[14 Mar 2008|01:55pm] [ mood | chipper ] overall, spring break has been a let-down. the good news is i've been doing a ton of writing. i'm starting to get the crazy idea to start writing a little fiction, which is wrong - so wrong - in the journalism world but i think it would be fun to get out of my head for a little bit. things haven't been so bad... with the breakup and all. whatever happens, happens. i've gone through this before, plenty of times. it's cool. plus, i've got a good set of ladies to keep me feeling optimistic and keep him off my mind. i don't have internet at my house so right now i'm sitting at the rocket cat. i've been spending way too much of my money here. everything they make here is delicious. try the pizza bagel. yummy. damn, my tea has already gone cold. but yo, it looks gorgeous out. i wish there were outside tables because i really like frankford ave and living in fishtown. i'm glad we'll be getting another place around here. the new house is really great and i plan on inviting everyone over for barbecues again this summer. especially since the backyard is about five times bigger. although its been awhile since frank karvell's party, i wanted to let everyone know i enjoyed seeing everyone again. it was definitely a throwback. lets do it again. love always, danielle 5 comments|x

[27 Nov 2007|02:39pm] [ mood | calm ] the last few days have been: - turkey - shopping - dead kittens - mid-life crisis now allow me to elaborate. thanksgiving was really nice, although small. it was just the four of us - mom, dad, sister, me. i made an apple pie. i made everything on my own - pie crust, which came out extra crusty and flaky & apple filling, which called for lemon juice (weird) and you could totally taste it. my mom convinced me to get up at 3am on friday to join in on that circus act called black friday. every middle aged woman in the entire city gathered at kohl's at 4am in sweatpants & without makeup. gross. plus, nobody was anywhere near being in a good mood. so miserable. from now on i think i'll sleep in. as some of you may know already, my house cat, barb, had her kittens on nov. 15 (kelly's birthday!). she had three of these little guys and they were so cute. over the weekend, two of them died of unknown causes. well, i have a few assumptions but we really don't know for sure. the little grey one is still hanging on and i am totally invested in keeping it alive. right now i think barb is doing a pretty good job as a mom despite being a bitch. i think frank is a little jealous of the baby, since he's no longer the baby of the house. i've been giving the grey baby a lot of attention and frank is destroying my room. ao far, he's torn up every piece of paper on my floor into a kazillion pieces and pulled down my curtains. asshole cat. also, for my final journalism paper, i'm trying to write a story on dudes going through mid-life crisis'. so if you know anyone or know any bars i can hang out at to meet these ridiculous men - please share. additionally, if you would like to join me on these adventures - that would also be appreciated. sorry for this waste of time, danielle 2 comments|x

all goes onward and outward, nothing collapses. [19 Aug 2007|10:59pm] [ mood | restless ] if i could just make one suggestion, it would be that everyone read walt whitman's song of myself. i don't care if you read it 4 years ago in high school & hated it. try again. i don't know about you but i think its beautiful (saying things are beautiful is corny). love always, danielle 3 comments|x

kitty [12 Aug 2007|02:10am] [ mood | bored ] it is pretty late and i really need to be asleep for work tomorrow. i'm really wide awake though. i didn't want to stay up late on the computer but my cat didn't want to play with me. she usually likes it when i scratch behind her little ears but today she turned around to bite me. maybe she's pissed that she doesn't have a real name. i'd be mad too. all i keep on thinking about is how summer is over. two weeks is all i have left to hold onto. where did all the time go? i feel like there should have been more to it. so i worked alot and got drunk alot and went down the shore for 3 days. what happened to my beginning of the summer goals? i wanted to work on getting shit published and meeting new people. the summer is practically over and i've just gotten a grasp on those things. i'm rather disappointed with the summer as a whole but hopefully i can go out with a bang. but if not i just want to go out as lazily and relaxed as possible since this year looks like its going to be a rough one. love always, danielle 3 comments|x

[20 Jul 2007|02:13am] [ mood | relaxed ] i'm drunk and i don't care. happy happy happy. i even fix all my typos. i like my life and everything about it. especially recently. chocolate covered almonds and my boo are the best. love always, danielle x

remembering [08 Jul 2007|01:20pm] its never too late to mend. its never too late to mend. x

[10 Jun 2007|11:55am] for so long i was under the impression that happiness was something only obtainable by chance. that is was something i'd eventually come across, that it would just happen to me. lately i've been thinking its more of a decision you have to make. its saying to yourself that you're going to be happy and do all the things that it requires to be happy, by avoiding the people and situations that can bring you down, by allowing yourself to enjoy things and laugh sometimes. i'm going to decide to be happy today. x

[07 May 2007|11:44pm] [ mood | strange ] it's hard to know exactly when my dreams got weird i tense up and get antsy when you're near. but nightly you appear to me, ghostly in my head but I never can remember what you said. it must be something reassuring, something sweet and kind something you would never say in real life. where does it go in the morning? it slipped out of my hand. eating breakfast with my other thoughts, away from wakeful lands where is the you I created? the you that I adore? when my eyes are open I don't see you anymore. 1 comment|x

i'm having dreams about you, i want to scream about you [04 May 2007|02:43am] [ mood | cranky ] i am not rocking finals. in fact, i am doing quite the opposite. well at least they're all almost over. next semester will be better. love always, danielle 2 comments|x

hi matt [29 Apr 2007|11:21pm] [ mood | hot ] i guess every once and awhile i'll come along to livejournal and write a little ditty about whats been going on in my life. right now, kind of alot. biggest things: 1. my boyfriend 2. my house 3. finishing my first year of college three things that at one point i highly doubted obtaining, but now i'm here and i have it all. my boyfriend's name is cj. he is a really nice country boy with big hair. he kisses me too much and cuddles me too tight at night. i yell at him alot but i think he is really fantastic and he knows it. when i get too drunk he hugs me next to the toilet. when i get too mad his big brown eyes soften me up. he writes me creepy text messages when i'm at work that make me smile. he keeps me warm. my house is on york st. in the ghetto. its a real big guy, with three floors and two bathrooms. i share it with three of my favorite ladies in the world. sometimes we have parties and we let our friends destroy our walls by kicking it in. we're always bar-be-que-ing something so if you're hungry - come by - we don't bite. my room is the one on the second floor to your left - yes, the one that looks like a baby nursery. i have a "D" on my door. after may 8th, i will officially be in summer mode because i will have finished my first year of college. in the beginning of the year i really worried that i would never go to class, i would gain the freshman 15, and get all F's. i didn't skip too many classes. i didn't gain any weight. i didn't get anything below a B. so there it is, in a nutshell. i hope everyone is doing well. love always, danielle 10 comments|x

happy happy happy [08 Feb 2007|04:43pm] [ mood | chipper ] Your newly won positive attitude could be complicating your life more than you realize. Does everything seem so wonderful and desirable that it has become difficult to choose just one thing? Well, you ought to know that you can have it all! Embrace the possibilities that are in front of you -- try to take all of them as far as you can. Not everything will pan out, but that's okay. You don't have to worry. Just enjoy. thanks daily horoscope. you have no idea how much sense that makes. love always, danielle x

ghjkjhbgftyuijvgu [11 Dec 2006|09:10pm] [ mood | cranky ] it is christmas time, friends. but before that its finals time. i have never studied so much in my life. i've never even really studied in my life. i'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. my technique is just to stare at stuff for a really long time. i hate college. especially math class. love always, danielle 1 comment|x

crazy crazy [03 Dec 2006|11:44pm] [ mood | confused ] last night was fun. greg, you are a good host. i came back to temple this morning and went to see cj. i brought him a dr. pepper. we are love birds. he had work at two, so i came back here to be lonely. i actually accomplished a ton though. i checked again and turns out my jewelry class has a opening. i need to get permission from someone to take it so i emailed my advisor. hopefully i can get answers soon. it will be at tyler on thursdays and fridays 3:00 - 6:30 pm. which is really long. i don't think i'll mind that much because i have a feeling i'll really enjoy it and if not i'll just drop it and also drop the feeling of wanting to be a jewelry maker/designer/whatever. every other career seems like a good idea right about now. the more i think about it, the less i want to be a journalist. maybe i want to write but maybe not professionally. i'm having some serious doubts over here. what to do, what to do love always, danielle 1 comment|x

nice [10 Nov 2006|04:15am] [ mood | creative ] tonight i am sitting at home. i watched grey's anatomy. it was a pretty cute episode. it reminded me about camping. my sister has a boyfriend. this is somewhat depressing. she needs to stop growing up because its bringing me down. in good news though, i have a job interview saturday with cafe ole at 3rd and race. they sell all sorts of nice tea and i am a tea fan, so i think i will enjoy this. worst comes to worst if i don't get the job, i'm doing a craft fair next weekend. by the looks of it, its going to be a bunch of old women knitting mittens and christmas sweaters. in which case, i think i'll fit right in. love always, danielle x

[31 Oct 2006|11:48pm] its halloween. scary movies are on. the cafeteria has the best food like caramel apples. i am happy. maybe i'll see you tonight hallar at wilma flintstone. love always, danielle x

[25 Oct 2006|08:50pm] [ mood | geeky ] it is out of control the amount of work i have to do today. i am pretty excited to register my classes for spring. so far, i'm thinking: 1. writing for journalism 2. history 1877-present 3. intellectual heritage 4. statistics 5. american political system 6. painting i'll have to drop one of those but i'm not sure which one yet. painting would be really nice to take. i've always liked doing it. i finally found a class in jewelry making too. its closed for this semester already but its something i can look at in the future. its only offered at tyler but theres a shuttle bus that takes me right there. i would really enjoy taking that too. i need to remember this stuff. okay i'm going to shower, i smell like cafeteria. love always, danielle 3 comments|x

[29 Sep 2006|10:19pm] [ mood | happy ] i've been jumping from the tops of buildings for the thrill of the fall, ignoring sound advice and any thought of consequence. my bones have shattered, my pride is shattered and in the midst of this self inflicted pain - i can see my beautiful rescue. i'm falling more in love with every single word I withhold. i'm falling more in love with every single word you say. i'm falling head over heels for you. i've been dancing on the tops of buildings at the top of my lungs and i'm singing you a song, "don't you leave me alone". x

[24 Sep 2006|07:10pm] [ mood | exhausted ] danielle, you have to start using your head. this is very serious. get it together. love always, danielle 1 comment|x
