February 2010

 goodbye february! you were a fun month. a lot of things happened in you this year. i got my permit and started driving, we had a snow day, and i was pretty much always happy! i had a lot of fun but im glad you're over. i like spring much better than winter and i really cant wait for summer.
its funny how my favorite day of winter this year was friday, the day we got a snow day for the weather being so bad. it wasnt that cold but there was tons of snow! it would have been a perfect day to go out and go sledding or make a snowman or something. i didnt do that but i hung out with mel mel! me, her, and eric walked to guidas and back friday night. that was fun.
anywho i went to the mall a ton of times and got a bunch of stuff. thats always fun. i hung out with caty and jess over break. i started looking for a job. i got my grades up. i got some new favorite songs (and some favorite old ones :] ). and im sure a bunch of other stuff happened too but whatevs. you were a good month and you will be missed.
goodbye february 2010

things i love thursday

• my awesome freshman computer class. i seriously love all of them!
• my awesome english teacher. hes sooo funny, even if its in a "mock dana and be mean but funny" kind of way.
• ninaa; duhh.
• ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone!
• being loud and randomly funny.
• beasting at volleyball in gym.
• sleeping!
• music. i love music sooo much. favorite song at the moment = bedrock.
• not texting that much. it saves the battery. who woulda thought? :p
• being a smarty pants and figuring out where to put the speakers for my computer and finding my camera plug! :]
• not spending money. this way you'll have some when you wanna do something fun!
• getting my real permit in the mail :] i love it! i feel all adultish.

so i kinda just realized today that one of my weaknesses with guys is being (as racist as this sounds i mean it in no way racist this is just how i am) black, cute, and randomly funny. like if you're black and cute and you do the randomest thing and i laugh, id probably be head over heels for you. and another weakness that i already knew is sweetness. like no matter who you are, if you are super sweet to me i'll probably get a little crush on you.
so yeahh. im gonna go babysit in a little bit. i wont be home till 11. then i have to shower and stuff so im gonna be uber tired when i wake up at 5:30am. >.< oh well. :]

little letters

dear alyssa,
i havnt seen you in over a year and today we are going to hang out.  i have no idea how its gonna be but im pretty sure nothings changed and we'll be just the same as we've always been. although the whole reason we arent that close anymore is your fault. you changed. you were just some cute little girl and then you went to high school and became gothic. no, thats not a bad thing but it was different. and then you got a boyfriend and you spend every single minute with him. dont you need some space every now and then? but besides all that, im glad i get to see you now.

dear nina,
i love you! you are my most favorite thing ever. when you die im definitely gonna cry. but you are sooo stupid and bipolar haha. we'll be laying in my bed all nice and you'll randomly out of nowhere attack me! and you open my door and then just sit in the hallway looking in. ugh stupid cat. i love you.

dear winter,
you are close to leaving. i can tell. this may be mean but... i will not miss you. i like it soo much better in the spring and summer when theres no snow and you can sit on the ground and be warm and walk places without freezing your face off! winter, you were fun when i was little but not so much anymore. so im ready for you to leave.

dear clothes,
i have sooo much of you. and i love you all but whenever i put some of you on im just like "eww i look gross" so i never wear you. im sorry for neglecting you soo much. im gonna try, once the snow is gone, to help myself so i will wear you more.

dear boy,
you're always on my mind. i love this little bet we've got going. because im totally gonna win and get that taco. and if i dont, ill still win. because the only way you're getting a taco is if you're with me. :]

love,
dana

story of my life.

so i like this guy, right? and i told him that last night. heres our little conversation:
"i kinda sorta might like you a little bit. lol"
"andd when did you kinda sorta might starts to think that?"
"about a week or so ago."
"ohhh. sorry if i dont respond. im drivingg."
and we've just been talking like normal. so its just like out there in the open. my friends told me he doesnt like me... but hes never said that. so i can hope, right? i mean, he might not like me. but you never know. maybe he secretly does! haha all i know is that i read his blog and with every little thing i see on there, it makes me like him more.
yeahh so thats my boy stuff. now heres some girl stuff.
i was with jessica on friday, jess and caty on saturday, caty on tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, and lauren thursday too. today im going to alyssa meyers house. shes kinda like my sister. i grew up with her because my mom babysat her as a child. we've been best friends for forever. im not so sure anymore. the last time i saw her was my birthday party last year! and we're two completely different people. we're kinda just drifting apart slowly. which is sad to think about but true. but today and tomorrow ill be with her and im sure we'll have fun!
break is almost over and that makes me sad. i do miss school but i like not having to worry about work and stuff. i guess thats life. half the school year is over already. summer is on its way :]

Happy Valentines Day!

today is valentines day! on this day every year there are the people who have boyfriends and girlfriends who are all happy and cute and whatnot. and then there are those people that are single and make this day suck. i dont get it. why cant you just be happy? why cant you just go out and have fun with your friends instead of your boyfriend or girlfriend? i've been single pretty much every valentines day of my life, including this year. but im happy! i love seeing all the cute things boys do for their girlfriends. i love seeing people happy.
today is also my mom and step dads one year anniversary. its not a very happy day for them though. they dont love eachother. its quite sad. they argue about everything and anything. its like non stop grrr rawrrr! they dont get a long, like ever! and as much as i dont want to see my mom getting divorced again, i dont want to see her with someone who doesnt make her happy. she can be happy by herself. he only makes her angry. and if he left, she wouldnt care. and i kno this for a fact.
but anywho... on a happier matter... what are all your plans for valentines day? :]

little letters

dear besties,
we are soooo funny. its amazing how we can just sit on a bed for hours and keep ourselves amused... in a non sexual way! lmao just thought id put that out there.

