well, well, well, its been a few days since ive updated so i figure i would do it now....
on tuesday i woke up really late and just hung around the house. nothing really happened during the day. then my mom came home from work, and we went over to the matthews' house to drop off some magazines and wordsearch books that we bought for taylor. it was great to be able to go see all of them. taylor was up and out of bed, talking and acting totally normal. it was great to see her looking so well. my mom and i talked to sue for a while and they both started crying. i heard them from upstairs, i was getting ryan. they were hysterical....its so awful, the whole thing. that 10 year old girl didnt deserve what she has. that whole family is sooo strong and i cant even express what heroes they are. then after that sad visit, i went to the mall with hilary and abra as a last hang out before abra moves. it was really fun. i got this shirt at abercrombie (although i hate to admit it lol) and its sooo pretty. im gunna wear it to aarons thing on friday. i also got some sandals at j.crew which r the most comfortable things ever!!! they re-opened ranch1 at the mall, which was soooo exciting bc i love that place. so then i went home and slept late the next morning (what a surprise...) i woke up at like 12:30 and i went over to steffis house where we just lounged and did summer stuff. we ended up going with her and her mom and ivy barr to pick out some glasses for her. ive gone with her for every pair shes ever picked out, its a tradition lol. anyway, so she picked out these pair which look really good and it should b cool when she gets them so she can finally wear them.....not lol. i might get new glasses, im kinda sick of my old ones. we'll see. so then as always, i slept over there. in the middle of the night i was awakened by mr. fluffy walking on me and meowing, he made me pet him...uggh i was soo tired but i felt bad so i didnt kick him off. eventually he went away and then he came back later for more. at that point i refused to pet him again so i threw him on the pillow next to the bed....poor fluffy needs to learn that people actually enojoy sleeping at night and he shoudnt do that! we were awakened by jill this morning at like 11, which was too early (what can i say, i like to sleep in) we went to the mall so she could return some stuff, and we ate ranch1 (yay!!) i just got home from their house bc jane had her dare graduation so i had to leave and now im waiting for my dinner to get here...pizza, yummy!! tomorrow is my doctors appointment and i cannot even tell u how freaked out i am. ive been having nightmares about it all week. i cannot take this n e more. god! y cant they make shots in pill form?!?!? they can prick my finger as many times as they want, but as soon as they whip out that needle, im ready to climb out the window to safety.....and dinners here. ill write tomorrow if im still alive......

I'M DONE!!! GOODBYE TESTS, TEACHERS, SCHOOL, EARLY MORNINGS...HELLO SUMMER!!!!
im done!!! yay!!!! i just got home from the spanish final, the very last final of my junior high school career!! it was kinda sad though, knowing that i wont be seeing some of those people for quite a while and those who are moving, maybe not ever again. its sad, but the sadness is almost all washed away by the trance that summer has put me in. i cant wait until the end of july when im in california and las vegas. especially vegas. its sooooo much fun there. i think we're staying in the luxor which is the egyptian theme hotel, its amazing. all the hotels all have specific themes and theyre all sooo beautiful. im really excited for that. tomorrow i think i may be going to the country club with stephanie and eating dinner there. as for what the rest of the week holds in store, im not quite sure. all i know is that on thursday im goin for my physical, which should be anything but a picnic. if im recalling correctly, im due for a tetnus booster this year. ::whimpers:: save me from that big sharp needle...i dont know if i can handle this......

for my chiquitas who helped me eek by in some sticky situations...
Stephanie: ever since the very first day of kindergarten u have always been my best bud. you are my other half and no one knows how to make me smile like u do. thank you for coming into my life and taking the role of someone i need in my family. as an only child, all i had ever wanted was a sister, and i found one in u. love ya.

sometimes i dont understand. why do people do things that they do? why do people see things like they see them? why do people only hear what they want to hear? some people say it gives them this unbelieveable feeling of control, but having true control is being able to see what youre doing and stopping yourself. i just feel like taking the blindfolds off their eyes and taking the cotton balls out of their ears and showing them what it the world really looks like, or what complete thoughts really sound like.

