   Eh, Lunes...que triste.
So, last night, I went to Narutofan.com or whatever that site is(it rocks!) and I learned all the hand seals! So being the dork I am, I went through the whole day practicing them and showing them to all my friends in school, soccer, and at home. I can sufficiently make the dragon-serpent-ox-tiger combo, which I'm thinking of a name to shout while I do it, and what technique I would be. I'm thinking the Explaoding-Inferno_no-Jitsu attack. Or maybe not.



In other news, the orchestra still SUCKS at FOTR and POTC. Those sad saps.

Oh, funny thing I saw today. I saw a guy on a hot red motor cycle, with the liscense plate "Kaneda", haha! I was this close <...> to yelling out the window "TETSUO!" to get a reaction. I wonder if he gets that much.

Oh, picked up a new book the other day. It's called Shawdow Mancer. It takes place in Scotland or something in the 1700s and it's a bout you know, corrupt church people wanting all these dark powers and kids fighting them. It's pretty good so far. Apparently, it outsold the first Harry Potter book in the UK. When I finish it, I'll tell you if it's REALLY worth a look-see.

Go Niko, it is Revenge of the Nerds 1. Are the sequels worth even seeing?


"The boy is dangerous. They all sense it, why can't you?"

Haha, before you ask, no, it's not Agent Cody Banks. Or Home Alone. Or anything with Haley Joel Osment.

So long, farewell, something in French, goodbye.

   Hey der. It's Sunday.
So I FINALLY got to see an entire episode of Wolf's Rain last night. It was good. I LOVE Tsume!


Ok, so all you FMA fans are probably thinking "Dude, it's Scar, but in leather." And you know what? YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. Except Scar's a bit more of a homicidal church-goin man, and Tsume can change into a wolf. Uh, other than that, they're like eachother...ok, not really. But my point is, check it out, it's really good.

Haha, and I thought the first Inuyasha ep they showed, "Shippo's First Love", was only fitting, considering the weird role playing Shanny, Beck, Aurus and I had done earlier. I was Shippo, Aurus was Ash, Beck was Tetsu, and Shanny was Yahiko. See, this game, we put all anime characters into levels based on skill(those people are all Level One's) and then we act out a fight. Needless to say, it got pretty weird, what with everybody ending up eating hotdogs, and Shippo and Pikachu both being called rats by Tetsu and Yahiko. Anyways, if anyone wants to try the game, and is too lazy to think up levels themselves, I will make a list and put it in my intro, in case you're in need of characters to choose from.

Oh just wanted to note I finally picked out a prom dress. I betcha can't guess what color!

Oh, and I'm adding a new column into my posts. It's called:

TIGRESS' MOVIE THOUGHTS
Today's Topic:
Middle Age Director's Crisis

I also saw Peter Pan this weekend. I left after 45 minutes. Didn't think it was so good. Plot-wise. The effects were nice. But I mean, I'm begging to think directors go through middle age crisis, in which they remake a movie that's not up to fluff most of the time. Case in point: Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes. WHAT'S WITH THAT? Did anyone like that? I mean, be honest. Let's see, another director's middle age crisis...oh, that Independence Day director guy, when he made Godzilla. At the time, I was in 5th grade, and I thought it was really cool. I also thought Matthew Brodrick was a looker at the time(now he's 40). Anyways, thinking back on it now, it's like "Who comes up with this bantha fodder?" Granted, most people wouldn't use the words "bantha fodder" in a sentence, but I think it's nicer given the alternaive, and because a good 94% og the population have no clue what a banther is.

You'll notice I've created this column to talk more about my only talent, which is watching movies.

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Meh, speaking of movies, since I only had 2 comments yesterday, the quote's still on.

Later, folks.

   OH, IT'S FINALLY OVER
OH THE U.S. HISTORY AP EXAM IS FINALLY OVER!

That being said, I can't say what's on it, cause a proctor could find me and...kill me...or something...or bomb my test scores. Some weird shit like that.

It was hard, but not so hard I shit myself, you know?

So anyways, that's what I've been doing the past couple weeks, and now that I'm back I can download like, 10 Narutos at a time and watch them, hehe.


And once again, no one has any idea what Naruto is doing.

I also went looking for a prom dress yesterday. I'm very particular. I only liked about 3 dresses in 5 stores. Hrm. That's still a problemo.