dear chandler,
you hugged me yesterday and i liked it! but i dont like you. and i think im over you... for the most part at least. which makes me happy because this means i can move forward with my life and not be stuck going on and off with you. we had fun and i wont ever forget about you, but its time to move on.

dear valentines day,
you are tomorrow. i love you even though most of the time i dont have a valentine. this year i do! but even when i didnt i loved valentines day. its just a sweet day where people are nice and cute and stuff. its awesome!

dear overachiever taco,
you werent very overachieving. you were good, but kinda wimpy. i should have gotten the fat sam like jess haha.

dear self,
you have to start eating healthier. maybe if you do that and exercise you'll get skinny! and then you'll feel better about yourselff. blahhh. lets make a plan!

things i love thursday! (on friday)

sometimes i forget its thursday... so you'll probably see "things i love thursday (on friday)" a lot lol. so anyways, here ya go.

• getting my permit.
• driving for the first time ever!
• having awesomely funny friends.
• my english teacher that i will adopt one day :]

guess who just got their permit?! i believe the answer would be Dana Christine Smith aka me! :] i was soo nervous. and i was confused on some of the questions but you really just gotta go with what you think is the right thing to do. i got a question wrong but it was a stupid question anyways and i dont care haha. i passed and thats all that matters! woo! yeah so i've never driven... and i might do that this weekend with my mommy... if not then i definitely will next week. im too busy this week. so hows the day going for you, lovies?

little letters

dear horrible brother,
i hate you. like more than anyone. i dont get why you're so mean to me. i've done nothing to you. you just dont like me for some reason. and i dont mean anything to you.

dear step sister,
i try so hard to get your attention... but it never works. you ignore me and spend all your time with my brother. you dont even realize you do it, even though i've said something about it more than once. maybe i should just give up.

dear degrassi,
you are an amazing yet over dramatic show. i love you haha. you keep me and zoe very amused.

dear chandler & melissa,
i really am trying to be happy for you. it might take me a while to get used to this but i will eventually. i hope things between us wont be awkward.

Thank God it's Friday night and I just-just-just-just-juuuuuuust got paid

so its fridayy! at the moment i am home with eric, will, lauren, and matt. they are all sitting on a bench playing halo. im sorta left out... but thats nothing new because i always am. but this cant ruin my night! oh no! in a few minutes i will be on my way to zoes house. we will watch degrassi and watch the new love games episodes! it will be pretty awesomee. tomorrow im going to babysit and get some moneyy! which is always a good thing. and on wednesday i am going to the DMV to get my permitttt! ahhhh who can wait for that?! i know i cant! dana on the road. lol people should be scared :p
anywho thats just a little update ish type thingg. so have a good weekend!

things i love thursday

• getting my permit tomorrow possiblyy
• being in a class with  some of my favorite people (zoe, hakiere, melissa, brian, delmar, etc)
• my awesome penguin shirt
• nina, of course
• sandwiches on hot dog buns
• the name Mario. i simply love it!
• the new show life unexpected. i love it!
• being happy and friendly and bubbly.
• being happy for other people.
• music. listening to it all the time is a must.
• peace signs.

so eric and lauren told me that the permit test is really easy and i think im ready for it. lauren said all you need to study for is the signs and alcohol. eric said all i need to study is the signs. thy said everything else is common sense. i took a few practice tests before and got either 100 or close to that and today i took an alcohol test and i got 1 out of 20 questions wrong. i also took a sign test and got 100%. so im pretty sure ill do just fine. so my mom is making me pay for half of it and i have that. so if tomorrow she is willing to take me, i will go and take my test and hopefully get my permit :]

little letters

i do these a lot now but i feel like this is a way to get my feelings out about things and its better than just in a paragraph.and it gives you hints as to what im doing these days.

dear rumors,
stop. all rumors in the whole wide world just stop. you are no good for anyone. you are a waste of time and i dont like you.

dear people who talk,
talk about nice things. make people feel better, not worse. is it funny to make fun of people? because i dont really think it is. its hurtful and stupid. it just shows how low self confidence you have.

dear chemistry,
i dont understand at all. im good at the stuff i do in class. but on your test i did horrible. 56 after the curve >.< so why must you be so difficult in test form?

dear self,
you are being very emotional and i dont get it. you're the happiest person ever but once you're alone and you think about something bad you turn to tears. it's been happening a lot lately.

dear friends,
thank you. you make me feel so much better. you keep my mind occupied and let me have a good time. also when im not having a good time you cheer me up. you guys are the best.

Happy February!

good afternoon everyone :] today is going well. i dont know that it will end well but for now its well. today is february 1st and february break is in 2 weeks! i cant wait. i love having breaks. also im doing this thing called "Teddy Dance for Love" im raising money and on the 13th? im going to a dance where me and mel will stay up for 24 hours straight dancing and whatnot. all the money gets donated to camp good days. i feel like a good person :]. if you have any money or could ask your relatives for any and have a way to get it to me id be grateful. i need $50 at least to participate. i have about $32 so i only need a little more.