today was the math final, which was not entirely awful, but i sat there with this one problem until the bitter end just waiting for the thought to come into my head of how i could possibly go about finding joyce and selma's ages. well that attempt to figure it out was never fullfilled. oh well, i think i did okay aside from that problem. the stupid sevies outside the gym...uggh, i just wanted to go out there and scream at them!!! they wouldnt shut up! and of course none of the teachers wanted to do n e thing about that for some reason so they just let them stand there. while i was taking the test, ms. egan and ms.cardillino found a "cheat sheet" in the row next to me. i wonder whos it was. they didnt know who was sitting there so they werent sure. should be interesting to see what happens.

i've made so many new woohu friends!! theyre all from florida but thats okay, i love making new friends...new people to meet, new journals to read!! lol i love woohu

ahh crap! the sky is falling!
i have never seen raindrops so huge in my entire state of being. it has been raining on and off (mostly on) for about 3 weeks now and i cant take it anymore. why is it that the clouds have chosen new york to rain on? the spring has been rainy the whole time, and it only got warm this week. the warmest its been in 80, which im not complaining about, but hey, spring weather is usually hotter...no? why is it that weather has such an affect on people's moods? when its rainy and gross out im always in a tired "missy pissy" mood, and when its sunny and warm im all energetic and happy. its not only like this with me, but with a lot of people too. especially with finals around, this rainy weather is not helping the situation. tensions have been forming between people and it seems to me like more and more people are practically jumping out of their skin to get out of this sleepy boring town we all call home. not that i dont wanna go on summer break (because trust me, i have never been more ready!) as i was saying, im just asking for a week of sun is all. its not too much to ask is it? one day is just a tease, yesterday was absolutely perfect and they just had to go and take it away today didnt they? (sigh) that is just waaay less than satisfactory lol.

today was the science test. it was just a state test so it didnt count, but i cant even explain how pointless it was. out of the 60 questions that were on the test, maybe 3 of them were on the 8th grade curriculium. uggh, i just dont understand how they expect us to do well on these tests if they dont teach u whats on them! all of the stuff was either from 5th, 6th or 7th grade science and no one remembers any of that. some of the stuff they asked we never ever learned at all. whatever though, it doesnt count so i really dont care if i did badly on it. after the test everyone was talking about how stupid it was. we all finished with an hour to spare so everyone was outta there by 10. tomorrow is english which will be totally fine just beacause its barely what one would call a final. 8th grade is a waste of time...blughhh. theres no work and you could take the finals in your sleep. another thing i dont quite have the best comprehension of, but what can ya do. im up for the shock of 9th grade when the time comes.

i cant wait until monday when i have nothing to worry about and im totally carefree. i wanna be able to enjoy the beginning of summer with the people i love before we all leave for summer vacations. it really doesnt feel like its the end of school. i dont know what it is, but it just doesnt. i think my dad and i are gunna go with steffi and her family to six flags before she leaves for camp and before we leave for vegas. hopefully before we leave ill be able to have a quick visit with liz who is coming up from florida to go to fire island. too bad shes gunna be there when im not and shes flying home the day before we come back...(sigh) se la vie i guess. we must get a visiting day in before i leave though. im just not used to not spending my 3 weeks a year with liz! so along with those things im going to do before i leave, im gunna have a lot of sleepovers with my chiquitas and im gunna go to aarons good-bye party...(sigh once again).

okay danielle, all we have left is english, math, and spanish....UR ALMOST THERE....U CAN DO IT!!

ps...and as i complete this the sun eeks through the clouds...yay!

okay so ive decided that in my next life, im going to come back as a sea turtle. (lol gabs) i just got back from seeing finding nemo with gabi...cutest movie ever !! crush is my life "dude"...i mean, comon, who couldve ever imagined that i would fall in love with an animated sea turtle with a "gnarly skateboarder/surfer accent"! and his little "dude" son...THE MOST ADORABLE!! anyway, if u havent gone to see finding nemo yet, you really should. "two thumbs up from litoff and acierno!" The social studies final was a breeze, which is kinda weird because most of the material that it was based on was from quite a while ago. I think i did rather well on it. if anyone knows the answer to the one about the new deal program, let me know por favor! i totally made that answer up, i was like....the unemployment program?!? i finished the multiple choice section with 55 minutes to spare, so i was sitting in my desk doing nothing for 55 minutes...(sigh)....i hate not being able to talk. I finished the test and went back to gabis house. we just chilled out for a bit and then we went to lunch at uno. on the way there we saw the central avenue homeless man and gabi's mom told us the saddest story. me and gabs r gunna build him a house for his birthday...i hate seeing homeless people, its absolutely crushing. i mean, its not like he couldve done something to deserve to live on central avenue...its not even fit to be a place for shopping, let alone a living establishment. thanks to him central avenue is that much cleaner, and theres nothing we can do for him...people have attempted (maria) but he runs away. thank u to all the homless people who clean up (haha random i know, but seriously...think about how sad it is)

later tonight is the season premeir of the osbournes....YAY!! i love that show ever so much! theres nothing like a family where u cant understand the dad, the mom doesnt belong yet shes soo totally cool, the little street fighter 'kel', and rehab center occupant jack, who live with 9 dogs, 4 cats, their "nanny" melinda, and an adopted friend of kelly's who is hotthotthott!

STUDYING UP A STORM!!
wow, what a weekend. it all started out on a releiving friday afternoon, just thinking about how i was so excited for school to be over. i was supposed to b hanging out with steffi, but those plans got crushed bc we both had to go home and study for finals...what a ball buster. so i came home and i studied some social studies and some english, and worked a lot on my sludge test. my mom was out at a dinner for work, so i was just home with my dad. then i chilled out for the rest of the night. saturday wasa sucky, except the end was good. I was awakened by my mother at 10:30, went downstairs, ate breakfast, and what else...continued to study. I studied all morning long. I went online and took the online social studies practice final and got an 87, which isnt too bad and im happy with it. later that night steffi came over for a "break from studying party". we ate pizza and did nothing which felt so amazing considering thats all i had wanted to do all weekend, just sit around and do nothing. so then she left and i watched south park, then i went to sleep. today was pretty much a living hell. once again i was awakened at 10:30, i ate breakfast and studied my ass off all day. i've frequently been becoming frustrated with studying and blowing up at ppl when theyre just trying to be nice to me. ive come to the conclusion that finals can bring no good to a person's life. i fucking hate them. im not one to curse a lot, but i fucking hate the fucking finals. do u know who the last of the mound builders were? do u even know what mound builders were?? WELL I DO BECAUSE IVE BEEN STUDYING THIS FUCKING SOCIAL STUDIES PACKET FULL OF NOTHING IMPORTANT. ITS A FUCKING 20 PAGE PACKET AND IT HAS USELESS INFORMATION IN IT. i cannot even express my frustration with these finals. thank god social studies is the first final i have, because if i had to spend another 3 days studying this crap i think i would die. Every time i look at those words i feel like pulling my hair out. i cant take it anymore!!!!! i just keep telling myself, one more week danielle, u can do it, just one more week and ur freeeeeeee! god help me.

"so u think might as well, dance a tango to hell, at least ill have tangoed at all..."
hey again, just got home. the end of my day was uneventful as usual. during lunch they had a huge cake for ppl that r moving away, and many new names were revealed that r on the "moving" list. 10 people, thats 1/10 of our whole grade...sigh. i honestly have to say, that i am really gunna miss aaron. he keeps me on my feet all day with his witty comments and hes just a good friend....well sometimes. i know he means well and im gunna miss him a ton. i was gunna throw him a party with kira, but i found out that his mom or something is already doin it. oh well, what a ball buster lol. so then an hr or two later school was over and i went to get a haircut...nothing too dramatic, i love my long luscious locks, very very much lol. just an inch off. when i got in the chair, the lady was like "do u blowdry ur hair a lot, bc u have lots and lots of breakage on the bottom" i was like yeah, every day lol. so she gave me this stuff that makes ur hair straight and makes a shield against heat or something, i dont really remember what she said but ill try it. then we went to the a&p and bought ice cream cone cereal...its soooooooo yummy!!! ICE CREAM CONES R THE BEST CEREAL EVER!! then i came home and ate some, u should all buy them, they r soooooo delicouso!! thats all for now, im gunna go do some studying for finals...uggh what a bitch.

no subject for this one
im in tech right now, its 10:11 in the morning, and finally the sun is shining again. its like a miracle! i never thought i would see the sun again, but i wasnt let down. u cant get any better than 77 degrees and sunny. since this is only 3rd period i really dont have much to talk about. CHERILYN SAYS HI!! spanish was uneverntful as always, we just sat around and chatted, counted the money from the spanish club dinner last night, and when ms eves left the room like she does every day for like 20 mins, ppl just left and there were like 4 ppl in the room. she was pissed when she came back lol, oh well. i wrote rent lyrics all over her white boards, i listened t the soundtrack on the way to school and now its stuck in my head....why did dorothy and toto go over the rainbow, TO BLOW OFF AUNTIE EM...LA VIE BOHEME!........to handcrafted beers made in local breweries, to yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese, to leather, to dildos, to curry vindaloo, to huevos, rancheros, and maya angelou, emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion, creation, vacation, to mucho masturbation, compassion to fasion, to passion when its new, to sontag, to sondheim, to anything taboo, ginseberg, dylan, cunningham and cage, lenny bruce! langston hughes! TO THE STAGE!!! laalalalalalaaaaaa! what lyrics (sigh) anyway, ill write later when i get home, ill probably have nothing to write about just because its the 2nd to last day of school. write later...

and the daily venting session begins...NOW
heyheyhey, what a tiring day! this morning was the listening part of my spanish final. it was practically the easiest thing ever. lol i honestly have trouble understanding how the listening sections on the unit tests r soooooo hard, and the listening section for the final i couldve aced in my sleep....mind boggling. one of the activities was where u had to say what alberto was going to buy at the store, and they practically read u the shopping list...not that im complaining, im happy that it was easy, just a tad shocked. the rest of my day was just normal classes, thank god i did a lot in the sludge test today, im waaaay further than i was expecting to be. then i came home chilled out for an hour or so, and then started getting ready for the spanish dinner at cactus jacks!!! (I LOVE CACTUS JACKS!!) i took a shower and in the midst of blowing out my hair my mom comes running into my room screaming "danielle ur ride is here!!" so i go down to get the door in my pj's and my hair half done (all bc they picked me up 20 mins early...grrr) so i quickly threw on some clothes and was out the door in 10 mins. so we get to cactus, where i proceed to eat my chicken fajitas (the dinner was yummy as always, chicken fajitas rock my socks!) and spill salsa on my pants :( i sooo knew that was gunna happen. so kira, the queen of spills, tells me that if u put salt on it it comes out...so she purs salt on my pants...lol kira. it came out with water, so much for the salt, thanks a lot kira lol again. then i came home and now im writing this. just wanna give a shoutout to my absolute favorite rockstar liz!! (ILU!!) im gunna go edit my english, grrr i hate hw!
ur muber one rockstar- danielle

i hate finals
uggh, finals r just a bitch and a half...no other way to describe them. and they suck even worse when ur teachers continuously give u hw to do and expect u to study at the same time...grrrr. anyway, today was an okay day, raining yet again. i would be very surprised if the sun ever shines again...it like doesnt stop raining ever and i hate the rain (sigh). the awards ceremony was today, and of course the same people win every award. i can predict whos gunna win every award and its just such a stupid and exclusive thing. i see it as the school trying to show people who the best students r but not realizing that since the whole grade has to go, the people that dont win awards r sitting there watching all these people get them and they dont. its kinda like: let me rub it in ur face how much smarter i am than u r!! is it possible that the school sees right past that? i just dont get it lol. finals r next week and im totally stressing about them. i have this feeling that i dont have enough time to study for all these things. and the stupid sludge test in science...im not gunna have enough time for that either. i mean, its not my fault that i have to do the whole thing alone, if i dont tell my lab partner what to do he wont do it...he doesnt understand the assignment and he wont do n e thing without me telling him to do it first. mr.rubenstein told us to keep everything we collect, so we used some water in a beaker to condense the stuff and he asked if we should save the water....i dont understand y he doesnt have enough confidence in himself to just do what he feels is right, ahh i hope it turns out okay, its a tough project. kk im done venting for the day, write tomorrow.....
