Diary of Dan Frank

So last Saturday my Aunt was having a bonfire at her house and invited the whole family. So I made my way out there after work. I didn't plan on drinking that much alcohol, but I did anyway.

I remember that one of my cousins friends was talking to me about something and she made mention of the fact that she works at Victoria's Secret. So I told her about the time one of my friends draged me to that store so I could help him try on a corsette. Yes a him, he was getting into the whole drag seen pretty hard core.

This spurted off in the topic of whether or not I have ever been to the Gay 90's. I said that I had been a couple times, and the next thing I knew not only had I pretty much officially come out to the side of the family, but I also made plans with my 18 year old cousin and her friends to go out to the 90's the next night! I so did not want to come out to them and am regretting the whole thing.

We never did end up going, because in the morning I was awoken by a loud thwak noice coming from the room above me. Suddenly I heard my cousin yell, "Mom, Dad, come in here quick". One of her cousins aparently while getting up to use the bathroom, passed out and hit her head on the bedside table, which left a nice cut on her cheek. The girl was out for a few moments and it was decided that the paramedics should be called.

When the paramedics left and her mother arrived at the house my cousins friend was determined that we were all still going out to the 90's that night! Every one thought she was crazy and I told her that she might not feel like going out later because her cheek was going to turn blue and be incredibly swollen...They must have decided I was right because I never did get a call that night.

Well Boys and Girls, I always knew I was most like this Golden Girl, but this here confrims it.

You're Rose!



"My mother always used to say, 'The older you get, the better you get, unless you're a banana.'" You're Rose, the dotty but sweet small-town dimwit who can be a real bitch when your teddy bear is stolen. Back in St. Olaf, you and hubby Charlie once did it till the cows came home -- of course, you were wearing a bell. Life lesson: "If you hold a bird gently, it'll stay. But if you squeeze the bird too tightly, his eyes'll bug out and Mr. Pet Shop Owner gets very angry and won't let you pet them anymore."




Which Golden Girl are you? Find out now!

"Thank you for bieng a friend. Travel down the road and back again, your heart it true your a pal and a confident. And if you through a party and invited everyone you knew. You would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say thank you for being a friend."

I saw these fun things on Joe's blog so I thought perhaps I would share my results with everyonewho reads this...Which is basically just Joe. Hey Joe, whats up???HALLA!!!!

Maybe we will take this next one over again, but hey it is a funny name!!

You're Bikini Atoll!
You once believed that your biggest concern would be a shark attack. Now you know just how much more destructive humans can be than any other creature. While you don't like mushrooms, you've had to eat so many of them that it's become almost a way of life. Exiled from your home and forced to wait for someone to clean it up, you've become bitter but remain powerless. Most people like to gawk at those who share your name.

HMMMM......

You're Sudan!
Every time you get a headache, you reach for some aspirin, only to realize that someone destroyed it.  That's just how things are going for you right now... it's hard to eat, hard to sleep, hard to not have a headache.  You try to relax, but people always jump on you about something that doesn't make sense.  If you were a goat, you'd be a Nubian.

I like this state better!!

You're Hawaii!
When they first meet you, few people can tell whether you want to say hello or goodbye. Either way, most of them will end up saying that you're their favorite person to visit, if only they could afford the trip. But your soft and warm image is belied by an explosive undercurrent in your personality than can leave you drenched with tears or boiling with anger for days on end. You are rather fond of using plants as clothing.

Hey Wanna know what book I am..... Well too bad its too funny not to shar with you!!

You're Anne of Green Gables!
by L.M. Montgomery
Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage cheese, you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You're impulsive, rash, honest, and probably don't have a great relationship with your parents. People hurt your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn't exactly treat others with kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts and minds of everyone that matters. You spell your name with an E and you want everyone to know about it.

hmm this one is a bit more serious than AnnE of Green Gables

You're One Hundred Years of Solitude!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Lonely and struggling, you've been around for a very long time. Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet there is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life all the more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.

This weekend was pretty cool.

On Friday Will and I went over to the Brass Rail, and then the Saloon. We saw Kate and Joey at the Saloon which was fun, but they were pretty much on thier way out as we got there.

On Saturday I worked and had the same section that I ALWAYS have on Saturdays. I guess I am really ok with that, I seem to make pretty good money there, but if I had a different section with one more table, that would give me an extra 50 dollars!!

