Whoa woah woe..
it’s sort of unbelievable how much can happen between these LJ posts…
i don’t say that in a negative way really. i’m just only starting to realize the time that’s passed now that i sit down to write you guys.

with all the off time and the sitting around at home i’ve really just felt afraid to be still. it’s hard to go from moving at a million miles a minute to stomping on the brakes. and now — THANK GOD — we’re getting ready to get a little busier. you might’ve heard but there will be a new song on the way pretty soon and that means, we’ll have some work to do! not to mention, rehearsals for summer shows will be here before i know it. i mean, i really have to keep reminding myself… it’s only a few months off! it should be a good thing right? balls!

i’ve been in LA for quite some time now.. while i’ve been out here, i’ve seen some great shows (A Day To Remember, The Swellers, Zach Galifianakis — ugh i can’t spell that! — Best Coast, Jon Brion, The Watkins Family Hour, and I think more but I can’t remember right now), went on a date at LACMA to see the history of fashion exhibit, and i haven’t eaten meat in months! who knows how long that will last though…. I mean, I can’t really complain. it’s been a lot of fun. you know what i think my problem is though? i think i have growing pains.

i always come back to this… to growing and changing and how it feels when the whole world already “knows” exactly who you are. they know your next step before you take it. they know your every reason for every thing. and hey, this is the life i wanted! honestly, i love the workload (how i miss it right now), the company (you guys), all the different places, and most of all the freedom to create. all i can say is, with all that’s on it’s way to us right now… and i really believe in it… i guess i feel like a different version of me is ready going to be taking it on. i mean, damn, i’ve had enough time right? and yes, i said it before, but i think the guys are there too. i don’t think i’m alone when i talk about how some screw has been tightening… or loosening.. in my head. maybe even some of you are there too? there is never a bad time to start over, in my opinion.

with all that being said.. i’m SO ready for new music to get out there. we’ve been talking about it since february. you’ve sort of heard one of the songs but i’m ready to hear what you think about more of them. i’m ready to see you guys face to face at shows. ready to care about what i look like a little (you know, quit looking like a scrub just cause i know i’m off)… which i guess means i can let myself go shopping.. yes? thank you.

anyways, what was the point of all of this? did you get it? i’m so excited for summer. let’s talk more soon. sooner than it took us to talk last time.

love you guys a lot,
hayley

Hayley ihmettelee, miten paljon voi tapahtua LJ-päivitysten välissä, vaikkei se olekaan negatiivinen asia.

Ollessaan kotona Hayley ei ole halunnut pysähtyä, se on hieman pelottanut häntä. On hankalaa liikkua paikasta toiseen koko ajan pysähtymättä ja sitten yhtäkkiä olla tekemättä mitään. Hän kiittää Luojaa, että nyt heille on tulossa hieman actionia He alkavat harjoitella kesän festareita varten ihan tuossa tuokiossa.

Hayley on ollut Los Angelesissa jonkin aikaa. Hän on nähnyt konsertteja, A Day To Remember, The Swellers) ja käynyt Zach Galifianakiksen stand-up-koomikkoshow’ssa jne. Hayley on myös lopettanut lihan syömisen eikä ole syönyt sitä kuukausiin. Hän epäilee kuitenkin, että hänellä on “kasvukipuja”, ei fyysisiä, vaan henkisiä.

Hän sanoo aina palaavansa siihen, kun mietitään kasvamista ja muuttumista ja miltä tuntuu, kun koko maailma “tuntee” hänet. Vaikka se on välillä omituista, Hayley on halunnut tällaisen elämän itselleen. Hän sanoo rakastavansa työmäärää, meitä faneja, eri paikkoja ja luomisen vapautta.

Hayley on innoissaan uuden musiikin julkaisemisesta. Siitä ollaan puhuttu jo helmikuusta asti. Hän ei malta näkevänsä meitä keikoilla, mikä onkin syy käydä shoppailemassa uusia vaatteita, Hayley sanoo.

Hayley on taas päivittänyt LiveJournalia ja myös Tumblriaan.

posted this just now on my tumblr:

“Went to the Jeremy Scott x adidas party last night. I’d like to quickly point out (then avert your eyes elsewhere) the fact that I have NEVER been to Coachella yet, as of last night, I’ve been to one of the after-parties. This is so backwards. I should be ashamed.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I met some really cool people last night. People who were all so different from each other. People who were excited to get out and let go. It was nice to just be surrounded by complete strangers for the night. Sometimes, I think it’s good to do something out of your typical routine. I don’t usually leave the house at 10pm to drive 2 hours and stay out til 4am. Maybe I just like my bed too much? What I’m trying to say is… there are a million-bajillion people on this planet (that’s just an estimation) and we’ll never ALL know each other well. Most of us won’t meet at all. But when we step outside our inner circle and start leaving footprints in other places we have a lot more chances to make impact, to learn something brand new, to find out who we really are by seeing a part of us in a total stranger.

