[how I miss your ranting. do you miss my all time lows]

Is it seriously almost September? Wow... summer flew by so quickly..

I'm home from my trip <3 I had an awesome time, though it was short-lived. Normally I would go over to visit for 2 or 3 weeks. But work is a beast, I had to take what I could get off. I'm still surprised that my boss allowed me the time off in the first place, after I had already taken off 2 weeks earlier in the summer for camping and Coldplay. But I'm grateful.
I spent my short vacation laying on the beach, in the hot Eastern Washington sun, up in the mountains, jumping off the rope swing into the lake, star gazing in the warm nights, and spending zealous time with my best friends. I always make sure to spend these times very carefully. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my life there. A part of me stays there when I leave.
I spent all day Saturday on the road and made it home in the night. Then had to turn around and work all day on Sunday.
I have today and tomorrow off, thank goodness. I needed the rest.

Shadowfoxx and I will be starting the rough script for CTAS ep 2 this week. He'll be heading back to college starting next week, so we decided to try and pick up the pace.
My mind has also been flooded with ideas for videos lately. As you know, I'm in the middle of a huge project right now, with a side YumemiXMunto amv I want to get going on as well.
I have been spending most of my fandom time musing over TamaHaru, which has quickly become my newest OTP. OTP's are rare for me. I don't normally follow the crowd or like a pairing that's popular. It has to happen by chance, I stumble across a good pairing after awhile and I'm hooked! For awhile now TamaHaru has been capturing my attention.. So I have plans for a big TamaHaru video, where I want to try my hand at editing with not only the anime, but the manga as well <33 Wish me luck! My song: Soular Flares by The Ready Set.

I didn't have much time to watch videos this week, but I think my feat. choice would have to be mentalprodigy's .star & sky}:
I totally just watched this a moment ago, but the song has always sung to my soul <3 Auto win.

I've done nothing today but sleep in and loaf around and catch up with friends online. It's a good day to be sloth.

I'm glad to be home. I have exactly a month until I start classes, so I'm hoping to use the time I have left wisely.

So tell me, do you have [soul <3]

Ello Love

I'm updating a day late! :3
Logically, I was unable to do much of anything yesterday because I was on the road for 7 hours, driving back home to spend time with friends before college. It's so good to be back here. There's no place like home.

So I've been rather curious, and I wonder if you could do something for me, dear reader. I really haven't a clue who reads this, but if someone does read my updates regularly, I would love to know! Send me a little message on my youtube account.

This past week was just a waiting game for this week. I worked and spent time with a friend before she heads off to her Uni. We're planning a goodbye party for her when I get back. I'm still working on that big project of mine, but to take a break from it I started a little project entitled Haruhi in Wonderland, which I finished within a day and uploaded to my account. I'm quite fond of it! Thanks for all the great comments thus far! I love you guys. I've been re-watched Ouran lately. I'm not sure when it happened, but TamaHaru is suddenly my OTP. I'm in love! I'm going to start reading the manga finally when I have time.

As I said in my last post, my current project won't be done until September probably. But I'm hoping it will turn out great!

My feat. video of the week was hard to choose, since I kept seeing some gorgeous works by all sorts of editors! But this one took the cake. It's aoisenshi9's From a Distance:

Of course I would pick a TamaHaru video this week, due to being so keen on them afterall. It's love.

Oh goodness, a grand thing that occured this week! I FINALLY got a new camera! A wondrous Nikon. I can finally get back to my photography and photo editing.

Anyway, I'm on vacation for a week now. This is the last big time off I'll get, so I'm taking advantage of it! It's hot and beatiful today, and the OC is on. Simple things can always make life better.

An overworked, anti-morning girl with a love for sleeping in and editing late is who I have become these past few weeks. Sad, really. So self-inflicted. But I'll take advantage of these carefree days as long as possible. Before I know it, classes will be starting in September and I'll have no time to paint my roses red.

