Haha FINE Anna I'll mention Jazz Choir

Jazz Choir was alright 10th grade, a lil' discouraging here and there. 11th was TOTALLY better, and 12th grade was QUITE satisfying. very very very VERY satisfying! ...erm, yeah, I loved the class, that's all I had to say there.

Hehehe I SHOULDN'T feel bad that I forgot about Jazz in my "Eli's top ten blahblahblah" list, but...Ahhhhh JUST had to mention it.

OH! Might as well continue critiquing dem movies 'cause it's fuuuuuun..

Last night, I watched The RUINS! It's a sick lil' horror/survival flick about four tourists in Mexico getting lost in a mysterious jungle, get quarantined on an archeological dig (I dunno, I'd never use that wording...but it sounded soooo good on imdb), have to fight to survive, etc etc etc... It's definately a step above stupid horror fare released within the last couple of years, but that still doesn't excuse it for stale acting, screenplay, etcc... Now I don't wanna give it too little credit 'cause I WAS entertained....I was VERY entertained! Shit, I'm a sucka for gratuitous blood and chills, so this movie and I got along sweeeell.

Now earlier this year I saw a similar movie called "The Happening"...Well, not QUITE similar. The Ruins was actually scary and didn't cut out on the goods, The Happening was absolutely awful and had, like, a tablespoon of blood. They both have killer plants, and killer plants sound preeeeeeeeeetty cool! The difference between the two movies is the actors in The Ruins had SOME credibility. The Happening managed to turn badass Mark Wahlberg into a raving pussy. I was laughing WITH The Ruins 'cause it was so damn fun, The Happening...eeeee kinda sorta stupid as fuck...

But THIS movie at least reassured me that you can make a compelling "killer plant" movie (Little Shop o' Horrors excluded) without the plague of hideously awful direction. The Ruins ain't genius, but at least it doesn't possess the excruciating mediocrity of The Happening. SO after careful deliberation I shalt give The Ruins 2.5 stars for a creative premise and some niiiiiiiiiiice BLOOOOD! bloodbloodblood I like blood.

..Ok I know I gotta work on my critiquing skills, BUT it's a start.. Alright I'm tired, ZZZZzzzzzzzzz

NICE I've almost made it 2 yrs with no activity!

WOW I just killed this account! And damn 'cause I like the name "Headcheese"...Well it's perfectly understandable though, I just was sick of my adult figures finding my friggin' spot where I could rant in public as much as possible (and I didn't wanna get another account!...don't ask why, "Headcheese" is a good account name). Anyways BAH! Adolescence is almost over...i think technically speaking...eh, I'll just ASSUME it ends at age 21. I guess I don't have to worry as much about elders readin' my shit..and god the colors on this site are hideous...Ewwwwww!
YAY just changed the background! I'll play around with it in the future, but it's a start.
DANG this feels wierd, just simply thinking about the last two years, unDOCUMENTED! BUM BUM BUUUUUUM!! So what's happened..Hey! Why not do what I do best? A LIST!! :)

Eli's Top 10 significant things that happened while away from xanga!

