OMG! Today was amazing! We met soooooo many famous tennis stars! I'll start at the beginning. First we arrived in Cincinnati at 9 am. We got there an hour before the first match so that we could look around and stuff. Lana and dad ate and I ate a banana as we watched some guys warm up. One of them was sooo hot. It ended up that those two guys would be playing in the match we watched. We cheered for Gilles Simon (a really hott guy from France) who ended up winning. I was happy for him since he is like 11 seeded and really young. He looked about 19. Later while outside Centercourt I went up to him and asked for his autograph. He seemed really shocked and said (in French) that he did not speak English, lol. I'm so mad I didn't get a picture cause he was hott! haha. Next we just waited around so we could get player autographs. I didn't think that all the top guys would be there but to my surprise everyone but Nadal and Agassi were there. I got tons of autographs on my program. Some of the people I don't know but here are the ones I got:
Andy Roddick (omg, he is sooo hott in person), Jonas Bjorkman, Juan Ignacio Chela, Tim Henman (amazing!), Alberto Martin, Ricardo Mello, Tommy Haas, and Sebastien Grosjean. Here are some people who I saw but didn't get autogaphs: I stood about 2 feet away from ROGER FEDERER and we watched him practice but he wasn't giving autogrphs. Lleyton Hewitt was there but I don't think I saw him, Justin Gimelstob was there, and I saw Thomas Johansson. It was like the best tennis related day ever and I cannot believe the people I saw. I'll have pictures up soon. I only have them of Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and Haas mainly. My camera wasn't working during the first match or I would have a picture of Simon, who is now on of my favorite players but I can't believe he couldn't understand me, haha. Well, I'll talk to everyone later!

the 2 hour day was fun. Tomorrow we go to the Masters! Tennis that is. OMG! I hope I see Roger Federer or Andy Roddick or Nadal. I would just die! hehe........

Lana, I swear I will never talk to them again. At least not the little one. I cannot take this and I'm tired of his little dirty mouth. I am so fuming right now and if Alex doesn't say somehting back then I won't ever talk to him either. I've absolutely lost it!

Hey friends. Well. Nothing much is going on. Just thought I'd drop by and say hey. So hey!
-Dana :)

p.s. I forgot, I'm not joining Republican club again. Reason 1, Jared is the new leader and I just think he is ignorant and his ideals are so ugh. Reason 2, I never really was Republican. I was just in it cause Lana was in it and she was my ride home. I'm actually a Right-Winged Independent. And I'm really hoping that I can get a teacher to form an Independent club. It would be fun, lol. You all should so join. ;)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

OMG, I love this poem. It is so lovely and deep. Anyway, Texas is hot as usual. But I love it still. Dallas and Allen are like the best ever. There are so many upscale stores here and I love it so much. Tomorrow we are going to this awesome little village, it looks really French and there's a Dior and everything. I love looking at all the clothes even though I could never afford like anything, haha. Well, I'm gonna go guys. Hope your all having fun where ever you are!
-Dana :)

yo friends, I'm in Dallas, TX right now at my uncle Bill's house. I don't get back until the 8th though but I wish I was there to see everyone. I love Texas! I like the weather best because it's hot but it's not humid. So you don't feel sticky the whole time, lol. Well Bye friends and I'll talk to you all later!
-Dana :)

I have to wake up at 9 am tomorrow :( So that means I'll get about 6 hours asleep since I took a nap today and won't fall asleep until about 3 am, haha. Anyway, here are the classes I'm taking next year. Will anyone possibly have any classes with me? By the way, I hope that most of the people from our last year english will be together!

I'm taking:
Drama I
Advanced Honors English II
Advanced Honors Chem.
Advanced Honors Algebre II
Latin II Honors
AP US History

I'm excited (because I'm a dork, lol) and that means that I will be able to see everyone again! I'm really really excited about Model UN which will be a total party next year, haha. Not that it wasn't this year. Huh Lauren? lol. Well, guys, I need to go read some more Harry Potter. Onlt about 150 pages left! YAY!
~Dana :)

I have been busy in and out of the hospital all week. I hate the hospital!

This week has been great. Even if it was really short. I didn't get to see everyone though and I'm sorry about that but it had to be cut short because my grand is getting surgery. It was nice seeing Lexie, Aimee, Margaret, Brian, Cameron, Sonia, Lauren, and everyone else! 'Mean Girls', against all odd in my mind, is actually a really fantastic and riviting movie! Everyone should see it! Well, have fun friends!

-Dana :)

Food is a really good thing. Hehe. I really like food. I love the taste of it. I love ice cream and chicken. I am addicted to bread! I love loads of kinds of breads. hehe. I like rice too. I love couscous! My diet pretty much consists of carbs and water. Good thing I play tennis or else I wouldn't be able to work off all those carbs, haha. But it's all good, yo! You know something I miss. I miss dunkaroos. The ones that were vanilla. They were soooooo goood. Haha. Well, I'm gonna go now. I'll be seeing loads of ya on Sat. Happy Birthday Lauren!!!!!
-Dana Yo!

