~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

i lied, but i had the time of my life living that lie.
*cocks head* what am i talking about you say?
on my last post, i said that i was no longer going to torture you all with once a month posts.
*checks calendar* but look. my last post was on august first and today is september seventh.
so sure, i lied. but i've never been that honest, honestly.
*fake gasp* but how do you know i'm not lying about not being honest?
anyway, let me tell you all where i've been. so last time you heard from me, i was heading off to tennessee to visit my dad and brother, yeah?
*nod* yeah, umhm.
so i'll tell you about that first. it was pretty awesome. my brother gabe's band just keeps getting better! i really think that they should get discovered, but who knows. maybe one day they will.
*blushes* also, the lead singer of my brothers band, jay, has this really hot girlfriend.
yeah, her name's gina and she's so goddamn pretty. but that's really a footnote in the story of where i've been for the last 36 days.
*eyes widen* have i really been gone that long? wow.
anyway. i tried to teach gabe some skateboarding tricks, but he sucked at it. i guess he should stick with piano and keyboard. but it still resulted in lots of good memories and good times.
*thumbs up* and everyone got along which is good.
usually they do, but the christmas of 2007, my mom and gabe got in a really big fight and we almost had to leave early. but it all turned out okay. it was quite like a lifetime movie, really.
*focusing* but another story, another post.
so not much huge and exciting happened there, but seeing my family was really great. i think in the future i will have many "one time while i was in tennessee..." moments in posts, so don't be surprised.
*flapping hands at nothing* oh wait, wait, wait!
the guitarist for gabe's band, justin, sneaked me away so i could go to this mega bisexual party with him. it was awesome! and i totally got to play spin the bottle. i used to think it was stupid, but now i think it's stupid that we ever stopped.
*looks dreamy* and i met this really awesome girl, chloe, too.
we talked for awhile and we got numbers and all that jazz. she's seventeen, but i will be in november, too.
*looks amazed* wow. can you believe i'm turning 17?
and the good news is, i didn't get drunk. i just got a little love drunk.
*laugh* gotta throw in my boys like girls puns!
i have a major crush on chloe. but she said that she would come up to luray for my birthday so i'll see her there. i'm hoping to get her to come sooner, but we'll see.
*claps hands together* anyway. let's keep moving.
so i got back on the 18th as expected. no problem there. lily-pagan was thrilled to see me, also as expected. so that's all for tennessee. but don't worry, there's many more stories to come.
*smiles ear to ear* hold onto your socks, ladies and gentlemen, because my next story is bound to knock 'em off!
alright. so as some of you know, september first was LP's sweet sixteen. she didn't plan a party because she likes to pretend she's not getting older.
*pats LP on the back* sorry, but we both know it's true.
so i planned to go to her house on her birthday, but she came to my house first. let me explain. so here i am, sound asleep, when lily-pagan comes bounding into my room and pounces on my bed. she says "annie, annie, wake up! have you ever been to minnesota?" and i grumbled "hell no. what time is it?" and she throws this thing at me. i pick it up and what is it?
*scream* tickets to see the american idols LIVE in minneapolis, minnesota!!!
the next part is pretty embarrassing, actually. i literally started crying. not faking. REAL HUMAN TEARS. i was like crying my eyes out i was so happy and excited. then she pulled me out of bed and informed me that i needed to get dressed because we were flying out of luray in an hour. more tears.
*hysteric laughter* gives me chills just thinking about it.
so we flew there, blah blah blah, and we got to stay in a really awesome hotel. just the three of us. me, lily-pagan and LP's mom. i'm pretty much like her second daughter, so there was no awkwardness staying in the same room and stuff.
*thinking about that giant bed* and it was a king sized bed. way cool.
we went to the mall of america and walked around for awhile, but we still had to get to the concert at seven. there was some major cool stuff, and i got another pair of converse. there ones are red high tops, though. my other ones being those sexy yellow ones.
*wink* just like alex evans has.
then of course we went to the AMERICAN IDOLS LIVE CONCERT with ass kicking floor seats. i thought i was gonna die. i mean, i've been to plenty concerts before, but these were the american idols! i saw my boys, kris and adam. and everyone else was pretty good too.
*fans herself* and wowsa, you should've seen adam! grinding the mic stand and thrusting and everything!
if we would've had time (and an extra ticket) i would've flown to colorado and picked up emma because i know how much she likes adam. i would've been so cool to have her there, too.
*boo boo lip* sorry emma.
we got to take a train back from the concert which was cool, too. i kept thinking about that scene in that nicholas cage movie (knowing) which made the whole ride kind of nervous making, but it was so damn cool.
*heavy eyes* but i was SO tired.
so we got back to the hotel and immediately passed out. sleeping for a few hours, then taking off in the morning. it was full on one of the best days of my life and one of the best concerts, too!
*thinking back to september 24, 2007* the best concert being when i saw warped tour in virginia beach back in 07.
that was really superhumanly awesome too. all time low, paramore and most importantly BOYS LIKE GIRLS. boys like girls was amazing live and i love martin johnson uber much.
*looks smug* so THAT's where i've been. see? suddenly posting seems like it was on the bottom on my to-do list.
but i'm back on blogger and hopefully i'll start posting more. it's true. when i'm posting, i'm always thinking "wow, i love to post! why don't i do this more often?" but then about a month later i'm like "oh, i should post, shouldn't i?"
*feeling apologetic* my apologies, everyone who counts on my blog.
so, i've got one more story before i go. i would like to officially like to say that i'm in love with boys like girls. i mean, i've liked them since 2006, when their debut album came out. but now i'm obsessed! i really like their music and i think the lyrics are really good. plus, martin johnson is really hot. and he's got these heart-piercing bedroom eyes.
*drool* serious. they're amazing.
i'm really like their music. the lyrics are really good and the way martin johnson sings it is really heartfelt. i'm getting my copy of love drunk tomorrow. score!
*looks up at the extremely lengthy post* well, i think it's about time to wrap things up.
but before i go, i've gotta be thorough and announce the must watch-see-hear. as if you all don't know what it is.
*opening a letter like on the Oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
um... Love Drunk! Boys Like Girls sophomore album, of course! seriously, if it's even half as good as the first one and if the music videos and as hot as the ones they've already done, then it's worth it. got buy it! out tomorrow.
*sigh* so i guess i must bid you all farewell.
i will try to post again soon, but i won't make any promises since apparently i suck at those. expect more tales for minnesota on anastasia and lily-pagan's box of chocolates. but for now, i'm over and out! come see me at twitter, gmail or facebook!
*vulcan hand* live long and prosper.

live, love, boys like girls
anastasia<3:)

PS: i finally bought and ate an exotic melon from the market down the street! it was totally a cantaloupe. what a rip off.
PSS: check out martinsays.com! it's martin johnson from boys like girls blog. he's really funny! [and adorable]

i'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

ladies and gentlemen ... boys and girls ... children of all ages ...
*wearing a ringmaster coat* anastasia is in the house.
yes, dears, there's no need to worry. i'm back on the blogger boat.
*wink* it's addictive, really.
and now it's time for everybody's favorite thing... the weather report.
*wearing a weatherman coat* today it's 76 degrees and partly cloudy.
of course, the weather forecast (as heard on the radio) says that we're supposed to be getting rain tonight.
*fingers crossed* i love the rain so my fingers are crossed!
now, now.. what to talk about today...
*bangs gavel* i'll tell you what! TENNESSEE!!
yes! we've finally set the date for going to see my dad and brother! we're going on monday.
*looking at calendar* which is ... the 3rd?
i've been really busy planning and packing for that, which explains my absence on blogger, twitter, facebook, etc.
*covers mouth* oops. i said i wasn't going to make an excuses.
anyway, i'm so damn excited to see them. i haven't seen them since last christmas. of course, i call and stuff, but i haven't actually been the visit them in a long time.
*looking at calendar again* i'm leaving on the 3rd and i'll be back on the 17th. that's 2 weeks.
so the good news is that i won't miss Lily-Pagan's birthday (which is the 1st of september)
*nodding, proud of herself* it's an all around win.
i'm extra excited to see gabe because he's gotta be the best brother anyone could ever hope for!
*makes a heart with hands* he makes my heart SUPER happy.
for those of you who haven't been following my blog for ... forever. i'll fill you in. gabe is my brother and he's 3 years older than me. he's doesn't go to college, much to my parents dismay. but he's in a band with 5 other guys. they're pretty good, too.
*cocks her head* they kinda have Boys Like Girls sound, you know?
gabe plays keyboard and piano for them. i'm rooting for them to get discovered!
*shifty eyes* if that's not too pathetic...
ooh yes! i have more to talk about in today's post! our next subject is...
*fake asleep* dreams.
i know this is quite random and pointless, but that's all this blog is about, right? so anyway, i've been having really weird dreams lately. what kind of weird you say?
*looks embarrassed* they usually have kangaroos.
no, i'm NOT making this up! it's crazy! almost every dream i have is perfectly normal [as far as dreams go] and then a KANGAROO shows up out of nowhere!
*looks frenetic* what's the meaning of dreams with kangaroos?
i know it's a stupid thing to be bothering me, but it is. every fucking night.
*hangs head* maybe it's just too many gummy bears and oreos...
but seriously, it's been bugging me so much, i finally googled "dream meaning kangaroo"
*silence* the answers i got were less than satisfying.
it said that i should get ready for "unexpected and exciting trips." how someone got that out of kangaroos, i'm not sure.
*thinking* it is kind of cool, though.
i don't really believe in dream meanings, but they're cool never the less? what did you dream last night?
*laugh* you guys are probably sick of hearing about my kangaroo dreams, aren't you?
let's see. what else could i tell you about?
*light bulb lights* oh yeah!
there's this little grocery store about 10 minutes away, that me and LP discovered recently. they have really tasty cookies and really weird fruit.
*hysteric laughter* they have a big bin of something labeled "exotic melons"
me and LP were laughing about that for like 20 minutes. one day i'll build up the courage to eat one. in fact, it's on my summer list.
*gestures over to the sidebar* over there.
the little grocery store also has very good gummy bears. they taste more like fruit than sugar. it's awesome.
*shrug* well, folks. that's about all for now.
however, i simply couldn't leave you without the must watch-see-hear! so here it goes;
*opening a letter like on the oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
Once! the Academy Award winning movie! yes, it is the movie that brought you the song Falling Slowly. beautiful in the movie, and butchered by many on youtube.
*suddenly has a headache* i'm not kidding. don't ever youtube it.
and it's really cool because they never name the characters. it's really very beautiful. if you thought i was kidding about all my other must watch-see-hears...
*Uncle Sam point* i'm not about this one! WATCH IT!
well, i'd better skidaddle! i've got melons to mock with LP! ttfn!
*blowing kisses* and thank you to all my followers! you inspire me!

live, love, Cobra Starship

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

confession: i was going to make this post melodramatic.
*thumbs up* but lucky for you, i decided not to.
you see, everyone has been coming clean about internet personas and i think it might be because of me...
*walks into a stop sign* ow! what?
oh yeah! the weather report! which i was going to get rid of, but my idol blogger likes it, so it will stay
*wearing a weatherman coat* today's weather is 91 degrees and perfectly sunny.
yeah, i wanted it to stop raining but i guess now i know what they mean by "be careful what you wish for"
*clears throat* but anyway, let's move onto what's [really] important!
internet confessions, of course!
*holds out a calendar* you see, here's what i think.
i recently came out about using fake pictures and pretending they were myself.
*shrugs* a lot of people already knew, so thanks to anyone who knew and didn't mention it.
so i told everyone i met through the internet and luckily, everyone excepted it. then...
*holds up a picture of emma* Emma [formerly known as DCas] came out and said that she wasn't really devin caster and she isn't really living in london.
of course, i love my emma, so i didn't care if she used fake pictures because i love her for who she is.
*pish posh hand wave* but please, don't worry. i may be bi, but i'm not cyber-crushing on emma...
so then my other bud, Yerika came out an said that she wasn't really 16, she's 14.
*pats Yerika on the back* again, no worries because i have come to know who she really is and age is nothing but a number.
and finally, my bestie Lily-Pagan came out and said that she wasn't using her own pictures either.
*shh finger* i knew, but i had her back.
and now Emma is using her own pics, Yerika is officially 14 and Lily-Pagan is using her own pictures.
*gestures toward the dominos on the side* domino reaction, see?
a domino reaction from ME. but what's the problem?
*gasp* i've never officially come out about my fake pictures!!
so i am here today to say...
*steps out of her closet* those old pictures were not me!!
but of course, now i'm using my own pictures. hence the banner [with a picture of my true self] and my profile [also featuring a real picture of myself].
*wearing a cape* so alas, i have finally come clean! fear not!
but why aren't i going to linger on my declaration for the whole freaking post?
*looks determined* because THIS.
a person's true worth should be measured by where their heart is, what they dream of and how they touch the lives of people around them!
*Uncle Sam point* so i want you to go look in the mirror!
and say "i'm [insert your full name here] and i'm doing just fine!"
*blush* yeah, i did that about 46 times before i finally came out about my fake pictures.
but since i just explained that we're not lingering on this subject, let's move on, shall we?
*looking around for something to talk about* well, hmm, let's see...
oh yeah! my writing is starting to look up! Emmybear's [Emma] writing has inspired me to keep writing Bohemian Rhapsody!
*smiles at Emma* yup, it's not as cool as DCas but Emmybear is your new nickname.
of course, since i'm still mad at Bohemian Rhapsody, i'm talking about 18 days...
*flapping her hands at nothing* Bohemian Rhapsody is so typical and mushy! rawr!
so i was actually pondering getting rid of the whole damn thing. anybody read it? what do you think?
*winks* leave me a crayon, please.
i might just scrap 18 Days and Bohemian Rhapsody all together and start a new story blog. i have a few ideas milling around in my head that are less teeny-bopper and unoriginal.
*Kris/Logan Jay point* again, leave me a crayon.
of course, there's little to nothing you can do to save those blogs now because i'm so bored and frustrated with them. but i just want to know what people who read those blogs really think about them. i need to know.
*happy dance* but the good news is that me and LP should be posting on Box of Chocolates very very soon!
now that i'm done bitching about my writing, let's move onto our next topic...
*poses* i'm trying to convince LP to do a talent show with me.
you see, i want us to sing 'must have done something right' by relient k [because it's our theme song!!] but she just keeps telling me that she has stage fright.
*shifty eyes* of course, i have some experience because i've had more than one crazed karaoke performance in my life...
but that's another story for another time!!
*guilty coughing* oh my bejeezuz.
but still! i mean, almost nobody's actually GOOD at talent shows anyway! but i'm not sure LP can be bought..
*claps her hands together* so go bombard her blog with comments telling her to sing in the talent show with me!!
lmao she is going to be so pissed at me but it will totally be worth it...
*drums her fingers restlessly* hmm... now what?
goly gee, folks, i think that's about it! should we cut to the must watch-see-hear and call it a day? alright!
*opening a letter like on the Oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
IT'S A TIE!! between Nothing Personal an album by All Time Low! and Leave This Town an album by Daughtry! they're both very new and very good. i just got it them other day but they went straight to my ipod. you should check them out!
*waving goodbye* now folks, i must be off!
LP just texted to say she was coming over and i must prepare the cupcakes! lol yeah, i always make cupcakes when she comes over for movie nights.
*excited clapping* we're watching Charlie Bartlett and Blind Dating to honor Anton Yelchin [star of Charlie Bartlett, also played Checkov in Star Trek] and Chris Pine [star of Blind Dating, also played Kirk in Star Trek]
so farewell loyal readers and followers! i PROMISE to post soon!
*Vulcan hand* live long and prosper.

live, love, Daughtry

ahh i haven't been on blogger in so long...

*shrugs excitedly* it's exciting!

i missed you all and i missed posting. but alas...

*looks dramatically into the middle-distance* let us look forward, not back.

time for the weather report! yes, you either find this annoying or love it, yeah?

*wearing a weatherman coat* right now it is 68 degrees and cloudy in beautiful luray, virginia.

so what is new in my life [other than the weather]? let us see...

*tapping chin thoughtfully* hmm... well...

i'm loving the new green day album, for serious. it's a little repetitive, but it's really good!

*eye twitches* the only thing that could ruin such a lovely thing?

the fact that crazy victoria likes green day, too.

*mourning* why does she have all the same likes as me??

and lucky for her, she just completely ignores my bestie lily-pagan now!

*snarls* well, well. lucky lily!

not me. nope. she has a vice grip on me and i don't know how...

*hangs head* but alas, i'm under specific instruction to be nice to her...

basically so she doesn't rip my head off since she's famous for it. my friend june was telling me horror stories of crazy victoria before i joined the homeschooling group.

*cracks whip* somehow, i tame her. crazy, right?

but seriously she was talking about how she used to cut off chunks of her hair and stab herself with needles. okay, i understand self harm, but that seems a little weird.

*smiles encouragingly* i've known cutters, i write for cutters. i understand, don't worry.

but that bitch is on the crazy train, because i've never seen mood swings quite like that!!

*rubs her hands together, joyously* but you know why i'm happy?

my mom bought me the adam lambert rolling stone! ahh i've already read it, too. i won't go into details, because i want you to read it for yourself, but i'm utterly unaffected by him being gay.

*rubbing her face on the cover* and of course, the pics were gorgeous!

and part of me just wanted to see what he was like without the Idol sweetener. short answer?

*holding up letters like a cheerleader* A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

seriously, he's so funny and sharp. it's awesome. if there was a must watch-see-read, he would win one.

*Uncle Sam point* nevertheless! i want YOU to read adam in the rolling stone!

ahh i love the rolling stone. the same magazine that brought me the fabulous news that lady gaga is bi. i was like... "yeah sister! me too!"

*rolls her eyes* of course crazy victoria was bitching about that, too.

and she was like "did you know lady gaga is bi? but her only attraction to women is physical." and i was just like "oh, that's okay. she could be my friends with benefits."

*cold breeze blows by* and then there was silence.

i have a habit of blurting out socially inappropriate comments at random. it's not a disease or anything, it's just kind of quirk.

*hangs head in shame* you may have already noticed that though...

speaking of my quirks, i have the explain my newest one [it also explains the random emo thing at the top.] so anyway, i have this habit of saying something is so "hardcore."

*recalling all the times i've said "hardcore"* A LOT.

i'm not sure why or when it started. but i tend to say something like "oh yes, he's so hardcore." i can't stop myself. i just seem to say it.

*cocks her head* isn't that so hardcore?

anyway, on one of my all time favorite blogs, she made a list of things she wanted to do over the summer. and since summer is approaching, i figured i'd make mine. [homage to anni[eek!]]

break into that abandoned house by the park
see star trek 7 times before it's out of theaters
stand up to julie, the queen bitch of thespian camp
come out to all my friends that didn't already know
sneak into movies i didn't pay to see [got idea from anni[eek!]]
get more auditions for theaters and do well! [ambitions]
walk to hayden's house and make her take a walk with me
dye the blue back into my hair, shortly followed by convincing crazy victoria i didn't do it because adam has black hair with a blue streak
belt out don't stop believin' downtown with LP and nicole
get matt giraud to follow me on twitter!!!

i could probably think of more, but those are my top 10.

*laughs* yeah, the one about matt is real.

i'm kind of weird and quirky, but it's absolutely no fun at all to be normal, am i right?

*fist pump* right!

also, a new exciting release to chase down the new green day album!

*flapping hands at nothing* Fired Up! came out on DVD!!

and of course, i own it. i have to have lily-pagan over to watch it, since i saw it in the theater with danielle. i think she'd be a little freaked out by it, but it's great!

*flips hair, sparkles come out* pop some popcorn, get into my muffin pajamas, watch some Fired Up! with LP...

oh! i've got another confession. and this one is pretty weird and kind of creepy.

*shifty eyes* i have a growing obsession with little girls.

not sexually!! no, no, no! just that they're so cute and sweet. of course, LP freaked out when i said that i liked the blonde ones the best. but nicole thinks little girls are adorable, too.

*thumbs up* so at least i have someone to be creepy with!

speaking of nicole and creepy things. nicole has been egging me on to kiss isabelle. but i think that would completely blow her straight little mind. and it might ruin our friendship...

*yikes face* oh ouch...

but if i ever move away, or she ever does, i'm puckering up, babe.

*the room falls silent* socially inappropriate outbursts like that...

well, before i say too much, i better just deliver the must watch-see-hear and skidaddle.

*opening a letter like on the oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...

the friends with benefits - EP by electric valentine! yes, it's very obscure but you can get it on iTunes if you have it. i love electric valentine, too.

*nodding, proud of herself* crazy sexy dance music. yes sir.

well, i'll try to post again soon on this blog and my other blogs. take care everyone! and don't forget to leave me a crayon! love those things!

*blowing kisses* muah! goodnight!

live, love, a kiss could be deadly

anastasia<3:)

PS: does anyone ever actually check out what i recommend for the must watch-see-hear? just curious, you know?

PSS: this post has been so hardcore x]

you're awful, i love you!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

do you notice something different about the blog? well... do ya?
*happy flapping* that's because the whole thing is totally new!
i didn't change the name and go the whole nine yards, but i got a new temple and header, i only show one post and the sidebar is way shorter.
*sparkles in her eyes* much joy.
err i better just give you the whether report before i forget.
*wearing a weatherman coat* it's now 67 degrees and cloudy in this lovely part of virginia.
yes, it is still pretty warm for this late at night.
*gestures to the sidebar* let me say one thing quickly...
20 followers? my love, that is excellent. considering i used to have a no face blog that i practically had to beg people to follow, this is improvement. thank you all for sticking with me!
*shifty eyes* err i know most of you haven't been following this very long. but nevertheless, thanks.
so what shall our first topic of the night be...? hmm...
*sighs* i'm sorry, but i just have to weigh in on this.
susan boyle. i HATE her. i watched her audition on youtube and i was like "hot dayumm this lady can siing!" but the more i watched the more i was like...
*jaw drops* "wow, she can sing, but is she a conceited bitch or what??"
and then she had all her public meltdowns and i was like "get a GRIP!" and then her boyfriend judge pierce morgan came rushing to her side, blogging about how people should give her a break. and i was like...
*puts on a flat brimmed hat, channeling chris brown* "yo! she's a media hungry spaz! how about YOU give ME a break!"
and then when i heard she didn't win i was just like "phew!" yeah, i guess sorry to any who liked her. but keep in mind i never said she couldn't sing!
*pish posh hand wave* but "blog" is basically another word for "opinion"
and now i've heard that she was admitted to a mental hospital and i'm just like "it took you that long to figure out she's unwell? really people?"
*bats eyelashes* but all that aside... is there anything cheerful to talk about?
ahh i've been missing lily-pagan because she went to hopewell (also in virginia) to help her uncle move.
*sticks out her tongue* LP has a crazy and confused family. i won't go into details.
speaking of family, the good news is that i might be able to go see my brother gabe and my dad this summer! glee!
*boo boo lip* yes, my parents are divorced.
but they live in knoxville, tennessee. so it takes us about 7 or 8 hours to drive there.
*smiles cheerfully* but i usually only see him in the summer and then around christmas time so it's worth the drive!
gabe is three years older than me. we've always been pretty close because we can still call and text and stuff.
*pokes her cheeks* and then of course his adorable girlfriend!
yes, he has this adorable girlfriend of 1 year and 5 months now. her name is bailey. she's only a year older than me so that's ultra coolio.
*Kris/Logan Jay point* bailey -> mucho love
people usually think that people with divorced parents must have had tortured lives and unfortunately sure some have. not me. nope. my parents both love me and gabe, they just don't love each other.
*sigh of relief* and there was no heated custody battle because they just both agreed that it would be much harder on us to have custody problems.
see? they both have our best interests at heart. so gabe and my dad live in knoxville and me and my mom live in luray. and we all get together over the summer and around christmas.
*beaming with pride* so very luckily for me, it's a good life.
but yes, expect many posts of amusing tales from tennessee.
*dramatic announcer voice* coming summer 2009!
but the one trouble is... i have been soooo sick! blurg, it's awful.
*sways faintly* i've puked 6 times in the last two days...
i'm feeling a little better and i even made my mom take me to the chinese buffet that i always go to with dana.
*makes a heart with her hands* gotta love that panda buffet!
so despite my apparent flu, i got to go to lunch with my mom and start getting excited over my summer in tennessee! glee!
*counting on her fingers* but we usually only stay in tennesse for about two to three weeks. but i'll bring my laptop or just blog from gabe's so never fear!
*wearing a cape* anastasia is here!
well anyway, it's getting late and i should catch some sleep because i'm feeling ill. let me just give out the must watch-see-hear.
*opening a letter like on the oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
abbey road! an album by the beatles! ha ha ha i just got into my older music and stuff and i'm loving my abbey road and joshua tree.
*Uncle Sam point* it's a must watch-see-hear!
well, good night everyone and i hope that everyone is healthier than me but still having just as good of a day as me!
*blowing kisses* muah! love you all!

