Salutations!

Greetings from BFE! :welcome: My name's Danielle. I took the liberty of copying the obligatory questions.

Current location? Western Michigan (Drive west from Bay City and stop 10 miles before you drive off the pier in Ludington into Lake Michigan. That's where I am.)

Where from? I was born in Ann Arbor, raised in Ypsilanti, and have lived in numerous other cities since then. Canton, MI; Bradenton, FL; Clarkston, MI; Baumholder, Germany (I was in the Army from 2004-2006.); Pinckney, MI; Whitmore Lake, MI; Warren, MI. Yeah, I have moved around a lot...

Gender? Female

Work? Not currently but I just applied for a part-time position at the school I'm attending.

School? West Shore Community College. I took a long detour on my road to college but that alternate route is what has given me the determination to reach my goals. I'm taking my last prerequisite class this fall and I will be starting the R.N. program next fall, graduating May 2013 at which time we will likely move back to the metro Detroit area.

Kids? I am the proud parent of a 2-year old tornado named Payton. She is the driving force behind, well, pretty much everything that I do.

Married? No, I'm divorced.

Single? No, I've been in a long-term relationship since 2007.

Hobbies? I don't really have much in the way of hobbies right now unless you count studying. My boyfriend works 3rd shift and sleeps during the day so I spend most of my time taking care of our daughter. Before motherhood, I spent a lot of my time out at the clubs in the metro Detroit area. I was a frequent patron of CC (started going in 2001), Necto (2007-), and I danced at Mephisto's during the summer of 2007 before I got pregnant and stopped going to bars and clubs. All the secondhand smoke made me feel guilty so I avoided it if at all possible.

How Did You Find DGN? I was searching for somewhere to go dancing on this side of the state and found this site.

Other Stuff? I moved to the West side of the state 2 years ago after my daughter suffered a head injury while we were visiting family here. We moved to be closer to her neurologist. (She had a rough road but she's doing great. Seeing her now, you would never know what she has been through.) I miss Detroit sometimes. Where I live now, traffic is 4 cars stuck behind a tractor. Ugh!

My musical taste: Numb, 16 Volt, BlutEngel, VNV, Active Media Disease, Assemblage 23, Wolfsheim, And One, Project Pitchfork, KMFDM, Wumpscut, Stromkern, Icon Of Coil, Das Ich, ohGr, E-Craft, Funker Vogt, Covenant, Unit:187, Suicide Commando, etc. I love to dance so I'll listen to just about anything that I can dance to but I prefer music of the stompy variety. :thumbsup:
