That is so fucking COOL. :stunned: I'm getting a new laptop pretty soon and I don't want this shitty AOL anymore. I'm definately getting firefox and adding that stuff on! :dance:

You know you're addictted to Coldplay when: 1) Your crush looks at your iPod and says "You have 196 Coldplay songs? O_o" That was a little awkward. :P 2) Everyone in school knows you like Coldplay. 3) Your school has a "song of the day" and when they played Viva La Vida, your friends automatically think you requested it. :P

I like Lady GaGa, but her rendition of Viva La Vida was AWFUL. O_o Migraine-inducing awful. Anyway, random thoughts. Yellow came on some Vh1 show today. And last night I watched Live 2003 for no reason and listened to Parachutes. :D Their albums are very summery.

Chris isn't normal, at all. But it's Ok. He's a Pisces, and we tend to be a little nutty. :P And I can't wait for the SS video! :dance: It's my favorite song from the album.

Oh, I'm sad to hear this!! She was the always on here when I first joined. She was one of the first people I really felt like I knew here. :nice: R.I.P.

He just walked by! It was a couple of hours before the show started, and he was alone. It was crazy! *edit* No, he didn't talk to us. :(

My mom totally loves the live cd they handed out and is sad I didn't get her a copy. It was one per person! :P

Ok, I need a place to rave about the lovely Chris Martin. :nice: I volunteered with Oxfam at the concert on Wednesday and we were all standing in a group while Soha, the leader, was describing what we had to do that night. And Chris just randomly walks by. O.o It's was odd because I totally adore this man along with the other members of the band and he just walked by like he wasn't famous or anything. That just made me love him more. :D And he was cracking jokes throughout the whole show. When the lights came up he was like, "Wow, there's a lot of you!" and before Yellow he says "We can't hear you guys. If there was anyone out there we would have played a song called Yellow." and the crowd went crazy. Best night ever. :nice:

I saw them live the other night, and I have to say that Guy Berryman is better looking in person, if that's even possible. He's mind-blowing in photos but seeing him up close was....whoa. :sweatdrop: The man is a work of art.

Hmm, I lurked for a couple of months before I joined. I still lurk occasionally because I don't have much time to actually post. I love this place. :nice:

Hmm. Someone in an earlier post had a good suggestion about taping them together. The only thing I can suggest is to not play you music that loud. I know that doesn't help with your current headphones, but with you next set a lower volume would help them last longer. Trying not to have the cords pulled and yanked would help too. If your like me and wrap your headphones around your iPod/mp3 player, don't wrap it around too tightly, etc.

*update I had the GREATEST time at the concert. :D And my friend who the party was for didn't even mind. And I graduated on Friday so I'm freeeeee. I win. :D Thanks for the kind words, everyone :nice:

