this is pointless skip it [10 Oct 2003|12:26pm] [ mood | content ] [ music | Turin Brakes - 5 Mile (These Are The Days) ] I had a really good birthday despite not doing much or being able to spend it with Emma. I just spent it at home with my family and the rest of the band. As boring as that sounds, I really enjoyed it. Usually I'd hate that, I'd want to go and get wasted or something but I don't get to see my family much now, so it was nice. I think during this whole year, I've only been home 7 or 8 times because we've been touring so much. I really missed being home and seeing my dog, Ella, I think she has had a growth spurt or something I do not remember her being that big. It was a shame I couldn't see Emma either but she called me to wish me a happy birthday. It’s hard to keep relationships going through just a phone but it will have to do for the time being. Craig what happened to the run on sentences I bet you were hoping I forgot ahahaha I have to go catch a plane to see Marieh, adios. 2 x you're so damn hot

[07 Oct 2003|12:21pm] [ mood | old ] ew it's my birthday 10 x you're so damn hot

[24 Sep 2003|01:41pm] [ mood | jubilant ] HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIEH :D i cut my hair what is wrong with me. oh well at least it doesn't look as bad as craig's 5 x you're so damn hot

i actually feel like updating wtf [18 Sep 2003|03:23pm] [ mood | blah ] [ music | fairweather - next day flight ] Forget the update I made yesterday. It was pointless I just didn't want to get removed. I've been sleeping all day because I feel like shit. I have flu or something like it. I always find that when you're sick everything seems to get on top of you and I tend to be very negative when I'm unwell. It kind of frustrates me how our band isn’t really going anywhere right now. For the past 6 months we've just been touring, touring, touring and I don't feel like we've gotten that much out of it. I mean, I enjoy it, it's just very draining sometimes and if you play somewhere new and you don't get a great response, or not that many people show up it kind of feels it's all gone to hell sometimes. its like, why do we bother? We also really need to hurry up with releasing the new single. I don't honestly know why it's taking so long. I am going to see Marieh in just over a week to teach her the Chic-a-Go-Go dance. At least that’s something to look foreword to. New Layout, the orange was hurting my eyes. I need to go sleep bye 4 x you're so damn hot

[17 Sep 2003|04:06pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | The Mars Volta - Inertiatic Esp ] I hate having to update when you have absolutely nothing to write about. We finished touring the UK I am glad thats over. We only have a couple dates left to play in Chicago and I think thats all we are doing this month which is good because I want to concentrate on writing new songs. Hi Craig . This is only so you don't feel bad about losing. Marieh wins sorry. You are still my favorite k bye 3 x you're so damn hot

[02 Sep 2003|08:05pm] [ mood | homesick ] [ music | longwave - best kept secret ] I am in the UK right now. I love it here so much. We came here to play three festivals, all of which were amazing experiences. The first was Reading and Leeds which is really one festival, but it is divided so that there are two different groups of bands. One load will play Reading one day, then Leeds the next, and the other group do Leeds first and then Reading after. That is sort of confusing I don't remember which we did first. We played the Radio 1 stage, which I do believe is a British radio station and we were high up on the bill. Not a headliner, but pretty close. I also got to hang out with Meg White which made it a lot more fun. After that, we had the T on the Fringe festival in Scotland which was awesome. We went back to the UK afterwards to tour and we are still doing that. Emma is not here with me, and I understand completely why not. I know if she had come along she would have hated it, plus I would not have any time to see her and she probably would have felt neglected or something since I am the only person she'd know here anyway. I think we are only here for a few more days though so it will be really nice to be able to go see her. I think 'Don't Ask Me' is getting released soon. I fucking hope so. This seems to be taking longer than it should be, and it's been so long since we've released anything I hope people don't think we died or got dropped or whatever. I also want people to see the video's because they are really great. I don't know which I like more, probably the orange video, but we will release the other video because that cost money. The other was just made by some guy with a camera and an orange screen, and a bunch of fans that danced in front of it. The only downside to all this is the promotion and the touring which is not all that bad, but I just get homesick after a little while. where is craig i am bored 4 x you're so damn hot

[16 Aug 2003|09:59pm] [ mood | mmm cut tags ] ( i am only updating because craig said he would cry otherwise and amber there is stuff here about you ) ( unlike craig i did not edit this ) ( and lastly the part about amber ) 14 x you're so damn hot

