Esta OK, Kathy-chan. I'm stuck in mediocrity too. *abrazos para ella*
I wish I knew how to make accent marks in my journal...if you even can...
I really ought to put my friend's videos in the Announcements Forum. I don't know how people will react to me announcing someone else's video, but whatever. As long as I make it clear that it's not mine, they shouldn't care. Even if I asked her, Nicole wouldn't post it herself. She doesn't know this site well, so I'm left to do most things for her.
I go home tomorrow. Yay! It'll be the first time since I started college. I need to get some stuff, and just generally attempt to spend time with my family. Well, my mother anyhow. Hopefully, I'll see Nicole, but who knows.
I'm going now. My boredom is not being solved here.

Poor Ileia-chan. *pet pet* This is part of the reason I don't want to even try to get a job. Stupid customers. Also, I think people don't always realize that it's really just you and two others back there doing all the work. I mean, when you think of a restaurant, no matter how small, you tend to think of a well-staffed place, right? Well, that's probably what most customers think. They don't realize they're overwhelming you.
Of course, this doesn't make them any less stupid. Dumbasses...
When I go to restaurants, I try to be considerate. I understand that places that make the food fresh are going to need time to prepare it. If it's McDonald's (which...I don't really eat at anymore...), I'm gonna be pissed if I don't get my food in two minutes flat. However, with more refined eating establishments, the customer has to have patience. Short of finding a hair (or something else...) in my food, I rarely complain. Even then, I can work around the hair...but I'm just uncaring like that.
Gee, maybe I should visit your workplace sometime. Wisconsin's just a hop, skip and a jump away from Minnesota, you know!

Aw, hell, who am I kidding? I don't trust my driving skills enough to get me out of my hometown, let alone into another state.
To this day, I still wonder how I ever got my license. I'm a terrible driver - not in the sense of going too fast or disobeying other traffic laws. I'm actually quite good at following the law. I just get too nervous behind the wheel. I'm terrified of getting into an accident, or killing some innocent who didn't see me coming. Unlike most people, I don't find driving to be exhilarating or enjoyable. I hate it. The only reason I got my license is because my mom badgered me into it, saying that I would need it in my future anyway (which I was agreeable enough to), and that if she ever had an asthma attack, and needed to be taken to the hospital, I would have to do it. Well, not long after I got my license, she got gastric bypass surgery, lost a crapload of weight (160 pounds), and her asthma essentially disappeared.
I love how she waits until she completes her personal objective for me before springing this. Of course, it wasn't her plan at all. The reason she got the surgery was because: 1) she was morbidly obese. It was terrible for her to carry all of that weight constantly. 2) she was using a nebulizer often for a while. Very often. Getting rid of the weight would remove pressure from her lungs to help her breathe easier. She rarely even needs her inhaler anymore. And most importantly... 3) she had just been diagnosed with diabetes. The doctors said that it was mostly due to her weight in this case, and that the surgery, if done this early in the diagnosis, would likely rid of her of diabetes completely. Well, it did, and I find myself thanking whatever lucky stars I have for that one.
Back on the topic of driving, I've had to run her back from scheduled appointments at the hospital a few times now. You know, those little surgeries where they won't let you drive yourself home because of the anesthetic, even though you feel perfectly fine. Well, I had to be there for those. Those few hospital trips probably make up at least half of the times I've driven total...
That's pretty sad, when I think about it.
Well, this entry is getting hella long, so I'm going to stop now.
Poor Ileia-chan. You know, I think you could make a fortune selling sauteed scrotum in some place like Africa.
Just a thought. ^_~

Forty second entry - WTF!?

Time - 11:45, Noise - Silent Hill 4 - "Room of Angel" (and me singing to it...)
You know that feeling that you get when a total n00b fumbles into good luck, and you have been actually *trying*? Yeah, that's how I feel. I uploaded my best friend's two videos a few days ago, and she's already gotten an opinion and a quick comment. The first video I ever uploaded (which was NOT my first video created, so it doesn't suck that bad) *still* has not gotten any opinions, and it was here back in March.
Am I jealous? Not really. Irritated? Possibly. Confused? Most definitely.
Speaking of videos, though, the one I'm working on is doing good so far. Several hours of work yesterday added on another half minute to my completed editing. Actually, most of that time was spent looking for specific scenes, rather than laying down clips. I won't be able to work on it this weekend, because I'm visiting home, but it'll likely be the first thing I jump to doing on Sunday when I return.
Hopefully, by then, I'll also be able to enter my friend's other two videos into the catalog. Believe me, it's not that I'm taking control. It's that she pretty much insists that I do this for her - and since I'm perfectly willing to do so, it's not really a big deal.
Well, I have class in an hour, and I need lunch, so I'll catch ya'll later!
Ugh. I can't believe I just typed "ya'll."

Forty first entry - yeah, right...

Time - 4:45, Noise - Backstreet Boys - "Incomplete" (yeah, shut up. It's a good song!)
Ileia-chan, I need to FINISH my video before I can upload it. ~_~ I work slow. And I procrastinate. And you know what they say about that. "Procrastination and masturbation are pretty much the same thing. It feels good at the time, until you realize you just fucked yourself."
Someday, when I become an AMV master, that will surely be the death of me.
Besides, figuring out whose quick comment it is won't be that tough, I think. I just have to look at THE ONLY ONE THAT'S THERE. Although, I think the frequency of comments on this new video should be better, because I'm not using something overly popular (ie: my Final Fantasy videos), or completely unknown (ie: my Chocobo's Dungeon video, sitting alongside it's less than five breatheren in the amv.org registry).
You ever feel like your spelling everything wrong? Taht's teh wai i fell write naw.

Fortieth entry - bwahahaha

Time - 11:51, Noise - Vertical Horizon - "Inside"
@kitsune - mwhahaha. Too late. I already did. Fortunately for you, my verdict will have to wait until much later (I have hours of classes soon). Also, both comments were from me. When Negima was acting funny, I thought I should download another video to check if they were all like that. Since I liked the second one, I decided to drop a comment on it. ^_^
Well, gotta go. I'm cutting my schedule close here.
