^ same here, what a coincidence ;)

I should be working on an essay, but I'm too frustrated with the assignment right now to work on it!

I think I'm getting more self-conscious by the day, and it's starting to get really hard. There are lots of things that I would like to do, but I'm just too afraid. I seriously hate myself.

Ugggh I'm so stressed out! I can't do this!

I can hear Jonny...:uhoh:

This (well this morning anyway). Looks like we're getting an early start to Winterpeg.

Whether it is a good change or not is a matter of opinion. That's not to say that I love the new stuff and will defend it to the ends of the earth; I still like the first two albums the best. But I also think that it's pretty immature for people to see Coldplay's new direction as personal attack against their fans. They can't tailor their music to what a handful of fans want to hear, they are going to write what they want to write and there's not much we can do about it.

Yes but at least he copied himself. :P

To everyone who is complaining about Coldplay moving in a new direction I have this to say: I totally see where you are coming from because I prefer their older stuff as well, however, if they had never changed their music and had played the same kind of stuff forever, you would all be complaining that all of their music is the same! People change, things change, music changes. Get over it.

I like the song, but definitely will never be one of my favourites. It's fairly catchy, but more of a sad-catchy rather than a happy-catchy song (if that makes any sense!!). I love the instrumentals all the way through, especially the strings in the beginning. However I think that the lyrics could have been better. I like some of them, but there are others that I was kind of ehhhhh about. The "para-para-paradise" sounds like something that could be used in a tv-show promo, so I'm sure we will be hearing it somewhere. I don't think it will make it to the radio very often (at least not where I live, where only the top 20 charts are played!), and I can't see it being a huge favourite among fans, but it's definitely growing on me.

Well I've only listened to it once, so my first impression is to give it a 7. It's not my favourite Coldplay song and it's not my least favourite. I'm sure it will grow on me as do most songs. I have to say that I like the "every tear is a waterfall" lyric, because I love how they also carry over certain lyrics between songs. I love the instrumentals at the beginnning.

I want to cook something now. :bomb: But I can't because I'm in a dorm!!!

A U of M hoodie. Oh, and $800 dollars worth of textbooks. :blank:

I wish I had a tracklisting for the tape I received. :bigcry:

I'll be chilling on campus tomorrow...I moved in to residence yesterday and am still getting used to everything. :P

Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you, I have been changed for good. :heart:

For Good - Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth (from Wicked) :bigcry::bigcry:

The whole score of Wicked! I saw the musical yesterday and was absolutely blown away!

I don't really know any Lil Wayne songs, but I have a feeling that I wouldn't like them. :P tnp has talked on the phone today

Swallow asparagus?

I went to Cuba with my high school jazz band when I was in grade 11. So many good memories :) What did you eat for lunch today?

Pulling on a Line - Great Lake Swimmers :heart:

One Republic, The Fray, and Snow Patrol are all pretty similiar to Coldplay.
