Twenty eighth entry - Singing
2005-09-06 12:33:29
Time - 11:20, Noise - Jimmy Eat World - "Hear You Me"...and me singing to it...
You know, I'm honestly bored right now. Usually, I can find something to do a few minutes after I say I'm bored, but...now is different.
I just had my first college class today. It's actually the same class I took my senior year - and got a B in the whole time - but I obviously didn't test out on the placement exam. I don't mind, though. Taking the same math class again just reinforces those skills, and since I'm not all that great at math, that's okay with me. I have band later tonight. For those curious, I play the alto saxophone.
On a different note, uploading is still being a bitch with PMS. I know I'm not the only one having this problem, either. I just saw a new thread posted with the exact issues. I directed the person to my thread, in hopes that the suggestions might help him/her.
Something screwy is going on, and I just wish I knew what it was.
I'm getting hungry. And I'm still singing.

Twenty seventh entry - Brunch!
2005-09-05 12:24:07
Time - 11:13, Noise - my fan
I'm going to brunch soon! w00t...?
Also, in my downtime here at college, I've coerced myself into working on a video. It's going good, though having the program crash literally every five minutes is getting irritating. I worked on the video for about three hours last night and two or so this morning. I'm about thirty seconds in. It's a fairly simple song, and beat sync shouldn't be an issue, but it works very well for the anime I'm using. Yes, I'm actually using anime and not a videogame. This is a first for me. Well, it's the first time I've done it seriously, anyway.
As for what the project is...that's a secret for now. I have a terrible habit of starting projects and not finishing, so I'd rather not get anyone's hopes up. When I only have a minute or less left, then I might divulge it.
Still no luck with uploading. I have to set up a time for derobert to help me, if he will.
Filezilla made no sense to me, but I may just have to learn it anyway, if none of this works out.
Classes start tomorrow. *sigh*
I suppose I ought to go back to my video.

Twenty sixth entry - Strange
2005-09-03 22:47:25
Time - 9:32, Noise - the unfamiliar (and slightly unsettling) sounds of college
I know said I gave up before on uploading, but technology is REALLY pwning my ass this time.
Okay, now the video is uploading without a hitch. However, IT'S STILL NOT SHOWING ON THE INFO PAGE!!! I can't download (check) it , which means no one else can!
COD!!!! @#$%!^*
On a mostly unrelated note, I'm at college now. While I wouldn't say I'm particularly homesick, I am...uncomfortable. Every little sound I hear is making me jump. Even though I'm on the second floor, it feels like all of the noises are coming from directly outside my window.
I know it's only the first night, but the environment unsettles me - in a bad way. I feel like everyone is being overly nice, and like I won't fit in at all. The sun and the heat were working murder on me. Of course, being short and fat works murder on me, too...
Still, I'm a little scared. This is a strange place to me, and I don't know how to act or how to feel. I have friends here, and they'll help, but...it's unsettling. That's really the best word for it.
Well, like I said, it's only the first night. Things will become more normal as I go along. Hopefully, I can hook up with a person or two on campus who's into anime and videogames as much as I am. I don't really want to join a club, but a friend or two would be nice.
Yeah, that's about the best optimism I have right now.
Damn uploading.
Damn noises outside my window.

Twenty fifth entry - Moving...
2005-09-02 20:14:31
Time - 7:00, Noise - Matchbox 20 - "Downfall"
That's an awesome song, by the way. ^
Sorry to burst your bubble of anticipatory happiness, Ileia-chan, but the video that I'm trying to upload isn't mine. I'm trying to get my friend's video onto her own account for her, but the whole procedure is going downhill, no matter how I go about it.
*sigh*
It's too bad, you know. She wants one of her guy friends to see her videos, too.
I'm hoping that moving into college tomorrow will bring me some good news. Maybe a completely different connection will do the trick. If not, then...I've been directed to derobert for help. If it comes to that, he'll supposedly try to see what's going on.
As for my own videos...I haven't finished - or even worked on - anything since the video I finished on my birthday. That was back in May. I've had a number of ideas floating about in my head, many of them concrete enough to start a project, but no motivation to do them.
Now...I'm going to have to take my computer apart soon so I can pack it away, so ya'll won't hear from me 'til...tomorrow. Drastic gap, I know. ~_~ Those damn school people are going to try to get me to be social, but they can go fuck themselves. There's a reason I'm pale as a ghost and emotionally deadpan. It comes from diligent avoidance of the outdoors and all interaction with the people that I would meet in such a place.
Anyway, I'm expecting a friend soon - the same friend whose video I'm attempting to upload. She's going to help me move in.
See ya, folks.

Twenty fourth entry - Snarg!
2005-09-02 12:47:46
Time - 11:46, Noise - Silent Hill 3 - Joe Romersa - "Hometown"
Seriously, I give up. I guess I'm just not meant to upload. I understand the procedure, and am capable of executing it - in more than one way - but it hates me.
When did technology start hating me? I got nine other videos on this site just fine, and NOW I get screwed over? Kusoyaro and WhereNext have even been kind enough to help me troubleshoot, but it just doesn't seem to be working.
Maybe it's the stupid router on this computer. Maybe that's what's screwing up my uploads. Does anyone know anything about that? I mean, the router messes up my connections on a regular basis, anyhow, but only once or twice a day.
*sigh* I remember when this "uploading" thing used to be easy...
