My first jounal entry
Howdy.

This is my first journal entry. Sorry I didn’t get it up earlier. I’m gonna try to get things up more often . My life’s been real crazy lately, but I’m gonna try to make time for this more often.

I’ve been starting to realize how special fans are lately. I get approached quite often now and am realizing that people do care, and people do want to hear from me. Sweet. I like writing and expressing myself, so this should be fun.

Right now I’m sitting in the Pittsburgh airport. I just finished eating a McDonalds crispy chicken sandwich,… I feel sick. Now a days it feels like half of my life is spent on airplanes and in airports ……..BORING!!! I’m going to Norfolk , VA for some radio promotion. Then I’m off to NYC for a couple of days. I’m doing TRL soon.

Today I was in Toronto making a cameo appearance in the new Treble Charger video for "Hundred Million" It’s a good song. Swollen Members, Gob, and Sum 41 were also making cameo appearances. We did a bit of stage diving and moshing. Good times.

Much Music came by and I did a little interview with them. I also had 2 photo shoots, and another interview. I felt bad cause I was really rushed and couldn’t stop to sign autographs and do pictures for every one who wanted them. I tried!! You know it’s really cool when people ask for a hug. I love it. Hugs are special. I think they are important.

I love hugs!!
I’m gonna go cause I’m tired k.

Avril

P.S. my cd comes out in like a week. June 4. all I can really say is…..Finally!

Peace.

  Good day, good evening, whatever it is.
Good day, good evening, whatever it is. I’m on a plane going from NYC heading to LA. We played on Jay Leno last Thursday. On the 13th, we will be n Greg Killborn, and on the 28th Regis and Kelly. We were just in NYC for a couple of days rehearsing and doing press. NYC is such a funny place. So many people, so much going on, craziness is everywhere. I love China Town and So-Ho. I bought a wicked tie off the street there.

It was Marks birthday on the 2nd. Now he’s 23. Me and Evan performed an acoustic set at the Kiss Boston Show on the first. I did an autograph session afterwards and got to meet a lot of wicked fans. It’s a really good feeling to know my songs touched you guys. You guys were amazing! Thanks so much. Hey to the dude who asked me to marry him and took a million pictures of me. Hahhaha.

I noticed at every show we’ve had, some of the girls have been wearing tank tops and ties like me... :) …so I now have “avril” ties in my merchandise. They are black with red, my two favorite colors. There is also anther one with my star and name. You can go to www.avrilmerch.com or my website www.avril-lavigne.com has a link to it. I did my best at coming up with stuff I felt represented me…..or at least I made sure that they’d would be something I’d wear. That’s why there are tank tops and ties. I love the black hoodies and ties the best!!

We are working on a fan club as well. It’s called “Back Bone”.

Ya, so my CD came out yesterday!! It was a special day for me. In a way it felt like my birthday.

I’m gonna jet,

Avril

  So my CD is out now!!!
So my CD is out now!!! It came out on the forth. I’d like to thank everyone who purchased a copy. Your support is much appreciated!

Let me think, what’s new…..Tonight we will rock the “Viper Room” Me and the guys played on Jay Leno last Thursday. We will also be doing Craig Kilborn on the 13th , and Regis and Kelly on the 27th….(Evans Birthday) Speaking of b-day’s, Mark just had his June 2nd. He’s 23. We had a little surprise party in our hotel room for him.

This summer we will be playing at ton of radio shows, and will be going to Europe in July for two weeks, one week in Japan in August, back to Europe in September for another 10 days, and then Austrailia in October for 10 days.

In between those trips we will performing at various radio festivals in North America, shooting our next video, doing TV shows and other promotion. This is important to me because I want to break not only in North America, but other countries around the world too. That is another one of my goals.

Oh ya, I’m excited because we are performing “Complicated” at the Much Music Video Awards!!! I’m pumped! This is especially an honor because it’s not often that people get to perform when their videos haven’t been nominated on the Awards show…the video for “Complicated” came out after the nomination deadline, but they are making an exception and still letting us play!! Much Music Rocks!!!!!

