   Ah, Sunday.
The deay of rest is finally upon us. However, yesterday I had alot of fun, too. Mainly shopping! I bought a pair of $80 Nikes(red, of course) in the hopes that I'll be inspired to run more. Then I was so cheap and tasteless, cause I wrapped my friend's birthday gift in the tissue paper from it. I also bought a pair of Teva sandals, which was nice cause I love those sandals, and haven't bought a pair in years. My mom was paying for all this, i don't have any money for myself. Then I spent alot of money at Aeropostale(how do you pronouce that?), but that was my mom's fault, cause she kept shoving sales money in my arms to buy.

Ok, enough about my shopping trip. Ok, warning to slash readers-you're not going to like my next vent.

Ok, so I put a fic up that said no slash, and then on the inside I wrote about how I hated slash and would never write it(looking back, this might not have been the best thing to do). And I got two near-flames from slash likers, "Oh, you shouldn't do that, that's insulting, blah blah blah." Dudes, I'm entitled to my own opinion, get with the program! I'll probably apologize anyway, but it still makes me a little angry.

******End Vent*******

Ok, now for a little happier times, we're having...

AQUAMAN SAYS!!!



Today, Aquaman says:

"If you have a hand made out of water, don't try and drink it."

You'll notice this kick ass Aquaman isn't riding around on a giant seahorse. He's actually useful in the JLA.

   finally friday
school kinda sucked today, seeing as how I found out my grades..........

I think if anything else, they proove I am skilled in the arts and language, and nothing else.

MOVING ON.......

Tonight, I saw my school's International Show(after watching The Rock for three hours...nothing like some bio terrorism, an ex-James Bond and a Ferrari/Humvee chase through the streets of San Fran to make you feel better).

Anyways, the scool kicked ass! First was the fashion part, where people wore various styles of Indian, Korean, Chinese, and South American clothing(NO Japanese stuff! An outrage!) And then one person played some Blue Grass on a fiddle (Riddermark, heh heh...inside joke), then some people dance to some Boa music, in which one girl fell on her face when she twisted her ankle. Then there was a Lion Dance, which was really cool! You know where the Chinese guys are the big lion and it blinks and does cool stuff...sorry if I offend anyone, I don't know any terminology, here. Then one girl did belly dancing, which was cool. You have to have abs and buns of steel to do that, I swear. Then some people did an Indian Dance, and they saved the best for last....THE MARTIAL ARTS. I don't know what kind it was, other than that it was Chinese. Some kids did free form, then two white kids did sparring, which was awsome, and then the first two guys came back with swords, which kicked ass.

And now I'm here, to give you all my quote of the day!

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Everyone guessed correctly! Go you!


"I'll have the plumbing checked immediately, [name]."
"See that you do. If I'd been drinking out of the toilet, I might've been killed."

This movie's a classic. Ok, I probably say that about every movie, so deal with it =p

   howdy hay!
Well, so stories to report of standardized testing. It's over, for my junior year, anyway. Then I still got senior year, and college, and whatever the hell else I'll face in life.

It's been a lazy day. None of the seniors were at school, so we didn't do anything in any class. Except in band class, where we played BS and the guy next to me sucked and kept putting down what I was supposed to put down instead of him. We also talked about the terrorist attacks in Madrid. That's a bit of a problem, cause my Spanish class is going to Spain in a month. We're just praying it wasn't Al Queda. If you don't know what I'm talking about you SERIOUSLY need a lesson in current affairs.

Since we don't have standardized testing quotes, we're having an episode of...

NIGHTWING SAYS!


Today, Nightwing says:

"Hanging out with live bats can give you rabies."

He should know! He was the first Robin, after all!

Rock on, it's Mulan! My 2nd fav Disney movie(after Lion King)

Ok, ciao, lords and ladies!

   More standardized testing?
Ah, yes, today was the essay portion of the Virginia Standards of Learning. I had so much fun writing it though! The prompt was "If you could make a rule that everyone had to follow, what would it be?" My rule was everyone needed to be polite. My first paragraph covered politeness in school. Here's an excerpt:

"In school, you will be walking behind someone one second, and the next thing you know, your face is firmly planted into their backpack because they didn't have the courtesy to move over to talk to their friends. Lack of courtesy is the number one cause of nose injuries."

Yes, I actually wrote that. Here's another:

"On the homefront, when someone orders me to wash the dishes instead of asking politely, I feel extreme bitterness towards my kinsman."

And another:

"On the bus, since the ride is not that long anyway, you should give up your seat to an elderly person. The number one cause of bus injuries is elderly people falling on top of someone because they did not have a place to sit. It is a shame that through lack of courtesy, we cannot eliminate this problem all together."

And so on and so forth, until in the last paragraph I mentioned "All the afore mentioned incidents have happened to me."

If you take this approach to YOUR standardized tests, you too can have a great time instead of a boring one.

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Uh, sorry, the quote yesterday was from Kingpin.


