Hi there!
So, right now I'm sitting in Catey and Molly's room in May-Roach Hall which is conveniently located right next to my hall, yay! I'm all moved in back and Smith, except that I still need to get my internet working, though that might have to wait until tomorrow. For now I guess Catey's computer will suffice.
We got moved in without any major problems, so that's good. Also, all my crap fit and Gretchen and I seem to be getting along fine, so that 's coolie.
So far, college life is alright lol. Not much going on. Catey still has unpacking to do...lots of unpacking! And I'm not helping much I guess, but eh, I promised I'd blog more so here I am with this short meaningless entry. I'll probably write something more meaningful as it all starts to hit me later and once I get my own internet working.
Well, that's all for now I guess. Bye!

Procrastination: The Reason behind the Blogging
So I've thought a million times about updating my blog this summer but I just never did...I guess I had better things to do? I don't know. Not a whole lot happened....graduation parties, orientation, Millie, Half-Blood Prince, my trip to Michigan, and now PACKING.
That's probably the reason I'm updating right now...procrastinating the packing. It's just too soon...summer was just getting good, but I'm sure that's how it always feels by the time late August rolls around whether it was actually getting good or not.
My dorm fears...I'm mad that my floor is alternating guys and girls. I mean really, that's just added pressure and added annoyance. I'm horrified that I'll end up next to a bunch of jocky idiots who fart in each other's faces... on the other hand, they could be perfectly nice and nerdy or they could be awesomely campy queens...that would be so cool! Slim chance of it, I know, but the hope keeps me going. Another dorm fear is my roommate, who despite being an art major seems unyieldingly perky and blonde...not sure how I'm going to cope with that but eh, she seems really nice at any rate; hopefully in person we'll hit it off well enough to manage living together for a year. My last fear, I suppose, is the classes and homework...it can't be that bad can it? Oh, and work...kind of nervous about work but hopefully I'll be able to balance my job and my homework....sigh. Blah. Ugh. Cry.
Well, here's to hoping things aren't as bleak as my disposition would have me believe! I guess I have to start packing now, so...So long!

Graduation! and other things...
Well, I am officially a high school student no more! I have my diploma and all of my awesome awards (though I didn't get any cords...) and I am so enjoying the summer!
It's been great so far. The other day I found out that I won the Chairs for Charity poster designing contest. I got $100 that I immediately spent on an awesome 72 pack of prismas (they ROCK!) and my poster will be seen all over town from now until the event happens in late November. It feels pretty cool. I've never won anything before! Yesterday I went to the art museum to have my picture taken with my supervisor and the founders/coordinators of the Chairs for Charity event which should be in the paper some time soon. Not that I've never made the paper before, but this totally beats random pictures of me playing soccer!
So I went to the library yesterday and got a bazillion different books on fairy tales and folk legends, and I'm currently working on the works of Hans Christian Anderson. Some of them are rather cute, and some are rather sad, like the story of the Fir Tree. :(
Anyway, I also decided to break in my new Prismas yesterday and started this sort of trippy picture of Alice stomping through the grass when she's three inches high. It's not coming out exactly how I wanted it, but hopefully I'll finish it up later today and we'll see how it turns out.
Now, as for my graduation party, it was a blast! We had good food, a good server, and we played beer pong! My grandparents were playing for goodness' sake! I was really bad though; I didn't get a single one in! Oh well. My brother was very good though (cough, cough). Oh, and just for the record, we under-twenty-ones did not drink (even though I could have since I had parental consent and hand-to-hand transfer, which is legal in Wisconsin, :D). I got some nice gifts, mostly money, which will really help out and most likely go towards a laptop for college this fall! It was kind of embarrasing though, because after I left, my parents stayed and drank with some of the other parents there and got smashed :$ Oh well. They sobered up so all is well.
My only complaint about this summer so far is that all my friends are busy with Millie, so I hardly talk to them, much less see them anymore, though the summer is admittedly young. We never seem to be online at the same time, lol. I guess I just don't stay up late enough to catch them and I'm up way too early when they sleep in. But hey, there are lots of grad parties coming up so we're bound to party together once more! It's only, what, the second week of vacation? We simply must go to the beach when it gets nicer out! Tis always fun to go swimming in the lake!
Well I should wrap this up. Bye!

