She's back yo!

I've returned from my camping trip! Which disabled me from updating last week....

so I guess I have 2 weeks to cover for you!

A lot of amazing good times have been going down! Like....finding out that the only boy I've ever truly harbored feelings for has felt the same way about me all these years and finally we can rekindle our old friendship <3
Also, camping on the East Side! Yes! My favorite place to be in the nice hot weather where I at last got my tan and spend zealous time diving off cliffs into the lake, tubing, jamming out on the road trip, wake boarding, henna drawing, and livinnggg!

I got home on Saturday night and had to turn around and work the next morning at 7 a.m. to 3 p.m..... then came home and crashed. I have today and tomorrow off, where I'm hoping to spend time with that certain someone, as well as get a few Bday vids out of the way.

Wondering about CTAS? Not to worry. Its still on, just going at a slow rate since I've been traveling and dealing with real life things. I'm eager to get back into the groove of editing. Before I finish episode 1 of CTAS though, I'll be dedicating most of my editing time to my NNT R3 entry. I don't plan to drop out of NNT! I want to keep going, it's been a fun tournament, and I love how generous they are with their deadlines :3

Anyway, I also want to get my other tagged video out, as well as my mep spring collection so I can clean up my channel a bit.

Oh yes....and DOWN WITH THE NEW CHANNEL DESIGNS ON YT!! That's a load of crap. I never liked the beta and from what Ive seen, no one else did either!
You wana go, YT? Bring it.

OMEGA MONDAY

Guess what.

It's Monday.

Or...it was 41 minutes ago.

If you didn't catch my last post, I'll be updating this thing every week on Mondays, to keep yah all up to speed with my life..

Not that anyone really reads this, and if you do, then hello there reader!

Anyway.

Events since last Monday.... let's make this interesting now.
It was the 8th! And I returned home from my trip across state to visit one of my best friend's high school graduation back where I grew up. It was good to get away and see everyone. It was a short-lived trip, however, because I had to be back for work again on the 10th. I'm hoping to drive over again sometime in July and visit again.
But yes, Monday and Tuesday were spent lazily laying about, watching Leave it to Beaver and Magnum PI....because I'm THAT cool.
It was back to work on Wednesday. Normally when I work, it's like the day is already wasted. I end up sleeping in too late and then I having to speed off to work. Before I know it, it's 9 at night and I'm back home on the computer until past midnight. It gets old.
When Friday finally rolled around, a friend of mine was determined to drag me to a party some guy friend's of ours were having. I really wasn't in the mood, but I decided to humor myself and join them. It's seriously been forever since I drank. Not since rain dance night, lol. So it was super fun, and then as the beer pong got busted out, I had a little too much after my round (total losing streak) and ended up getting sick. How embarrassing! I never get sick!
But surprisingly, everyone pampered me for the rest of the night. I was swooned over my countless people. It was fun to be with everyone and just get lost in the evening. <3 I've been out of the loop for so long, due to not taking classes during Spring quarter. It was SO awesome to chill with everyone again. I can't wait to start in the Fall again and get back into the college scene :)
I was pretty out of it on Saturday, but gave it my all at work. Sunday I had to work all morning, and finally got home and totally crashed and burned in my bed. Best thing ever.

And that's where I leave you! I'm on my only 2 days off, Monday and Tuesday, and I'm enjoying them quite amazingly.

In case you were curious, NO I have not edited A THING. Because I DO have a life. Places to be and people to chill with. I'm getting rather frustrated about editing recently. It is a hobby, yes. And something I feel I've worked hard at. But I don't like it when it becomes something of a job more than a hobby. It's when it becomes a job where I would much rather chuck my laptop into a river and run off into the obis! I don't want to get tired of it, but I want people to expect less mep's from me and more of my own stuff. I'm excited about CTAS, but don't expect me to pump out episode after episode. It's something that I never thought I could accomplish, but now with the help of Shadowfoxx85 and all of my amazing VA's, I'll now have what it takes to complete this project! But please keep in mind that this is something I plan to do ON THE SIDELINES this summer. It's not my main concern, and I'll get to scripting and editing episodes when I am able. And by able, I mean, when I actually WANT to.

I'm mostly just saying all this to vent. I feel like I've lost touch with the personal and rewarding side of my editing. I have many plans that I want to reach within the upcoming summer months, and I don't think I can go on much longer without tackling at least a few of them.
I promise I won't disappoint <3

Better be sunny up this road

Here I am at 4:00 a.m. I had revived my sleeping pattern over the weekend, and now I've gone and blown it.
I've been gone on a trip across state for a friend's graduation. It was so amazing to get away! It reminded me that there is life to be lived out there! When I came home, I felt like putting off editing all together... But then I was reminded of the many obligations I now have -___-

I've come to the decision to discontinue mep work for the summer. Its almost a hollow decision, because I'm sure if I come across an mep in one of my groups or a megamix that I can't go on without being apart of, I'll probably enter... But besides that, I won't be doing any mep parts from here until September. I've finally shortened my list down to 2 remaining parts.... One for the Viva Pop mep for Eternal Illusion, and the other for Bloody Lust hosted by Yorleni. Aside from those, I'm putting my foot down.

I'm getting rather aggravated. My book of ideas is overflowing with great inspirations, and yet I find myself having no time to work on ANY of them! (Of course I have time to write in a blog at 4 a.m. but that's beside the point!)
This month will be a busy one. It's already the 9th of June! Summer is underway. I'll be working long hours this summer to help with bills at home and to start saving for classes next Fall. I'll be online less, and spend most of my time with other things... as I feel that summer is too amazing of a season to miss sitting in front of a computer screen wasting away.
But I want to at least work on some of my own creations. No more mep's to tie me down and no more collabs!! Just TIME to embrace editing as more of a personal art, rather than a job.

Once summer ends, I'll probably take leave from my editing for awhile. Not because I feel I have to, but because I need to start focusing on college. I can't be fooling around with a hobby when I have science and math to get out of my hair by this time next year.
I'll probably work on one thing at a time, slowly, once school starts. So summer is really the only time I have to do as I please in the YT world.

So my summer work will include CTAS and personal projects :3 Oh yes, and NNT entries, depending on how far I get in the tournament.

-I want some cereal, but the milk is bad!
-I really hope to hang out with this old friend before he leaves!
-I miss Eastern already
-I want to finish EP 1 of CTAS SOON!!
-I want to cut my hair
