I recently deleted my 'iulli17' backup account for Warmhearted Productions. I deleted it simply because it linked too closely with a lot of personal sites under a similar title, and I thought a new backup account was necessary anyway... the other had a strike or two on it, if I recall.
I'm currently still heavily involved with college and blogging.... I edit from time to time, but it is a rarity. I try to work on each of my projects at least once a week! It's difficult when you have so much weighing on your shoulders.
However, CTAS is making progress! ....After nearly a year. I'm sorry for the looonng wait, everyone. Both Shadowfox and I have been trying to get through school and have life to tend to. But we at last have nearly all of the lines from our VA's and we'll be editing our scenes slowly but surely. Perhaps by this summer we'll be pumping out episodes faster.
Anyway....just a quick update! Once I create a new backup account, I'll let everyone know!
Until then <3

Where has WH been?
Good question.
Actually, I would like to elaborate on the reasons for my lack of recent activity amongst the youtube and skype worlds I would normally inhabit.
Though I do still plan on editing from time to time (and yes I do have many projects planned), I've been very caught up with my blogging and music life...as well as college and other valid ordeals involving the RL.
I will definitely be editing when I have the chance, but it isn't a main priority to me any longer, as I have to begin focusing on the future and where my life will lead me. I am currently working on my final year of community college before I receive my AA degree. From there, I'll either be transferring to a four year college to embark on a Journalism major, or moving from my home and starting a career and life elsewhere.
I have always and forever will love working with film, and whether my editing evolves into indie film-making, or stays loyal to the brilliant animation of anime, I'll continue to endeavor and deliver. I've been messing around with footage ever since I was 13...there's no way I could possibly drop it entirely.
I hope this all makes sense to everyone. To say it in a basic manner; I WILL still be editing. Just not frequently.
Regarding CTAS: I have no doubt that Shadowfox and I will continue working with it eventually, as I certainly don't want to abandon the project. However, it has become difficult for me to participate in voice acting, and for this reason I've discontinued all involvement with other projects except Clannad The Abridged Series. Once further news has surfaced about what will become of the series, you will all be notified.
I love you all. You have been so kind and encouraging throughout my times on youtube. I've made some dear friends that I plan on always keeping and I will still be floating around, working on films here and there, and keeping you updated on my life.
WH hasn't gone anywhere. It's just trying to get things done one step at a time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
2011 never looked so great!
Thank you all for being so supportive of me throughout 2010. I'm so excited to face this new year with a creative mind and many plans for my editing!
Although I did not see many of you during 2010, I had one of the best years of my life. If my computer hadn't have killed over in Dec. 09, I don't know if the majority of the good times I had would have happened at all! For this reason, I'm encouraging everyone to take a step back from their computer screens, go out and live! I know how it is, the computer can engulf your life if you let it sometimes. But you just need to tell yourself that for at least a day or two out of your week, you'll go have some fun with your friends, take a road trip, listen to some good music! Get into a new hobby, learn to play an instrument! Try new things and gain new experiences!
I promise it's a decision you'll thank yourself for later.
Don't get me wrong, I love my computer. And to be able to edit again is like a dream. But I've given myself more flexibility to do the other things that make me feel alive, rather than just tooling away at my keyboard for hours on end.
Just some advice I had to learn for myself that I wanted to share :)
My new years resolution this year is to dedicate myself to my school work and cease procrastination; Get my school work done BEFORE anything else, and then have time to do the things I love. Procrastination is, afterall, my closest friend and my worst enemy.
2011 is going to be a rough year for me, but I also know that it's going to be a great one!
<3 Love you all, as always. Hope everyone kicked off the new year well!
I'll be working on a few MEP parts for the next couple weeks, but I have a few projects of my own brewing also. Stay tuned!

WH is back.
I just released a fascinatingly short announcement video informing the masses of what's become of me! Well, in all simplicity, WH productions is back!
Not everyone knew I was off my hiatus, and I haven't got any complete projects to release presently, so I decided to get something short and sweet out there to bring forth the beginning of a new era.
...I'm getting too prompt.
Basically, I have tons upon TONS of scribbled plans that are going into effect as we speak!.... Read....Type...... I can't wait to get some of these projects finished. Stay patient with me, I won't let anyone down.
At this time, I'm nearly finished with my MEP projects, which means I'm all warmed up and ready to attack some of my own notions.
I hope I can bring some good things your way SOOON. :]
p.s. Thanks for all the WB's and hellos from all of you! I have truly appreciated each and every one.
See you soon!

November has come.
I've taken on more hours at work, so I have less free time. But I'm still keeping up with my editing! After finishing Ga Rei: Zero last night I've decided to use it for the InnerpartySystem MEP, rather than Shikabane Hime. It's perfect for my part! I can't wait to start working with it.... I have about a week and a half left before my first beta is due.
I'm 8 seconds into my Lacuna Coil Part, it's coming along well. I'm really looking forward to working on some of my own stuff soon, after these mep part's are finished! I'm using these projects as ways to get some practice in before I truly jump back into the game.
I love the time change, today was a 25 hour day. I think we could all use an extra hour from time to time.

