   Angry Editors Syndrome (also known as AES)

Time: 4:41
Currently listening to: Getting Away with Murder by Papa Roach

Well I'm in the middle of saving my AMV I'm in the process of working on called "Taking Over Me". As you may figure, it features the song "Taking over me" by Evanescence, but what you don't know is that it uses footage from the anime Elfen Lied.

*waits*

(computer):....4 more minutes....

*sighs*

Takes so long to freaking save a few minutes! Well movie maker does save at a really high level, so I guess I should be thankful for that.

(computer):...2 minutes remaining...

Aurgh! I swear Movie Maker must've crashed at least thirty times while making this video! It hasn't crashed while I've been in the middle of saving so I guess I'm thankful for that.

(computer):...45 seconds remaining...

Oh, thank god! Finally we're in the seconds range!

(computer):...saving completed...

Yes! Finally!

*watches*

Okay that was my final demo. I refuse to go back and edit anything now. Not until I go over to my fiends house and use her MacBook to put the final touches on it.

*leers at MacBook*

Nya!! I'm sooooo jealous of her!! I wanna MacBook

*chibi eyes*

Argh, great now I gotta convert it into an MPEG-4 file so it'll run in iTunes. The only problem is, they don't give how long it'll take to convert. All they have is a status bar, but no "3 minutes" sorta thing.

*sighs*

The Problems with Being an AMV Editor:

1. I have horrible programs aka Windows Movie Maker

2. Windows Movie Maker has a habit of crashing on me at the most unopritune times

3. The save times for Movie Maker are extremely long

4. I notice every single f***ing mistake after I've saved it!!!

5. The convertion process is so damn long!! (only about half way through with "T.O.M" right now)

*does head/desk*

I'm about ready to punch my monitor screen in right now :P

2/3 of the way done. The quality had better be as good as the original AVI file or I'm gonna rip some ones head off and shove it up their ass. -_-; As you can probably tell I'm a little wound up right now.

3/4 done.

*sighs*

This had better work. If it does I can show my friend(s) on my mom's Video iPod. I'll just tell her my nano's battery died.

*a while later*

I hate my computer x( ... It total destroyed my video when I converted it... I think I need to go lay down now... I'm starting to get a headache...

Well, I finally did it...
Time: 7:19 PM
Currently Listening to: HeadStrong by Trapt

I finally finished Elfen Lied. If it had been my choice I would have watched the whole thing in one day, but my friend and I both desided to watch it together at her house. I watched it last night and the ending still gets to me. I mean I thought the ending was gonna be a lot longer, you know? I now feel like there's this part of me that's unfufilled... lacking if you will. Well at least it's not like "End of Eva". I had to watch that like three or four times to even begin to comprehend what was really going on.

Anywho, I installed a Cbox that you can use if you can't sign the guestbook (or if your to lazy to click over one page).

Finally, I have a burning question.

Is it Wrong to Change Yourself Because of a Guy?

I know people tell you, you shouldn't change/cover up your interests or personality to get a guy to like you, but is that really wrong? What if it was showing interest in something he liked? Soccer for instance (if you don't understance what I'm referencing, look back to my last post or PM me if you still don't understand). Would it be wrong to learn about his interest/obsession?

I just sometimes worry about him. I mean just recently he was hit in the head by a big guy at our school yesterday while playing, and suffered a concussion. He's not going to be able to play for two weeks, and it's a day after it happened and he still looks like hell. *Sigh* I just hope he get's better soon...

   I feel a case of depression coming on...

Time: 7:50 PM
Currently Listening to: My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne

I won't bore you with details, but recently I've just gotten over an extremely bad cold, and now have piles of work to get back to. I, once again, have fallen behind. Along with that, I've had friendship problems and guy problems.
I hate how people just have to bring up old crushes, or bug you about current ones.

Like I have a friend who continually bugs me about a crush I have on a guy at my school. So what if I've liked him for the past three years??? She doesn't know it, but every time she says something about him to make me feel better, like calling him short or something, it makes me feel guilty for liking him in the first place. I mean, what soccer otaku would go out with an anime otaku? None. Plain and simple. I've been shot down three times for god's sake!! I can't even talk to him now, things are so awkward between us...

Well I'm going to go finish my homework and then go to bed...

   Total boredom...
Currently listening to: what goes around comes around by justin timberlake

//////

Well I'm supposed to be doing me stupid french homework right now, but...well I'd just rather not. I mean we have to conjigate (<--most defintly spelt that wrong) verbs and...blech... Not to mention my french teacher is bipolar (figuratively not literaly speaking). God, I had something I wanted to talk about but I really can't remember what it is.

