More Than Meets The Eye

It’s been awhile yet again……no rest for the wicked

2008-01-28T20:46:00Z

Wow looking back on most of my posts I’d have to say that my writing style is rather boring.....I don’t like reading it and I fucking wrote it…..haha…..oh well it’s mainly just to keep tabs on things to remember good times.

Quick update….I got back from LA on my birthday (1/22)……to quote Lewis Black it was “a stress test that was out of control” Alina and I worked the whole time pretty much….although I’m sure it wasn’t quite as bad as a flight to New Zealand…..there were lots of fun times, and all the people from Halo Guitars were awesome.

I might be going with Jillian to Miami for Girl Talk…..not sure yet….I have to take my beetle to be serviced tomorrow, and lately my VW dealership has been charging an arm and a leg…..bastards won’t even wash my car…..god I miss taking my car to Reeves….it’s just so fucking far away…..so anyway, after that + bills…..yeah I don’t know….Yay for being a responsible adult!!

Sometime in the near future I’m going to be doing another shoot with Joe Traina just as soon as we work out a time

As you’ve probably noticed…..I never write here anymore, due to my always an issue lack of free time……I do however make quick updates on myspace (yeah….I know it’s traded but it’s what I make time for), so if you wanna know what’s going on that’s you’re best bet.

P.S…..Tina and Hallie….I miss you guys!! We need to make time for an AssHAT night.

Did I ever mention how much I LOVE vultures!!!

2006-06-20T19:09:34Z

Ever since I was little I have always found them to be amazingly beautiful creatures. When I was about ten, I made a sculpture of a turkey and black vulture, and used it for the main piece for a research project I did for a science fair.

A few years later, I was spending the day at a friend’s llama ranch, and we found a wounded turkey vulture wandering around the field. His wing had been broken. Luckily not far from the ranch there was a bird sanctuary in Sarasota. His wing was too badly damaged to be mended, so they had to amputate it. After his surgery I went back to visit once and awhile to see how he was. I was so tickled that they let me name him, and they even put a plaque up on the cage to show it……I named him Nickademus.

Around that same time, one day my mother called Busch Gardens to see if I could speak with one of the bird trainers, and actually visit with their vultures and condors, and they said that was perfectly fine, so for about 30 minutes I got to speak with one of the main trainers, stand right next to their huge female condor, and hold a black vulture!!!!....it was sooo amazing. My mom had taken a lot of pictures from that day…..I wish I could find them *sigh*……someday I will.

Still to this very day I love them so. Once someone had told me that there was a possibility that they were my spirit animal, since they have such a positive and strong connection to me. As a spirit animal, the vulture’s main meaning is purification. Not sure how exactly that applies to me other then, lately I’ve been making steps towards doing things that I’ve always wanted to do. Also lately more vultures have been appearing to me, and whenever I see them, the day never ceases to be completely and utterly terrific…..I know this probably sounds kind of hokey……but if nothing else I feel they truly are my good luck charms.

This day was particularly exciting….these guys were right in my front yard

A hermit coming out of the hole…….somewhat

2006-06-14T20:41:19Z

So much is going to happen between now and next year, and with how much I get out nowadays I know it doesn’t seem likely, but I’ve been trying to limit my outing time as a means of saving money……that and with how much I’ve been working, Darien and I don’t get much alone time except for weekends, so these are the two main reasons that we’ve been scarce.

Okay ….. here goes the update on what’s happening:

From July 19-23 I will be working at Comic Con in San Diego CA. as a makeup model for Bloody Mary makeup…..I’m sooooo excited!!!!!!!.......so anyone that’s going to Comic Con come stop by the Bloody Mary booth!!

All of my Saturdays now are pretty much going to be spent in dance rehearsal for Thee VaudeVillains show, and this Sat. I’m auditioning to be a singer as well *keep your fingers crossed for me* The only thing that sucks about Sat. is that Darien is going to an all day arcade auction in Orlando….and I reeeealy wanted to go but, there will be other auctions.

I will unfortunately not be attending Dragoncon this year…….after 5 years I am breaking my yearly tradition to attend the Drop Dead festival in New York. The main reason being that it has been forever since I’ve seen one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world!!!....I can’t wait to see Sam!!! Matt and Darien will also be going with me, so I’ll be at an awesome show in NY with the man I love more than anything, and my two best friends…..it’s gonna be wicked…….and speaking of Wicked, Darien and I will most likely see the show while we’re there since we’ve been listening to the soundtrack in my car and he really wants to see it………unfortunately though it won’t be the same without Idina Menzel *sigh*

Tonight is gonna be kick ass!!!! Darien and I are going to be attending The Cars/ Blondie concert……I can’t wait to get off work!!!

As for me and my honey……I couldn’t be more in love even if Cupid went aero happy on me…..umm…..I probably shouldn’t go into detail…..I don’t wanna make everyone sick, but just to give you an idea, we’ve actually been discussing the M-word…….not anytime soon mind you. We have no intension on rushing into anything.

Well I've already babbled on enough, so that's pretty much it for now

Oh and I almost forgot…..Kym your such an awesome friend too sweetie pie!!!.....and stop disabling your comments page you butt…..hahaha!!!

Jennifer is the BEST!!!!

2006-06-06T17:44:03Z

I normally detest modeled pictures of myself, but my god I can't find one thing I don't like about these pictures.....I love them!!!!!!......Jennifer your absolutly amazing!!!

Type your cut contents here.

Rockin' the tri-hawk action!!!

WOW....I can't believe that's really my waist....

Damn my fun bags!!......hahaha!!!

Well that's it for now......but there will be more to come!!!

Random Stuff

2006-04-12T19:07:42Z

This past weekend was lots of fun, I got to see friends that I hadn’t seen in awhile, and on Sunday Darien and I went to Medieval Times to celebrate Kym, Kelly, Warren and Paul’s birthdays, all together we had a group of twelve, it was super fun!!......Matt totally got retarded drunk and kept throwing bunched up paper at my head, so I took my straw and blew spit balls into his mohawk ……hahaha…..it sucks that I didn’t get any pictures though…..I’m pretty sure Paul got some good pictures, hopefully I can get them from him soon.

This semester’s gonna be ending soon!!!!!! Woohooo!!!....I can’t wait…..oh to be somewhat stress free again. Also in other news I believe Kym is dancing at the Castle again, so everyone should go!!!!

Oh and…….my baby is the BEST!!!!!

Type your cut contents here.

At first when I looked at this picture after I took it I said “ awwww….it looks like you’ve got an imaginary watch"……so……

Here’s the more exaggerated imaginary watch…….yay for the world of make-believe!!!!...........and yes we are quite aware that we are retarded.

Matt and Darien

Matt went on a mini light saber rampage…..watch out!!!!

Pictures from Channelside!!!

2006-03-28T17:00:22Z

2006-03-27T15:50:41Z

My middle sister Terjiana just had her first child a few minutes ago, a little girl and her name is Isabella Rose……I can’t wait to see her.........watch out for crazy auntie Ann!!!.....hahaha

The Fetish Ball and thensome........

2006-03-16T16:34:44Z

Well…..once again I’ve taken a long ass time between posts, mainly because I’ve been really stressed out with work and school…..there’s no way in hell I’m ever gonna take this much of a work load again, so this is why I haven’t really called anyone lately……I really miss everyone…….once school is over I will be sure to catch up with everyone….I hope your all doing well……..as for me, aside from work and school I can’t remember being happier………for those of you that don’t know, I’m actually dating someone now…….yeah can you believe it!!!.....someone has actually shocked my heart back into functioning……..I love him so (yeah that’s right I said love) he is my Darien……now I could be here forever going on about him and make everyone that reads this sick……..but I’ll save that for another time….bwahahaha!!!.....so now here are some pics from the Fetish Ball.

Bloody kisses are my favorite!!!

Darien and the lovely Miss Kym……..dude we make trash look good, we could totally give the Garbage Pail Kids a run for their money…..hahaha

Kym and I……bare in mind that most of these photo’s turned out pretty shitty, due to me and Darien’s vision impairment

Ahhhh……a gorgeous girl up against a wall…….who could ask for anything more.

WHAT!!!....their out of Red Bull……..oh wait I’ve already got wings…….haha……oh come …..I know it was a cheap joke but I had to do it.

My gorgeous baby *swoon*

I couldn’t decide which one of these I liked the best…..so I used them all

I love my honey!!!

On Sunday me and Jaton went to a Rangers game……which incidentally they played like shit……..but we had good seats….haha

Inside Madison Square Garden

Outside the Garden

We took some pixie sticks and colored our tongues …..because I guess oral cavity bleeding is quite natural.

This is me and Jaton with the infamous Miss All Beef Patty!!

When we left…Jaton’s boyfriend Jay….told her that he wanted all sorts of snow pictures…..angles, snow fights, snowmen…..the whole shebang ……well we were only able to find one patch…..but we did find snow

To be continued....