[09 Aug 2003|02:23pm] [ mood | where is emma :'( ] [ music | hot hot heat - get in or get out ] This is more of a proper update. One of Craig's band members has a journal now and he is like over-active. He updated 3 times in a row I am jelous I don't know how he does it but whatever. I like his updates. I wish my band would get journals but I know they would just abandon them as soon as I stopped forcing them to update. Plus no-one really knows who my band are so it is pointless. I have new icons FINALLY, courtesy of Amber. Thankyou ;-* oh and Craig, I REPLIED TO YOUR SENTENCES SEE I DID NOT LIE IT JUST TOOK LONGER THAN I WAS EXPECTING IT TO. I signed on earlier and the only person online was Tony Lovato and we um spoke brefily he is kind of great. wtf I still need to talk to Meg White. Pretend this whole update was all about Amber okay. 10 x you're so damn hot

[01 Aug 2003|06:29pm] [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | the vines - fuck the world ] Why am I on the list of people that have to update before tomorrow, I updated six days ago >:O. Whatever. So anyway I am still doing nothing, but Emma is still here. She needs to update also I will have to remind her or something. Me and the rest of the band have to go to the UK in about 2 weeks so I still have a lot of time to spend with Emma this is great. I don't know there is your update bye. 12 x you're so damn hot

[26 Jul 2003|07:55am] [ mood | lazy ] [ music | Glassjaw - Cosmopolitan Blood Loss ] Where the fuck is everybody? I don't have anything to update about but I haven't updated in a week so I don't want to get kicked out or whatever. We had a show last night at the Empty Bottle in Chicago which is our favourite venue. We always used to play there before we got signed and it's really near home so we'd play there all the time. It's kind of surreal playing there now because people actually show up and the venue was near full. We have another show in Chicago tonight, which I think Emma is coming too so that should be great. After that we have a month off. A whole month. Well, thats what I was told, but knowing my luck I'm sure it is not going to be a whole month. Craig, expect those sentences soon. Hi Monica :D 4 x you're so damn hot

[15 Jul 2003|09:13pm] [ mood | rushed ] [ music | aar - drive away ] I hate it when I forget our tour schedule. We had a festival to play in Scotland on Wednesday and Thursday. I didn't want Emma to leave my house so I locked her in. Okay maybe I didn't but she didn't seem to want to leave anyway. I was only gone for a couple days and it gave her a chance to get to know Chicago better other than the few places I have gotten around to showing her. Haha I am so stupid. The 'T In The Park' festival was really great. We also played the Witness festival in Ireland yesterday, which was also the second day of the T festival if that makes any sense. So we have been kind of busy, but we don't have anymore shows for about two weeks so I won't have to leave Emma again for a while. That is, if she stays for that long. I hope she does. Why do the All American Rejects not have journals yet sob. 5 x you're so damn hot

[09 Jul 2003|07:26pm] [ mood | crushed ] So uh Free has left... man, I feel sorry for Craig. First Laetitia, now Free. 4 x you're so damn hot

[06 Jul 2003|12:20pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | All- American Rejects - Your Star ] I don't know why I'm updating but Amber wins because she made me a new layout with a sidebar because I tried doing one and it was fucking awful. Hahaha I showed her it and she was dying. Anyway, Free is here, we haven't had our ping-pong match yet but I am planning on taking her out for drinks later so she is easy to beat tomorrow can meet Andy 'cause he likes her band a lot. I don't know weeee. Where is Emma? :( 7 x you're so damn hot

amber is a lush >:O [02 Jul 2003|09:50pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | phantom planet - hey now girl ] I have to put the going out and drinking with Amber, Emma and Craig on hold for a while because FREE IS COMING TO SEE ME :D :D :D I am a bit too over excited about it 'cause I have never met her before and she is great and stuff. When she gets here she wants to tell me about gas stations and we are going to have a ping-pong match which she won't win because I am the ping- pong master okay don't let her tell you any different. I am so bored so I hope she turns up soon. Amber wanted a run on sentence so I gave her one. Good fucking God she is so fast with her replies haha. I replied to Craig's sentences, it's 7 comments long so he will kill me oops. Speaking of which, where the fuck is he?, and Emma too I miss her sob. I am in the best of moods weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ;x i hate you Amber you have made it a habit. 7 x you're so damn hot

