We Are The Music Makers

"We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of dreams."

- Willy Wonka

I just love little quotes like that. The one's that don't make immidiate sense, but actually have a deep underlying meaning. At least to me, haha.

So I didn't do jack today; I'd like to document a few past things I personally think are interesting enough to publish.

Going backwards in time here, yesterday me and Amanda went to Pricilla's, LOL, and I bought some sexy lingire ;D

On my birthday this year, however, we were on our family vacation, and I almost died. here's a re-inactment.

Me: [out in the water on a sand bar, boogie boarding] Hey I'm going down the beach to hit those huge waves.

Dad: I'm coming with you.

We head over there, my board breaks.

Me: Well this sucks. Let's go in.

We start to go in, the wind whips up, we loose touch of the bottom, the waves crashing violently over us both with only one, broken surf board.

We try to make our way in to the beach, the rip tide from the large waves pushing us one tiny step foward, one massive leap backwards towards the sea. My dad wasn't doing well, we swam and swam for about 35 minutes until I finally staggered onto the beach, utterly exhasted. A kid near to him in the water pushed him his floating board, so he wouldn't drown. but instead of swimming on into the beach, he quits kicking and floats on out to sea!

Me: SOMEONE WHO CAN SWIM GO GET MY DAD PLEASE!

I was flippin' shit. So two younger guys with a kayak go out there and get him, pull him in.

We went out to dinner later. Happy Birthday to me.

So that's pretty much how that went down, it's funny now but I was reallly scared at the time. Thought my tiny following might like to hear it :)

So! I'm off to Pennsylvania on Friday; I'll be posting more personal thoughts at a later time; I'm not in the mood atm.

G'night

The Beginning In The End

June 27th, 2010

Wow.

It's been a while, blogspot.

Hmm,

well it's not 2009 anymore. Bummer.

So and update and some thoughts are in order.

I am now the blessedly confusing age of 18. I am a high school graduate, I am a girlfriend, I am alone. Kind of.

It's a peculiar feeling, my life now. No more school drama, no more struggling to pass, no more waking up at 4:30 in the morning. There are hundreds of kids- 600 to be exact- exactly in the same boat I am; not adults, but not kids, stuck in-between one life and another. The door has been thrust wide open, at last, in front of me, and I stand before it dumbstruck and in awe like never before. There are so many ways I can go, so many paths and turns and desicions to be made. It's overwhelming, soothing, alarming, and natural- all at the same instant.

As of this minute, my plans are these [in order]-

• Go to Pennsylvania with my boyfriend Bobby's family for one week,
• When I get back, find a job as quickly as possible.
• Make preperations to move the hell out of this house.
• Complete 1 year of living on my own, then moving onward to college.
• -Unknown from there.

Yeah so that's all I've got so far. I know I WANT to go to college, but not right away. I do not know what I want to be when I 'grow up', but I'm hoping a year's worth of real life experience will give me time to figure it out. I feel like, since I've started this blog, I've grown up a lot. Not all the way, no no, but quite a bit. I like to think I have a whole hell of a lot of learning to go.

Well, I'd like to start posting more periodically again. It's theraputic for me, even if no one reads it, just to get out all these scrambling thoughts and out them to rest here.

Until tomorrow, -Danielle