"I need a miracle."
"DID I HEAR SOMEONE ASK FOR A MIRACLE? LET ME HEAR YA SAY 'I'!"
"AYEEEEEE!"
"That's close enough. Have no fear, [name]. Your salvation is at hand."

Ciao, folks!

   Feeling a bit better today.
I FINALLY got the 22nd ep of FMA to download. Took long enough, till 10:30 to be precise. But today my friend didn't have the keys to his house, so I made him come over to mine and watch FMA instead! We watched episodes 1-3, 5 cause it introduced Hughes, and of course the best one, number 13, Flam vs. Full Metal, where we see Mustang's TRUE personality emerge *cough*miniskirts*cough*. Needless to say, he loved it.

Let's see, anything interesting happen in la escuela hoy? Nada. Except my band teacher complained to me about another student, HAHA! I am the ultimate band guru, I know all...ANYways...

Hehe, no this movie doesn't have anything to do with food...

   DAMN TECHNOLOGY TO HELL!
AFTER THE MOST RECENT CRASH BY MY COMPUTER, THE DAMN THING HAS DECIDED TO START ALL MY DOWNLOADS OVER AGAIN INSTEAD OF PICKING UP WHERE IT LEFT OFF, INCLUDING MY KENSHIN EPISODES AND LATEST FULL METAL ALCHEMIST! THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF! WINDOWS F'ING ME SHOULD BE TORN OUT OF THE VERY PLAINS OF EXISTANCE AND CAST INTO THE FIRES OF INFERNO THAT MAKE UP HELL, AFTER BEING FANGORIOUSLY DEVOURED BY SATAN HI,HIMSELF AND THEN BEING SOILED AND HUNG UP TO DRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh* that being said, school blew, got another bad test grade, but our English standardized test was a joke that I was tempted to write all over the test booklet: "You asinine idiots throughoghly perplex me as to your specious reasoning on this exam. If this can even be called an exam at all, I am an inept half-wit who knows nothing of the ways of the world."

Idiots.

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
I'll just leave the quote up from yesterday, because at the time of this post only two people have seen it and I take it they didn't know what it was. Keep trying.

I'll be around after I smash my computer to pieces and cast it into the fires of Hell to incinerate along with mullets and keytars. Toodeloo!

I'm so sorry!
I'm so sorry I haven't been to anyone's sites this week, and I regret it deeply. Sorry sorry sorry sorry! Gomen ne! Lo siento! *wails*

Here at the Red Tigress Institute, we are always trying something new. Yesterday, it was Tigress goes to the movies. Today, it is...

SPIDEY SAYS!
Today, Spidey says:

"Don't climb buildings or you'll fall off."

This has been another exciting editon of...SPIDEY SAYS!

Ok, so that was a bit lame. Maybe tomorrow, someone else will have something less lame to say.

In OTHER news, I finally finished FMA1-21, so now I can talk Barry with you other chaps.

In other, other news, anyone watch Alias? I did! Ok, that's all for that...

Oh, and Rustym thinks Gandalf can kick Darth Maul's ass cause Darth Maul didn't do anything. Except die. And I heartily agree! Thanks for your input, Rustym. Maybe sometime we can have an edition of...

RUSTYM SAYS!

But not today, I am too tired.

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
'Tis a shame no one got...BLADE 2.

Good guess on whoever said Die Hard, though, I actually watched that last night.

"Well, would you like to know what you'd be without us, the good ol' U.S. of A. to protect you? I'll tell you. The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire, that's what. So don't call me stupid, lady. Just thank me."

Haha, THIS movie is a classic. I'll give you some fish and chips if you get it!

Tata, folks!

Mae govenan, mellon nin!
Hey there! Today, we had dun, dun, DUN! Band Festival! My solo went ok (hehe, I thought of you, SG!) and we got all 2's and a 1 in sight reading. No too bad. Anyways, I thought I'd try something new today.

TIGRESS GOES TO THE MOVIES
Yes, today I saw Reuturn of the King AGAIN! So, I thought I'd talk about it, AGAIN!

**WARNING:SPOILERS AND IF YOU'RE SICK OF THIS MOVIE, DON'T READ**

Ok, rule NUMERO UNO! Don't go to the Best Picture/Director/Adapted Screenplay/Costumes/Score/Song/Sound Editing/what ever the Hell else it won Movie the week after Oscars.

IT WAS PACKED! There were people sitting in the aisles, for Christ's sake! So I was there in my Trigun t-shirt, the Otaku that I am, thinking about what I could possibly say in my post. One other thing; no one cheered. Ever. The closest anyone ever got was a small little "yeah!" by me when Gandalf beat up on Denothor. After that, no one picked it up, and I shut up the rest of the movie. Since I was in the back row, I raised my arms in a fist of triumph when:

The Witch King Appeared,
Gandalf beat the crap out of Denothor,
Eowyn kicked the crap out of the Witch King,
Eomer got the crazy look in his eyes and kicked the crap out of the the Haradrim,
Eowyn took down the Mumakil,
Legolas took down the Mumakil,
Aragorn and co. jumped out of the Corsair boat,
Denothor died,
Pippen killed the orc,
The eagles kicked the crap out of the Fell Beasts,
and when
Shadowfax kicked the crap out of Denothor.