OK…..back for more, here is a glimpse of more Ann/Jaton craziness

Me and Jaton went to see Beauty and the Beast on Sat……and the woman sitting next to us would not stop passing her gas to everyone!!!......so we decided that Jaton’s glasses case…..which smelt just like cigars was much better…..ahhhh….the power of cigars

In the lobby at the show

Time Square motherfuckers!!!!!

The Subway rocks my world

We reeeally like the Subway

The Jekyll and Hyde club is the bestest place EVER!!!!

To be continued.......

What's going down...

2006-01-05T16:10:37Z

Come this Monday I'm probably not going to have time to contemplate well.....anything. I have four classes this semester plus my full time job, so my classes are either really early in the morning before work or at night...ooh and I also have a Saturday class.....ouch....so this weekend will most likely be my last to have fun till the summer....so everyone should come out!!

As for NY pics... they will be up soon...I've just been lazy, that and I've tried to spend most of my time with Sam because....

Sam is leaving for NY this Frday....*cries*....my partner in crime will be missed.

Also sometime this weekend me, Jaton and Jay will be going to the circus for Jaton's Birthday, and speaking of Jaton.....

Jaton is the best poll dancer EVER!!!!! for New Years she was covered in nothing but gold glitter climbed to the top of the ceiling and dropped as the ball....it was fucking AWESOME!!!....so everyone should go visit Jaton out at the Brass Flamingo in New Port Richie...you will be amazed....oh and she's known as Frankie at the club.

Also there's a new band that I'm totally in love with.....Bloc Party....they rock my fucking socks off.

I've also been watching a new anime called Elfen Lied, I'm loving it, I only have disc one.....I NEED the others NOW!! *pat's arm*....I'm most likely going to lend it out to everyone I know....so you'll find out what it's about soon enough...

I think that brings everything up to date so....

So long, farewell, af wedersehen, goodbye....

Let it snow!!!

2005-12-13T19:17:58Z

This Friday me and Jaton leave for NY city!!!....yeah baby!!.....I'm so totally pumped, I can't wait....we leave early as fuck in the mourning and we'll be back Tuesday evening. The hotel we are staying at is right next to Trash and Vaudeville and the comic book store that I got a lot of my Transformers statues from......so most likely I'm coming back totally broke. We also have a few events that we're going to, I was able to get tickets to the NY Rangers vs the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday and front row center tickets to Beauty and the Beast on Saturday.....so it's gonna be awesome!!

If anyone else has suggestions for NY activities, just let me know

Oh shit that's NOT a cat!!!

2005-12-09T22:09:05Z

Well.....on my way to my car to go to my lunch break this afternoon, I walked by the front of my house and I noticed Sammy (our persian kittie) laying near the front walk way, about three feet next to her was something else, not even thinking and just taking it for granted that it was another cat ( my family has a shit load of cats) I walk right in it's direction to cut through the yard to get to my car port and as I got closer I looked down....then quickly took a step back.......yeah it wasn't a cat........it was a fuckn' baby gator......HOLY SHIT!!.......he was just chillin' in front of my house right next to Sammy......hahaha.....weird......I love it.

My Thanksgiving vacation......sleep was not an option.

2005-11-29T18:56:34Z

Well pretty much since last Tuesday I have been getting home at 5am and then since my body for some stupid reason is programmed to wake up early, I would get up at either 9 or 10am, but I got some sleep last night so I’m totally ready for more….hahaha….err….oh my head….ok maybe not, so to some it all up I had a fabulous vacation

Wow a very unflattering picture of me……but it’s ok I have Mikey and Kelly to make me look good

Mmmmm.....ass

Gee...somebody doesn’t know how to take a picture...haha....(from left) Sandy, Jessica, me, Phil (err..I hope I'm right on that...I was really tired that night) and Matt

Matt and his lovely girlfriend Kym

I totally didn’t realize this when I took the picture…..but Kym’s got a water bottle dildo…..fabulous……and Matt seems to be way too happy about it…..I’m sure He’ll be enjoying the bottle later…….

Harry Potter

2005-11-18T19:47:14Z

I went to the midnight preview showing of Harry Potter last night with Carlye, Stacia, Ryan, Morry, JP and Don (and more people who's names I don't remember....yeah it was a big fuckin group)........and it fucking ROCKS!!!such an amazing movie....they all are, and I think every girl was thinking the same thing during the bath scene...and that was "well....hello there....when do you become legal".......hahaha!!!
ooh and after the show I ran into Maus and Mikey.....YAY....I love my Maus.

