AHEM.

I am bored. Right this second.
Someone needs to remedy this.
First brilliant suggestion gets the really awesome reward of my super fun company for the day.

Holy crap I'm bored. The Super Bowl was FANTASTIC. I mean, the party I went to was amazing; still, it was a bit depressing not to be partying with all of my friends. They had their own things to do, though, so that's to be expected.

Nevertheless, it was a fun game to watch, best game I've seen in awhile. That all being said, I am now BORED. Nothing's going on now, and I have no class tomorrow.

For the first time in a while I feel like my life is where it should be and the people that should be in it are already there. I have been fretting over it a while but I have decided it is not worth my time or tears anymore. And despite what some people think the engagement between Bill and I is not a secret nor was it ever intended to be one. January was a long month as many are aware but those closest to us have known for a while. I am sure that reporter will pop up and tell you other wise but that is how it goes.

Oh! Pansy how is next week for our get together?

I'm having far too much fun in my pick-up rugby team, I may never leave Irvine.

If anyone wants to join us, by the way, we're a very friendly group of lads. Ladies welcome too, of course. We're not overly competitive, we really just play for a bit of fun over at the Irvine campus, since a few of the boys go to school there.

Support Cedric Diggory. The REAL Hogwarts Champion.

Cough cough, hack hack. :(

I cannot be the only one to notice that sometimes things about ourselves tend to "bleed through" from our dreams. Things about our physical appearance even. I can tell when I look in the mirror now. Those familiar with my dream world might wonder how having certain Veela traits is a bad thing, sure it can make you feel good about yourself and beautiful, but it really just makes me feel self conscious most of the time. Even in the magical dream world a lot of things are a double-edged sword.

How is this even fair that I am getting sick again? I just got over the flu, two weeks ago. Mum better make enough soup for two. Both me and the elephant on my chest.

Здравствуйте. Меня зовут Анастасия Николаевна Романова. Существуют ли какие-либо другие русские здесь? Я тоскую по дому. ( ooc: translation )


Hello, my name is Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, but you may call me Anya. I am from Russia. I start classes at university this semester and was told to bid hello here. Please excuse my English, it is not perfect, and I come here to help it be better. I want to be in a doctor's practice when I finish university!

I scheduled my driving test for next week! It is finally time to swap my bus pass for a drivers license. I don't usually mind taking the bus but you meet some odd, creepy, and perverted people. It's actually safer to drive myself every where despite my mum's concern I'll get in an accident.

How are some people never bothered by jet lag? There has to be a tip that actually works. My body and sleep schedule is always off for days when I travel. Not to mention it is supposed to rain nearly the entire trip. Hopefully it lets up a little New Year's Eve, long enough to let off the fireworks.

Seems I missed out on the whole wishing on a star thing but that is okay. I hope everyone got what they wanted. As for me, I already have everything I could ever think to wish for this Christmas. I even got my cast off this morning so I can walk a little bit again. I hope everyone enjoys their holidays. Even though it is premature your New Years too since I will be leaving in a couple days for Paris.

Since it is Christmas, who wants me to bring them back something from Paris when I go? Long as it is reasonable I will do it and we can consider it a late Christmas present.

It is snowing! Our dog is also afraid of it or something. He went outside, stopped, looked confused, then started barking at the snow and when it kept snowing he went to sit by the door. I am enjoying this far more than he is. It reminds me of the many times we went dancing in the show in Russia.

I've woken.

It's weird to say that because I wasn't asleep, but... it sort of feels that way. After the explosions, and the darkness, it seemed like a long, continuous dream, some voices, some louder dreams, but...

A dream, and not one that took a long time. The darkness seemed to last years, and yet moments, at the same time. When I woke in the hospital, I honestly thought I had been out for hours. Instead I lost a week and some change.

And it's weird.

I'll be in here, probably, through Christmas. The likelihood of me getting out before that is low. And, while that doesn't bother me, it's just an odd thing. Previous to last Friday, I was planning on going to shoot simple scenes this week, and then get back to stunts and action this coming week. And now... now it wont be until around the new year before I can do that, really. If not later.

So... I'm awake. And I'm, bored.

Hello, again, Valarnet.

I keep dreaming of this most amazing place... the Prothean Archives on Mars. At least, before Cerberus got there it was amazing So much knowledge, so many discoveries, just waiting for someone to come and decipher it all...

It can't only be archaeologists who get feelings like that, right?

I have to say my favorite part of Christmas in the States is the sapin de Noël or Christmas tree. It is not something that is common in France. It makes me want a big tree! Then I can decorate it and say that I have had one.

Ma Maman also sent me my sabots to put out. Sabots are wooden shoes children leave out in France on Christmas Eve and they get presents in them. It is kind of like American stockings. My sabots was carved by mon grand-papa for ma grand-mère for their first Christmas together. I have a pair for Bill too but I will have to put them up so the dog does not chew them since they are very old.

