So I'm just gonna copy and paste from a bunch of stuff I wrote in my xanga this week. Lots has gone on! It's all kinda random, so congrats if you make it all the way through.

Monday:
Car Partaaaaaaay!

Tomorrow is it. The date we've been planning for quite some time. I've invited lots of people and it's gonna be so much fun. It's......the car party! We're gonna celebrate the fact that our dearest Chris (hehe) has finally gotten his hardship liscense and has a parking space at school. And he's only a freshman. That kinda makes him a king among all us non-liscensed fishies

I'm an over-acheiver, though. Sort of. The price is $2 (I'm sorry, but even for my friends I can't fork over $20 by myself for pizza), and I've got someone bringing cups, Chris brining drinks, and Sarah bringing the CD player, and I've made my own specials Chris's car party mix. I may be the only one enjoying the music, but oh well, lol. I've tried to mix some old and new stuff in so everyone can enjoy it somewhat. I'm considerate like that, lol.

So I'm so excited! I just hope I can get out of class early enough so that I don't have to miss too much, since I have to go pick up the pizzas ($5 a large if you do pick-up during lunch at Papa John's....not a bad deal?). I don't think I've ever been more excited about going to lunch. It's gonna be amazing! And I'm definitely bringing the camera....my mom has trained me well.

So, as soon as I get film developed, be looking forward to some pictures from tomorrow's excitement. 40 minutes of pure lunch happiness! Is anyone else as excited as I am?!?!?!

Wednesday:

I think I'm beginning to remember why I used to love lunch so much, and why Chris was (and is) one of my best friends. We all have so much fun together. Lunch is the best.

Yesterday's car party was a blast! We devoured those three large pizzas in no time, and I don't think we've all ever been together in that big of a group. No one counted, but there was at least 12 of us there (including three people I've never met- two of Chris's friends, and one exhange student someone invited). Let's see....it was me, Marissa, Laura, Sarah, Elizabeth, Aneisha, Enisa (sp??), Chris, Chris's two friends, Switzerland, and I'm sure there were more than I'm just neglecting to remember. So, that's 11. Anyways, you get the picture. Anyways, poor Chris had to put up with all of those girls. I was thinking later, "Wow, he'd be great for The Bachelor. He can deal being around that many women at once!" Anyways, it was so much fun, and we all had a blast celebrating Chris's parking spot, hehe.

Then today me and Chris (and Elizabeth somehow also ended up there, lol) went to Pizza Hut, and then went back to The Table. I ended up hanging out with Stephanie, Jason, and Chris the whole time. That was....interesting. Scary. Random. But so much fun! It was full of much chasing, stealing, chasing some more and of course, laughing. I somehow ended up in possession of Chris's hat, which I forgot to give back, so I still have it. I've grown rather fond of it...think I'll keep it . Anyways, I've only ever said a few words to Jason, but he's a really nice guy. He goes to a church nearby, and whenever he sees me he's like, "Go COC people!" Lol. Oh yes, go us. Anyways, we had some weird encounters in which Stephanie decided to be Chris's girlfriend and I, in turn, got Jason....random? And I found out that if you ask them nicely enough, guys will go get your purse and backpack for you! Isn't that special? Me and Stephanie also tried to torture Chris by tickling him (because he claims it's not evil, which is most certainly IS!!!!). And then Jason freaked me out with his under-weightness....I think I actually screamed when I could feel the complete outline of his ribcage. I can fit my hands around his upper arm with plenty of room to spare WHEN he is flexing. Not that he's weak. He picked up Chris, who is taller than him and not freakishly underweight. Except for his knees . And the best line of the day was definitely when Jason said something like "Fine, me and Dani will run away together cuz I can actually pick her up. I could pick you up too, but you won't let me." Haha. Stephanie is such an abusive girlfriend. If she were an abusive boyfriend, she'd get in trouble and go to jail, but since she's an abusive girlfriend, everyone just thinks it's funny. Anyways, I definitely got a good umpteenth impression of Jason, since it was the first time I'd actually really gotten to talk to him and stuff. And hanging out with Stephanie is never, ever boring. And, of course, everything is good when Chris is there. So, if you made it through that whole paragraph, I'm sure it goes without saying that I had a blast at lunch today.

I got about 50 million compliments on how I looked today. According to Jason (geez, I've talked about him a lot today....good guy!) I "won". When I asked what that meant, Stephanie said "It means he likes your out fit better than mine." LOL! And so many people, even guys, would be like, "Nice outfit" or "I like your shirt" (two or three guys said that....weird?). Anyways, I felt very pretty today. I should dress up more often.
I basically taught my math class today. We had a quiz on surface area, and I was done within the first 20 minutes. Me and one other girl. Apparently we were the only ones who got it. I guess I "cheated" but eventually our subsitute caught on and actually gave real permission. Every five seconds someone would say, "Hey Dani, how does this work?" or "This is what I got, what'd you get?" or "I swear this is the last time, but could you explain...". The sub actually asked me to help two people on the quiz....weird. And then everyone around me was asking me what I got and whatnot. I never gave out answers, just advice, so I guess it wasn't cheating. The sub appreciated it, I think. She said she'd tell him I "helped out". I was like...uh, ok, as long as I don't get in trouble for it, lol.
So, yes, today was a very good day. There's a whole lot more I could probably talk about, but this is already a lot. So, yah, that's all for now folks!

Love, Dani

This breath. This second. This moment. This life. I love living; there is so much beauty.

I took my camera to school the last few days...when I get the film developed I'll scan a few and put them on here.

Anyways, random entry today. It's the weekend, as I just recently found out. Honestly, I didn't realize that it was Friday until about an hour ago. So, yay! The weekend! Yes, so, all those words up there are the little things that I have loved about this past week.

I love you. No, really. I love you.

<3, Dani
