Now every word of every song
I've ever heard that made me want to stay
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

Here we go again on this telephone line
Every time we talk I always end up crying
You're always telling me about what I'm missing
But if I came back there I'd only end up wishing
I can come home, but I can't stay long
Gotta make a little money, try to sing my song
My heart's still there even though I'm gone
I've put my roots deep in the ground
of that tiny town
I can remember all the things you said
I hear your sweet voice talking in my head
I'm a Kentucky girl, no I won't forget it
But if I don't stay here, I know I'm gonna regret it
I can come home, but I can't stay long
Gotta make a little money, try to sing my song
My heart's still there even though I'm gone
I've put my roots deep in the ground
of that tiny town
I feel your arms around me like it's yesterday
I'm still Daddy's little girl and that won't go away
You know that I'm a dreamer and I've got to do this
Got to do this, but know that I wish
That I could come home, I just can't stay long
Gotta make a little money, try to sing my song
My heart's still there even though I'm gone
I've put my roots deep in the ground
of that tiny town

So maybe this all came to me because I'm deliriously ill from a minor case of food poisoning (too busy to wash my hands after preparing raw chicken for a tasty dish of Chicken Helper. Smooth!), but regardless, I'm glad it did.
As many of you know, I haven't had the best couple of months. Oh, woe is me... I'm single and all of my friends are falling for someone, I'm busy and everyone else is living it up, blah-de-f'ing-blah. I've tried to not let it get the best of me, but my closest friends have noticed (and confronted me about) the truth: I just haven't been myself. Well... Screw that.
Yes, I'm single, maybe even a little lonely. Being sad over it is ridiculous - I could end that problem in about 30 seconds... But I'd rather wait around for something great, that's just part of it. In the meantime, I have phenomenal friends: Friends that will fill my room with balloons and kind words after I've had a bad week. Friends that will tend to me with a glass of water and a large pot when I've had a rough night. ;) Friends that don't care if I'm breaking in on their pool makeout session, even begging me to get naked and join (swimming, I mean. Come on, we're not *that* close). :-p Friends that will set me straight when I've been out of line. Friends that will tell me it's OK to cry, and provide a shoulder to do just that. Friends that will let me PBJ the shit out of them. Friends that put up with my ridiculous acronyms. Shit, even the ex-boyfriend that I've been to hell and back with will give me directions when I'm lost in Tampa with a laugh and a smile. These kids have housed me, fed me, hauled me, stood up for me - They'd do anything for me, this after coming down here a little over two years ago not knowing a soul. I have *nothing* to complain about.
Ooooh, and I'm busy. I'm running ragged! School, work, clubs... If I have any quality time in my days to spend with those magnificent friends of mine, it's because I've had to carefully schedule it in. But guess what... I'm going to school (the best school in the nation for my field, I might add) almost free of charge - I'll have no loans to repay when I'm done. Usually this would cost over $80,000, but not for me. I used to count down the days till I'd vacation for a week here in Orlando Florida, and now? I wake up here every day. I lay out at the pool in October. Anytime I'm feeling uninspired, I know there's a moonlit beach with my name on it less than 45 minutes away. I get paid to instill excitement in those that will be visiting my home - People that aren't lucky enough to have all of this in their backyard. I don't have as much money as half of the other kids here - If I wreck my car, Daddy will not come to the rescue to buy another. The Mall at Millennia is not my personal playground. However, I've got a Mom and a Nana that are working their asses off so I can be here, and a job that will allow me soon enough to give them the surprise of their life for all that they've done for me. My Dad isn't with me anymore, but I knew him long enough to inherit the drive to get out there and do something great.
So tomorrow I'm going to wake up alone (probably with a wicked case of food poisoning), running on an inadequate amount of sleep for the full day of class that I'll have. But it'll be OK. For now, I think I've finally snapped out of it.
Or maybe I'm just happy to know that I'll be visiting my beloved Jon a month from today, I dunno.

