    Hey. :)

     

    So I'm currently in Kirkuk, Iraq as a combat medic for Operation Iraqi Freedom VII (I like to call it OIF VII:  Muppets in Iraq) and I am going on leave in a couple weeks.

     

    I was fortunate to get to actually choose the time I wanted to go on leave and get it - see, my little sister's birthday is on the 28th of April and she doesn't know that I am coming.  I've notified her teachers and my parents have (miraculously) managed to keep quiet to her about it.  That being said, it will no doubt be a big surprise for her and shennanigans will ensue (as they usually do with me, lol).

    I am going to be attending the Knoxville, TN concert and I have a request.

    I would really like to be able to get a video of Hayley wishing my little sister Dominique a happy birthday, and getting to meet her would really make my leave.  I've watched The Final Riot! on my ITouch and listened through every album and bootleg I could scrounge online and it has gotten to the point that my days here don't pass smoothly if I don't get to rock out and headbang to Born For This, or get heartsick and homesick when We Are Broken starts playing.  I actually have something for Hayley and the guys as well.  I bought this little stuffed bear with a Kirkuk Air Base t-shirt on, and I've been getting people to write their names on it in sharpie.  I've also been taking pictures of it in different places around where I work (a traffic checkpoint on a busy 4-lane).  For the guys, I have camo sombreros.

     

    Please, Hayley, Josh, Zac, Taylor, Jeremy, somebody...help grant a homeward-bound (at least for a couple weeks) wish! :/

Thats an amazing story but I don't think this the right place to post it. Were just Paramore fans,the band doesn't read any of these discussions. DONT GIVE UP THOUGH!! The Band got a letter from a fan in the UK who wanted to be invited on stage to propose to his Girlfriend and they let him do it. Than they played The Only Exception and dedicated it to them.
Idk exactly where you write them letters but I'd ask around and send them one. And I'd also tweet Hayley Williams for a couple of days and then tweet Taylor or Jeremy. (Taylor & Jeremy still have a lot of followers but a lot less than Hayley). Good luck

Thank you for serving its an honor to have someone like you on the site.

well, that's a lovely story. but i think you should post it somewhere else too, to let it spread. to get hayley to give your sister that birthday wish, you should tweet her until your fingers come off. that's the easiest way to reach her.

go! start tweeting!