Well, "Lacey's" still being a bitch if that counts. We've stopped talking to each other. Finally her lying ass is out of my life. Hmm...I need sugar. Sorry, I've hit my low portion of the day :D

Boy I bet you can tell I get bored really easily? Like just last weekend I made a Death Note out of an old note book and some old construction paper. Cost me about...Two dollars ^_^ Lot cheaper than the iBook made to look like a death note, though I admit they look pretty sweet *drools* ME WANT!!!!*runs off crying*.

My stupid scanner failed on me, so I won't be able to put up some really cool pictures I recently drew ;-; Karma hates me...

I'm still working on my fanfiction "Innocence of a Diclonius" even though the notice says I am taking a break. This is because I sometimes just have that urge to write, but that doesn't happen to often, and when it does it's usually something that comes on later in the story not the next more recent chapter. But I also have to go back and retype/edit some of the chapters *glances at chapter 3 and shudders*.

Well, better get back to my french...


BYE!!!!! :D

Edit 6:35PM :

Probably going to be going to Christmas Mountain with a friend of mine over spring break!!!!!! *does happy dance*
WAAAOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!! This has totally made my day! :DDD
...Okay I'm done... -_-;

   Well it's here...my first rant

Greetings! Welcome to my page! I hope you enjoy your stay here. Well my name's Grace and I'm going to school as of now. I'm working with some friends of mine, trying to put together a podcast for all of you who are willing to listen.

And now I'm sorry to say, but I have a rant I would like to post up a rant...the following may contain langauge so be forwarned. If you are mature enough to handle this then read on...

I have a friend at school, Lacey* who you might call a "Light Switch Friend". She's someone who acts like your best friend one minute and the next she acts like a total bitch. What really hurts is when she does it behind my back. Take 2 weeks ago for instance. Wednesday I had gone home with the stomache flu after my second class. That afternoon after school Tammy* calls me up to see if I'm okay. After talking with her for a while I learned that when Tammy had asked Lacey where I was, she told her that I had gone to the hostpital because I had "cut myself to deep". Now let it be known now, I am NOT gothic, NOR do I cut myself. Why she would say something like that is beyond me, but now that I think about it, she's been like this ever since I've known her. Take this e-mail conversation for instance:

My message:
"Okay people I am getting sick and tired of getting chain letters. I mean I just cleaned out my inbox and 1 third of the mail I had were chain letters. Now if you don't want me to block you from sending me any thing YOU WILL STOP SENDING ME CHAIN LETTERS!!!!!!!!! I am just sick and tired of waiting for an important emailand the only messages I'm getting are chain letters! So as I said before, remove me from you auto list for sending chain letters or I shall block you, no questions asked. This will be your only warning, since i've given to many out already. i'm done, and fed up with chain letters. Thank you for your time."

Her reply:
"gosh grace, don't be such a freak. here i am, all happy when i see your name in my inbox, thinking you're about to thank me for giving you *exboyfriendsname*'s email. but no, grace has to go have a freakout and completely forget about the fact that i just possibly saved her relationship. whatevs. just don't expect help any time soon."

My thoughs when she sent my this reply: "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?"

My actual reply:
Lacy I wasn't talking just to you. That was a mass email just letting people know that I'm fed up with getting chain mail, but hey go ahead and be mad at me. It's not like I care.

Her reply:
look, grace, i'm sorry for sending you stupid chain mail letters. they're just chain mail. nothing to get your boxers in a twist about. besides, i sent you an important email containing your "boyfriend's" email address. or is that not important to you? is xxxxx not important to you? that's what i think you're really mad about. xxxxx. you're mad that i'm telling you something that you already know. you and xxxxx's relationship is on the rocks. email him. that may help. i'm not saying that you and griff are gonna break up or anything. i'm just telling it like it is and giving advice as i see fit. if you don't want that advice, just say the word.
oh, and you never said thank you. so you're welcome.

My thoughs: WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!?!?

Her reply:
oh god. why is the subject of your hate*mail "apology not accepted" when what you're ranting about is me saying you should apologize? besides, you guys are all up in MY business. friends know what's going on with each other, they know each others secrets. you, however, are not being friendly or a friend. friends also know each other, and obviously you don't, because you would know that when i insult people it's not really insulting, it's joking. it means i care about you. that's why we throw yo momma jokes at each other. it's being fun.
besides, i've already apologized. i'm saying you should apologize because you threw a freak out when i was on the phone with you and hung up. all i was asking was if his email was right, cuz i have no idea who i got that email address from. it was just sitting on my desk. i wasn't being "nosy", as you so rudely put it. besides, have i been being nosy lately. no. i didn't even ask about you and stupid frikin' xxxxx. the last time i spoke to you i asked if you knew where taylor was. rude? no. nosy? no. (kudos for you&xxxx) man are you a lot snobbier than when i THOUGHT i knew you. "so if you can tell me why you think i should apologize i'll CONSIDER it." i'm sure the gabby group would give you an honorary welcome if they saw that.

See what i mean when I say total and utter bitch? *Fumes* She needs to learn to stay out of other peoples fucking business.