Don’t judge. Don’t stay inside all the time. Get out and let somebody know who you are.”

but i wanted to go just the tiniest bit further here with you guys…
my experience last night has so much to do with the song “Careful”. there is a big world out there and it’s made up of a ton of human beings living and breathing their way through every day. most of us, lost and confused and weird. but who cares? we have very little time to be judging and pointing and “protecting” ourselves just because we are afraid of people or experiences that are unfamiliar. the last thing i’m trying to say is that we should cut loose and run rampid in the streets in the name of “looove”. what i’m saying is, the person that i’m standing behind in line at starbucks has a story just like i’m do… and given the right moment, i could probably learn a thing or two from them. it’s easy to stay inside, shut your door, and say you’re fine with the life you have.. but try something different every once in a while just so you can say you took the risk of making someone feel loved.

edit; OH! i forgot to sign off – how rude

love you guys a lot,
hayley

Hayley kirjoittaa päivittäneensä saman tekstin myös Tumblriinsa.

Hän oli käynyt Jeremy Scottin X Adidas -bileissä aiempana iltana. Hayley sanoo,
ettei ole ennen ollut kyseisessä Coachella-tapahtumassa eikä ole aiemminkaan
käynyt after-partyissä, hänen pitäisi kuulemma hävetä.

Hayley halusi kertoa tavanneensa paljon cooleja ihmisiä sinä iltana. Ihmisiä,
jotka eroavat toisistaan monin tavoin, mutta kaikki halusivat bilettää ja päästää
höyryjä ulos. Hayleyn mielestä oli kiva olla vieraiden ihmisten ympäröimänä.
Hän sanoo, että kannattaa välillä tehdä muutakin kuin niitä tuttuja rutiiniasioita.
Hayley epäilee tykkäävänsä sängystään liikaa, koska ei koskaan lähde juuri
mihinkään klo 22 jälkeen. Hayley kehottaa menemään ulos ja
tutustumaan toisiin ihmisiin, oppimaan heiltä paljon. Älkää tuomitko,
älkää olko vain sisällä koko ajan. Mene ulos ja anna jonkun tutustua sinuun.

LiveJournalissa Hayley halusi kirjoitella hieman lisää. Hän sanoi, että koko
ilta oli yhteyksissä Careful-biisiin. Maailma on iso ja täällä on paljon ihmisiä.
Kaikkiin kannattaisi yrittää tutustua ja miettiä heidän tarinaansa.

Katso Cosmopolitanin kansi ja sisälehden skannaukset galleriassamme:

Tämä Cosmopolitan on Amerikan Cosmo, joten en ole varma, tuleeko sitä myyntiin Suomessa. Se on toukokuun numero, mutta on myynnissä joissain maissa jo. Alla Hayleyn LJ-päivitys Cosmon kantta koskien, lue koko kirjoitus “Lue lisää” linkistä.

Hey everybody
today, let’s dive into the discussion of sexuality! yeah yeah, i wanna talk about the cosmo cover. it’s a little more than a big deal to me. and you know what? i’m really excited about it. to the general public, cosmo magazine is either a) a woman’s obsession or b) a woman’s demise — honestly, either of the two options equal out to be the same damn thing! the media clearly has our attention. it’s easy to let all the images of all these godlike looking women whisper to us how we think we’re supposed to look. it’s like “here look at my BOOBS! don’t you wish you had these?” “more guys will like you if you do it THIS WAY!” “get this figure” blah blah blah spend all your time, energy, and money on becoming the world’s idea of ”sexy”… and you know what? it’s never gonna change. as much as i tell myself i don’t care and i wear whatever i want… there will always be those moments when i’m at the check out line at target and i see some gorgeous person on the cover of any ol rag… and i’m like “ugh, is that how it’s gotta be!?” only to realize that… next month, that girl on the cover is gonna be me.

WHAT A HYPOCRITE RIGHT?!?!

