i was about 5th row, so it's possible, but maybe not. this girl was like a teenager, and i didn't mind her singing at the time, because i was doing the same, but when i heard it in the video...:laugh4: and if it is in fact you, thanks for the sense of humor! :D but really, i should have FIGURED that it could possibly be a coldplayer before i went on about how terrible it sounded.

:stunned: check to see if that's where you were. if it's you...oh my god, i'm so sorry, and i'm going to edit that post now.

OK, guys, i'm FINALLY starting to get my videos up! i can really only put them on facebook since i've been wholly unsucessful with youtube, but i think these links will work in the same way. anyway, sorry about the intense shakiness and instability of the videos, but there's occasionally a nice shot, and i mostly took them for the audio anyway, which i must say i'm impressed with. it's just that i have the shakiest hands in the world, it was 6:30 AM, i'd been up since 2, i hadn't eaten, and i was REALLY excited. also, you can sometimes hear someone singing. i was singing, and occasionally you can hear me, but because i was behind the camera you can't hear me much. this singing is from a girl that was like right in front of me. just so you know :P anyway, i'm putting them up gradually, so here are the first few if anybody wants them: Lost! (take 3...got on air): 42 (on air): yellow: in my place (take 1):

haha, i was going to go to portugal at the end of july/beginning of august too! then i decided to go to london instead, because the family i'd be going with is starting out from holland, driving the entire way and camping. and i'm not a camper :P all my pictures are linked to in the netherlands blog in my sig if anyone's interested :D

ok, that almost scared the SHIT out of me :laugh4: nice one, alyssa :dozey: :P

ahhhhh, this makes me SO happy! :D my two favorite bands, the beatles and coldplay :nice: and chris looks particularly gorgy...

1. First related Coldplay memory? hearing "clocks" every three minutes on the radio back in 2002/2003. and my mom playing AROBTTH in the car on heavy rotation. 2. Have you ever seen the band live in concert, if so where? meadows in hartford CT, august 4 2005; mohegan sun arena in uncasville CT, april 4 2006; rockefeller center in NYC, june 27 2008. and i'll be seeing them in east rutherford NJ, october 26 2008 too :D 3.a Favorite Coldplay album? AROBTTH. Parachutes is basically tied. b. Favorite Coldplay song? hard to pick just one, but if i had to, probably "see you soon." c. Favorite Coldplay video? "the scientist," then "shiver" 4. Most treasured Coldplay item in your collection? my singles box set and all my records of theirs, i guess. 5. What was your craziest fanatic moment regarding Coldplay (ie. did you have to go at great lengths to see them live? did you do something really dramatic to defend Coldplay? etc etc.) haha, waking up at 2AM to catch a train to go see them in NYC by 6:30 AM. that's pretty insane. oh, and for my second time seeing them, i had to skip school, and once my dean found out why i'd skipped school, i got in big trouble :P

YAAAAAAAAAAAY! :dance: omg, semy and i were JUST saying "what about the VLV single and b-sides?!" like an hour ago :stunned:

WHEEEEE! :dance: thanks for telling us :D

me on the euromast in rotterdam, holland earlier today :P my head's too fat for any real skyline to be included.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEE! :dance: :dance: :dance: :heart:

well i wouldn't give you an empty can, would i?! even though these ones are a bit...adventurous, it would be a total let down to receive an empty can of pringles, no? :P they just might be pringle dust by the time they get to you through airport security and all. i think the spicyness will prevail. considering EVERYTHING is currently giving me gastric reactions, these are NOT a smart choice for me to be eating. yet i eat like one or two and i seem to be ok :D. and i have a third can for me, don't worry. these are the gift ones :lol:

ohh, they were. it's a constant battle with them :dozey: haha, "chips"! that actually sounds like "shit," so i see the point. i like "muffins" because there's no chance of anyone mishearing that as a curse :D coldplay is played quite frequently on the radio here, or at least more than i think they are back in america. so far in two weeks, i've heard three coldplay songs in various places :D

aww, yay, muffins! :dance: so far i've managed to establish that the dutch word for muffins is "muffins," so i still get strange looks when i utter that every time i miss a tram or slip in the rain :laugh4: and the kids think its absolutely hysterical that i say that, but it's habit now. no stopping it now :P

did you go to london today? :cheesy: haha, well 42 has been popping up a lot more with me too, but i've been consistently followed around my entire life by the number 21, which is half of 42...but i think we already had the 21 conversation :lol::D

i think because of the song title "amsterdam," AROBTTH has always made me think of amsterdam and holland ever since i first heard it. of course, i'd never been to amsterdam or any part of the netherlands when i first heard the album, but it just was what i thought amsterdam and holland would be like. now that i'm actually here...i have to say that i can't get that album out of my head. my mental image of amsterdam put into my head with AROBTTH was shockingly like what it really is like. off of that, whenever i listen to "the scientist," i think of a top-floor room of a canal house in amsterdam or somewhere in the netherlands, with cut-out windows (i don't know what they're really called, but windows on a slanted roof that aren't slanted, but in their own sort of box) letting in lots of light. the room has pretty much nothing in it besides a piano, and is painted white. besides the piano part, the top floor of the house i live in here in holland is pretty much the spitting image of the room that i always imagined with "the scientist." i'll take a picture and post it soon, but it's just weird :P.

i don't know, i'm not an angry person. i can count the times i got really angry in the past 10 years on one hand. unfortuneately two of those times were in the past week, and it involved me subsequently having to discipline children. i scared myself a bit, yelling at them like that. i get annoyed, though, even though i don't count that the same as being angry. mostly, i just get put out by people and sick of them. then i put on the live 2003 DVD, especially the tour diary part. that always makes me feel better, as does the entire AROBTTH album. and some really funny coldplay interviews or something :P

hahaha, i heard about this from my mom, who decided to call me all the way from america to tell me the pringles news. seriously. hahaa, no i'm not. they're QUITE spicy for some reason. lots of jalepeno. and one of those cans is for you :P i can't remember if that guy is one of the ones you suggested it might be. and YES, one of those cans has your name on it! :nice:

BEHOLD. a holland-exclusive flavor: they're quite the experience, let me tell you.

:stunned: dude. how do people do that shit?

oooooooooooh, thanks, ian!! :dance:

ooh, maybe a little! :D but to me, guy circa VLVOD and joseph finnes circa shakespeare in love are the same person:

they're basically clones. it weirds me out quite a bit, actually. the earring is the icing on the cake.

please tell me this DOESN'T look like guy in the VLV era. seriously.

oh well yeah, but i also thought there could be a *tinge* of jealousy :P. or at least an "i saw that coming" remark.
