OMG I'M ALIVE

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:37:41 GMT

ELLO! Decided to check back on my LJ after a couple of years.

Just wanted to say that I went to the American Idol 2008 tour last night, and it was great. I was able to meet the contestants by waiting outside byt he buses, and I absolutely enjoyed meeting Jason Castro, David Archuleta, and Ramiele Malubay. Jason was the cutest ever. I wish I could marry him. <3 ;D

We were both wearing American Apparel too. Wooo! :]

Anyway, I'm not sure whether I'll be updating this journal or whatnot. First off, I think I need to change my layout. It needs some updating. D: Plus the codes are all messed up with all this LJ revamp schtuff.

UM WHERE THE HECK DID _LACREST GO?

Wed, 23 Nov 2005 20:26:35 GMT

Well I've been really busy lately with school and the norm. So I have to decided to go on hiatus for the rest of the school year, until summer comes again. Goodbye for now, see you in the summer!

O N H I A T U S

by the way, does anyone know if there's going to be a studio audience for Rockin' New Year's Eve with Dick Clark in NYC?? Because Ryan Seacrest is co-hosting and I would really LOVE to meet him!! If anyone does know any information about this event, please reply, I MUST HAVE THOSE TICKETS! ;p

kthxbye.

CHEETAH POWER YEAH

Sat, 24 Sep 2005 02:36:45 GMT

Um yea, like I haven't updated in a LOOOONNNG time. Sorry about that, school has been more stressful than before, and the workload is ENORMOUS. Gosh.

But anyway, the Cheetah Girls are coming to my school. Like oh em gee? XD

And like Clay Aiken is totally coming here for Christmas. YESSSS.

AI SEASON 4 CONCERT RECAP

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 14:02:49 GMT

Okay, I am SO sorry this took so long, I've been majorly busy the past few days. I haven't had time to upload all the pictures yet, but I promised I will eventually. So far I only have pictures of Anthony and me, but I will have to erase my face for security purposes. XD

First of all, let me state that my friend and I were sitting in the THIRD ROW on the floor to the right. Let me tell you, those were some amazing seats!

Jessica Sierrra: To start off the night, Jessica Sierra started singing. She has a great voice, but I kind of got tired listening to her. She sang 3 different songs, one of which was A Total Eclipse of the Heart, which I absolutely lurrveee. <3

Ok, for the people who performed in between, I will hold to talk about them for now because I have to look at the pictures on my digital camera to see who performed in what order, and right now I can't seem to find my digital camera. o_O So I will talk about them later on.

Anthony Fedorov: Well then, let's skip on to Anthony Fedorov. Okay well first of all, my friend, whose name is Jayne, and I were waiting for Anthony to perform for like 2384029384023498 hours. It seemed like it took forever for Anthony to come onstage! But when he came out and started to sing, Jayne and I jumped up and started waving at Anthony! He didn't see us this first time we waved to him because he was busy concentrating on singing. :]

So, Anthony sings about 3 slow songs, and at the end he sings this song with a Latin kick to it, of course, with Spanish music being his favorite. And then he walks down off stage to the audience, TO THE LEFT, and starts to shake hands with people and stuff. That means he didn't come to our side. So we were like OMG@@&#%(*&!? COME TO OUR SIDE. So eventually he jiggies over to our side, thankfully, and Jayne and I jump out of our seats and run up to the front and touch his hands. My friend was shown on the projector screen thing they had up there, but I wasn't shown on it because I was being covered by Jayne. :[[[[ lol.

When we went up to Anthony to touch his hand, my friend shows Anthony her shirt that said in Russian, "I love you Anthony! You are the best!" And Anthony mouths back, "I love you too!" Aww how sweet. I'm so jealous, lol. So Anthony goes back on stage and continues singing his song. We both wave to him, and surprisingly enough, he's looking RIGHT at us and waves back!! And then Jayne starts to blow kisses, and he blows them back!! Ah this is when I got SO jealous because he was so totally into Jayne and not me, lol. At least I was standing right next to her, so Anthony just HAD to be waving at the both of us? lol. XD Okay yeah so that was his last song and he left the stage. It was just wonnndderfull! What a wonderful world! (I love that song btw XD).

