The rude and crude

There are two particular things that have been annoying the hell out of me lately because it’s been happening a lot.

One is when someone constantly opens (or tries to) the door without even knocking no matter how many times you tell him or her to knock first.

My family is the worst, especially my mom, she’s nuts, love her, but she’s pretty nuts. I’ll have my bedroom door locked and I hear her trying to turn the knob, and when it doesn’t open, she keeps on turning it ten more times like it’s eventually going to open by itself, but she’ll never knock or say, “Hey can I come in?” She refuses to be polite so she keeps on turning it until someone on the other side notices it.

I don’t know, I just get anal about it, because no one ever knocks nowadays. You know, some doors don’t even have locks or they’re broken. Recently, I went into a public single restroom and the lock wasn’t working. As I was doing my business, I felt a little nervous that some annoying asshole might catch me wiping my ass.

It didn’t happen because someone actually knocked five seconds later, as to which I replied, “Uh…yeeeeeAH!”

What do you say when someone knocks at the restroom door anyway? It rarely happens to me. Anyway, I was thankful and I already knew the guy was likeable because he knows how to knock. Bless his little heart.

So here’s the other one. I hate it when people ask me how much I get paid whenever I get an acting gig.

I don’t mind if people do, but there are some assholes out there who are constantly asking me the same question, and it’s the only question (besides asking me if I landed any jobs). They don’t care about what my role is and what the story line is, and anything else that actually has to do with whatever project I’m involved in. They’re just (desperately) curious as to how much I’m making.

Seriously, that’s rude. The next person that asks gets a turd thrown at their face.

FAQ: Are you crazy?

A: No, I just have telekinetic abilities. That’s all.

Sincerely,
Tiff

More Olympics and more of me!

Just when I thought the Olympics wouldn’t be exciting anymore now that Michael Phelps is done in competing for swimming, which by the way, if you’ve been living under a rock, he earned all eight gold medals in all eight of his finals (yeah, psssssss hot), the US women’s and men’s beach volleyball team came to our rescue by taking took gold! Jes! Both of them!

I watched both of the games and both were tremendously thrilling to watch since it certainly wasn’t an easy game for both teams. It’s usually seems easy for them to win because they’re always ahead of the game—I’m always expecting them to win. However, in the finals, their opponents were as skilled as they were, and for the first time in beach volley history, fear had struck my heart.

In the end, they (we) won. A huge congratulation to Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh from the women’s team, and Philip Dalhausser (HOT) and Todd Rogers from the men’s. You guys deserve every bit of that gold medal.

Now I’ll be waiting for The Redeem Team aka US men’s basketball team to “redeem” themselves.

Back to my life, I just received my dvd of Dexter season 2 in the mail and I’m excited to watch it…after the Olympics are over of course! I don’t have Showtime, so this is going to be my first time watching it.

Acting is going fine. I have a script I have to go over asap, since I’ll be filming for an indie film tomorrow. I decided not to go to school for a semester…possibly for a whole year just to pursue acting. I actually don’t want to go to school anymore, but I’ll just tell them that I’m taking a “break”. My mom’s obviously not happy about it, and it bugs me the crap out of me.

My whole family plays it safe. They believe that if you drop out of college, you automatically have no future, which is absolutely not true at all.

When I transferred to a university, I found out that I had to take a year’s worth of general ed. Yeah, I have to waste my future away by taking MORE useless classes that doesn’t have anything to do with my major for a full year, and it’s all for some college degree.

Anyways, I’m not saying that everyone shouldn’t go to college I just don’t think I need it at the moment.

I can haz cheeseburgers

Do you know what’s made of awesome?

Cheeseburgers

Not only are they full of deliciousness, but they make great utilities and accessories, such as phones, toasters, pencils, hats, and the like.

The one that I’m holding in this photo is actually not a cheeseburger! It’s a CD holder, holding my CDs, disguised as a cheeseburger. Clever isn’t it?

It’s my first step to collecting them all.