live, love, U2

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

alright so let me make a declaration.
*light bulb overhead* like david cook!
me and lily-pagan just saw star trek for the 3rd time earlier. and i was reading dcas's blog and she loves it, too.
*Aretha head* so before anyone says it...
chekov belongs to lily-pagan. spoc belongs to dcas. kirk belongs to me!
*shrugs* what are blogger friends without a common thread?
chris pine (kirk) was so adorable in the movie! and i know that's nowhere near original, but what the hell?
*fan girl heart overhead* i love chris pine/kirk!
i've been seriously missing your comments, dcas! come back to me!
*spins chair around* moving on...
yes indeed. i had a memorial picnic with me, my mom, LP, nicole, her mom and her dad. i actually hadn't seen nicole in awhile so that was sweet.
*kicking at the ground* awhile being about a week...
but apparently, nicole got a new boyfriend. what?? i feel so out of the loop... she gets a new boyfriend about once a month. i love you, nicole. but seriously, your obsession with boyfriends is bizarre and foreign to me.
*raises eyebrows curiously* his name's misha.
yesh, me and LP know him. he's in our homeschooling group. i started calling him my brother for really no reason so now i'll just be like "hey, brother!" and he's just like "hi, anastasia..."
*cheesy smile* i dunno if he's that amused by me.
but anyway, me, nicole and lily-pagan are planning a midsummer party. i immediately called DJ even though i know i'll probably have to share it with jayk.
*kissy face* jayk is obsessed with music, like me.
i have no idea if we'll even have music. and in the back of my mind i'm a little freaked out because like half the people in this group must live under a rock!
*hangs her head* i dunno what music they listen to...
jayk likes stuff like ACDC, KISS and van halen. and nicole likes j-rock. other than that, i dunno what they hella bolloo these people listen to!
*cold breeze* and of course the crazy v's listen to adam... way too much...
it's hard to find a common ground. and i know dana listens to the kind of stuff on pandora radio. and june and chrissy are radio hoppers. but really, i have friends that i have no idea what they listen to.
*snaps her fingers* but the best part is...
we're making it invite only so we don't have to suffer the crazy v's!
*fist pump* yes!!!
so this midsummer party sounds like loads of fun. no sarcasm. just fun.
*contented sigh* so much glee, so little crazy v's...
me and LP still have to do that post about our homeschooling group for box, so i'll keep you posted there. so anyway- WAIT!!!!!
*world stops turning* i forgot the weather report!!
how could i?? it's the opening part of every post! eek! i've gotta put it in ASAP!
*wearing a weatherman coat, clearly flustered* currently it is 57 degrees and raining with a slight bit of hail.
phew! my aura is back the way it's supposed to be... so let's move on like that way supposed to happen, shall we?
*hangs her head* lately, i've been so uninspired in my writing...
i sat at my computer for about an hour yesterday trying to post on 18 days and NOTHING came to mind. complete white noise.
*blank stare* isn't it tragic?
it's so sad how other writers are supposed to inspire you. but i was reading this blog the other day and i was just like... "this girl is good. i'm lily white by comparison."
*rose swipe* as i always say, writers are 90% creativity and 10% jealousy.
alas, i know i need to post on both of my writing blogs but i'm so conflicted.
*zachary quinto black stare, develops vulcan ears* i find myself as conflicted as i once was as a child.
it's a line in the new star trek. and yes, my and lily-pagan are those people you hate how say all the lines to each other. actually, it's just the previews. we shut up for the actual movie.
*coughs a few times* as i was saying.
i have absolutely no inspiration for a short story and bohemian rhapsody is turning out so bubblegum teeny bopper and predictable. i hate it.
*poses dramatically* to write or not to write!
i dunno if i should continue bohemian rhapsody or replace it with something less teeny bopper and predictable. thoughts are welcome!
*uncle sam point* i want YOU to leave me a crayon.
also, i was thinking of revamping this layout. i've had it since early january. and lily-pagan just redid the look to her blog so i'm especially wondering.
*shrugs* what can i say? i'm a leftist.
so if you have any thoughts on the matter, leave me a crayon. to change the template, or not to change the template? that is the second question.
*big pleading eyes* i need your thoughts! please leave a crayon!
especially you, DCas! i miss your crayons ):
*tapping her chin* and that's all for now, i guess...
it's not as long as it usually is i don't think, but i just wanted to get back into the habit of posting. so i'll give you the watch-see-hear and move along.
*opening a letter like on the oscars* and the watch-see-hear goes to...
what else? STAR TREK! amazing movie. much love for JJ Abrams.
*nodding, proud of herself* i watch lost and fringe.
but heroes annoys me. but overall, JJ Abrams has major props from anastasia.
*peace sign* peace, love, JJ Abrams!
hope you're all doing very well! don't forget to crayon! i love getting them!
*Chris Pine intense face, sitting in the captain chair* anastasia out.

live, love, the starting line
anastasia<3:)

PS: i got a facebook the other day. i'm still figuring out, but when i do, i'll post a link on the sidebar and maybe in the post. facebook is so confusing right now... O.O

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

let me start by saying two things. number one...
*flapping her hands at nothing* i'm sorry for not posting! i've been busy...
and number two. i have waaaaay too many things to talk about this time so this post might seem way too long. sorry and i hope you all get through it. so let's move on with the weather report brought to you by marvelous me!
*wearing a weatherman coat* currently it is 75 degrees and partly cloudy.
so what's new by me? well, i made a new blog!
*heavy sigh* yeah, i know. i probably don't need another one.
but this one is for my short stories! you can go to it here for more details...
*cheesy smile* yeah, i haven't posted yet...
well, i wrote a whole story but then i hated it and i got rid of it. sorry guys! i'll post something up there soon.
*tapping her chin thoughtfully* other news...
EGAD! oh yes! i missed the dollhouse season finale because of my DVR!
*sobbing* nooooo!!
and i asked the crazy v's because they watch it to (just another love of mine for them to ruin for me) and they started talking at the same time and all i could make it is "dr. claire is a doll!"
*blank stare, cold breeze* i already knew that...
so alas and alack, i have no idea how things resolved on dollhouse. so sad.
*sobs again* and they announced that terminator: the sarah connor chronicles isn't getting renewed. anti-glee...
i haven't gotten a chance to watch it, but glee is on my DVR for me and LP's future veiwing.
*rain cloud overhead* oh gosh, trying to think of happy news is surprisingly difficult...
ooh! i watched the season finale of supernatural and that rocked seriously hard.
*makes a heart with her hands* love my winchester boys!
also i'm way happy that DCas is feeling better now! i was gonna email her the instructions on how to change her commenting format because i know how to have a coolio background and still have functioning comments.
*points to devin caster* email me at anastasiaatthepiggery@gmail.com young lady!
and she was saying how much adam lambert inspired her. i won't steal him from her, but i too was inspired by adam. i'm thinking about taking a serious career path in theater, musical or non-musical.
*happy sigh* but adam has helped me shake the dust off that dream
i'm still an adam fan. always was. i wasn't be upset that kris won, because he's really amazing in his own right, but i'm still an adam fan till death.
*gasps* and of course kradam!
what is kradam you ask? the romantic pairing of kris allen and adam lambert of course!
*nodding, proud of herself* they're the new cookstro!
but seriously, i love them as a pairing beyond belief! you can check me out at..
*rainbow overhead* only the best place on the web! kradam.com!
yesh, i actually have a sign in and a profile and stuff! i'll put the link on my sidebar.
*heavy sigh* but before we get too far from american idol, let me get in a quick word.
i love adam lambert. i really like kris allen. i couldn't lose. almost all of the guest performances were mind numbingly sexy. except for those featuring anoop desai. it was a great idol finale.
*sniffling* i cried. no really.
not because i was sad that adam lost. because it was by far my favorite season of idol and i'm completely heartbroken that it's over.
*reaching at the TV* noooo! come back season 8!
more than half of the blogs i follow posted about idol though, and soon enough LP will post a full report about idol here and we'll probably up up talking about it on box.
*sticks out her tongue* that's short for anastasia and lily-pagan's box of chocolates.
well, whenever i post about american idol i get about 8 crayons and whenever i post about homeschooling i get about 1 crayon so it's pretty obvious what i should talk about if i want crayons.
*rolls her eyes* but there's way too much to cover!
i have to get a word in about the epic creative writing battle. well...
*sitting in a rocking chair with a dusty book* there once were too girls named anastasia and lily-pagan...
we're homeschooled. and please don't ask me what i'm doing about college! because that's what every single person i tell i'm homeschooled asks me.
*anime pulse overhead* i'm gonna GO to college! that's what i'm gonna do!
but anyway, we take a class is creative writing because as you know, we love to write. we have it with june and chrissy who are really awesome. i call chrissy chirp. and kyle and david. kyle is june's brother and david is this really nice guy who's friends with kyle. and of course...
*ice cold wind blows by* crazy victoria and crazy vanessa.
crazy vanessa is my little fan girl. she follows me around and repeats all my catchphrases.
*air quotes* "hey love" and "dear lawd" being two of them.
she's not THAT bad. she's not a crazy obsesses-er the way victoria is. she's just really energetic i guess.
*eye twitches* i sympathize a lot more with her.
so anywho, the teacher emailed our parents and said that there were some people in the class who annoyed her and her wanted to kick them out basically.
*snarls* seriously, julie! grow a set!
she's so unprofessional. it irks me. grr... so in the email it was really obvious that she was talking about me, LP, and the crazy sisters. so we had to be extra quiet this week so she didn't kick us out.
*shrugs* the crazy V's i can live without but not my writing.
so we came into the center (it's in an old school) and of course i was wise and brought my sunglasses. why did this help?
*laughs* because then crazy victoria couldn't tell if i was making eye contact or not!
she always tries to talk to me while i'm in the middle of something but she gets pissed if i don't look directly at her. sunglasses to the rescue!
*clears her throat* anyway.
lucky lily-pagan got to sit next to june and chrissy because she came in the other door to the room but i was stuck with crazy victoria.
*reaching for LP* come back to me!
i did some good writing and maybe i'll continue one of them for 18 Days. but crazy victoria kept writing about adam. and i was like "hey! ass munch! didn't you get the email? it said inside jokes piss her off!"
*snarls again* of course julie (the teacher) doesn't have to balls to kick anyone out.
but victoria kept saying "oh, well, this will make sense to SOME people..." and then she read "he had weird things that looked like cages on his shoulders."
*jaw drops* hey! genius! only lady gaga and adam wear cages on their shoulders! i'll give you a ZERO for creativity!
it was horrible. she a bad writer, too. and now she thinks she can write songs. and she's tonedeaf.
*smiles enthusiastically* it just keeps getting better, doesn't it?
but the goods news is that we didn't get kicked out and i got some good starts. so overall i guess it was a win.
*looks up at the post* err... i think that was long enough.
it doesn't seem like it, but i guess it is. i'll just get to the watch-see-hear.
*opening a letter like on the oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
GLEE!!! i haven't actually watched it yet but it is going to be amazing!
*Totoro smile* i LOVE shows about the workings of a theater group!
you always have the jock that is a really good singer and dancer and the prima dona who everyone puts up with because they're amazing and the queen who can't stand the prima dona. it's great.
*Uncle Sam point* that's why i want YOU to watch GLEE!
well, i should be posting soon because i forgot how much i loved posting but i still have to post on 18 Days and maybe me and LP will post on box because she's coming over later.
*peace sign* ciao! hope everyone's doing okay!

