15 Random Things About Me

Thanks Laura! :)

1. I dance... a lot. I bet you never knew that.

2. I like sarcasm

3. I don't particularly enjoy texting, but sometimes I still feel bad about the lack of text messages in my inbox.

4. I secretly wish I had a stalker. Not a creepy-come-and-kidnap-me kind of stalker, but someone who thinks I'm beautiful, watches me from a distance, and reads my blog or something.
4.a. If you are stalking me, feel free to follow my blog. I won't be creeped out because I don't know you.

5. I hate winter. I could possibly hibernate if I wanted to.

6. I have always wanted red hair.

7. I like to shop.
7.a. I can't actually buy anything when I shop because I spent all of my money on competition.

8. I believe in the power of the mind over the body.

9. I would rather be dazzlingly clever than angelically good or divinely beautiful.

10. I am a very good procrastinator.

11. I am in love with a boy that dances at Center Stage.
11.a. Unfortunately I don't know his name so I can't look him up on the internet.

12. I really do like chick flicks even though I'm quite critical of them.

13. I'm not actually a vegetarian. I just don't eat meat.

14. I love and adore stars and nighttime.

15. I wish I were a bender. Probably a fire bender.

And now I tag some people? Good plan. Hmmm, how about Brynn and Maddiey. Sorry, I only want to tag 2 people, I hope that's okay.

Be nice to people. You'll have more friends that way.

Love and kisses,
Dani

post script: It's Justin Bieber's birthday tomorrow. Just in case you wanted to know that.

post post script: We don't have to go to school tomorrow. In honor of JB's birthday. Just kidding peeps, that's not why!

post post post script: But we still don't have to go!

Oh my goodness guess what I did this weekend? Guess, guess, guess(You're never going to guess)! I went to Nuvo! I know, you have no idea what that is, but that's okay. Let me tell you about it.

Nuvo is a dance convention.

You dance all day and all night, (insert short sleeping break here) then wake up very very early to compete, then dance all day and all night again. It's pretty much my very most favorite thing in the world. Especially since I got to take class from wonderful, amazing, beautiful people (um Stacey Tookey, and Travis Wall, and Sonya Tayeh)!

I know, I know, you're so jealous!

Just kidding, probably you have no idea who I'm even talking about. It's okay, they're just choreographers on So You Think You Can Dance, that's all.

Let me just say, Sonya is maybe my favorite person ever. She's just the kind of person who I wish was my best friend.

Work harder.
Laugh louder.
Sing bigger.
Dance stronger.

I love you all!

Love and kisses,
Dani

I'm great, thanks for asking.

I'm not entirely sure what to say. I could write some overly dramatic post about how I'm sick of winter and cold, but I don't really want to do that. I could write some disgustingly hopeful post about how tomorrow will be better and we need to just keep moving, but I don't really want to do that either. I could rant for a bit about things and events and people that annoy me but I definitely don't want to do that.

So I think I'll just sit here and do nothing for a while. Why don't you join me? We can just sit here in silence and enjoy each others company.














Shhhhhh!













You see? That was nice! Oh who am I kidding, you probably just scrolled right through all of that silence didn't you. That's okay. I forgive you.

I haven't been entirely sure what to do with myself today. I don't have dance, and I really don't want to do any homework. I already have my 80s costume for our New Beginnings skit and everybody is busy. It's a bit too cold to go on a walk and I've already read everyone's blogs.

So I decided I would do a bit of online shopping.

Unfortunately since I have no money, my version of online shopping is finding lots and lots of beautiful things to add to my ever-growing list of things that I want but will never buy.

WAAAAA!

Here. Take a picture. I kind of liked it.


Isn't this exciting? I'm putting the picture at the bottom of my post instead of the top!

Keep dreaming.

Love and kisses,
Dani

post script: what exactly is it that all of these people do when they're not busy? I'm so restless!

Day 7: Bosom friends

Maddiey. A drop-dead gorgeous, hopeless romantic who has a lovely singing voice but for some strange reason won't sing in public. Weird... She reads romance novels and listens to country music. When she gets behind a camera, just wait, something beautiful is about to happen. Also she tickles her cheeks when she's excited.

Marisa. Um, can someone say perfect? Cuz she is. A singer. A songwriter. She teaches piano lessons. She loves everyone and everyone loves her back. She's exceptionally beautiful and angellically good. Not to mention hilarious.

Brenna. Oh my beautiful! Don't let her quiet ways deceive you, she can be quite funny when she's in the right mood. An animal lover who makes beautiful pots, she has the most contagious laugh. She has perfect hair, and the cutest freckles.

Brynn. Hey sexy! What'd you call me? A remarkably talented writer and future english teacher. Somehow manages to be divinely beautiful and dazzlingly clever at the same time. She finds beauty wherever she goes, and adds to it. I'm also insanely jealous of her llama sweater and her dinosaur pants.

Aimee. She's probably the greatest person ever to walk the planet. Yep pretty much. She cares about everyone and is always writing little notes and cards. A beautiful dancer and the world's greatest aunt. Possibly slightly crazy, but that's why we love her.

Kristen. Best cousin in the universe! Absolutely hysterical and a little bit spazzy. She's a lovely dancer and terribly beautiful. We just might end up killing each other one of these days.



Love and kisses,
Dani

(post script: Um this is a problem... there are no pictures of the 5 of us. So we need to fix that.)

This Is Home

I was just sitting there, minding my own business (just so you know, your business is my business... I was actually blogstalking people) when I happened across a lovely post about life. About how wonderful it is to be alive. To be alive and to be here and to be the people we are. This isn't a new idea to me; I feel this way all the time, but suddenly something just hit me.

I wouldn't go back.

Now this is a novel idea for me. I've never thought that before. I miss last year, I miss musical theater, I miss concert singers, I miss the girls that were on my company last year, I miss Mrs. Asay's class and our little french family, I miss summer, I miss efy, I miss the thunderstorms and shooting stars, and most of all, I miss all the friends that went to my school last year but don't anymore.

My problem though, was that I wasn't content just to miss all of this, I had to spend all my time wishing it was still here. Wishing I could go back in time and do it all over again. And over and over and over and it would never ever end.

But now I realize that I don't want to go back in time. I still miss the same things, but I can't do anything about it.

And guess what?

I like the way things have turned out. I like the person I am becoming and I like the new friends I'm making. It's okay for life to be different now than it was. It's okay for things to change

Be happy!

Love and kisses

Day Six.

My day was, quite honestly, not worth blogging about. I did the same thing that I did every single day of my life. However, I've been absent from this 30 day blogger thing for long enough so here we go.

I woke up late today. No surprises there, I do that everyday. I didn't do my hair. It's fine, I never do my hair. I went to seminary and tried to stay awake. I went to french. I laughed and spoke a little bit of french and a whole lot of english. I went to physics. I took a test, then I got bored so I took the hall pass and wandered the halls for a while. Unfortunately I don't know my friends new schedules so I had no one to go visit. I had subway for lunch and it was delicious. I read Maddiey's beautiful blog. I went to American Studies and won 8 bonus points for this weeks quiz. Yay!

Walking home was as always, the best part of the day, even though I'm sick and afflicted and can't actually walk.

I have dance for 2 hours today and I'm going to be late for mutual tonight. (bahaha I'm so happy!)

Hope your day was more exciting than mine.

Love & kisses,

-Dani