So when the concert was over and the encore was finished, we went out to the back where the buses were. I have never done this before because I never knew where the buses were. XD Jayne said not many people know about it, so it probably won't be that crowded. But, heck, when we got there, there were already tons of people waiting by the guard rails! Good thing we were able to squeeze through and get pretty close to the front. Sorry I have to go now, more to come later. XD

AI 4 CONCERT - OMGGG ANTHONY !!11!!

Sat, 03 Sep 2005 04:29:43 GMT

Oh yes. I finally met Anthony Fedorovosterhotcute. :D Tonight was the American Idol concert, and it was amazing.

More info & pictures on the American Idol concert to come soon, I am too tired to type everything out.

For now though, long story short, Anthony was extremely kind to his fans, whereas Constantine was kind of rude. I was able to take a picture with Anthony and get his signature, but when I asked Constantine if he would take a picture with me, he was like "No I can't." So Constantine makes his way down the line, and at the end I see him taking pictures with other fans. How rude! Whatever, at least I got a picture with Anthony!! :D Woww Anthony is gorgeous. And Anwar is hilarious.

And omg Anthony was waving at my friend and me almost the ENTIRE night. He even blew some kisses. Ohhhh Anthony. We probably caught his attention because my friend was speaking in Russian and wore a shirt that said "I love Anthony!" in Russian, and then when Anthony came down stage to shake people's hands, we ran up to him and he saw us. So yeah. One of the best nights ever!

OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS RYAN

Wed, 31 Aug 2005 12:17:04 GMT

I am completely speechless.. see for yourselves. Portraits of Ryan showing his new clothing line, the R Line. You really have to see these pictures, they are GORGEOUS.

( INSANELY RYAN MANIA [pictures of Ryan with R Line] )

omgawrsh. One of those pictures is going to be my new header. Watch out. ;o

OK SCRATCH THAT.

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 14:36:58 GMT

I didn't end up going anywhere that Monday - had to stay home because we had to wait for the guy to come to fix the water. So anyway, I've been going to tennis practice every day since Tuesday. It's been all right.

OH EM GEE. LIKE THERE IS TOTALLY NO WATER.

Mon, 22 Aug 2005 17:53:53 GMT

There's no water in our house since our well is dry. !?!?!?! SDFKJSDLFJ! I can't live like this.

On another note, I have to make a decision whether to go to the first tennis practice or to my dad's concert that is only for today. My sister really wants to go to tennis because she's afraid of missing stuff, but I kind of want to go to my dad's concert because it's like a one time chance since they're only playing tonight. I am so confused. :[ Please help?

Choose between:
- tennis
- dad's concert

Oh and I might be absent from LJ for a while since I'm addicted to Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom. :p

JUST BREATHE

Sat, 20 Aug 2005 00:49:27 GMT

Today was a pretty busy day.

This morning, my sister had to do her physical fitness test so that she could be able to play tennis at school. Then we had to get new uniforms for school. After that, we went to the mall, ate lunch, and went shopping for a bit. Afterwards, we had to get new tennis rackets, so that's what we did. I lurrve <3 my new tennis racket. It's beautiful. :D

So tennis starts this Monday, but I won't be able to go to that because I'm going to see my dad play with his band at this place. I'm really excited, I love to play tennis!

On another note, stuff about Randy (the guy from Colorado). I completely forgot to talk about him. First of all, he looks like a nerdy dork (in a cute way, like Clay Aiken) but turns out he's a motorcycle-type-of-guy. He also wears one of those WWJD bracelets, just like Clay. And he's really religious. omg, he reminded me of Clay so much! lol.

GO PLAY DISNEY'S VIRTUAL MAGIC KINGDOM NOW! It's like the fun-est game ever. Plus it's free. It's just fantastic!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE ?

Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:43:43 GMT

Dan Karaty is officially my new favorite person. (Ryan Seacrest, of course, will always be my top favorite person ;])

Did anyone watch So You Think You Can Dance last night? Well if you did, you should have seen Dan Karaty, the fourth judge all the way on the right end, wearing the oh-so-famous Ryan-Seacrest-blazer-over-graphic-tee. He looked fantastic. He's actually kind of cute too, and dances fantabulously (if that's a word?). :D

Hello, he's right there all the way on the right. Sorry, I couldn't find a better picture of him. Took this off fox.com.