live, love, taking back sunday

PS: sorry, i still love idol! i just didn't want to do all the works about the finale!

who's the slacker blogger??
*waving excitedly* i am! i am!
yesh, alas and alack, i haven't posted in FOREVER.
*fanning herself* sorry all my beloved followers!
well, well, well. i actually have random crap to say so let's get on with the weather report.
*wearing a weatherman jacket* it's 57 degrees and pouring rain in luray, tonight folks.
i have no idea when the rain is gonna let up... it's been raining all day...
*looking sadly out the window, sighs* so sad...
so let's back track to last friday. i have to get a word in...
*reaching at the screen in horror* VICTOR!!! NOOOOO!!!
yesh, alpha made a long awaited appearance on dollhouse on friday. but how did we know it was alpha? well he's pretty much evil and slashes people's faces with a blade like zoro.
*jaw drops in utter horror* but he slashed victor's face!!
he didn't die which was almost worse because then he was just on the ground crying and covering his face for the rest of the scene... dammit, joss whedon!
*snarls* and further more!
it just flat out sucked to be victor for that episode. the first time you saw him they imprinted
him with lawrence dominic (who i miss, personally) and he was strapped into the chair.
*makes a face as if to say "yikes"* that sucks...
and then ballard and boyd broke his pod and they were "fighting on him" and the poor dear was shrieking in horror and seemed traumatized!
*sexy actor glasses swip* but what did we learn from this weeks dollhouse?
dr. saunders might be a doll herself!!
*gasp* no! it can't be!
yeah, it took me a couple times and a few minutes after of deep thinking to figure that one out...
*flips her hair* let me show off my skills.
when victor is imprinted with dominic, he looks over at claire helplessly and says "whiskey." now, since all the dolls names are based on letters of the alphabet, it's likely that claire is the W! which would explain why alpha spared her. also when alpha asked if she's always wanted to be a doctor and she says yes, her snarls "that's not true." maybe because she's a doll!!
*Logan Jay/Kris point* mad skills, right?
yesh, that was truly dollhouse fanatic of me...
*flapping her hands at nothing* but let's skip to what's important here!
tonight and last night were american idol nights! rock week with...
*sudden air guitar, sticks out her tongue* SLASH!!!
i'm a fan of guns & roses and velvet revolver so slash is on my good side. so i was psyched about this week. which totally delivered. adam sang led zeppelin and in the words of my ma "how many things can "every inch of my love" and "a whole lot of love" mean??" adam got it! he was totally sexed up and in one of his moods! oh my gawd! so sexy last night x3
*leans closer and gives him puppy dog eyes* please?
ah-hem... LP gets it. INSIDE JOKE! sorry, moving on...
*gasps excitedly* the kris and danny duet!
yeah, they did duets but they were good so pish posh. kris and danny did 'renegade' which i was really nervous about but i really liked it and kris looked really hawt. it's a win win!
*tapping her chin thoughtfully* actually, kris looked mind numbingly yummy all night...
that's what SHE said! yesh, bet you didn't know i'm a "that's what she said" joke person. sorry! i'm a bit of a perv...
*drooling, panting* well as long as i'm being perverted...
allison and adam did a duet which was really really good. and they have a great dynamic. they could totally record something together. but did you see adam's pants??? skintight. striped. pants. oh my gawd! yum!
*thumbs up* plus me and LP support the pairing of adam and allison. shweet.
but let's get onto the results show before i talk too much about adam last night...
*sad face* the results were depressing... but that's later.
the ford commercial was 100% lame. eh. maybe 90% because adam hair was absolutely terrific. i loved it. weird... the guest performers were paula abdul, daughtry and no doubt.
*looks totally lost* i dunno what to say.
paula's was amazing choreographed and not so amazingly lip-synced. no doubt was so bizarre that i told my mom to fast forward through them and daughtry... chris daughtry is really good and i love daughtry. but i will admit they sound A LOT like shinedown.
*rolls her eyes in disgust* they sing 'second chance' for radio hoppers.
so the guest performances were okay. just a'ight as randy would say. but the cut was brutal and made me sad...
*boo boo lip* allison got cut. and she DID NOT deserve it.
but i'm trying to be optimistic so i don't wanna get into danny gokey. let's just say i really really hate him and really liked allison. idol performances were awesome but idol results were strange.
*poses victoriously* my homeschooling is going well, though!
GLEE! by the way, i think i'm gonna pick up watching glee. anyone else? anyway, victoria was really nice to me last thursday and friday but when i saw her again on monday she was back to being crazy and bitchy. and today she told me my headband was stupid.
*squeals like a wounded puppy* i had a headband in that queemo way on today...
but vanessa (her sister) was really nice to me the whole time. yay! i'm pretty sure i'm her idol because she follows me most places and picks up my catchphrases and such.
*Church lady face* I'm not just flattering myself.
i've been working a lot at a little local theater here so i've been kind of busting my butt all week. i'm pretty tired at this point. mebs. one of the theater classes i'm taking in run by that place so i'm acting there. i was in their summer camp which was... interesting...
*poses glamorously* i was in their production of Les Miserables.
er... the part i got is unimportant. i'm just happy to have it on my resume, you know? needless to say, i like acting. but i'm kinda a bad singer. i'm not TERRIBLE (i hope) but i'm by no means good.
*nodding, proud of herself* but seriously, i was sick when i auditioned for les miserables so i've kinda been telling myself that's why i got such a minor part.
gadzooks! look at the time! i better wrap things up! er... make shift!
*opening a letter like on the oscars, looking more nervous than usual* the must watch-see-hear goes to...
the bride wars! yesh, me and LP ordered it on netflix because she wanted to see it. i really didn't think i'd like it but it was coolio. plus bryan greenburg from one tree hill was in it so the first we saw him on screen i was like "it's jake!!" haha. it was fun anyway. we ended up throwing popcorn at each other and i got to wear my muffin pjs!!
*totoro smile* yes, i have pajamas with chibi muffins on them. be jealous...
so maybe it's just the good memories i made with lily-pagan by watching it but kate hudson rawks. so i would recommend it to anyone.
*uncle sam point* even you!
so anywho, i better skidaddle. i hope all of you are doing well! ta-ta for now! i'll post again soon!
*shifty eyes* or at least i'll try to...

live, love, nevershoutnever!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

hello again guys! another sorry stretch that i didn't post...
*melancholy sigh* so sad...
well things have actually started picking up around here so let's get the weather report out of the way...
*wearing a weatherman coat* currently, it is 47 degrees and cloudy in luray. hometown of anastasia zigantai.
yesh, i DID just refer to myself in third person!
*clears her throat* anyway... let's focus here!
yes, let's focus on what's really important here!
*excited squeal* idol night!
so let's get the business! it was disco night and admittedly i really hate disco and was a little pissed about the theme but it actually turned about pretty smoking hot!
*nodding, proud of herself* yes, i will admit i was wrong.
i won't give any lily-pagan like full idol report but all in all, kris was magnificent, allison was spectacular and adam was glorious.
*puts on her matt hat* but the biggest props?
matt giraud's "stayin' alive!" it was JT-fabulous! no, i'm not kidding i was like "justin timberlake? is that you??" but NO it was matt!
*cheesy smile* which is a good thing since i like matt a lot more than justin timberlake...
then of course the results show was tonight. i was kind of confident that all my favorites would stay so it was all good there but let me tell you...
*shivers* just the memory...
the creepy "disco legends" medley made me wanna look away and mute the TV! i don't understand why they bring back these walking corpse singers to sing on idol! they just make fools of themselves!
*fake crying* whoa is me! so sad!
but i was totally in love with the disco collaboration that paula choreographed! oh my gawd, it was awesome! at first when they all came out all i could think was "WHOA!! that shirt is NOT staying on adam!" because it was falling off the guy but then i got distracted...
*drooling* kris allen's pimp outfit...
F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! he looked really good in it! so pimping, but good. and they all had to wear big sunglasses which was really funny! all and all, this was a major season 8 highlight.
*jumping up and down* and i saw my bromance boys kris and matt doing loads of bromantic fun stuff!
of course, i'm sure LP started getting annoyed when i started pointing out whenever kradam was on stage together being cute.
*evil smile* maybe i didn't mention, but know i'm obsessed with kris and adam as a pairing!
see? i wasn't lying when i said i make way more gay pairings then straight! but let's get onto another idol highlight...
*fist pump* ANOOP WAS SENT HOME WHERE HE BELONGS!!!
yessss!! i was so happy! i started clapping and i was like "yes! buh-bye anoop!" so sorry to any anoop fans but i was ECSTATIC.
*coughs a few times* okay, let's just move past idol and try to avoid me getting really hyper over kris's pimp outfit...
LP and me have been really dropping the ball on box of chocolates because we should've posted like two weeks ago but we've been busy...
*pish posh hand wave* but i guess that's what everyone says...
so anyway, i'm a little depressed that my last post only got 3 comments...
*shrugs* but that's pretty good so whatever.
seriously, i love getting comments so i always try to comment on my friends blogs and other blogs i like.
*winks* it's karma!
oh my goose! i have the bestest story!
*flapping her hands at nothing* oh my gosh! i can't believe it!
so here i am, bored as hell. so i decide that i'm gonna check nathaniel's myspace just to make sure he's doing ok. (nathaniel + anastasia forever, right DCas?) so i was loading the page... but then...
*chibi look of shock* it had the little "online now" blurb!
so i was like "zomg!! nathaniel's on his myspace right now!!" i was so freaking out!
*slumps in a doomed way* but alas and alack...
when i texted lily-pagan to tell her that he was online she was like "did you take a picture of the screen??" and i was no "NO!!!" so i went back to his myspace page but by then he was offline...
*crying, reaching at the screen* nooooo!! nathaniel!
but wait! there's more! so i go back on his myspace the next night and... lucky day! he was online! and i was like "i am NOT missing this!" and CLICK! now i have a screencap proving that i was indeed on his myspace at the same time as him!
*makes a heart with her hands* and he uploaded more pictures! splee!
speaking of me and nathaniel, i could really afford to post on bohemian rhapsody, too.
*nervously rubbing the back of her head* all in good time...?
so anywho, i started taking a bunch of classes at different outlets for homeschoolers. i was supposed to go to web design yesterday, but i'm considering dropping the class.
*picks up a scroll, reading it* i currently take a class on web design, theater, social justice, creative writing, and more theater. well then i have around the world cooking club and apples to apples club so there's always that...
it's not that many classes, really. but it certainly keeps me busy. i have theater on most days and i take two creative writing classes. busy, busy...
*looks apologetic* see? i really am busy!
but let's get back to classes. there's this girl who's convinced we're friends but really all she does is slap me around and diss me but i can't mouth off with her because she's off medication for absolutely no reason!
*cold wind blows by* crazy victoria...
but worst of all, she's obsessed with adam lambert! you don't know how hard it is to like him when every 6 seconds victoria's like "oh my gawd!! adam!!" she seriously reminds me of tatiana de toro...
*comparing the two in her mind* wouldn't you say, LP?
LP, too, has the misfortune of being victimized by crazy victoria. and believe me, we really really try to avoid her.
*shivers* she has like anastasia radar, i swear...
but all that aside, i have a bunch of classes with nicole, lily-pagan, jayk and dana (my primary people!) which is shweet.
and i'm still feeling empty since there was no dollhouse last friday due to prison break!
*angry mob going after cast of prison break* damn you, prison break!
but dollhouse will be back on friday. yay!
*looks deep in thought* so what else is there to talk about...?
well, i've got nothing else to say and i've surely rambled long enough to keep you satisfied! time for the must watch-see-hear!
*drum roll, opening a letter like on the Oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
Purple Banditos! a blog by my gurlie, DCas!! it's only two chapters in but it's promising for real! and DCas is amazing! don't forget to tell her that!
*smiles brightly* smile Devin Caster! we love you!
so yesh, that's about all... check out that blog soon, you won't be sorry!
*Logan Jay/Kris point* hell yesh, i'm advertising you, D!
hope everyone's doing okay and feel free to comment! i lurv comments, remember that!
*victorious pose* let the good times roll!!