Sunday I had a PRSSA meeting which was fun, I felt like we got a lot of work done. After that I went over to Bunkers to meet some people from work. They had a live band there and the lead signer either had quite the ample package or he was stuffing the front end of his pants.

Today when I get done at school I am going to go into General Mills until 3:00 and then go home for some homework before I go over to Bonfire for a while to help decorate for x-mas. It seems a little to early for that though, so perhaps I will skip the decorating all together.

So tonight I am going out with my old friend Will. This is interesting concidering I have not talked to him since the last time we were supposed to hang out and he ended up ditching me.

Will goes through phases of when he thinks I am a really cool person to hang out with and when I am the one he is too busy to hang out with. We will have to see how tonight goes. It will probably be great, I'll have lots of fun and Will will continue to call me until we have hung out about two or three times. Then it will go back to the same old story.

Will doesn't call when he said he was going to. I call him and he never calls back, which leaves me thinking that I did something wrong or that there is something wrong with me. I don't need this, why am I going to put myself through this again???

Call me an optimist, but I just would rather believe that people change. I am all about second chances, but this is seriously rediculous because Will always does that to me. How can I rationalize hanging out with him when history has proven that Will is simply not the kind of friend I want him to be?

Do we all have friends like this or is it just me? Does every person out there hang out with someone who makes them feel great for a certain amount of time and then like shit for the next three months? If so, why do we continue to let this person back in everytime they come calling?

I tried registering for my classes on Thursday and got the ASL course I wanted, however I am not entirley sure I need the other two comm courses that I signed up for. I also tried to declare my minor in Mass Comm, but they told me I would have to petition because the minimum requirement is a 2.8 GPA and I have a 2.7 GPA. So I filled out the petition form and still have not heard anything...frustrating.

Joe came into my restaurant on Friday night for some dinner with his friends. I must say I am shocked that he drove all the way out to Eagan instead of simply going to the Grand Ave location. I went to check out his blog today and he did not post a review. Perhaps the experience was just so great that he was left speechless.

On Sunday before I went into work I missed a phone call from a number I did not recognize, so I called it back and left a voice message because the person did not have thier name on thier voice mail. So I left them my number and said if this isn't a wrong number call me back.

Shortly after I got a text message, and I hate getting text messages because Verizon charges me for sending and recieving text messages. Anyway the message was plane and simple.

"Are U Gay"

I sent back, "Who is this?"
"Nate"

I replied, "Oh I don't think I know you"

"Do U0We could get to know each other"

This seemed really creepy to me that some guy was trying to pick me up over a text message so I asked, "How did you get my number?"

he replied, "Are U up for the challenge"

So I repeated my question, "How did you get my number?"

Once again, like a slippery politician he did not answer my question and simply said, "BYE"

Later on in the day while I was working he text me again saying "hi" obviously because I was working I was unable to answer him. So this has me wondering how this bozo got my number? Perhaps he is a friend of the person who I left a message for and they are just playing around with me. If this nate guy is gay though and somehow got a hold of my number he has a pretty warped sense of the correct way to pick up guys.

After work I called his number and got his voicemail. The voice was no one I would recognize, but his nate really was Nate. What a strange day, lets see if he tries to get a hold of me today....wierdo.

Howie Day show last night!!

Made it over to Katie and Tony's apartment in record time. Then we left for the show at about 3:40. We got to the quest at 4:30 and sat in line until 6:20 when the doors opened.

When we got inside we had Tony go directly towards the stage to get us a good spot, he did ok, and Katie and I went over to the bar. We were so cold so we decided a shot might be a good idea. Katie had Malibu and I took a suggestion from the bar tender...Bicardi 151. It tasted as though I was drinking a household cleaner of some kind. I also had myself a beer to chase that down with.

Katie then went to coat check and to the bathroom while I stood in our spot by Tony. When she came back we stood around for what seemed like a half hour and then the show had begun. The sad part about this is that in this time I started to act as though I was drunk...I was drunk. I had only had two drinks.

Katie and I decided it was time for some more so I made my way through the crowd telling them to remember my pretty face because I would be back, i just needed some beer. I am shocked that people actually rememberd me and let me back in!

