UPDATED MY PROFILE
2003-04-13 09:28:30
It's finally done thanks to Anime Jedi! *runs around the house in joy* Go check it out (click the link on top of the page that says Member Profile). It only took me about three hours to write it and one hour on top of that to make all the bolds, italics, underlines and links work. *puff puff*
Everything should be in order. I tested all the links. There probably is some grammar mistakes, but with my english I can't spot them. Feel free to let me know if you find some. ^_^ You can find my contacts in my new profile.
Actually this is the third version. I never published the second because I didn't know how to make headings. But don't worry, this third version is actually the shortest one of the three. Strange but true. Lol
I did a spell checking on the first version of my profile and it had so many mistakes. I also realized that I've been spelling finnish wrong. What I've meant when I was talking about finnish was Finnish with a capital F!!! So sue me. I can't even spell my own nationality right. *mopes* Well you people who are reading this are bright and must have understood what I was talking about even without a capital F. *crosses fingers and hopes really hard*
I tried to upload my profile picture. I really did. My ftp site is down and half of the files that make up my home page are mysteriously missing. I found out that I can can do some web page designing in my OpenOffice, but that program was too difficult to use and besides I don't want to tamper with the existing files. I'd just end up messing the whole thing and I still use that page. It's handy when I have time to surf the net in work because it has all of my bookmarks. =^)
After this whole ordeal I'm so exhausted that I need to do something relaxing. Guess what that is? Watching anime of course. I have two new episodes of Naruto and umm... maybe I'll watch Please Save My Earth too. I already saw the first episode and it seemed really interesting. It's a strange anime. Not like Excel Saga is hyper strange or HACK//.Sign is mystical strange, but it just weird strange and that's really something coming from me. *grin*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It took me two months to get 100 journal hits. That was week and a half ago. Now I have 201 journal hits. O.o At least I'm not talking all by myself or am I.... dun dun dun...xp
Week has gone by and it seems that I have to review Koop's Euphoria after all. I like it that much that I want it in my top 10 video list. I just don't know when I'll have time to do it. Next week's going to be pretty busy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO ANIME JEDI: Thank you for your help with my profile. It's greatly appreciated.*bows* I'm just so happy that it it's finally a bit more easy to read. =DDDDDDDD -
10 hours of work = Awesome avatar
2003-04-12 14:37:00
*yawn* Is that spelled with w or v? I don't know and I'm too tired to care. I just spent ten hours doing my avatar. Crazy huh?
First I had to take screen shots of Excel Saga. Then I clipped the images in Abode Photoshop. After that I worked with them in Abode ImageReady. I didn't even know that you could do animated gifs with that program. I've never done them before. I did some painting over with the pictures to get Excel out of the picture. It's not an Excel avatar. It's a female, but not Excel. Some resizing and now I have a 80x80 avatar that is 43,0 KB big. I don't know how to make it smaller. I read the help page, tried few hundred different things to save it differently and nothing. It has ten frames and I really don't want cut down the number of the frames.
But enough of that trouble. The most important part is that I had loads of fun doing this. I learned a lot too. Now I know that I can make animated gifs. I wasn't all that sure that I could. If I can't make it fit the 6KB limit on my own, I might have to go bug people in the forums. There's no Save for web in ImageReady.
I also did about five pictures for my profile. I haven't decided what to use yet. Well there's no hurry since my ftp is down and I can't find Windows FrontPage anywhere on my computer. I don't know how to use any other program and html language just goes woosh over my head.
Lol Some other person could have done a Linkin Ballz video in the time that I did an avatar. Just beware because my avatar makes you feel sea sick, but it doesn't flash at all. ~_~

*drool*

Just something that I forgot to say about yesterday. We went to this small shop witch actually has some anime. They had about 20 anime DVDs. I know that that's pathetic compared to what you can find in a shop in the USA, but I live in Finland and 20 DVDs of anime is a wonder to come across. There are about two shops that have anime in the capital and this was one of them.
They had Cowboy bebop, Chopits,, Love Hina, Akira, Silent Mobius, Lupin III, La Blue Girl and so on. Great! But... there was only one DVD of each show. Suxxors! I want a whole series and not just episodes 13-17 of Cowboy Bebop or episodes 20-25 of Love Hina. So I just drooled and didn't buy anything. $_$ -
Just an update (sarcasm)
2003-04-12 05:46:21
*gasp* I didn't write yesterday in my journal. I spend the whole day with my friend the amateur photographer one. She came to visit me in my work and I showed her the archive. She was impressed. =) After I got off we went to helsinki (capital) and bought tickets to concerts. I'm going to Sonata Arctica's concert next Friday. They are my favorite band so I'm thrilled. I'm also going to see Flaming Sideburns in May. Apparently they are some finnish rock band. I've never heard of them. I'm just going with my friend. That's what friends are for. ^_^
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's finally weekend (at least in the timezone where I am). I got to sleep late (about 8 AM). That's late for me because I usually only get to sleep to 6AM You'd think that waking up that early every day would become easy after doing so for almost three months already, but no. It's the biggest challenge of the day to wake up and I'm not kidding with this one. I'm not a morning person. I have no trouble falling sleep when the night comes. It's the waking up part that's difficult for me.
*fidget fidget* To share the dream that I had last night with the org or not to share... *fidget fidget* I'll share. =P So I had a dream where Jbone was editing his newest video. It was a Gundam Wing video. Unfortunately I don't remember the music anymore. *goes off to check Jbone's profile* Nope. There where no Gundam Wing videos. We'll just have to wait and see what his next video is. Lol ^_^ I'm just joking. I'm no Hitomi (Escaflowne). I can't predict the future.
This is the third org related dream in few months. ^_^; I spend way too much time here, but I always have so much fun here. It's so weird to have dreams about people that you don't know at all. That just proves that I have a vivid imagination. I've learned to live with it. I control my imagination and not the other way around.

There is a woodcutter coming to cut down some trees from our backyard today. About twenty trees are going to be chopped down. There's still going to be many more left standing. I probably will have to go and help with every thing. We'll burn the extra wood branches in a big pile. All of the snow hasn't yet melted down so there shouldn't be danger of a forest fire, but you still have to watch the bonfire.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
About my last journal entry (see below) I'd just like to say that don't expect anything from me. Only believe it when you have actually seen a video from me. I'm not making any promises. This way everybody will be happy.
I also managed to fix the problem with that one folder. I deleted the whole thing. Now it doesn't crash anymore. I'm just relieved that I don't have to reinstall Windows. And because my F-drive is now operational again I moved all of my videos there. 10GB well spent and another 10GB free for downloading more videos and then there's still all the free space in my other drives (BTW I have no idea if I've translated drive properly, but I hope you understand what I mean). ^_^

