I like strange television. Get over it!

AHHHHHHHHH! real monsters!

Anywho.....how are you guys doing this fine evening (actually, it's morning. evening just sounded better)? Last night, I watched the season finale of the 4th series of SKINS (really awesome british tv show). And all I have to say is: I WANTED TO SEE COOK BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF JOHN FOSTER! CRAPPY ENDING, MY FRIENDS, CRAPPY ENDING! AND YOU SUCK FOR KILLING OFF FREDS!

Okay, now that's out of my system......started watching a new show. Guess what it is! Guess what it is! My Life As Liz, of course. Yeah, I am aware that a lot of people think it is stupid. But, I love it. My best mate, Cyd, said I should watch it because everytime she watches it, she screams "JORDAN!!!!" at the screen, because, apparently, Liz and I are exactly the same. Don't you just love my use of run-on sentences in this thing!?! Yeah, that's how I scored a 1960 on the SAT, bitches!

Got my hair did yesterday. It looks pretty rad.....I also got set up on a blind date by my cousin and her friend. I don't know if I should be happy or apprehensive. I mean, sure, there are guys that I know that I like, but a blind date seems weird. He's an older man, goes to Jacksonville State University, plays WoW, and loves sushi......and his middle name is Alexander (coincidence? I hope so.)

I also did laundry yesterday.....I never really knew how many clothes I had until now. However, most of it consists of blues and blacks, so yay for 2 loads of the same ole shit. I also bought a hoodie because it was warm and plain black. It's pretty rad.

Well, there's not much to say now that I've said all I have to say for today....so................

PEACE

Bipolar much?

Hey guys and dolls!

As you may have noticed, I've been on blog hiatus for a good bit....I can't even remember the last time I wrote an entry on here. So, I guess I'll start out with what I've been up to.
Well, I've nearly killed myself with school. I don't give a shit anymore about it. I don't see a point in anything they are trying to teach me. It just doesn't matter anymore. Sure, people say it's just senioritis, but nothing going on in that school that I am being forced by my mother to attend matters to me. I mean, when I look at how I want my life to go, I can't see any of what they are teaching me being applied anywhere in my life.
Second, I've been reevaluating my life, friends, stuff like that, and I've come to the conclusion that as much as I love my friends and I want them to be my friends forever (does that happen? because I really want it to), I feel that sometimes I can't let go of the security blanket. I mean, I love my friends too dearly, sometimes, I don't even think they realize it. I would do absolutely anything for them. But, I feel that my selflessness towards them puts me at a disadvantage.
Third, I've also come to the conclusion that no matter how confident I act (yes, people, it is all a ruse), I will always be my self conscious, overanalyzing self. Yes, I will always think someone is lying to me when they say I'm pretty. Why the hell would I believe someone else when I don't believe it when I look at myself in the mirror? Yes, I will always think people are judging me. I'm not selfcentered, I'm just always judging myself.
Fourth, as many times as I have said that I have given up on relationships, every time I say that, it is a LIE. I will continue to try no matter how many people reject me. It's not like the world ends when someone rejects me, that happens every day. But, I've learned to accept it.
ENOUGH WITH THE DEPRESSING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've started a collab channel on YouTube with my friends Cydney and Alec. We are the Audio Addicts. We rant about music and all that goodness. We kinda have a competition going: who knows more unknown music (yes, i know that's an oxymoron). So far, according to our last tally, Alec is winning. but then again, we haven't done a tally in 4 or 5 videos......so, who knows. Also, I just had an awesome week. I got a new best friend (Alex) and I got one of my old best friends back (Sam). Pretty damn stoked about that. So yeah.......I can't think of anything else to write. Sorry for the depressing spillage of my insight earlier. Won't happen again (that's a bold faced lie)

PEACE
Danni

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!

Another One Bites the Dust

Ah! Long time no see, guys and dolls!

I'm sure you're just dying to know what I've been up to. Well in all honesty, if you've read any of my previous posts, you know what I've been up to. So, onward with the depressing sappiness....

