L4D and Christmas Tree

Dec 08 2008 Published by Tiff under Geekgasm

Finally, my sister and I had the chance to put up the Christmas tree the other day (I know, I’m a little late!).  It took a pretty long time to finish, there was so much shit to hang and tie and wrap and sprinkle that I almost gave up halfway, but we made it! And we did a a good job.

Picture on the left. Is it the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen or is it the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?

I just bought a PC game called Left 4 Dead and it practically owns my life, which explains why I haven’t really been on the internet lately or even outside for that matter.  I’m not a hardcore gamer.  I tend to have very little patience with video games and I get bored quickly, but when I find a really good game, I’d clear my schedule out and say peace out to my family, friends, boyfriends, and pets just to make (big) room for some serious 24/7 gaming.

Left 4 Dead is one of those few games that kicked me in the groin, grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and said, “This game is pretty badass, so get into it motherfucker”. It lured me right in from the moment I started watching the introduction:

Knowing that I was about to get myself into THAT kind of crap was remarkably frightening, intimindating and nerve racking, and if a game can make me feel all of the three then it should certainly be worth the try.

I played it, and lots of it. There were a lot of sleepless nights, relentless starvation and ruined friendships (not really =P) because of this game. Yes, it is that good.

L4D is nominated for a couple of awards for Spike TV’s Video Game Awards (I will be attending!), and it deserves to win every single category, especially for best multiplayer game.

*is off to play L4D*

RIP grassy layout

You will always be remembered. :-/

Happier notes:

I have a new layout, and I really dig it!  I decided to put up a new one, because I like change and I was starting to miss having widgets.  I am wost without widgets.

I won a MAC lipstick from Katy and received the packaged prize yesterday.  Thanks, I love it!@#!

On Thanksgiving, my family and I made so much food that we get to eat Thanksgiving leftovers for probably a week long.

Unrelated note:

I just had deja vu right after typing the last sentence. Weird. Perhaps I had Thanksgiving leftovers for last years Thanksgiving?

I’m 21 yo!!!

Nov 19 2008 Published by Tiff under Personal

So my 21st birthday was on the 17th (last Monday) and I thought it’d be really, really awesome to buy myself a new computer since it’s my birthday and all. And plus, the older computer I had was a piece of shit so I didn’t mind spending a lot of money on something that should last me for a while.

Ah, yeah, that’s her…smooth, soft, and silky (Pablo Francisco ftw!).  So far, I’m really digging my new desktop.  It’s great! Everything’s pretty much in the monitor (speakers, CPU, etc), you could barely hear it running, and it’s incredibly sleek! I have Windows Vista now and it isn’t as bad as I had anticipated, but the only problem is that I can’t transfer my Photoshop CS (downloaded it) into the new one…sooo I’m probably going to have to purchase the actual latest software which is CS4. Doh!

The thought of me being 21 years old hasn’t really kicked in.   I guess it’s because I haven’t been in a situation that had a 21 age limit, but when that time comes I’m certain that I will smile and appreciate it and say ridiculous things like, “BOOM. Here’s my I.D., I am 21 motherfucker! Huzzah!”

Clearly, I have no idea what’s going to be in store for me in the future, as a 21-year-old, but I heard it’s the “best” age to be, and then it starts to go downhill after that, slowly but surely. Hah. We will see.

Blog entry of randomness II

Nov 14 2008 Published by Tiff under Geekgasm

Why won’t he marry me? Why won’t he propose?! Awwww WAH! Shat up. Pressuring someone to do something they’re not ready to is always bad news, so stop pressuring them or else, later down the road, they’ll find themselves asking:

Man, google sure knows everything. Speaking of the internet knowing shit, GenderAnalyzer.com can tell whether your blog was written by a man or woman. I entered my website in and received:

Why that is correct GenderAnalyzer, I am indeed a woman! I’ve been entering in most of my friends’ blogs, and GenderAnalyzer guessed every one of them correctly…except for one of my art teacher’s blog. He received 95% woman. Um….HAHA!

What did you get?

And if anyone cares, I went shopping today and bought a burger keychain (I was actually serious about collecting burger items), A Jason Voorhees plushie (I’m starting to collect toys from Cinema of Fear), and a pink plaided Ushanka (I collect awesome hats). Basically, I’m a collector of sorts, and today was my lucky collecting day.

Last Sunday

Nov 13 2008 Published by Tiff under Entertainment, Personal

Is there such a word that means the opposite of writer’s block? Because I think I’m getting it and I feel like I have to get it all out of my system before my head blows up. I have 101 things I want to talk about and right now, nothing would be more fulfilling than to sit in front of my computer all day and just type away.

Sadly, it’s going to be a busy day for me, so I can’t really release my inner beast of nonstop, hardcore mad typage. Maybe some other time, but I will make this one brief (since it’s a “what-I-did-on-the-weekends” type of entry).

My Avex audition, which was last Sunday, didn’t go according to plan…haha. I had a prepared monologue that I wrote myself, studied it for a couple of days, and thought that I had it in the bag. I rehearsed right before it was my time to audition; everything seemed pretty peachy…up until I went on stage!

I completely forgot everything I had memorized when I was up in front of the panel. I was basically making shit up as I went! The talent search is going to be in New York this weekend, so I don’t think I’m going to find out whether I move to the next level or not for a couple of weeks.

Oh yeah, and the audition was held at that mall on Hollywood Blvd, next to the Chinese theater. When I was there, there was like, a red carpet event for the dvd release of Kung Fu Panda going on during my audition, and it took place right outside of the mall.  I didn’t know this until the day after but…fucking Angelina Jolie was there! And I could’ve seen her hotness in person, after my audition….FUCK!

Right after my audition, I had to go to a photoshoot for the last film that I was in.  The photographer (the guy holding the guns in the picture) took some great photos of the cast and myself. There were over 600 frames shot, but I only have about five of them! Gah! I want the rest gawdamnit!

Tusky Tiffany…oh noes!

Oct 09 2008 Published by Tiff under Uncategorized

I think I need braces again.  I still wear my retainers every night, but my teeth are slooowly going back to its original spot, which is making me a little nervous. I had crazy, whitetrash buckteeth. It didn’t help that one of the cards from Garbage Pail Kids had “Tusky Tiffany” either.

I wouldn’t mind wearing braces right now actually (Visaline is too expensive). I really liked it as a teenager. The pain felt quite nice (I know, I’m a creep!).

The only thing I hated about it, is that, when I would talk to strangers, they would usually bring up the topic of braces, asking if it’d hurt and stuff, which is fine, but they’d also ask, “Why do you need braces for? You don’t need them.”

Can you believe that shit? I usually say, “I ono” because giving them an honest answer might make them think that I’m trying to be a smartass.

“Because braces make your teeth straight…um yeah.”
