A Story about Amanda...

I keep telling Amanda to blog and she doesn't. Which is what's happened with all the girls, but I hang out with her the most, so she's the only one who has to suffer any consequences.

We hung out with a bunch of people last week, of the bunch, one was this cute boi who Amanda sometimes has a thing for. As we were leaving she was all 'should I text him' and I said yes, but I'm OCD with the texting, so maybe it's not the best idea to get text advice from me, b/c if I like you, chances are the second you're out of my sight you're being texted.

Long-story-short, she reads the text to me that she's about to send...something along the lines of "thanks for coming out, you rock!"

Now...I might not be right about the first part, but I know for a fact "you rock!" -please notice the exclamation point- was in there, b/c I promptly made her take it out.

Here's my question. or...ponder..ing...ness...if you will...

Amanda is really awesome, I mean REALLY awesome, not only do I not understand why she doesn't have a boyf, but I don't understand why this boi isn't all over her. And moreso I don't understand why when really really rad people like Amanda (i include myself on this one) have sort of crushes on people, we immediately say things we haven't said since 8th grade. i.e. "you rock!"

Soon enough we'll be texting eachother 'this party totally rox! lol'

My AIM screen name at one point was BritneyRox

Lessons in Regression

So, my last Gf, "pretty ok," and I did that thing where we were bff's that fell for each other. Having a connection on that level made it so we both knew it was not going to work about 2 weeks before we called it off. In those two weeks my head was spinning like a windmill, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, mostly in the same direction though...Anyway, the point is, I'm getting over it a lot faster than I would think. I mean, I had to stop following pretty.ok on tumblr bc it was making me feel really weird, but...i feel like i'm supposed to miss her a lot more than I do.

As they always do, new crushes immediately ensued.

Which, of course, is where my regression comes in.

The act of (un)knowingly regressing to my tween years.

I didn't have a cell phone when I was a tween-ager, much less did i have texting, but I assure you, if I did and if I had, I would have obsessively checked it and made sure it was on vibrate and not silent over and over and over the way I do right now. So my tween self and I have things in common. If I had a trapper keeper, I would most certainly be drawing hearts around your name. Not because I'm in love with you, or even want to date you, but because it always feels nice to feel giddy, and drawing hearts is an art all its own.

P.s. I can't tell whether or not you're flirting with me.

I think there should be a rule (i'm flirting with you) should be inserted at the beginning of a text message if you're flirting with me. ok?

We lasted about a week...

Ooooh Makin out in the City...what are you doing to yourself?

nothing.

exactly. I had an entire relaysh without blogging once. Siiigh. What was I thinking...I WASN'T.

So I totes fell for one of my best friends, which wasn't a mistake by any means, but when god, family, friends and distance all rear their ugly heads at the same time, two girls have a phone talk that ends in 'well, that was a lot easier than i thought' ...Needless to say we made the mutual decizh to call it quits on something that was actually pretty damn rad. Oh well, what is there to do when a little asian girl from the south needs to figure her self out and a self-proclaimed 'city girl' who's chasing her career can't help??

I ate at Whole Foods today with my lovely little gay boi coworker, josh. He goes on a lot of dates, a lot of really bad dates...How do people get dates? I don't know if I've ever even been on a date, unless I was already dating the person...isn't that backwards?

Is that a gay-gal thing?

p.s. i hate the word lesbian.

love,
Dannielle

Amanda "What's Eye-Contact?"

I saw Hoodie twice this week. We manage to have pretty civil conversations when placed in a room together. They only last about one minute and don't involve any eye-contact. None. If I look at him, he's not looking at me. Then, if I see him start to look to me, I'm automatically staring at the microwave. There are two times that we're guaranteed to look at one another, and that's when we either first see eachother or when one of us is leaving for the day. Then we get all our flirting out and smile and wave and I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. Hmm...how can I trap this boy into liking me? Does that sound creepy enough? Or should I splash some more crazy into there?

Working with my friends is one of the most rewarding things in the world. I'm part of a show called Dollop and about 7 of us collaborate to write, film, and act in it. We had a writing meeting at Intelligentsia the other day, and while looking around I started to think....we are the coolest five people in here. Including the 3 hipster baristas. Wow. And it feels so awesome to have a vision and have it agree with 6 other people's. And to LAUGH with people. God. I need to stop being so socially awkward and be around people. They make me so happy sometimes. I also need to buy vaccumm bags. Reminder.

Sorry, Dannielle, for lagging on the posts. Holidays were a time away from the computer for me. Now, I'm back. And listening to Michelle Branch on Pandora...jealous?