1. Ok, managed to do both "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and Mock Trial at the same time...NICE! :) I was an ogre guard thingy and Casey Campbell, some art freak that did NOT plant a bomb in the school garbage can.
2. Gave my FIRST monologue in Drama that made me think I had a chance at acting, it's a niiiiice self-esteem booster.
3. AP Lit...SHIT did this 10 page paper on 4 plays, was the biggest bitch in the world, AND I got a B on it! Yaaaaayyy B in class, happy happy, but class was a bitch nonetheless.
4. Honor Choir!! Seriously, I could've written a frickin' script about my experience. I was with Mrs. I and the 2 Annas ,and we went on some VERY well played out adventures. Also on the first day I was awkward in the back row with my tenors, got to know some of them, and found out the were FLAMING homophobes! They never found me out, but they'd always talk smack about the front gays (DAMN they were gay).
Also ALMOST got a duet/solo thingy! I was in a group of 12, cut down to 4....and I was one of the four! Yaaaaay! Made me quite happy, even though I fucked up on the VERY last note (FUCK!). But felt nice nonetheless.
But it's strange...during one of the rehearsal breaks I met some of the NICEST gay guys, and some scumbags that just happened to be gay. And I actually formed a bond with one of the homophobes, it was like...HUH! Then there was temptation, snap-back to reality, learning my lesson, getting rewarded in the end, having the actual concert order place me next to a friend I acted with in children's theatre YEARS ago, Disneyland, etc etc etc...VERY interesting experience.
5. Caberat, ALMOST getting my first lead role, only to be cast as a "Kit Kat Boy". BUT I enjoyed myself, which is good...but FUCK dude! I needed ONE really notable role...which was when I was cast as...
6. Ernie in Rumors! Yaaaaaay! Makes me plenty happy, good experience, lalalalala.
7. Applying for 9 colleges...got into THREE 'cause at Irvine, Davis, Santa Barbara, etc. 47,000 applied and they only accepted about 4,200...well you know what I got to say to them? BLOW ME! Dat's right, got into UCSC which already looks like the shit. Love the atmosphere, my major's there, other options out there...I LOVE it! So WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
8. NOtable friends! My Tree people (20-something people), My movie bitches (Beth+Julia), Drama dudes (Aamir, Deanna, Alex, Karen, George, etc...), Those crazy dudes that fuck around with everything and are quite entertaining to watch (Granger, Calhoun, Daniel (see #10), Tristan, etc..)...Yeah, and random friends here 'n there like Jo, Dan, Maggie, Ginger, CHOIR Dudes (can't forget Annie, Logan, Kelvin, etc...)...FUCK I'll just stop here, knowing full well I'm forgetting muchos people.
9. Graduated High School! YES fucking finally.
10. Last, and it AIN'T da least by a long shot, Daniel! I had been so put off by dating these last 2 yrs that I finally gave up beginning of senior yr. But I'm QUITE happy I met this dude, 'cause I haven't been this grateful about one man in a while...Almost at the 5 month mark!
AND he's the movie-skank to my movie-whore. YAY!

HEY side note Anna T inspired me to write on this damn site again, so thankies!
Ok, so 3 days ago I wake up at 10:43. 2 minutes later Mitha calls my cell, asking if I wanna walk a trail with her, Dina, and Anna. I think for a moment, then say, "Sure! When are you planning on leaving?" She says 15 minutes. GAAAAHHHH I agree! Since the last trails I've ever been on last no more than 2 hrs, I was thinking this would be pretty relaxed. We drive over to Rancho San Antonio and take the PG&E trail (and it's very hot, mind you). It's approximately Long-as-fuck to Fuck-this-is-long. Hoooooooly SHIT about 8 to 9 miles or so? FUCK ain't never walked on a trail like that all in one (in 3-4 hrs no less!), so it's a PERSONAL best! So yaaaaay for Eli!

And FUCK YEAH to Jamba Juice, for having one helluva Berry smoothie.

Sooo yeah! Maybe I'll keep writing, maybe I'll write this crap on facebook, dunnooooo....We shall see!

Ha! 2 months without writing ANYTHING! :)

2 months without writing ANYTHING in this fucking xanga thing PROVES that it is officially not interesting in any way, shape, or form. Zzzzzzzzzzz...Well, first thing's first, my spanish 2 class was half/half. First 3 weeks were GREAT cause I learned a LOT and my teacher was really nice! :) And the kids were chill, which was nice too...

Theeeeeeen the NEXT 3 weeks came along, only 3 of the 17 students left and only 5 more entered into the class. HOLY SHIT THAT MADE ME FUCKING SNAP!!!!! First off, they found out I was gay (long story), and they turned into the biggest assholes on the face of the earth. Holy shit they were so fucking homo-phobic, it was Siiiiiiick...AND I'm not gonna go into it, 'cause I've already successfully blocked it out of my head. Anyways, I flipped the class off as I walked out on the last day, which left me feeling satisfactory. : )

Also Gabe got accepted to San Jose State! woot! Had fun with Jew friends, which is always fun. Gabe and I also made a movie entitled "Mother" which I REALLY wanna put on here...

