    hello everybody!

    i slept in so late today. guess i was a lot more tired than i thought. and kinda sick feeling. we've been running ragged ever since we left the states - which is a pretty good thing. all these cool tv shows and acoustic performances. i got extremely hoarse yesterday morning before Radio 1. that's part of the reason I'm in bed all day today. some days you gotta do that for yourself. i guess.

    so here i am, layin here and drinking one of these "detox" juice drinks. very delicious. i should probably eat something soon. maybe watch some kind of chick flick. wonder what the guys are doing today!? shopping, no doubt about it.

    tomorrow is another day off... sorta. i have one interview all by my lonesome. maybe i'll get out and do something with my life after that. we're all ready to play this islington show. it's gonna be so awesome to come back around full circle... the first club we ever played in London. just paying our respects to the fans that were there first. we're really sorry that a lot of you couldn't get tickets. it's sort of the risk we took to do something small and low key. the smaller the room, the fewer tickets. to be honest, if it was my choice we'd play some 400 cap room like underworld (is it underground or underworld, i can never get it straight!). but that just REALLY wouldn't be fair.

    it's such a weird problem to have that we can't play certain small venues because there are too many fans now. it's an amazing problem. just never imagined it'd be a problem that WE would have. kudos to you guys for getting us here!

    so you guys liked the cover of "use somebody" yesterday? i was so nervous about it. they are so mother effin' popular.. didn't want to screw it up and piss people off. but anyways, all the comments and tweets and everything made us feel so good about it. hopefully KOL are as into it as everyone else seems to be. what if they hated it? hahah oh dear.

    i just realized how close we are to putting out this darn record. only about a couple weeks! give or take a few days. it's about time. all the reviews have been amazing. can't believe it. we've never been that band. critics usually find more than one way to say how whiney i am or how much we still have to learn being that we're so young. this has been a completely different experience. it feels good. but in the end, what you guys think is what actually matters. little articles and columns don't matter that much in the big scheme of things.

    gotta question, we are wanting to bring back the orange baseball hoodie for our fall tour... would you guys be into that? cause we had to price match No Doubt's hoodie on the summer tour. this time i think it'd be a little cheaper ;P

    i gotta go... headache city over here. talk to you soon... thanks for reading my rambling.

I lost my friggin' toothpaste all the time! LOL! I loved the baseball hoodie-thingie. I bought it in red, at Hot Topic. All my friends are like, where'd you get that? And interrogating me and such...LOL. But, really, I've got all of them to buy it! About the whole ticket/small venue thing...at least those fans are lucky enough to go! But I completely understand, Hayley. =) I'm a rather new fan, so I've missed all those awesome chances to hit the concerts. I might convince my mom to take me to NJ for Bamboozle, though...at least YOU'RE TOURING THE US THIS SUMMER! LOL, that realization has still got me going.

oh lord that radio 1 interview was on during my 8 hour shift at work and i think i annoyed all my co wrokers cos i refused to move from the radio haha i was serving customers like a zombie cos i was trying to talk and listen all at once also i kept laughing out loud at hayley and the screaming of the fans i am sorry to say i would probably do the same haha, must be weird to hear on your end =] see you in december! *glomp*

Haha i looked up on the internet how to make your own toothpaste! haha! really...it was v.weird. but too cool, at the same time!!! I dont want to try it though! and dont try it either! actually scrap what i just said, DONT TRY IT! seriously, thats like the opening credit of TDI! (Total Drama island!) its SO cool, its a cartoon, but its closer to southpark than a kids show, its so funny. Chris Mc Clain! oh yeah! "i even said it to chef last night, i said chef i didnt want it to come to this" i think there going to be a 3rd one too, the second one is TDA (total drama action) its funny. Eh you'll find it on youtube mainly, and im not sure when its on in The states, so i guess youtube is your best bet. but seriosuly LOOK it up, tell me what you think of it. HAHA talk about rambling. meh i dont have much more to say but i have 1160 words left, has anyone filled them up all yet? im sure they have.... OH i know what i wanted to ask! Haley, you know when people (Maybe you do, im not sure, ive never been to a concert of your but thats going to change in December 12th! cant wait! but sooo not the point right now) put there hands down, and they just kind of give everyone high fives, does anyone every catch someones hand (the person whose singing) and drag them off stage? weird question, but has that every happened? to you> or anyone you know, ? you'd be kicked out super fast i guess. Oh im not going to try it though...do you ever give shout outs? to people? not just a country like "Heloooo Ireland!" but to people, like managers? anyway im starting to mispell, never a good sign, hat i should keep talking. and i know that this whole thing is long, but kudos if you read it all, i probably wouldnt. so THANKS if you did. Bye cee yo

no probs hayley to listen to your rambling. i just think its awesomely amazing that you write to your fans so much. filling them in on your life like they were on of your best friends. you are an amazing person and not just part of my favorite band ever but an inspiration to my life. each and every one of your songs i can relate to with what i believe they mean...haha! but no you are a great song writer with just pouring your heart and soul out on paper for thousands and millions of people to hear and feel a part of. i can't tell you enough how much you and the rest of the crew have changed my life in a great uplifting way. i thank you so much!!!! hope the rest of the tour i great for you and the guys! Marissa ;P ps. next tour please come to portland, or. i have been dying to see you again and hopefully be part of a meet and greet. that would make my day, no wait it would make my LIFE!!!!!!!!

Hi Hayley, I don't know the chances of you seeing this, bit I decided that I would leave it to you anyway.I don't know if you remember or not, but when you were touring with No Doubt, when you guys went to Arlington, Va. (Washington DC) my friend got a meet and greet and I had to stay behind. He gave you a letter that I wrote you though. I'm not sure if you read it or not, but I just was hoping, praying.... that you did. I poured my heart out in that letter, because I was looking forward to seeing you, but then Tyler only got one meet and greet. You were amazing live, and it was my biggest dream to see my inspiration in person. Thank-you for inspiring me the way that you have. It means the world. I want to do the same for people, though the chances of that happening are very slim. Just know that the music you and the guys produce is way more than music to me. I love listening to you. I have already preordered your new CD, and I am awaiting the day that it is shipped to me so I can overplay it the way I have with your previous albums. I know that this probably won't happen, but... If you could please, please maybe email me, or something, I would appreciate it more than you could ever know. I would do anything to meet you, Hayley. Thank-you for being one of the reasons I carry out my biggest passion, and that's singing and performing. So, if you would please, I would love to recieve an email from you. vanna.mae@gmail.com