I think I'm going out to get my school supplies today. Yippee, I'm so excited. *claps* lol. Yeah okay, it's a tad bit early to get stuff for school, but it's better early than late when there's nothing good there left. Yes, I'm a school d0r|<. *cough* No, I'm not. I'm just weird like that and I love to get school supplies. I'm sure other people would agree with me too.. right? :S

Seeya.

P.S. Note the new icon. Clay Aiken - *gigglesnorts* Hehhahahahoheh. I love it.

EDIT: You know what, forgot what I said about being early to get school supplies. It's just the right time to get them. :]

SO I KEEP COMIN' BACK FOR MORE

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 04:50:58 GMT

Whattt, Ryan talked for like 0.0000012387 seconds on the Teen Choice Awards tonight! And I couldn't see his whole body because he was surrounded by fans. :[ I wish I was there right next to him, lol. He definitely should have gotten up on stage and actually made a formal presentation. Oh well.

On another note, I've been trying to look for a gmail account for the longest time. Can anyone invite me puh-lease? *makes a puppy dog face* :] Drop me a line at julezlovesseacrest@yahoo.com if you would be so kind. Thank you. :D

Geez it's almost 1:00 in the morning. Time flies by so quickly. >_>

By the way, I came across a pretty snazzy game. It's called Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom located at vmk.com. Check it out! It's really fun. It's similar to Coke Music, but it's just so much better. Plus is Disney. Y'know Disney's the best. I just started playing today. Go play it! :9

Off too sleep. Goodnight.

Mon, 15 Aug 2005 20:16:15 GMT

Wahhhh why did you cut your hair JD.

Oh well, he's still an arrogant freak. :[ Go MiG! :D

On another note, I'm up to date with most stuff going on around the net (emails, entries, etc.). Soooo time to relax and watch Full House!

YAY FOR COLORADO

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 22:55:00 GMT

Great things about my trip to Vail, Colorado:

Very nice room.
Hummer tour
Randy - he drove the hummer, nice guy. :] We were supposed to go white river rafting with him, but we canceled because of stupid thunderstorms.
Pete - hello, best tennis coach ever. And very cute. :D
Friendly people with awesome accents. When we checked in, there was this really cute guy with the cutest accent ever!
Tennissss. I am now prepared for tennis at school.
Bob Saget was totally there. Except in a different city. o_O
Laser tag - um, I got the lowest score. But very fun. XD
While re-reading Goblet of Fire, I came across the name Antonin Dolohov. HELLO! Sounds like Anthony Fedorov! .. He's a death eater? :o
I got to walk up the stairs into the airplane the old way, outside. :D Like how the president and celebrities go into the airplane without having to walk through the tunnel things. We just go outside and walk up the stairs into the plane.

Horrible things about my trip to Vail, Colorado:

No air conditioning in the hotel rooms. ?!
We totally did NOT get to go white river rafting with Randy because I was afraid there were going to be thunderstorms so my mom decided to cancel. And it didn't even rain. OMG! :[
No internet/computer for a whole week. AH.
Ran out of things to do. We finished everything in like 3 days.
Like whoa tiny airport?
Too slow paced for me..
While riding on the bus, the driver made a wrong turn (a very obvious wrong turn) and made us get a flat tire. Like duh?
I DIDN'T GET TO MEET RYAN SEACREST IN THE AIRPORT AT CHICAGO. =( lol, like there was any chance of me meeting him there. Well, there was a chance, but very very slim.

Overall I had a great time. And now time to catch up with everything else. Too much ahh. :S

VACATION ONCE AGAIN

Sat, 06 Aug 2005 15:13:18 GMT

I'll be leaving for Colorado on Sunday (tomorrow). I don't know, I'm not really looking forward to this trip. I don't even know what we're going to do there. I'll try to make the best of it though. =)

Hey, since we're going to be stopping by Chicago during the flight, think I'll see Ryan at the airport? XD Well, the odds are low. I don't think he would arrive a week early before that Glamorama Fashion Concert & when he goes to Marshall Field's. (He's going to be there on Aug. 12 and 13) Hum. I hope he does arrive a week early and will walk around in the airport and bump into me. lol. :p

WHOA WOW

Fri, 05 Aug 2005 03:10:30 GMT

Goodness gracious. Jillian & Brandon's house burned down! =( Wow.. I can't believe it.

