Look, I doubled the list. That's good. When we were coming up with this list I could hear Danny in the background trying to help by suggesting things like crabs, roast beef, and french fries. It was cute. He's one of the few kids I don't want to strangle. Moving on, Tracy also suggested that I get a fish. I'm really not supposed to have any pets in my apartment. It's against the rules. However, I don't think a fish is really that much of a problem. They don't make noise and they hardly take up any room. Just in case they would be mad I didn't want to let them know I have one so I had to sneak it inside. It would've been funny to watch if you knew what was going on. I got the fish and all of the fish stuff in just fine though. I have it all set up now and I just hope the fish doesn't die. I named him Oliver. It was between Oliver and Tracy the fish. I figured Oliver was better because I don't know how much Tracy wants me to name a fish after her. It would be funny though. Here's a picture of Oliver.
So, those were the highlights of my day. I wish school would just start already. I'm pretty bored. There is this kid that I used to go to school with that really wants to hang out with me. And by hang out, I mean make out. It's so annoying. I don't even really know this kid nor do I want to make out with him. He graduated a few years ahead of me and one day he just randomly messaged me like "Hey. You're cute. Let's hang out." Ok, that's just weird. And another thing. He's Asian. I don't have a problem with Asian people, but do I have a big sign on my head that says "I date Asian guys"? Because out of all of the guys who try to initiate things with me, the majority of them are Asian. I just think that's kind of odd. Anyway, I'm super tired so I'm going to bed. I think I'm going to order my books tomorrow. Fun fun.

Edit:
I forgot to talk about how I saw Tracy tonight and it was just about the biggest highlight of my summer. Really, she's my favorite person. We met at Barnes and Noble and had coffee. Well, she had coffee. I just held my coffee. I had just purged an hour prior to going so I really didn't even feel like drinking coffee. My throat hurt. I'm sure the cigarette on the ride there didn't help much either. Anyway, her kid was there. That was fine. I don't mind him, but I really don't know what to say to him. What do you say to a four year old? I have trouble talking to people my age, let alone someone who hasn't even reached grade school. He's a smart kid though. I just don't know what to talk about with him. Tracy looked like she had lost weight. Her face looked thinner then I remembered. I didn't comment on it though. I didn't think it was appropriate. The first thing she told me was that I look good. Just a note to anyone who happens to know someone with an eating disorder, never EVER say that. In the mind of someone with an eating disorder, "you look good" translates to "you've gained weight" which further translates to "you're fat". I don't think she meant it to sound like that. In fact, I KNOW she didn't mean for it to sound like that...but when I heard "you look good" I immediately thought "Damn, I need to lose some weight because even Tracy thinks I'm fat." I tried to ignore that thought though. I was semi successful. Anyway, we talked about summer and me going to college. Oh, and we also talked about the fact that she met someone, which I am super happy for her about. I don't really remember too much about what she said about him except that he is tall and thin...and that Mr. Felangi (this guy me and Bran used to joke was her boyfriend) is a "hardcore Bible-thumping Christian". That was pretty hilarious. We talked some more about random stuff and then we left. I gave her the present I bought for her in North Carolina. It was a Vera Bradley purse with a change thing and a hair clip....because she has this one she wears all the time that looks like it's like 100 years old. She left me a voicemail when I was driving that she liked it and some other nice good luck stuff. It was a nice voicemail and I'm kind of glad that I missed her call because I like to save voicemails like that to listen to when I'm really upset. It's lame, but they make me feel a little bit better. Anyway, I really have to finish packing now. I have a ridiculous amount of clothes. My goodness. It's disgusting.
Introduction
Moving on...my name is Danyele, but I really hate that ugly "y" in it. I sometimes go by Danielle online just because I think it looks nicer. It's not really my name though. I'm eighteen years old and a college freshman at a big state school in New Jersey. I'm from New Jersey, a little whitebread town about a half hour outside of Philadelphia. My family is your typical upper-middle class family that feigns perfection but is actually complete with an emotionally unstable mother, an alcoholic workaholic father, two fucked up kids, and a couple of dogs. I'm "the smart one" in the family. I also have an eating disorder. I've been struggling with it for about eight years. I suppose that will be the main focus of my blogs, my eating disorder and eating disorders in general. I used to have a xanga. Well, I still have a xanga, but xanga is flooded with ridiculous pro-ana weblogs written by wannarexic pre-teen girls (as is livejournal) and I don't want to associate what that sort of thing. I'm hoping I won't find the same here. I've actually been inspired to move away from xanga by the author of the mamaVISION blog. She's pretty awesome so if you want to check out her site there is a link on the right module. Anyway, let me write a little bit more about myself. I'm a pre-med major. Well, technically I'm a Biology major and a Psychology minor, but I'm in the pre-med program at my school. I want to be a doctor. I'm not sure what kind of doctor yet, maybe psychiatry or pathology...or surgery. I guess it's kind of ironic that I want to be a doctor. Ha. I also really like politics. I'm a libertarian at heart, but I associate with the Republican party. I support Rudy Giuliani for the presidential elections. He's the man. In addition, I love music. I mostly listen to indie rock and folk. I like classical and choral too. I've been in choirs all of my life and I've traveled all over the globe to perform. I guess I'm pretty lucky. How many people can say they sang in Carnegie Hall when they were fifteen or performed for the Pope when they were sixteen? I've experienced a lot more in my life thus far then many people do in an entire lifetime. It's kind of weird. It's hard to explain. Anyway, I'm going out with one of my best friends tonight. It's our last time to hang out before we both go to college. Fun.
Peace.