Four Years
Well, that's it. High school is over for good. It seems like it could be any other day: gray, rainy, cold (in May!). But today was truly our last day at Roncalli High School. I'm caught between sadness and excitment, which has left me just feeling detached and indifferent. Life goes on. We must move on too. Still, some things I'll miss; like all my friends that I'm leaving behind in the fall to attend Point. While some I'll take with me, some I'll leave behind, and some I'll make anew. I don't think a sense of total freedom will hit me until graduation...or maybe tomorrow morning when I wake up at whatever hour I please. Still...one era of my life is over, but I'm glad it was in the first place. Some have said that high school is the best time of our lives...but I don't think that's true at all. Anyone who says that has just never grown beyond those four years as teens in their hometown. As a senior, I've enjoyed feeling like top-dog, but I know I'll get more than a taste of humble pie when I arrive in Point this fall. Hopefully I'll be ready to take it, and makes some new friends, have new experiences, and grow in the next set of four years.

Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day!
Anyway, just a short update here. Two more days of high school left, YAY! As soon as summer roles around, I expect that I'll write more updates, hopefully detailing all the drawing and writing and reading and sewing and whatnot that I'll do. I bought some fabric today and I am SO EXCITED!
Oh, yes, we saw Star Trek on saturday. That was good. SPOCK WAS HOT! :D And the whole movie was awesome! Seriously everyone (except the bad guys, who were kind of meh) was so good. I was really iffy at first, but I need not have worried. They kept true to the spirit of Star Trek! Oh, and did anybody else catch the not-so-subtle references to a certain other sci-fi universe? Made me laugh a little inside. I'll always be a Star Wars girl, I guess. Still, Star Trek rocked. It made me really want to watch Next Generation for some reason.
Well, I probably won't hit the theatres again until Half Blood Prince finally is released. Stupid fucking Warner Bros. assholes making us wait half a year for a movie that's just been sitting there, finished, so they can supposedly make more money. >:(
Here's to the last two days of high school. Goodbye Roncalli. Hello Summer of Oppurtunity. College is just on the Horizon.

Oh Happy May!
Happy May everybody! It may not feel like it yet, but summer is on its way, along with sweet sweet freedom from highschool forever!
That aside, today I spent four and a half hours doing half of the "tpcastt"s that I didn't do before. Man, those are just a tedious pain! But I am done, yay! Now I need to make a presentation for physics and figure out how to build a boat! Not yay!
On a different 'note' (just wait, there's a pun coming) I've discovered a new (to me) musician! Emilie Simon! She's funky, trippy, cute, and French so you know she's good! ;D I'm absolutely in love! I don't know why I've never stumbled across her before, but I love how she's kind of a strange cross between Olivia Lufkin and Etro Anime... And her videos are so creepy/cute! She's so perfect for Lolita! lol.
As for many things, we turn to the annals of Youtube for audio/visual reference:
Desert (French Version)

Fleur de Saison

And my favorite: Flowers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_1MR2XOjz4&feature=related
There are so many awesome others though! I just keep watching them over and over and over and over! Plus, she gets major props for creating music that I can actually do homework to. Not that it doesn't capture the attention, but it also makes great thinking music. :P
Well, that's about all I have to say!
Dani
P.S. Oh yeah, I really want to make something for my mother (perhaps draw her something?) for mother's day this year, but I don't know exactly what I should do, so suggestions are appreciated! I'm actually looking forward to Mother's Day this year, since we'll be going down to Campbellsport, which is usually fun, and then I think my mom and I are going to stop at the Sheboygan Falls Mall thingy (you know, by Chili's!) and see if we can find some things for graduation. I want to wear Lolita, but we'll see how that goes. No need to be scaring away the relatives I hardly see who will come and give me large sums of cash for finally getting the hell out of school! XD
P.P.S. Ugh! AP English test this weeeeek! :O

A Quick Update While I Procrastinate
Weeeeelll,
So, we went to Mexico, it was a blast, did not get the swine flu (really, blown out of proportion much?) and returned home safely! Then it was time for prom, which was pretty fun and we all looked amazing and preeettty! :D No seriously, we rocked. Anywho, I'm behind in homework (AP English, Calc, Physics, Psychology) and I seem determined to wait until the end of the year to do anything since I don't have any motivation at the moment. I've lately been spending my time playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and reading Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal, which has been interesting, to say the least.
We're going to Mr. RHS tomorrow night, which should be fun, but we'll have to postpone our Chinese and Disney night ...perhaps until the summer! :O
Well, that's about it for now. Ciao!
