If I kissed your neck, would you slit my throat?

Obligatory Brand New lyric, see above. Kudos to anyone who can tell me which song it's from. I am kind of a Brand New-a-holic, it's getting disturbing and awfully inane. I can honestly say that Deja Entendu is my favourite release of the year, it's the most emotional and powerful record I've heard in a long time. People have been saying that their sound has completely changed and that their music isn't as good, but like Radiohead's evolution, I believe it's better. Well, hm. I take that back. It depends on my mood, actually. Whether I want something lighter or more intense. Either way, I love all of their music, it's kind of roundabout. If Jesse ever needs a female guest vocalist, I'm ready and willing. I can do what Melanie Wills did in From Autumn to Ashes' "Short Stories with Tragic Endings" except without the screaming and more of Vinnie's guitar helicopters. Anyway.

Aaron and I went to DC on the 27th. Strangely enough, it was my first time in the city. My excuse is that I'm Canadian, I'll use it in full force. It was a really nice time, he's quite a nice guy. We were pretty much left alone other than a random teenaged girl yelling, "AREN'T YOU THAT GUY WHO LEFT GOOD CHARLOTTE?!" at the top of her lungs when we were eating at Outback Steakhouse. I think the manager either shut her up or kicked her out, 'cause she was gone not too long after her hissy fit began. I really don't understand people these days at all. It's not as if musicians are some sort of wraithlike beings, they're just regular people like you and I and Jack's mom. They are simply people who have a knack and a talent for music, that's all. When people freak out when they see me (though that's pretty much over for now, seeing as I'm unemployed), I sort of don't really know what to think. The funniest thing in the entire world was the fact that when I was on MuchMusic or on tour, everyone loved me because I was the lead singer of LiveonRelease. When I went to school in the day, everyone hated me for the same reason. It was kind of twisted, maybe the people at school didn't think I was worthy of anything because they'd grown up with me and they actually realized that I'm a normal girl, but I just found the whole thing quite interesting.

I believe tomorrow's the start of Sum 41's tour of Europe with New Found Glory. The 30th has arrived so quickly? It's strange, it seems as if just yesterday I was asking Cone if I could fly to Ajax to live with him for a bit because neither of us could wait so long to see each other again.

The universe has a bad sense of humour.

I've said this often. It's one of the interesting aspects of being a musician. People look up to you and emulate you, for what I think is really no good reason at all. If Placebo can express our message of understand and freedom, we've done something positive well beyond our music. But we are also mere men with regular problems, hang-ups and insecurities. Being a musician is hardly a reason for my words to hold any more weight than the next bloke. And honestly, I live my life in a fashion that I wouldn't want others to; I like excess. The whole fact that people watch you under a microscope bakes me terribly self conscious.

Hah, 'really no good reason at all.' That's sadly true. And I agree. I'm kind of happy in a sense that we didn't become hugely popular. If we did, I'd be recognized everywhere and that'd get horrible after a while.

Right, well just because someone is in the public eye doesn't mean they should be emulated. I'm not sure where the logic is in admiring someone you know so little about.

Fame is an interesting beast. Funny how we all crave it and then once you get it, it can be your enemy.

I just wanted to let you know that I had a lot of fun hanging out with you.

Call me and maybe we can take another mini-vacation when you get back from the UK.
