things i love thursday!

• not having anything to do today! (this is a good thing because i've been really busy a lot lately. i like having some me time.)
• mels birthdayy! shes 18! holy biscuits shes old!
• the fact that i almost spelled biscuits right for the first time! (i had to look up how it was spelled and i was only 1 letter off!)
• workk. es muy divertido. even though i had to ask a million questions while working the cash register, it was megaa fun!
• erics birthday cake. its yummmmy. 
• getting paiddd. i got my first pay check last nightt :] only $26 but that was for orientation only.
• ninaaaa :] duhh.
• being told i have pretty eyes 4 times in the past few days by two 20 year old boys, a 17 year old boy, and some random lady that i had as a customer yesterday :]
• wearing make up! i like itt :] dont get me wrong, we are all beautiful without make up too! but i like wearing make up. at least just a little.
• being friends with chandler. i know this is kinda random, but i love being friends with him! we arent jealous of each others relationships even though i dont have one atm. and we arent awkward around each other! its greatt :] exs can be friends.

being the bigger person

is hard sometimes, but it shows maturity. im gonna ramble about how i had to be the bigger person just a few minutes ago on here because i dont wanna do it where everyone is gonna see and think im immature. nobody looks at my blog but me and a few close friends so i dont mind them seeing haha.
sooo... me and my friend dylan were play arguing over who was nicer, me or him. he posted his facebook status as "like this if you know im nicer than dana smith" some people liked it but everyone was just playing around like us. then dylan said "im gonna win but i still love you dana." and one of zoes friend andral comments randomly on the status saying "we dont love her. dont get her hopes up." so i said "was that necessary?" and she said "i felt it was necessary to let you know i dont like you." and another girl jazmine commented saying "dang andral i was gonna say something similar but you said it better" so then i said "um i know you dont like me and the feeling is mutual. and it wasnt necessary over a facebook status that was for fun." and the jazmine girl says "so your mad now? and i care because?" and andral says exactly "haha thiz type ov shit makes mhe laff....i felt iht was necessary so i dnt give a fucq wat u say anywaiizz since ihtz known tht we don't like each other i waz just nice enough to do it on facebook opposed to me doing iht in person and watching tht stupid look appear on ur fucqing face :)" (both the girls typed like that btw) and i soo badly wanted to go off on her saying shit but i decided that it wouldnt make me any better than her so i just commented saying "someones mature" and i left it at that. i will not be responding to it either unless something else is said that is like mega over the edge. 
soooo sorry about my ranting but it pissed me off and i had to get it out some how. other than that i am having a lovely day with my bestie caty. we will be going to play soccer in a few with jess and her family and their friends and stuff.

happy birthday to youu.

so today is my brothers nineteenth birthday! im not a big fan of his but he is my brother so i've decided to at least say happy birthday to him on here. sooo, happy birthday eric!

now anywho... haha today is also my half birthday! (erics birthday is my half birthday and my birthday is erics half birthday. exactly 2 years and 6 months apart). im the lame 1 in a million person who actually counts that. well i dont consider it like a big thing or anything but whenever its july 26 i tell people its my half birthday. so im exactly 16 and a half todayy! only 6 more months of being sixteen. :]

when is your half birthdayy?

just a little late

sooo i totally never put up any pictures from summer jam and thats because theres only like one >.< but umm... ill put it up now!

sooo there is lauren and her boyfriend kirk (the two in the back with sun glasses) meee (with my tongue out) laurens friend sarah and her boyfriend (i dont remember his name but shes the adorable girl with the boy behind her) then laurens asian friend nicole (the one with the sun glasses in the front that looks asian haha) and then another of her friends named sarah. and that was our little summer jam group. :]

its just a little complicated

i dont understand why you cant be happy for me. i know you dont like him, but i do.

hope is a wonderful thing

and that is why i never lose it. remember that boy i was just talking aboutt? the one that i really like that i was losing hope for but i still had that little bit? well its a good thing i had that hope because guess whatt? he likes meeee! i havent actually gotten him to say it yet but its quite obvious. i asked him if he did and he was avoiding the question. i kept harassing him about it so he finally said maybe. now, if he didnt like me, hed just say it! but he kept saying maybe and stuff. sooo im working on getting him to admit it. but im pretty darn sure he does.
obviously things dont always turn out the way you wanted, but dont lose hope because something else could happen that you wouldnt expect. lifes is full of surprises and you just gotta wait for the right ones.

things i love thursday.

• seeing my besties all the time! 
• having a job. and a name tag!! hahah 
• knowing that im no longer gonna be poor. i can spend a little more money and not be worried about not having any left.
• playing soccer with friends every tuesday nightt. its a new thing but its mega fun.
• geometry class. i still enjoy it. i need to study though to make sure i pass the testt. note to self: make flash cards.
•  having long pretty nails. i was afraid having no nail polish would make them ugly but i think they look great!
• washing my hands while singing the happy birthday song twice! its how i gotta do it for taco bell so im getting into the habit! 
• nina and music. the two i always love. i decided to put them together this time.
• hoping. its what i do best. i'll never give it up :]

soooo thats all for this weeeek :] i hope you are all enjoying yourselves and having a wonderful week as well!

every time i get that little bit of hope, something changes it.

