So...in a bit of "just want to say I did it" I'm in the process of making a video review ala Nostalgia Critic/Linkara/Spoony. Although it's more a mix of their style plus Let's Play since I'm not purposely doing bad shows. In fact my pilot will be of Soul Eater ep 1, which is obviously a good show (at least in the beginning). If it's a hit and I become an INTERNET CELEBRITY, that's great. But if it bombs and I want to never speak of it again, oh well. It's pretty barebones since (1)I'm poor and (2)I don't want to go out and get good equipment just for it to bomb.

Last week of classes...should maybe figure out when MSD final is since I haven't gone to class in weeks. Other finals are set, only two tests, but two presentations...one to the high brass of the CoE in addition to a doctor that will try to pitch the idea to Johnson & Johnson for BIG BUCKS.

One week after taking Yoris from 29 to 51, he got all the way to......53 this week. Yeah, I wasn't playing WoW much.

But nevermind all that shit, EVERYBODY SAMURAI!

Yesterday, while I was making my video (Will/Emma - What did she say) I realized that these two are having loads of cute scenes together! I didn't realize it since yesterday when I was going a little bit crazy cos I had too much material for a such short video. That's weird cos I'm always complaining that I want more Will/Emma action lolz! So, today I decided to make...well... Let's call it a little experiment.
I've made a lot of picspam and there are almost all about ships towards a season of their show. I've always wanted to try to do a "Top 10 moments" or something like that so today I tried with this couple.

I have been negligent in my duties! Sorry. Here now, a blot post.

Nothing at game I can talk about, really. Promotions are nice. Maggots are not.

I really wish I had about 70 spare points to spend on my sheet.

I guess that's it for now.

Remember a few entries ago where I wished I was back in early college? I think I figured out why. And I have a perfect example/similarity.

Remember early Bleach? We're talking mid- to late-Soul Society arc at the latest. Remember how smooth, unique, and new it felt and was? That to me defined my first year and a half here at UI. Fresh, new, unique, exciting, fun.

Look at Bleach now. The freshness is gone, the uniqueness washed away, and now it just feels like a mix of a chore and a habit. You tend to stop caring for a little bit and then knocking yourself back into it due to habit or in the case of school, to not fail. Every once in a while something will knock you back into having interest in it (Nel, an exciting class), but it still feels chore-like at times.

How strangely coincidental, since the Bleach anime debuted during, you guessed it, my first semester of freshman year. And as much as I try, I can't get that back. There's no turning back the clock. You can't go home again. The only thing to do is finish (or drop) and find a new series. Hopefully this publication ends in May and a new story will start.

Perhaps even a better one.

So, as many of you have noticed from my facebook status updates, there's been a lot of stress going on.

Most of this stems from a mistake that I made.

Through my own negligence, I ended up spending about $1,000 last month through Rent, Gas, and other fees. I ended up charging about $110 in "overdraft Protection fees", but managed to have four of those reversed. Not the best, but better.

The main problem came when my mom called me last night.
She yelled at me, accused me of ruining christmas for the family because Dad had to bail me out.

For those who don't know, my dad had a stroke 7 years ago. He's still the top engineer in his division, and he makes enough to support my family, until I made this mistake. He gets stressed out easilly, especially after his triple heart bypass earlier this year. I feel horrible for what I did, and need any help I can get.

Here's where the painful part comes in.

Christmas is in a few weeks, and I want to repay him in time to save Christmas, and my sanity, for my family.

I could go about this a few ways. asking all my friends one by one if they can loan me $20 would be really tedious, and I'd feel like even more of a heel than I do now.

What I can do, however, is start to sell my stuff. I have DVDs, Wallscrolls, Porcelain Dolls, and enough anime crap to kill a yak.

I am also willing to do photographic commissions, as well as mixing ringtones and any other requests. I can also do photoshoots, or just play my violin on a street corner if that helps.

It's gotten to the point where I'm wondering if i should donate Plasma. Now, most of my friends know i'm TERRIFIED of needles. >< This is how despreate I am.

If anyone at all can help, even if it's just a few bucks, please message me privately. I will pay everyone back as soon as I'm able.

Thank you.