live, love, lady gaga
anastasia<3:)

PS: look forward to a special edition post about me and LP's homeschooling group on Anastasia and Lily-Pagan's Box of Chocolates! coming soon!
PSS: first post i've ended with an action. shweet.
PSSS: sorry i made a blog-o! i had to post this twice...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

hey! i'm posting again and it hasn't been a million years!
*puts on her pimp glasses, nods* yesh, i want my props now.
well, this time i actually have stuff to say so let's get the luray weather report out of the way...
*wearing a weatherman coat* currently it is 38 degrees and cloudy here in luray, virginia.
yesh, the weather has been pretty decent lately.
*staring up at the stars* ah... stars still make me think of all time low...
so as you may know... tonight was idol night which 1) means that LP got to come over and watch idol on my hidef and 2) i got to watch the most amazing show ever!
*cocks her head to the side* well dollhouse dominates my thoughts, too...
anyway! songs from the year you were born, eh? it was... alright.
*raincloud overhead* yeah... just "alright."
well the first 5 were danny gokey, kris allen, lil rounds, anoop desai (*hiss*) and scott macintyre.
*boo boo lip* and it was seriously a major drag...
don't get me wrong, i love kris, and he was good (win, win) but seriously...
*rainbow off in the distance* and then the good stuff came!
allison iraheta, matt giruad and adam lambert. no sheeyit, the other 5 were like the opening act for these three.
*holding up letters on poster board* A-M-A-Z-I-N-G amazing!
finally the judges actually said something to allison about her voice and not that she dresses crazy...
*shaking her head* the judges just don't understand scene or emo...
but tonight was good, all in all. still want anoop sent home. but what else is now?
*tapping her chin, thinking* hmm... what else?
oh yes! you know, i realized that it's been 4 or 5 posts since i talked about nathaniel!
*gasps* shocking!
but yes. i'm still following his road to stardom with admiration...
*dreamy sigh* oh nathaniel...
according to his myspace [my personal heaven] he moved to vermont and is saving money to move to new york city or LA!
*eyes sparkle* how bohemian rhapsody of him!
and he just added A LOT more pictures to his myspace which is awesome for me x]
*points up* you see? that's HIM in the post pic!
so for anyone who didn't know, i used nathaniel to play matt in bohemian rhapsody one of my other blogs!
*big smile* yeah, all of the people that follow that blog say they like the chemistry between maria and matt. score!
nathaniel is probably my number 1 musical inspiration. yesh, he's amazing.
*salesman smile* check out bohemian rhapsody if you can!
so anyway, LP and me finally made our together blog!
*winks* shout out to DCas, our first follower!!
and you can check it out here. we make a pretty commercial dynamic so i'm hoping we make a good blogging duo.
*clapping her hands, proud of herself* it's still sort of a work in progress, though...
so anyhow. only a few people may remember this...
*eyes widen, gasps* zomg i mentioned it in my 7th post on december 7th, 2008...
so yeah. there's this girl named isabelle in my homeschooling group [yesh, i'm homeschooled] who is the most adorable thing i've ever seen!
*kicking the dirt* sorry, i dunno if she'd want her picture being put up here...
but you'll just have to believe me. so anyway, isabelle is my current crush. yes, i still think crushes are naive but i can't help it.
*blushes, toothy smile* sorry if it makes anyone uncomfortable, but i'm bi.
so isabelle's birthday is friday so i'm making her cookies and buying her a stuffed animal [she likes those sorts of things] and giving it to her as a birthday present.
*nodding, proud of herself* yeah, i'm a good crush.
but the weirdest and most awkward thing is... i'm 16. she's 13. well, she's turning 14 but she's still so young and pure. it makes me feel a lot older...
*hangs her head* but the worst part has to be...
she's straight. yes, my girl crush [isabelle] is straight and my guy crush [nathaniel] is gay.
*hits her head on her desk* wow, am i lucky or what?
i'm still counting on meeting nathaniel someday and hopefully someday soon! now that the idol craziness is calming down, his fan girls are dropping like flies but NO! i'm still loyal!
*imitating nathan scott of one tree hill* always and forever.
well, well. i think i've babbled long enough. time to wrap things up with anastasia's must watch-see-hear!
*opening a letter like on the oscars* and the watch-see-hear goes to...
maybe i'm dreaming! an album from little known owl city! yesh, they are awesome!
*sexy actor glasses fwip with her queemo glasses* and this time, you seriously should try them out. i'm not kidding.
wish me luck this upcoming week! i hope everyone's doing ok! ciao x]

live, love, breathe carolina
anastasia<3:)

PS: just something to ponder, but do i use the "nodding, proud of herself" action every post??

~*~*~*~*~

sorry, i'm being a slacker about blogging...
*looks sad* it's almost been a week since my last post!
and i'd be lying if i said i was busy i've just been majorly procrastinating because i have nothing to say!
*looks hopeful* nevertheless! i'll find something to say!
so let's start with the weather. ah, yes... the weather.
*wearing a weatherman outfit* it's currently 57 degrees and cloudy here in luray.
you know what occurred to me lately? when i just say "here in luray" it probably means nothing to you guys!
*loading a gun* but don't any cyber stalkers get cocky!
luray is a small-ish town outside of virginia beach. i live close to the beach so when i weather's nice, i go to the beach a lot.
*flapping her hands* yeah, i love it here!
so anyway. recently one of things i've been talking about is me and LP making a blog together.
*nodding, proud of herself* umhm. good news there.
we've officially decided to do it! i'm in the middle of actually making the blog but i'll post a link on my sidebar as soon as i have it done!
*shrugs* besides, LP is over so often it's easy for us.
IN FACT! i can see lily-pagan right now!
*waving* hiya, lily-pagan!
yeah, we live really close by. we're not neighbors or anything but i can walk to her house pretty effortlessly.
*fan girl hearts overhead* yeah, life is sweet.
she's watching some of my terminator: the sarah connor chronicles DVDs because she thinks thomas dekker (the guy who plays john connor in that) is hot.
*laughs* but she has a weak stomach so she probably won't be able to handle them melting terminators and stuff...
ah well. so anyway, i added some new stuff to my mixpod!
*listening to mixpod, absentmindedly bobbing her head* yeah, i'm obsessed with it.
i added a bunch more owl city, a couple more evanesance songs, a sarah mclaughlin song, and another all time low song.
*listening to fuzzy blue lights* yeah, i LOVE owl city!
not that i think any of you listen to my mixpod anyway... ah well. it's the thought that counts!
*long silence* you know, i have absolutely nothing to say...
oh yeah! you know what REALLY pushes my buttons?? how apparently every "i'm hopelessly in love with some guy and he doesn't notice wah wah wah" story adopts love story by taylor swift as it's "song!"
*fake crying* don't you love me?? it's a love story baby just say yes!
as if that song wasn't obnoxious enough when i was just every 3rd song on the radio now everyone dubs it to some freaky crush of theirs!
*glares* ok, nathaniel and i DON'T have a song so i have no sympathy!
i never really understood giving people and relationships "songs." i mean, what if you really like a song, you tell yourself that it's you and your boyfriends song, and then you break up? you basically just ruined a song...
*sighs, anxiously tapping her fingers* alright, now i'm out of stuff to say...
urm... what can i say? life is boring!
*light bulb overhead* oh yeah!
baseball season started today!
*terminator sunglasses* bet'cha didn't know i was a baseball fan, huh?
well i am. i like the red sox! there's not a team in virginia and the closest one to me is the nationals who totally suck so this time i'm a front runner.
*sticks out her tongue* but wait! there's more!
i actually made a gay pairing out of two of the red sox. you know, it takes a truly gay loving person to do that.
*makes a heart with her hands* jacoby ellsbury and dustin pedroia.
yesh. they are awesome and very heterosexual. but then again, i pair straight guys all the time.
*using binoculars* so i'll be watching for ducoby encounters!
ok, now i'll get the post picture. last year i really wanted to go see the red hot chili peppers on tour because they were in virginia, not too far from luray.
*chibbi sweat drop* but when i asked my mom if i could go...
she of course said no. now, for anyone who doesn't know about the red hot chili peppers this may sound surprising...
*evil smile* anthony keidis (lead singer) is famous from exposing his junk on stage.
so needless to say, i never got to see them live. but why do i mention this story?
*Logan Jay point* it's good, real good.
i'm totally waiting for adam lambert to expose his goodies live on american idol!
*waving her hands* no no no! it's not that i want to see his goodies!
it's more just that i'm expecting him to do so which would be HILARIOUS!
*bites her finger, wrinkles her nose* and some 16 year old girl part of me kind of looks forward to that...
ok! now on that uncomfortable note, it's time for the must watch-see-hear!
*opening a letter like on the oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
dog tags! yes, another movie about gay guys. but i LOVE gay guys and the story is really nice.
*squeals, then covers her mouth* ok. this will only make sense to LP i warn you now...
the leading character is "sexually confused" NATE who goes off to the military and meets reckless and carefree andy.
*fake gasp* yeah, hot gay guys in the military. it's groundbreaking!
but there's this underlying plot about nate's dad and his own identity which i pretty interesting...
*winks* nate and andy are a lot like stray dogs, hence the movie's name "dog tags"
but seriously, it's GOOD. go out and order it from netflix!
*clears her throat* but it's NOT a homophobic's movie, believe me.
so that's all for now. since i didn't say much relevant in this post, you should be seeing another post soon!
*clapping* and me and LP's blog should be done and have it's first post up soon!
gotta go watch dollhouse off my DVR! toodles!

live, love, the cab

PS: DCas you need to post on your blog and fix the comments for me! lol

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

do you think it's a little sad the a 16 year old girl is sitting at home on a saturday night with NOTHING to do?
*hair flip, sparkles come out* and i'm not just ANY 16 year old!
but seriously. i have nothing to do...
*shrugs* except post here, i guess
nah, i love you guys. lots of love to my followers and any other regular readers x]
*thumbs up* bracket smilies are the new frontier!
so now i will tell you the luray weather report brought to you by anastasia!
*tapping papers on a desk, wearing a weatherman suit* currently there is a thunderstorm and i'm praying that the power doesn't go out and kill my post.
lol yeah, i just have to update you on the weather.
*gears ticking* i guess i have a few regular subjects. the luray weather and the must watch-see-hear... hm.
so i have recently discovered that there's only ONE THING that can take my mind completely off american idol.
*gasps* really? what?
DOLLHOUSE! it's the coolest show ever!!
*chibbi sweat drop* no, i'm not kidding. ask LP, i'm really obsessed...
does anybody watch it? if not you should.
*clears her throat* well, it WAS my last must watch-see-hear...
my favorites on the show are...

VICTOR (Enver Djokaj)

Victor is one of the dolls (and by far the best doll!) opposite Echo (Eliza Dushku) and Sierra (Dichen Lachman). but he's still the best doll. in the first few episodes they don't say he's a doll, instead he's targeted by Ballard to find out more about the dollhouse as Lubov. it was a majorly cool plot twist when it turned out he was a doll. i think he's kinda cute and i adore his accent! also, victor and sierra made my list of pairings on my last post. they're so cute. the doll love is so sweet and pure.

