Burns my feet as they touch the ground.

The clock is ticking, ticking, ticking closer to summer and I am the only one left to be excited.  I am the only one left to crave the sunshine and the grass and my long lost friend, sleep.  We haven't seen each other in quite a while.

I discovered something new this year.  After wasting so much time feeling sorry for myself and missing the past and wishing we were still there, I realized that there's nothing wrong with where I'm at.  I realized that it's fine to like Lone Peak sometimes and to maybe even enjoy being at school.  I realized that there are boys with jedi braids and boys with glasses and boys who sing and boys who recycle.  I realized that maybe some of them might even know who I am.  We could even be friends or something.  And you know what?  Maybe I even like where I am better than where I was.

Well I don't want to start feeling sorry for myself when things change.  I can change and I can make friends and I move on.

So I'm excited for a change.  I want to do something new and cut my hair and go thrift shopping and get a tan-line.  Would you care to join?

(Normally I would post some beautiful, inspirational, summer-themed pictures here, but I currently don't have access to the computer where all of my blogging pictures are stored.  Sorry, maybe next time.)

Don't be afraid to change.

Love and kisses, 
Dani


(post script:  So Brynn, I had this great idea where maybe we should meet all of these people Rocky talks about all the time and then we'll know who he's talking about...)

Of Boys and Pens (sound famililar Brynn?)

Sorry guys, I've been gone for a long time.  Well I haven't really been gone, I just haven't been blogging.  I've been too busy dancing and doing homework and going to school and eating and occasionally sleeping and going to choir things and making sure Caden doesn't think I'm avoiding him, because I'm not.

It's pretty tiring.

You know what?  I'm not really sure how to tie pens into this so I'm just going to let that one go.

Hopefully my writers block will be gone next time I write and you can have a real post.

Love and kisses,

Dani

A word of caution:

Please be completely sure that you know the meaning of a word before you use it.  There's nothing more ridiculous than someone who uses a word entirely wrong.

Go read a dictionary or something.

Or catch a chicken, take your pick.

Love and kisses,
Dani

If you were to be kidnapped, wouldn't you want to have your retainer with you?

Welcome to the planet

The palnet.  Save it people, recycle.  Maybe recycling man will come pick it up for you and you can bask in his beauty.  My brother is playing his guitar right now.  Loud as ever, does he even know how to play softly? I don't think so.  It makes me want to turn off all the lights and light some candles or maybe a fire in the fireplace.  Did I mention we have a real fireplace, not a fake one with a switch?  We could curl up in a blanket with some hot chocolate and tell secrets all night.  If there were ever a spider or something you could catch it for me so I wouldn't be scared.  I could tell you all about how I cry at night and you could let me know what you're thinking when you leave like that.  "Where do you run to escape from yourself?"  We could count the stars and when one shot across the sky I would wish for you never to leave.  I could show you how to find Orion, but you probably already know.  We could go for a walk and I wouldn't wear shoes.  My neighbors would all be asleep so they wouldn't make fun of me.  Maybe you would hold my hand.

But then maybe I would wake up and you would be gone.
