𝟐𝟔. Who are some people you'd like to get to know better?

say less. next time we're both in la, we can go on a coffee date and get this friendship going.

shit, i was close. 5’8” is considered short in sports? that’s crazy to me. what’s the height of the tallest man on your team?

That's not too bad, 'cause travelling has a way of completely obliterating any sense of time, so I'll allow it. I've been good! Mostly just leaning fully into the whole "pretend real life doesn't exist for a few days" thing, which I highly recommend. I ended up thinking this is exactly how people end up extending trips indefinitely. I'll see you at the goodbye concert! I feel like it would actually be criminal if we let the trip end without properly hanging out. Even if it's just drinks here.

slipping into real life doesn’t exist mode is just proper vacation etiquette, i think, so glad you were able to do that. also super glad we finally got some time together in! i was worried we were on our way to it being one of those things that constantly got talked about but never happened. how was the rest of the trip for you??

Thank you so much. Yeah, I think we were all a little scared. Obviously, we have faith in our own abilities, but this indsutry is tough and it can be really hard to book roles even if people do know your name. Thanks again. I feel really lucky right now. You girls deserve it. All that work you've put in since Dream Academy, it's no joke. You're going to kill it and I'll try and make it out to a show or two. I might be the oldest person in the audience, but I really want to cheer you on.

no, exactly. i’m really glad you understood what i was trying to say. i know we just had napa, but i hope you’ve been able to relax after such a long run with stranger things and now this new project. ah — that show. quite the wild ride, wasn’t it? you’ll have to let me know if you’re able to make it out to any shows. i’ll happily hook you up with some vip tickets. just no judging when i can't hide my inner fan girl if we ever end up meeting.

mtv cribs? damn, what a throwback. did you ever see the 50 cent episode? the in-home strip club sent me so bad. fingers crossed that your muse returns soon! i just finished performing at the AMAs and now i'm doing a couple work things. it's a good life.

it was perfect. couldn't have picked a better place for all of us to unwind and have time together. it definitely is. we all want to put out only the best and things we'd enjoy ourselves. makes whatever it is more authentic. no need to thank me. only speaking the truth and thank you! maybe one day.

i'm so into this mutual love fest that's going on right now. you know i have to add to it by mentioning your music video with justin long. your casting for your music videos? amazing.

Only once?! Damn, I've been to Canada so many times, for work and leisure, I couldn't count. Such a great and vast country. Mostly Toronto, but I know a few guys who live a little outside it, so making the effort to see them whilst up here. So many hockey players are from Canada. I can imagine! Our schedules during the season is fucked, can't do shit outside of the games until the season ends. So I can relate.

shut up, i'm so jealous. i love canada and i'm so excited to be hitting hamilton for our upcoming tour. how is it this time of year? still cold or no? i hope you get all the visting in while you can! it's crazy how much time our jobs take up so have to take advantage of that time off when we can.

and i was being generous, unless that part wasn't clear. it usually does whenever we hang out, considering all we do is sleep, eat, talk, and repeat. he's a real one. so apparently it's been decided that we have to do a series of festivals during the summer. i mean, it's not like i'm complaining or anything, but i was really looking forward to a european tour. yeah, i saw you at the ama's. congratulations, by the way and you looked perfect as usual. how was it? i mean, as long as you were looking at my face, then sure.

loud and clear. sounds like the perfect type of hangout to me, really. hopefully that european tour comes along soon. when's the last time your group was on tour? afraid i'm the worst at keeping up with other groups. thank you, angel. appreciate it. it was good! really nerve-wracking but fun, which is all i can ask for. of course i was looking at your face. you know you're my favorite member.

𝟐𝟔. If you could duet with anyone, who would you choose?

If it was a competition then I would have walked away crying cause losing isn’t a good thing. I’m way too competitive for my own good. What have you been doing since we left Cancun? Anything fun? Taking some time to yourself?

nothing wrong with having a competitive streak. i've been doing so much that it's crazy! we did a performance at the AMAs, filmed for celebrity substitute teacher, dropped a little documentary type video for our coachella performance, and now we're just doing some rehearsing and enjoying time in LA. what about you??

Not weird at all, I'm flattered. I hope all my photo dumps don't annoy you. Italy was incredible, as always. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. The food, the wine, the pace of life. And then I headed to France straight after, which also wasn’t exactly difficult to enjoy. Do you have a favourite vacation destination? Somewhere you keep wanting to go back to no matter how many new places you visit?

oh no, they don’t annoy me at all. i actually look forward to them. i love getting a glimpse of you living your best life. from italy to paris to the napa trip, huh? that’s exciting. where are you headed off to now that the trip is over? that’s an easy answer: paris. i’ve only been able to visit a couple of times but i love it. so pretty and the food is delicious.

Maybe, or I just said that we were probably gonna lose. Either way, it's alright. Planning to spend some time in Canada with my teammate. Actually, a few of the guys live in Ontario, so might try visit a few of them if I can, before heading to New York to see my family. What about you?

canada is such a fun place. i’ve only ever been once but i’m dying to go back. what area of ontario are you visiting? i had to go right back to los angeles for rehearsals for the AMAs. swear the workload never stops over here.

this weekend ended up being the perfect downtime. not that i exactly planned it but sometimes things just end up working out. thank you! maybe one day. honestly, no idea but i'd be open for anything so long as it was something i know i'd watch myself, you know? i could absolutely see you taking that world by storm. you could do ads for top brands and everything. even if you did try out the runway, i think you'd shine there. whatever it is, i really hope it ends up happening for you.

nice little break, wasn't it? very calm setting for all these busy little celebrities. that's a pretty good mindset to have, i think. working on something that you yourself would watch. means the drive to make it enjoyable would be there. thank you! you're so sweet, i'm kicking my feet. i really hope the producing thing happens for you too!

You're being way too kind to me - you're such a good friend. I'd rather you give me honest feedback, though. No matter if it's bad or good. I don't think that I've ever done painting while drinking. My painting was quite something. I don't think that's going to be finding a place in my home anytime soon. You were so much better than me.

swear i’m being honest here. it was great. definitely not as bad as some of the other pieces i saw. though its probably a good thing it wasn’t a competition. you’re too nice, liv. how was the rest of the trip for you?
