Found a website with some cool random facts:
http://vanessa-carlton.org/vanessa.php
Vanessa has a younger sister, Gwen.
The title "Be Not Nobody" came from a dream she had, in which she heard a voice say those words.
"Wanted" was written about a guy she fell for, in New York, who was "ken-like", it turns out he only liked her because she played piano so well.
Vanessa use to pee in the bathtub when she was a young child, she was too lazy to get out. Someone once told her that it's good for your hair!
Vanessa's worst job was shoveling manure, she was 9, and wasn't even paid. She only did it because she liked taking care of the horses.
She use to think there was a ghost in her closet.
Annie is actually Victoria, a little girl who had cancer, and met Vanessa a few years ago.
Vanessa dated John Mayer, she called him a "bad breaker upper". They didn't date for more than a few weeks.
"Ordinary Day" was the first song Vanessa ever wrote.
According to Nessa, vampires are sexy.
You might notice a death theme in her music, she has said e is very fascinated by it.
Vanessa's astrological sign is Leo.
Oops! Vanessa tends to swear on stage.
"Half a week before the winter", according to Vanessa, is about the survival of the fittest.
Vanessa actually dated singer/songwrite John Mayer for a few weeks, years ago. Needless to say it didn't last very long!
Vanessa's mom is a piano teatcher.
Nessa started playing piano at age 2.

I don't think her songs are that dark, I just think she writes whatever she feels.

Harmony and pandemonium put together.

I think the bathtub fact is pretty mean to spread around.
Tsk tsk.
Other than that, really interesting facts, haha. :lol:

It's about suicide, but i love the song:
Oh little Mary
Don’t you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
and Little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven
Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
It’s always a perfect little Mary that falls she falls
And it’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls

she introduced ordinary day like this at every tour stop in 2004. She would mention how she is sometimes very ADD and has a hard time finishing a song in a sitting and that Ordinary Day was the first song she ever wrote in one sitting.

If I can remember correctly, she was playing with play-doh and has a desire to eat them... I think that's what she said but i'm not really quite sure... :D

Well, half of those facts mentioned in the first post of this thread can be found on the Exit/In disc. She uses ugly words, explains the origin of the song "Wanted", and mentions her ADD and "Ordinary Day", among many other things. Her West Hollywood show from several years ago is a good source of stuff she's said. I've noticed that Play-Doh is now labelled to say "Fun to play with, but not to eat". :razz:
