Well it's about time I post again.
Lets see.... OH! I am now 16!! Although you may know that already. :P And, I now have my temporary driver's permit!! Now all I have to do is drive another 49 hours. :P Anyways, I had a good birthday. :D
Then, our EPs have started up again!! We've only had one week so far, though, because bad weather canceled last weeks. :( I am taking a cooking class first period, first EP, which is fun. Second hour I am taking a class called "college study skills", where we learn what the best way to learn is for us... not sure exactly where it's all going, but we took a personality test that described me down to the fine details, so I'm guessing it's going to be good. :P
Second EP is interesting this Spring... we're just doing field trips and fun things. (I kinda wish we were doing another play, but oh well.) We went bowling the first week. Haha, I know, it can hardly be considered a co-op or EP, but hey, I have no complaints. I was, much to my delight (not) put down as "Catman" on the scoreboards once again. ;) It was a lot of fun, even though I didn't bowl very well, lol. This one guy kept hitting his ankle when he bowled... ouch!!
I do believe I forgot to tell you that I finally saw the last Lord of the Rings movie... and the extended edition, too. Whew, I was worn out after that four and a half hour movie. :P It was fantastic, though... my favorite out of the three.
And speaking of movies, on Tuesday we went to see that new Veggietales movie, "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything". ;) Lol!! *relient k song gets stuck in head* It was pretty good, and if you like Veggietales, I recommend it. We saw it in the 'cheap' theater with some friends. My friend, Meaghan, who was there, really likes Veggietales so she was excited, lol, and we'd been planning to go for several weeks. You might want to remember that name, too, because I'm sure she'll pop up in some other interesting/funny stories soon... ;) It's quite hilarious; we email a lot, so we have an extreme amount of crazy inside jokes that don't make sense to anybody but us. So suddenly when we're around other people we'll mention one of them and we'll both think it's hilarious when nobody else gets them. :P We can barely say something without including an inside joke.
Michael and I also watched Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for only the second time. It's really awesome!! :D
So, this Friday... yaaaaaay!! Okay, in the morning was our first EP again. Someone gave me potato chip cookies as a late birthday present. (They're better than they sound, really!!) Then we cooked some yummy italian food, and so forth. Overall it was a pretty good session. So then in the afternoon, we had our second EP, which as I mentioned, is all fun stuff. This time we just went to someone's house for a 'game day'. I played some Euchre and Jonathan and I lost horribly... it was quite tragic. We got 2 points. O_o I believe the game was rigged. ;) I also played some "Catch Phrase" (the game I completely owned with my psychic abilities last time) with Meaghan and a bunch of little kids hanging around. ;) It's funny, all the little boys absolutely adore me... I was like "Okay, it's time for me to go, catch ya later!" And instantly I've got little Max clambering all over me, Spencer and Carson yelling goodbye, Parker trying to hug me, and me trying to get out the door. Hehe, it's cute. :P
Yep, that's what I've been up to. This next week will be pretty busy, with getting together with friends, election day here in Ohio, band, EPs, Nathan's birthday, Leah's birthday, Nathan's birthday party, and a friend's birthday party... wowzers. :P

Ho hum.
Yes, I realize that it has been three weeks. But why post if Ihave nothing to talk about? So I'm back this week with 3 weeks worth ofnews. But before I jump into that, I have another thing for you tolisten to. :P I know Aaron and Christa have already heard it, but forthose of you that haven't, it's a rock/pop song I wrote, played, andrecorded. It's instrumental right now, but may have lyrics to go withit at some point. The weird part is, I came up with this song in mysleep! Like, I woke up a couple weeks ago and it was in my head. Sowhile you read the rest of my post you can listen... (The Xanga audio thing wasn't working, so I shall provide you with a direct link to a very reliable site.) ;)http://www.bashaws.net/music/untitled.mp3
Okay lets see... well last week we went ice skating. :D It was withone of our EP groups... good to see everyone after a month withoutseeing 'em. The fun thing about this group is that there are only,like, 5 or 6 people over the age of 15, so we're all really close.Here's kind of a funny story (although you may not find it funny...).This one girl and I have been emailing a lot talking about randomthings, and once she said something about her eating a muffin... so Ijokingly said "Save me one for when we go ice skating" and she was like"I would, but it'd be all mushy", so I told her that you can freezemuffins to stay good. :P And she did! She brought me a chocolatemuffin, hahaha. :P Yeah... and I only fell down once during iceskating, and that was because some guy got in my way and I didn't wantto plow him down. :P Heh, and there were all these cute little kidsabout four years old in their complete hockey suits... haha!