so as you all know, i like a boy. and this isnt one of those times where im like i think i like him but im not sure. or where i like him and someone else. no this isnt like that. i like him and i like him a lot and hes the only boy i like at the moment. wow i said like a lot in those few sentances... anywhoo... so yeah i like him.
we text all the time and its not even like i text him first all the time. he texts me first sometimes too! i know thats not much important but it shows he was thinking about me even for just a second to think of texting me. also i've seen him more than usual recently. i've seen him at least 4 times in the past week. and its not like we see each other for a second and go back to our lives. he was at my house, downstairs flirting with me while everyone else was upstairs. and we played soccer together with some friends and we went back to our friends house and were flirting. also he said he is gonna take me to see despicable me sometime. sooo ya know what my crazy mind thought up?? i thought that he might like me too. i had that little hope. stupid me huh? because on his blog it says that he thinks some girl is amazingly pretty and that her personality is bomb. im not that girl.
soooo im back to where i was, secretly crushing on this boy. maybe someday things will be different.

a confession.

sometimes i am perfectly fine with my body, but most of the time im not. i mean i know im not fat... but im not skinny. sometimes i think i look realllly good. but mostly just because my face. i think i have a really pretty face. okay lets go back a few years...

coming into wilson, 7th grade, not much boys liked me. i had a total of one real boyfriend previous to that. boys didnt say i was pretty or hot or anything. i know of 2 boys that liked me while i was in the 7th grade. then 8th grade. not much of an improvement. again with the whole like 2 guys liking me thing. that was the end of that.

9th grade. high school (even though technically i was still in the middle school). im not sure if i changed or if guys changed but a lot more guys liked me. i had at least 3 boyfriends and i was called cute a lot. then 10th grade, this past year, same thing. i had at least 3 boyfriends. i got called cute, pretty, hot, sexy. this never really happened to me before this year. it made me feel really good and hearing this stuff boosts my confidence a lot.

i was talking to jess one time and she said that she gets jealous sometimes because people tell me im pretty a lot and even though she knows shes pretty people just dont tell her like they tell me. this got me thinking. when people tell me im pretty, i enjoy it, a lot. but i dont show it and brag about it. because i realize that it could hurt other peoples feelings. it might make them not feel good about themselves.

example: the other day me and caty went to javas and met up with 3 of her friends. i did think a couple of them were cute but i wasnt gonna say anything to caty cuz i didnt wanna seem like a creeper or anything. after i left caty told me that 2 of them said i was hot and wanted to add me on facebook. it made me feel really good about myself to know that 2 really cute guys think im hot. but i didnt want to keep talking to caty about it just in case it made her feel bad or anything.

so the confession i was originally trying to say is that hearing nice things from guys makes me feel really good about myself, but i hold it in to make sure i dont make others feel less good.

amazing day!

started off going to school with caty. and i was going to get my bus pass when i ran into my math teacher from this previous year! then we went to class and it was easy and stuffs. then me and caty came home and i made us some ham&egg&cheese sandwiches. then i called taco bell and guess what? I GOT THE JOB! woooo! oh yesss! sooo i have orientation some time next week. anywhoo... then we took a bus to javas where we waited for her friends. we eventually were there with sterling, joey, and shamell. we played pool and i pretty much sucked... but then out of nowhere i got 2 balls in! :] yayyy. and it was raining a lott but my mom came to pick me up and i had to go out in the rain to get in the car and i got really wet after like 5 seconds in the rain. and now i am home. so today was pretty fun for me. i hope you are all having lovely days :]

little letters.

dear boyfriend,
we're having problems... well... i am at least. we've been dating for over 2 months now and our relationship has barely gone anywhere. i want us to act more like a couple. sooo im gonna talk to you about this because if i just break up with you, nothing good will come from that. but if we dont change soon... this might be over.

dear other boy,
i like you. i know its bad to like you while i have a boyfriend but i cant help it. and im pretty darn sure you dont like me... but i still have that little hope that i always had. i think i might always like you... but i just like you more when i actually talk to you a lot like i do now.

dear other other boy,
you were right. i didnt know it at the time, but you were. i wont ever admit it because id feel like a complete idiot but its true. and it bugs me how much of a jerk you can be sometimes. i probably wont talk to you for a while though. it would just be too weird.

dear tony from taco bell,
please hire me. i had an interview with you yesterday and i think it was decent. im not sure exactly what you were looking for or how interviews usually go because this was my first but im just hoping you like me enough to give me the job. i would be a great employee.

dear summer school,
you're not that bad. i actually kinda like you which is such a lame thing to say. im not alone this year like i was last because i have caty. also even though i havent taken geometry yet... im one of the smartest kids in the class, its amazing! im soo gonna pass the test.

six week plan.

so me and caty have a six week plan that started today! it consists of:

• summer school. geometry. im not sure about caty but im behind in math because my schedule was messed up and i've taken algebra for 3 years in a row so im taking this class to get where im supposed to be. the awesome part about us going to summer school is that we are in the same class! so we wont ever be lonely. :]
• working out. well kinda. in the seventeen magazine there is a little 6 week thing with different exercises and whatnot. it tells us what to do and how often to do it. we will be doing it when we have time, about 3 times a week. today we did some sort of yoga.
• running and/or walking. caty will be running with jess in the mornings before coming to my house to go to school and i will be on the treadmill probably after school before i take a shower.
• eating better. i told my mom to get some fruit and stuff! fruit is not only healthy but very yummy. im going to also try to eat whole weat bread instead of white even though i cant stand it.

so that is me and catys six week plan! think we can do it? ill update about once a week letting you know how its going for us.
