Get your car washed rain or shine!
Refi: Yes, so I see this add with the junk mail {FROM THE SNAIL MAIL IT'S NOT AN EMAIL PEOPLES!} about a car wash place and it says “Open every day rain or shine!” I would guess that they don’t get too much business on rainy days, infact I’ve never had need for a car wash-used a few free ones on my starving student card in college, but my car doesn’t get that dirty. And with all the wonderful rainstorms we have gotten here, my car is so squeaky clean that I don’t think that I will ever need to wash it again!
I’m sorry I didn’t explian about the Kurama/Maya AMV last time when I posted it ^^; {The song by the way is from Lion King II-great music, but not so much on plot. And yes the song is slow and boring, but after becoming familiar with it I found it more beautiful ^^} But you guys actually seemed to get it better than the YouTubers who commented and voted ( >.> had to delete some inattentive comments if you know what I mean) Thank you, I needed that after the hassle the others gave me. Yes I did a slideshow because Maya only appears in the manga, and to keep things even I only had Kurama shots from the same chapter instead of blending in Kurama animations. I’ll admit slideshows can be boring so I worked REAL hard (about 80 hours in all o.O) getting the pictures right and adding my own ‘animation’ to them, which I am glad you appreciated (Trust me, I REALLY needed to hear that, THANK YOU!) I also tried to place shots to go with the expression of the lyrics (my fav is where Maya is ‘chewing out’ Suichi for “They can have the world” and it flips to her being ecstatic beyond belief for “We’ll create our own” just to show off excessive mood swings that girls like us tend to get) and even progressed from Black and White to Color for dramatic effect (and when I added the chorus in an extra time to give room for the color changed the key to climax-itize it!) and then fade back into b&w to end calmly. Heart and soul put into a lovely message and how painstaking it was when others (except 411 who found it before my chance to post it here heehee) didn’t get it and said that it was “nothing special” ToT and “seen better” with no comment on why they didn’t like it or how I could improve. But you are a more cultured and refined breed I guess, who could interpret it’s beauty and appreciate my resourcefulness. At first I was way upset that I had WASTED 3 whole weeks of my life I dedicated to persuing a new (for me) form of art that I could have used to work on screenshots, stories, bugging FUNi until they let me in, other job searches, trying to find dates, etc. but even the best met critisim so I can’t let rejection let me down! As Eyes Rutherford said while quoting (sorry if it’s a bit off, I lent out my Spiral DVDs again) Kyotaka, “The ability to get back up after defeat is far more admirable than the ability to never fail.” I bet there’s even people out there that think the Mona Lisa is “nothing special” and it is considered a classic and one of the best. Can’t please everyone, so I better just work on pleasing myself ^^}
REQUEST (at least there was o.O it disappeared, but I’m still doing it for this week lol) FOR KENSHIN TRIVIA! {I’ll be sending out previously won prizes shortly!}
