change is good

Yet again, I’ve changed my AIM screenname. Now, it’s “p A r A actUar” (“to act” in Espa?ol!).

I feel slightly n00bish changing it again, but oh well. Add me to your buddy lists and IM me lots. :D

where to go now…

Today as I sat in my living room, hot and sweaty with a horrible headache that even Excedrin couldn’t kill and watching “A Cinderella Story” on HBO (Hey, what can I say? I was really bored), I realized that the very fabric of most of my relationships is starting to tear. Some in big ways, some in small, but it was all directly affecting me.

  • Today I dug up some family history I really thought was wierd
  • Whenever Chelsea calls, I never want to talk anymore. She even sort of bugs me now. It’s so annoying, how we went from best friends and now she bugs me when she calls
  • Cierra, Cierra, Cierra….she confided in me. She told me about some problems she’s been having. I know that she ran to me for help, and I feel that I’ve failed her. It feels really bad. I told her to call a hotline, and it seems like she lost all faith in me when I gave her the number and repeatedly asked her to call for help…..It’s a hard lesson to learn, that I don’t have all of the answers, even for me
  • All this penpal stuff is also going to my head. Since I registered on June 10 (wanting one person to correspond with), I’ve gotten over 16 replies. I feel as though I”m letting these people down when I delete their emails without even reading them….sorry guys and girls

It just can be so hard on my head sometimes. It feels like I’m a snake whose just shed. I shed out most of my old friends. I can’t bring myself to accept the fact that the worst school year of my life is over and now I’m losing some people. I’m getting closer to Cara, Tommy, Briana, Ross, Caroline (Tyler’s friend), Caroline (from school), and Kathleen. Even though some people always IM me and piss the shit out of me, I still answer because I know they care.

I think something big is coming…

go danny

once upon a summer’s day…

Godspell has definately turned out to be soooo much funner than I thought.

At first, I thought it was okay. The people seemed nice and I liked my part. Time moved really slow, though, and I was waiting anxiously for it to be over.

That was Day 1.

Then, on Day 2, I was totally bored. I looked at the clock every 30 seconds waiting for it to be over. I didn’t “not like” it, but it was kinda boring.

But today and yesterday have been TOTALLY AWESOME! I realized that the cast is great. We all mesh and get along very well. We’re all also very, very fun people who love to act and sing (well most of us anyway).

Our show is coming along tremendously. It’s….Day 4 and we have the whole show blocked except for a few of the dances! You seriously can’t say that that’s not amazing. We’re doing tremendously; every day we’re growing as actors and making the show soooo much better.

But we’re also growing as friends.

We always play games and dance during break and have games and contests and stuff. Yesterday, it was the “Briana’s Pee-pee Iced Tea Chugging Contest.” I won! It was tremendously fun. We also mouth eachothers lines behind our backs and make everybody else on stage crack up. Today, we went outside and playing the “Spin” game and “roll down the hill until Danny’s about to throw up.” Those games are so childish, but when you’re with a great group of people, they’re really fun.

I know I started with mixed feelings about this camp, but I now know that I will leave and be very sad that I have to part with my new friends.

server overload

One thing that has really started to bug me about the whole internet revolution and new web technologies movement is how people over-use new web technology, especially n00bs with Xangas.

People use so much crap on their Xangas. Their sites are jam-packed with images and scripts. Some common scripts include Chatterboxes, music players, Javascript alerts (those little windows that pop up when you visit the Xanga that say things like “i hope u love my xanga!!!!!!!1onetwo1!!11!!!!!! <33333333333333333333″), and looooooong surveys packed with multimedia, or just very, very longs posts that take eons to load.

What soooo many n00bs don’t get is that this slows down loading time. It pisses people off because their browsers will crash because it’s just too much to load. Plus it takes up bandwidth from the visitor’s computer, and that can cost them serious $$$. I’ve even turned off Javascript so that I could view Xanga’s without having to Force Quit Firefox.

Another thing about some of these scripts is that they’re useless. Why do you need a Chatterbox when you can communicate via comments? Why do you need annoying Javascript Alerts telling somebody to enjoy your Xanga and then to come back soon? If they hated it then your annoying little alerts are just making them hate it more.

And what’s up with all these little wierd images that you need to download a player to view? Why can’t we stick with .jpg, .gif, and .jpeg’s? What’s the need for annoying, time-consuming images that just make your site look cooler? So you can say “omigawd i got this cool little flashy bar on my xanga!!!!1111!”? Don’t you visit a website for its content, not its design? Sometimes a bad/time-consuming-to-load design with actually bring in less traffic!

So please, take this as a plea from every web design-savvy person in the world, USE JAVASCRIPT FOR GOOD, NOT EVIL!

finally!

I know I’m a little late on this, but:

IT WAS SO FRICKING FUNNY WHEN TOM CRUISE GOT SQUIRTED WITH A FRICKING MICROPHONE/WATER GUN.

He totally overreacted, though. It was a fun, lighthearted joke.

As the BBC tells it:

Cruise stunt show may be dropped

The TV comedy show which squirted Tom Cruise with water at the War of the Worlds premiere in London may not be screened, Channel 4 has said.

Four TV workers were arrested after the 42-year-old actor’s face and jacket were drenched with water from a fake microphone on Sunday.

Channel 4 has apologised to Cruise for the stunt, filmed for a comedy show.

All four men have been released on police bail and are due to return to a London police station on 4 July.

Channel 4 confirmed that a crew from the same show had squirted Sharon Osbourne with water at a cinema screening last month.

Rock manager and X Factor judge Osbourne responded by getting a bucket of water and going after her assailant.

A Channel 4 spokesman said the tape of Cruise being squirted was with the police, adding: “No decision has been made whether it will air.”

He said the stunt was for an unnamed forthcoming show which partly involves “playing light-hearted comedy pranks on celebrities and members of the public”.

“The stunt was intended to be light-hearted rather than malicious and we would apologise to Mr Cruise for any offence that was caused.”

The four-man freelance TV crew were arrested on suspicion of assault.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “We will see whether to pursue the charges, see whether the victim wants to pursue it.”

Cruise – who attended the premiere with his new fiancee Katie Holmes – was talking to journalists in Leicester Square when he was squirted with water.

The star struggled to maintain his composure, repeatedly asking one of the Channel 4 team: “Why would you do that?”

He said: “What’s so funny about that? It’s ridiculous. Do you like making less of people?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Cruise and Holmes announced their engagement last week
“Don’t run away. That’s incredibly rude.

“I’m here giving you an interview, answering your questions and you do something nasty. You’re a jerk.”

The actor held the interviewer back and repeatedly called him “a jerk”.

Security guards arrived and Cruise towelled himself down before signing more autographs.

The man was then taken inside the cinema by security guards.

It’s not like he was gonna melt…

brand new theme…again

I decided that the other sunset theme I was using wasn’t going to cut it, so instead I created a totally new one.

This one is based on The Danny Corner, an old project I had once started, but long since abandoned.

The theme is called “Calm Waters” due to the water-y gradient that’s used for headers. I really enjoy this them and I hope that you all do, also!

Today I’m going to ride the Ducks in Baltimore!!!! I’m so excited.

I’ll post pix when I get back.