Nooooooow MOVIES!!! I wish I saw more, but my schdule was busy....bleh. Anyways, here they are!

Chronicles of Riddick- k, I'm not gonna rate this movie 'cause I stopped it after watching a half hour of it. Dude, usually I'm easily entertained by good FX, but this was BORING. I thought I was gonna start stabbing myself in the neck repeatedly with my finger nails, it'd be more interesting. Even my lil' bro who's a sci-fi movie buff didn't like it, so FUCK this movie, I liked Pitch Black... No Star Rating

The Devil Wears Prada- I looooooove Meryl Streep!!!! :) I also Anne Hatheway and that bitchy assistant, they were fuuuuunny! 3.5 stars

Fast Times at Ridgemont High- Sean Penn acting like a dude, fucking awesome, 'nough said. 3 stars

The Libertine- LOL Mom hated it, gave it a fourth of a star. She said, "The costumes and the fog were good." Well I also thought the SETS were good, and the ACTING was good....Um....yeah, that's about it. It's kind of an ugly movie, not very entertaining... Johnny Depp was really ugly. 2.25 stars

Little Miss Sunshine- FUNNY AS FUCKING HELL!!!!! I loved everything about it, it's totally original, maybe it'll get nominated... Makes me happy! :) 4 stars

The Matador- Not bad, COULD'VE been better, but not bad... Pierse Brosnan is funny. 2.75 stars

Nine Lives- FUCK YEAH! This movie was totally kickass, we get to watch 9 woman more screwed up than us! All their stories are 10 minute shots:)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest- I saw it, I talk when I don't wanna die. 3 stars

A Scanner Darkly- Fuck I wanna write a bunch about this movie, but It's 3:30 in the morning and I'm tired as fuck. Anyways, BEST DRUGGIE MOVIE EVER!!!!!4 stars

Syriana- I wasn't THAT confused! : / Everyone's saying they were confused as hell, I was fine....Eh, kickass movie! George Clooney totally deserved his oscar. 4 stars

Terms of Endearment- Tear Jerker, sweetest movie ever...Woot! 4 stars

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada- Extremely well-made movie that was kinda gross to watch and kinda pointless and kinda bleh too. EH! It was fine, If I didn't wanna die from sleep deprivation I'd talk about why I liked it. 3 stars

V for Vendetta- Things explode and people fight and get tortured, cool! 3.25 stars

Wolf Creek- As far as sadistic movies go, this is one of the best. The realism was like WOOOOAH! And it was sick as fuck. But it's not for everyone.....eh, FUCK everyone! :) Me likie 3.75 stars

I'm tired, g'night.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

......Ok, I'm aware of the fact that I haven't written anything for the past month or so, but COME ON. Xanga is so utterly lame. Plus I got BETTER stuff to do, so HA.......

...............Eh, fuck it. I'll use every once in a while, I guess...I'unno.....

Okie dokie, well, School ended, got rid of crappy teacher, jazz and pops concerts were fucking awesome, passed all my classes :), graduation was kickass (Sarah, Joel, Boris, Michael C., Guy, Rhiannon, Anna, Briana, Jazz Choir seniors, Jen/Grandma Eric Anna Briana in choir--You guys fucking ROCK!), aaaaaaaaand I'm starting Spanish 2 next week and stopping riiight when July's over..... I think that's it.....Eh, there's probably other shit I forgot...EH! Don't really give a crap.

I hate to say this but I'm gonna have to list off movies I've seen.......Oh who the fuck am I kidding, I like doin' it.