Well, as pointed out to me yesterday, I am an overly obvious crush AND when I crush on people I become stalkerish. Yay me! :/ And as I've previously written millions of times, yet again, my love life fails me. Yay!!! I've come to the oh too obvious conclusion that I am not romantic relationship material. Which, now that I've figured that out, I'm going to stop trying. It's the only logical action to be taken in these events. I mean, if for the 18 years I have been alive I can't get a guy to like me, what's the point, right? I completely understand that I am not the most attractive person in the world. I understand that I am completely socially inept (I have a vlog, blog, and am in a ONLINE knitting community). It just makes sense that I am unfit for this moronic social ritual our society has come to know as DATING (or courting/courtship, if you want to get old school). But, in lighter news, I just got another pair of sunglasses. They are black and lime green. Go me!!! Valentine's Day is shit.

PEACE,

Danni

The Worst Holiday Ever Invented Is Almost Here!

Yes, I am talking about Valentine's Day. I have hated Valentine's Day since the 5th grade. Why the 5th grade? In the 5th grade, Buddy Bruhn took the Valentine I gave him, showed it to his friends and laughed in my face. And every year since, I haven't had a "Valentine." Sure, in grade school your mum makes you give Valentines to your schoolmates. But, there's always that special Valentine you give to your crush or your boyfriend. Screw that shit! Valentine's Day is stupid. And yes, you can say that I'm just being bitchy about it because I am single.

Speaking of me being single, let's think back to the times I wasn't single. Well, that time doesn't exist. Sure, I've gone on a few dates (a few being 3). But, I have always been single. Why? I don't know why!!!! I wish I knew why!

Let's see.....let's rate the successfulness of the "dates" I've been on....

Date #1:

Guy: Shane
When: Freshman year of high school
Where: A musical at my school
Hand holding: yes
Hugs: yes
Kiss: yes
Good conversation: yes
2nd Date: No

Date #2:

Guy: Adam
When: Senior year of high school
Where: Chinese, Target, his house
Hand holding: no
Hugs: No
Kiss: No
2nd Date: Yes

Date #3:
Guy: Adam
When: Senior year of high school
Where: his house
Hand holding: sort of?
Hugs: 1
Kiss: No
3rd Date: No


Were those dates successful? Date #2 was obviously more successful than Dates #1 and #3. HOWEVER, I still ended up fucking miserable. The guy from Date #1 was only trying to get to my best friend. I don't know about the guy from Dates #2 and #3. We don't even talk anymore so I'm going to say he's just a jerk? And the sad thing is, I don't even know what went wrong.

Okay, I'm going to stop being bitter because it's just making my day worse than it already is. I'm going to go watch a movie and keep being the hopeless romantic that everyone seems to hate.

PEACE
Danni

I'm going to Pigfarts! It's on Mars!

Hola muchachos!!!!

School started back last week on tuesday. Then we were out of school on thursday because of "snow." IT DIDN'T SNOW! It flurried. They were big ass flurries, but nothing stuck to the ground. It was quite upsetting. But, not as upsetting as my mother telling me I can't go to PULSE dance convention this weekend......I almost cried. But, at least I have a solo in this year's dance recital. BOO YAH, bitches! Anywho......I just started a collab channel with my best friend Cydney. THEAUDIOADDICTS!!!! Yeah, we're gonna be talking about music and stuff....mostly music. The stuff's gonna be left on our own channels....like the video of me blowing up a balloon and letting all the air out....Yes, I am aware that I have issues. I think I want to learn Romanian again. It was fun. Even though I can't remember any of it.

Okay. So, I really need to get to studying and doing my homework because I really want to go to LA in July to go to VidCon. So, I need to kick some ass this semester. I REALLY WANT TO GO!!!!!! Okay, going to study now.

PEACE
Jordan

Oh yeah, since Tuesday is my day to put up videos, I will also be posting the songs that I talk about on here! Look Out!!!

Happy New Year Guys and Dolls!

Well, it's the beginning of a new year which means that I am going to start doing what I said I was going to do. If you look at my header, it says "Knitting + Stories + Boys + Music + Random Shit." Well, so far, I've only posted Boys + Music + Random Shit.......where's the Knitting and the Stories?

Here's what's going to go down. Every time I make up a new pattern or knit something I am really proud of, I will post it here. Starting..........NOW!

I just finished a pair of armwarmers based on a pattern I made during Thanksgiving called Seafoam. However, the stripe pattern is different on this pair. On the first pair, I went for a blue stripe pattern. Well, this new pair is a gift for Sera and they are Hufflepuff armwarmers, in black and yellow.

Here's Seafoam in the original stripe pattern:
