-suspicious glance-

Hola!
So wow, it's been awhile since I updated this thing!

What on earth has been going on lately? Nothin off the top of my head...
Let's see......last post on March 14th...
Oh yes. So my warmhearted1717 account was suspended.... hard times a'comin! I was quite melancholy about this for about a month. It sucked having to start over from scratch...I wont lie about that. And yes, I'm not THAT selfless....I DID miss my 400+ subs.

BUT, a shimmering ray of hope presented itself to me at last, when my dear friend Sae (Gold3nPho3nix on YT) pulled me out of my rut and got me talking more with the amv editor community.
Ok, I know this may sound silly, but I never really communicated with any other editors! It was
very rare. I was sort of on my own in this vast waste land called youtube. But wow, now that that phase is over, I have quite a number of wonderful people looking out for me, and vise versa.
Let's see.....Winter Quarter finally ended in March, and Spring Break started. I didn't do hardly anything except work and hang out with a few friends from time to time. The next week, my best friend and I went over to Canada for her 19th bday. Crazy times <33
I decided I needed to take a quarter off school to start focusing on saving up more money, so I'm currently not taking any classes up at the college. Kinda bummed about it, but I really needed to prioritize my life (whatever that means).

I started working on more projects in April. I finally got my Simply Being Loved video done, and that totally wiped me out! So I decided to stay on track with my mep parts for awhile until all of them were finished and out of my hair! However, seems like after I finish one, another takes that one's spot XD So I'm still diligently working. Its all about the mep's right now, I'm guessing. I've been asked I don't know how many times to join other mep groups. I feel bad declining the leader's offers, but I just can't right now! I've got so much to do as it is!! T__T Sorry everyone.
However, a bit of a spontaneous event occurred a week or so ago. I was offered a spot in Silver Starlight Productions mep group. Now this, above other things, was more of an honor than a request. I about fell over in my chair!
So of course I accepted :3
Check out that beautiful member list, please:

I also joined two other megamix projects that SapphireStar and Yorleni are hosting. Quite excited about those. Shadowfoxx85 is also hosting his own Trance mep, so I worked on that with everyone....and I was ecstatic to work on the Lady Gaga Megamix too ^^

Oh man, runnin' out of time!!

Let's see.....

I finally...FINALLY finished After Story. And wow. It was perfect. A bit unrealistic towards the end, but heck, it was beautiful in my eyes.



I also at long last finished To Heart, which turned out to be an adorable little slice of life story, but nothing worth making an amv for. Maybe someday...to some indie song. But so far, no inspiration has conspired from it.

I began to watch Kodomo no Jikan for some reason XDD aaandd....let's just say it's a bit over the top with the ecchi-ness. It's still cute though. I probably would have continued the series, had I not run out of uncensored .avi file to use. All the files on veoh are censored, and its now confusing half the time.

Something I DID enjoy watching though, and gained massive inspiration from, was Munto TV. How could I miss something like this while it was airing back in the beginning of the year?! It's amazing...beyond amazing!! I highly recommend you watch it. KyoAni ftw!!!



I'm also head over heels in love with K-On! right now. It's just my little darling. It airs every Thursday, and subs come out on Fridays...just like Clannad did. So it all works out for the best :3




Well...I would love to stay and chat, really I would. But work is calling me and I'm still not even dressed. Curse this word and the horrible work schedule of mine...


Things I neeeed to do!!!
1.) Get a hair cut
2.) Ride bike more
3.) Start tanning
4.) Finish Hold your Colour mep this week!!
5.) Apply for that bistro job...

-cries-

So...

My beloved youtube account of 2 years was suspended. F you, Tokyo Broadcasting Inc....
I had a gut feeling that this would happen! I thought, wow I've already reached over 400 + subscribers, I'm finally where I want to be in my film editing, and I'm so in love with my account design.... I've got all my wonderful and supportive YT friends, I'm involved in 4 great MEP Studios......this is just too good to be true!
And low and behold! Thursday morning I was awoke early, thought I would pop on to say good morning in a bulletin, and there is was...the message of complete desolation..
'Your account has been permanently Disabled'

I about died! DX Not this! It happened looong ago to me, back when my account was it's original warmhearted17! That poor account never stood a chance!
But this one was going strong.

Well, surprisingly, I didn't get as upset as I thought. I tried my best to think positively and try to shape this into an opportunity to refresh! I'd been meaning to take down all my older videos anyway... They weren't a good reflection on my current works.

Well, thankfully I have AMAZING companions there on YT, who have helped and encouraged me through this. I'm feeling a lot better.
It IS still sad though. I was about to start a dedication film to my first 400 subscribers. Who knows if I'll ever reach that many again. The number had built up over 2 years! But, it's not as much the subscriptions that I lost as it was the contact with people and other editors I look up to. Hopefully I can rebuild and recreate once again. I'm not down about this anymore! ^^

Oh gosh, I've got like 3 essays and 3 months worth of quick writes to finish before next Friday, the 20th! T__T

Counting down the days until Spring Break.....

I was going to go to an Andrea Nickatina (sp?) concert tonight with some friends, but...rawr, I have the flu and had to cancel on them last minute. I hope they don't hate me for it!! Plus I was running late getting ready, and they needed to gooo! So I just decided to skip out. But for payback, I have to go bungee jumping with my best friend one of these days. Let's hope she'll forget about that though...eh heh

Oh gosh, and I STILL haven't found the time to watch ep. 21 and 22 of After Story!!!! -dies- I must! It's the final episodes!!
Maybe I'll do that in the morning, hm?
If I'm awake that is..
