Balancing Acts 2

Aw Sari, I always love your big "HEY GUYS!" posts And Stephen is my heeeero. I actually haven't watched him and Jon that much in a while, which is tragic, but it makes me happy that you associate him with me because he's basically my favorite person ever. And just judging by the fact that he's way into the Foos...I definitely approve of this boyfriend character.

Also Lexus, I thought I replied to this before but the boy is quite cute indeed

As Lana Lou knows, the main thing in my life right now is trying to decide whether I want to spend the next four years of my life in New York or Boston, which is proving harder than it should be.

The Fool On The Hill:

Aw he is a cutie Are you gonna visit him for Easter?

He's gonna come stay for a few days just after Easter, I'm super excited, we're going to the Safari Park.

GrEeNdAyLoVeRr:

Lexy: He is way gosh darn cute, honey. I see you like them long haired boys too. I wish you happiness. (Sorry for sounding like some weird hippie chick.)

I love Sari's huuuuge posts too, they make me smile. Thankyou my lovely, I wish you happiness with your boy too, I hope it's all going well.

I hope everyone here is well.

Seeing as we're sharing...

GrEeNdAyLoVeRr:

Luke: You crack me up. Your random comments always light up my day and I can see you haven't changed, I just scroll the page and see your added little tidbits and can't help but giggle.

HELLOOOOOOO!

Thank you x

Aw boys! I like boys. I also suck with boys. But everybody's boys look so cute and purdy and happy

Woah. I know. It has been a freaking long time. I can't even believe you are all still here, but I love that you are.

Sorry I don't come on here anymore... I know I came back for a little while but I just had so much shit kicking off in my life that my heart just wasn't in anything and I sort of lost my enthusiasm to write, my sense of humour... I just didn't have a fucking thing to say.

I have loved reading back and finding out where you all are now. Lana, you are so lucky to be at college in Vemont, I LOVE Vermont. In fact, it's where me and my boyfriend first got together, which was at a campground in Burlington. We went to the Ben and Jerry's factory the day after. haha.

Sari, you are still adorable. I'm stoked you have a boyfriend of 8months and that you are happy. *high fives*

And Liz, I can't believe you married Eli, that is so amazing and I am so so happy for you. I miss our chats a lot and I'm sorry I left.

Any news of FP, or did she disappear too?

Sooo, I'm living with my boy Sam back in the UK now. We even have a dog and a car that is not falling apart, its almost like I have grown up! After working with kids in the States I did my teacher training and now I have my own class of ten year olds. Theyre tiring but great! I was inspired to come on and check in with you guys actually since one of my boys informed me this morning that Green Day announced tour dates and there's a little group of kids in my class going. Since I will (clearly!) be going too they seem to be under the impression that I will be able to supervise them hanging out by the stage door after the show, as their parents will otherwise make them come straight home. I have told them I am NOT running a field trip to see Green Day, lol. The girls arent interested though, they are too preoccupied with zac efron, which is incidentally the name of our one remaining class goldfish.

Jon is still travelling the world under the pretence of doing medical things. I hear from him fairly often though. He's in NZ right now with his BF Jamie. Last I heard they were trying to start their own gay scene in a town with a population of about 25 people.

Hope you guys all get to see this so you know I think you're all awesome.

LMAO, when the fuck did I get named as the most individual person? Individual as in silent? Love it.

Forgot to say, I got this email a few months ago from some chick asking if she could continue No One Knows. I was a bit like, uh, fuck off my story bitch but then she sent me her first chapter and it seems she is not a talentless 13yr old fangirl as I first suspected. So I've told her go ahead, just don't kill anybody or break up my Billie Joe and Jessie. Its called 'cut out in stars' and its on Mibba but to be honest, I never heard back from her and she hasnt posted a chapter in a long time, so she might be dead or something.

To be fair, none of us do. But we still blabber away anyway

Good to hear from you Elliewellie x

Heh, right. Good to hear from you too, Luce, hope life's good.

Btw, have you seen this yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzE0238RzUg

Pretty much made all my internal organs go runny.

xx

NO. FUCKING. WAY.
ELLE!??!! Am I actually seeing this? When was the last time you posted? when was thelast time I posted?
I'm a little drunk by the way so don't mind me if none of this makes sense. I can't believe I'm acutally seeing this though.