Let me be the first to say, I HATE cold and flu season. Mum's soup is brilliant but I have things to do, like shopping, instead of being all stuffed up and headache-ish. I also am going shopping tomorrow too. Maybe people will avoid the sneezing awesomeness that I am because they think I'm contagious and I will get done that much sooner.

( That meme-thing )

( Why not. Here's that survey going around. )

7½ inches. That is how much I cut off my hair. I have been considering it for a while and sometimes change is good. There is also only 14 days left until the cast comes off.

( Cut for photo )

I have had the best couple of weeks of my life. I think my girlfriend is a good luck charm.

Has anyone had a mad dream and then woken up and ... been capable of things?

...My hair...

...They took my hair...

I can't...

My shopping is all done. Really. I have Bill's birthday present and all my Christmas presents purchased. Online shopping is fantastic in that sense. It is nice to be done with the holiday stuff already.

Anyone here give music or vocal lessons? Ma mére suggested I find something new to channel my energy into until my cast comes off and I can begin my physical therapy. I think vocal lessons would be the way to go since I have not played the piano in a few years. Then again I have not sang in a while either. Outside Portia, the only one here to hear me sing is my dog and he always just gives me an odd look when I do. I do have a couple videos if I need to prove any capability before I can take a few lessons.

Some lovely flowers were delivered to my shop today!
Unfortunately, they were not for me.

AM I NOT SUPERB? DO I NOT DESERVE FLOWERS? AM I NOT SHAKING MY FIST AT THE HEAVENS FOR NOT BEING WELL LOVED ENOUGH?

WEASLEYS! HONORARY WEASLEYS AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE THAT KNOWS BILL!

Lets have a birthday party Thursday night to celebrate! I'll get the cake, well mum will, and the rest of you bring the presents. No this isn't a surprise party either. My brother is getting old, he can't handle surprises as much any more. We won't risk giving him a heart attack.

What do you lot say?

No Bill, you don't have a choice in the matter. You are actually home for your birthday this time so we should celebrate!

I went to a "death day" party in my dream this morning. Saw a petrified cat. You know, same old same old.

Has anyone seen or heard from Jim Kirk? I've left him about a dozen messages...

I figured out who Gilderoy Lockhart is. He's a dreamboat And I learned how to deal with Cornish Pixies and Mandrakes.

I also learned what the term 'mudblood' means. Thank you for sticking up for me, Ron. These dreams are getting more and more interesting as time goes on.

I just wish I knew where

Is it terrible that I want to go home and see ma maman?

She always knows how to make sense of things, make them alright. I feel bad saying that because everyone has been taking such good care of me, especially my boyfriend. I just want to dance again. Hardly seems fair that my dance career is over before it really started.

I fractured my femur last night during rehearsals. Please do not tell me you are sorry because you have nothing to be sorry for. Also please do not ask me if I am alright. I am tired of everyone asking me that. The surgeon put pins and stuff in it, it is okay. Am I fine with it? Not at all and no, I do not want to talk about it. I just want to go home but they say will not happen until tomorrow night at the earliest.

How likely is it that I can talk a nurse into getting me some ice cream? Ice cream makes everything a little better.

I know the invite is assumed but the extended family is welcome to come to dinner too. It's a four sharp. This means the Potters, Tonks and Hermione. I am setting your places so you better be there or at least let me down gently if you're not coming.

Anyone else that needs a place to go too can come. I will tell my mum you're a long lost friend or something.

Though I've been in the country a while, I haven't celebrated Thanksgiving. Have any of the other Brits participated in Thanksgiving? I don't know if I should cook. I've got four kids, and it's just the five of us. It's a lot of food, especially with Christmas dinner right around the corner.

Opinions? Should I give it a whirl since I live here now? I mean it sounds good.

There is a theory that says the ideal nap is twenty minutes in length; this is because the first two stages of sleep happen in roughly ten minutes each. Therefore you should feel rested after only twenty minutes of napping.

This is complètement not true. Maybe you need to sleep at night for it to work I find I feel almost worse after them.

Dexter's cast came off today. What am I supposed to do with his little wheel chair? Is there some kind of doggy donation center for disabled dogs or something?

Did an election happen or something? I wouldn't know. Halo 4 came out yesterday.

It seems I have found my own litter of kittens. They have been following me around all weekend like a goddess and have now found their way to the dance studio. Good news is they are happy to sit in their box and watch me dance. My new dance is very catlike, fierce, and will make a good audition piece.

That being said, anyone missing their kitten(s)?

I find it funny people keep telling me that I should be careful of wolves. It must be a euphemism for something like big bad people. Good think I know plenty of people that are more than capable of looking out for me. I doubt the forest or the city is full of wolves, what do you think?

I think I've met the woman of my dreams... in my dream.


[Private to Ginny]

As ridiculous as this may sound, have you ever dreamed you were attending a school for magic?

Bill! See, I told you, you were hot. Even this Kirk guy couldn't resist you. Will you share your secret with me?