InnerpartySystem MEP
This is the second and last MEP I'll be participating in for awhile. I'm so excited for this one though, because it has more to it than just a fun purpose! Estervillle's InnerpartySystem MEP will be entered into an AMV contest this January. So in other words... I need to step up my game and fast!
I wanted to be apart of this even though I just got off my hiatus mostly because I've ALWAYS wanted to edit to InnerpartySystem and just never got around to it. When I saw the audition video, I HAD to at least attempt for a part. On top of being accepted into the project, I get to edit to my favorite song by them, Die Tonight Live Forever! So I'm stoked.
Before I can jump right back into editing, I've had to re-download and convert episode after episode of the animes I'll be needing for the two mep's I'm currently active in. I'm ALMOST done converting both seasons of Higurashi for the Lacuna Coil MEP, and then I'll be attacking the conversion of all my Shikabane Hime AKA and Kuro episodes for the InnerpartySystem project. I'm hoping I'll have all the conversion done by November 1st, if not sooner. I'll be working on these mep parts simultaneously, so both have equal priority. I won't be working on anything else except for CTAS business until both of these parts are finished and turned in! I have tons of plans for both these parts, I just hope I can conjure up my previous editing skills to be able to make these turn out as fantastic as I want them to!
Wish me luck
<3
I've been trying to keep my blog as up to date as possible with what I'm doing, editing and VAing wise. I'll continue to do so, just to keep everyone posted. I am 100% off of hiatus and ready to jump back in the game. I'll have new things popping up here and there soon! :]

A Project is Announced!
When SapphireStar26 asked me if I wanted to work with her and a few other editors on an MEP project featuring Lacuna Coil, I couldn't resist!
The first thing I'll be working on since my hiatus' end is part 14 of the Lacuna Coil [Dawn of Darkness] MEP! I'll be using Higurashi no naku koro ni and kai... Can't WAIT to get started!
And a quick side note.... I'M 21 TODAY!! About time.

WH. Its coming.
It's nearly here!
New videos and continued Clannad The Abridged Series episodes! Plus a few new muses.
My return is marked as of today, paying my first visit to Skype with an online status in what seems like years! I've missed you all SO much.
There's going to be a lot of important changes. Due to my life and the hectic schedule I possess, I'm going to have to limit my activity strictly to my own projects and abridged series. I want to send out an apology for those who were involved or looking forward to the K-On! fandub. I wanted to continue working on it, but so much time has passed and I'll need that extra time for school when I start classes again in January.
I WILL be continuing my voice acting....pay a visit to my VAA if you're interested in my work and want to contact me!
I'll be leaving most of my MEP groups, due to the inactivity within all of them. I apologize to the leaders for the sudden notice! I'll be staying in Silver Starlight Productions however.
So--
My hiatus is officially OVER.
First things first, CTAS scripting. Shadowfoxx85 and I are going to try and have a complete script to send out to our cast within the next 2 weeks!
Also, expect a return video to be released on my channel soon.
~~
What else can you expect from me?
The other half of my internet life revolves around music and the blogging of my ventures to festivals and concerts! Also life as viewed by me and other ramblings... Check out my Rapt. Blog and Personal Twitter!
~~
It's so amazing to be back! I look forward to a new chapter of editing!
Much love!

without further ado...
I have quite some news!
After months of being computerless and having to rely on my madre's dinosaur of a laptop, things are finally starting to turn around for me. I'm able to get myself a brand new laptop! Needless to say, I'm stoked. I've been rather melancholy about not being able to have my creative freedom... but at last, I'll be able to get back into the editing world of film and photography.
I'm still in the process of finding the right computer, but I plan to be fully up and running again by June.
Now, for some sadder news....I may not be as active as I once was in the editing world, as far as anime is concerned. I have a few main ideas for videos that I've jotted down over the months..and I'm definitely going to keep bringing some new things to you guys at my own pace. I'm also planning to still be active in Silver Starlight Productions, I miss and love them ;__; I'm also going to still be working with Clannad The Abridged Series, of course. I couldn't abandon my child!
And yes, I'm still a fully functioning amateur voice actress!
Sort of sounds like I'll still be just as active as I used to be.... but the reason why I say I won't be 100% is because there are other aspects of my life that I wish to focus on. I'll be taking classes online in the summer, and I'll also be working full-time and taking a few holidays here and there. I'm also planning on working with RL film and editing, come summer time...something I've always wanted to do, but never had the chance. We'll see though and I'll keep you posted on that.
I'll still be around! I never fully left the editing/youtube world. I've been sneaking around behind the scenes, keeping up with all your recent work and enjoying how much so many of you have progressed and grown in your editing abilities! I still have a lot to learn also, and I'm so happy to be able to return to something I love doing!
Don't be a stranger...if you want to talk, you can always message me on youtube or drop me a line on skype. You know where to find me ;)
I can't wait to get Warmhearted Productions back in action! See you all soon!

well then
I've started a new, more personal blog....about life and the sorts.
Mostly it's always been a dream of mine to have a culture blog about music and trends...the whole nine yards! who knows if it'll be successful or not, but heck why not? Linkage at the bottom.
Still no laptop for me. I'll be finding out soon if I'll be able to get a new one. I have my eye on the one I want. It's just a matter of time.
Miss you all, happy may.