By all means, please count down the days with me until Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland comes to theatres next year! I'm so stoked. I'm not really sure why, I was never a fan of Tim Burton. The Nightmare before Christmas thing just didn't do it for me. But his Alice in Wonderland will surely be a masterpiece.
Another movie I'm keen on is Where the Wild Things Are, which comes out in theatres the day after my birthday! Oh my goodness, let's goo!!

This week was rather interesting. For once. A good friend of mine and I drove over to Seattle to see Half Blood Prince at the imax. Honestly, it was so crazy awesome! Who knew Harry Potter would get so good! I used to despise HP, but now thanks to imax and Draco Malfoy, that has all changed <333

Oh yes, my feat. video of the week is Starsy7's Fairy Tale:

Not sure what is it, perhaps the fact that I've always loved this song. But she really captured the classic movie well in the lyrics, and I really enjoyed it.

Scripting for CTAS has begun, slowly. I have a lot of ideas, but I can't seem to sit down and make myself write them out! Now that our pilot is out, there's a lot of expectations weighing on us. Let's hope we can please everyone this time, not just the run of the mill youngens, who will laugh at anything you throw at them.

Recently, I have hit the 500 sub mark, and that was really a great thing to discover. Thank you so much to everyone who watches and enjoys my work. I'm honored! At this time, I am working on a big project for you guys. I'm thinking it won't be finished until September, but I've been diligent with it, and it takes up most of my time when it comes to editing. So please look forward to that... it will be dedicated to all of you.

I'm leaving again in a week to drive across state to visit friends in my hometown. My boss gave me some extra time off, thank goodness! I'll be gone all week, but I'll try to check my mail when I can.

Thank you again to all of you who have been so supportive and good to me. When I lost my account in March, I never dreamed I would make it back to this many viewers. I am truly appreciative.

Much love

This past week has been quite the repeat of the last, in terms of none stop working. I pretty much want to scream at this point. I'm so done with working 5 days a week!! Two days off just doesn't seem to be enough anymore!

To get to some good news, Shadowfoxx85 and I have released Clannad The Abridged Series!! I'm SO glad that it's done. I was about to kill over. We're going to jump right into scripting for episode 2 though, so we don't get behind. The first episode was split into two parts, which we thought might be troublesome to viewers. But so far, everything has been great in terms of popularity! I want to thank EVERYONE for being so patient with us.... and when I say us, I mostly mean thanks for being patient with me. ^^; I was gone a lot in June and July, and also went through some matters of the heart, so it took me longer than it probably could have to get the first episode all edited and ready. But that's all behind us now!
I want and plan to continue CTAS with Pete onward throughout the coming year. So please stay tuned!
I'm just glad that the pilot hasn't been torn apart yet by a serious reviewer.

Anyway. I'm so graciously thankful for a day off today! I slept in til 3 p.m....oh dear.
My featured video of the week is Fayt's NNT R4 entry, For Ever:


I fall in love with it every time I watch it. It's truly beautiful and makes me want to watch ToraDora a-sap!

I sat through and watched the first arc of Umineko no naku koro ni last night. It's a different story and setting than Higurashi, but it's tied together. Very creepy! But I still prefer Higurashi to it. Umi's still airing in Japan though, so I must wait to continue the series.
I haven't continued watching SM yet. I'm actually re-thinking if I will or not. It's so hard to watch a story you already know, even though I never watched the classic or R seasons. It's sort of obvious what happens. But we'll see.

It was SO outrageously hot earlier in the week. I was loving it! It reached 107, which is rare for the coastal area. But it only lasted about 3 days. The heat wave passed, and I found myself awakening Thursday morning to a chill in the air. The temp had dropped to 60 degrees and would never again climb back to the 100's.

I can't believe that I braved up and made my tagged video! With real footage of myself. 0__0 It was a bit scary to upload, but I've been reassured that people like it, so huzzah for revealing myself to the YT world!

I'm finally getting registered for college this week (took me long enough) I think I'll for sure be taking math 072 and Anthropology. I need one other class, but I can't decide which one at the moment. All the good classes has been cut due to the budget at my school. So not cool!
I'm not looking forward to this coming year....it's going to be my hardest I think. But I'll stick through it and climb this steep mountain of mine!

Catch you next week, loves <3>