~*~*~*~

TOPHER BRINK (Fran Kranz)

Topher is the guy who imprints the dolls with their personalities for the engagements. he's some sort of genius and works for the dollhouse. he's super funny! the episode 'gray hour' he's soooooo hilarious! you see, victor has a... man reaction to sierra but the dolls aren't supposed to have hormones and stuff. he tells dr. claire saunders and while she's interested and wants to go back through the shower tapes, topher is discomforted and off put by the whole thing. lol he's so funny! i love topher <3

~*~*~*~

AGENT PAUL BALLARD (Tohmoh Penikett)

he's an agent trying to find out more about the dollhouse. although his investigation costs him his marriage, the trust of the people he works with and ultimately gets him suspended, he continues to look for answers about the dollhouse. his cute, mousy, crushed out neighbor, Mellie, ultimately has a relationship with him but after she's almost killed, she blames Ballard and skips town. but before she leaves town, she tells Ballard to leave the dollhouse case alone. of course, Mellie is actually a doll, too so... i wouldn't trust her. but Ballard and Mellie are very cute together. and Ballard's a bad ass which i LOVE lol

~*~*~*~

*panting* yeah, well that's all i've got to say about dollhouse...
for now that is lol.
*claps her hands together* oh yeah! you know what?
LP and i are contemplating making a blog together! i think it would be fun...
*uncle sam points* what do YOU think??
most of my followers also follow LP's blog so... just wondering!
*tapping her chin* hmm... well i can't think of much else to say...
oh yeah! i wanted to shout out to LP, DCas, and Yeirka (hope i spelled your name right! eek!) for following Bohemian Rhapsody (my online story)
*confetti falls* thanks guys!!
my writing is actually usually a lot more bloody and depressing. but i thought i try my hand a teen love story!
*Terminator glasses* but will Matt and Maria get together? you'll NEVER know...
until i write more of the story that is... ah well
*brushing her hands together to get the dust off* well, time to wrap things up with the must watch-see-hear...
damn, i already used dollhouse... well... lemme think...
*holds up a sign that says "PLEASE HOLD", time passes*
ok, sorry!
*opening a letter like on the Oscars* and the must watch-see-hear goes to...
a lesson in romantics! an album from mayday parade (post title is lyrics from 'jamie all over' an awesome song by them)
*winks* so go check some songs out on iTunes! or just surf through my mixpod until you see 'jamie all over' or 'miserable at best'!
thanks for reading everyone! i'll try and post again REAL soon x]

live, love, vampire weekend
anastasia<3:)

PS: i still can't comment on your blog, DCas! sorry for the lack of comments! :[
PSS: i posted a link to my online story on my side bar for anyone interested! also, my email address is on my sidebar if anybody wants to drop me a fan mail x] lol

hello again! well after saying i was gonna try to be a better blogger, it's been almost a whole WEEK since i posted...
*rain cloud overhead* that's a little depressing...
ah well. i usually inform you guys on the weather here in luray.
*wearing a weatherman outfit* well right now it's 36 degrees and cloudy in luray, virginia
don't ask me why i always inform you about whatever the weather is like here...
*clears her throat* wow now i remember why i haven't posted in so long!
it's so boring here! it's like night of the living dead...
*big sigh* ah well...
well i still have to be a good blogger so let's talk about the only thing i know!
*rolls her eyes* umhm, you probably guessed it...
american idol. tomorrow is the beginning of mowtown week. did i mention i HATE it when they do all that non-current stuff?? it's not only non-current, it's like to 60s!
*zombies walking around outside* hello idol! this is 2009!
i mean, nevertheless adam will probably be amazing but they'll talk up danny gokey anyway...
*eye twitches* danny is good but the judges endlessly kissing his butt it starting to really bother me...
no offense to all you danny gokey fans! he's just not my cup of tea.
*counting with her head* well it's not that i don't like him... forget it!
maybe it's just because i know the finale will be danny gokey and adam lambert...
*flapping her arms* i love adam more than is good for me!
anyway, i think it's time we move past american idol. at least for a moment or two...
*evil laugh* mwah ha ha!
oh jeez, what do i have to talk about other than idol?
*pacing around* let's see... what's new... *light bulb lights* oh yeah!
i started an online book for no other reason than LP and DCas (that's my new nickname for devin caster!) believe in me!
*nodding proud of herself* but don't get too excited. i haven't posted anything yet...
so anyway, here's a quick introduction. it's called bohemian rhapsody. it's about best friends named maria and matt who both want to be singers but live in a small town. so inspired by singer emmi jules road to stardom, matt decides that he wants to run away with maria to new york city so they can have a better chance of being discovered. maria's unsure about the plan but after she gets in a fight with her parents she calls matt up, crying, and agrees to go with him. matt drives to her house in the middle of the night and maria sneaks out meet him, her bags in tow. they then run away to new york city together where they share a small apartment. and this is only the beginning!
*kicking at the ground* yeah, it's pretty teeny bopper...
but i'll try to fill it out more in the writing, really!
*giggles* but the best part is...
the two main characters, maria and matt are played by me and nathaniel marshall!
*winks* you haven't heard the last from nanastasia!
yes, i'm really a good little fan girl.
*halo overhead* i'm still starstruck by nathaniel...
hey! as long as i've got nothing to say let's cover some of my new pairings!

BRENDON URIE & RYAN ROSS: one of the coolest gay pairing ever. seriously. love panic, love gay guys. it's a win win.

SPIKE & DRUSCILLA: from buffy the vampire slayer. they're so cute! lol i love spike! and druscilla is so cute when she does her puppy dog whine!

LUCAS SCOTT & HALEY JAMES SCOTT: from one tree hill. i wanted them to be a pairing since before she married nathan. but seriously they would be hawt.

VICTOR & SIERRA: from dollhouse which i'm now completely obsessed with! the adorable doll love is so cute and pure!

NATE BATEMAN & PENELOPE: lol you're not supposed to know what it means unless you're LP. ain't it true, lily??

well sounds like it's about time for the must watch-see-hear.
*drumroll, opening a letter like on the Oscars* and the watch-see-hear goes to...
dollhouse friday nights on FOX! yup, it's the new Joss Whedon show but it's simply amazing! and you have to see victor and sierra!
*eating berry berry kix* hot damn, i think i've got the munchies... *clears her throat* anyway...
that's all for now! check out bohemian rhapsody if you'd like!
*terminator sunglasses* i'll post a link when i actually write a chapter.
vote for adam tomorrow! lol, nah i'm only kidding.
*pish posh hand wave* i don't wanna sound like i'm hawking him on my blog.
don't stop believing! hope all my followers are doing ok! ciao XD

live, love, cute is what we aim for

Famous People Born Today: 1932 John Updike, 1963 Vanessa Williams, 1970 Queen Latifah, 1972 Dane Cook

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

first of all i just wanted to say happy birthday to Queen Latifah and Dane Cook!
*confetti falls* happy birthday!
they're two of my greatest idol's ever! they're truly and undoubtedly awesome!
*nodding, proud of herself* yeah, they're just too cool.
so anywhosle, tonight was the american idol results show but let us first back track to last nights performance show.
*winces* i can only imagine what you're about to say...
adam lambert's nine inch nails 'ring of fire'
*tapping her chin* hmmm...
i thought it was... overwhelmingly, unbelievably, one might even say surreally sexy!!
*fanning herself* did anyone just feel a heat wave?
my mom actually had to look away it was so uncomfortable and she described it as "the sountrack to dirty sex."
*laughs, blushes* love you mom.
but seriously i can't wait until there's a studio version download-able version on iTunes!
*wearing bad ass sunglasses* 'ring of fire' meet iPod...
oh yeah. allison totally sold out of the rocker girl vibe! i wanted her to paramore-up some country classic honestly...
*shaking her head disapprovingly* ah, allison...
and finally... matt giraud won me over and i have to say he's dueling for my second favorite with kris allen. it's not that i didn't used to like matt giraud but i never really noticed how good and andrew macmahon-ish he was!
*fan girl heart overhead* maybe you remember maybe not, but i'm smitten with andrew macmahon...
now onto results night. first of all, i'd like to congratulate adam and danny gokey for keeping their pelvises to themselves.
*sticks out her tongue* although i can't and won't deny i love it when adam goes off the family show chart.
the group performance was ok, brad paisley looks disturbingly like woody from toy story, carrie underwood had an ugly dress, randy travis looks like my uncle tom...
*light bulb lights* speaking of randy travis!
i absolutely loved the way he interacted with adam! you could TASTE the homophobia!
*clears her throat, stacks papers* getting back to results night...
i was SHOCKED that alexis grace went home! and i was MORE shocked when they didn't save her!
*internal thought gears ticking* you know, for such a cute girl, her fiance isn't very cute at all... love is blind i guess...
well, i still can't wait for anoop desai to go home. i hate him...
*growls, twitching* that AND they kept showing commercials for Twilight during Idol!
no let's look past american idol onto the rest of my life...
*frozen in the wind* but the saddest part is...
when i couldn't think of anything to say i opened a new tab in FireFox to see if nathaniel had been on his myspace today.
*blushes* he WAS by the way...
ANYWAY, let me ask you all something... a few posts ago i mentioned writing an online story. but no one really responded (except LP and d. caster of course!) so if any one thinks i should or shouldn't start blogging a story on the side leave me a crayon!
*glares* and i MEAN IT.
one more thing before i wrap things up with the must watch-see-hear...
*chibbi flapping* umhm! get ready!
some of you probably noticed what i call my uber mixpod on my sidebar. i spent HOURS on that thing and all in all, it has 130 songs. i probably could've thought of more but oui. no big thang.
*smiles, rainbow forms overhead* well, what's an amateur music blogger without her music??
so let's cut to the watch-see-hear and wrap things up...
*drum roll, opening a letter like on the academy awards* and the watch-see-hear goes to...
Want (an album by 3oh3)!! i just heard a few more songs by them and i like all of them! listen to their album! they're AWESOME.
*hair flip, sparkles come out* and i should know a thing or two about awesome...
lol! just kidding!
*twirls around* 14 followers = BLISS
well ta ta for now! i'll hopefully post again VERY soon. blogging rawks big time.

live, love, hellogoodbye
anastasia<3:)

PS: is Simon Cowell increasingly pissing anyone else off?! he's WAY too self indulgent :P
PSS: don't forget about leaving me crayon for advice on the writing!
PSSS: thanks to everyone who agreed that adam lambert has nothing in common with edward cullen OR joe jonas! represent! adam rocks! edward and joe jonas SUCK!