Then that night, Michael, Leah, our dad, and I went to see NationalTreasure: Book of Secrets! If you haven't seen it, I heartily recommendthat you do. Fun and entertaining, no matter what the critics say. :)
I'm in a concert band again this year, like the past two Springs.;) This year I have a song that's really fast and I have to play thehighest note possible on a saxophone multiple times. O_O And there'sone really high note that I always hit sharp, and I can't get it tosound right. A challenge, to be sure. ;)
So, this Friday, we signed up for one of our co-op EPs. :) It wasgood to see some people there again that we hadn't seen for a while. Iactually didn't move past the first few feet of the entrance hallwaythe entire hour, lol. I walked in, was greeted, and then we startedtalking right there the whole time, lol. :P
Then that afternoon, we went over to our friend's house to watchThe Lord of the Rings: Return of the King for the first time! It wasthe extended edition, too. It's an awesome film. But it's four and ahalf hours long!! That's a long movie, lol. But it was very good, andan excellent end to the trilogy.
Okay, yesterday (Saturday) night, we went to a 'teen movie night'with some people from our co-op, but there was a concert going on atthe same time, so the turnout was split and there weren't a whole lotof people there. :P Anyways, we watched Muppet Treasure Island, whichis actually a great movie. ;)
So that's it. Hm. I can't wait for the EPs to start up next week. And next week is my birthday. And Valentine's Day. Oooo. :D

Hello Again
Hey everyone! I know it's been a while. But I'm back, so all is well. ;)
Okay, first I will give you something to listen to while you read my post. :P By request of Aaron, I am posting this here. It is my own instrumental version of The Last Night, by Skillet. I played all guitars and piano, and used samples for bass, strings, and drums. Take a listen...
So have I posted since Christmas? I believe I haven't. Anyways, it was a good Christmas. :) I got some dvds, cds, games, ect, plus video editing software and a greenscreen for movie making. 8)
And it's 2008!! How exciting! :D
Last weekend, we went to an OSU basketball game, which was fun! I'd never been to one before. The Buckeyes won, too! But then the next day they lost in the National Football Championship. :( How sad.
On Saturday, some of us went to a friend's house (Nathan from the play), where we played games and had fun with them and another family from the play. It was pretty cool. Nice to see them after a month of no getting together. ;) I'd tell you everything funny that happened, but this post would be about three miles long. :P
An interesting and possibly excited bit of news... I got an email from a friend yesterday who wants to start a band. :D Like, a high school Christian rock band. I think it would be way cool, so we're figuring out some details. I'll keep you updated.
So this was pretty short. I suppose it's because co-op hasn't started again, lol. (Only a few weeks away...) And tell me how you liked the song, haha.

Christmas Weekend!
It's almost Christmas!!! O_O YAAAAY!
Okay, so on Monday I went Christmas shopping. Shopping isn't my favorite thing in the world to do, but Christmas shopping is a little different. ;) So now I have everyone's presents. :D I'm ready, Christmas, bring it on!!!
Quiz time: What comes after Monday? You guessed it. Tuesday! And on Tuesday we actually did something. We had our friends over for the afternoon just to hang out. I believe you are familiar with the anticipated Summer 2008 movie titled "Treasure of the Incas"? If you are not.... bashaws.net. Now. ;) Anyways, it's a movie that Bashaw Productions is currently in pre-production all, and I can tell you, it's going to be awesome. Little pieces are starting to fall together. Wait you're probably wondering why I suddenly switched topics? Actually, I didn't. Our friends, the Nelsens, are going to be helping us produce this film. It's like a collaboration effort. So we sit around and brainstorm with them sometimes when their over, and I'm liking how this movie is sounding so far. :D Pre-visualization, is what I guess you could say we're in right now. Drafting a script is next, and revising that script multiple times until April, when we hope to have a final version of the script. We will be writing the script with specific people to cast in mind, so there won't actually be a casting process... we'll already know who we want to be in it, and we'll make sure ahead of time they agree to it. ;) May is when we hope to start filming. Filming may take several months, but by July, we're planning on having filming done. Then we take some of July and August to edit, and hopefully the film will premiere late August. :D
Well you just got a peek at our schedule for TOTI. Time for anticipation to start! :P If any of you are interested in traveling to Ohio for a cameo appearance, give us a call; anyone who wants a part will get a part. ;)
Wednesday was pretty busy. We went to Marysville (about a half hour away) and stayed up there running random errands until about 1:30 when we went to see some people up there in Marysville who were in the play with us. (Two girls that are Leah's friends, and some younger boys.) But I met their 18 year old brother, so that was cool. He likes some of the same stuff that I do, and although he wasn't in the play, he wants to do some of the field trips that we're doing in the Spring. We got home from Marysville at, like, 5:00, so that was a long day, lol. :)
On Thursday I did a little more shopping, and now I'm completely done with Christmas shopping. Yay! Christmas, bring it on!! ;)
Friday was fun. At 11:00 in the morning, my friend Bethany and her mom came over. :) We talked, ate lunch, played a couple games, then talked about movies and a bunch of random topics, and then we danced.