And golf was unexpectedly fun. One time when I was putting really close to the hole and I totally missed it, my teacher said in a diva-ish way, "What you doing, girlfriend!" lol. It was hilarious. Plus he has this really cool Irish (I think?) accent. Very fun. I got to drive the golf cart. Yay! :D

SHE WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET SINGING..

Thu, 04 Aug 2005 18:52:15 GMT

Doo wah di-di di-di dum di-dee doo.

Today I have to go to golf lessons. I love golf and all, but I actually don't feel like going to lessons today. My teacher is kind of rude I suppose. Today will be my second lesson with him. I need a new teacher. :\

Not much has been going on really. I'm a dork so I make schedules on a daily basis so that I'm not wasting too much of my time. XD Basically it's divided into hours, where it's usually something like computer, read, watch Full House, play outside, etc. Yeaahhh it's been boring. ;p

And since when did we need to read a summer reading book for science!? Ick. I already started reading it and I don't know half the terms. My teacher probably assigned our class a complicated book just because we're in honors biology. *sigh*

So I've been bored lately and I decided to look up the definitions of certain names. The definitions were surprisingly closely related to the actual people I know who have that name. Here are some of the names I looked up (the italicized words are my comments on the definitions):

CLAYTON
Origin: Old English

Traits: The name Clayton evokes several different images: a rich, conservative snob; a smart, egotistical know-it-all; a strong, temperate leader; or a shy, mild-mannered nerd.

Oho, "a shy, mild-mannered nerd." Yep, that's Clayton Holmes Aiken for ya. :D

---

CLAY
Origin: Old English
Meaning: from the earth

Traits: Clay is described as a down-to-earth, rugged, handsome, and easygoing guy who is both a hardworker and a devoted family man. To some, though, Clay is a wealthy, suave smooth-talker.

"... hardworker and a devoted family man." Oh yeah.

---

JULIA
Origin: Latin
Meaning: youthful

Traits: People think of Julia as a good-looking brunette who is kind, lively, and thoroughly middle class.
Famous people with this name: chef Julia Child; Lillian Hellman's story Julia; actresses Julia (Newhart) Duffy, Julia (My Best Friend's Wedding) Roberts, Julia (Seinfeld) Louis-Dreyfus; reformer Julia Ward Howe; the Beatles' song "Julia"

Hah.. yeah. I decided to look up my own name. I suppose I am a brunette. I have dark dark dark brown hair. "kind, lively," yes, this is me.

---

RYAN

Origin: Irish Gaelic
Meaning: little king

Traits: Ryan is described as a strong, active man who is extremely good-looking, though shy, like Ryan O'Neal.
Famous people with this name: actors Ryan (Love Story) O'Neal, Robert (Billy Budd) Ryan; baseball's Nolan Ryan.

TOTALLY RYAN. :D

These definitions came from http://msnfamily.americanbaby.com/ab/babynames/ by the way. What does your name mean?

LOOK WHO'S HERE

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 00:04:33 GMT

Yes, I am back from NJ. =) Initially, the plan was to go to Bloomingdales in NYC and look at some of Ryan's R Line clothing. Thing is, I don't think it's out in Bloomingdales yet because they didn't have it there and very few workers knew about the R Line. The rest of the workers we asked even had no clue what the R Line or who Ryan Seacrest is, lol. *sigh*

So we just ended up strolling around the city. Went to Bergdorf Goodman, Diesel, Bloomingdales, and passed by Times Square, Rockefeller Center, & Trump Tower. Then we had some dinner at this nice seafood restaurant. While heading back, we passed by the place where they film the Today Show. Across from that there's this store that had Donald Trump's face on the whole window and there were shirts that said "You're Fired!" and quotes like that from The Apprentice. I found it deeply amusing. :D

I love NY, the only thing bad about the city is the air. I'm used to the fresh air out here in the "countryside" (if you would call it that) and not the polluted and sort of congested air.

By the way, the other day I had golfing lessons. They were pretty fun! Learned putting, chipping, and driving. I'll be going again tomorrow. Hopefully it's a nice day.

And omg my sister's friend met Trey from the OC. omgz0rznoway!!?!?

