   The day after...

Man, I'm beat, although I did like nothing yesterday. Well, that's not true. I explored the wonderful world of doing my college applications online and now I'm almost done, yay! I also explored the world of iTunes, and quickly discovered it's hard to not send money. I downloaded "What you Waiting For" by Gwen Stefani, Cold by Crossfade, So Cold by Breaking Benjamin, Word Up by Korn, Vertigo by U2, and this awsome song by a group called the Von Bondies called C'mon C'mon. If you've ever seen Rescue Me, you know, that reallu bad show about the firemen on FX, it's the opening song to that. So now, I'm nearly broke. I don't get what the deal is, people make a huge ass deal about buying cds which are like 13 bucks a piece on average, and they want to download songs to burn one cd which is like 13 song, but when songs are 99 cents a piece, it's still going to be 13 bucks in the end. Cause my new computer has a CD burner built in to it, I'm planning to burn my "Up Beat" rock cd on it (ok, Gwen's not technically classified as rock anymore, so sue me. It's still a wacked out song).

Now that Thanksgiving is over (I hope you all had a good one), I had to find something else to keep my readers highly amused. I came across this:

21 REASONS WHY STAR WARS IS BETTER THAN TITANIC
1. The Titanic is big, but it doesn't have hyperdrive.

2. Yoda could use the Force to lift Titanic out of the water.

3. Leia is a princess, a senator, a freedom fighter, and Jedi material; Rose is just marriage bait.

4. Ewoks throw better parties than either first class or steerage.

5. When flying towards the Titanic, Wedge can't say, "Look at the size of that thing!" and really mean it.

6. It would be much scarier to get chased around the boat by a raving madman with a lightsaber as opposed to a handgun.

7. Titanic is egalitarian by portraying poor people as sympathetic characters. Star Wars is egalitarian by promoting bug-eyed amphibians to Admiral.

8. Said bug-eyed amphibious Admiral manages NOT to lose his ship.

9. We know Cal is the bad guy because he sneers at the poor and treats his fiancee like property. We know Darth Vader is the bad guy because he strangles people and blows up planets for fun.

10. Yeah, Leo can dance, but can he fly an X-wing?

11. Rose braves icy water to rescue her man. Leia braves Jabba the Hutt.

12. There are always enough escape pods in Star Wars.

13. Do you know what the Empire does to self-proclaimed "kings of the world?"

14. If Luke were handcuffed to a pipe below decks in a sinking ship, he would use the Force to get the key.

15. Nothing has the same sting as "I'd rather kiss a Wookie."

16. Han is frozen in carbonite and turned into a wall ornament. Leo simply freezes.

17. Han Solo would've steered clear of that stinkin' iceberg!

18. We knew the boat was gonna sink. But who could've anticipated, "Luke....I am your father."?

19. Stormtroopers blast big holes in stupid minor characters; everyone in Titanic was a stupid minor character.

20. When Star Wars was proclaimed coolest movie of all time by half of planet earth, George Lucas did not make a dork of himself at the Oscars.

21. Titanic morals: a. gamble, b. cheat on your husband, c. pose nude for pictures, d. premarital sex is OK if you're infatuated.

Star Wars morals: a. fight evil, b. do good, c. respect all life even if it's ugly and slithers, d. rescue princess, e. save planet.

Haha, I love that one. Number 9 is my fav.



RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
Ok, it was Charlie Brown, big whoop.


"What I'd really like to do is something extraordinary. Something big. Something mega. Something copious. Something capacious. Something cajunga! But I'll probably end up working at Great America, mopping up hurl and lung butter."

Allright turkey-stuffed boys and girls (unless you're Canadian), have an awsome day on this Black Friday. I ain't going shopping today, no-sir-ee. But I woke up today and all the X-Mas decorations in our house were up. Twas quite frightening. Later, dudes!

   WOOOOOOH, SCHOOL'S OUT!!!

Well, for a few days at least. Anywho, I came home today and helped set up(well, not really I just sat in a chair and watched as my brother did it) our new desktop!!! I'll probably still use my laptop alot cause it's in my room, you know where mothers can't pry and read over your shoulder and crap. But yeah, they have some really cool features like the jukebox where you can download music! And you can even BURN CDS!!! Ok, I've never done it before, so I'm really excited. And it's cold in here, why the Hell is it so cold?

Last night we got Harry Potter 3 and watched it. I'll skip the movie and go straight to the extras I watched. Like the addtional scenes. They were ok. Half of them featured Sir Cadogen (you know, he took the Fat Lady's place) so I was happy they didn't forget him. I also watched part of the interviews. Those were funny. The shrunken head(from the Knight Bus) helped interview. One of the questions to the Weasly twins was what's the weirdest thing a fan has ever done? And they talked about how they were at a convention and some girl gave them a bra with two potatoes. Right. I only got to watch like, 2 out of 9, but they were good. I think they're my favorite extra feature. Cause who plays that stupid crap that's like "Let's take a 360 degree tour of Lupin's office!!!" Uh, no thanks.