(more…)

hey yall…  just woke up and i’ve watched every rerun of every american reality tv show with spanish subtitles that bogota has to offer.  (celebrity apprentice is on now. Cyndi Lauper is fierce).  it’d probably be nice to get outta the hotel but we’re kinda surrounded. not sure that we’d actually get to see anything. it’s bittersweet, you know? i’d rather have fans everywhere be stoked that we came to their city to see them than not care at all. i mean, sure, i wanna go do touristy things in every city but the best experiences are the shows.. and we wouldn’t have a show without people to play for. so i’ll take that compromise!

we only have 3 more shows left before we head back home. WHAT? this tour has gone by extremely fast. it’s been amazing to come back to some of these places for the second time and extremely overwhelming to get the responses we’ve gotten. especially in all the cities we’ve never played before. we met one guy the other night in Peru, named Roger, who joined our fan club in Feb. 2007. that’s pretty much when we started the fan club!! he waited all that time just to meet us and see us play a show… i can’t even tell you how incredible that feels… and when he walked up to us at Meet & Greet with these big tears in his eyes, I almost lost it. he asked to come up and sing with us and OF COURSE we said yes.

check that shiz out here:

i almost cried again just watching this. hahah i’m such a baby. he broke my heart in the best way. i’ve just never seen anyone get so completely lost in our music the way he did on stage. it was humbling and real. we all felt really grateful to meet him. so if you’re reading this Roger, thank you!

in other completely unrelated news, i’ve been trying to do my Pure Barre dvd on tour. not as consistently as i’d like but… well, enough to know i’m doing it. my ass is literally burning en fuego right now. i couldn’t really recommend this work out to dudes – cause it could be super awkward if you’re not into ballet or pushing your pelvis forward all the time – but i will say that if you’re looking for a good workout that is low impact but with quick results, get on this stuff! and then on the opposite end of that spectrum… i would like teleport myself to LA and get raw chocolate pie from Native Foods. it shouldn’t even be possible how good it is. somehow it is.

and back on Paramore planet we have some rad stuff planned for the rest of the year. i actually just amazed myself with the whole Paramore planet thing. and not in a good way. who am i? anyways, as everything unfolds and becomes more official, we will let you guys know. hope you’ll be as stoked as we are.

enjoy your day!! talk later

what a weekend THAT was. damn, it never fails to amaze me when i look up and all around me and realize that we are standing on a red carpet. isn’t that sort of every little girl’s dream at least at some point in their life? even if just for a second, you wanna know what it would be like… i mean, i always did. it’s only made even more ridiculous and amazing by the fact that i get to do this stuff with my friends. the guys and i had a blast. let’s not even try and talk about presenting “best rock album” cause i’m pretty sure i nearly pissed my pink tou tou. this years grammy’s were, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever been a part of. and i’ll follow that up by saying, whatever is going on with the 3 of us – however this is working out – it’s something new. it’s unexplainable. and new! i don’t know how else to say it without sounding like i’m forcing it and being a downright d-bag. something just clicked and whatever that was, i’m so freaking incredible grateful for it.

we really made the best of our entire weekend. did a brand new photoshoot – i mean how much longer could you guys crop and re-edit old photos? must have been a little more than awkward too, right? well, lindsey byrnes knocked it out of the park. we had a blast getting all dressed up (i might have had too much fun… but you’re used to it by now) and sooner than later, some of those pics will be up on the interwebz for us all to gawk at. we hung out a lot with our label folk. both Fueled By Ramen AND Atlantic folk, if any of the haters are wondering! we even went to the label’s after party and held down a whole corner in which we danced the night away and onlookers were all “wtf” til they came over and got down with us. the best part is that we actually planned out a lot of our 2011. i know everyone has been hoping for an EP and while we don’t want to confirm anything 100% due to the fact that well, we just don’t wanna confirm it… i can say that we do have enough songs *in the works* for one and we will be recording some of them after we get back from Brasil thumbs up? yes? no? mmm yes.

just seems like someone opened up all the windows and let all the air back in. wish you all could have been right there with us over the weekend. hanging out with us and feeling our insanely good vibes, haha! we’re ready to give back to you guys for all the love we’ve felt from you over the past couple of months. heck, for the past 7 years! there’s something new happening here and it’s definitely good.

LOVE

Uudessa merkinnässään hayley kertoo viime Grammy-viikonlopun olleen loistava. Hän tykkäsi tälläytyä punaista mattoa varten ja poikien kanssa oli mukavaa viettää aikaa. Hayley myös kertoo, että bändi teki uuden photoshootin ( sanoen myös ettei fanien tarvitsisi enää muokata kuvia heistä kolmesta) ja suunnitteli vuoden 2011 täyteen. He eivät voi vielä varmistaa mitään, mutta heillä on tarpeeksi lauluja EP:lle ja ehkä voisivat nauhoittaa niitä palatessaan Brasiliasta. Loppuun hän vielä kiittää meitä faneja tuesta ja sanoo että “jotain uutta ja hyvää” on tapahtumassa.
