Redneck Undercover [Feeling Low]

June 24th, 2009

IIII won't worry my life awayyyyy...


What an fantastically rotten birthday. I'm feeling incredibly ditched. I thought I'd give people a little time, you know, to at least call today. No such luck. I was too far away from Earth yesterday to realize how suckish it was, really. My sister left for the night, no HB greeting. Dad said it once, the scarfed my brownies. Brittany and Amanda did call and come over, which made me stop crying at least. Blair didn't call, along with quite a few others. Ky called today with a HB, Buffy wished me HB three days in a row, ha ha. NO texts, a few scare messages on Myspace. I guess it was mostly Rachel's behavior that had me down, and the fact that Blair up and went to Florida, without telling me or calling or anything. I mean, all my exes remembered and not her? Jeez.

As for today, my sister was even more bitch-fest. She finally got home at 4:30 and didn't say a word until she screamed in my and my mom's face about an open can in her room. ..What?

I felt very redneck today. I'm 17 now, chillin at the pool smokin', drinkin', listening to country and riding home in the back of a huge red truck, sun beating down and smile on my face [until Rachel's glare broke my spirit.] Oh well.

I thought this year would be different... that someone would make it really special for me, other than my mom, gosh bless her soul.

Blowin' through the jazz band in my minddd...

17 Forever

June 22nd, 2009


My birthday is at exactly 7:30 am tomorrow. Today is Monday, and I was originally born on a Tuesday, 17 years ago tomorrow. It's such a strange feeling, I've never felt as young as I am, I always feel much older. I had a good day today, I went to the movies with Skylar, and my sister and her boyfriend, Year One. It was good for the first half of the movie, but got pretty boring second half. Kinda wish I had seen Angels & Demons instead. I don't have much to say today.. I feel aloof and distant from everything around me right now; but I recognize this mood. To a Cancer like myself, this is inspiration time, the time when we retreat within ourselves, into our world of pure imagination and create things, write stories or songs or poetry. Right now I feel like weaving a dream land, solely for myself to read over and over and wish it were true. If you are a Cancer, you will understand this feeling I'm sure. I don't like cake much, so Instead I'm making brownies and homemade ice cream in the morning. I'd like to go to Buffy's pool and indulge in another common pleasure of the astrological crab, swimming and soaking up the sun. My mo got me a present today, a shirt from Target with designs themed in the Woodstock concert, 69. It's so cute, I'll be wearing it tomorrow. It's comforting to know that at least one day out of the year, it's all about me. I feel like I give everything I can all year round, but for one day, I can get something back. It makes me teary-eyed to even know that the people I care for care back as much as I know they do.

Well, I guess I had plenty to say after all.

17 for now and forever,

Danielle

PS; I hope you have a wonderful birthday too, Jason Mraz

Dear Jason Mraz,

Dear Jason Mraz,

I wonder sometimes if your reading this blog, I'm about 98% sure you are not, so the 2 remaining percent decided to write this, just to quiet my rising curiosity. You see, either we are astrologically aligned to be similar, sharing the same birthday and all, or something like that, I'm just not sure! I'm not shy about putting my name and/or information on the internet, it doesn't scare me. So I'll say that I live in close proximity to Mechanicsville, I go to Thomas Dale and I'll be a senior next year, whoo-hoo. The similarities between us are a little...scary sometimes.

But the point of this post is to say, whether you are listening or not, that we post very similar posts, quite accidentally, almost every few days. I posted the McDonald's "I'm Yours" video, then you did. I posted a blog about the lifting up individual people to help make our world a happier place, and so did you. Every time this happens, I wonder; is this real?

Don't take me as an obsessed fan girl or faker, because everything I type here is 100% true, honest, pure me speaking my mind. I thoroughly enjoy your music, your blogs, your actions. Combined together they create an unstoppable solar-powered force, named Jason, showing me everyday what the world could be like, what the world is like. Underneath the grime of greasy politicians, ignorance of pig-heads, and greed of the human populace in general; The world is a beautiful place, and I and undeniably grateful to you for opening up the part of me that understands that.

Summary; Your amazing, and you know it. It would be incredible if you were reading this, and if not, I'm glad were riding the same wave of gratitude and love for all things. It makes me proud to share your birthday.

Peace



Sincerely, Danielle

Hopping Fences

June 10th, 2009


This morning I did not have a first block exam, only the second one. I got up and dressed at 4:30 regardless, went to Brittany's and slept for an hour 1/2, then snuck home to see if my dad had flow the coop yet.

I sneak swiftly up behind the house across the street from mine, hiding behind it and trying to see who was home. My view was blocked by someone's car, so I ran to a nearby bush... a large bush, noticing my mom's car was gone. Well damn that doesn't tell me if he's home or not! I run again into my yard, on the side of the house, peering carefully over the privacy fence, and yet again I cannot see if his motorcycle is there. I jump the tall fences with much effort to keep quiet, peek around the corner and VIOLA! He is gone, so I stride thankfully into the house. My mom then comes home, I arrive at school 40 minutes later than I was supposed to, breeze through my Driver's Ed exam, and walk out.

Angela comes with and my mom picks us up, we go home. Rach comes home, only to leave again for Allison's. We throw trash out of the window as we go, to make room in our dingy little car. Yes, we littered. I haven't done it in a long time and don't usually allow it, today was an exception. It was a rather wicked indulgence, ha ha. So, Rach is gone and we go to Petsmart, I buy a rat. He's my birthday present from my mom, his name is Tucker Maxx [yes, like the author of I Hope The Serve Beer In Hell, a very good and insanely funny book. He's so sweet, I love him to death already.

An otherwise full last day of school has left me exashted and in pain, mostly because I'm close to starting my you-know-what. Thankfully I'll be able to start the pill soon, and won't have to deal with it, acne, or babies for a looooong while.

Toodles!

Viva La Birthdays

"These times will pass, but the memories will last."-spray painted on a bridge in Enon

Today was Blair's 18th bee day, and other than that school was terrible, with a wildly flung out of control math class and a sub, you'd think it was the apocolypse in that room, honestl, it;s no wonder I can;t pay attention long enough to pass, I need a lot of induvidual attention in that subject.

Well I got my glasses today, and they look nice, fit nice, and make me able to see this sooooo much better. And then I went to Blair's and Jordyn + Nathaneal were there, so the four of us dubbed over discovery channel documentaries and played rock band, and made some retarded videos. I've known Nathaneal practically my whole life [12 years!] and Blair and Jordyn for almost 6 [and five of those years J and N have been happily going out :)]

Since I haven't done all that much todat I'll just say that, me, and my friends, we've all grown and changed a lot. And I really mean a lot, it's so different that it used to be. Everything seems like a dream, leages onder the sea in drastic comparison to ours lives today. What will it be like 20 years from now?
