I absolutely adore your blog! My name is Anastasia, and though I wasn't named after the Grand Duchess I'm always interested to learn about her. :)

Thank you! You have a great name. :)

My full name is Anastasia and I was named after Anastasia state park and not the duchess because my dad liked to surf there in college.

my middle name is eleanor because of the beatles song "eleanor rigby"

tributefromdistrict12- replied to your post: I just found out Zachary Quinto is gay

HE’S DATING JONATHAN GROFF

WHAT? REALLY? I'm so out of the loop on things! Not that I actively follow celebrity relationships anyway, but you'd think with tumblr I'd have heard about this! Aww in my head they make a cute couple!

QUESTIONS 

1. If you could chose one spell from the Harry Potter series you would be able to use, what spell would you pick?

Definitely apparition if that counts as a spell!  And I guess Accio if apparition doesn't count cos who doesn't wish they could accio things to them when they are too lazy to get up?

2. Who is the first person you remember disliking, and why did you dislike them?

My 2nd/4th grade Hebrew teacher.  She scared the crap out of us!  I remember this one time, one of the boys I guess was acting us, I don't remember what he did, but she got so angry with him, she grabbed him by the arm and slammed him against the emergency exit door.  The door ended up opening and he fell out the door (thankfully our school was only one story) and he also was bleeding from her nail marks in her arm.  Even years later, my friends and I still are afraid of her and at my friend's father's funeral about 6 years ago I remember we all went out of our way to avoid running into her there!

3. If you could live anywhere you wanted, where would it be?

Either Tel Aviv or London for real life places! 

4. Favourite trip you’ve been on?

Oh so hard to choose because I've been on so many great ones!  But probably this past summer backpacking through Europe with my sisters.  It was the first time I really got to travel Europe and visit a lot of the places I've always wanted to see and getting to go to the Olympics and being a part of all that was the most amazing experience!

5. If you could change 1 thing about tumblr, what would you change?

The new interface!  Ugh I hate it so much!

6. Name games you like of the following categories: one old pc game, one boardgame, one game you played during the breaks in primary school, and one other game.

Old PC game: Either Roller Coaster Tycoon or Harry Potter year 2 I think is the one I used to play all the time Boardgame: Scrabble, Balderdash, and I always loved Life Primary School: We used to play box ball (or four square as people call it) during recess

Other: I grew up playing Mah Johngg with my mom and her friends.  Haven't played since I left home and I miss it

7. What is something you always wanted to do but just haven’t gotten around to yet?

Skydiving

8. Shuffle your music player of choice. What are the first 3 songs? (and say something about them in one sentence)

1. Opening - Dr. Horrible -- Dr. Horrible is so great! 2. לא יכול לישון - סאבלימינל -- Um I can't actually recall this song specifically, but I love Subliminal! (They're an Israeli rap group) 3. The Medallion - John Williams - Raiders of the Lost Ark was a good film!

9. What is the first memory you have of using a computer or the internet.

I remember playing this mickey mouse game on my parent's computer back when that was the only computer in the house.  I think I got like an allotted amount of time to play each week after school and it had it's own pad to go over the keyboard that was colourful.  I just remember looking forward to that when I was young!

10. A nightmare you’ve had.

I tend to have really weird nightmares.  I once had a nightmare that my family was walking across the US a la Oregon Trail and we got to the Mississippi River and I refused to cross because there was no bridge and I was scared so my family went on without me and left me all alone.  I was like 9 or 10 when I had this nightmare!

11. Have you ever been on a boat? If so, tell something about the last time you’ve been on one.

Yes I have.  I can't remember the last time I was on a boat, but it was probably the cruise my family went on for my 21st and my sister's 19th birthdays so that was like 2.5 years ago.  The Bingo hostess was Scottish and I got picked to be the person who makes sure everything is good before they put all the balls into the machine because it was my birthday and I got way too excited to hear my name in a Scottish accent because of David Tennant and reasons lol

So now I guess I need to tag some people.  Let's just go to my dash and see who shows up that follows me...

peasants-will-always-kneel (you are all over my dash right now), goodlyrottenapple, comebaaack, tributefromdistrict12-, getbackinthewagonwoman, froghat, celerine, saying-nothing, any of the other cats who want to do this, and really any one who wants to do it go ahead and consider yourself tagged!