Vermont is awesome. I love it. I'm going back to Jersey on Monday and after tonight, I'm really sad. I keep going back and forth on whether or not i'm excited to go home. Certain days make me feel certain ways.

FUCK. I cannot believe you're acutally alive and posting. I figure everyone just grew up and got lives and all.

I want to see the boys so bad in Hartford since its on a friday but I'm already seeing Third Eye Blind and Gin Blossoms and I don't know if any of my friends even want to see Green Day at all. It's sad. And I don't know if I can say this without getting punched in the face, but I'm honestly not in love with their new signle. It's a little TOO anthematic (if that's a word)

That's so cute that you're teaching 10 year olds. I have 5 year olds over the summer. I was a camp counselor last year for 5 year olds and I'm gonna do it again this year. They're exhausting but they're cute as fuck when they're in good spirits. I don't think I could ever work with kids. At the moment I really have no idea what the hell I want to do with my life. I'm kind of just going along majoring in either Theatre or Studio Art and seeing where life takes me.

i miss everyone and hope everyone is good!

I can't believe Elle actually wrote here. I'm almost convinced I'm too drunk and that I'm imagining this.

You totally are seeing this, I'm not an apparition. Glad to see you're living up the student life though El.

I was a camp counsellor in NY *high fives*. I was actually near the Tri-State border and whenever I went to NJ I always wondered if Elana was nearby. haha. Yeah 5yr olds are tough man, I got sick of my job being all about toilet trips, making sure everyone was wearing sunblock and taking like an hour to get their shoes and socks on after pool... I prefer the older guys!

Yeeeahhh, i know what you mean about KYE. I was sort of disappointed when I heard it cos it is a bit, well, anthematic (should totally be a word) and not the style that I like from them. BUT by brother saw them perform the album the other week ( ) and he said it was really good and BJs vocals have gotten even better.

Totally excited for seeing them in October. Go to Hartford on your own! I love making random friends at concerts, its the best. I had to do that at MK, since I lost my ex-bf, since he was laame.

God, look at me rambling about Green Day. It's just like old times! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ELLE!!!!! omg, I honestly thought I was hallucinating too. Your 10 year olds sound freaking adorable, haha, I wish I had been allowed to go to Green Day concerts when I was ten! Or, you know, even known who Green Day WAS when I was ten. (And LOL, if anybody could establish a gay scene under those circumstances it would be Jonny. I wish him the best of luck. XD)

It's been a long, long, LONG time since I've read Green Day fic, but I'm really kind of curious to see what this girl is doing with No One Knows, hmm. And I haven't seen or heard from FP in ages, it's kind of tragic

I might have to go to Detroit to see Green Day (I'm going to be in the UK when they come to Pittsburgh), which is a huge pain in the ass and my parents aren't altogether willing to let me :\ BUT I WILL GET THERE SOMEHOW. I'm not too impressed with KYE either but it might grow on me, I guess. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album, omg.

Oh, and Elana already knows this but I've finally decided I'm going to college in Boston next year I'm pretty freaking excited.

Yeah, adorable isnt a word I'd use to describe my class most of the time but they certainly keep my life interesting. They are pretty much just starting to be aware of the importance of looking cool so I think it is more about bragging that they are going to rock concerts. Bless 'em.

I don't know Boston that well but I've heard its a great city! Lucky you! You'll have a blast.

ELLE!!!!!!!!! Omg, I just made this odd screeching noise, which scared the hell right out of the kind lady that works five feet from me, lol.

Ellie May! I just want to hug you until you can't breathe! Haha, I'm glad you've come back and updated us on what's been going on! I'm so happy that you and Sam are settled in the UK...it's weird (but good) being a grown up, right? And don't worry about needing some time away. You went through so much life-changing stuff in such a little amount of time that I can't imagine trying to make sense of it all. We're just insanely glad you're back with us!!! And Jon, omg, I miss Jonny terribly! Haha, the image of him in NZ trying to introduce gay culture into a town of 25 people has made my day! How could they not love him there?