Pretty good list if I do say so myself. Ok here's another list of things I noticed:

The Witch King makes a sound like a deflating balloon when imploading on himself.
Theoden sees the Fellbeast and get's the "Oh, crap, what now?" look in his eyes.
All those people should start a "Club Roy-al" where anyone who's a Crown Prince, prince, princess, king, queen, or steward's son can join.
I wanna learn to speak Haradrim!
Piggy Orc has more lines than Legolas. For that matter, so does the Witch King. And probably every other orc around.
What the Hell hapened to Piggy Orc to make him look like that?
No person should have feet as hairy as Sam's daughter.
Who would win a light saber/staff duel, Darth Maul or Gandalf?
I need to stop saying every one of Elrond's lines.Or inserting "Mr. Anderson" where I don't know them.

So there you have it. Yet another look at Return of the King.

***********ROTK END**********

In other news, I have now seen FMA episodes 1-15, and am about to watch 16. In yet other news, I have to finish watching Underworld. Needless to say, that movie is...interesting. Speaking of which, full moon tonight!

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Jeez, you type this into a search and you get numerous pics of old-fashioned diners in rural America. AKA, West Virginia.


"You obviously do not KNOW WHO YOU'RE FUCKING WITH!"

Ok, just HAD to put that one in there. It's so good.Ciao, baby!

   The procrastinating monkey got me again!
..................

Perhaps it's best not to ask.

ANYways, I saw Fullmetal Alchemist episode 9! Of course, there's no one to chat about the episodes with cause NO ONE'S ONLINE! *hint, hint* But man, that episode seven still gives me creeps, man. Actually, so does the freaky cross-dressing, butchering, homicidal maniac in episode 8...

Nothing much going on here. I'd just like to take a time out to thanks you all for coming to visit me ^____^ It's been getting harder to get around to all your sites lately.

Oh, today in art I started on Peter Jackson's head. Turns out, we have to make his head out of cardboard(tape it all together) then paper-mache it, THEN put clay on it. THis project's going to be a bitch, man. Cripes.

Well, my episode 10 of FMA ain't goin to fast, but my 11's rolling along. I've been stuck on 94% for GTO for four days now, that doesn't look like it's gonna happen any time soon. Meh.

Oh, can someone tell me why all of a sudden every web page I go to has SUPER large text, including this one? I checked the appearence feature on the display settings, but that's not it. Arrrggghhh!


He's 15, but he still kicks major ass! But hey, so did Harry Potter. And alot of other people who I can't think of right now...oh yeah! Alanna the Lioness from that...book...uh...Song of the Lioness series? Yeah. Who else is 15 and kicks ass? Name your fav!

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Ok, no answers from last time, except it must hurt like a bitch to have your foot stepped on by a 30 foot mammel with huge, spikey tusks, and a tember like a Spanish bull who just swallowed too much hot sauce. Or if you prefer, an olipahnt, or mumakil. Whatever. Here's today's quote!

"Your middle name is Ralph, as in puke, your birth date's March 12th, you're 5'9 and a half, you weigh 130 pounds and your social security number is 049380913."
"Wow. Are you psychic?"
"No."
"Well, would you mind telling me how you know all this about me?"
"I stole your wallet."

Allrighty, then, ciao, folks.

DAMN COMPUTERS!
Arrgghh, I came home today, and it took me two hours to get on the internet. TWO HOURS! IT'S INSANE, I TELL YE! So basically I just watched my 5 FMA episodes for two hours, which isn't bad, but I want some new ones already! Oh well, I should have the next one in an hour or so if all goes well.

In art class, we're going to have to make another sculpture. This one has to be of a person's head/face, neck and shoulders. We have to pick our person and bring in lots of pics. And guess who I'm picking?......have you guessed yet?........

PETER JACKSON!

How cool is that? When I'm done, I'll put it on my shelf right next to my Gollum and Argonath statues and Extended Editons! Yay! I'm so excited!

Well, pretty boring day other than I pretty much know the chorus for one of the FMA songs. Kimi no te de...yeah, I forget the rest already. Oh well, at least i have an activity for when my internet doesn't work.

TIGRESS' FANTASTICAL MOVIE QUOTE
Yay, Return of the King! Sorry, Irish, that I didn't have any Merry and Pip quotes. But Pip's my fav hobbit too!

<--"Ok, who took the moisturizing lotion?"
<----"HOLY CRAP, an oliphant stepped on my FOOT!"
<-"Yippee Kay-yay, mofo, check out MY ride!"
