- Not going to be on for a couple days. 2006-11-22 01:03:24 Well, Rafe's going to TX for a week to visit his family, and I'm going back to NJ for a couple days to be with my family for Thanksgiving. So I won't be online from Wed afternoon to Friday evening because I'm leaving my comp here. Then I'll be bringing the other disc of Fumoffu back so I can work on my Rainbow Cotton vid. I also need to rip Saikano so I can do my Darkness and grief vid. Almost done with Villain. I probably would have finished today because I got frustrated because I found a scene in the preview that I wanted to use, but forgot what the timestamp was and couldn't find it again. So I switched over to Valentines and have a pretty good chunk of that done now too. Though I can't upload and send any of them until either Rafe gets home from TX and can set up a network. (We couldn't before because I didn't bring my keyboard) or when I get home and get my comp hooked back up to the internet there. So yeah. And thanx Kirari Hiroto for the op. It made my day. *^_^* Forgot to show my email address on my prof, so I didn't get to see the buttsecks beta. :( Plah! Have 2 1/2 hours til I have to wake Rafe up to go to the airport. FUN!! Might go watch a movie. Well, once I get back, I have about 4 days of peace and quiet to get some editing done. I'm going to be watching Rafe's apt while he's gone. WHEEE!!! Hopefully I can get a lot done. Anyway.
- In MD. . .Again 2006-11-20 02:59:58 Well, came down Friday with my family for the Navy/Temple game. Navy won 42-6 I think. Then my family left Saturday night. I hope the cats are ok. So, then today we went driving around to find stuff and so I would know my way around here for when Rafe leaves to go to Dallas and I'm here alone. Then we hooked up my comp so I could edit. Then it turns out he got everything hooked up for me so he could watch football. Grand! So yeah. I got most of my villain vid done. So that's cool. Now he's in bed and I'm sitting here. Might go to bed soon. I don't know. Haven't really been sleeping well the past couple days. Plah. You know Krisqo, I kinda understand where you're coming from. Maybe not to the same extent. I've at least had other geeks to bond with. But as a child, I had a relatively young mother. (Not a still in HS teen mother, but she was barely 20 when she had me. Which means as a child, she was barely drinking age and still wanted to be out partying) She wasn't a bad mother, she just had other things she wanted to be doing, plus she worked, so I got left with sitters a lot. And in those younger years where social skills are usually developed, we didn't really live places with children my age, so I prefered to be by myself rather than try to tag along with the bigger kids who just by the nature of the situation, could be kinda mean. Not to mention I'm mildly schizophrenic (The voices aren't anything bad. They don't tell me to kill people or anything. Lets just say they make things interesting. And as a child when one is trying to develope a sense of reality and truth, they can give you an odd perspective on what real life is supposed to be) , so the reality that my mind was feeding me was a bit skewed. (Needless to say, my childhood memories are rather surreal. lol) So between the lack of social interaction and the metal problem, I didn't make friends very easily. I was always so terribly shy. (I still am), not a very eloquent speaker, not very assertive, not to mention what I found to be interesting or amusing was a bit off from everyone else. So all through elementary school, I didn't really have many friends. Then in middle school, I was able to make a couple more friends due to all the geeky extra curricular activities I was in. By HS, I was actually almost popular amongst the dork/geek/unpopular crowd. Pretty ironic, I know. I was still kinda awkward looking and my family didn't really have a lot of money, so I wasn't in the latest fashions or anything, Plus I still was a little shy and not very articulate, but I was coming out of my shell and getting more used to being around people. I even managed to get myself a bf from the nearby catholic school. Then I graduated and left for the army. Once I got to language school, I