Well I can truly say that one of the highlights of 2010 for me was not Rob related – shock horror I know – but in fact being at U2 in December with Vertigo and hearing them sing this song live. Â I realised on Wednesday that I didn’t have a song for Vertigo’s birthday vid (not to mention that my vid software isn’t working since my laptop crashed before Christmas so I had to storm a friend’s house and take over for a few hours or 10) – so something that has been staring me in the face forever was luckily brought to my attention by @lise-lou – thanks lise for the brainstorming. Â So without further ado – here’s my birthday tribute for Vertigo – hope you have an awesome day hun and I know we reminisced about this the other day, but I’m so thankful for the HTB screening almost two years ago when you walked up to me and said “Are you Maria?” and you got the look – you know the one …
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VERTIGO!

@ Maria – SO SO SO BRILLIANT! Vertigo must bring out the best in you. I can feel the love in that vid.
@Vertigo – you can only have the best of days after being given such a special birthday tribute as this one from Maria, but let me add my feeble congratulations and wishes to it. Time to party. Cheers.
That was awesome Maria!
Happy Birthday Vertigo – thanks for letting us share your birthday vid 🙂
What a birthday present!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Vertigo! 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VERTIGO!!!!! *throws streamers* I hope you have the most wonderful, fun & special day – you deserve every single minute of it!! 😀 😀
Maria your vid is absolutely B R I L L I A N T!!! Love love love it. Yep I was lucky enough to have a preview of this masterpiece & have been SO excited about the unveiling & OF COURSE Vertigo’s reaction *claps hands* Oh Vertigo – I cannot wait for you to see 😀 The song is perfect – just absolutely perfect – such special meaning. Good thinking lise-lou.
Thanks everyone – I really enjoyed making this and I think it’s the first time it’s only ever been first draft. Hahaha. @Michelle I too can’t wait to hear her reaction – she is always usually privileged to seeing the first draft but not last night *evilcackle* hahaha. Mind you considering she was celebrating so much she may not surface today – I blame Rob 😀
HOLY SIZZLE! THANKYOU. Am laughing, crying, sighing and falling off my chair all at the same time! *shakes fist* at Maria for being so sneaky – you managed to capture my fave Rob moments, yes I can see EACH and EVERY one of them (have been watching over and over) and the idea of partying with and drinking Rob under the table is making me squeeeeeee ahaha. Best present ever. The song choice is brilliance, seeing U2 perform vertigo with you was one of my highlights for the year too, it’s engraved on my brain forever and in case you’re still wondering how I knew it was you at the HTB screening, I’ll never tell. I guess you can call it divine intervention. Lol
Thanks for the birthday wishes guys, you all rock!
Now let’s crack open another bottle. Woot! Cheers 😀
Absolutely awesome vid Maria. So much goodness packed into 3 minutes 10 seconds!!!!

Oh Maria you have totally done U2 justice! This is just absolutely jampacked with awesomeness! Seriously Vertigo it’s like she stalked you all year and memorised all your favourite Rob’s! We have been dying to see your reaction when you saw it. It seriously has me in stitches every time I watch it and I can’t stop watching it!
