The Swordfish.

All the good ones are either taken or gay. That's the saying right? Any guy who is worth dating already has a girlfriend or likes the opposite gender to what you are.
Well that's been true on some occasions. But for me, I find that nearly every guy I seem to crush on always turns out to be a total player. Or a "Swordfish" as Tara calls it. Someone who is just looking for a one night stand or a fun hook up. No commitments. No strings attached.
And the thing is - I constantly continue to fall for them. And they always end up walking all over me and leaving me broken and empty. So why do I let them get to me? And why do I keep chasing after them? That's always been a mystery. I guess it's just "my type". Like if a very attractive, reasonably nice guy came up to me and asked me out I'd probably turn him down with an excuse such as "Sorry, I only go for complete douche bags."
But then I think the reason I keep going after them is because I like the thrill of the chase. Or the race in some cases. But the thing about races is that in the end you are either a winner, a loser, or you're that one who was so close to the end but then crashed into the tyre stacks and died.

So what's been going on in the world of Dannie? How's that repetitive day in day out cycle we like to call life?
Well my dear readers, life has been mellow for the past few weeks, with some awesome highs and no lows - more flat lines.
At the moment my world has consisted of drama drama drama. Mostly in the literal sense - with rehearsals for both Gang Show and the Drama Festival reaching stress level. Know your lines; speak clearly; face the front; don't fidget; be the character; use actions; project; diction; diction; DICTION! The words just spin in constant spirals in my brain thanks to the many screams from the prod team and my drama teacher from day one. But maybe I'm lucky I'm not Smallwood - who is still being yelled at and let me tell you - it's not exactly helpful hints ("Smallwood I'm going to KILL you!!"). And I must mention that I am at least a little disappointed that the supposed stage kiss I was going to get turned out to be a "leap into his arms" - which I find annoying since I happen to be quite weight self conscious.

"Sorry, I only go for complete douche bags."

Then of course there was our road trip to Albury to see their  Gang Show. It was good to hang out with WOO Crew + Sarah for a weekend and I suppose I had fun but those seven hour car trips were soooo long...but at least we were invited to their afters. Without that invite I might never have met the lovely Mr Spinelli :P

And now my birthday's coming up. Nearly a month away and it's party year - yet the grog is for "18+ only" says mother dearest. But that's alright - as long as I get a theme I'll be happy. Yet Tubsy is making that hard because we're sharing the party and she wants a cop out theme like "a splash of pink and purple" whereas I had my heart set on "stereotypical high school cliques". I think we have now settled on "Good vs Evil" but that will probably change within the next week. If you have any awesome all out themes then do let me know!

I am also excited about work expierience in August. I'm going to Tucky's mum's vet for the first week, and then Taronga Zoo the next week working in the reptiles section. I'm just happy I get to work with the turtles :)

Ahh well now I'm just rambling. So I should probably sign out before I embarrass myself more than I do when an incredibly-hot-player-guy walks past Boost Juice.

Ta Ta For Now.