U2

2005-11-17T19:49:23Z

I went to see U2 last night with Jaton, and I have determined the she is my concert good luck charm.
We arrived there at a little after 5 and there was already a major line, but Jaton's friend Sarah was close to the front of the line with Greg(bartender from the Castle)so we cut in line with them....haha, then this lady came out with a loud speaker and informed everyone that the floor section was split up into two parts, a part in back (floor) and the front section right next to the stage(the Vertigo section) everyone with a floor ticket was eligible to win a space in the Vertigo section, once we got our tickets scanned there was a computer that would either say "proceed to floor" or "Vertigo,Vertigo,Vertigo,Vertigo"......which means you and a one friend win....well I walked through and got "proceed to floor".....Jaton walked through and......FUCKING WON!!!!....OMG we were jumping around like a couple of retards in a bouncy castle.......so we were right up front the whole time...FUCK YEAH!!!!
So needless to say the concert ROCKED hard core......and the opening band was good too.....they were Gavin Rossdale's new band "Institute"...so we also got to hear some Bush songs too, which kicked ass, and at the end of the set Gavin started madly humping his guitar and humped so hard that he ended up knocking over an amp in the process......that's some hard core humping yo....I thought Jaton and every other girl was going to have a heart attack.....after the show Jaton was screaming "I wanna be that guitar!...I'm never gonna look at a Fender Stratocaster the same way again!".....hahaha....so yeah...Jaton's my good luck charm....and I was standing three feet away from Bono....I'm a very happy Ann.

Screamfest

2005-11-08T19:28:26Z

God I haven’t posted in awhile….mainly because…well I didn’t feel like it….ha ha. Anyway, over a weekend in October, me, Tina and Josh drove out to Ft Lauderdale to go to Screamfest which is a big horror convention….it was awesome.

Holy shit.........Tina's kicking my ass.....oh well....YAY for evil!

Friday night fairies

Did you know that fairies love to eat purses…..mmmm…..yum!!

Tina's boyfriend Josh......so happy.....so drunk.

Stuart Charno…..this man has been in some of my favorite 80s movies of all time such as : Just One of the Guys, Modern Girls, and Once Bitten........also he thought we looked so kick ass that we got a signed picture for free...YAY!

Verne Troyer......you complete us!

Gris Grimly, he is such an awesome artist and he is also making a sort film that me and Tina got to see previews for…..it looks so cheesy…I love it…so yeah you should totally check out his stuff www.madcreator.com

So as me and Tina were standing outside, and this guy comes up to us and says “I’ve got to find you guys later on and get a picture”….and well….as we were over by the celebrity booths, he was in one of the booths…..turns out he was Alex Vincent, who played the little boy from Child's Play 1 and 2….awesome

Corey Feldman!!!!.......he rocks!!.....and I bought a sticker from his booth that says so to prove it!

OMG!!!.....it's Christine

Oh fuck!!.....Fallen angel's are apparently no match for demonic cars.

Sunday morning and the view from our balcony.....sweet

On the way home from Atlanta.....

2005-08-29T17:51:05Z

On the way home me and Jaton got bored and decided to stop in this butt-fuck nowhere town to go to the Crime and Punishment Museum, unfortunately the museum was closed……but we got to fool around with some of the props in front of the museum.

We had no idea what the hell this was.....but we played on it anyway.

Hmmm....maybe if I turn this thingy........

In this town they apparently really appreciate their ants….shit they’ve got their own festival.

Also Jaton decided that she wanted to wear her new clothes that she bought on the trip that very second….so she got changed in the car…..hahaha….I love her.

Damn!!....these people really love ants yo!

OH SHIT!!!!

Later on we stopped by Wendy’s…..and Jaton realized that her burger was apparently a boy….hahahaha!!!!.......her burger had cheesy, sweaty balls...... yeah that's right, these burger balls where sweating grease….mmmmm…yum!

BABY SKUNKS!!!!

2005-06-21T20:46:35Z

I got to play with baby skunks today!!!!! WEEEEE!!!, I did my weekly visit to my friends pet store to pick up food for all of my kids, and he had baby skunks!!!!.... unfortunately they were already sold…..not that I could take them, since I don’t plan on getting anymore animals until I move into a house, but anyway….they were sooooo adorable, and they had very sweet but playful depositions. They are also litter box trained. They’re apparently really similar to ferrets, except (and here’s the shocker) they don’t have much of a smell. I’ve only known maybe two people that have owned ferrets that had little to no odor and also kept there house odor free, so either ferrets are really hard to keep clean or most people are just lazy…..I don’t know….but yeah these skunks had no smell. I think I’m defiantly going to get a pair when I move into a house.
Skunks RULE!!!!!!!!

Monday night

2005-06-08T14:01:38Z