K, I'll write as little as possible, 'cause I wanna finish The Insider! :)

Adventures of Pricilla, Queen of the Desert- FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!! Yaaaaay! Transvestites goin' cross country, Guy Pierce is a sexy beast...      4 stars

Art School Confidential- It was....good! Not great, but not sucky! Twas entertaining, it's just a downer and the ending's messed up.     3 stars

BloodRayne- LOL this movie was fucking AWESOME!!!!!....Besides the fact that it SUCKED, it was very entertaining!....But it really, REEEEEEEEALLY sucked. I mean, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but DUDE it was funny! There's blood spewing all over the place, if you poke someone with a paper clip they lose a gallon of blood.     1 star

Cars- AWWWWWWWWW it was cuuuuuuuuuute! :) It's just cliched as fucking hell. Animation's kick-ass.     3 stars

Dog Day Afternoon- OMG This movie's INTENSE!!!!! Al Pacino is totally cool. 'n stuff.    4 stars

Family Stone- Ok, I thought the deaf gay guy with his boyfriend was SWEET! :) Too bad everyone and everything else fucking SUCKED. Throughout the whole movie it's "BITCH BITCH, I HATE YOU, I WANNA LEAVE, EVERYONE HATES ME, I'M AN ANNOYING LITTLE BITCH". It's so utterly negative, and ALL the characters are extremely unlikable in their own disfunctional way. Then in the end, the biggest, most irritating bitch of 'em all dies from cancer. Now, I would've cared if it were someone nice (I love you Mrs. I!!!!), but seeing how I friggin' hated her, I started singing with Mom "ding dong, the witch is dead". lol Mom hated it more, so she was saying stuff the whole time and made me laugh! :) It's just a sad, pitiful movie.     1.5 star (acting was good)

Gigli- I saw half of it a while back, but I never saw the last half hour. Now I did, and it was AWFUL. LOL! Jennifer Lopez, after 20+ years of her telling herself that she's gay, decides to go straight and has no moral dilemma. Dude, you don't have an affair with someone of the opposite gender and then feel like nothing's wrong.....Wait, did that make sense? Eh, I'll just assume it does.   0 stars

Match Point- Holy shit, I officially LOVE Woody Allen. I was frickin' tense the whole time, omg the ending is, like, WOOOOOAH! Scarlett! :)     4 stars

Memento- FUCK ME!!!!!!! Beth let me watch her copy, which is fucking MESSED UP. I mean, the quality was good, movie's fucking awesome to the EXTREEEEEEEEEEME, Guy Pierce is a sexy beast, but the DVD's stupid.   4 stars

Midnight Cowboy- I love that Harry Nilsson song they kept playing. Also this movie's fucked up, but in a good way! Dustin Hoffman is the coolest guy ever, he's freakin' ANNOYING in this movie....in a good way!     4 stars

Munich- Besides the ending which totally didn't work for me, it's awesome! omg This one bitch, she was all naked and stuff, then they shot her. Ok, I took this whole movie seriously, but when that happened I was like EEEEEEEEW!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!      4 stars

Nanny McPhee- Awwwwww, this movie's disgustingly cute, Emma Thompson is fucking awesome.     3.5 stars

The Producers- I dunno if I'm extremely disappointed or not. I mean I heard bad stuff about it earlier, but it's the PRODUCERS!!!! I love the music 'n EVERYTHING! But this movie sucked. Buuuuut since the musical rocks and Will Farrell was funny, 2 stars!...or 1.5...I dunno, don't really care enough.   1.75 stars

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic- It's part standup, part singing, and part skit. Standup and singing were seriously fucking funny (I was laughing my fucking head off!), buuuuuut the skit was pathetic. I would've given it 3.5, but skit makes it a 2.5!      2.5 stars

Transamerica- If the story was better, I'd give it 4 stars 'cause the main guy is hot as hell and Felicity Huffman is sooooooooo AWESOME! :) Buuuuuut there're a couple of lame characters, so *sigh*    3 stars

X-Men 3- Yeah, it's worse than the other 2, but it's still entertaining as fucking hell, so yaaaaaay! Phoenix is a psycho bitch....     3 stars

Okie dokie...... Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm see the good movies! Maybe I'll write something else later...

K, g'night!
