I wish I could have stuck around a bit longer! I miss getting to interact on the livestreams. But, me and Bri had other things to work on. Putting the final-final-final touches on UTC2! So excited to share it with all of you guys. It's crazy how we cranked out another cover album so fast, I don't know how we did it.

You guys have incredible work ethic and you’ve got passion for what you do. That’s how you did it, silly.

I’m beyond excited for UTC2. This time I’ll actually be able to get a physical copy. I really hope that ya’ll do some pre-signed orders, though obviously a smaller, set amount to keep you and Bri from developing permanent carpal tunnel, cause it’s the only way I’m ever gonna get your autograph.

FUCKING-A, MAN!! That's so sick! Man, if I'd known that Skyhill would actually like, affect people the way it has, I dunno, maybe Pete and I woulda kept in touch a bit better. I didn't think that Fireflies would bring so much attention to Skyhill. I was so much younger then, man. But, then again, it's good that it didn't get big, since I wouldn't have moved on to do NSP or meet Brian or even Arin... My life would be so fucking different, goddamn.

It’s weird how it all works out, isn’t it? Like, I personally believe that Skyhill was one of those things that you needed more than anyone at the time, and now that you’ve got your niche with NSP and Grumps, other people are discovering Skyhill when they need it. You’re a fucking brilliant lyricist, man. I’m sorry that Skyhill’s music had to be born from heartbreak, but I’m glad that you managed to turn such a shitty time into something so beautiful, y’know?

Hey, sweetbean. How was your day?

Danny! I was just thinking about you, funnily enough. My day was good! I spent some time with a friend and I got to go out for dinner. How was your day, handsome?

I'm an introspective dude, so I think about this stuff a lot, like when I meditate. It's very touching that there are so many fans out there who think about this stuff, too. For you guys to say you're proud of me, like... I get a little teary-eyed whenever someone says they're proud of me. Be it Arin, or Brian, or my own parents, or one of you guys. Like, shit, man... My dreams are all coming true, and you guys are so proud of me, but I wouldn't BE HERE if it weren't for all of you.

[nudges] And I honestly wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you, Arin, and Brian. As much love as you have for us, we’ve got just as much for you, man.

As for something to cuddle, do I hear you volunteering? ;*

I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed, that’s for sure. ;3

I'll have you know i took a shower about an hour ago! I'm sitting here with my tea and laptop and checking in on the few lovelies i keep tabs on (including you!). I'm gonna sleep soon because I'm an old man who can't stay up past 11pm. I start getting loopy-tired after that. Don't tell anyone, but I think Arin schedules late grumping sessions because he knows i'll get stupid after a certain point. I mean, it makes the funnies I guess. :P

Ooh, what flavor of tea? I love tea. 

And pssh, you’re not old. You’re just a man that likes to spend time in Sleepytime Junction. To be honest, you’re cute as hell when you’re loopy-tired. I wouldn’t blame him for it, though, since you two are so funny when sleep deprived. c:

[cherryaire]

It amazes me every time someone tells me that, too. Like... Damn, I can't even put into words how fucking incredible it is to think that MY dreams were enough to make someone want to keep living long enough to fulfill their own. It makes ME so proud of YOU guys! I'm so proud of YOU, babygirl.

It means a lot to hear you’re proud of me, Danny. Thank you so much, boo. ♥

Looking back on those songs, like... Yeah, they really did help me, like, i needed to get that stuff out. Because now, looking back on it, I don't even know that person anymore. It's like looking back at a snapshot of my life, because I can still feel myself back then, and how i felt in that moment, but it feels like so long ago. I haven't felt those feelings in so long, it doesn't feel like me anymore. Because 'me' now is so different from 'me' back then. You know what I mean?

You grew as a person. You can hear your changes emotionally and also talent-wise when you listen to The Northern Hues and then Skyhill and then NSP. It’s beautiful, really. You’ve come so fucking far and I’m proud as all hell. I’m reminded that you can keep standing even when everything wants to knock you down.