I love you and I miss you, what else can I say?

two days in a row that i posted. whoa. when's the last time that happened?
*cocks her head to the side* well it was december 7th followed by december 8th
but anywho it's been a LONG time.
*nodding* right? right.
well, tonight was idol night and lily-pagan came over. nothing new.
*suspense* until...
the group performance. DUN DUN DUN!!
*heavy sighs* admittedly boring since they didn't do Thriller...
but oh my effin gawd did you see danny gokey?? "hi, i'm danny gokey! here's my pelvis!" zomg! whoa!
*snaps the back of danny gokey's hand with a ruler* and adam didn't thrust AT ALL so you've got no excuse, mr. gokey!
speaking of adam, he was very very cute and also underplayed. they didn't show as much of him as i thought they would considering he's a judge favorite AND a fan favorite.
*covering her ears* hot dayumm! did you see the way they screamed when they showed him??
he has an enormous fan following and will certainly make it to the top 2 if not win it all!
*chibbi flap* love you, adam! you're gonna go far, kid!
but good things never last. kelly clarkson performed. have i told you all this? i REALLY (x forever) hate her! and i really hate that song! sure it's dancey and all but seriously, i'm so sick of it!
*looks apologetic* sorry all you kelly fans...
and anoop desai was safe. did i mention? i really hate him too. i was like "save the magic puerto rican man!" but noooooo anoop was safe after a horendous version of 'beat it" i mean really it was like a drunken phrat party performance.
*glares at anoop* but that's probably the best he's got...
hate anoop. hate kelly clarkson. hated idol's results tonight. bam.
*sitting in a rocking chair, holding a pipe* lemme tell you youngin's a story
my mom had to make a run to Tops to get bread for dinner but i really love our car so i went along.
*smiles, winks* we have XM radio.
so my mom ran in to get the bread and i stayed in the car. so i turned to my second favorite channel on the XM, channel 47, altnation.
*sunglasses on, spinning ritz* it plays good music.
and 'ghost town' by shiny toy guns came on. i had never heard the song but i was bored so i listening to it. and you know what? i'm HOOKED!!
*points up* the picture at the top is them.
when i got home i bought it from iTunes and put it on my iPod. love that song!
*dancing* we are living in a ghost town!
also on my loop of songs on my iPod i recently got hooked on is 'far more' by the honorary title. i've had it on my iPod for awhile but i'm seriously in love with it know.
*points up again* the title of the post is lyrics from that song.
plus the honorary title was on one tree hill and they sang that song. way coolio.
*light bulb lights* Also!
i just started season 5 of OTH (i know it's been awhile since i talked about THAT!) and so far so good.
*fake crying* i'm still mourning the loss of chris keller...
but i LOVE the character Mia! she's way cool.
*waving a flag with kate voegele on it* yay mia!
and before i forget this posts must watch-see-hear is...
*drum roll, opening a letter like on the oscars* the watch-see-hear goes to...
Like A Brother!
*nodding* yup, more hot gay guy movies.
but in parts of the movie the main character zack seriously reminds me of adam lambert. not visually! but a little bit character wise.
*scoffs* he's was more like zack than edward cullen!
well that's all i've got to say for now. ciao!

live, love, hey monday

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

it's 48 degrees outside and still raining...
*looking out the window at the rain* hmm...
i have basically nothing to post about.
*dim light bulb overhead* oh yeah!
american idol is tonight. but it all seems rather dreary without nathaniel...
*nodding* yeah, i call him by first name. deep stuff, right?
but as always, i'm still cheering for adam lambert.
*lethargically waving a flag* whoo... hoo...
rainy days always bring me down. usually i would go outside and dance in the rain but i'm just not feeling up to it...
*heavy sighs* so much for that i guess...
since i have basically nothing to say i'll bombard you with my random thoughts.
*fake smile* fun, right?
let me tell you something. i have a can of crushed pineapple under my desk. i have no idea how long it's been there but i use it to scratch my feet.
*yawn* wow. freak.
last time i felt like this was shortly after i posted my last post. but devin caster helped cheer me up a lot and made it onto my list of my favorite bloggers.
*thumbs up* you rawk, devin caster!
but still, things have been boring and dreary as hell here. i wanted to go see coraline with LP but we went to hot topic instead.
*smiles for a minute* well, i do love hot topic.
i got a mayday parade graphic tee, an AFI graphic tee and...
*sniff* wait for it...
sunglasses that look like the ones that nathaniel has.
*looks down* yeah, i love them.
to try to cheer me up LP put them on and started imitating him but it proved to just remind of how much i wanted him to make the top 13 (i guess) and he didn't.
*half hearted smile* thanks for trying, LP.
oh yeah! here's a pretty funny story.
*chibbi flap* but first lemme tell you sumin.
LP doesn't like mayonnaise. so she eats tuna without any mayonnaise in it. and usually straight out of the can.
*blushes* hope i didn't embarrass you, lily!
so she was opening the can of tuna and babbling about how catwoman had the right idea (in the catwoman movie with Hallie Berry she eats tuna right out of the can) and she was ignoring me.
*light bulb lights* so then i had the strangest idea.
i put on my nathaniel glasses and laid on the floor and starting meowing.
*winks* and i do a killer meow!
she didn't understand what i wanted but after some incessant meowing, she gave me some tuna.
*laughs* yes, this is my life.
well that's all i've got to say for now.
*snaps* not again.
i forgot my watch-see-hear! well...
*drum roll* i guess it's...
catwoman! yeah! you have to see her eat the tuna!
*sighs* well that's REALLY all i've got.
ta-ta for now. hope it stops raining.

live, love, funeral for a friend

i've come to know that the more you know, the more you wish you didn't.
*looking out the window, raining, sighs* so true...
at least it's above freezing here. last time i checked it was 33 degrees.
*clears her throat* but seriously, not the point.
the point is that nathaniel marshall goes tonight on american idol.
*looks confused* but i thought that was a GOOD thing!
well i think he'll do well but here's the thing. i was searching for articles and stuff about him on google and i found this really good one.
*thunder outside* well i guess it depends on your definition of good...
he was in the foster care system until he was a teenager. and i've never heard anything GOOD about foster care. so i looked up more about malone, new york. where he lives.
*lightening outside* more bad news...
it's a really small and depressing town in the middle of nowhere! and it's really cold!
*shivers* aw, nathaniel!
so on my nathaniel marshall streak, i watched some american idol on my DVR. and before he goes into the judges mansion he whimpers "i don't wanna go home."
*pish posh hand wave* and i know everyone says that...
but no shit, this kid's life sucks ass!
*blushes* you see...
if it's possible to fall in love with someone you've never met, i seriously need this guy. and he needs american idol.
*coughs* gosh, i've never totally gushed like that...
on the brighter side, i got my own flickr and uploaded a bunch of pictures and stuff.
*claps* yay! (thinking) nathaniel...
so you can visit it here and see all the weird stuff i have pictures of.
*looks slightly embarrassed* mostly adam lambert and nathaniel marshall. dammit, i mentioned nathaniel again!
and for my last topic of this post...
*drum roll* is...
lily-pagan started her own online story.
*nodding* yeah, it's way cool.
but thinking as much as that we're like duel writers, should I start a online story?
*shrugs* i dunno...
i couldn't post that often considering i don't even post often here. but seriously, i like and write and stuff.
*light bulb lights* Or...
anyone who thinks i should or shouldn't please leave a crayon (comment)! i mean seriously, i used to get like 8 crayons a post and now i'm lucky to get 3.
*flapping her arms* crayon me people!
that is...
*blinking rapidly* if you don't want to break my heart.
well that's all i can think of now.
*bird flies in my window with a scroll* wait... oh yeah!
my must watch-see-hear! urm... umm... three day's grace one-x! yeah, that's it! i've been listening to it endlessly! you all should try it out! i even made my pop loving bff LP love it! lol and THATS something.
*bird flies back out* well that's all folks!
stay tuned for nathaniel and adam updates! and remember, crayons and flickr! mwah! toodles!

live, love, the honorary title

ok, for one thing i'm totally mad at everyone who didn't comment! i wanted everybody to vote for a story and i got an all time crayon low! not really.
*raincloud overhead* but seriously, that's depressing.
but it's ok! you wanna know why?!
*business man suit, tightens tie* i'm not sure you do but i'll tell you anyway.
well two things. number 1. adam lambert performs tomorrow! and i have a good feeling the judges like him. so even if he doesn't make it this time, i have a pretty good feeling that they would bring him back for the wild card.
*stomach grumbles loudly* i have a good feeling about him but not so much myself...
i've been feeling really sick since i had dinner. i had pizza. it was good but i'm not sure it would taste so good coming back up...
*coughs* sorry. too much information. i got it.
number 2. me and my friend danielle and i went to go see Fired Up! after an hour or so hanging around the mall. it was sooooo funny!
*watching fired up!, on the floor laughing, movie goer kicks* movie goer: do you mind?
yeah, me and danielle have a habit to be obnoxious in the theater. lol.
*lightbulb overhead* and that's not all!
the two guys, nick brady and shawn colfax seem kinda like the guys me and lily-paga would go out with. nick is mine. shawn is hers. lol.
*clock ticking, deep in thought* i don't think i've ever posted without mentioning LP... oh well.
and there was this HILARIOUS scene where they're on the bus and the cheerleaders are cheering "we are driving, we we are driving!" and then they're at burger king and they're saying "we are eating, we we are eating!" and then they're back on the bus and they're cheering "we are driving, we we are driving again!" and when they arrive they cheer "we are here, we we are here!" then nick and shawn step off the bus and nick says "whoa. i think our bus crashed and we're in heaven..." and shawn says "no. we would've heard we are crashing, we we are crashing." roftlmao!!
*laughs for a solid 5 minutes, coughs* anyway.
needless to say that's this post's...
*confetti falls* anastasia's must watch-see-hear!
i have always liked it, but recently LP and i have gotten into making album artwork for fictional bands. but actually a lot of our writing has bands in it so i made album art for some of them. which was fun.
*snaps newspaper down on desk* but remember!
my computer is really retro so i can't upload my art onto blogger! mebs.
*thinking* which is why i was thinking about making a Flickr account. it's just too handy, you know?
that post was longer than i meant it to be. well in writing. reading it it pretty quick. and in another attack from the retro computer, it won't let me upload the preview for fired up! guess you'll just have to youtube it. sorry.
*angry mob following anastasia* OK, OK, OK!!
here's a link! that better?
*mobs calms down, sighs* phew...
i'll try to post soon! ciao!

while many excitements have happened lately! i got over 200 profiles views!
*confetti falls* yeah baybay!!
and i'm only 2 followers away from having 10 followers!!
*being tossed up and down on a sheet* hell yeah!!
but aside from that, my off blogger life has been mainly uneventful.
*life is sepia* it's sad but oh so true...
and you know, for being called "The Music Journal of Anastasia Zigantai", when's the last time i talked about music?
*slams folded newspaper down* well i've got nothing to say on the subject!
...
*Jim Gaffigan inside voice* then why did she mention it?
so i could write that! i absolutely love jim gaffigan! he's sooooo funny! he has this one sketch called 'Hot Pockets'. don't get me wrong, i love hot pockets. but it's had me laughing my ass off!
*laughing* jim is the MAN!
and i was checking up on blog city and there's a new blog coming off of that called Giggle Fruit.
*points at readers* which may be ridiculously cute but i love it!
the URL is http://gigglefruit.blogspot.com/
*nervously twiddling her thumbs* my computer is kinda retro so it won't let me input links so you'll have the use the good ol' copy and paste.
also, i've decided to add a subject to my posts called...
*flashy lights* Anastasia's Watch-See-Hear!!
today's must watch-see-hear is... Amnesia: The James Brighton Enigma!!
*proud nodding* it's a gay guy movie.
but it's a GOOD movie! gay or not! you can rent it or something...
*sunglasses swipe* but if your homophobic it may not be the best movie for you...
one more thing! i was watching the american idol auditions from my DVR and...
*chibi fan girl flapping* i love adam lambert so freakin' much!!
i was listening to him talk and i just love his voice so much! the way he talks i mean! oh my gosh, i love adam!
*faints* oh adam!
and i have a new contestant on my watch list! nathaniel marshall! he has a bunch of tattoos and 2 lip rings on his bottom lip.
*holding back laughter* but he's such a queen.
so me and LP call him "queemo". because he's an emo queen, get it?
*laughing, coughs* sorry. maybe that wasn't funny...
who am i kidding? of course it was! laugh with me! lmao!!

