a long deserved letter

Hey there everyone..

its been a while since i have talked to anyone!

 how is everyone doing?

Cameron.. how was your trip?

How was everyones trip to Taize?

yicks... its been a while...

Me? Im doing good. School is crazy. Im now the President of a student chapter called American Society of Interior Designers. This is a big deal for me because its a great way to get to know professionals and in the long run get a great job. Its hard because its a lot of work and that is being added onto taking 6 class every quarter (roughly 19 credits?) Sometimes it crazy...but for the most part im doing good. Im finishing up my summer quarter, so now i only have a year left of school! wowzer. Next quarter i start looking for a internship. I have decided that im going to go for a degree in Restoration as well as my masters in Interior Design. Soo all together i have about another 3 or 4 years of school. Depending on if i find a school that goes all year round, i might even be done in 2 or 3 years. I guess we'll see...

Life in pittsburgh is going good too. Im working in the doubletree hotel, so therefore.. that means you can come see me now and i can get you a cheap room! lol  My friends are great. Im still living with the same roommates(3), and we are still in the same apartment. My one roommate is getting married in March sooo im having a great time helping her plan everything! Im so happy for her! My boyfriend and I had a rocky summer, but with a lof of communication we figured things out and are just taking a day at a time.

My family is doing good. my brother is starting his jr year of highschool, and mom and andy are living with my grandparents. This is a good thing for them because then they can help each other out more. Yes.. they drive each other crazy once in a while, but overall its good for them. My grandma had a quad bi pass heart surgery this last spring. So that was quite a scare. You will be happy to know that she is doing much better and to say the least loves life more.

I recently turned 21 and my birthday consisted of going out to a family friend owned bar with my mom and a bunch of family friends. Here is a picture. Me, my mom and a about 10 other 60 year old women. HAHA it was a blast!!! Other than that i really haven't made it out to the bar scene.. im too busy with school, work, ASID, and life in general.

You'll be happy to know that things with my dad are going great. I actually spent some more time in oklahoma over the summer. It has been a really great year in a half getting to know him. It has not only pulled us closer together, but it has really helped me with a lot. For so long i was living with a empty spot and anger, but now that we have worked things out, my life seems that much brighter. I thank god for him every day.

Oh before i forget! COURTNEY AND KARI!!! PASKYDIVE.com  hehe you better come!!!

well i suppose i'll stop talking for now.. this whole blog was to let everyone know that my email has changed lol. It is now going to be Danielle_Shaffer@hotmail.com

my address and phone are still the same so dont be afraid to call!! I miss everyone so much and i hope that life has been well. Let me know what you have been up to!!!

much love,
Danielle

The Everglow
By Mae

an endless path
Current mood: tired

there is a open window within my sight.

                          As im running i start to notice just how far away it is.

 I start to lose my breath, but push myself to ignore how fast my heart is beating.

How much longer will it take? I can see it! is it days, weeks, miles, or steps? how many more running shoes must i scronge up for to embrace the entrance to slight happiness?

                 My feet are gaining blistters and my heart is gaining pounds.

As i find myself starting to jog i yell and cry and spit in my face.

"MOVE!" i say!

               "DONT STOP"

                             "KEEP PUSHING!"

                                                                                   I DISGUST myself!

 I refuse to trace the footseps that are from those running before me. I refuse to follow someone elses path. I WILL MAKE MY OWN! 

My footsteps wont stop flying until i can place my salty fingertips on the window pane of my desires.

 I can, I will, and I am!

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless boy you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let’s do some living after we die
wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them some day

in between... classes...

Nov. 2nd about 4:30

When i come undone, you bring me back again. back into your arms. no one will have me like you do, now one will have me, only you. im listening, but theres no sound, lead me out on the moonlit floor back under the stars strike up the band and make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling. lift your open hand and take mine, Cause im in love with you take me somewhere new. I want to know what this means. Im here and now im ready, holding on tight. I just need to know that i can breathe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
isn't anyone trying to find me? im trying to figure out this life. Cause nothings going right, and everythings a mess. why is everything so confusing? I dont want to fall to pieces. I dont want to talk about it, I just want to cry in front of you maybe IM just out of my mind. I pray that we make it through..