TRYING TO MAKE THANKSGIVING MORE INTERESTING THAN IT ACTUALLY IS!!!
A spooked turkey can run at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. They can also burst into flight approaching speeds between 50-55 mph in a matter of seconds.
Male turkeys have over 3500 feathers.
90% of Americans celebrate Thanksgiving (sorry, I don't know Canada)
50% of Americans eat turkey AGAIN on X-Mas (dude, I eat lamb. Cut the birds some slack)
Franklin D. Roosavelt tried to move Thanksgiving to the 2nd to last Thursday in December to create a longer X-Mas shopping season




RED'S FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Ha! It was a Fist Full of Dollars!


"We've got ANOTHER holiday to worry about. It seems Thanksgiving Day is upon us."
"I haven't even finished eating all of my Halloween candy."

Mmmmkay, that's it from the Tigress Pad. Hope you all have a good Wednesday! (Quick, start the cooking now...)

Birthday Countdown: 4 days!

Damn nit...

We were supposed to have Chipotle in Spanish class, but everyone forgot/didn't know who to give the money to or when, so we didn't. Other than that school was boring. And it went by slower than yesterday. Our classes are 90 minutes each, and in my AP Journalism class, about 15 minutes had gone by before I started looking at my watch.

Ok, it's time for another...

TRYING TO MAKE THANKSGIVING MORE FUN THAN IT ACTUALLY IS!!!
Even the facts I look for on the net suck. Even if I specifically type in "funny" with it, but whatever.
- According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 45 million turkeys are cooked and eaten in the U.S. at Thanksgiving — that's one sixth of all turkeys sold in the U.S. each year.
- Age is a determining factor in taste. Old, large males are preferable to young toms (males) as tom meat is stringy. The opposite is true for females: old hens are tougher birds.
- Turkeys are the only breed of poultry native to the Western Hemisphere.
Turkeys have great hearing, but no external ears. They can also see in color, and have excellent visual acuity and a wide field of vision (about 270 degrees), which makes sneaking up on them difficult. However, turkeys have a poor sense of smell (what's cooking?), but an excellent sense of taste.
- Turkeys sometimes spend the night in trees.
- Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining. They can also have heart attacks: turkeys in fields near the Air Force test areas over which the sound barrier was broken were known to drop dead from the shock of passing jets.

The last one was by favorite. It's the most amusing thing I've heard all day.


We're skipping the movie quote today (maybe someone'll get it) and going right to

RED FLIPS FOR LONG HAIRED HOTTIES(and I bet you do, too)!!!
Ok, so maybe all his songs sound the same, but so what?
I can't decide who's dirtier, Karl or Viggo.
What can be said?
Antonio!!!

Mmmkay, that's all the happenin from da hizzo in my street. riiiiight. All right, hope you guys all have a sweet Tuesday! Later!

   Monday, yet not...

Since it's the week of tanx(except anywhere outside the US of A) it feels like this week should be alot easier than it is. And yet, today I went to school and found the one of the longest mondays ever. Anyway, back to the point at hand. I'm sure there's at least one other person at the mO to think of this idea, but I haven't seen it, so don't grill my ass if this isn't the first you've seen it. What is 'it', you ask? Why, it's my latest segment...

TRYING TO MAKE THANKSGIVING MORE INTERESTING THAN IT IS!!!
I will be doing some fun facts about this oh so average holiday of ours, and the propaganda that surrounds it. Today, I shall start off with...

• Turkeys were one of the first animals in the Americas to be domesticated.
• Turkeys are first documented over two thousand years ago in Central America and Mexico.
• Benjamin Franklin called the turkey "a true original native of America."
• The turkey was nominated to be the official bird of the United States but eventually lost out to the bald eagle.
• Domesticated turkeys cannot fly.
• Male turkeys are called "toms" and female turkeys are "hens."

Eh, I'll try and find some more interesting stuff for tomorrow. It's a new segment, it's not refined like Red's Magnificent Movie Quote, or Red's Weird-Ass Dreams, or Red Flips For Long Haired Hotties (though that only took two days. Who knows, maybe you'll be giving thanks this week for some more hotties Red flips for).

On to the next order of buisness. Ok, when you go to the Starbucks, please know what you want, and also what your child wants. If you don't know that a child's cup only comes in one size, and that you can't order coffee in it. Don't mix up the Peppermint Mochas with the Peppermint Hot Chocolates and try to put it in a tall, rather than a kid's size cup. You don't know what you're talking about, let alone the people at the bar don't know what you're talking about, and then take 10 minutes to sort it. Do you realize, most of the rest of us know exactly what we want and order it so many times, we have the exact amount of change in hand, ready to go? You're holding up the line. Just go to McDonalds and get your kid a McFlurry or something. The rest of us have to be places.

That was my (rather calm, if you noticed) rant for the day. I also went to rugby club, but we just watched an informational video. I know it's an awsome sport and all, but I don't think I'm gonna do it. My mom already comitted me to basketball for the winter, and in the Spring I want to do soccer. Plus I said I was gonna do kickboxing at the gym, anyways.

RED'S FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE-EST. 2003
Haha, just thought I'd put that up there. For the web, that's pretty vintage, eh? 2003? Damn straight. Ok, well the quote was 13 Going on 30, yay!(See, she's even happy!)


"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."

Mmmkay, I don't know about other places, but today it's drizzly here. You know, the kinda wheather that gets ya down? So if it's the same wheather where you are, hope you get cheered up, and if not, hope you're having a good day!

   Quite dissapointing...

And you know what was quite dissapointing? Actually, two things. The 2nd single off the new Perfect Circle cd single I just heard (Passive, it's my fav song on the cd) was bleeped to an extend to make it sound horrible. But only in like three places. But that's not the most dissapointing thing.

ROY MUSTANG'S DUB.

Ok, it's like the guy couldn't decide whether or not he wanted to try and have s sophisticated English accent or play it cool, so he came up with some crap in between. It's awful. Ugh. When the DVD comes out (Watch, it'll be like 30 bucks a pop) I am SO buying it and watching the subbed version, complete with the regular beggings and endings, and watching it on my giant tv. ROY, WHAT HAPPENED, BUDDY?!?!


All I can say is Hughes' voice had better be good, or there'll be SERIOUS Hell to pay. I mean it! As a PPT, I can legally declare THAT a destructive force, and we will TORCH THE FUNIMATION BUILDING!!!MARK MY WORDS, FUNIMATION, MARK MY WORDS WELL!!!

Yeah, I saw Elf last night. Not that great. I kept expecting Will Ferrel to do something snide. Guess I'll have to wait for Anchorman to come out.

RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
Ok, I just have to say if you haven't seen the MTV Movie Awards parody of this (yes, I know it has Justin Timberlake, so sue me) you HAVE to see it. It's on the Matrix Reloaded DVD, so if you don't have it, borrow a friend's. It'll probably be the funniest thing you've ever seen. well, one of them.


"Can you tell I'm wearing underwear? 'Cause I totally am."

Ok, there ya have it. wOOt, only 7 days till I can legally buy porn and cigarrettes! I'll be livin it up a week from today!

...........

(If you didn't think that was a joke, I feel really sorry for you.)

Awrigh', peace and (soon I'll be 18!) grease!

   wOOt, it's Saturday!

I love saturdays. You gots the week behind ja, and another day of the weekend ahead to finish your homework/college apps. Erm, he heh heh.

I went to some basketball tryouts today.They went allright, except I was sooooooo out of shape. Well, to amend that I went to the YMCA and picked up a schedual. Gotta start my kickboxing back up, maybe some ab workouts or something, too.

We bought Elf tonight for DVD. As always, I'll state my opinions on it later. ^_^

Ok, so since I'm Number 2 now, does that mean I can have some pompous attitude? No, I won't do that to you guys. It was just an entertaing though.

For those of you that know Mr. Iguana (Iggy) I talked to him last night and he's doing well. He's actually some Halo 2 prodigy in the online gaming world or sommat. He's thinking about coming back, but he's just really busy. So is Snow Fox, his sis.

RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
Never seen this movie, and I the rate I'm going (i.e. Van Helsing, Hellboy, Elf) I probably never will.



"Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it."

Said by what is probably one of the biggest pompous assholes in movie history, who no one understands anyway.

wOOt, just found out we're getting a new desktop with...*GASP* Windoes XP!!!Finally I can forgo this POS they call WindowsMe. But maybe this will be my downloading center comp, cause no one will care if it gets trashed at this point.

Oh, and I showed this too a bunch of people yesterday, but if you want to see some SUPER cool wallpaper (you have to pay for some of it, bleh) check out this site, you won't be dissapointed.

www.digitalblasphemy.com/dbhome.shtml

I'm not trying to diss the mounds of free wallpaper we get here at the Otaku, but you know, it's incase you want a little change from the anime once in a while.

Later, dudes! And don't forget to watch FMA!!!

   Friday Post Number 2!