Soccer today was good. We tied. I had some wicked saves if I do say so myself. Of course, watching Bend it Like Beckham before the match helped. And that's after I watched about 2 1/2 hours of bad cartoons. Ok, Shaman King on Fox wasn't sooooo bad, considering they show all those "Americanized" animes now. You know what WAS bad? Power Rangers, of course. Especially when I found out that Tommy, the original white ranger, is a PALENTOLOGIST! HA! But he was involved in some plot that involved a NEW evil white ranger. Talk about your crappy repeats. And DIgimon was ok, too. And can someone tell me why it seems that every time I watch Spiderman it seems to be the SAME episode, you know, with the vampire guy and Spiderman actually turing into a giant spider, which was gross, weird, and boring all at the same time.

Anyway, my point was, now I'm back, so you don't have to fret.

Not like I was really gone...

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
hehe, go blondes! Ok, not so much...

Sorry, this movie lacks in the picture department.

"No one will really be free until nerd persecution ends."

Heh, I also watched Super Secret Movie Rules: Teen Sex Comedy today on VH1. You should check it out.

Ciao, baby.

   Woah!
Cool site updates, huh? I especially like the new quiz manager, where you can see EVERY QUIZ I'VE EVER TAKEN!!!

Yes, this week is AP week, so I'll make my posts few and far between...well, than I usually do.

The orchestra SUCKS at LOTR. They've had it MONTHS and they've been SLAUGHTERING it. The 8 band kids have had it a weekend and we can all play it better. Plus, they are the most undisciplined musicians I've EVER seen. They sit there eating, listening to headphones, talking, and obviously don't give a crap. It makes me very angry. They've also slaughtered their POTC music(that we don't get to play).

If you are actually in a good orchestra, I apologize, but my opinion's not very high of anyone with a stringed instrument(excluding guitar and bass guitar) at the moment.

Let's see, I also played a white trash soccer team this weekend, complete with a lesbo that kept touching me in all the wrong places while she was gurading me. Plus she was stupid and dead-ugly too. We lost. Meh. But you don't have to say you're sorry, cause I'm not. If I see them in All-Stars, I'LL KICK THEIR WHITE TRASH ASS ALL THE WAY TO FRICKIN BRITISH COLUMBIA! Not near SG's house, though.

Did lifeguard recerts. Don't know if I passed yet.

Saw FMA 30. VERY confused.

Got a 1 at Solo and Ensemble. Happy.

Saw Love Actually. Happy.

Read article about cicadas. Learned there can be 1 million per square acre. Scared.

Heh heh. Ok, later dudes and dudettes.

   wOOt it's SATURADAY!
And after watching Love,Actually, I feel pretty good. I love the English folk, heh heh. Uh, what was I gonna say?

OH YEAH!

Well, once a year, the top band usually selects a few people(like the 1st chair) of each section to play with the top orchestra. Anyways, this year they're doing it with the other band and orchestra too. So naturally, being first chair *flashes a smile* I get to do it. I nearly flipped my lid when I found out what we were playing...

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING

At this point, I was actually falling off my chair. I even have a solo in the Shire theme. It goes something like:

"Do do dooo dooo, do do do, didoo. Dadoo do DOOO dee doo, dee doo, deedodo..." and so on and so forth. If you actually know what part of the song I'm talking about, kudos.

So anyway, that's been like the only good news the entire week. Seeing as how on Friday I have the History AP test *thunder booms and George Washington throws a scantron followed by a book on the Gilded Age*. Not to mention I also have another history test, a math test, a Spanish test, an English test, a Physics test, a lifeguard test, and probably after this week, a sanity test.

I am SO watching multitudes of anime tonight. And maybe some Bend it Like Beckham. Cause that movie makes me feel good. And not cause Kiera Knightly's in it. I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, ignore that last comment.

Ok, now I'm off to a socca game. Yay, time to kick some arse.

   Is it just me, or is someone always changing the 'backroom' layout?
Anyways, I haven't been as up to date on posts as I should. A combination between studying for tests(History AP and Lifeguard) and trying to figure out the tunes that SG writes on his page.

