The title above is definitely the most unemotionally charged birthday wish I could muster.
I decided to go the other way this year just because sometimes there are no words. I want to wish him so much more than a ‘happy birthday’ I don’t even know where to begin. For someone who has had such an impact on me - where do I even start? All you’d need to do is talk to me to see John’s effect on my life: the way I talk, the words I use, the things I like and how I feel about things - if you were a John Mayer fan - you’d see those things in me as well.
Not in a freaky “oh-shit-this-girl-doesn’t-even-know-who-she-is” kind of way but John in being who he is, and in being comfortable in his skin: to persevere and become who he knew he was meant to be, has taught but helped me be the same in my skin and more than ready to feel i.e. not shun matters concerning the heart. You hang around someone long enough and you pick up their ‘-isms’ and that’s what I like to think has happened here.
“Let’s grow old together?” I accept, completely, with my whole heart.
Thank you so much John, for always endeavoring to be the best that you can be, I love you - take a right.
That even though I performed a barely passable version of “Every Little Step” by Bobby Brown at the Brass Monkey tonight, I did take the 12 bar break to perform a word-perfect rendition of Mr. Brown’s rap from “On Our Own” from the Ghostbusters 2 soundtrack. It’s this kind of attention to detail that I hope will come to represent my legacy. Thank you for your time.
Hahahahahahaha. Johnny. So much love.
Every tour needs merch. And all merch needs a proofreader.
I would pay to proof read TLoko merch.
Letting loose. You know shit be getting hectic when shit be let loose.
Planning.
Thank you rickyv.
Let us all take a few moments to admire the curls, the forehead, the stubble, the nose, the lips and the hands (i.e. the grip, the veins…)
Yess.
Thank you again.
Back in October, my friend Ricky Van Veen and I began to bounce around ideas for how to go about celebrating New Year’s Eve. In comparing our respective life experiences, we decided that we’d both had our fill of prefabricated tropical getaways. Instead, we would plan our own itinerary from…
This is great. Fabulous really. Spent several minutes thinking of something to say but I got nothing. Thank you John for sharing bits of your life with the rest of us. What a man.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is going to be amazing (or not, but we would still think it is…!)
Oh and stay safe! Praying and channeling safe energy your way.
Happy Birthday Dearest John.
I love you so much and thank God for your existence everyday.
Thank you for everything.
As expected the words from my mind have not sufficed so I’ll let someone else fill in.

“The Life That I Have” by Leo Marks.
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours
And yours
My favorite app Fruit Ninja is now available in full screen For the iPad. I knew multiplayer was coming but I thought it would have been over wifi. What they came up with is better. Both games are played on the same pad, symmetrically laid out facing opposite ends of the screen so it can can be played in the classic 80’s two-player Galaga/Pac-Man arcade style. Too cool.

I just discovered something. I’m not technologically inept - tumblr just gives me stress. No one in my circle - of well - life uses this utility so I’m pretty much left on my own to discover these things which I honestly do not have enough time to do (I mean between my degree and loving John, how is a girl to manage?! Geez.)
Whatever it is, I found that I could type John Mayer into the little “Search Tumblr” box up the top and I would get this plethora of all posts re John. Which is ridiculous. I mean hours of my life. As in, hours of my life were just eaten up because I typed in two words (amounting to the name of this one person) into the damn search box. Fuck.
So the point of this post is this: if I do not know who you are (fine, how many of us know each other - this is the internet after all - I am therefore referring to the lot of you that I do not follow/those that do not follow me) but have liked a post of yours, do not be alarmed or freaked out by this tumblr/me.
I am not freaky nor am I deaky. I am merely this socially awkward human being that struggles with breathing (and not to mention my degree) and for some strange reason the gods of the universe have decided to bring John Mayer into my life (there are people that still do not know who or what a John Mayer is - lucky bastards? A thought for later perhaps…)
Somehow or another this man has become a mental staple and tumblr has given me this opportunity to voice some of my thoughts. Just fleshing things out and attempting to rationalise these ridiculous and rather far-fetched set of emotions!
Doing life just like the rest of you. So please, don’t run (or block!) I love your posts. Hence the clicking of the little love hearts. Yay!
Alright then, lots of Sydney loving to one and all.

This video of this interview with John is part 2 of 3. I found that this particular one was the best of the three. If you’re really pedantic about trilogy’s and the like please do start with Part 1 here.
Perfect.
One more thing…….stable romantic relationship hmm like that’s gonna happen anytime soon. He can just toss off like the rest of us. The thing is when I want him in my bed he is there!! I have imaginary friends too! Ha Ha and one final fuckin Ha
Imaginary friends is pretty much where it’s at. Although in my dreams John is really mean to me! It’s great.
More details on the dreams to come in a post some time in the near future! :)
P.S.: I have heard of Gavin DeGraw! Not much of a fan… :(
xx Sydney loving!
Hayy it 3am and again I am wiiiide awake. Saw your post and I to wonder at times wtf I am doing following the likes of jhnmyr. His arrogance at time just pisses me off. Yeah the “you up” got me more than anything else cause I tumbled my cell that night, felt bad for him. Maybe that’s a clue as to…
Hello hello! How did I not see this? I never know what to do with these things - in this respect Tumblr confuses me. I am somehow unable to fathom its abilities. So I am very sorry for missing these posts!
University exams are now over and I find myself away from the computer - hence the lack in tumbles and am struggling with this whole John Mayer thing.
Why does it have to be an issue? Why isn’t it a non-issue? Grappling with the facts here.
Am I a nut? I think I am going through an abnormal phase in what has already been established as an abnormal love/obsession (semantics really).
I have no idea what I’m doing. Withdrawals? I have no idea. I watched that video of John being fined (thank you @shady-assassin) and although it did spark up this ridiculous fire of hatred towards these assholes that walk around with their fancy cameras on automatic mode it did make John more real.
It’s not that I don’t love him anymore - good Lord I do - I just don’t know what I’m doing and I am not sure if what I am doing is entirely I want to say worth it but I know it isn’t not worth it. If you see what I’m trying to say here…
I just feel so torn but at the same time I feel the need to grow into the person I need to be and at the moment that person seems to be revolving around John. Is this really necessary? What would John do?
Like seriously. This is ridiculous. I need to sort my thoughts out! (<— pointless exercise!)
Much love from Sydney to CT! (I love this!)
P.S.: did the weather madness affect you?
P.S.S.: I am so sorry for rambling! No idea how it got from one place to this.

What I’ve decided to get out of the recent JM post (re iPhone 3Gs) is the bit about the passengers next to him on the plane.
Not quite sure if you guys see a trend here (see post re VU session 6am Billie Jean video) but all I really want is to be friends with the guy.
It hit me though that I will never meet the man, let alone have him acknowledge my existence.
Friendship my ass.