was actually kinda popular. You figure, I was of a gender minority, I had finally grown into myself, so between that and being in shape, I wasn't bad looking (or at least not butt ugly), plus I was with all the nerds of all four branches of the military. I think at least half the people I talked to and were friends with were into anime. And then in learning a language in that intense of an environment, you start to forget English, though you're not really fluent in the language you're learning. So there were times when everyone there was a bit incoherent. In fact, that was where I met my current bf. (We had gone out, then broke up, now we're back together) So I was right at home there. Then I got out. And now I'm slipping back to where I was as a child. I still hang out with a couple of my HS friends. But for the most part, I just prefer to be alone and/or with Rafe. In all my time of attempting to be sociable, I've figured out that people annoy me and I just prefer to stay alone and do my own thing. It can be lonely sometimes, but its a lot less annoying and/or stressful. I don't know. I guess the social sucess of people like us depends on the types of environments you're in and what you're looking for. I always seem to find myself in places where there are other geeks around. Sometime even other artsy geeks. It's like I have a magnet on me or something. It either draws me to those places, or draws them to me so we all find each other. I don't know, with my like of being a loner, I sometimes feel bad for my friends because I will sometimes just drop off the face of the earth for a while. I'll always resurface eventually. But sometimes I just want to be alone for a while. Sometimes a long while. I guess I spent so much time being alone, I just don't know how to function with people around all the time. And in being alone, I'd grown an attachment to art. Of all forms. I always feel better when I'm creating something. And in being alone, your train of thought and flow of imagination isn't interrupted. Once people get involved, that all gets interrupted. And I have a short attention span, so when I can actually get into something enough to work on it for hours on end, its really frustrated when I get interrupted, because chances are, I won't want to finish it after that or I'll forget what I'm doing. Then later on, I'll want to enjoy what I was creating, but I can't because its not done, or I won't have the motivation anymore. Anyway, I'm sevverely rambling. At any rate, Krisqo, I wish you luck and hope you can find your own haven of geeks like I have been able to do. Yeiweh, I wish you luck with your vids. I'm sure you'll get used to Vegas. Or at least get the same thing going on as me. I'm not a wonderful editor, but somehow I manage to slip under everyone's radars. lol. And Kikai's back!!! It seems for good!!!! YAY!!! Might try to take stuff off my comp so I can rip Saikano. Or cheat and rip ti to Rafe's comp like I was going to anyway because he wanted it, then edit my Darkness & Grief vid on his comp, since he has Premiere. And just stick the song from my comp onto my flash drive, then stick it on his comp. I don't know. We'll see. I think I might go to bed here soon. And hopefully I can finish Villain. I can't send it yet since we couldn't get internet to work on my comp, but at least it will be done. Anyway. I think I'm done rambling at everyone now. lol.

HOLY SHIT!!!

IT'S KIKAI!!!! *SQUEE!!!* *MEGA GLOMPS!* We missed you! Welcome back!!! *^_^*
On another note, this made me happy. This was about my Mecha Mania beta:
[quote="Clamp-X"]weird song but sweet editing ^^[/quote]
YAY!! I don't completely suck!! *^_^*
And apparently the phrase "So are you going to leave an op or not?!" is not acceptable on a banner. And it think it would be funny to stick sweaters on my cats. Tempted to get Rafe a cat while he's gone as an early christmas present, but I won't, because I don't know if I'd have the money for the pet deposit at his apt and I know he wants to pick it out. Not to mention I don't know where the nearest animal shelter is. So yeah. The weather is absolutely miserable over here. Its been windy all day, and now its pouring. Luckily all the cats were already in.

