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

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]

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

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

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
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!
PSS: did anyone else read that story about how gene simmons was a bitch to adam and said he didn't have the chops to sing rock? gene simmons is a bitch! adam was a great voice and he totally sings Kiss better that you, gene simmons!
PSSS: picture of me with the the post. you can see my brown hair! yes, my hair is actually black but you can sometimes see brown lowlights in the sun. x3

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

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!

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

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
PSS: anthony keidis -> LP has to drive lmao (inside joke)

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)
TOPHER BRINK (Fran Kranz)
AGENT PAUL BALLARD (Tohmoh Penikett)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

PS: i still can't comment on your blog, DCas! sorry for the lack of comments! :[

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

Listening To: 'Still Around' by 3oh3
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

PS: is Simon Cowell increasingly pissing anyone else off?! he's WAY too self indulgent :P