R LINE ICONS

Fri, 29 Jul 2005 20:07:52 GMT

I couldn't resist, I just had to make icons of Ryan and his new clothing line, The R Line. :D Feel free to use them, just please comment & credit if taking. Thanks. =)

ONE MESSED UP DAY

Thu, 28 Jul 2005 19:57:26 GMT

Today's forecast consists of highs and lows.

Hah, I thought that sounded kind of cool. ;p So basically, today began out happy, and ended up being angry/mad/sad/DSFHKJSFDH!.

It definitely started out as a really nice day. I woke up, started reading a book, and then my mom suddenly asks us (my brother, sister, and me), "Do you guys want to play outside and have a water gun fight while I clean the deck?" So I was like "Yeah, cool! That sounds like fun." We go outside, play with the hose and the water guns, shoot some hoops, and start swimming in the pool. It was tons of fun. We got soaked, then waited for the sun to dry us up by riding our bikes, then soaked each other again. :D

Now the pool is where all the trouble started. We haven't gone into our pool in the longest time, so obviously there were some bugs. I was taking out some of the bugs with my sister using those long sticks with the net on the end, and I told my brother to turn on the vent. Turns out he flicked the wrong switch. He opened the cover to the pool even more (we have an indoor pool), which you're not supposed to do because it breaks it and makes the sides uneven. So now we can't close the pool because one side is going forward while the other side is not moving at all. It's annoying. So my mom was angry at my brother because now we have to call the repair people and pay again, since this has happened before with other guests.

So yeah we basically got out of the pool and went inside. And I'm sitting here at my computer still with my bathing suit on. I gotta go take a shower now. *sigh*

AND THEN I REALIZE I WANNA COME FIRST ...

Wed, 27 Jul 2005 19:13:23 GMT

Yesterday my sister and I were playing to Lindsay Lohan's song, First. It was SO much fun! I played the guitar and sang the background vocals, while my sister sang the main part and played the drums. We actually weren't that bad. ;]

I'm very excited for this weekend, there's much to do!

Friday I'm going to play some golf and attend lessons
I'm going to NJ, which means I'll be able to go to Bloomingdales to check out Ryan's new clothing line! Exciting :D
Maybe I'll even be able to check out the Today Show if we stay until Monday!

Rockstar INXS is on tonight, GO MiG! He's definitely the best! I just found out last night that he's Filipino, I thought he kind of looked like one. ;p Okay, not the best looking, but he's a really good singer.

RANDOMNESS: I just skimmed through a pretty interesting article on MSN, check it out.

BOSTON

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 15:02:15 GMT

So Boston was awesome. Except for the fact that they constantly made fun of New York and the Yankees. ?! They were completely overdoing it. One street show was singing about a filthy island known as Manhattan. Hey hey watch it! We don't make as much fun of Boston and the Red Sox, right? ..

:o Mike Stevens! Cute, lovely voice, great smile. I stayed there for about an hour listening to his group (Similar Jones) sing, they're great! I completely forgot to take pictures, I really should have. They were really a great group.

On the last night we spent in Boston, we went to eat at Legal Seafood. Our waiter, Aaron, who was cute but very tall. When we started to order, he repeatedly said "Oh, I actually had that for dinner last night!" The way he said it was just so.. funny. He talked extremely slow with this airy voice. Okay boring topic, it's one of those things where you just had to be there.

I will ~~never~~ rarely, ever, ever, take the water taxi again. Unless I somehow get over my sickness of getting seasick. I have to admit, it was rather.. enjoyable. I just really wish I wouldn't get seasick.

WAS OUT OF TOWN

Sun, 24 Jul 2005 19:29:21 GMT

Oops, sorry, I completely forgot to post this earlier.

I have been away up down in Boston for the past 2 days or so, and I just came back today. It was great! This is basically a list of the exciting events that happened, I'll elaborate on them later because I have to go to church.

Mike Stevens of Similar Jones (an acapella group) - an amazingly cute guy with a great voice (Okay, so he doesn't look so great in that picture, but he looks SO much better in person and more recents pics)
Aaron - "girly" waiter in Legal Seafood - HILARIOUS
Water taxi - never again
Yay science museum.

By the way, I finished HBP..

HELLO! TOP 5

Wed, 20 Jul 2005 03:19:56 GMT

Snagged from kirstie89 & maybethistime:

Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things.

Ask away. :D (Hopefully? XD)