For the record, Lindsay Lohan wishes her hair was as pretty as mine. Our red hair is about all we have in common but that's not an issue since she went over to the dark side and became a blonde. I don't plan on checking into rehab either. It's SO overrated not matter how many stars think it's cool.

And why in the world is it okay for guys to have sex but if a girl does it's some big scandal? Even if I was sleeping with him why should it be news worthy? People have sex all the time. Even celebrities.

Clearly my boyfriend is the attractive one in this equation if he gets to have us both. Sorry Jim. Though everyone has to admit the three of us together make one really hot couple.

Now I understand what the big to-do is about dreams. I had a pair of particularly vivid ones last night, involving my family. It was disturbing. I was there, but it really wasn't me. Some fantasy version of myself.

My analyst says that my parallels what I am going through in my waking life, and that I'm seeing myself in an idealistic setting created by my subconscious, indicating an inner turmoil.

I do not think people realize how loud they are when they whisper. I can hear you when you call me a slut or some other name you feel is appropriate. I can still hear you when you comment on the people my parents must be to raise someone that would be involved in such a thing.

And I can also hear you when you wonder how Jim is in bed. How about you ask him? Want to know how I am in bed? Why don't you ask someone that might actually know. It is going to be the closest any of you are going to get to finding out.

Anyone actually know this Rita woman? Like in person.

So my new show hits television this week (Wednesday to be exact) and I have to say I am a little nervous to see how it is received. I mean there are a lot of people that know me from my supporting role on the other show but this is different... I'm the star. There sure were plenty of fans at my last photo op and that was kind of amazing.

The new show is called Privileged. I know what you are thinking and yes there is all the drama that goes on at snotty all girl schools but there is a lot more too it. I promise it isn't all girls being knocked up and whining about guys. My character, Madeline, is a part of the equestrian team and part of a not so nice clique of girls that like to play games on their classmates and each other. Certainly twisted. I won't say any more so I don't give it all away.

In other news, I'm still working on mum letting me get a dog.

You go away for one single weekend, and everything goes to Hell? Getting sick of this responsibility for other people thing, you guys.

...That said... Dog park recommendations? I...seem to have a dog. She's easily the smartest dog I've ever met and after I got to meet her Wednesday, we had a weekend away thing and now I'm just bringing her home.

She's a partner, not a pet, but partners need off duty playtime too, and need to bond so I'm looking for some good suggestions. Where DO your dogs hang out around here? Where do they take their doggie dates? I mean, I looked for an italian place that'd serve spaghetti in the back but so far, no dice...

Boy, that was a strange one. I was transfigured into a cat/human hybrid by a potion that I'd cooked for a fortnight in a haunted bathroom. I remember the whiskers as clearly as if it happened yesterday. I spent most of the time hiding in a bathroom stall, but then went to the hospital wing with Harry and Ron.

For the cleverest witch in our year, as some have called me, I sure wasn't smart when it came to telling the difference between cat hair and human hair.

I know I agreed to help find out more information about these dreams but I am starting to understand why some people keep them to themselves. There are just dreams or memories, or whatever they are, that you want to keep personal so you can think on them, ponder them, cherish them even. I laid in bed so long this morning thinking on my latest dream I was late to practice.

If we came up with a small survey on dreams, in order to learn more, would people be interested in filling it out?

I don't know where my bloody phone is, so I'm posting this here.

Weasleys & Granger: I'm at the pet hospital with Dexter. Don't know when I'll be home.

Dreams must be contagious around here I swear! All this talk about them and poof I have one. It's like I can almost hear the noise and the clamor of that peculiar hat, a hat that sings. It was kind of old and musky and I didn't want to put it on my head.

I am a Gryffindor for all those people on here that talk about Hogwarts.

Guess who was offered a chance to model for America Eagle's lingerie line Aerie? Yep, me. I don't think my mum was too keep on me talking the gig but she needs to realize I'm not a little girl any more. I'm a teenager and that means hormones and boys. Would there be any question if I was a boy?

People are already talking about Halloween costumes, when did it get so late in the year?

I guess if I get desperate I could borrow one of the princess dresses from work ;) But I have a few weeks to whip something up, that should be enough I'm sure.

Anybody have any awesome ideas for costumes that they wanna share?

Has anyone else seen a Quidditch match? I just watched the Quidditch World Cup match in my dreams and it was brilliant. At least it was until the death eaters showed up and ruined the celebrations.

No, I did not disappear. I ran away for the weekend to Vegas with Bill. It was the perfect way to spend a weekend but that is not surprising, he is a complete dream. It was pretty amazing.

And no we did not spent our entire weekend in bed. Why do people automatically assume that when you say you went away with the person you are dating? Not that I would objected, why would I? Bill is amazing... He is gorgeous, good at everything he does, treats me right and he is mine.

We did get the entire Vegas experience in though; we got dressed up, went to the casinos, gambled some (I did not even lose all my money), and said why not and got married. You know all the things people assume you did when you said you went to Vegas.
