*Covers mouth* *Tries really, REALLY hard to not burst into fits of giggles*

Wooo, check them out, being on that list. I don't know what that converts to in U.S. dollars, but I know it's A LOT, whatever the number is. Now that's a glam couple if ever there was one. They both looked absolutely stunning that night.

YES. This shall be a mission of sorts :nod:. Kristal deserves this as much as anyone else.

You got it, Row *Crosses everything yoga style, like Chris does* :). Hope you manage to get a good rest in at some point, too. Someone was listening to a bit of Beck when they made this song...Beck and...some other artist, but I can't think of who it is. Love the song, though. Naturally :lol:. Photos like this never fail to brighten my day or mood. Ever. After the exhausting week I've been having, I could sure use this.

I REALLY like these huge closeup photos. I just wanted to state that. Ellen, have fun at Buble's show! :laugh3: I would've done the same thing. Hell, I remember once my mom and I were coming home and the radio was on, and that song came on. I'm looking out the window, a big, goofy smile on my face...and then another car comes up beside us and the driver looked over in my direction. And then it got awkward :lol:. But yes, that song never fails to make me smile/giggle to myself every time I hear it. Can't. Stop. Staring. (That dance is SO CUTE! Boogie down, Chris!)

GOD, I love that white shirt on Chris... Hehe, glad you like :D. He shouldn't tease us like that, no. (But I sure am glad he does :lol:.) *Cackles* So do I :sneaky:. Welcome back, by the way! Hi to Teerna, nice to have you here! I'm Angela. My name's not hard to pronounce, but apparently some people find it hard to spell-I've seen it spelled Anglea or Angelia before, and had a few people over the years ask, "How do you spell that?" With that issue I'm just thankful I don't have my mom's maiden name as my last name! Row, so glad to hear things went well with the interview and such! That's excellent news, hope to hear more good news on that front as soon as possible :hug:. As always, fingers are crossed! Ariel, sending on good luck vibes with your speech. I've no doubt you'll do fine :). OH, BABY...*Fans self* Flexible Chris is doing all sorts of wonderful things to my mind right now. Uh-huh. Yep. *Is officially a soccer fan* *Mutters something about the old phrase "tall drink of water"...* I loved all the confetti pictures from the picspam, too, he looked like he was just having the time of his life in those :D. Congrats on 1,000 posts, that was one HELL of a picspam! I loved your captions, too :lol:. I'm paying attention. Oh, am I EVER paying attention. I have to leave for work in about an hour. These images should prove to be a wonderful distraction for the evening.

:nod: :thumbsup: Agreed.

Hehehehe. I love the "Invisible Buckland" one, too :lol:. Looking at the colors on Chris's arms and right pant leg and whatnot in this picture, he looks like he just came back from a paintball fight :p.

:laugh3: This, I love so much :heart:.

Ergh, hope the rain lets up, and hope you're able to find your way about through the bad weather. Again, best of luck, Row, keep us posted on how things went :). Pillows would be lovely indeed, for all sorts of reasons :nod:. Yeah, so I REALLY like this one a lot...

Awwwwwww, no, I'm sorry! But on that "being in your town" note, so...I wouldn't be weird for hoping that when they're traveling from Chicago to St. Paul in August that they go through Iowa on their way to get there and just perhaps happen to pass through my town? :lol: (Not going to happen in a million years, I'm sure, but hey, a girl can dream, right?)

Looks like they're chasing each other's tails :lol:. Oh, the endlessly pervy twists and turns this thread takes...:laugh3:.

Was going to say, that cotton candy thing sounded just a WEE bit on the pervy side...:lol:. His hair DID get awfully frizzy/mane-ish there, yeah? I think there are times he sort of has an '80s era Danny Elfman thing going on with his hair in that era, which is...a strange thing to think of. But anywho...to each their own, no pouncing on you from me :). Anytime we get to see Chris laugh and smile is a good time :heart:. This is a good era, too :nod:. SIGH...*Feels lightheaded and slightly woozy* Like it wasn't warm enough already here today...good freaking LORD, ladies...*Grabs fan and cranks it up* (Row, ooh, job interview? Good luck! Fingers crossed for you :hug:! And good luck and :hug:s to anyone else who needs them)

...yeah, HI...:stunned:

Morning, Row! Hope all goes well at work :). Finally got a chance to watch this. I don't know where to begin, I loved this so much. Such funny stories, such charming men...:heart:. Thank you so much for sharing this. Also, the words "close up" in the title of that link do NOT lie. There are some...uh...REALLY nice shots in that interview *Drools profusely* By the way, Ariel, speaking of "Ring of Fire", if you loved that one, then here's another video of them doing that song for you to enjoy: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV7taV9IOhs]Coldplay - Ring Of Fire (Live @ Toronto) - YouTube[/ame]

That is a very cute picture, agreed :). :laugh3: He does look like he's asking for one! I love that teddy bear picture :heart:. I want one*! *a teddy bear. But, you know, I'd take the men that are in the photo, too :lol:. :nod: *Starts plotting how to get Chris here. Works on convincing argument for her mom* "He said I could have him!"

