Craigie-J

Before... I got to say Happy Birthday And after!!! :D

I have a pic of one of the things I got signed, I have a pic of it before Jonny signed it, then after he signed it, I'll upload riiiight now! ... ;)

I really wish so, but after meeting him before, I have to say that our "relationship" (hahaha, omg that sounds ridiculous) is kind of too casual to allow photos tbh. I can't explain it, but, he knows me by name and face, and knows lots about me and why I'm in London, and the band, and just lots of other stuff I can't really go into. ... hmm, perhaps next time? lol

And yes, Chris was very buff, but had long-sleeved "attire" (?? lol) today, so it was not so noticeable... he just looks so healthy, like his skin and everything, just really a glow about him and he looked really good fo-sho ;)

Thanks guys. I love sharing this with people, wish my family/friends got how huge this all is, well, one or two of 'em do, but not many :/ Anyway, let me try and make some of you a tiny bit jealous perhaps? And say this... today... I got HUGGED BY CHRIS "God himself" MARTIN!!! omg :o *that felt just amazing, and ...

P.S for all the fangirls out there, and, well even for all us guys, I just need to say this: Guy was absolutely smoking hot! His smile, exspecially when talking at the same time, just sends shivers down your spine... seriously, he is just ugh!!! :wink3: haha Oh and Chris, well, looking into his eyes is seriously like looking into a different universe, and it just blew my mind today... I am completely straight (no seriously, believe me, I AM!!! :P ) but c'mon, t's not like we haven't all looked at Chris before and thought ...just... YEAH :stunned: And Jonny, looked kinda cute... that is all. :)

I don't go visit their houses or anything like that, seriously hope that is not aimed at me lol, but on June 15th, and again today, well I'm just ridiculously lucky tbh, and there is very little else too it... tbh, I don't deserve this luck, but screw it, I'm taking it!!! :D FYI I just met Jonny too, I gave him a birthday card, and so did my friend... and I gave him something which my friend and fellow huge coldplay-fan (bigger than me probably, but I never said that! :o ) gave me ... it was a letter and 3 photographs of her family holding a sign for jonny saying happy birthday from a gig last year at this time. And he talked to us just for maybe 5-6 minutes, and I actually wished him happy birthday from everyone here at coldplaying (hope it wasn't like "not my place" to do that or whatever) and he liked that too, very much! :) All in all, another life-changing day for me. Time for a siggy and actually avi change imo...

Off to drop off a card and some other little things to Jonny right now ;)

Well Mich... Phil said that they always seem to finish a huge bulk of songs together... he was very confident anyway, but said that the last 2 months have not been as completely productive as first imagined. But he also said "You can't rush things like this!" lol ;)

p.s. I'll post a pic or two soon ;)

I'd just like to say that I met Chris, Guy and later Phil again today and chatted to them for a while. Chris and Guy signed a couple of things for me and it was just fantastic! But, their ain't gonna be a release for Christmas now that is for sure. Chris said that although they are close to finishing lots of songs, they have not actually finished anything at all yet :o ... (even wedding bells!!!) and he said there'd be no chance of the album coming out for Christmas. Phil said the same, and that even if they were finished by now, there would not be enough time for EMI to sort all of the "fiddly bits" which need to be sorted, in time. Also, I asked about how long the tour would be starting, after the album release, since for viva it was really soon, and Phil said that they'd leave a slightly longer gap this time. ;) That is really all the info I could scoop for you all lol, :)

I am gonna get Jonny a Birthday card and drop it in to him tomrrow along with a little messaage and a photo of something which I'm sure he will like a lot :) I wonder what type of card to get him though, I have already looked for one, but n luck, and I'm rubbish with cards anyway :/ Any help?

Okay, well there is no other "source" I can give for this, but, the band are probably finished with the Beehive now. Or at least finished recording there. Guessing it is good news, means they are close to finishing than we all think or something? ... But they've been in NY for 2 months now, well, Chris has at least, and is still there, and when he hasn't been surfing and living the high life, I'm sure he has been working hard! ;) ... Just hope an xMas release is gonna happen now!

If only you knew what is really going on at the beehive! :P I hope the crazier ones among us didn't cause this, but it aint all good news.

I already had that idea lol, but great nonetheless... thoughtful ;) (p.s. I am the same person as coldplaying-forever27 btw, I just accidentally logged into my old account, but what I said till goes!)

Not bad! :D

I saw Jonny on Friday in Hampstead, only moved here on Wednesday, being so lucky all over again!!! :D I'm gonna drop a little birthday gift/card over to his house on his birthday, if anyone else would like to do the same, or wants me to drop one in for him, do let me know asap, still a little bit of time left ofc ;)

Yep, Scientist from Toronto kicks ass, waaay better than the Glasto one tbh. And, yep, my favourite ever live performance! :D

I CAN doubt it's credentials. I miss the music that actually means something. I listen to the old stuff, i.e absolutely any of the first 3 albums, and I hear Chris, I hear his songwriting, I hear the emotion and the meaning inside him. Brian Eno, and his stupid fuc-k-ing letter, telling Chris he is "banned" from his own studio fo a few weeks, have actully destroyed the beauty in their music. I really have faith in Chris, and I know that someday, he might listen back to all of his work, and realise that he has stopped writing stuff he cares about, and has emotion for. Then, I hope he says "Screw it, we did great before, and we wrote The Scientist, Fix You, Yellow, Amsterdam, Trouble, Shiver, What If, and sooo many more, which actually mean something to people... we need to do that again!!!" ____ Btw, I became a fan through VLV believe it or not, and as an item, a singular album, from start to finish, LiT to Escapist, it is still very beautiful, and a great album after all... just that CP don't make great albums, they make the best ever albums, and this is not it. :(

I still think the might release it guys :D Look at Gravity, they gave that (unbelievably beutiful" song away to, erm, well, guys who like Nat, can be considered a total flop. Yet they still recorded and released their own version since, as a b-side ofc. I have a feeling they will do the same with Lukas actually... and let's be frank, it WILL be far better than Natalie's version, just like our version of Gravity was far superior to Embrace's attempt ;) Roll on LP5 B-side I say! :)

I do believe however, that going and ringing the dorbell, is just not good at all :\

From personal experience :cool: ... I know that R#42 has been giving too much away, in terms of where the band currently are. In the recent blog, he said they were going back to work from Budapest soon, to the Beehive ofc. You can all use this to your advantage next time he posts a blog, because he might well say something like that again.

I should probably stop plugging my beautiful book and the day I had haha, but I think not! :P Therefore, I'll say that Matt deserves at least that, he was so nice to me in person, on the day, and I've never said this before, but somehow, he offered to sign my book, and I kinda said no to him!!! :o omg, it wasn't a straight-forward "no", but still, wtf was I thinking??? :confused:

Possibly a fantastisk idea Carrie (??? omg I'm so sorry if I got that wrong :( ... tbh, I'm too lazy to check your name on my fb friends list haha :embarrassed: ) I'm sure he wouldn't mind the extra sale, athough I might mind the cost lol, but if I wait for my friend to move here, I'm sure she'll bring her copy ;) (sorry Matt... :( )

Can't believe I still haven't read the book though, being forced by my friend to wait until she moves to London, wants to read it together! Aw... :thinking: ... plus I kinda don't want to touch it any more, incase of damage etc.
