I thought I'd share my story that I wrote for Becky's Lifehouse Fanbook. It's not as entertaining as the other stories on this board - what makes it neat is the parameters. To spice it up, try reading it as a musical. By the way, I love the other stories on this board - keep 'em coming.
A DAY IN THE WORDS OF LIFEHOUSE
This is a story written in play style about a day when everyone in the world can only speak in Lifehouse lyrics, but no one seems to notice.
Isabel enters the kitchen in her pajamas to find that her mother has cooked an amazing array of breakfast food.
MOTHER: Take anything you want.
ISABEL: You're amazing.
FLUFFY, THE DOG: I bet you're tired of me waiting for the scraps to fall off of your table to the ground.
MOTHER: It's such a shame to let this go to waste!
Mother feeds the dog a couple of sausage links.
ISABEL: What day is it?
MOTHER: All in all it's just another day.
Isabel looks at the calendar.
ISABEL: Not gonna wait 'till tomorrow. I'm living today!
MOTHER: Whatcha gonna do?
Isabel is so excited, she can't find the right words to say "The Lifehouse concert.”
ISABEL: When you hear a sound as loud as thunder.
MOTHER (confused): I cannot pretend that everything makes sense.
ISABEL: Why does everything always have to make sense?
MOTHER: Stop! Tell me, where are you going?
ISABEL: His show's on a beautiful stage.
MOTHER: I know!
Mother remembers that Isabel has been talking about this concert for days.
MOTHER: There's a million reasons for you to go.
Later that day:
MOTHER: I am sorry I can't go there with you.
ISABEL: I'm out the door.
Her friend Christine is outside in the car waiting to pick up Isabel.
CHRISTINE: Here we go.
ISABEL: Turn up the radio and drive away!
CHRISTINE: It’s a long ride.
Time passes.
CHRISTINE: I've been down this road before.
ISABEL: So you lost your way.
CHRISTINE: I'm trying to FIND my way.
ISABEL: Where did we go wrong? Can't we just move on?
CHRISTINE: I don't know where to go from here.
ISABEL: All this time is passing by. I think it's time to just move on.
CHRISTINE: Climb up above your precious time.
ISABEL: How long will it take? How long? How long? I wanna go! Will you show me the way?
CHRISTINE: Stop counting the hours!
ISABEL: I'll do whatever it takes to turn this around.
CHRISTINE: Same old street, just a different name.
ISABEL: All this time we're going nowhere and we know it.
CHRISTINE: Someday I'm gonna find it. Wish I knew what I was looking for.
ISABEL: Follow the sun.
CHRISTINE: I’m reading the signs, but they’ve got nothing to say.
Isabel decides to call her friend John at home on her cell phone.
ISABEL (on the phone): I may have lost my way now.
JOHN: It’s no surprise.
ISABEL: Hey!
JOHN: The joke is on you!
ISABEL: Tell me how to find another way.
JOHN: See the marketplace?
ISABEL: Yeah?
JOHN: Just turn around.
ISABEL: How far down do we have to go?
JOHN: Follow to a place I know.
ISABEL: This was the place that only you would know.
Eventually they find themselves back on the right track.
CHRISTINE: Never gonna know where we would have ended up at.
ISABEL: Now how long has it been?
CHRISTINE: I've been losing so much time!
ISABEL: It could have been easier than this.
CHRISTINE: Well, I haven’t got it all figured out quite yet.
Christine gives money to the parking person.
CHRISTINE: We’re running out of time!
PARKING PERSON: I’ll keep the change.
After parking the car, they run to the club entrance.
ISABEL: After all this time, I never thought we'd be here.
CHRISTINE: Wait for me! I fell behind!
ISABEL: Let me inside!
Since they’re so late, Christine and Isabel come into a packed room, and they stand in the back.
ISABEL: So many people with a good view!
CHRISTINE: I’ll take it anyway.
They see that Lifehouse is already on the stage.
ISABEL: Is it all over before it's begun?
RANDOM PERSON: That’s only the beginning!
ISABEL: Can you hear that angel singing?
CHRISTINE: Where did these tears come from?
The concert is amazing. After the show, Christine and Isabel come outside, where it’s starting to rain.
CHRISTINE: I never thought that they’d mean everything to me.
ISABEL: I’ve seen it all, and it’s never enough.
Isabel heads toward the back entrance, where the buses are.
CHRISTINE: Maybe the one you love isn't there.
ISABEL: There's nothing in the world that could change my mind.
A few people are waiting by the bus, even though it’s raining.
CHRISTINE: It could have been too much of a chance to take.
ISABEL: We’ll never know ‘till we try.
After a while, Lifehouse comes out into the pouring rain to talk to their fans.
RICK: The sky is falling!
CHRISTINE: They still look the same drenched in water.
ISABEL: I’m barely breathing.
CHRISTINE: Maybe all of this is simply amusing.
Isabel meets Jason.
ISABEL: Hey, remember me?
JASON: You’ve got the most familiar face.
ISABEL: I want you to know that I loved you the most!
JASON: I wish the best of everything for you.
Lifehouse doesn’t stay out in the rain for very long. Isabel and Christine start heading home.
ISABEL: All of the things that I want to say just aren’t coming out right.
CHRISTINE: It seems the more we talk, the less we have to say.
ISABEL: I hope that you can find the way back to the place where you belong.
CHRISTINE: Haven't forgotten my way home.
ISABEL: Here’s to one happy ending!

. I'd also like to know if anybody has an HD copy of Lifehouse at Pinkpop 2003. BY far their best concert ever