Anyways, next topic, Myspace referrers.

The one thing I hate about Myspace is that the myspace links on your referrer pages does not direct you to the actual link. It always goes to here.

Today, I noticed that that I’ve had about five referrers coming from a certain Myspace page, and I’d like to know where the hell it’s coming from.

So if you’ve found my page from a Myspace page/bulletin/blog/etc, can you please tell me exactly where it’s coming from?!? You’re killin me smalls!

Beijing Olympics controversies

There’s been quite a few controversies that has been heavily discussed about the current Olympics held in Beijing, and since I’m a lover of Olympics and rumors, it’s only right for me to discuss some of the important ones.

First one is about a young girl who performed “Ode to Motherland” during Beijing’s opening. It was a delightful performance, but it turns out that she was lip-syncing! Lip-syncing wasn’t the problem actually, because the voice that was used belonged to a some other little girl, Yang Peiyi, and she wasn’t used because she wasn’t cute enough.

At first, I laughed. I know, I’m a jerk, it was pure comedy for me, but as I kept thinking about the situation and how Yang would’ve felt, my heart just dropped for the poor little undercover singer.

I can only imagine how the conversation had went…

“Hey Tiff, we love your voice, but we found a much cuter chick that’ll make this country look better. She can’t sing for shit, so we’re going to use your voice for her to lip-sync. Thanks!”

Yeah you’re welcome you selfish superficial sucking cocks!

When I first heard about it, I thought, “Man, this girl must be ugly as hell for them to only use her voice”, but when I looked at her photo and the photo of the imposter, I couldn’t even tell the difference between the two, except one’s hair is longer than the other, but other than that, all kids look a like:

Second story is about underage gymnasts from China. In order to participate in gymnastics for the Olympics you have to be at least 16 years old, but some of the girls of the Chinese Olympic team are supposedly younger than that.

China is denying the reports saying legal documents were shown, but I say fuck the documents. Fuck it. The cold hard evidence is THEM. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that these girls haven’t even reached the age of 16 yet.

You decide:

Sixteen my ass. I could pass for their mother if I looked sixteen again.

And third, is this picture of Spain’s basketball team doing slit-eyed gestures:

They don’t consider it to be inappropriate, but have they ever thought about the possible countless negative reactions that they’re about to receive from other people?

They remind me of the kind of friends I use to have that would make racist remarks right in front of you and they’d be about your or your background, but they have no idea that it could be incredibly offensive, and because it was not their intentions to hurt you, you can only forgive them for being so dumb.

Yeah, that’s how I see it with those guys. If they didn’t mean to insult us, then I can let it slide, but still, that’s a pretty dumb picture, assholes.

Olympics and Michael Phelps

I haven’t updated in a while, I’ve been completely hooked on watching Beijing Olympics. It’s so ridiculous, man; I’m sitting on my couch all day watching the games. But that’s alright, it only happens every four years.

Yesterday the US men’s relay team (with Phelps) won 1st, beating the shit talking French by a hair, and it was awe-somely glorious. I was eating at a restaurant called BJs with my friends last night and they had the Olympics on TV, so I was able to watch them win victory.

Michael Phelps is getting hotter than ever, with his second gold metal of this year. This guy is a machine.

It’s so funny how fame and talent can make a person look so much better. To me, Phelps’s face isn’t that attractive. It’s kind of hideous actually, but the fact that he’s been winning so many gold metals, how there’s so much media attention focused on him, and has a gorgeous swimmers body, makes him an extreme hottie.

Yeah, I’d hit it, but only if he had a bag over his face.

Just kidding. :)

More comic awesomeness

Part 2 of Comic-Con 2008 entry

There’s more in my flickr…sweet!

Me on TV

Well it’s online for now, but check it out, I’m in it. And two things to remember…

-The video skips (I think it’s because of the website), so don’t think it is your internet!

-And if you don’t know which person I am (which I hope you do by now), I’m the only Asian girl in it.