Oh my gosh, you work with ten-year-old kids on a daily basis. You're obviously a saint, haha. I love that the boys in your class have taken an interest in Green Day! I'm just excited that the guys are finally getting back into the spotlight again because I've missed them! And look, Green Day have brought us all together once again

...Know Your Enemy IS pretty awful though. It makes me feel better that your brother said the rest of the album is good because I was worried there for awhile! Gah, and Billie Joe still looks amazing! And Tre! I can't wait to see them in July

Yes, I married the gorgeous and terribly patient Eli...but only because he accepts and tolerates my craziness We pretty much live in a world of wonderful chaos where we're usually so busy we don't know what to do with ourselves. I keep telling him we have to stop talking to family and friends and then we could become hermits and live in our own bubble. So far, the idea hasn't taken.

I'm not sure this post made any sense, and I'm pretty sure it's covered with exclamation points and smiley faces...I'm just excited you're back, Elle! xxxx

*hugs Liz until she also cannot breathe*
I am so happy to be welcomed back, I missed you all so much.
Wonderful chaos sounds good, I know it well. I'm so glad that life with Eli is going well, he sounds perfect. I also have a ridiculously busy life that pretty much revolves around school right now, so coming back on here is likely to be very damaging to my productivity.

I love that none of us like the new single, haha, thats really interesting because I've glanced through this board and no one else has a problem with it. How is it that we all think the same way?! It must be fate or something. I was watching the video for Walking Contradiction on MTV the other day, reminiscing about the time when Green Day used to make quirky videos that held my attention and made me smile, instead of sensationalist performance videos where everything is on fire/ surrounded by barbed wire fences/ has some CCTV thrown in because thats the state that the world is in, blaaah. I don't really want them to reflect all the problems in life, i just want them to make me feel better sometimes. *sigh* On the plus side, BJ is indeed looking hot, although I'm a little concerned that he continues to just look hotter and younger as the years go by because if the trend continues, by the time he is 80 I won't be able to look at him without passing out or something. Did you see the Tre/ Billie link I posted? There is defo still some hot action going on.

Gah, I miss Jonny too, I can't wait for him to come home but that won't be until at least September. He loves New Zealand, I try to persuade him how great England is when I talk to him in case he decides to move there, but I usually can't come up with anything when he's just told me that he's sitting on a beach getting a tan.

Arrgh... see, this place is like a time-vacuum or something. Back to work

Looooove Elle xxxxx

God, look at me rambling about Green Day. It's just like old times! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

EEEK! I live in the Tri State area HAHAHAA that totally describes every day of my summer SPOT ON. Scary. But they're so cute and I'm never bored. This will probably be my last year at camp though since I may have to get a real job.. although with my major, I'm destined to never have a job.

http://www.greenday.com/streammp3/player.php
They have more songs. I've heard 21st Century Breakdown already but its definitely growing on me and 21 Guns is good too. It definitely makes me feel better after the KYE mishap. And now it makes me really want to see them live! dfkgjshfkjg. Godammit.

I'm home for the summer now, I've only been home a day and a half and I'm already going otu of my mind. And my friends who are still up in Burlington have been texting me/drunk dialing cuz of Cinco de Mayo.

Pfft, those children know nothing about real music. They just idolize anything Green Day without criticizing it at all. and Billie continues to be fucking gorgeous, I do wish he would go back to wearing random clothes as opposed to being all emo and political and shtuff and wearing black. BE HAPPY. WEAR COLOURS.

My brother was in Australia last semester studying abroad and he loved it. He went to New Zealand for a bit on the last part of his semester and he said it was absolutely gorgeous and said I should go there rather then Australia since apparently I'm not meant for Australia? (Not really sure what he's implying there? Perhaps that I like trees and not cities? I don't know whether to be insulted or not but ppft he's useless)

He looks beautiful yet old at the same time! OH NOES.

dfkjghflkjghsljghlfsj fucker.

sdkfjawofiawf GOD BILLIE. I can't handle how pretty he is, I really can't. It would be really awesome if he'd wear colors again, haha, and relax a bit on the politics and the eyeliner. But he knows we'll love him no matter what XD

hahah Lanes, you and your trees, you hippie chick. Did you decide on a major for sure yet?

El, where do you live?? My nearest city was Danbury but I pretty much only went there to go to the mall and sample civilisation as I was living in the middle of fucking nowhere in NY.

Be Happy, Wear Colours made me LOL. I think it might be my new motto.

Not listening to any songs off the album til I can listen to it all in one go and soak it up. Not looong!

Since we''re collecting, this is my new fave:

*shrug* Pretty much just makes me want to drag him down that hallway and do bad things to him.