In the VCAs I tried to download his PFS!, but it refused to download so instead I got this. XP I still like it and I still don't have PFS!. I'm still waiting for the carrot. I got a letter on Thursday that I can upload my videos in the dangling carrot. Umm great, but I don't have any videos. Grekon666 and Simpi from my studio have their videos there. *pimping*
I'll start to work on my profile now. I already tested if the whole title, link and stuff like that would work in my journal too (privately). It didn't. Maybe it's for the best, but I'm guessing that then it won't work in video information neither. I also removed all links to my home page. Just thought to spare people the agony of actually going there. They suck and the ftp site where all of my pictures were doesn't even work now. =(
Way off topic, but Kitsune (my cat) is so cute. She's sleeping on my sofa. Adorable! -
How stupid is this? (another question title)
2003-04-10 15:27:34
I've been having some trouble with my computer (for a change). Every time I try to open this folder that has some videos in it the window (not windows) crashes. I've ignored the problem for a long time now. I can still watch the videos through WMP so it didn't matter so much.
The thing that caused this problem is kinda embarrassing. I even amazed myself of how stupid I was. >_< I was downloading videos to my E-drive. I got bored. Can you guess the rest? I started to move all of my videos from E-drive to F-drive because the E-drive was becoming full. I only realized my great error when IE crashed when the computer started to move the file that I was downloading to another location. *_* Yup, I panged my head to the table a few times after that. It didn't help at all.
Now I've tried all kinds of tricks to fix the problem. I found out what file was the one that wasn't entirely moved yet. I deleted that file (one berserk video for the greater good). It was difficult because the window crashed every time you opened it. I had to be really fast. After few tries I succeeded.
That didn't help. It still crashes and complaints that ´Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.´ So I unistall Internet Explorer from my Windows XP. It didn't help. Next I'm going to delete the whole folder with it's content. I have it copied to D-drive. There it works just fine. I wonder why. Well it did crash at frst, but after I deleted the berserk video it works just fine. If deleting the folder doesn't work, I have to reinstall my windows for the freaking third time in three months. I've been having some trouble. Yes indeed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a conversation from my ICQ from a while back as I remember it. I don't really remember the name of the guy that well. He was one of the many that just randomly try to charm me. I try to be polite to these strangers all though they are really annoying. My sn is Lupu.
Yago354: Hi there princess! What color are your eyes?
Lupu: Sorry, but I'm busy.
Yago354: Ok. But I still want to know what color your eyes are.
At least I still remember that one because it was funny. If I have time I'm all up to chatting with people. It's a bit difficult for me because I have bad english, but it's still fun. Just say something that will identify you to be from the amv.org and I won't be that cold to you (hopefully).

I'll add those to my profile when I finish it. As you might have noticed my reader in my case few days doesn't mean two days, but about a week.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been receiving some pressure from some people to actually make my first video. Just so that you know that's the worst possible thing to do if you want me to do it. I just totally close up and isolate myself when people try to mess with my life.
Doing things half way through isn't part of my vocabulary (I would die of shame if I had to pronounce that word in public). I try to do things as perfectly as I can. If I can't accomplish that, I won't do it at all. There's no in between. Or should I say that I hate doing things that way. How does this effect me doing videos?
I like to plan things in advance. I've written all of my ideas down on my computer (12 pages long). Is this bad? I want to read Ermac's and AD's guide before I start doing anything. Is this bad? I'd like to rip my X-DVD just to gain experience. I'm not planning any videos of it. I have no inspiration for a X video. I would think that ripping DVD's just for fun wouldn't be considered strange here of all places.
I'd like to order a DVD of the anime that I'm planning to do my first video of. Is this bad? Should I just use the DigiSub that I have? The music I already have on CD. Actually it's a single, but big difference.
I'd also like to learn how to use my Vegas Video and other programs. Is this so bad? I also would like to make myself a decent profile with the advice that I got from Kevin. And an avatar that I've been planning for almost two months now. And a picture in my profile. It would also be nice if my web page would work. My mom forgot to pay for it.
I want a decent intro for my video. I already am a part of a yet non-existing studio. I would like to have a home page for our studio. Is this so frigging wrong?
What more? Oh yeah, I would like to have my personal life in order. I'm worried of quite many things. The thing that I mentioned in my rant titled as ´Ignore this´ being one of them. I'm not willing to give up on any more of my hobbies. I'd like to be able to go to sleep a bit earlier. It's already 11PM. Way past my bedtime.
*looks back at what I wrote* You want to know where all of that whining came from? Somebody hurt my feelings. I ain't really angry. I'm just hurt. So I'm also moody. Normally I just laugh at things that would hurt someone else's feelings. I'm okay with almost everything, but when somebody manages to hurts my feelings, I do get offended. Most people don't even realize when they have hurt my feelings and it's better that way. I can just mope in my own solitude.
Oh well, I'll live. Things will be better after few days, but I still don't like to be pressured. This is exactly why I normally never share my dreams with anybody. They just get crushed out in the open. It's a good thing that I'm so damn stubborn. I don't give up easily.
Good night! I hope that I'll have another dream tonight about an anime con. Last night I had a dream where I met many people from here. Unfortunately I didn't have money to actually go to the con, but meeting all the people was great. Am I obsessed or what? I would love to go to some con and meet people and do all sorts of fun stuff and watch videos for hours. That would be so great. *dreamy eyes*