So anyways, I don't gots a lot to say. Oh, I saw FMA 28(I thought that was a wee bit boring) and I saw PMK 19, and all I can say is Susumu better exact his revenge. The best part was definently at the end where Tatsu tips the ladder as Tetsu's coming down.

Finished the Great Gatsby a week before we had to(my class moves SLOW). There's only 9 chapters, people! Anyways, definently one of the better books I've read for school. Then again, most things written in the 20th century are(with the exception of Kafka's "The Metamorphisis" and some other book we had to read last year, "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich"). So, if you have some free time, I'd reccomend it. Now, I'm back to reading "The Three Musketeers". It's long, but it's totally worth it, and full of action and plotting, and comedy, and romance! That book's got everything. It's better than the movie, with that ass, Chris O'Donnel. It's MUCH more fun to imagine Orlando Bloom in the part of d'Artagan with his little POTC outfit....*dramatic sigh*



*Drools*

Moving on...

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Well, no one got the movie, but kudos to whoever said Christopher Walken, that's amazing you could pick that out. Anyways, the movie was Joe Dirt.


"Our daddy may have Advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage. But he is a very gentle person!"

HAHA, I love this movie. Definently one of the more mature comedies, though.

Lata folks!

   I had a busy weekend.
Sorry I didn't update. But on Saturday morning, I had to go to solo and ensemble festival and play. For the first time I didn't have a 50 year old grumpy fat man for a judge, which was nice, cause me and the chick had a very long convo before i actually started playing. From there, I went to a soccer game. We one, but it was right next to the airport, so I kept staring at all the planes(and this ain't no ninny airport either, this is WASHINGTON DULLES INTERNATION AIRPORT!!! *rumble* Anyways, I slide tackled some chick and got a huge scrabe on the back of my thigh and it hurt like a bitch to put on pants for two days and I couldn't sleep on my left side, either.

After that, I saw KILL BILL VOL. 2!!! Personally, I think it rocked, and I think some guy would agree with me. David Carridine was funny I thought, even if he did have too much monolougue. Then I came home (missed the 1st Inuyasha and Wolf's Rain) but saw the 2nd Inuyasha, FLCL(still don't get it), and the ever popular Bebop and Trigun combo(sounds like some kind of thing from McDonalds).

After getting about 5 hours of sleep, I had to get up again to go to lifeguard recertification classes. My scrape hurt like a bitch. But the class was ok. Except when I take the test next week, I'm gonna have to not only do multiple choice, but also short answer and an essay. FOR A LIFEGUARD TEST. man, life blows.

Oh, today I also heard that the sequel to Ghost in the Shell (Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence) is coming out this summer, for all you anime-savvy people.

Anyone know why all the little color options for posts dissapeared?

   My Day at the Blood Drive!
Well, today, I started off school all good, talking about my Jackson head to everyone in my art class. And then I scooted off to the blood drive instead of AP history.

So, I get there, with my pass and my book. I see my friend. "Skipping out on AP history?" she says. "Haha, yeah." I figured I'd make it for the last half hour of class. So, then they sit me down and have me fill out a questionaire. It was mostly filled with who I've had sex with(uh, no one, thanks). And also lots of questions about drugs(none of those either).

After this woman asked me the same questions, she pricked my finger and got a drop of blood. She then put it in a little jar of blue crap. "If this sinks to the bottem in less than 15 seconds, you have enough iron to spare." I counted. It took 5 1/2. No iron deffciency here.

She then manuvered me over to a chair, where one girl was finishing up. The woman there spent like, 10 minutes looking for the best place to prick me and tied off my arm with the piece of rubber. The whole time, I'm thinking to myself:

"Heh, as an epileptic, they take blood out of me all the time, damn people. This shouldn't be any...WOAH, THAT'S A BIG NEEDLE!"

The needle goes into my arm. Being the sick phycho I am, I'm watching the whole thing, while squeezing the little rubber heart. I even watch the bag fill up. Another girl comes over to our little area and sits on another pool deck chair thing. As soon as they stick her with the needle, she nearly faints. Then it turned into like an ER, as 3 people ran over to her, got her lying down, and stuck ice packs all on her body.

I'm watching the whole thing with mild amusement. I'm about 3/4ths done at this point. I'm thinking to myself "Heh heh, poor sucker, she shouldn't have done it, if she's gonna go all fainty...actually, I feel kinda hot."