parlez vous francais?
well, I owe everyone a hello! and finally, the big news about my hiatus and what is going on with my laptop situation.
You all know the story, I'm sure. I've only been complaining about it for 4 months now ahah. My hard drive randomly crashed in December. Winter quarter started for me and I didn't have time or money to go get it looked at. I feared for the worst for so long that soon I just sort of let everything go in peace. I was FINALLY able to take it in to a professional last week, and sure enough, the hard drive is no more...meaning everything on it is gone. Its a bit sad, considering I lost a lot of unfinished projects and all of my editing material. Be that as it may, I have decided to use this as a way to embark on a clean slate. I have a ton of fresh ideas brewing and I'm stoked to start editing once again!
The plan of action is not to get my old laptop fixed, but to go ahead and get a new one. I don't see the value in fixing a laptop that broke down within the first year of its life. Plus, it's already out-dated and laptop's now are much cheaper than they were when I bought mine.
I can't guarantee that this purchase will happen in the near future. I have to think about the money part of it too. So far I'm working my ass off saving for Coachella in April, as well as my car, and living in general....bills and what not. So I'm not exactly sure how long it will be until I am editing again.
Which brings me to my hiatus... I'm technically still on it, so I won't be partaking in any mep's, collabs, or any of my own projects. But I AM editing for Clannad right now...I'm using vegas on my mom's computer....she would slice me if she knew, she's convinced it will reek havoc on the condition of her dinosaur laptop. But I don't plan to do any heavy duty editing with it. I just wanted to keep CTAS flowing, and it wouldn't be fair to expect Shadowfoxx85 to do all of the editing himself lol.
Speaking of which...expect a new episode out in the next few weeks!!
Le sigh. I will be deleting any projects that I had listed on YT. Its quite depressive, but I'm not letting it get me down. There's always a chance to recreate.
I want to thank all of you for being so patient and loyal. I know you're all subscribed to my YT account to see my work, and sadly I haven't been able to pour my soul into anything new for a long while.... But I am so excited to start off fresh! I want to explore new styles of editing and different genres of music. I want to really express myself. I also want to start working with RL footage and pursuing other forms of editing.
I'm looking forward to it.
In the mean time, I love you all and will let you guys know when I'm off hiatus!

left hook;i didnt see you coming.
My dears, its been so very long since I updated here, so I sat down with some tea to say hello.
Much has been going on in the past month. My online class is going well...I'm trying my best to pass so I can finally move to math 99.... Oh bother!
I finally got my snowboarding season started....a bit late in January, but better late than never. I live in the great Northwest, so its not difficult to travel to and from major mountains. Frankly, I'm in love with it all over again.
Oh the many get togethers with friends and the experiences of my 20th year. It's been so fun. Despite the lowly dark skies and the bitter winter weather, I've come to harbor a new respect for the winter months. I've been having a really great time, and have had the chance to resolve new confidence in myself. I'm looking forward to everything now, and my stresses has softened.
Recently, I've gotten huge news that I'll be receiving a couple thousand dollars from social security due to an injury my dad had back in 07. He was unable to pay child support during my last year and a half of high school, so I am now getting all the money in my name! This is nothing short of wonderful, because now I can afford a down payment on a car! My mom has recently gotten a break too and we're finally able to pay off some bills and live a bit more comfortably. This doesn't mean, however, that I can rest easier. I still need to finish my AA, which will take another year or so for me since I slacked off a bit in school in 09. Despite the fact that I'm a Sophomore in college, I still need to complete 2 more math courses after my current one, complete 3 lab sciences, 2 more social sciences, and a large portion of humanities and electives.
I'll be submerging myself in school for the next year, I suppose. Its rather difficult to fathom, seeing as school and I have never mixed well. But with my lovely VW Golf, a good person at my side, and many good times ahead, I can't really complain.
My laptop! I've said this many times and I'm sure you're tired of hearing it...it's still out of order. But on the contrary, a good friend of mine has offered to take a look at it! And perhaps salvage my data, if possible. We've been planning on getting together to do this for a week or two now, but something seems to come up each time.. If we never get around to it, I'll be taking it in to some professionals. Although my times away from editing have been really good for me, I'm really beginning to miss it. I'll be sitting at home listening to my ipod, and inspiration will strike and I have to write down my ideas. I have so much planned! I really want to expand my editing, and cover all genres of music. The videos that I have posted on youtube hardly brush the surface of my muses. I adore indie music, but I'm also in love with r&b and some rap..and metal! Ohh baby. And the techno revolution has taken everything by storm, hasn't it? I just want to cover everything and have a lot of fun. I truly am looking forward to it.
Even if I can't save my files...which would mean losing one of my very important project...I still have a ton of fresh projects to band-aid that loss!
So not to fret, I haven't stopped my editing. Warmhearted Productions has been something very special to me and I'm still faithful to it.
I miss you all, but I am still online! You can find me on skype, and sometimes on msn. I still voice act for certain projects....and we just completed CTAS's 3rd script! I have high hopes for this episode. We're starting to find our grounds and develop the characters well. I enjoy playing Nagisa so much. Look forward to seeing some new faces and voice talents! Recording has begun, and shadowfoxx85 and I will BOTH will be editing. How is this possible? He was kind enough to lend me his version of vegas. I discreetly downloaded it to my mother's computer...I'm hoping she won't notice too much lol. I won't be editing videos with this vegas, its merely a temp to help with Clannad.
I've been thinking about starting a separate blog, one that touches on other aspects. I know...quite random...but I can't help but wonder what would come of my writings if I were to dig further. We'll see won't we? I won't stop writing in this blog, but there's a lot I'd rather not discuss here that I would feel more open discussing on an anonymous level.
If I haven't bored you to tears yet, thanks for reading <3 Sasquatch 2010 in May! It will be the 29th, 30th, and 31st. Everyone needs to join me!! Major line ups from amazing bands.
SASQUATCH.
Love <3
Much has been going on in the past month. My online class is going well...I'm trying my best to pass so I can finally move to math 99.... Oh bother!
I finally got my snowboarding season started....a bit late in January, but better late than never. I live in the great Northwest, so its not difficult to travel to and from major mountains. Frankly, I'm in love with it all over again.
Oh the many get togethers with friends and the experiences of my 20th year. It's been so fun. Despite the lowly dark skies and the bitter winter weather, I've come to harbor a new respect for the winter months. I've been having a really great time, and have had the chance to resolve new confidence in myself. I'm looking forward to everything now, and my stresses has softened.
Recently, I've gotten huge news that I'll be receiving a couple thousand dollars from social security due to an injury my dad had back in 07. He was unable to pay child support during my last year and a half of high school, so I am now getting all the money in my name! This is nothing short of wonderful, because now I can afford a down payment on a car! My mom has recently gotten a break too and we're finally able to pay off some bills and live a bit more comfortably. This doesn't mean, however, that I can rest easier. I still need to finish my AA, which will take another year or so for me since I slacked off a bit in school in 09. Despite the fact that I'm a Sophomore in college, I still need to complete 2 more math courses after my current one, complete 3 lab sciences, 2 more social sciences, and a large portion of humanities and electives.
I'll be submerging myself in school for the next year, I suppose. Its rather difficult to fathom, seeing as school and I have never mixed well. But with my lovely VW Golf, a good person at my side, and many good times ahead, I can't really complain.
My laptop! I've said this many times and I'm sure you're tired of hearing it...it's still out of order. But on the contrary, a good friend of mine has offered to take a look at it! And perhaps salvage my data, if possible. We've been planning on getting together to do this for a week or two now, but something seems to come up each time.. If we never get around to it, I'll be taking it in to some professionals. Although my times away from editing have been really good for me, I'm really beginning to miss it.