Then the show started and I was feeling pretty good. Tristan Prettman opened for Howie and she did very well. I really like her voice and style on the guitar. She played a Britney Spears cover, "Toxic" and it sounded was better than the original.

Then on came Howie. I took far to many pictures, many did not turn out because of all the movement and the delay in the digital camera. I wish I had asked how to increase the shutter speed.

Howie ended the show with She Says, the only song of his I can completley play on the guitar, and one of Katies favorites, however it was not to be this particular night. As the song was coming to an end, Howie changed into a U2 song. Katie and Tony do not care for U2 at all, so unfortunatly the concert ended on a sour note for the both of them.

We then made our way over to Green Mill in uptown because Tristan sang a song about pizza which made us all hungry for pizza. I had a beer as well and we finished off with a turtle cheese cake...nummy!!

When we got back the the apartment I felt fine to drive so I made the trip home. I continued to feel fine all the way home, until I woke up this morning. Right now I feel like I am recovering from a hard core night of drinking.

I never did run into Matt last night, although that club was packed so I could have steped on him and not have noticed. This, however does not make me sad. I think if anything I almost feel a sigh of reliefe. I mean if he was going to avoid me because he was interested in me while we were not going out just imagine what it would be like if we were going out.

Here is a little something I was working on while in my last class. In order to fully understand this you must open your MN Daily Newspaper to the crossword area. Underneath the crossword should be an advertisement with a woman reading a book. In class I sat there and wondered, "what book is she reading? What words are written on this page?" This is what I came up with.

"He slowly lowered her silk lace panties until they, like the rest of the clothes, lay in a pile on the floor. She suddenly felt him grasp her with his strong hands. One resting in each side of her ample buttox as he slowly leaned in to take his first taste of ambrosia, the nector of the gods"

So there was a celebrex commercial in the middle of my blog today, which I am not happy about. Joe had the same problem on his blog, but his was to get people to start smoking. At lease his commercials were somewhat useful.

Tonight is the Howie Day concert and I feel like I should be more excited than I am right now. I think part of the reason I was originally looking forward to this concert was because there was the chance that I would run into Matt. (A guy I don't really know, but am interested in meeting) Well now that I have basically given up on the idea of meeting him it's just not as big of a deal as Howie's previous concerts have been.

What is celebrex anyway? Would it get me more excited to see the Howie Day show? And how would celebrex get me excited about the show? Would it just put me in a better mood than I have been recently or would it arouse certain, sexual, feelings in me?

Or is Celebrex an arthritis medication? In that case why would they want to advertise on my blog??? I seriously doubt that the majority of my readership is having an arthritis problem.

Hey does everybody like the new face lift this place got? I figured black was good change because it seems to match my mood a little better.

Why does black match my mood better?

Lets see. G.W. is our President elect for the next four years, this is something his Daddy did not accomplish. This means that little baby Bush is going to get a big head about the kind of job he must be doing... He will be walking around the oval office thinking that he it too hot to touch. This is a problem because when people get cocky they get stupid, and stuff turns to shit.

Take a look at all the times the Twins have been to the playoffs. After a few games they get inflated egos and totally screw up the next game. This country is going to shit really quickly. Lets all hope that GW does something stupid and we can get his sorry ass Impeached.

Wow it has been like a week since I updated this shit. A lot has happened.

I went out and voted, which helped John Kerry win MN, unfortunatly the same cannot be said about the election.

This coming Monday is the Howie Day show!! Matt will be there but I do not believe I will look for him. I have come to the realization that if he was interested at all he would have called and I would not be leaving messages on his AIM while he is away. It is so time to give up on that.

I maybe quoted in the MN Daily today. I gave them an interview about sexual violence and ended up telling them a little more than I wanted to. I guess its ok though, victims of sexual violence or rape rarley speak up. I guess they just refuse to see how what they say could help someone going through what they once did. Well its time that one of spoke up, that is why I gave the interview.

I really hope that a lot of people that know me wont come up to me now and expect me to talk and be completley open about it because it is still something that I am uncomfortable talking about. There were many resources available to me that would help me deal with what happened, yet I chose to deal with it on my own. When a victim tries to cope by themselves they end up placing the blame on themselves. Funny thing, even though I know this, and I know what happened to me was not my fault, a part of me stills places the blame on me.
