Here goes a new year
and because I think lists are spifftacular, I am going to make a new to-do list for the year 2010. Which, by the way, feels freakish for me to type since it is also my last year (technically half a year unless I visit) at Vassar. Let’s make it a good one. The rules are…if more shit comes up, it shall be added to the bottom. If I finish something…I get to cross it off and do...

went to the Canterbury Ales to eat dinner. The food was so good! I’d love to go there again and hang out. The inside is splendid. It reminds me of England.
Next time I go there to eat, I am going to make sure to go early enough to visit the Book Revue as well.
I think I’m in love.
I’m adding both of these things to my mental to-do list for this break. So...

The disappointment comes from within and holds on strong, exhausting my breath, emptying me in one deep exhale.
For another year
my parents made me go to midnight mass.
During mass, the priest started talking about the harvest and how we all come together to praise our Lord for the harvest and blah blah blah.
It made me think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That guy is totally talking about raising the Master.
I also made butter today the old fasion way…with a cup and some heavy cream.
Merry Christmas!
Haha. Check it out! →
At work, my boss got this link from the Nassau Library System and she swore it was real and wanted to order some for the library.
I love my boss.

Whoops
I had do go get a new social security card today because my mother, in all her infinite wisdom, set my old one on fire. Long story. Anyway…so while you sit there, they give you a number and everyone stares at this board with numbers on it waiting for their number to be called. I got really bored after a while, and started reading.
When my number was finally called, I got a little too...

I have decided
to just suck it up and buy myself a dress. You know…because I haven’t done that in a while.
So the very important question to you all is:
What color shall the dress be?
I was thinking red (because I don’t own a red dress). My father very loudly voted for black…but he’s a father, so he hardly gets a say. He’d be perfectly content for me to wrap myself in a...

Dear Moon,
I haven’t given up on you yet. I gaze at your with such intensity I am afraid I might cause you to fall out of the sky. Snow buzzes like bleached fireflies in the night, and still I beg and plead for there to be someone else gazing up at the moon too. Someone begging and pleading for me—someone admiring the snow and wondering who I am, what I look like and whether or not...

Tonight is one
of those romance novel nights. A little sorrow, a little hormones, a little romance. The one I am reading has zombies and robots in it. I am enjoying it very much. Good choice Danielle. *Pats self on back.*
Now I am going to do something I have never done before: bubble bath.
Wish me luck.
However, before I go I must include one of my letters.
Dear old lady at work,
Being mean to...
Well...
I just got cheated out of twenty dollars. *Takes a deep breath*
I am attempting to remain very, very calm. Feelings of dumbassery are taking over.

Dream again!
You all must realize by now that I like sharing my dreams. Most of the time I just tell my housemates and then move on to make breakfast…but sometimes I feel the need to share my brain with the world.
Last night I had a dream that I was teaching first graders—not just subbing, but I had my very own class! Right in the middle of a well planned lesson, some douchebag comes in and...
It makes me sad
that all my facebook ads either ask me if I am pregnant or beg me to want to meet hot single men in my area.
For shiz, Facebook…no one is going to be your friend if you keep insulting people.
I am currently reading
Fahrenheit 451 and I find myself troubled—possibly more than I was when I read 1984. At least in that world there were some books, some memory of what paper looked and smelled like.
My life is devoted to literature. I work in libraries so I can see, smell, touch books every day. My room is stuffed with the words of other people. I even study it at school. What terrifies me about this...
After a cold
morning walk to work first in the snow, then in the rain, I decided to finally watch Lost in Austen.
I am pleased.
I will now stand in front of the basement door of my TH with my copy of Pride and Pejudice wishing very very hard for a naked Fitzwilliam to waltz through and propose marriage.
On the final front, however…the portfolio is still looking rather pathetic. To make myself feel...

I’ve been watching season two of Doctor Who all weekend with the lovely ladies in my house. I love my housemates. Have I mentioned that?
Rumor has it next weekend we’re hitting up some embarrassingly awesome show while eating cookies and tea. I am very excited. There might even be a pajama party and poetry.
I sometimes feel the need to write down reminders of days and nights when...

It is time for some letters.
Dear student with the brown coat and beard,
When I glanced up at you while we passed each other on the sidewalk, it was actually a challenge. I was sure you weren’t going to look at me. However, when you not only met my eyes, but also smiled at me, it completely made my day. Thank you for smiling. I hope your entire week is full of wonderful, brilliant things.
Love,
The chick in the...

If people spoke more of the truth more often, there’d be a lot more love in the world.
I think it is hard to tell the truth in this world. People are not always sincere in return.

Welcome to the dark side. What’s something you wish more people knew about you?
Thank you for the welcome. I expect my cookies mailed to my box, thank you. I wish more people knew that I don’t like cooked fruit. Fresh fruit is divine, but for some reason…cooking fruit is a sin. It’s in the Bible if you don’t believe me. ...
