i know!! it makes it so much easier! it makes it easier on me too....i love buying coldplay stuff, don't get me wrong, but i spend all my money. but then i can say "hey its for a charity!" its a win-win situation!! i need to save money for possible coldplay concerts, i need to go to as many as possible!

Yeah, that's what I do too!

With the tote I was like "so I found something I really want", and she responded "let me guess, it's Coldplay-related"... So I said "Well, yeah, but it's for charity! ". Thank god they do so much for charity, or it would be much harder to convince my mom to let me buy this stuff!

hah hah yeah. my parents don't know i'm on here all the time either! when i first came on today it was at like 5 so i was beyond on the threads i usually read and my dad kept calling me and asking for help with something pointless and i was like 15 mins! i'm in the middle of something! and he asked what and i was like uhhh..computer? and ran back up to my room. then i was on here for like an hour i don't think my mom knew the tote was coldplay related when i first asked for it...

Haha, well I was bugging my mom to let me buy the $45 one, and then I disappeared into my room for a while and suddenly came back with a site selling it for $22, so she asked "how did you find that?!"... And I was like "Uh... Google? " She doesn't know I go on here, she doesn't trust the internet so she'd freak out She just doesn't question where I get my wealth of Coldplay facts and news, even though it's all I talk about!

excellent point!!
yay! i got mine a little earlier too!
By the way, i have a funny story to tell you about when i was buying it. So i had to use my mom's credit card cause there wasn't enough money on my visa gift card, and i was handing it back to her and i was like oh yeah, its a a charity thing, the money goes to some charity and helps a lot of different causes(i couldn't remember the exact ones at the moment but i think one was the environment) . and she was like where do you find these things??? (refering to the bracelets lol) and i was like uhh...a fan website for coldplay. Then she gave me this look that said something like how crazy are you? well something along those lines. i think shes starting to get how obsessed i am lol

But if you show me the picture and it turns out that you did see me, but we didn't actually meet, then what would be the point? I'd probably just risk freaking some random person out instead

I just got a confirmation email for the tote...

i like that idea

hah hah....you! oh no...what if there is a third person with the same bag?! now that would be awkward! it would be very cool if we run into each other though! if i see someone walking around with the same bag, i'll take a picture of the person and show it to you, that way we know who it was

I just find it funny that I asked for advice on what Coldplay product I should buy, and that somehow managed to start a giant Coldplaying shopping spree! I like the idea of Coldplayers running around screwing with retailers' heads, though

Haha, "the bag" How cool would that be, though, if we actually ran into each other, and we recognized each other via the bags! I guess to avoid username embarrassment we could just point to each other and exclaim "you!"... But that would probably be equally weird (especially if there happens to be a third person with the bag there ).

hi!
we totally confuse internet retailers all the time!! everyone on here! it's great! wouldn't it be funny to watch their reactions??

yes, that would be very weird *imagines* <gasp> omg, the bag! notlost92?! hey!!
hah hah that would be interesting...my dad would be like who? what? why did that random person call you in a telescope lens?? do you know her?
