THANKS FOR BEING HERE WITH US TODAY, DANIELLE. ARE YOU READY TO GET THIS STARTED?
Of course. I love interviews, ask me anything. As long as you capture my good side on this camera, I don’t see the problem with sitting here and looking pretty while answering your questions. Hit me with your best shot.
WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR A MAGAZINE, SO NO CAMERA'S GONNA CATCH HOW PRETTY YOU LOOK RIGHT NOW, SADLY! HOW HAS LIFE BEEN TREATING YOU, PRETTY LADY?
Urgh, is there at least going to be a two page spread with my face on it? And, are you hitting on me? But, besides all of that, my life has been very good recently. When I am not partying and hanging out with friends, I am being productive by looking for a bartending job in San Fran. I am also looking for a new apartment since I will be spending most of my time here now. I don’t have too much to complain about. Although, this could just be the calm before the storm starts in my life.
NO TWO PAGE SPREAD, SORRY. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE HIGH SCHOOL?
I did a lot of traveling in my spare time. This summer I went to Hawaii with a couple of my friends, so that was fun. I kind of bounced back and forth between different jobs, and I did try college for a bit, before changing my mind about that. I juggled just about everything for the past ten years, and I honestly think that it has been the best time of my life. It was way better than being stuck at some boring office job.
IT DOES SEEM LIKE YOU WENT DOWN A BUNCH OF PATHS ALREADY! IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE LANDED ON BARTENDING AS THE CAREER OF CHOICE?
Well, I have been bartending for about six months now, and I love it. I think it’s fun mixing drinks and earning tips because of my skills! It’s my career of choice as for now [chuckles]. I don’t know what kind of career I will have in a few years, though. But, I enjoy going to work and being around cute people for most of the night.
CUTE PEOPLE, HUH? ARE YOU CURRENTLY SEEING ANY OF THOSE SAID CUTE PEOPLE?
I’m not seeing any cute people. Relationships are not my style for many reasons. I know that my bestie and my brother are going to find their one true love, but I don’t see that for myself. Which is fine! Because making out with cute people without having to deal with all their baggage is better than being tied down to one person, in my opinion.
IF YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THAT, THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. BUT REALLY, THERE'S NO POTENTIAL WITH ANYONE RIGHT NOW?
I am happy! It’s fun to go on dates, but there is no pressure to commit to anything. I thought there was, but I was wrong. Which is probably a good thing because I’m not sure if it would have worked out, anyway.
ALRIGHT, DANIELLE, THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING HERE WITH US TODAY.
No problem! This was kind of fun, and thanks for interviewing me. •