im not unfaithful, but i'll stray
feasting off life.
New quarter. Good things!!!
Online classes are...fun. My car runs and I drive it, but then I pity myself, for I know that it wouldn't be able to withstand a treacherous journey. I waaannt a new car. Poor pursy..she's had a long run. So many good times!! But all good things come to an end, yes? Like 4 months ago!
I have a lot of free time until April, so I'm using it to get better at math, write, walk Daisymay, work, save money, sleep, proceed to indulge on art, and maybe fall in love or something.
I am up late, pondering life, and I deemed it a worthy task to write something small and suggestive (not really) for all of you. The laptop is still in the white. When I have a chance, I'll have someone inspect it. Le GASP, I scripted soooomewhat with a certain Peej the other day. I'm going to do what I can, in terms of CTAS. Btw, have you subbed the backup account? I would love you quite a lot if you would!
http://www.youtube.com/CTASchannel
Thank you so <3 We're guna try and get the episodes back up on Youtube...soon? Either on the main channel or on the backup. TBS never stopped me.. it's certainly not going to stop CTAS.
Has anyone heard that some random fellow is trying to make another Clannad Abridged now?? Pardon me sir, but I accept your challenge. Assertively.
Well, aside from classes starting and the world spinning, there's not much going on. Whenever I find time to get on the computer, I have the usual habits. I seem to enjoy watching really bad amv's on youtube, and favoriting photography in massive bulk on deviantart. Facebook has somehow become automatically frequent for me. I go on msn and skype at times, but not very often. If you are a dear friend and haven't seen me on as much, it's not due to my lack of laptop. More of just, I don't have a lot of time or when I do have time, I'm either sleeping or out. I openly suggest that you message me if you need to get a hold of me...or dare I say, want to say hi. I'm an outcast who enjoys a few nice greetings from time to time.
:]
Well, I need to submerge myself in somber now.
Do keep in good health and start the new year off well.