The Number 2 Post for the Number 2 gal (haha, Enin, you know you like it)! Anyways, after I found out about my new rank, I pretty much bragged to all of my friends at school and shouted in the band room "I'm Number 2!!!", looking alot like this:


.......except I'm not old, bald, fat, and a raging maniac clergyman.

Oh, and speaking of which, I am now (thanks to some horrific hours on eBay) the proud owner of the FMA OST 1 (only 5 bucks, new!). It's even paid for which at 11 PM last night I didn't think was gonna happen. Long story.

That Spanish thing wasn't even collected, so I'll give that Spanish bitch a piece of my mind on Tuesday. Her parents are even Mexican, and she acts like the biggest "Like, duh!" girl I've ever seen. Lam-o.

I got some socca games (possibly) tomorrow. Not to mention some basketball tryouts for house league. Hell-o, I haven't played basketball since 8th grade. I'll wear my soccer uniform. And this damn thing just erased half my post. Grr...Anywho, what I said before this got erased, was that wearing my soccer uniform will be like saying in a subtle way "Yo, soccer's my first priority, but I can still kick all yo' asses." Escept not really, cause I'm a white girl who listens to Yellowcard, watches anime, and speaks Elvish. So I just won't even pretend.

Anyways, anyone else know about these mash up things? Where they usually combine rock and rap into one song? My radio station has like a two hour segment on Saturday nights, but the most popular song ever is the combo of Numb by Linkin Park and some song by Jay-Z. I like Linkin Park, I'm not so much a fan of rap though, I think it's cool they're trying to do something new, but already I'm sick of it. It's EVERYWHERE. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
If you haven't seen this movie, it's really a must. Speaking of movies, I wonder if I shall rent anything tonight. I've been going on a renting spree the past couple weeks.



"I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do. "

I've actually never seen this movie, I just wanted to try and stump someone. So don't feel bad if you can't get it, cause I can't either.

Allright, Peace and (I'm Number 2!) grease, yeeaaah!

   .........wow.
I'll most likely update again later, but I just wanted to thank everyone for making me number 2 on the memberlist! wow, 1 year ago, I was really happy to get in the top 100. I hope my day goes better, I was up till 2 am yesterday finishing an essay/talking to people (don't worry Duo, I don't blame you). Came into math today and found I had failed a test (merp) and then I had to write something for Spanish and founf out the the Word on the school comps don't have spanish spell check. I guess I have to put in the accents manualy. Don't worry, I'll make a cooler post later, maybe with a quiz or something. I just had to post now. Thanks again, everyone! Pocky for all! *Hands out pocky*

   mmmmmm......
Who wants to here about my eBay fiasco last night?

.............*silence*

Well, you're gonna hear anyway.

Ok, it all started when I was hanging around on the FMA offcila site, trying to downloads some musique, and my WMP couldn't read any of the files, allthough I upgraded it. So anywho, that went on for about half an hour, and i was getting really pissed off. I went over to amazon.com, watched a cool movie there(Agent Orange), and then searched around, but their resources in the FMA dept. were rather lacking. So I said, "Hey, I have an eBay account from that one time in 10th grade I tried to buy a red guitar for 3 bucks!" SO I went over there, found an FMA OST, and bid 5 bucks. I then realized I had to sign up with PayPal. Ok, the PayPal registration was not (and still is not) working. I'm like "Shit, what if I win this, and I have no way to pay the person? It was then I read all the offcial rules of the site and watched the "How-To" video. I'm like "Crap, I didn't do half this stuff. Damn nit." Now, 16 hours later, I'm still winning the bid, and still without way to pay. I tried to contact the dude, but that ain't workin neither. And eBay is real serious about bids being a buying agreement and what not.

So anyways, I won't be around much tonight cause I have a huge-ass essay to do. We won't do a movie quote today cause we're doing...

RED FLIPS FOR LONG HAIRED HOTTIES
Ok, first off, thanks for the suggestions, Irish.
I still have to get off my ass and see this.
Haha, kinda looks like Mr. Grin!

And here's some more I thought of!
Rock out, Kurt!
Ok, vampires and vampire hunters are hot now. We know it.
Why didn't we think of our good friend from Troy sooner?

Ok, anyone have any long haired hotties to submit, feel free. And guys, I suppose you can sumit women too.

Ok, I hope PayPal works soon!

EDIT: Ok, my site has no blown up in my face, PayPal's still being a bitch, and this REALLY STUPID GIRL IN MY SPANISH CLASS WHO SHOULD DIE AND STOP BEING SUCH A STUPID BITCH AND MAKE ME WANNA KICK THE BAJEEZUS OUT OF HER has now made me type up some crap for Spanish when SHE WON'T EVEN BE FRICKIN SHOWING UP TO CLASS......I hate my life.