[28 Jun 2003|10:18am] [ mood | sleepy ] I don't want to get kicked out and Craig wants me to update so here you go. The two videos for "Don't Ask Me" are on our website, we have the main video and 'the orange video' so uh check those out. We played a show in Chicago last night for Apple, you know that company that make computers but I didn't get any free stuff. Hi Emma stop lurking i am on AIM now so get on haha :-*. Marieh you are great okay bye. EDIT: wait nevermind but don't lurk okay it's bad for you ;) 15 x you're so damn hot

[19 Jun 2003|09:03pm] [ mood | enraged ] OH MY GOD I JUST TYPED UP 200 AND SOMETHING LINES TO REPLY TO CRAIG'S RUN ON SENTENCES AND I FUCKING LOST IT ALL LKJFS;FJD 3 x you're so damn hot

[16 Jun 2003|07:03pm] [ mood | tired ] When is Craig going to reply to my long run on sentences i'm sure it's been a week since i posted those. If you're busy i understand it's just that touring gets boring. My band mates are bad company i need stuff to do. Anyway, Saturday was fun. The gig that night was probably my favorite, other than the opening gig in Nottingham because the first night of tours are always the best and Emma was there so you know. Marieh was late i think she got lost or something but she still made it in time before our set. Me and the rest of the band were in Brighton all day anyway and we rehearsed earlier on in the day, so when we got to the venue I had nothing to do. I needed to clear my head a bit and wanted some fresh air, so I went outside with my guitar, crossed the road and sat on the railings by the beach (which is where this icon is from. i know it's blurry don't hate). By this time the first support act were on and I couldn't really hear what I was playing because they were so loud. Good band though. A few people had realized who I was and gathered round, but i don't think they were paying much attention to what i was playing. I had my photo taken with a couple of them, then Dan came out and was yelling something at me so I followed him back inside. Marieh was there, I'm guessing that's why I got called in. She was wearing a pink string vest, baggy pants and more bling than Nelly. It was fake though, I'm sure. We sat and talked for a while, then my band got called on stage. The whole set is kind of a blur because I went drinking with Marieh afterwards :x but I remember doing Women + Men. Which uh is a song we only do live where we try and rap, it's more Tim rapping than me though. I remember looking to the side and seeing Marieh rapping along with us ahah she probably won't admit to it, but she knew all the words. After the show, I took her to meet Tim and Burleigh since she wanted to meet them. Tim has taken a liking to her but I am too tired to write anymore. Sorry this was long bye. EDIT: wow i actually got to talk to Emma on AIM i think thats a first. while i'm at it hi emma :-*. 9 x you're so damn hot

[11 Jun 2003|07:11pm] [ mood | happy ] [ music | ash - cherry bomb ] So my band is in the UK, I love it here. Emma is here also which makes it even better. I'm suprised she isn't bored or sick of us yet. She is like our little groupie fan girl, jumping and screaming at every show just to make me feel better if not as many people as I was hoping for showed up. She is so cute. Where the hell is everybody? It's fucking crazy, none of you people have been on AIM for days but maybe that's because I like to sign on at weird times so I never catch anyone on. Craig, you need to update. Thank you for updating Free, STOP CALLING ME CRAIG-DAMIAN hahaha ;-* I am digging the layout by the way. I'll re-do mine one of these days. Marieh is coming to our show in Brighton on Saturday and even though I hate performing it, we'll do Women + Men just for her. She is good at curing late night insomnia and we are so ghetto you'd be suprised. Oh and Avril might be coming to a show too, if she has time but I'm sure she's really busy so I can only hope. Replace your CD >:O how you can live without hearing 'Get Over It' every day is beyond me haha ;). 2 x you're so damn hot

[08 Jun 2003|02:54am] [ mood | blah ] [ music | Rooney - Sorry, Sorry ] Look- a proper update. First off, I'm really sorry Emma, but uh we already played Japan sorry [my] fault *hits head* i am too forgetful for my own good. But I'll be looking out for you in Birmingham tomorrow, it should be fun. I've just had too much to remember lately um yeah we opened for The Bangles which was great because...well it's The fucking Bangles. We flew out to the UK yestersay, and we began the tour in Nottingham last night. This is mainly for me so I don't forget ( tour dates ) Craig, I replied haha ughh need sleep not that I'll get any bye. 24 x you're so damn hot

because everyone else is doing it [05 Jun 2003|07:23pm] [ mood | amused ] ( that fairy tale thing ) 10 x you're so damn hot
