Figured it out! ♥ 8:58 AM
Sweet. Figured out how to use tumblr. I'm pretty much abandoning blogger. Continue to follow me on both twitter and tumbler, here: http://zafiriathena.tumblr.com/

My B, Yo. ♥ 9:25 AM
It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted, but there really hasn't been much going on. Work is still a pain, and I'm desperately trying to save some money for a trip to Florida in September, but that's pretty much it. I am on the last leg of my novel, wich is super exciting! This means I can start the second draft and start the first draft of novel two! Yay, me!
Have y'all been keeping up with So You Think You Can Dance? It's seriously the best part of my summer. My absolute favorite couple is Melanie and Marko, and here's why: http://youtu.be/czcpQyI-MH8. Y'all need to look up their other dances as well. A-MAZING. I have a soft spot for Ryan and Ricky, since Ryan is another girl that shares my name, as well as Chris and Ashley. I may or may not have a slight crush on Chris. =0)
Anywho, that's all for now! Gotta get back to making my cupcakes!
The End.

Dancing Shoes ♥ 6:51 AM
Have any of you been keeping up with So You Think You Can Dance? It airs Wednesdays and Thursdays, both are nights I have to work so I usually end up watching the performances online. (By the way, Fox, adding the episode DAYS after the air date is NOT COOL!)
Anyway, I'm seriously impressed with all of the talent on season 8, and I especially love 18 year old Jordan and the girl from Georgia, Melanie. And I'm super stoked about the hip hip performers, as that genre tends to be my favorite. I'm rooting for ballroom dancer, Iveta, too. I have a feeling she's going to struggle with the other genres of dance, but I hope she does well.
I've been keeping up with The Voice, too. All of the members I've voted for have made it through so far (Xenia, Dia, Beverly, Frenchie) and I hope my final favorites will make it through to the next round (Taylor/Tori, Casey, Nakia and Devin). Who do y'all like?
Hey, guess what else? I'm almost finished with my first draft of the novel I'm working on! Celebrate! Then it's on to the next draft and first draft of my next project! Woohoo!
Side note: I'm feeling funky and this is why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXJoJ5MEo5g&feature=youtu.be

Entertainment Value ♥ 10:11 AM
Okay, so I probably should have thought of this at the beginning of the season, but I really wanted to do some feedback with season 12 of Dancing With the Stars. Tis my guilty pleasure. =0) And, okay, maybe So You Think You Can Dance, Glee, and The Voice (Blake Shelton is amaze-balls). American Idol is getting too much for me, and I seriously get aggrivated when all the good contestants get voted off early. >=0(
Anywho...crap, where was I going with this? Oh, yeah. Chelsea Kane should have won, but Hines Ward is a good substitute champion.
Bah. Foster The People's Torches is distracting me so this entire update is pretty pointless. I'm rambling. I guess if y'all like SYTYCD, I'd love for you to put your comments in my chatbox! =0)
The End.

Music Makes Me Lose Control... ♥ 10:18 AM
I am on a super music kick right now, so I'm going to spend this post linking y'all to some of my favorite new bands, as well as some new material from some old favorites. I may go off in a tangent, so try to keep up!
Yellow Red Sparks http://youtu.be/YwJPFlKIdNQ I heard this song randomly somewhere, but it was on Chelsea Kane's website, http://www.chelseakane.com/, that I put faces and a name with the song. (Plug: vote for her on DWTS! She's the best dancer!)
Foster the People http://youtu.be/SDTZ7iX4vTQ. Catchy boys from California. Duh. You can't help but to dance, despite the lyrical meaning.
Flogging Molly http://youtu.be/rOiLVo8yIJE. I've loved them forever. New album is coming out Tuesday! Buy it!
Dropkick Murphys http://youtu.be/D7g3RuoreRc. These boys do great work. Great work.
Mumford and Sons http://youtu.be/lLJf9qJHR3E. Lyrical gangstas, these boys are.
The Decemberists http://youtu.be/qR9DjdMrpHg. There's just something about them I just love.
Laroux http://youtu.be/EUsbpmQ9-mc. Best song to come around in a while. Love her.
Vampire Weekend http://youtu.be/P_i1xk07o4g. =D
Adele http://youtu.be/rYEDA3JcQqw If you don't like Adele, you spit on kittens.
Danger Mouse http://youtu.be/8UibsjY5K-c. Everything Jack White touches turns to gold. I'm excited for this album to come out. <3
Crap, this could take forever. I'll update as I find others to my normal posts.
The End.

Creative Control ♥ 7:26 AM
I write. A lot. There's a story in particular that I've been re-working since high school that I have finally got a handle on. I should have the first draft written within the next few months, which is super exhilarating because if everything goes according to plan, the second draft should be completed by the end of the year, early next.
I'm thinking about self-publishing since I don't know the first thing about acquiring an agent to represent me and my writing, and I feel like sending the manuscript just anywhere would be a waste of time. And while it's circulating the web, I'll be busy penning my next novel. I have several started, so I have plenty of material to work with.
If any of you know anything at all about publishing, let me know! Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
The restaurant I work at is starting to get busier, and on days I'm by myself I write to make the time go by faster. Pretty soon, I'll like, have to be diligent at home. ;0) Ah, well. They are paying me to work after all.
I'm also writing fanfiction in my spareish time. Don't laugh, it's a great writing tool! And, no, I am not going to tell you what it is I write, you'll just have to find me.
The End.