Summer’s coming up eh?? Can’t wait!!!

Update from the road...
hi.
I'm on my bus right now. I have an 11 hour drive ahead of me.
There are just a few dates left to the mall tour, and than I'm off to Europe.
I have been putting together the album artwork. I am a very visual person, and always like to be in control. My new video is out now, hope you guys like it.

The song "Don't Tell Me", seems to be doing pretty well, which I'm pleased about.
I'm really proud of Evan and I, because we wrote that one a couple years ago when we first met, before "Complicated", was released. I was 17, and he was 18. He was siting down playing guitar one day at our hotel, and I just started singing. I sang out a bunch of melodies and thew lyrics to them, and the next thing you know, we had written the first single for my second album before the first single on my first one was out.

The rest of my record, besides"Freak Out", was all written within the past few months.

It's funny, I think you can really see a difference in my writing from then to now.
The stuff I have written recently just has a different feel to it. I hope you guys like the songs when you hear them.

I just want to say thanx to everyone who has come out to my shows on this "Surprise Mall Tour"
It's so awesome to be playing my new songs. thank you to those who have been supportive.

C ya
Avril

Saturday Night Live
Hey ; I'm back stage at Saturday Night Live doing rehearsals. I'm really excited to be playing on the show again. I'm performing Don't' tell me and My Happy Ending

Its really cool because my mom is here with me in NYC . Friday night she is going on The David Letterman Show.

There are having a bunch of moms for their mothers day special.

Monday I go to Japan and I'm not really looking forward to the time change because I just got back from Europe.

My head is really spacing right now but its all good.

It's all part of it and I love it!

My baby don't mess around...
Hey Ya!
My baby don't mess around because she loves me so and this I know for sho' :) (best song ever! Love it)

I am sitting in my hotel room here in NYC. Kinda bored, although I know I really should be sleeping. Matt (my drummer ), just took me out for my midnight snack, for our all time favorite food, pizza.

It's 4 am, and I've gotta get up early to do a bunch of my favorite things...INTERVIEWS!! YEAH, hahaha just kidding. No, I know they're super important.

My record is being released next week on the 25th here. Just a few more days! Weird, It's actually done. Felt like forever. I'm so excited.

I just got back from Japan. It was a great trip. Long freakin flight, but of course worth it. :)
I just have to say that my Japanese fans are amazing. Thank you for being so supportive all the way over there in Japan. I love you guys, and I can't wait to return in August for Summer Sonic.

Everyone is just so nice and polite over there. For those of you who haven't been, Japan is probably one the cleanest countries I've been to. Well at least Tokyo is spotless. You are actually asked to remove your shoes in certain areas. I think it's great.

Shopping is sweet there. All the clothes fit perfect.

I had band rehearsals today, well technically yesterday. I love the guys. I am so proud of them because they are totally nailing the songs. They are so good. Can't wait to play my new songs!

Later

  North American Tour
Hey guys, I'm 2 show dates into my North American tour. I just got back from Europe. I was there for a month. Europe was amazing and the crowds were awesome. I was very fortunate enough to be able to play in the size of venues that i did.

It's great to be out with new songs. My show is actually quite different this time around. I play the piano on 3 songs. I play solo on a few songs and i also play the drums.

Simple plan opened for me in Europe as did Bowling for Soup. Now i have my good friend Butch Walker opening for me in North America.

I hope to see you guys out at the show.

Thanks to all the European fans for a great tour.

I'll talk to you all again soon!

Avril.

From Boston...
Hi guys, we're in Boston. Did you all have a good Halloween? Last night i ran out on stage in an authentic Hooters outfit, carrying a tray of drinks. Me, the band and Butch Walker played Hey Ya by Outkast and danced around in our costumes before starting the encore. It was so much fun! I hope all of you had a fun night too.

The tour is going great and i'm having a lot of fun with Butch. He has been coming out to the radio stations with me for my acoustic performances. He's such a talented guy and i cannot say enough good things about him.

I'll speak to you all again soon.

Avril
