so last night was definitely one of the weirdest nights i can remember. ill try to set the scene....
all of us are at a bar kinda place watching the world series on a really huge screen (providence).
its lots of fun and as the night progresses more and more people from the tour are joining our little soiree. anthony goes out for a smoke and comes back and shows me his phone. .... on it is a text message from a girl we know in albany telling us that shes sorry to hear about one of our biggest fans who has apparently passed away in a car accident. once i read this i go outside and try to see what could possibly be going on. i start crying as i text ben and ask him for haleys number.
i call haley and she is pretty much in the same state im in, not so great at all. we are all devastated. i tell her to look into the surrounding hospitals and see if there is any information we can cling to. in the meantime, i check my myspace and see a message from this person that ive apprently never written back to. i click on her profile and read some of her information for the first time. it is basically mind blowing and so ironic and prolific in this situation.
fast forward about 1.5 hours
ben and i have been huddled around his bunk trying to pool our resources and make sense of whats going on.
at 1:30am i get a call from my mom (she never calls me this late). i see her number on my phone and automatically feel very weary. she tells me that she has just had a nightmare about me, i ask her what happened, she wont tell me what has happened in the dream. so this is also quite unsettling. as im on the phone with her i tell her that we think someone close to us has died and that i have to go.
within the next 5 minutes this person actually posts on bens myspace saying she is fine and this has basically been all from some idiot that was using someone elses myspace to start a hoax.
we are all sooo relieved yet so drained. its such a horrible feeling that someone has wasted your emotions on nothingness.
on a MUCH different and happier note, we are going to be on TRL tomorrow! sweet. bye

last night was a weird night for me too. i feel like i ruined your night even though i didn't do it but the situation was about me, you know? and it really sucks that it wasn't true. i mean. wait. if it was true, that'd suck too. but i'm saying so many people got really upset and cried and then it was nothing.
oh yeah and just for the record, reading that you're dead when you're not is a really weird feeling. hahaha. i was starting to think i was and i was just a ghost on myspace.
omg pj saturday night was seriously the worst thing ever...
i feel the exact same way you do about wasted emotion .. but at the same time.. it really wasnt so much of a waste because we all learned something from this i think... it was so unreal.. and then when she was still alive it was like... oh thank god.. but still felt completely unreal....
yay TRL today! and then armor tomorrow!
it just goes to show you how much we all really mean to eachother. despite none of us having a clue what to do, we all just came together through this chaotic, heartbreaking mess. i think something like this hits home with every single person. i dont know where we'd be without lanie. shes the backbone of this crazy little armor for sleep family.
although i wasn't around for this situation, i know exactly what went down. it's really amazing how all of you did pull together like you did. havin' haley callin' all the hospitals was a good move. even though this was all just a fake, it really does go to show how much everyone in this crazy little circle cares. sometimes it takes something mad like this to make us all realize that. i know everyone got quite a scare & lanie feels horrid for ruining your guys' night. but it wasn't her fault.& i'm really glad that she is alive. she is one of my best friends & i would hate to lose her.& all i know is that i'm glad there are people out there like you & everyone that was involved in this cause it makes this horrid world a lot better knowing there are people out there that really do care like you do.
I am never gonna forget Saturday night for the rest of my life. I don't ever wanna experience something like that again. I'll never forget that initial feeling of when I first read the comment on Ben's page. I am sooooo happy it turned out to be not true and that Lanie is still with us. I am also sooooo happy to know that you guys truly care about your fans. The 4 of you are the most amazing group of musicians I have ever come across!
i only really know rose and lanie from myspace with the whole ghosthunters..they are the 2 that i am close with. and i think i was the 2nd one to comment on ben's page about lanie. and i was FREAKED out. but how weird you can care for someone so much, that you only talk to on occassion, and who you have never met. this afs world is a strange one to live in, but i'm glad i live in it, cause everyone is amazing. like you and ben, and anthony and nash.. for caring so much. it's very admirable.
this night was definitely crazy, but i think it taught us all some good lessons.
holy crap. that is incredible. that made my heart hurt reading it. that's so upsetting to think someone sat down and thought that it would be amusing to do such a thing.
i'm glad your friend is ok, peej. be safe out there.
congrats on trl...i wish i had to tv.
i had a similar experience. except it was my grandfather. i was in the living room with my roommates and my mom calls me and she is crying and i just started to water up and ask her what happened. she says something about my grandfather and the call dropped. i cried for hours and everyone else did too.. he was the only father figure i had, and it wasn't such a big figure. anywho, he didn't die that night.. but did on my visit home.
so, yeah.. at the time it was false.. but it became true.
sucks.
but i'm glad nothing happened and that your nightmare turned out to be only a 'dream'
the fact that you and the guys care so much for your biggest fans touches my heart. honestly :]