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return!

It is sad and sick what this world has come to. Terrorist try and convene terror in their victims. But London, poor London, who just found out that they were chosen to host the 2012 Olympics, has shown strength. They have let these people know that they will go on, yes they will be sad and many lives are now changed, but they will not let these evil people get what they want. Thus far 37 people are reported dead and over 700 wounded. There are now threats on Denmark and Italy as well. Tony Blair is now back with the members of the G8 summit and that is going back to normal.

The best feeling in the world is seeing someone, or thinking of someone, who totally takes your breath away and makes you melt inside.

Roger Federer, the number one seeded male tennis pro in the world, has won Wimbledon for the their time in a row! Venus Williams won yesterday for the Women's Championship.

Go to my xanga to read my rant about the Live 8 concerts that are going on around the world!

We saw War of the Worllds today. It was totally awesome! Way better than the book. The book did help me understand everything, even with the movie having a different plot. I was able to understand why the aliens were their and why they, along with their tripods, died. It was really good and I suggest everyone see it! The "kid" who plays Tom Cruise's son though really isn't 17, to my disappointment. He's actually a 23 year old guy. But either way he is really hot, lol.

*Roger Federer is in the Finals at Wimbledon! Hopefully he can take the win for the third year in a row! OOOhhh I hope sooo! I was so nervous this morning because I missed his match and I had to look on www.wimbledon.org to find out the results of his match. As for the other semi final match, it was delayed for rain. But I bet Roddick wins that. I would be so great for Roddick and Federer to once again be face to face in the Finals. Esp. if Federer can beat Roddick again! Oh how nervous yet excited I am! Well, I should go now. Buh Bye!

It's me and KC!

I have had school on my mind lately. Mostly because I have been doing my stupid summer work. Let's see, I had read two of the 3 books for Adv. Hon. English II. The one I just started today is Silas Marner. I am on page 5 and it sucks so bad I don't want to read on. And I have started my Adv. Hon. Algebra II work. It is so hard. Most of it I have no idea how to do or have never seen it in my life! Lana doesn't even know how to do it, which isn't much of a surprise to me. I can already tell that Algebra is going to be my hardest and worst class next year. Why is it that my math classes are most dramatic for me? I know I am going to have many nights crying over homework, just like last year and the year before. What a surprise! I mean, I make A's in math and I can do it. But I feel that it is really hard and I jsut plain hate it. At this point on I really won't be using any of the math I learn. Why can't we learn math and sciences up to a certain need point and then take classes that will prepare us for what we want to be. I mean a UN field officer in Africa will not need to know the consecutive odd interger sides of a triangle whose perimeter is 27!
Hopefully my other classes shouldn't be too bad. Let's see... I'm taking Drama, Adv. Hon. English II, Adv. Hon. Chemisty, Adv. Hon. Algebra II, AP US History, and Hon. Latin II. Why must I be smart? This is going to suck. Anyone who could possible find school fun and easy is either in classes way under their lever or just plain insane! The summers are no way long enough for my to get everything done. At least I will have soccer, tennis, and Model UN to add on to my stress, but at least providing some fun. lol. I am packed.
Well... if anyone else would like to vent their stress on my site please do so. It feels much better once you see it written before you. Have a nice day :)

I have a sprained ancle and a sprained wrist. :( Is that how you spell ancle? haha. I am one of the worst spellers in the world! haha. Anyway, it sucks and it hurts!

-Dana :(

ANKLE IS SPELLED WITH A "K"!!!! Just thought you all would like to know because Brian King is a genius.

I'm so tired! Today my dad, my friend Tara, and I went to a park to have lunchs where we were chased by rather larger and rabid geece, and then we played tennis. I got my racquet today too! I was $90 marked down from like $200 so I was happy. It's white and black and is a Wilson. It's a rather large 110 sq. in. head but it will be a great racquet to start me off playing well. Later on I will advance to a midsized head. I want to pretty much stick with Wilson, though. It's my favorite. But Prince and I think Head are also very good racquet brands as well.
Well, that's pretty much it. I'm not doing much here in Louisville, KY. But I am having time to do my summer work which is a good reason I'm not running around with friends each day in Murfreesboro. I can't wait to see Anna tomorrow when she comes in from Zach's brother's? wedding. Well.... I'm gonna go! I'll talk to you all soon!

There's a new tennis player to watch out for. 1 minuet after the British no. 1 player Tim Henman shocked the crowds at Wimbledon, 18 year old Andy Murray, underdog British player, started his game against a know tennis star, the 14th seed Radek Stepanek. Against all odds Murray beat out Stephanek 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Could this young tennis star win Wimbledon and bring back the Championship to the English? Only time will tell........
