Chris Carrabba is going to EYE SEX ME!
This is awesome I'm so going to have to do this! P.S. how have you never seen snow?! Says the girl from upstate New York...
Hahaha, Katherine McPhee whom I watch on SMASH every week?! LOL. I love it
I freaking love Dashboard! Chris looks so small. His guitarist is on a solo tour right now & J's band opened for them a few weeks ago.
Aw, I love how you added notes to the whole thing! As a first time visitor to your blog (thanks for the link back, by the way!!) I felt it was a fabulous first "getting to know you" type post :)
Your blog is beautiful, and already I can tell the soul behind it is it's compliment.
Love to you, new friend!
xo
I'm an English teacher and I just used "its" wrong.
Damn.
And I went and made it worse by publishing a second comment.
Double damn.
:)
I played the hand bells too score haha :-)
The only celebrities I ever met were in Florida, yay for Disney and clubs.
So fun. I might steal this idea. You’ve met so many people! It looks like you and Ne-Yo are a couple! Haha.
I'm LOVING this post! And that says a lot, considering the fact that you've never seen snow...that's certainly a "problem" I wish I had!
:)
This is super fun!
I SO remember reading your high school blogs...err...online diaries!
and the celebrity stalking started WAY before that...don't forget Stubhy from LBC, Jim Adkins from Jimmy Eat World, Some very high Eve 6, a bitchy Nelly Furtado, Good Charlotte, Sum 41 and a gazillion other celebs we met together! Good times!