to be gone, to be fair
I hope the Holidays have treated everyone well. Time has flown past me. Each year seems to draw a shorter time-span... Christmas came and went and here we are facing the new year again. 2010? That doesn't seem real. But a new year opens up vast amounts of new opportunities and experiences... treat each day kindly, and it will bestow you with goodness in return.
Sadly, I've yet to find out what will become of my laptop or my files. Its been 3 weeks since the hard drive crashed. At first I was quite intent on getting it fixed as soon as possible. But as Christmas got closer, I became busier. Slowly, the problem with my laptop became less and less of importance. I hate to admit it, but the time away from editing and other concerns has given me the chance to enjoy the Holidays more and spend it with friends and family rather then in front of the computer screen.
I can’t lie though, I miss my unfinished projects. Nearly everything lost can be replaced, except for the things I was working on. But I believe times are changing for me. If I don't get my files back, I think I'll view it as a very clean start to the new year...and carry on with other aspects of my life. I'm sure I'll continue editing eventually, but it may be awhile. I hope you are all patient with me when that times comes. You don’t know how hard it was for me to not be able to upload something for the Holidays. I truly want to do something for you all in the future. You have been loyal friends to me and great fans of my work. I’ll try not to let anyone down, so no worries <3
On to other matters...
Has it ever really bothered you when you discover something that you enjoy, and then you mention it to one person, and then all of a sudden the whole world is into that one thing, and you hate yourself for ever sharing your interest in the first place? That’s what happened with a certain Higashi no Eden. No one even knew what it was a few weeks ago, and I really liked that. It was something I could enjoy on my own. It really is such a great anime, after all. (I recommend it). But naturally, as how most good things end up, it has become so mainstream now that its almost impossible to look at it in the same light. Its rather irritating. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against people becoming fans of it. Everyone has a right to like something, I don't have a problem with any of that and its not like I could stop that from happening anyway. But its simply the fact that you think you’ve found something totally unique, and then surprise!, its not so unique anymore. Now youngsters I don’t even know are telling me, oh have you watched this? And I'm like, gritting my teeth saying "Yes...months ago."
Similar story with Owl City. I remember when a few of my friends and I were the only ones who knew about it, and now all of a sudden, the entire Universe is singing to it, and I'm just rolling my eyes.
I think I'm ranting about this for no reason... but has this sort of thing ever happened to you? I feel like I'm the only one in the world who feels this way xD
Christmas was good this year. I had more fun shopping for other people than wondering what I would get. I got my mom an ipod.. She was stoked! That was probably the highlight of my Christmas, watching her unwrap it. I got a new Camera and a few odds and ends. I really have been dying for a Kindle! Like soooo bad. But I'm probably going to have to save up my money for one of those. I received a huge bonus this year, which I happily spent in the city on gifts for my mom and friends.
I'm still without a car. I'm going to apply for a job at the bank to roll in some extra moo. I'm going to attempt to save up some money for a down payment somehow. I'm probably going to go for a Volkswagen Golf...black or white. My obsession has been a black jetta for years. But lately, the Golf has been calling to me. That or an audi. Ooh my god, what I wouldn't give..
I have one week left until I return to school. I've been having some difficulties placing in all of my classes. I think I'm still on the waiting list for one...
This is going to be an extremely hard quarter for me. I'm taking Math, Sociology, and Biology. Hopefully I won't drive myself crazy.
I would love to just avoid school at all costs, but I need to get my AA by next Fall and then figure out what I want to do after that...
it never ends, does it?
I’ve been making some big decisions lately…as far as my future goes. I’ve become very content with my choice of major, which will at the moment be English. Writing is my most beloved hobby and strongest subject. Since I was a 5th grader, I have been told by teachers that I have a gift of some sort…. Not that I’m sure I believe them, but I feel most confident when I’m doing something literary. So that’s the path I choose.
I’m also thinking seriously about moving to the LA area in a year or two… my mom did the same thing when she was my age, and I feel that most of my ambitions can be fulfilled down there, if I approach things correctly.
There’s much to be thankful for this Holiday season. I hope you all found happiness and warmth amongst your friends and family, and can carry on the Christmas spirit throughout the new year. Thank you all for being so good to me <3 I will try to return to you with a new video someday. You can rest assured that the next project I ever release will be dedicated to all of you.
Bless you and live in the music.

such is life.
I have quite some lovely news for everyone - My laptop is el doneo
As of this moment, I'm not sure what to expect. It happened so suddenly. I've backed up SOME things on my external, like old projects, CTAS episodes, and a few editing materials from way back in the day. But my main projects, my current animes, all of my photos, documents, CTAS info, K-On Fandub files, Sound effects, and all of my plug-ins, Vegas, particle, textures, brushes, Photoshop, and converting programs are ALL on my laptop..... which is basically locked away from my reach. According to people whom I've discussed the issue with, it appears to be a crash of my Hard Drive. What my laptop does is when I go to start it up, it plays this very sad sounding 3 note tune over and over a few times, then the HP logo appears as if it's going to start up, then after that it goes to a black screen and sits that way. In the upper left-hand corner, there's a little blinking underscore. That's it. How quaint.
I'm surprised I didn't kill over along with it! Seeing as I have some very dear things to me on that hard drive. I've gone into this very solemn state of depression xD ....Nah, I kid. But it is very unsettling. What makes matters worse is that the project I've been working on since August was JUST about done. I was going to release it by Christmas. I was also about to start editing for K-On and a few other projects I've been planning..
I'm not sure what I'll do. First thing, of course, is seeing if I can save my hard drive. I'll take it to a professional who can try and have a go at it. If I can salvage my files and programs, then I'll be able to re-boot my laptop and solve the problem. If and when this will happen, I'm not sure. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks or so.
I'm not limited to internet access however. I'll still be around. I just won't be editing for awhile...<3
I don't think I will stop editing if I lose everything. I view it as an art and I won't let such a skill escape me. I'll be keeping everyone posted on what becomes of my files, and ultimately my computer.

