I know. It really does rock.

They're growing up so fast too...*sniff*

It seems like only yesterday they were playing at the VMAs

Yeah...I can remember first seeing them on Letterman. I remember being like "WTF? That rules!" How the Vines do rock.

Ya. When he totally like.. freaked out.. dunno if thats the word, but you know what I mean. Craig is fucking birlliant

Alright luv, Im off to bed. Gottsa get up early to chas my check and then do soem easter shopping for shit to clutter moms easter basket with.

night!

I totally didn't buy "easter presents" this year. I'm too broke.

I colored more eggs! Woo! My mom changed the blue dye into purple with food coloring and it came out really weird and black-ish violet. I made some rad looking eggs with it.

Letterman was one of my all-time favorite live appearances. I've never had the priveledge of seeing them in concert (yet), but I actually remember watching the letterman thing, and then seeing clips of it on MTV later on. I remember Craig freaking out, and then somersaulting over the couch and I was just amazed because he was just too awesome. Still is!

I can't wait until they really get out there again. I hope they tour. I really will travel far and wide to see them. My Vines fund is still running strong....got about a three dollars and nineteen cents! Woo!

If they come to the US and only stop like 1 or two times, we should go together. Imexcited for the boys to get out there again, whether or not they come here.


I gotta color eggs tonight when i get home from work. *sigh of relief* My last day! Yay!

Awesome! You should freak out on a random customer, because it's your last day anyway. Throw food and go postal. It'd rock!

We should go! I'm going to any and all US shows they have. Well, at least I hope I am.

I'm pissed that the US sucks ass and we don't get any good Vines-ness, but I'm happy that people are getting into them again. They really are a great band and they deserve it.

I'd kill to go to Austrailia though!

I walked out early today. The manager was pissing me off. I didnt throw food but I did tell hr to fuck off really loud. It was sweet.

Im going next summer. You should save up and come with. Probably stay for a couple of week.. month..

If The Vines are playing at all, Im definetly catching a show there. Thatd be sweet, seeing them is Aus.

Aw man that'd rock! About how much is it? Are you going like, this coming summer? Or next summer? I'm so down with that! I probably wont wanna leave!
If I saw the Vines play live there my life would be complete!

Im going next summer. I went this summer and the summer before I went to Mexico.. I decided Im going to stay in the country this time


It will be a couple thousand... expensive I know, but its so worth it. Sydney (where Im plaing on going) is such a beautiful city.

nobodies going to australia without me!!!

Alright....now I gotta start an Austrailia fund!
I've always wanted to travel. If I can get decent enough grades through the next couple years I can request that whatever university I transfer to, send me abroad. I've always wanted to go to Europe.

But, I'd definately go! Sounds kickass! What did you do there when you went?

hey I've been thinking of studying abroad too!! but in scotland not australia.

Duh! You rock Emu!

Unfortunately enough for us, HVCC doesnt do the study abroad. Their idea of sending us away is like Albany or something.

lol yeah I know

When I went , i went with People to People Student Ambassadors. We started in Sydney and travelled up the East coast. We did pretyt much everything there is to do in Australia.. except for meet The Vines

We climbed the Sydney Harbor Bridge, visisted the Sydney Opera House, sorkled the Great Barrier Reef, feed wild Dolphins at Tangalooma, visited with the Aborigines, met govern. officals, meet Steve Irwin (he was a riot), I got hold a koala, stayed with an Aussi family, surfed, deep sea fished, ummmm... and a shit load more that I cant think of right now.

We were there for 22 days. It was fun.

When we were un Sydney, we were walking through this suburb adn we waled by this mailbox that said 'Nicholls' on it. Of course my heart dropped and I froze even though I knew there was like a 99.9% chance it wasnt his.. but hey, cant blame a girl. Everyone made fun of me after that

Wow, sounds like an awesome time.

Haha! I woulda done the same exact thing with the mailbox thing!

I so wanna go to Australia now.

We're going, dont worry.

Man it'll be badass.

I'm gonna be tempted to hunt down the Vines when we're there though. Just so you know now.

Ill probably be wanting to do the same thing


Just think.. While I was there in Sydney.. the guys were somewhere near by recording the new album

That's awesome. Too bad you didnt bump into them in a Walmart, or something.

I went Bearsville, where WD was recorded, with my friends and I was sitting there thinking "They were here! Just two hours away from me! What the hell is wrong with me? Why didn't I get all stalk-tastic?!" But I don't think anyone knew they were there at the time, only after. But it was awesome to be there and think that.

I really am stoked to even think of going to Aus.

And with one of the latest interviews, Hamish said they are probably going to do some shows in Sydney to get back on the train in about a year... About a year from now is next summer!

I know, I read that and I was bummed because I was like "Sure....no US..." but now...

Again, seeing them live, AND going to Australia = Happy, happy Jess.

I so wanna meet them too. I absolutely have to meet Craig. I'd probably seem like such a dork if I ever met him. Man, I cant even imagine what I'd ever say.

Me and you walk up to him all speechless.. he looks at us like we're fucking insane.. You start to drool. I can see it now!

Yeah, I'm the drooling one.

I might even mumble a bit and shove a piece of paper at him all "askfjbgbgsign sgbjbgbautograph.."

I'm sure it'll go over well...

I'll just be there starring at him.. I might even squek hi.. but ill be frozen

I just hope I can remain conscious. I might even attempt to say something witty, and fail miserably.

You can distract him while I walk around him to look at his ass properly

Alright...but be sure to snap a pic while your back there!

Ill snap 20

MMkay good. I should bring LOTS of film then...can never get enough of the Craig-ness!

Screw film, Im going Digital

Even better!

I wonder what he's like in person. You think he's different than, like, how he appears in videos and stuff?

A lot of people who I have talked to whos met him said hes very shy and polite.

I'd be so intimidated by him if he's shy and stuff. I'm really shy so I know I'd be waiting for him to talk or something, and if he didn't then the whole us standing there staring, me drooling scenario is pretty accurate.

I know, Im really shy too. But maybe together we can be brave

Yeah, hopefully!

We just gotta remind ourselves that it's Craig and that it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and all that.

I'm nervous just imagining it!

Me 2!

We're such dorks!

I'm proud of my dorkiness!

loud and proud!

Damn straight!

What should I paint a picture of? I'm itching to paint something.

paint the picture of craig breaking the lamp! or ryan

I'm not that talented. I can pull off simple things, but those would be really complicated for me. Although I DO love the lamp pic...

paint a really really blurry picture of Ryan and Craig snoggin or something

well you did craig with the microphone freakin perfect. you dont give yourself enough credit!

I've not been in here before...what am i missing??

the most random randomness EVER!




Im going to make ome food and dye my hair.. back in a bit

I'm telling you, the microphone looked like a giant penis in Craig's face!

Ooh....what color ya dyeing it?

LOL!!!!!! it did not I could totally tell it was a microphone. hilarious mental image on that penis comment by the way

Well, it was fitting with angie's suggestion of the



And it was very penis-tastic