*Wants to be that girl* I absolutely LOVE their version of that song :heart:. It's so, so, SO good. I know, right :wink3:? I want to know who sang, "Come on, Barbie, let's go party" :lol:! First Mara, now you. Great minds once again! I like this idea :nod:. Yeah, hope some of these suggestions help you, that'd be great. As for what picture to pick? Uhhhhhhhh...tough choice, 'cause I quite liked ALL the photos you shared. But if I HAD to pick... ...these are the ones I'd narrow it down to (I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I have just a wee bit of a thing for the Viva era look :lol:). Like I said, though, I was loving all of your pictures, so I can see where it'd be a very, very tough choice.

Agreed, LdySpace, on the face and hands. I'm loving his arms in those gifs, as always...again, the rolled up sleeves just do it for me. Also, I find that shirt draws a lot of attention to his chest. It's just snug enough. And the hair is perfect as well. I could pretty much stare at those gifs all day, is what I'm saying :lol:.

Ah, glad to finally here it, thank you! I LOVE the music in the song. Simply gorgeous. Very haunting. And of course, love the bit from Chris, very lovely :). And did I seriously hear Wayne sing the first few lines of "Imagine" at the start? Think he even made a slight reference to "Seasons in the Sun" at one point, too. Neat :p.

Hmmmm, Ariel...maybe run a favorite song of theirs through your head beforehand (or if you were able to sneak your music in and actually play something beforehand, you could do that?)? I'm sure Chris still gets nerves from time to time, so maybe think of that fact, and do what you think he'd do (or what he's said he does, if he has) if he were nervous about being in front of people? As for helping calm you down...something light and super funny, despite being very short: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0sQs7JPQSk]Barbie Girl Live - Coldplay - YouTube[/ame] Enjoy :D. Caroline, agh, you're so lucky you get to see them twice! Hope you have a wonderful time! LOL. Aw, hey, c'mon, that's not fair to the Egyptian people. Maybe another galaxy works better? He was. He really was *Nods*. Hehe. Yes, no fighting, or so help me I'll turn this...uh...thread around and go home! Or something. Uh-huh. Pretty much sums it up. Too tempting for words. Heeeee, I love that video :lol:! Excellent choice for her. SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohhhhh, this is all sorts of lovely, this is. You're quite welcome :)! And thank you for the gifs! All of these songs are beautiful :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:. That "Scientist" performance was perfection, as always. Thanks for sharing them. And yet I can't help myself...from "Ladder to the Sun": "If you want me, then you can have me." Really, Chris? *Raises eyebrows* :sneaky:

Thanks :). Hehe. I have a very odd sense of humor, so I'm glad someone enjoys it. I blame my dad, I inherited my humor from him. LMAO, oh, no... No fighting, everyone! Peace *Makes peace sign*! I think he has an idea people find him attractive, probably, but I think he still doesn't understand why, if that makes sense. He's still as self-deprecating as ever about himself. But yes, there was a seriously awkward quality about him in the early days that was really endearing. Right! I completely forgot about that train being there. And nobody else was grabbing their ears, so I guess it just never factored in for me. But that would certainly explain everything. LOL at the mummy comment (your boss went to Egypt?! Wow. What for?). Hope work goes well :).

:laugh3: ^^ Yes, agreed, great review, Ellen. Going to be hard to top that. By "full report", I'm presuming that means we go through all the songs the way Ellen did? My thoughts as follows:

Just popping back in to comment on THIS, since I'm listening to it right now: Mother of all that is good and holy, this is THE most gorgeous version of this song I've ever heard in my life, hell, it's one of the most gorgeous Coldplay-related things EVER, period. I am absolutely in love with this and fully agree that it sounds so very intimate. Thank you so, SO much for sharing this, Lory. I also love the other "Yellow" video shared in here, the one where Chris bops himself in the nose with the guitar. Excellent performance of the song. And :censored: hell, does Chris look hot in the clip. Especially when he's out front, guitar off to the side, standing there with the microphone. Thanks for sharing that clip as well.

Haha, yeah, if he'd known any of us back then I'm sure that problem would've been solved quite quickly :p. I love the look on his face in that picture. Did someone say something funny? Is he trying to make the others laugh? Questions...

That's a good way of describing it. And that's why I personally call a draw. Because both options can be attractive, depending on the people.