*nodding* yeah, ok, well anyway...
the had to TAKE MY BLOOD! OMFG! i'm 17 and that's the first time!!
*laughing* what a freakin' pansy
and my mom told me it would hurt but it was the weirdest thing... it felt GOOD.
*jaw drops* freak!
i'm not even kidding! and now i wanna be a phlebotomist when i grow up!
*looking at the calender* that's A LOT of school...
but when people asked what i did for i living i would say...
*Hortio Cane glasses* Anastasia Zigantai: professional vampire.
ha ha ha!! yeah, the glasses are from CSI: Miami. anyone who's seen the show might get it... or not...
*room falls silent* ... anyway.
i kinda love that pic of me. i look kinda evil and kinda sexy all at the same time...
*grabs Jayk's sword* away internet stalkers!
the other day, i was in a weird mood and i was ranting about how there seems to be only two "little people" in hollywood. don't you think?? in my mind, there's only Peter Dinkage and Danny Woodburn. i bet if you look them up on IMBd you'll recognize them from something.
*chibi clock ticking* is there really a little people convention?
and you might remember what i said about twilight... THERE'S NOTHING I HATE MORE!!!
*punching Stephanie Meyer* I hate you!!
while i was trying to make my MixPod i came across a bunch of my songs saying like "Twilight All Fall Down" and "Edward and Bella Goodbye" and i was like TWILIGHT FREAKOES, GET A FREAKIN' LIFE!
*points at everyone* and anyone thinking "i thought she liked vampires" i hate twilight BECAUSE i love vampires!
sorry to all my readers and friends who like twilight! it's nothing personal!
*stacks papers* just one more thing!
i was searching people with similar interests and i found some really cool blogs! you can check them out on the blogs i follow.
*chibi flapping* but i hit a dead zone.
i'm pretty much the only person on blogger who likes a bunch of my favorite movies. i mean come on people! you've gotta put twilight down and watch some more hot gay guy movies! ha ha!

so i finally got the balls to upload a picture of myself.
*nervously shivering* Yea, that took awhile.
me and LP agreed that we would both upload pictures of ourselves to our blogger profiles. so at least i'm not in it alone.
*LP nervously shaking* i can't do it! *chibbi three slaps LP* get it together!
i also realized that i hadn't updated my profile in FOREVER! so now it's updated with a bunch of new interests and such.
*chibbi spin, wearing a tiara* it's well timed with making over the blog!
and now i have 4 followers which is really coolio considering a few days ago i only had LP.
*confetti falls* thanks everyone!!
also lily-pagan's been babbling about the little blog community so i checked it out.
*nodding, proud of herself* yea, i get around...
it's actually cool. for more details go to http://randomchroniclesoflilypagan.blogspot.com and look at the blog archive. it should be under blog city. a few new ones have been added so if you wanna go above and beyond visit http://panamahhigh.blogspot.com for the mother blog of blog city.
*dizzy, falls over* so many links...
also you should look at my sidebar! i added a bunch of cool stuff to it.
*chibbi peace sign* including my current obsession hello kitty!!
yea, i got obsessed with hello kitty. i saw a giant plushie hello kitty that made my love of hello kitty ACHE!
*passes out* whoa is me! if only i could have that plushie!
and the other night i went over to LP's house because i was BORED and we watched Major League (LP really likes baseball movies) which was funny.
*pushes her critic glasses up on her nose* i'd give it 4 stars
Charlie Sheen was FUNNY! but he usually is.
*holds up a stop sign* wait!
just one more thing. on blog city there's this blog called Confessions Of A Broken Heart (http://andrewconfessionsofabrokenheart.blogspot.com) and it's SAD!
*raincloud overhead* he just seems like a really troubled guy...
but you can find out more by following any of those links. blog city (as LP and i call it) has a lot of blogs to offer.
*dancing in a field of daisies* it's fun for the whole family!!

*Shera Lawrence drops a water balloon on Adam Lambert's head* Tee hee!
shera lawrence looks like the kind of clumsy prankster i could enjoy.

LP loves the Jonas Brothers. But I've had mixed feelings about them. It went like this. "Who?" "I love the Jonas Brothers!" "They're so lame ass and over rated!" "I <3 JB!!" "They're pretty cute." And that's where I am now.
*seriously emo people point at me* Sell out!!
It took me awhile to come to the full out emo listening pallet. And The Jonas Brothers are NOT emo!
*LP jumps up and down* JB! JB! JB!
But the Jonas Brothers are pretty cool. And Lily-Pagan is awesome.
*Lily-Pagan rubs her face on the CD* Purrrrr....
So on our last topic of the day, the Disney Channel. All the shows on that channel are so cheezy!
*melted on the couch, watching Hannah Montana* Oh... my... GOD!!
Sometimes I watch it when I have nothing to do. But there's so many lame ass shows on that channel.
*melted on the couch, watching That's So Raven* You can't be serious...
Well that's all for now. Until then, Anastasia's logging out loud!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I mentioned in a post a long time ago that I'm a religious watcher of the CW's Supernatural.
*looking around* Anybody ever heard of it...?
It's about these two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, that hunt demons, and look totally sexxi doing it!!
*fan girl smitten sigh* Haaaa...
They're in their forth season. And I also have seasons 1, 2 and 3 on DVD! Why? Because I love them!!
*rubbing the season 3 box on her face* Winchester brothers...
Sometimes me and LP talk about who's the better CW brothers. Sam and Dean Winchester, or Lucas and Nathan Scott.
*pish posh hand wave* Well it's OBVIOUS isn't it?
I think Sam and Dean, but LP always backs Lucas and Nathan. LP has always had a weak stomach for blood and stuff which Supernatural has a lot of. I dunno how she watches Bones but she can't watch Supernatural or Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (TSCC for short) with me.
*Lily-Pagan's eyes widen* Where's her EYES?!?! *I shrug* They burned out, weren't you watching??
I got her to watch House of Wax with me once but she couldn't sleep for DAYS! But it has Chad Michael Murray and Jared Padalekci in it. AKA Lucas Scott (OTH) and Sam Winchester (Supernatural)!
*Lily Pagan and I both drool* Huba huba...
Another thing. LP and I saw a commercial for that movie The Unborn and we were SURE that the leading female was Daniella Alonso who played Anna Taggaro in season 2 of OTH! But she WASN'T!
*looks utterly shocked* Say WHAT?!?!
But she does look like her...
*sitting facing the wall in the corner with a rain cloud overhead* She does...
Well that's all I have to say for now. And check out my favorite shows posted on the side of the blog!
*excitedly waving* Bye!!

Whoa whoa wubzies! 2009 already... You know what that means? Time for new years resolutions!
*colorful confetti falls* "Yay! Yipee! Wha hoo!" *cheesy game show host smile*
Oh. Ahem, ahem. As you may have noticed i just overhauled this whole freakin' blog! New layout everything! In hopes that this blog might catch your eye more easily!
*rapid blinking* "Pretty colors!" *vapid smile* "Me likey..."
So getting back to what i was trying to say! Resolutions!!

* STOP yelling for no good reason (WHY?!?!)
* STOP throwing temper tantrums every time someone mentions Twilight (but it's DUMB!)
* STOP taking NQuil in the middle of the day (ZzZzZzZz...)
* STOP using inside jokes around people who don't know what they mean (but it's so fun!)
* TRY working on my balance ball more (i love that thing!)
* TRY to watch a comedy (but i love OTH and TSCC!)
* TRY to get New Kids From The Block and Kelly Clarkson dropped from their labels (mya ha ha ha!)
* TRY to clean my room (but clutter = comfort, right??)

And believe me, never bad talk Twilight in front of people who live for it! They totally freak!
*fan girl fanning her face with her hand* "EDWARD!!! MARRY ME EDWARD!!!"
My friend Dawn got soooooo mad and went all Edward fan girl on me when I said it was stupid. But it is!
*Uncle Sam pointing at Dawn* "We'll talk later, misses..."
Well Lily-Pagan has discovered a new obsession. Mario Baseball for Wii! She really kicks my butt but it's fun. Sometimes it's hard to get her off of it though!
*dragging LP out her front door, LP still grasping her Wii remote* "We're going OUT."
And another thing I got totally sick and had to bail on me and Jayk's plans! We were gonna go to the skate park. But i've been on pretty much a DayQuil a day so it's for the best.
*sneezes into tissue* "Thorry, Jayk!" *sneezes into tissue*
Anyway! I've gotta run! Happy 2009 everyone!

Live, Love, Boys Like Girls.

Tennessee & Gabe

2008-12-08T10:11:00.000-08:00

hey readers! i just wanted to let you guys know that i'm going down to tennessee to see my brother gabe! my parents are divorsed and i live with my mom and he lives with dad. i haven't seen gabe in a while thou, so i'm pretty excited abt it. gabe's 3 years older than me, but we were always pretty close growing up. we hav the same birthday which is also cool. so november 14th was always the funest day of the year. christmas is pretty cool, too. lily-pagan met gabe when we still lived together. LP and gabe get along which in convient, definatly. LP is an only child so i think that gabe is a pretty cool thing to her. i donno when's the next time i'll be able to post but, gabe's worth it. oh yea! gabe's girlfriend bailey is really sweet too. she's only a year older than me so we get along. she's really cute and bouncey. her and gabe have been going out for a year. actually november 11th was their 1 year anniversary. congrats babe! (gabe and bailey, babe, get it?)

Straight, Bisexual & Lesbian/Gay

2008-12-07T11:38:00.000-08:00

i've been swaping emails with my friend rose lately. she's bisexual, which i've known for awhile, but i've never thought much abt it. well the other day, she brought me the great news that her crush, hannah, had said yes when she asked her out. so what's the deal? i'm bisexual myself, and i've been crushing on my friend isabelle for the longest time! i just have no way of knowing if she likes girls. she's 14, which is younger than me. when i asked rose how she knew that hannah might be interetsed, she said she just asked if she was lesbian or bisexual. just ask? it's seems easy... but so not. she got lucky thay hannah was interested in her. well lily-pagan is straight so she's never had to worry abt that, but she's good at keeping my secret from isabelle. nicole's trying to help me out, which i apreciate but i figure it's only a matter of time before isabelle connects the dots. uh-oh...

MixPod rox!!

2008-12-06T18:02:00.000-08:00

i just got a MixPod playlist for the blog and i totally love it! it runs really well and is jacked up with all the songs i love! 5 stars for mixpod! i'll hav to teach lily-pagan how to add one to her blog. i see her most days since she only lives a few houses away from me. it's good having friends not to far away. Jayk lives close enough the skateboard but i hate walking... Nicole lives 20 minutes away, thou. so i don't see her as much. Nicole's not much into blogging and neither is Jayk. but as far as i know they read mine.

PS: there's some awesome songs on my mixpod that aren't too well known. check them out if you get time. you might like them ;)

Britney Spears, The Red Sox & 30 Rock

2008-12-06T12:18:00.000-08:00

I totally hate Britney Spears! I always listen to music when I'm blogging but when Britney Spears comes on, I just can't think! All I can think is "womanizer, womanizer, your a woma-womanizer" whenever I hear her! It's hard to blog when the same word is going around in your head over and over... Well anyway, I'm a big Boston Red Sox fan. There's no baseball teams in Virginia so I was pretty much up for grabs. But Boston is a good team so it was an easy choice. Jacoby Ellsbury is my sweet heart <3. The other day me, Lily-Pagan, and my friend Nicole rented season 1 of 30 rock and watched it all in one sitting. Nicole really likes 30 Rock so we agreed to watch it with her. It isn't the kinda thing I would usually watch but it was funny. I loved Kenneth (the dude on the left) the gay nerd. I'm totally convinced that he and Jonathon (Jack's gay assitant) would make a cute couple! Kenathon <3

One Tree Hill <3

2008-12-01T19:49:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone! A few days ago I convinced my friend (Lily-Pagan) to watch One Tree Hill with me just for laughs. Well we bought the season 1 box set and we're TOTALLY hooked! We're only a little more than half way through season 1, but it's totally cute. Last night, we decided to have a One Tree Hill (or OTH for short) marathon and we watched 10 episodes. Well, we just watched the episode 'I Shall Believe' (episode 1.14) and it made her cry! I managed to keep it together but Lucas is my favorite character so it was hard. I know, I know pretty embarassing, rite? But we're both in love with it. I also watch Supernatural (also on CW) which is totally lovely. Other than that, music and skateboarding rules my life. But I always have time to watch some OTH or Supernatural with Lily-Pagan <3

Check it out!
