i love that "yes please" bit too, jenika!! i dont know why, but its so cute. the toronto concert makes my life! i just need to buy a program so i can watch it on my ipod... (i have a friend named jenniqua, by the way. and because of the similar name, when i think of you i picture her in my head. but she would NEVER like coldplay! random as hell, i know. sorry. im weird).

here are my suggestions, in no particular order: approximately infinite new york morning echo of your light logic control streetlight halo speed of dreams street with no exit (calle sin salida) occam's razor the house of eternal diwali originally i thought some of these would be cool song names, but i guess they work for albums too.

i love the way chris sits in chairs. its soooo adorable! i rarely sit in chairs the right way, either. some of my teachers arent so cool with that, but whatever.

good talking to you as well! must do it again. YES, you must create that thread! i think itll be one that loses interest for others quickly, but who cares? TOUR DIARY LOVE!! that quote kills me every time. i may watch it tonight, in fact. (the tour diary, i mean). yes, that's one of the most beautiful coldplay photos ive ever seen, that and the one in my avi. if you didnt guess from my previous comments, i want to become a film director really badly, and ive been into black and white photography for years. its just a wonderful, stunning photo. it seemed to me like it was just asking for the word COLDPLAY to be superimposed across it, so i did it. :) see you soon is one of my favorites as well! my second-favorite, to be precise. its just SO AMAZING, lyrically and musically. i think its as close to perfection of anything i will ever hear. it makes me cry. the first time i heard it i was like ohaohfoighsghigfiohoiurt, thats EFFING AMAZING. i cant get over it to this day. hope to talk to you soon! (hah, "see you soon"... :P )

OMG THATS MY FAVORITE QUOTE!!!! i never heard anyone else notice it before! i love that whole thing. everything about it. theyre hilarious. and its so beautifully done, from a directorial perspective. your avatar is the same pic as my siggy :cool:

for you and everythings not lost (not a good day) but recently, shiver and the scientist. and clocks. such perfection :heart:

oh, the toronto gig is wonderful! im looking into cheap software so i can conver it to MPEG4 format so i can put it on my ipod and therefore TV. im sick of only watching it on the computer. its a HUGE file. i think musically, toronto is better than live 2003, but artistically and visually, live 2003 is better. i know that has everything to do with the director and nothing to do with the boys, but on that respect i was slightly disappointed. and i really REALLY want a tour diary.

haha, yeah i think the website's pretty cool. try a ruler and precise measurements if you do it by hand again, though. i decorated my notebook with X&Y stuff, and i got it to work well if you use a ruler or graph paper. im such a geek. :lol: :smart: :book2:

^aw, crap. well, these things can change, right? there's a glimmer of hope. and there might be a tiny tiny shred of truth to it?

^^ my desktop background was my name in baudot color code (the x&y code) for a while. i used to doodle it all the time back when i had time to be bored. you can make it all pretty at this link. its so cool! http://homepage.mac.com/wysz/xy/coldcode.html i just love coldplay. theyre so perfect for every mood at any time. there will never be a time when i cant find one of their songs to fit my mood. they make me happy just thinking of them. and i TOTALLY agree, the way jonny talks is lovely. HE is just lovely.

lucky people with good days. bah. yesterday was an amazing day, first day of second semester (im a second-semester senior!!) and was all around fun and i had "shiver" stuck in my head ll day. then last night i got a letter in the mail saying i was deferred from my saftey school that i really really liked, so that put a big damper on today. my point is that its funny when you're depressed or down how every song you listen to snaps to fit your situation perfectly. i was listening to "for you", and everything chris was singing spoke directly to what i was feeling. i didnt really feel better, but that wasnt what i needed. sometimes you need the wallowing time, and coldplay is wonderful for that too (and i mean that in a good way.) what DID cheer me up last night was the bit of news about coldplay's new album being closer to completion than we previously thought. PLEASE please in the next calendar year? that would make me so SO happy, no matter where i go to college. i hope they try to top AROBTTH, because to me that's sheer perfection, and if you top that, then well. :laugh4:

good news to counter my bad news of today: i got deferred from a college i thought i was a shoo-in to.

^ im very confused. that cant be chris...can it? thanks for the sigur ros info. now for another question: somehow HTML was disabled in my posting window and i dont know how to get it back. anyone have any idea how to fix this? i cant put spaces between my topics anymore!

oh my effing god. i would die. are there any photos of the encounter??

THEY JUST PLAYED "EVERYTHING'S NOT LOST" ON SCRUBS!!!sorry, but the combination of my favorite show and my favorite band totally just made my sucky day. :heart:

very good points, ég-elska-Thom. especially "In the end every author is creating their own charecters anyway and basing them on the band."this is one of those topics that i dont know quite what to think. and those topics are rare for me. usually i love things, or i wished i loved them. here...im not so sure. its like a really guilty pleasure or something, one that i dont want to admit to.

took my calculus exam today and didnt have much of a clue of what was going on. all that was running through my head was "i was just guessing at numbers and figures..." um, no offense because i love you all, but...when you listened to "one i love" were you on some form of drugs? :lol: i cant say i ever heard any reference to marshmallows in coldplay music... i cant stop thinking about the toronto concert. and my brain keeps coming up with ideas for potential music video type things to coldplay songs when i should be studying for midterms. it does this usually (my dream is to become a director someday), but theyve been more vivid than usual, probably because i have something else really important i need to be doing. i inherited my brothers old cellphone, which is slightly more hip than mine is, and i donwloaded a ringtone of "clocks" which is rather good for being a fake representation of it. it rang the other day and one of my friends was like "only valentine would have that ring," and today it rang and a different friend (more like an aquaintance) smiled and said "hey, i know that song!"