I haven't posted in a while. But man do I need a somewhere to vent my current frustrations. God. Sometimes I really don't like my friends. I dont know if it's a teenage angst thing and I'm just way to mature to want to deal with their bullshit, but sometimes they can be really insensitive. Or maybe I'm just being extra sensitive because of my feminine issue right now. :uhoh: Ok. So Coldplay's coming into town on Wednesday, and I have been gearing up for this thing for at least two months. And I told all of my friends how excited I was and etc. And as usual they just shrug it off as one of my odd quirks and ignore me. I'd just like to say that I at least try to be supportive of my friends whenever things go their way. I don't know how to explain this. I have the neediest group of friends. I don't know, I seem to attract offbeat people, which is great, but some of those offbeat folks are just...fucking needy. And I'm such a fucking sucker that I NEED to help people constantly; my best friend for example is the neediest person I have ever EVER met. She's always doing something STUPID, and she comes crying to me begging me to help. Boys, drugs, you name it, one of my friends has a problem with it. :dozey: Anyway, long story short, I signed up to be an Oxfam volunteer to go to my favorite band's concert for free that I couldn't afford to go to otherwise. But I have a friend, one of the less needy ones, who is moving away and the group is throwing her a party on the same day as the concert. I'm the only one who can't go and it's crushing me. (i have to be at the venue at 4pm, concert's at 7pm). And all of my friends are being so fucking mean about it. I don't even think that the friend that the party is for would even mind, because my group of friends treated her like shit sophomore year of high school, and some people still treat her like shit and make fun of her just because she's different or whatever. I'm one of the few people that actually stayed by her and was a true friend. I will ALWAYS be there for her, I always have. I was the one that sat next to her at lunch when no one else did. I was the one that made her feel better when she was crying in the bathroom. And I'm glad that everyone's all buddy buddy now, but I don't appreciate everyone crying on my shoulder all the time, expecting me to be their rock, and then turn around and treat me like shit when I decide to do something for myself?! I'm always the person people turn to asking for help and advice, but when I need something, it's a fucking problem. Who's going to be my rock?! I'm sorry that I didn't stop to think, "Oh, my friends are going to throw a last minute party on May 20." when I was filling out the Oxfam application two months ago. I don't feel guilty for choosing my prior arrangements over some last minute party. I just wish I didn't get as much shit for it. And this isn't just about the concert, it's a daily thing. Like, my "best friend" is always begging me to help her get out of some stupid situation- some fucking loser boy, her parents, drugs- but when I say I can't hang out with her, or I hang out with my more "normal", less needy friends, she's the first one to throw me under the bus. Thank God I'm going to college in the fall and away from these assholes. I hope I can go to sleep now that I got that off of my chest.

So should we have tickets to the show or not? Or can we hang out in the back? At the VA Beach Amphitheatre there's a "lawn section" When Im done volunteering can I enjoy the show from the back? *Edit* I'm volunteering. :D That's why I'm asking all these questions.

Oh thank god. A place where I can complain and not feel guilty about it. WAAAAAAH. I'm so tired. And my weekend was totally devoted to the school play and I had ONE LINE. ONE. UNO. And it was my last play of my high school career, I'm saaaad. I'll miss all of my friends. Why am I attracted to broken people? All of my friends/crushes have something wrong with them. Does normality actually exist? Because I no nothing of it.

Happy Birthday! :D Im not sure I know you. HIIII, I'm Jenika! :D

You too! It's always great to see you online as well. :nice:

HI! I'm Ok, heading off to college this year. How have you been? I've missed you all! :nice: Yes yes, I will try to be a good listener to my friend.

Thanks for being so helpful. :nice: It's hard to be sympathetic when her self pity turns me off a little. But I'll try to be supportive as always. I'll tell her what you guys said. :)

Well, she told me she basically hates herself. ...the fuck? Ok. So I can help now that I know, but how? I hate this. :(

I haven't been here in ages, but I really need help, and you guys are always very helpful. :nice: Ok, so I have a friend, she's my best friend, and she's going through some stuff that she won't tell me about. I have no idea what's going on with her, but she's begging me to help her all the time. But I can't help her if she won't tell me what's wrong, right? I'm trying to respect her privacy, but every time I try to be optomistic and supportive she's always pushing me away and making me feel stupid for even trying. I can't explain it. When she's having an off day, I end up having a bad day too because she takes her shit out on me.I've always been there for her, and she's constantly asking me to help her, but I don't know if I can or want to anymore. Someone help ME, please. If you understand what I just said. Sorry.

I actually said what i wished to say to my friend just now via text and she hasn't responded. She's such a little brat and always taking her issues out on me when I try my hardest to be fucking supportive. And yeah... here's what I said. "Yes you do! I'm your fucking punching bag, shrink, and wet nurse half the time!"

OMG! OMG! OMG! They're going to be down the street from me two days before I graduate high school!

The Scientist and Amesterdam. They're really great songs and when Im down they seem to express that.

Good luck! :nice: Yeah, I just voted for him! :D