*Last night Christie, Josh, Dan, Louis, and I headed to Busch Gardens for Hallowscream, oh boy. The haunted houses were great fun. Scariest parts of the evening included:
-Louis holding me captive so the big bad guys could have their way with me
-Being fairly certain that Christie, Josh, and Dan were somewhere dying on the side of the road till like, 11:30. Yay, miscommunication
-Dan leaping from the shadows and screaming, causing me to take flight and scream bloody murder
Meanwhile, in the Kickass Department:
-Found someone in Florida that knows how to walk in a theme park... Louis, you don't know Clint, my homeboy in KY, but that kid could roll with us anytime. We'd do EVERYTHING in like an hour. Heidi *might* be able to keep up, but she'd just stay 10 paces behind so she could point and laugh. Get what I mean, Blish? Anyway, we didn't have to move *too* quickly, cause...
-... There were NO LINES. None. Cartman would have been stoked. Walked on/stayed on *everything.* Shiekra = Badass.
-Got to ride the seizure-inducing wooden coaster *completely* by ourselves in the back row. It was SO CREEPY and incredibly cool.
-"So we're going into the club-themed house... And you saw the dancer outside, right? So Josh and I are just staring at her throw her stuff around and we're like, 'Damn!' So we're standing there oogling for like 5 seconds and then the cops behind us just snickered and told us 'Yeah, that's a guy.' So Josh and I are gay now, it's not too bad." - Dan, on the transvestite
*In other news, I'm doing really well with school and work. In other departments, this week has had its ups and downs but I'm just trying to hang on and enjoy the ride (no pun intended).
Hmm, now gonna figure out where Heidi and I should go eat. I'm sick of eating in. :-p

You have 2 new messages. Message 1, Sunday, 10:30 AM:
"Hey Dani, it's Shell. I was just calling to tell ya that we're leaving for church and I'm assuming you're still asleep. Just wanted to remind you that you're a really bad Christian and you should be ashamed of yourself. ("SHELL!!!" - Heidi, in background) Have a great day."
Message 2, Sunday, 10:32 AM:
"Hey Dani, it's Shell again. Heidi made me call you back to apologize... You're really not a bad Christian, just a bad person. I'll see you later."
Auto response from SOckr GRl cj: a1boldnspicy07: there was this advertisement for this body wash from Johnson's for adults
a1boldnspicy07: it has baby oil in it
a1boldnspicy07: I thought of you and how you needed it
"Awww, look at us! Heidi's pink and preppy, Danielle's boisterous and exciting, and I'm an old lady that lives in my attic!" - Megan
"We're going down, down na na na na na na, and sugar we're going down swingin' - I'll be your number one with a bullet, a blah-dee-blah blah blah cock it and pull it..."
"So I get off the flight from hell, step outside and it's hot and humid as hell, get on the freeway and it's traffic from hell... Then I realize: I'm in HELL!" - Jeff Dunham, awesome comedian we saw Friday night

Cried in public: Never... I mean, wait
Climbed a tree: Surprised I never fell out
Fell asleep in a Movie Theater: Yeah, usually when people drag me against my will

Current mood: bored
Previa, oh Previa, my kind and dearest friend
It saddens me to see that you've met your bitter end
You shuttled us everywhere, from Duffy's to the beach
200,000 miles behind you, yet still no place out of reach
Our getaway car from that crazy guy with brass knuckles
Seeing you loaded down with friends always gave me chuckles
Although it was a bitch to slam your sliding passenger door
I'm truly saddened to know I'll ride in you nevermore
RIP Josh’s Previa
Current mood: depressed

