October 14

I know it's been about a century since I last posted. Id like to apologize. I got lazy. I know that's not a good excuse, but it's the one I'm giving you. So. You have got a lot to catch up on.

First and foremost, I'd like to announce that Dannii's birthday video by Nicola Hayes has been posted on YouTube as of yesterday, the 13th! You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM-k7rIOQTM&feature=plcp :) Note: Last I checked, it's cant be played on mobile, so...get on your computer right now and watch it! It's amazing! Nicola put tons of work into this video and it sure paid off. I suggest you also go right now and follow her on Twitter: @nicolakirstie_ My friends Katie, Sachi, Caroline, and I all contributed and are honored to have taken part in this celebration of Dannii minogue's birthday. The four of us are also having a party on Saturday for her, which we are all very excited about :D

Next, I must announce that we had a chastity lesson at Sunday school today. I'll say no more than the fact that I totally and wholeheartedly disagreed with every part of it. I don't mean you any offense if you are a devout Christian, but I just don't understand it. You're either married to a man, single, or a nun. Some bullshit, that is.

I must, of course, mention the two totally awesome things I've just received in the mail! The first one, from my pen pal Lucy in England, contained more Doctor Who stuff than you can imagine, along with some quality British stuff (namely Cadbury's because she's heard American chocolate sucks. Also Blackpool rock?). I am really grateful to have an awesome friend like her, and now must send her something equally awesome in return. Any ideas? What do we have in America that isn't in the UK? And please don't say bad attitudes or excess fat. Not funny. The second thing I received in the mail was from Emma in South Australia. Dannii Minogue CD's! They came yesterday, coinciding with the premiere of the video. How perfect is that? Now I have mucho Dannii music on my iPod, most of which I still haven't heard, but am really happy to have. Everyone, while you've still got Twitter up, follow @emmafromoz because she is so awesome.

Now, what haven't I been doing this week? Sadly, writing my book. I've picked up my journal once or twice, but I'm simply not as excited about it as I used to be. I'm



Do anything you can to 
get me back in the mood! My Internet free week, which starts Sunday, October 21, should do a great deal of help. I'm not going to lay around moping on the couch, having forgotten what the purpose of the week was: to write! No, I am going to write, I'm going to get the fuck out of Chapter 24, you're going to figure out the

Sorry that paragraph kind of fell apart. The point is, I haven't been writing. My iPod got kinda funky there, so I had to erase part of that section, and the end of it is going to be randomly at the bottom. So. Now onto the best part of this post: Cheryl Fucking Cole. On Saturday (I think), I tweeted Daniel something along the lines of "I'm giving Girls Aloud a chance. What songs should I listen to?" He was probably shocked. I was surprised at myself, too. I hated anything to do with Cheryl Cole. I'm kind of...what's the word...paranoid? from Dannii's X Factor era, when, in my opinion, Cheryl was totally bitchy and shit. But I was being really biased in saying that because, as you all know, I adore Dannii, so it came naturally to hate Cheryl. I mean, didn't Dannii leave — oh, I'm not even going to get into that. Point is, and I try to get straight to the point as often as possible, I now hate to love Cheryl. Girls Aloud is amazing. I love the songs The Show, Wake Me Up, Untouchable, and all the other ones Daniel suggested for me. I also love Cheryl's songs Under The Sun, The Flood, and A Million Lights. It's just not fair how much I love her music. Thanks a lot, Daniel. No, but really, thanks. If you weren't so in love with Cheryl, I would've had no desire whatsoever to listen to her music. For being the only person to be able to sway me from hating someone to liking them a whole lot, follow @iamdanieljlacey :) And go listen to some Girls Aloud while you're at it. Daniel, Cheryl is more than just hot now.

I will leave you with song lyrics. I know there's probably a million things I forgot to mention, like how I almost dies this morning when our Internet didn't work because I couldn't listen to Cheryl Cole, or how I got another under 9 minute mile time on Friday. But it's past my bedtime and I need to listen to a few songs before I go to sleep. "I don't know how we fell through. Got a little too much in my head, like I miss you. A million lights behind you. I'm a little too much in the dark 

here without you."

Random paragraph ending below... :/

missing piece of the puzzle, and that is that. Drama is coming, people. Don't you worry.
