6:18 pm	give me some advice already seriously i haven't posted in over a year. here goes i am currently trying to decide whether or not to go to louisiana to work on the congressional election until may 3rd. i have a pros and cons list that still has left me pretty indecisive. maybe some friend will offer an opinion. Pros: Going to Louisiana may very well further my career and get me a better position in kentucky this summer. It could be a lot of fun. Housing seems sweet and some of my favorite staff members/friends will be there. The pay is better than my job at Walker Oil. And I feel farily useless at work at least 75% of the time I could expand my skill set, but at the same time the job doesnt seem very difficult (yet) seeing as i'd be looking for campaign workers in a pretty impoverished area. I have never been to louisiana, i bet the accents will be fucking sweet CONS: If I fuck up, I could fuck up my plan to work in Kentucky on the senate race this summer. which has been my plan since i did the governors race last summer It could fuck up my relationship. I SHOULD say I could fuck up my relationship by going. I have torn ligaments in my foot. should they not heal, i would have to get surgery, and i would be dropped from my insurance if i leave my job at walker oil. I am so sick of packing and unpacking I'd miss my friends and family. hell i just got back and im gonna be gone all summer. I'd miss the Drive By Truckers show in may, although their last album wasnt so hot. Lousiana may be a god awful place, who knows. its not new orleans its baton rouge Current Mood: confused (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:57 am	Why TN is better than FL: Part 268 so i am on frank black.net trying to get tickets to the fall frank black tour going through atl when i run across this: "Here is a truly cool opportunity for our UK friends to enter a contest to travel to the "bread-basket" of the USA to see our man, Frank Black. Jack Daniels is sponsoring a party celebrating the birthday of its namesake in Lynchbugh, TN on October 6, where FB, Richard Hawley, and Guy Garver (Elbow) will play with the one-time only Tennessee supergroup, New Silver Cornet Band. This very cool, one time event, is not open to the general public and will only seat 200 people! This may very well be the smallest FB show in many a year. For some reason unknown to Frankblack.net, the contest is only open to those in the United Kingdom, and also includes round-trip airfare. So, if you are eligable, enter the contest here." well fuck! so close and yet so far? i ask at work "oes anyone know anyone at jack daniels distillary?" and i get "shoot yeah! we deliver oil to them. we just had a couple people to supper the otehr night. we can take care of it." what the hell? i might get to fucking go!

12:37 pm	i had the best time in daytona. i would describe it, but i simply don't think i could do it justice. instead of worrying about my asshole friends or trying to fit too much into too little time, i hung out with crystal, james, kyle, lorraine and chris and that meant that i could stay in the neighborhood instead of driving my sisters no AC piece of shit car. they are all so wonderful and i had so much fun. especially at ibar on tuesday in orlando. they have a new 50's and 60's soul night. and boy did we dance it up. here are some shoes i bought while there (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:01 am	"vacation, all i ever wanted" OR "Panama!!" dude! about 5 minutes after posting this blog at work today: "i don't want to be an old man anymore it's been a year or two since i was out on the floor shakin' booty makin' sweet love all the night it's time i got back to the good life" yeah weezer, you said it. only a few weeks left of summer vactaion then it's busting my ass at UTC. so i need some fun, some crazy drunken antics, climbing on roofs with wine bottles and making up dumb songs. i need to get out of here. florida. atlanta. that's the best thing. yeah i will get into trouble inevitably but nothing i havent been able to handle before? so if i come down in the next few weeks can i count on my party champ friends to hold me down? josh horn: you are on downtown orlando duty, val too. let's dance like we are trying to embarrass our ancestors" my aunt and uncle tell me they are sending me and trey to panama beach with treys aunt and grandma for the week. fuck yeah! i am glad i came to work on time! and they are paying. nuts! i guess this is god's little way of telling me to "buck up lil camper"!

1:05 pm	Listen to the girl, as she takes on half the world "Pink Floyd founder, singer and lead guitarist Syd Barrett changed the face of psychedelic rock, but left the band before they became superstars." uhh? i thought he was already dead? weird. i feel like a dipshit. oh well! sarah sabin, my Gen. Apathy hero is gonna be here in a few hours to see The Danielson Family play alongside Zeb's friend Tamber (sp?) in Nashville on Wednesday. I bet she will stay till Friday and I am celebrating Caroline's bday this weekend after Sarah leave. Josh is spending Thurs.-Sat. with his best friend Will in Murfreesboro, meanwhile I get to see Sarah, Zeb and Caroline not to mention Chris and hopefully Sam. It's perfect. today i came into work stoned and my aunt gave me a project to organize her CD collection. this is probably the hardest, most thought provoking thing i will have to do today. then while watching the news during lunch we saw something about the jesus and marychain's Psycho Candy being reviewed on Don Welche's This and That. WEIRD. Whiskeytown is on the Hope Floats soundtrack WEEEIIRD again! Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: jesus and mary chain-honey (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:36 pm	remember back when i was awesome? and i bro'd out proper instead of being such a pussy bitch? yeah well (if at all possible) that good shit's back with a vengence. daytona: prepare for hurricane danielle, no tropical depression bullshit here. just motherfucking fun and drunken wreckage. petty girlfriend whining is lame. and i am just way too fucking cool for that shit. i hate those girls who's life begins and ends with their boyfriend's. Too much celibacy made me sullen, loving sex made me happy, but being so needy makes me lame. wtf? it's like i found something perfect for me and am hell bent on fucking it up. i always was that girl who would eat my halloween candy till i was painfully sick and then cry when my mom took my bag away., even though i knew better, i knew i needed to stop after the 20th bag of candy corn! but would i? fuck no! i wouldn't want to be anchored to me now either, being so neurotic and all. but at the same time i know that a lot of boys want me and i don't have to feel like this. i am not trying to sound conceited, it doesnt take much to get a boys attention. i went four years with a "fuck serious relationshups" attitude. but once you go down that other path and you think that someone truly loves and understands you, it's almost unimaginable to go back to bars and boys and booze all vying for you attention. when you know that you'll just hate yourself in the morning I know this is gonna sound pretty unlike the danielle you know, but i now know i can love another person, not for shallow bullshit reasons, not for musical taste, not for convenience or comfort or anything i could name.it's actually been incredibly easy to. but i sorta hate having someone have that kind of hold on me. it's a handicap, a flaw in my plan to lead a selfish, easy, happy life. shit i have no idea what i want. i miss my friends. i need to go to a good show. grand buffet would do nicely. in fact, if i could just see grand buffet, frank black or the any of the good bands i havent seen in ages, being that i am in Southeast Nowehere, i might just get my head on straight. I need an ATL trip badly. or i need to go back to daytona for a while to remember why i don' want it. let's just see if this ache will pass before i do anything rash (yeah right) Current Mood: confused Current Music: are the RHCP always on the radio or what?

10:23 am	i've got those 4th of july blues yeah i have the weirdest feeling in my stomach. i am not exactly dreading the weekend, but pretty damn close to that. it started before josh told me that we had been invited to his mother's 4th of july "thanksgiving in july" cookout which is tomorrow. and he told me yesterday? clearly he has no idea that girls need like 2 weeks to plan for meeting the mom for the first time. i mean, my mom lives in florida, so it's not really fair that i have to meet his mom and he doesnt have to meet my mom yet. of course my mom is a little crazy and erratic so it might be for the best until he's in way too deep to ditch me once he sees the crazy i will inevitably become. it's weird, be careful what you wish for right? because i totally remarked to caroline how strange it is that one boy i know and made out with from time to time had totally introduced me to his whole family, i had even went to dinner with them. and yet i had never met any of my boyfriend's family, especially his mom, and they live so close! then i find out i am gonna meet the mom and i am terrified. but i digress. that isnt actually the reason why i am dreading it. no plans, not a lot of patriotism, i live off the Firework Superstore super exit where 5 or so giant fireworks stores vie for my business throughout the year, not just on this holiday. therefore, fireworks aren't a big deal to me in the least. and i just dont feel social, not towards my boyfriend, not towards one of my oldest and closest friends who is coming around here sat. on his way back to fl, not towards anyone. i dont feel like being around people. i dont feel like anything. i feel pretty numb. i should be happy right now. free time = boredom = melancholy danielle. it's better for me to blow off something im supposed to do to do something fun then to just have the time to do the fun thing guilt free, (somehow this makes sense to me) in summation, fun is not as fun without the guilt of knowing there is something else you should be doing.

10:02 am	your'e on fire yeah your flesh is burnin today i reiceved the greatest myspace message because it was from Jarrod aka Lord Grunge of Grand Buffet, my favorite band (or whatever?) on the planet. Jackson aka grape a don gave me his email like a year ago but both me and elizabeth somehow lost it. i drunkenly called Lord Grunge's cell (i got the # when we hung out with them a couple months ago in true Grand Buffet adventure style after they opened for Of Montreal) and told them how my Puerto Rico bro's were digging it for sure. then today.... DANIELLE! girl i'm so forry i didn't reply to your shit for many months. i didn't mean to be a dick, i just suck at e-communication. holy christ. i got your message. i'd've called back, but i didn't know if that was your number or a peurto rican number, so i choked and didn't call it (phone bills are hell enough already, na' mean?) but i know back in 'feb you were just looking for jackson's email so FUCK IT here's his email dexxtok@hotmail.com anyway. was a lot of fun hanging with you and your lady-friends back in feb. sorry i passed out like a queer, i seriously hadn't slept in 2 days. no exxageration. oh gosh, i can't even spell right now. but i hope you've been well. holler anytime, i won't take a year to reply. hugs jarrod (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:21 pm	punk-cicle? try Suck-cicle! yeah i am not in an awesome mood, to say the very least. i have cramping, bloating fatigue... wait is this a midol commercial? YES! but seriously, i havent been to any real shows in a while, i am sort of being pressured (well i feel pressured at least) to make a huge purchase on something i am pretty unsure about. i am about done with the summer semester and then it's full time work for me until august. josh's sure thing job at blue cross fell through a week before the start date so he is pretty much fucked. what it is it about me and the boys i date? they all turn into to dirtbag, unemployed dirtballs. if you dated me and didnt, good for you. that means we probably only dated a couple months then. i think i may have to move somewhere where i can walk or ride the bus to work, school and everywhere else. i am an awful driver and i am sick of it. but i live in south pitts., so no bus, taxis, nuthin Current Mood: uncomfortable Current Music: superchunk (Comment on this)

3:56 pm	aqua seafoam shame You Are Apple Green You are almost super-humanly upbeat. You have a very positive energy that surrounds you. And while you are happy go lucky, you're also charmingly assertive. You get what you want, even if you have to persuade those against you to see things your way. Reflective and thoughtful, you know yourself well - and you know that you want out of life. What Color Green Are You? i was sure i'd get kelly green or seafoam green, but apple green is cool (Comment on this)