2006-11-15 00:52:49please deinterlace
Yes I know. I think all my vids before Sexy Gods need to be deinterlaced. (And Sexy Gods has its own quality issues) But thank you for saying something constructive. *^_^*
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the side project I took on is almost done. Just waiting on one more submission. Turned in my mecha beta. Haven't heard anything yet. I turned in my Revenga final for SOAD. I haven't heard anything, so I'm going to assume its ok. Need to rip Saikano and disc2 of fumoffu still. But I need to clear more room on my comp. So far I've been good and not joined any more projects since Darkness and grief. That will be my last one until Karaoke. Hopefully Rafe will get something done on mecha soon. Apparently if you have an account with image shack, even if you push "make private" they still check for porn. I will usually send Rafe a "motivational" picture at work. The other day's was a hentai pic, and imageshack removed it and it said "DO NOT UPLOAD PORN!" So yeah. I had sent him a grocery list on a hentai pic at work when I was there the last time, and it wasn't erased. But I wasn't signed in, so yeah. Anyhow. I just downloaded a program to use vids as screensavers, so I'll probably be making a vid to use as a screensaver at some point. (Right now I have the aquarium one) Well, internet was down for a while today, so I used that time to do a new wallpaper. It uses the Sesshomaru pic that's on my forum av. *^_^* Tasty goodness!! (It used to be Squall) Anyhow. I should really work on my Villain vid now. Kaplah. And Valentines. But I need to do Villain more so I can figure out what clips I can send. Anyhow. Well, going to MD with my parents this weekend for the Navy game. Then I'm going to be staying in MD with Rafe until he goes to Dallas to visit his family. Then I'm going to be taking him to the airport and picking him up as well as house sitting. Though I'm going to be driving back up for Thanksgiving. This is going to be interesting. I'm going to be bringing my comp down with me, but its going to be in my family's car. Which will be exciting if we take the beetle. At least its just the tower. Plah. My mom was reading somewhere that figs were the oldest fruit known to man, then the bible came up and eve and the apple, and if it had been a fig. Then somehow it turned into her giving Adam a fig newton and instead of a serpent there was a Keebler elf (though I think nabisco makes fig newtons), and the tree of knowledge was the tree the keebler elves live in. And that that was why the saying "Come over to the Dark side. We have cookies." came about. And that during the apocolypse, there will be a plague of Grasshoppers. Which is not a bad thing in my book. Those are my favorite cookies. *^_^* Anyhow. That's life with my mom and I. lol Plah -
UPLOAD MANIA!!! AND NEATO STUFF!!!

Well, finally uploading my Revenga final. Turns out my syncing wasn't as bad as I thought. Once I took out a couple transitions I put in, it was fine. So yeah, can finally turn that in. I might go ahead and turn my Mecha beta in, since I have video in all the music. I just need to do the overlays in the middle. More troubles with my Move It segment for Buttsecks. I uploaded the xvid version. Hopefully that one works. If not, keep trying codecs until his vdub likes one. UGH!! Need to rip Saikano and Disc 2 of fumoffu. I need the Saikano for Signs of Darkness and Grief. I need fumoffu so I have the rest of the Bonta-kun episodes for Rainbow Cotton. I also need the Pony episode for the end of a Monty Python vid I want to do. So, for my own purposes, lets list what MEP segments I have done and which ones I have to do
*SOAD-finished(provided Revenga is approved)
*ROTLA-finished
*Holiday-Finished
*Buttsecks-finished (hopefully.)
*Mecha-almost done (have something that could pass for beta)
*Villain-1/2 done beta
*Valentines-1/4 done beta
*WTF2-3/4 done
*Signs of Darkness & Grief-Need to start
*Rainbow Cotton-Need to Start
Fwee!And I did the sig for Darkness and Grief. I said I'd do it anyway. Then Yeiweh had said something about "come over to the goth side" or something. Then the quote "Come over to the dark side. We have cookies!" came up, so I posted this banner: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/_media/sitebanners/amvdarksidegirl.gif. Then the person asked if that was the sig. I told them it was a banner I did, but I could make it into the sig, so I did. Except I obviously made it the right size, and I put the MEP name in place of the org logo. So yeah. And now that Rafe's done his game, he can concentrate on the rest of his life. . .like his mecha beta. :P Plah. I hate this weather. Rafe gave me a back massage last night, but with this weather, my back is so sore and tender I can barely tell. Well, he just went back home. NExt weekend, my family and I are going there because we're going to a Navy game @ Anapolis. Plah!Not much going on. Cats being goofy as usual. FWEEE! I should probably get something to eat. And Happy b-day to Minion!!! *^_^* And btw Yeiweh, when's your b-day? FOOD!!!!