Ridiculously busy week. One of our call centers is in Houston so it's as if 500 people just decided not to come to work for a week... Guess I could have more to complain about, so I'll hush.
-Sunday: Watched football and was in a generally pissy mood. Sorry.
-Monday: School all day. Je deteste lundi.
-Tuesday: Borrowed milk from the neighbors across the way which resulted in a party and an impromptu sleepover. An unfortunate wardrobe decision resulted in much embarassment and name-calling.
-Wednesday: Random party next door, stealthily obtained a pink flamingo for the living room.
-Thursday: Yar! Pirate's Dinner Adventure with Eta Sigma Delta... Yar! REALLY fun. Ahoy!
-Friday: Concert with Louis, provider of milk. Dive bar concerts remind me of the good ole' days... Ahhh, nostalgia.
-Saturday: BOARDWALK PARTY! As Christie would say, Boardwalk make me lose control! Although I'm upset beyond words at having to miss UCF BREAKING ITS 17 GAME LOSING STREAK, I couldn't think of a better way to spend my time otherwise. We had a gorgeous room overlooking the water, the lights, the everything. Dinner at the ESPN Club was deliciously free... Oogled by lots of older rich men but I decided not to follow the path of my Mom and do without. ;) FINALLY accomplished my goal of renting a surrey bike (dream big, guys, dream big) which was RIDICULOUSLY FUN!! Chaos on the streets of Disney! YAAAAY! We popped that bitch on two wheels, what a great time. Lots of random fun... Watched Illuminations and chilled on the beach. Missed out on some shooting stars AGAIN (I'm never going to see one). Spent the day at the Yacht & Beach Club pool... Now I have awkward tan lines.
I've wasted far too much time on this... Without further ado...
( Pictures! )

Amanda... Call me!
There was a party at 19K last night and there were about 75 people in a Pegasus Pointe apartment. Breaking fire codes has never been such fun. Sorry for not updating... I'm as busy as I've ever been, not to mention my schedule got royally screwed by an advisor and I've been petitioning for a late Add/Drop all week. Lovely. Heidi's in all of these not because I'm obsessed with her, but because it was her camera. OK, nevermind. It's cause I'm obsessed with her.
( Everybody's goin' to the party, have a real good time... )

When the day turns into night,
And you're way beyond my sight,
I think of you, I think of you.
When the night turns into day,
And you still are far away,
I think of you, I think of you.
Even when I am not here,
We still can be so very near.
I want you to know, my dear,
I think of you.
Current mood:  confused
Random quote update...
(In line for the Tower of Terror, 5-year old girl has walked up beside our group)
"MMMMM I love little girls!!" - Shell, loudly
"(Insert name here), come back here now!" - Girl's parent, alarmed
"Yeah, a couple of my friends just stayed in Kentucky and didn't go to college." - Me
"Oh, what are they doing now, just asking 'Do ya'll want whyte meat ur dark meat with thaat?' all day?" - Shell, who happens to work at the Publix deli and does the exact same thing
"Uhh, Shell..." - Curt
"DAMMIT!"
Cedar Point Quotes (Only Clint will find this funny, but that's true for half of the crap I say so I'm used to it. Oh, by the way, we rode 20 rides AND went to Red Lobster for cheesy biscuits, all in a day's work. AND we got stuck on top of Millennium Force and it was badass):
"Douchebag Jackson!"
"OOOOOH-HOOOO! Chicka-moan-uhhh!" - 5,000 times
"I hate nacho guys!"
"This song is so stupid... He's like 'I wanna drink, but I don't like lesbians. I like songs.'" - Clint, on "Switch" by Will Smith *Scratches head*
"That looks kind of weak." - Clint, upon seeing Top Thrill Dragster, the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster. Did it twice.
"Can we ride again? I'm traumatized!" - Me, screaming to the ride operators after being stuck on Millennium Force for forever
"Oh, shut up, quit being stupid." - Clint
"Sure! Everyone that wants to ride again, just stay on!" - Ride operator
"OK, nevermind." - Clint
Not a quote, but we took Clint to Hustler Hollywood and it was amazing. Seriously considered buying him the "I HAVE THE BIGGEST DICK IN THE BAND" shirt.
"So, how exactly did we get to this point?" - Me, as Amanda, Rachel, and I drove down Perryville Road to Lauren's house, all three bawling our eyes out
"It's Mellon Fest!" - Mike and Mason, desperately trying to get us to accompany them to Deja Vu.
"We should definitely go home and order Papa John's like old times!" - Mason. Completely and totally inappropriate! :-o
*Clint, playing Guesstures, is trying to imitate grass*
"He's imagining that he's playing with Danielle's big boobies!" - Steven. Holy shit, he proposed to Lauren. That Bachelorette Party is going to be fly-home worthy.
"You know what I wanna do again?" - Me
"Eat?" - Heidi
"DAMMIT, no... Ride Soarin'! Wow!"
a1boldnspicy07: Worst moment ever... I go in Shell's room to drink some water. Of course I'm overzealous in my efforts and spill water everywhere... However somehow the water spilled all over my face and glasses instead of down my chin and shirt. Weird. So I start laughing, cause what kind of nerd spills water UP...
BizkitKidy: good point
a1boldnspicy07: So I spew water all over Shell's desk. This makes me and everyone else laugh harder
a1boldnspicy07: Then I get choked on the remaining water in my mouth, gag, and yak all over the sink, Nick/Sarah style. I was SO FUCKING ASHAMED OF MYSELF
BizkitKidy: what the hell?
a1boldnspicy07: All everyone can hear in the living room is "Laugh laugh laugh gag gag gag yak yak yak laugh laugh laugh I'M SO ASHAMED!!! laugh laugh laugh"
BizkitKidy: you choked on water and then threw up?!
a1boldnspicy07: YES!!
BizkitKidy: you're the strangest person ever
Also, I totally booked dining reservations for Lori Laughlin (Uncle Jesse's wife, Aunt Becky, on Full House) yesterday. She was a sweetie!