Its been far too long, blog!
Oh, where to begin. It has been so hectic. Have you heard the news? I'm 20! Oh, the joy of reaching near adulthood. This event occurred on the 15th of October, on which day I also was blessed with the happenings of my car breaking down, losing my lucky ring, eating terrible asian food, and being miserable as one of my friend's decided to throw nothing but drama at me while we were shopping that afternoon. Tell me, where is the love?
Oh, alls well that ends well. I was later treated to many amazing bday videos from YT friends and my best friend brought me cake at 11 p.m. It turned out to be quite a nice evening.
Unfortunately, my car never recovered. A similar break down happened last year and the temp fix we had done in December 08 served its purpose of merely being "temp." Now the car is officially done. So since October, I've had to punk my friends and family into giving me rides to and fro. I'm constantly on the look out for a new car, despite my lack of a down payment. Some friends of ours might be giving me one of their cars for free, so that might be the best route. I wouldn't have to make payments on a car I dont really like, and I can start saving up for a down later on. This takes me one step closer to the ultimate goal of owning my precious Black Jetta, Golf, and/or Audi <3
It will complete me.
Aside from that trauma, things have been well. I'm almost finished with my Fall quarter of school! I'm so stoked on Christmas break. This year, I'm going all out for the Holidays, and hoping to make many snowboarding trips.
~
I would like to throw out a few apologies for my current inactiveness on youtube! I haven't had the time to work on my full-length films, although I do plan to have my main project done before Christmas. Also! Something else to look forward to before Christmas, the first episode of the official K-On! Fandub! I'm so proud of it already. I have a lovely cast and we're in the process of recording. I'll be doing all the editing myself. I think it will turn out wonderfully! :]
Clannad The Abridged Series!.. 0__e Needless to say, TBS came after us, as I expected they would eventually. I'm a bit surprised that they took so long to find us! We've been official since August 1st, but TBS didn't catch us until early November. It was nice while it lasted! I've insisted that we need to relocate the main account, but as of right now we've only come to a joint agreement on making a back-up account. Shadowfoxx85 has decided to try re-uploading the episodes to the clannadTAS channel. Le sigh...we'll see how far that gets.
I'm not very devastated about all this, honestly. I find myself caring less and less about CTAS. I don't wish to abandon it, but TBS makes me so discouraged. We'll see. If we get more strikes, I almost see no point in continuing, unless we were to make our own website like TeamFourStar did. And even then, our series isn't nearly popular enough to take part in a venture like that. Oh well, there's always the abridged underground!
Meanwhile, both shadowfoxx85 and I are brainstorming ideas for episode 3, and he's waiting for me to make the announcement video reguarding these matters..... I should probably do that.
Oh the life of a nerd. I missed it so <3 I am currently watching Kamichu (episode 10) and Earth Girl Arjuna (W/SUBS!!) (episode 10). I find myself loving Arjuna so much. At first I wasn't sure about it, it's pretty controversial. But the subject of the story is intriguing to me, as I am "save the planet" crazed myself. Perhaps not to that extent, but its in my ballpark. Kamichu is adorable! But DO NOT watch the dub. Funimation did an awful job. Come to me and I'll hook you up with subs if you'd like. I have many other animes lined up to watch over the coming break...amoung my list, I'm most looking forward to Higashi no Eden and Kimi ni Todoke. There are so many others, but those two seem to stand out in my mind.
Is anyone as excited for Black Rock Shooter as I am?? April bebe! Now THAT'S my type of animation. The detail, the color, and character designs. So gorgeous. I personally can't wait to edit with it. -drools-
So, what keeps me busy in the editing world, aside from the abridged series and my fandub? I've been working on many MEP's for SSP as of late. I love them so. They are always down for some sort of fun excursion. I've found myself growing as an editor, thanks to them. Expect to see some awesome mep's coming out soon!
Frozen Wonderland Studios is beginning to gain activity again! I'm so glad!
Other groups I'm debating on dropping out of, because I simply don't have the time, espiecally when most of them are inactive.
Well, so many wonderful videos have caught my eye recently, but here is my favorite atm:
Oh, it is love.
Anyway, I've perhaps bored you at this point. The word "nap" come to mind. I only have today to finish a massive mep part, study for my anthropology test, and clean my room. I'm about to kill over though, so time for a bit of sloth mode.

Unfortunately, my car never recovered. A similar break down happened last year and the temp fix we had done in December 08 served its purpose of merely being "temp." Now the car is officially done. So since October, I've had to punk my friends and family into giving me rides to and fro. I'm constantly on the look out for a new car, despite my lack of a down payment. Some friends of ours might be giving me one of their cars for free, so that might be the best route. I wouldn't have to make payments on a car I dont really like, and I can start saving up for a down later on. This takes me one step closer to the ultimate goal of owning my precious Black Jetta, Golf, and/or Audi <3
It will complete me.
Aside from that trauma, things have been well. I'm almost finished with my Fall quarter of school! I'm so stoked on Christmas break. This year, I'm going all out for the Holidays, and hoping to make many snowboarding trips.

