Day 1: Introduction and 15 interesting facts about myself!!

Well, here I am..this is the real me you are about to see here. Not that I ever act in a way that could be looked upon as fake...but I am the person that others go to with their problems...I am the "advice giver" friend. I am the friend that has it together and will be there for anyone at any time. I love this about myself. And I cherish that I can be that friend. The problem is, sometimes I get lost in translation and because I am that person always there to help out everyone else, when it is my turn to cry and turn to someone no one is there because everyone assumes I am great and have it all together. I appreciate the confidence in me by others, but sometimes I need someone there too, so with inspiration from a friend, I thought this blog would be a great way to share how life truly is for me and the trials and tribulations that have gotten me to where I am today. I have NO complaints about my life and I truly am a very blessed, happy person who loves life and loves to love others. That is me in a nutshell. However there are those deep dark horrible days where I dont know if I can do it anymore and those are the days that make me a stronger person and get me to the next stages of my life. This blog will hopefully open the eyes of those of you who care enough to stick around and truly UNDERSTAND me, without THINKING you understand me. So, with that said....I am going to start off with a little fun 15 facts about myself that maybe alot of people may not know...:)

1. I HATE the sound of water (or any liquid) being poured into a glass. I just got chills thinking about it.
2. My favorite thing to be called is D. not Danny, not Danielle-ee, not even Danielle. I like to be called D. only my hubby and his family call me that for some reason....
3. I consider myself pretty talented. Usually most things I attempt I am good at or I at least learn quickly. I'm a "quick learner!"
4. I LOVE to perform for others, especially if I am confident in what I am doing. One of the biggest rushes of adrenaline I ever got was when I danced on stage in the Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty.
5. I am so unbelievaly attached to my dog, that if I even think about him not being around one day for ONE second I start crying instantly. No one will ever understand the unconditional love he shows to me on a daily basis.
6. My little sister is on of the most important people in my life and I dont know if she really fully understands that. I would take a bullet for her.
7. I could EASILY eat Pizza for every meal of every day and be happy for life. as long as I could have ice cream for dessert.
8. I have the MOST rewarding but MOST underestimated job of all time....seriously...it is the best job for crazy people, but it is by far the BEST job I have ever had and every single day I thank God for blessing me with something I LOVE to do and making me so successful at it.
9. I have never even TOUCHED a cigarette. Literally....like I mean, refused to even hold one for someone, or buy cigarettes for anyone....I am serious...I wont even TOUCH one. Let alone smoke one.
10. Being that I have never even touched a cigarette, I definately have NEVER tried any sort of drug including everyone's most popular form of therapy, weed. Nope, not me.
11. I tried out for American Idol...I obviously did not make it....but I went for 3 days of audtions, so I made it for a while!! But, it was such a fun experience and I met some pretty awesome people.
12. I have met so many celebrities in my life that I completely lost track. Well over 50 celebs. Some I just happened upon, others I definately planned and did some strategizing to meet, but all in all, I met them!
13. I am deeply religious and believe everything happens for a reason, no matter how bad. I truly believe Jesus is my daddy and I feel so alive when I go to church.
14. I feel my absolute BEST when I am in the shower after the gym. I really feel as though I am washing away fat that just seeped out of my pores through sweat...its the best feeling ever!

15. The ONLY person who really truly has ever successfully broken my heart, not once, or twice, but multiple times, is my own father. Because of this, I dont let many people up and over the walls I build and this blog is hopefully going to help tear down some of those walls.