i have daydreams about them ALL THE TIME. its like a wonderful sort of disease. i havent really had a real DREAM about them in a while. but sometimes i think of a past dream and realize chris was there, like you just...know that he was in it even though you dont remember seeing him. i had a dream once they played a concert on the front lawn of my school and came to our weekly chapel service and ate lunch in our dining hall. i almost died.

i have to say that i almost entirely agree. the fact that theyre real people bothers me, and i hate to think that they might read these things. at the same time, i find myself drawn to reading them, like how you cant look away from a car crash or something. i think its just anything to do with them and/or the music sucks me in. i refuse to read the really slashy, X-rated ones, though. i find that disgusting. i was into beatles fanfic for a while and found some decent, cute ones, but once i got into the really revolting ones i was put off for a while. CWYS, though, i liked a lot. i think it went only slightly too far as opposed to WAAAY over the line as most do, and i think the writer had good ideas and talent. i'm a writer myself, and while i cant write straight-out fan fiction, ive written stories about characters based on certain aspects of what we know of peoples personalities, such as chris or jonny or whoever, and i really enjoy that because its not offeding anyone and you can tweak things without guilt. ive actually written a story about a band loosely based on coldplay. so. theres my two cents.

my mom said a very similar thing once, that i should mail them all razorblades to shave with. and black sneakers to match their outfits. FINALLY got the toronto concert, both the MP3 and the movie. HOMG, i LOOOVE it. i need to figure out how to get it on my ipod. ive been listening to the MP3 obsessively. "speed of sound" and "the scientist" are AMAZING, and it brings me back to when i saw them. *sigh*. i want to watch it constantly, but this has been a crazy week, and i have midterm exams next week. i wish i had a DVD burner to put it on DVD. i write creatively compulsively, and last night i wrote a scene for a story which i thought was decently good. i was reading it over and listening to music, and "the scientist" came on, and i noticed that the scene in the story WAS the scientist!! i subconsciously wrote ABOUT the scientist! this girl goes up to her boyfriend's apartment to tell him shes sorry etc etc, it just follows the lyrics exactly. i cracked up. it was so creepy yet so cool. oh coldplay, how i love thee. I WANT TO WATCH THE TORONTO CONCERT AGAIN!! i also came home from school early today because i had a bad day, and im currently writing my term paper listening to coldplay VERY LOUDLY. its quite nice.

i dont really get made fun of for liking coldplay as much as a lot of people in here do, because lots of my friends like them (though not NEARLY as much as i do). but theyre awfully critical of them lots of times, even though they have all the albums and lots of bsides on their ipods, like saying theyre lyrics arent that good and all their songs sound the same and chris martin's weird, etc etc. i point out that they listen to them as much as i do, but whatever. most people in my school like them, though. i go to a bit of an unconventional school, though.

this is nearly exactly how i feel as well. my mom got AROBTTH when it came out, but i was in 7th grade and was young and stupid, so while i liked it and thought it was good, i didnt care about music. i dont really remember much of what i cared about, actually, since almost all of the things im into now weren't part of my life back then. and i looked funny too. i didnt get really into coldplay until i saw the speed of sound vid last april (the only song i had on my ipod of theirs was clocks until x&y came out), but i dont think that makes me any less of a fan. i love them more than any other current band out there (the beatles will always be number one, though, but i must say that coldplay are pretty much exactly tied). simlarly, i havent had any huge, traumatic event in my life, or really much of anything big to complain about. i wish i could say that coldplay really helped me through some tough time or something, but the truth is they havent, not because they're not capable of it but because i havent needed them to yet. and that doesnt mean they mean any less to me than anyone else, either. and just because someone's had a cushy upbringing doenst mean theyre permanently happy, either, so coldplay's meant a lot during the little bumps in the road. speed of sound was the first song i really loved of theirs, but yellow is the first one i connected with. i love it because chris freely admits its written about platonic, friendship-love, and that's the kind i have most in my life. my grade is really small, 39 people, and the bond we all have with each other is amazing, and yellow seems to be written about that. and so many of their songs seem to fit my life and my emotions and my experiences so perfectly that its almost creepy. they express feelings and emotions in their lyrics that ive been trying to put into words for years. for me, X&Y, specifially the speed of sound single, was simply a door that led me to the greatness that is coldplay, for while im not an X&Y hater, i think all their earlier stuff is better. i cannot express what they mean to me. i would do anything for them to keep creating music for years to come.

for me, about ~50 miles for my first (and best) in hartford, and then about ~150-ish to see them at mohegan sun the second time. i gave up a lot more than distance to see them that second time, though. i had to skip school the day after seeing them because my mom didnt want to drive late at night, so we stayed in a hotel. when i got back to school, my teacher and boss and dean COMPLETELY hauled off my ass about skipping school and made me cry and said i'd lost his vote for this really prestigious class officer position that i was up for at the time, and i was really upset about it. he was just in a bad mood, now that i think about it, though. AND i got the position, so HAH. in short, i was willing to give up my chance at the prefect position for coldplay. and it turns out i didnt have to. i also live only ~50 miles from NYC, so im pretty close whenever chris is in his apartment there.