I gotta hand it to Shell... He sure knows how to have a 21st birthday weekend!
Friday night we went to Applebee's... I KNOW, not Friday's, right? Skeptical as I was, the atmosphere was actually better... Everyone outside and together, cheaper food and drink, and a bartender that wasn't carding and pouring strong drinks. Actually considering it for my 21st (It'll be cooler in March), but shh... Don't tell anyone. I opted for an orange chicken bowl over alcohol and had a great time enjoying everyone else's drunk asses. Poor Shell was drunk before midnight and making his advances ("Completely platonic!!") and I had a total crush on one of the Publix boys that came out. Way to hide all of them at work, Shell. Was feeling like crap from lack of sleep, so I headed out around 1:15. Unexpected hug goodbye from Publix boy changed that, so I stuck around 9G to watch the revelry surrounding Shell's worship of the toilet, kitchen sink, back of Shane's truck, etc.
Saturday night began with the arrival of Shell's two brothers, the younger of which would have been a great person for Amanda to meet. ;-) It's not a night with the crew unless a little bullshit happens, so we got that out of the way and headed on to Pleasure Island. Fun Policed Amanda, Mike, Mason, and Ben the whole way there. Glad to know that all of the years have had no effect on Mason's Mom's hatred for me... Wait, what did I do again? I'm probably the world's best and pissing people off by doing nothing... At least I've learned to point and laugh instead of taking it personally. Anyway, can't wait to hang out with them in August. SO Pleasure Island! What a great time! "They failed the jump test!" This time I was a good girl and stayed with the group, go me. Went back to 9G and chilled with the group... Some drunk people were being REALLY annoying so I hid and fell asleep.
Apparently Shell punched me in the face in my sleep, cause I woke up with a hell of an ache in my left cheek/neck. Woke up at the asscrack and headed off to Disney, stopping at Cracker Barrel on the way. Was super dizzy and almost didn't make it to the restaurant, so that was cool (??). On to Epcot... Did Test Track and made our way to Mission: Space. Shell was TERRIFIED.
"This experience is very intense, and not for everyone. If you'd rather stay on the ground and opt for mission control, please exit to the left." - Lieutenant Dan
*Shell starts to step to the left*
"In other words, if you're a pansy Nancy-boy, swish to the left." - Me
Quote of the Day:
*Right before boarding the ride, when getting our job titles*
"If you are bothered by dark, enclosed spaces, motion sickness, simulators, or spinning, please bypass this ride." - Lieutenant Dan
"I'VE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH ENCLOSED DARK SPACES, MOTION SICKNESS, SIMULATORS, AND SPINNING!" - Shell
"Engineer! *Spotlight lights over my head* Your job is to..." - Lieutenant Dan
"I'VE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH ENGINEERS!" - Me
Everyone handled the ride like a champ, I'm proud to say. Oh, by the way NASA, if you'd like to reschedule the launch anytime soon, that would be great. Kthnxbye.
The rest of the day was spent Drinking Around the World. Gotta love dragging someone along a 1.3-mile stretch of $5, $7, and $12 (!!) beers. Did our best to keep him from heckling the mimes in France. I love World Showcase, and wholeheartedly agree that there should be some sort of Bypassing Border Patrol-type attraction when one leaves the Mexico pavilion.
Last night was pretty uneventful... Oh yeah, I forgot! The left side of my face swelled up like a basketball, and as it turns out I have a weird version of the MUMPS that is super-rare and luckily isn't contagious! Only me, huh. If it doesn't go away by Wednesday, I get to go to a specialist that will blast the shit out of my infected gland-thing. Awesome.