I would like to throw out a few apologies for my current inactiveness on youtube! I haven't had the time to work on my full-length films, although I do plan to have my main project done before Christmas. Also! Something else to look forward to before Christmas, the first episode of the official K-On! Fandub! I'm so proud of it already. I have a lovely cast and we're in the process of recording. I'll be doing all the editing myself. I think it will turn out wonderfully! :]
Clannad The Abridged Series!.. 0__e Needless to say, TBS came after us, as I expected they would eventually. I'm a bit surprised that they took so long to find us! We've been official since August 1st, but TBS didn't catch us until early November. It was nice while it lasted! I've insisted that we need to relocate the main account, but as of right now we've only come to a joint agreement on making a back-up account. Shadowfoxx85 has decided to try re-uploading the episodes to the clannadTAS channel. Le sigh...we'll see how far that gets.
I'm not very devastated about all this, honestly. I find myself caring less and less about CTAS. I don't wish to abandon it, but TBS makes me so discouraged. We'll see. If we get more strikes, I almost see no point in continuing, unless we were to make our own website like TeamFourStar did. And even then, our series isn't nearly popular enough to take part in a venture like that. Oh well, there's always the abridged underground!
Meanwhile, both shadowfoxx85 and I are brainstorming ideas for episode 3, and he's waiting for me to make the announcement video reguarding these matters..... I should probably do that.
Oh the life of a nerd. I missed it so <3 I am currently watching Kamichu (episode 10) and Earth Girl Arjuna (W/SUBS!!) (episode 10). I find myself loving Arjuna so much. At first I wasn't sure about it, it's pretty controversial. But the subject of the story is intriguing to me, as I am "save the planet" crazed myself. Perhaps not to that extent, but its in my ballpark. Kamichu is adorable! But DO NOT watch the dub. Funimation did an awful job. Come to me and I'll hook you up with subs if you'd like. I have many other animes lined up to watch over the coming break...amoung my list, I'm most looking forward to Higashi no Eden and Kimi ni Todoke. There are so many others, but those two seem to stand out in my mind.
Is anyone as excited for Black Rock Shooter as I am?? April bebe! Now THAT'S my type of animation. The detail, the color, and character designs. So gorgeous. I personally can't wait to edit with it. -drools-
So, what keeps me busy in the editing world, aside from the abridged series and my fandub? I've been working on many MEP's for SSP as of late. I love them so. They are always down for some sort of fun excursion. I've found myself growing as an editor, thanks to them. Expect to see some awesome mep's coming out soon!
Frozen Wonderland Studios is beginning to gain activity again! I'm so glad!
Other groups I'm debating on dropping out of, because I simply don't have the time, espiecally when most of them are inactive.
Well, so many wonderful videos have caught my eye recently, but here is my favorite atm:
Oh, it is love.
Anyway, I've perhaps bored you at this point. The word "nap" come to mind. I only have today to finish a massive mep part, study for my anthropology test, and clean my room. I'm about to kill over though, so time for a bit of sloth mode.

they were all. {dreaming}
Autumn has begun, and I've made it through my first two weeks of classes. It's rough, but it could be worse. Actually, I have a feeling it WILL get worse as the quarter drags on. I'm worried about my math. Since that seems to always be the only thing that holds me back. I'm going to try my best, hopefully make it through 72 so I can move on to 99, and suffer some more xD Once I get out of 99, I'll have one more math unit to accomplish, and then never again will I have to worry about the subject. That's a day I'm looking forward to.
The days are getting colder and colder. I'm finding it more difficult to make myself get out of bed at 5:30 each morning, lol. The blankets are so amazing and warm, I'd rather just sink further into them than have to get up and face the world. So metaphorical, but it's true!
My editing, as expected, has slowed. It's hard to find time and motivation to sit down and work on something! Nonetheless, I've completed a birthday video for 3 friends from SSP, which I'm hoping they'll enjoy. I have plans to finish my technicolor project, as well as a possible Halloween video I would like to start on. I love the idea, it's so bomb. But I need to finish watching some animes first before I start on it. The project might be late for Halloween, if I do it at all. I'm almost tempted to ask someone....to collab with me on it? It's such a killer idea. It must be brought to life!!
My birthday is in 10 days. How the heck did that happen so fast?! I'm so old and decrepit, in my prime. Idk what I'll be doing for my birthday... possibly nothing. Most of my friends have gone back to their Uni's now, and the ones I have here are busy with...eh, partying and not having to suffer through math like me lol. So more than likely, I'll just go out for dinner and maybe skip school that day lol. Oh joy.
I want to have an ice cream cake hand crafted for me, and have a smexy guy take me to the Space Needle for dinner and dance with me under the stars!! xD Anyone up for the clubs too?
Ok, I'm done.
There was no compition for the feat.
Which reminds me I haven't updated this thing in 2 weeks, so here's another that you MUST watch: [Soulmate]. Lovely creation by aoisenshi9 for Yor's bday.
Well, today will more than likely be spent studying for my math test tomorrow. First one of the quarter...rapture. At least I don’t have classes on Mondays. Gives me time to pick up the pieces.
Much love <3

And so...
{summer ends, and the autumn air drapes itself across me. But it is refreshing, and somehow soothing. The sky looks further than before.}
Today is my last day of summer <3 And quite literally, the last day of the season too. I planned on sleeping soundly for most of the day, but I was woken up early by my phone. A friend is heading back to western today, so she, myself, and another friend went for some coffee to say our goodbyes.
I'm feeling a lot better than last week. I guess you could say I'm fully cured, despite the occational sloth moment. This sloth will be in ultra status from now on though. There won't be anymore time to sleep in late and do as I please. School will make or break me. I'm excited, and a little bit scared, but it is something I'm hoping will fulfill me. Even though it's my sophomore year of college, I still feel so new to this. I feel like I should still be in grade school...how did time pass me by?
Since school will take up most of my time now, I'll mostly be focusing on things in this fashion:
1.)School.
2.) Friends and Fam (aka hang out sesh, concerts, road trips, parties, snowboarding etc.)
3.) Work.
4.) Personal things. (my art, writing, and photography)
5.) CTAS.
6.) One Main Amv Project at a time.
7.) K-On Fandub.
8.) MEP's.
I'm sure all of this will vary from time to time. I do want to have one main project going on. CTAS will also be a main focus, above most of my editing. K-On fandub hasn't established it's importance yet, but it could in the future. MEP's are near and dear to me, but I'm only taking part in a few at a time. I'll really have to be interested to say yes.
Anyway, sorry to bore.
Feat. video of the week is this amazing piece of work.
Some have told me this anime is a bit strange, but the animation looks beautiful, and I'm really tempted to begin watching it.
Also, please watch this. Por favor!
[Shattered]
I know, since when am I an HP fan? But it's Draco <333 Come on.
I get paid today...Ima paid, biz. I need to go buy paper or something lol. And wash my God awful car. It's filthy.
Wish me luck in school this week. I can't believe it's starting... I'll miss summer. But there's a lot to look forward to in autumn too :] I turn 20 in 24 days!! Oh gosh.
I'm at the 3:08 mark in my project! Out of 5:10, I think that's pretty good progress, considering I started like over a month ago XD! This will be dedicated to you guys <3 It's for me too, a bit. The message I want it to portray is an important one for everyone, including myself. Because you're all so dear to me and keep my spirit creating, I wanted to give this project my all. I'm finding more and more inspiration every day. I hope I can pass that inspiration on through my work.
{love.}