Number one rule during a blood drive: Don't panic.

I didn't know this rule at the time. My arm was already cramping up, and I was finding it harder and harder to squeeze the little rubber heart. Suddenly, my back breaks out in a cold sweat. "Now I kinda know what Legolas feels like in all those angst fanfics..." I'm thinking. I start breathing harder. "I'm never doing this again. This is all they're gettin' from me." I open my eyes, and I notice my vision's kinda swimming to the right. Then the nurse comes over. "Are you ok?" she asks. "Uh, heh heh, that's a good question," I say. "Actually, I'm feeling kinda faint." Then she calls over this huge black guy, who slaps some ice packs onto my chest and the back of my neck. That helps a little. But all I wanna do is sleeeeeep...

"Don't close your eyes!" he says.

Sleeeeeeep...

"Don't close 'em! Start coughing!" I weakly cough. I have no idea what this is supposed to accomplish. Then the nurse chick says "All done!"

I sit there for like ten minutes. Then I feel fine cause the black dude kept bringing me apple juice. "How are you doing?" he asks. "I think I'm ready to go." He lets me sit on the side of the pool deck chair thing, but not move from there for 5 more minutes. Finally, he lets me go back to the refreshment table, where I'm required to stay a minimum of ten minutes. I stay half an hour, chatting it up with some seniors and my spanish teacher. Finally, after I've drunk a whole bottle of water and eaten multiple peanuts and girl scout cookies, I'm ready to depart. I go back to AP history class with 10 minutes left(the class is 90 minutes, or the length of a professional soccer game. With no half time).

My teacher sees my blood drive pass. I notice the class is quiet, as they're all taking a test. "Oh shit..."I think to myself. "Did you have to do that now?!" she demands. I sputter something so incoherent, even I don't remember what I said. But she was really pissed. So now I have to stay after school two days next week to make it up.

Throughout the day, I had to piss like a racehorse, cause I'd been drinking so much fluid. And eating so much junk food. I'm not allowed to excercise for like, 24 hours. They're incouraging obesity here!

Anyways, I'm fine now. Don't let my experience deiscourage you, blood helps so much, and fainting doesn't happen to a lot of people. Plus the fact that it was my first time, probably didn't help.

Not to mention you can help save up to three lives. Or so they say.

   Dilema time.
This is the post where I complain about various dilemas.

1. The US History AP test is in like, two weeks. Heh heh. I bet most of you didn't even know we HAD a President Polk! Or a Mexican War! MWHAHAHA, WE KICKED THEIR ASSES, THOUGH. BUT ONLY TO GAIN TEXAS, PLUS MULTIPLE WESTERN TERRITORIES. MWHAHAHA! *goes crazy*

2.I need to get certified to teach archery for my summer job, so I can continue to kick ass, and look good while doing it. However, the clases are two days during the last week of school. This county sucks, we don't get out till June 18th. Anyone get out later? Huh? Naw, didn't think so.

3. Some random search engine has taken over my computer, because every time a certain words appears (i.e. hotel, gambling, job) it creates a link. It's very distracting, especially while reading fanfiction. "He did a good job of hiding his feelings." Ok, first off, Legolas is NOT looking for a job on monster.com, or whereever. Secondly, I'm not looking for a job.

4. My Windows Media Player won't start. It doesn't start when I double click the short cut, right click and press 'open' try to open it from the tool bar, or try to open it from the menu. If anyone knows as to why this is occuring, please let me know. It's driving me nuts.

5.I have a huge scab on my shin from astro turf getting caught between my shin guard and my leg.

6.Solo and Ensemble(where muscians practice their guts out for no definitive purpose) is this Saturday, and I have no one to play the piano accompinment. Oh well, hope the judge likes VERY soloistic people.

7. I can't think of anything funny to say recently.

8.PETER JACKSON'S HEAD IS FINALLY PAINTED, BUT NOW I HAVE TO COVER HIM IN THIS GOOP WHICH MAKES HIM LOOK REALLY GREASY.

9.My panish tutor hasn't returned my Kill Bill DVD.

10. THERE'S A SPIDER ON MY ARM!

11.No one's around.

12. Dagger, when is AS gonna play Ghost in the Shell?

Meh, that's about it for now.

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Way to go, Beckster, Hunt for Red October it is!
