Hello world!

My name is Anja, and if you couldn't already tell, I like the Dresden Dolls. They're the most amazing, in-touch inspirational band I've ever heard. I want to be Amanda Palmer. I'm moving to Boston after I get out of college (I intend to go to the Academy of Art, San Francisco) Just to be in the halls of Lexington high where she learned would be amazing... but that sounds a little stalker-y,so anyway, I love MUSIC. It's my life really. Some favorites are The Dresden Dolls, of course, Lene Lovich, Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer, AFI (listening to Summer Shudder got me back into them), Fiona Apple, Evanescence (Amy Lee was the first hero I had) Billy Talent, Bright Eyes, and.. so many! I don't like My Chemical Romance. They just... aren't good. To me, it seems like they have the Potential to be a good band, but just aren't using it. All of their songs sound the same, and they milk the, "we're so cool and goth" thing WAY too much. And I don't like Good Charolette either. They're worse than MCR. And I LOVE Britney Spears' new CD. It's awesome. I feel so bad for her, she's got such a good new CD but everyone's focused on the fact she's a looneybird... it seems she's cleaning up, though.

I'm definitely not a depressed person. The whole emo thing really doesn't appeal to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not all hair-and-makeup obsessed, either. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. I love being all girly wearing tutus and having tea parties but I don't believe in makeup, other than lipgloss. I don't want to have to depend on it to feel beautiful.I absolutley LOVE myself, a little too much maybe lol. I used to be so confused, thinking I was this stereotype or that one, but the Dresden Dolls really helped me find myself. I know now that I am an artist. That's what I want to do my whole life. Create art, be art, live with art... I absolutley LOVE street performers. I saw a few the last time I went to San Francisco... such interesting and confident people, I think I'd like to do some of that once I get to Boston. Oh, and I really want to see a circus. I've never seen one, there was one going on when I was in Germany a few weeks ago (exchange program) but I didn't go... I wanna be a drunk ringmaster, too!! lol in reality, I don't believe in alchohol (I'm 16, the drinking age in Germany and I was there around good GERMAN beer and I didn't drink any :) or drugs or smoking.

Pretty much, I can't wait till college, 'cause that's when things will (hopefully) get interesting. Right now I'm just living in a little trailer on the 'shores of California', and it's a happy little life, but I know it won't last forever.

As far as fanfiction.net goes, I'm not much of a fanfiction writer, but I want to try different kinds to be well-rounded. i want to be a graphic novelist (for those of you keeping score: I want to be a street perfomer, artst, drunken ringmaster and now a graphic novelist... my life's gonna ROCK :) but the coming up with stories part of my brain isn't working so well, so I figure some fanfiction could exercise it a bit.

My favorite... stories...for which to make fanfiction of (I'm not so savvy on fanfiction speak D:) would be:

~Okage: Shadow King. If you've never heard of it, wikipedia it, it's amazing. So amazing, I really don't think there's much one could add to it to make it better, but I'll try.

aaaaaaand... there's more. they'll come to me later, I'm sure.

Bye!