Climb on top of all you despise
It's a better view from the lies
Two steps behind before I've begun
Time stops to tell me all I could have done
And I'll say
How long till the word will be completed
How many times will history repeat it
How long will it take
How long
How long
I want to go
Will you show me the way
I'd rather be wrong than be deceived
to thinking that I believe
that I can stand to be here on my own
There's too many questions that we won't ask
in hopes that this too will pass
But how far down do we have to go before we know it
How long till the word will be completed
How many times will history repeat it
How long will it take
How long
How long
How long till the words fall to the pages
How many times till all we can say is... Save us
The sky is falling and no one knows

Today Heidi felt like playing the piano, so Shane, Nick, and I escourted her to campus in search of some ivories. After two unsuccessful efforts at the Student Union and Honors building, we made our way to the Rehearsal Hall. Band rooms, after all, are always open. Immediately upon entering, instant memories. Shane and Nick only smelled mold, but Heidi and I... Music. I only had to close my eyes and I was back at the high school or the Foster Building. Crazy.
Mom's coming tomorrow, bringing my saxophone and chocolate chip cookies. Space shuttle launch on Wednesday (over 300,000 are supposed to be in attendance) and *allllll* day at Disney with Christie and Heidi on Thursday.
Woo-hoo!
Tuesday, July 5, 2005
What a great weekend. Shane and Heidi were kind/stupid enough to invite me down to Bradenton with them for the holiday. Blurbs:
-Shane's house is gorgeous, just big enough but not overkill. Huge-ass hot tub in the back and great parents in the kitchen cooking us homecooked meals... EVERY MEAL. YESSSSSS!
-Bought some super-cute pajamas and frog slippers for under 20 bucks at the Aeropostale outlet. I plan to parade around in them in the...
-... Cheap-ass room we have at the HoJo for the Cedar Point trip. I'm not even sure if it has two beds. I hope that Brett Bretterson kid that Amanda speaks so kindly of gets to join us. :-p
-Amanda and lots of Shane's friends were introduced to the Fun Police this weekend... Did some Fun Lifeguarding as well... "I love how Danielle jumps into the pool and within 30 seconds, there's like 10 of my boys in there. She's fresh bait!" - Shane
-It's not a complete Danielle experience unless a knee goes flyin'... The left one this time, so it's still messed up. Gimp/Hop-Along forever! The Florida people have yet to learn how to laugh at/blatantly ignore my falling down. Amateurs.
-Homesick Heidi + Distraught Danielle + Technology = Annoyed Shane and Nick. Oh well, whatever. Thank you, Verizon.
-Had a *great* fireworks experience... Sat out on this pier and watched about 5 different fireworks shows across the water on the horizon. I really wish more people could have experienced it.
-The Notebook is the DEVIL!
