CT State Latin Day! Wow...it actually made front page of the local newspaper! And my pic's on it too! My sis and I played Castor and Pollux (she being Pollux, me being Castor) and we had lots of fun! The interview was crazy...we fell into the roles and fell out of it and tried to lighten things up a bit. We, as in the Latin kids of our school, got our butts whooped badly in the Certamen. Oi...90 to 15 in favor of Bristol Central High School. Ouchie...score bad for THS. But luckily my sis and I won 2nd for our costume contest and our friend Heather who had been playing Cloelia a Roman woman who crossed the Tiber (correct me if I'm wrong) in a heroic attempt, won 2nd too. Yay! And free food all day at Holiday Hill in Chesire! Whoo hoo!

-Shadow Chaser is off to prep for her Senior Trip, back to Holiday Hill!!!

Shadow Chaser:

I saw Matrix: Reloaded last night for the first time. Oh my god. Another winner! The special effects were literally mind-blowing! I love all of the bullet-time sequences and the fight scenes. Though, the plot is subtle, the interaction of human, machine, and all of the philosophy squeezed in between made it an enjoyable movie, even though I was suffering through a nasty bout of the common cold. Yuck. Anyways, I loved The Twins. They were memorable, priceless, and most certainly, they are still alive after Morpheus supposedly fried them. Hee hee. I guarantee that you'll love them. Now me sis and I are playing the twins.

"We are aggravated..."
"Yes we are..."

Priceless.

Neo was spectacular...and the whole The One thing took such an unexpected turn. I loved Trinity. But the sex scene between her and Neo was not needed. You could already tell that both loved each other with an intense passion. Hm...I sense Haldir mucking around maybe writing another fic...Haldir!!! Stop it! You need to concentrate on your current projects! Anyways, more ranting tomorrow along with a short notice on CT State Latin Day!

-Shadow Chaser logging off....^_^x

Well, I got off my lazy butt and decided to finish the rest of Lusankya CH 8. It's full of evil and seductiveness stuff. ^_^ Hee hee...featuring Grania! Enjoy peeps on either www.wookieehut.com or www.fanfiction.net. ^_^

-Haldir is off to write some more!

Shadow Chaser's Notes:

Prom was Friday! It was pretty good, with the exception of horrible grunge music played for most of the time, but there were some good ones thrown in, along with the usuals like Cotton-Eyed Joe, Macarena, and Electric Slide. I laughed as they played Billie Jean by Michael Jackson...that was a classic. Slow danced with my best friend/prom date, even though he absolutely refused to dance for the whole night. He had almost gotten away with it until I dragged him out onto the dance floor. Danced a bit, but couldn't dance that much because the floor was too slippery for my shoes and my stockings. Eeek. Overall, it was great! ^_^

Haldir's Notes:
While my master was at the prom, I was having fun hiding in the background and catching up on some shut eye. ^_^ Back to writing though, this time probably a mix of Lusankya, LoTR AU, Ruse of Rogues, and X-Men: Evolution. Hee hee... ^_^x

-Haldir is off to write!

Saw the new Cirque du Soliel: Varekai. Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! I loved it far better than Mystere, which was the last one I've seen in Las Vegas. I'm probably gonna see if I can get the tickets to see Dralion in Hartford, CT near my home, but that's another story. Funny thing was that a few stray thoughts kept running in my head. Mainly the whisper of X-Men, Escaflowne, and Star Wars....very odd...

-Shadow Chaser signing off...Haldir will be back tomorrow! ^_^

I just came from watching X-Men 2: X-Men United. Oh my god...for those who don't want to read about it, please go to another blog or to my fanfic page on fanfiction.net. This will contain huge spoilers...

The ending is so obvious that Brian Singer is going to be doing the Phoenix Saga, or at least his intepretation of it. Which brings to light whether the Shi'ar Empire will get invovled and hopefully if we see a spot or a glimpse of Scott's past (aka Cosair and Havoc), cause they didn't really do to much with Cyke this time around...again...

Jean Grey, "dies" in this movie. Note the quotes around dies. You can see that she is becoming Phoenix in all of her close eye-shots and finally in the full-body shot during the last few scenes. Wow...and to say I can't wait! ^_^ My sis just told me that when I was just a wee little 2nd grader in Elementary school (early 1990s) a group of kids used to play X-Men and I was casted the part of Jean Grey. Creepy...

I loved how they did Iceman's history in the new movie, though it's a bit skewed at times, but then again with Iceman, in the comics and cartoons, I've always had a soft spot for him. And for Cyke (yes I am one of the few, probably one out of every three Cyke haters, to be a fan...) I've always disliked Logan/Wolverine for interfering in Cyke's and Jean, excuse me, Phoenix's, relationship, especially from his appearance in the comic books. I don't know...Wolverine never appealed to me, where as ruby-glassed Scott Summers always did wonders for my beating heart. Don't ask...its just a fan girl (a few fangirls of the X-Men comic and cartoon genre) working her maniacal schemes.

Oh yeah, speaking of schemes...got a semi-screwed up X-Men: Evolution fic on the drawing board... I'm planning to twist both Apocalypse and Phoenix Saga into one mashed up thing...but I think it might be hard for me to sort through so much different material swimming their lazy backstrokes in my brain. Great...now I have to deal with this... ^_^ Stay on the lookout for it!

Rogue...let's see...I don't like her in this movie or in the other movie. I hated her. I want her to absorb Ms. Marvel so I can sit back content and see her fly around! And where the hell is Gambit! There has to be a Rogue and a Gambit! Grr...

Pyro was the best. Hee hee...that little traitor (giggles madly). Though I have yet to see the other members of the Brotherhood...wonder where they all went for this movie...hmm... Mystique...oohhh...now that's an enigma. I was seriously hoping for her to reveal that she's the adopted mother of Rogue and the biological mother of Kurt, but she didn't. Darn. Anyways, hee hee...cool special effects in her shape shifting through I wish she put on more clothes... *Sighs* Ah...

Kurt. Kurt Wagner. Nighcrawler. Never liked him, though I hope that Brian Singer shows a bit of a friendship in the next movie between him and Kitty/Shadowcat. Hee hee...

Which brings up the possibility of more mutants. I was wishing for Angel/Archangel to make an appearance or even perhaps Psylocke, but alas...to no avail...but I was seriously happy with Lady Deathstrike. Ouchie...nice death scene they did for her, a bit on the gross side, but I loved it anyways.

Okay...okay...here is a list of my fave mutants from the X-Men Universe: Cyke/Scott Summers, Jean Grey/Phoenix, Iceman/Bobby Drake, Psylocke/Betsy Braddock, Archangel/Warren Worthington III (avenging hearts are cool), Rogue (when she absorbed Ms. Marvel and can fly!), and Destiny (hee hee...)

Least Favorite mutants: Havoc (god he has a huge ego...though in Evolution they made him nice...), Wolverine, Mr. Sinister (he's scarey...creepy...), Mesmero (definite scaryness), and when I get the chance, I'll write more...

-Shadow Chaser checks the time...oops...time to sleep!