Like,
Celtic dancing. I think I might have mentioned it before, but every
Spring there's a big homeschool dance called the Celtic ball. I've
never been to it before, but I would like to go this year. :D So
Bethany showed us some of the dances just to give us an idea... sounds
like it'll be fun. :D I shall plan to go, lol. I can't wait. It's
not like ballroom dancing, it's really Scottish and Irish dances...
like jigs and line dancing and stuff like that. :D
National Treasure: Book of Secrets is out now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't to see it. We might see it sometime soon and then Bethany wanted to go with us as well when it comes to the cheapy theater. It looks awesome. :D
Anyone heard of the band Lifehouse? I heard one of their songs on the radio the other day, and right now is one of my favorite songs. The name of the song is "Blind". I recommend checking it out. ;) And while you're doing that, check out "Definitely Maybe" by FM Static and "Over my Head" by The Fray. :P *And that's it for this week on 'My favorite songs that you've probably never heard'* ;)
It's Christmas weekend!! Yay!! I hope everyone has an utterly fantastic Christmas. :D
AND... I have been tagged to tell three--- oh, er, ten things that I like, and ten things that I don't like. So here goes....
10 THINGS THAT ANDREW DOESN'T LIKE
1. Getting up early. (I'm not a morning person.)
2. Going to bed early. (I'm really a night person.)
3. Movies that could be really good films, but they add in some unnecessary crude humor and language just to get it a PG-13 rating. (A movie can do without that stuff.)
4. When people cancel get-togethers at the last moment. (After the anticipation...)
5. How easily my electric guitar goes out of tune. (E-F#-G# A-a-A-a- WHOA WHOA!)
6. Anything slower than a half note. (GIMMIE SOMETHIN' HARDER TO PLAY!!)
7. The moment where you happily wake up in the morning and then remember how much work you have to do today. (Oh, crud.)
8. January. (There's nothing going on...)
9. Rhinos. (You know the kind I mean.)
10. Flash websites that never get updated. (If they're too hard to update, delete all the crazy flash stuff so that it's easier!!)
10 THINGS THAT ANDREW LIKES
1. All my friends!! (Just hangin' out with any one of them is awesome fun.)
2. Dancing! (Oh yeah, I love being light on my feet.)
3. Parties! (You get to hang out with not just one of them, but all of them at once!)
4. Acting! (Always have, always will.)
5. Listening to/writing/playing/singing music! (Yeah I've even tried singing recently.)
6. Summer! (Enough said!)
7. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess! (Best video game ever!!!!)
8. Watching movies in the theaters! (Love the experience!! Especially an intense action movie.)
9. Chatting online! (Stay connected with friends even when you don't see them!)
10. Getting autographed photos in the mail from celebrities!! (Just write a letter to one, see what you get back!)
Heh, well I did the best I could. Have a very, Merry Christmas!!

I'm a little late this week.
I forgot to post this earlier... but here it is.
O_O Um, okay, right now Leah and Nathan are watching High School Musical 2, and this song that's going on is getting on my nerves, lol. Fun in the Sun, or somethin' like that. I watched some of it, and minus the songs, it's not bad. I guess I find musicals odd because suddenly, they'll start singing and it just looks like they're mouthing words (of course they are), but it looks really fake and cheesy... I mean, who suddenly and randomly just starts singing? And how often does a full band join you from nowhere? Yeah.
Lets see.... Monday, nothing. Tuesday, nothing. Wednesday, nothing. Thursday... well, that's when I'm typing this, so Leah and Nathan watched HSM2 on that day. And I talked to one of my friends on the phone... lets just say that my awkward position is still just as awkward. O_O
O_O Wow. My mom just ran in the room and started singing that Fun in the Sun song... along with the dance moves. O_O That was surprising. Okay, moving swiftly along...
We have the blueprints for our new house now. I guess you would think that I'd be more excited about that, but the fact is, I'm not. Although I'd love to get into a new house, the land that we're building on is 25-30 minutes away from where we live now. I really don't want to be that far away from all our friends. It's not THAT far, but some of our friends will be nearly an hour away... I feel like we won't get to see them as often, and when we do, it'll be a big deal because we have to drive an hour or they have to drive an hour... no "Hey, you wanna come over tonight and hang out?" going on.
Well we were supposed to get together with some friends on Friday, too, but they canceled as well. Arrrrgggggg.... I've done, like, nothing ALL week. Sooo boring.
So on Saturday... I don't think anything happened. Oh, that evening our cousins came over to play with Leah and Nathan. ;)
On Sunday, we went out to eat at Outback Steakhouse.... fantastic steak. :D Then our grandparents gave us tickets to go see an OSU basketball game in January! Yeaaah!!