last summer days
I always miss summer when it goes. Summer for me is a time of free spirits and good times. I feel like this summer came and went so abruptly.
Much has happened though, most of which I'm grateful for <3 I have high hopes for the coming season. I hope everyone had an amazing summer, and are taking memories with them :]
Have I reached my corny/mushy level yet? :3
This week had been quiet and slow. I've been sick since last weekend and have missed work. Hoping to get over this by the time school starts..... in 6 days -___- Oh woe is I!! But the doc told me to rest my weary bones, so that's what I've been doing!
This has given me extra time to work on things like CTAS and some projects of mine. Scripting is finally done btw for CTAS, and now we're waiting on lines! I'll start editing bits at a time. Probably you can expect the episode to be out by the end of the month, at the latest. (Depending on how rough school treats me.)
Shockingly, I decided to take a dangerous leap and start a K-On Fandub! I'm actually really excited for it, but the progress of this project lies entirely in the auditioners hands. If I don't get a huge response and find the right VA's for my cast, then I might just drop the project. I can't be wasting my time now that college will be back in my life.
It's going to be a rough year.... I'm dreading math, but I'm going to try and get all my math classes done this year. So that means A LOT of studying and possibly tutoring... ugh. But I gotta face the music sometime, right?
I'm still slowly working on my main project... but I'm finding less and less inspiration for it. I haven't been able to just sit down and finish an amv in so long. (so long must mean a week or two, right? lol)
I'm hoping to just work on one thing at a time through the course of the school year. I may still participate in mep's, but very seldom. This won't affect VA work or Clannad abridged though. I'll try to keep a steady pace with those.
Feat. video of the week:
This is quite the masterpiece, I was astonished when I watched. This is the type of editing I admire. [sorry for the strange cut off in all these feat. videos. Thank YT for being rude in more ways than one.)
"Tama. You cannot strip here."
And so…the plot thickens xD
Live well and love often.
So long sweet summer
<3

{we used to leave the blue lights on}
95
{and there was a beat.}
Bumbershoot 09 was pretty much the most epic way to end the summer. I don't even know where to begin!
I was there on Saturday the 5th and Monday the 7th, and saw Natalie Portman's Shaved Head (a current favorite), All-American Rejects, Telekinesis, The Knux, Black Eyed Peas, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, and Metric (another current favorite). There was so much going on... Dance parties in tents, shopping the indie markets, crowd surfing, and Flatstock. Crowd surfing was MAJOR Bomb. Once I did it, I was so pumped. We did it once during Franz and again during Modest Mouse. I got right up to the front of the stage, in the mess of it all. So brutal, in terms of being thrown at least 20 feet in the air and then landing on top of people who are unaware of your arrival from the sky above haha. I must have a ton of fresh bruises, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Flatstock was the band poster expedition, where indie artists came to showcase their work. Seriously I could have stayed in the showcase all day, both days. Indie art is something I'm personally passionate about, so I was basically forcing my friends to go through the exhibit countless number of times. I'm sure I drove them crazy, but it couldn't be helped. I was in love.
Overall, both days were amazing. Black Eyed Peas, Franz, and Metric were my favorite bands to see, I think. If anyone wants to check out my pictures, just ask me for my facebook account. I should really put them up on flicker too....man I haven't updated that thing in ages.
Anyway, not much else happened this past week. I saw Ponyo! So adorable. Uhh, reunited with a few friends, got my tuition stuff taken care of... Ready for classes to start on the 22nd. Holy F Bomb, that's like...2 weeks away. I'm not looking forward to the immense homework and studying, but I'm excited about school to start. With Autumn must come great changes... despite my love for summer.
My birthday is almost a month away 0__o I'm going to be 20.....Jules 2.0! Idk if I can handle that upgrade ahah....
Ouran is love. Tama is Love. He's become my favorite fictional male :3 When did this happen! Oh Tama, you please me so...

Feat. Video!!!!
The small yet gorgeous preview xKaosu uploaded for 9/9/09. I'm so truly looking forward to the premiere <3
Currently, I am locked in an editing pause. I can't seem to work on anything, though my mind is overflowing with ideas! I wanted to continue my main project, but I have a feeling it will take much more than what I am expecting it will take to complete it in a timely manner. Instead I veered off to finish CTAS 02 script, which is finally done now. We're waiting for the proof readers opinions to move ahead or to fix things. I'm glad we have the script done now. I can't lie, it gets very aggravating when you know you have this daunting task on your shoulders. I want Clannad Abridged to be fun for everyone. Hopefully it will reach that level.
Anyway...I think I've ranted enough.
Thanks for 600+ subs @ Warmhearted Productions. I love you all so much, you inspire and bring out the best in me. I hope to continue creating.
Live and love, my friends.
