. No signs saying "Michelle Branch is Number 1!" either but I promise I'll groove to the lyrics and such.
