Updates and More: 2009

Almost 2010

Wow! It's almost a new year. And with the new year, comes a new year for me. That is, one year older. I'll be fifteen on December 30th! Along with dear DannyDomoSan. Be sure to wish him a happy birthday!

It's been a little while since my last update. My back is slowly and steadily getting better, which is nice, which also means that I can work on videos more and more often. I feel terrible that I wasn't able to participate in several MEPs/WORMs, but it honestly couldn't be helped. I'm just happy that I'm getting back on track with some collabs.

I've been slaving almost all day on my collab with DannyDomoSan, "See Who I Am". But out of working all day, I just reached the first verse about an hour ago. Yes, I've been working all day on that thirty second introduction. It's probably the hardest thing I've done in awhile. But I explained this to Danny, but I'm a perfectionist and have OCD when it comes to my videos. I can't upload something half-baked. So, I'm killing myself over it, trying to make it the best it can be. Plus, I'm trying to redeem myself from the crappy AMV I made with "See Who I Am" back when I used WMM. I mean... it was terrible. So, this is my way of apologizing to myself. Therefore, it has to be perfect.

Other than that, I'm also working on a quick collab with Rose, that was meant to be for Christmas. She called me on the 23rd and said, "Hey, let's do a Christmas collab!" You have to forgive me for being late with it, because it's the most freaking chroma keyer I've ever done in one video, and the coloring is hard to work with. So, hopefully I'll finish up the last part and upload it before the new year.

Last project, my "Drove Through Ghosts to Get Here" MEP for Unknown Studios. The parts are due New Year's Eve, but I talked to the owner, and she said it was fine that I'm late because of my back stuff. So, that'll be the first thing I finish in January. I've been dying to make a video with that song, so when she took my suggestion and made it the group's first project, I was ecstatic. Then bummed that I couldn't finish on time. So, I'll do my absolute best on that part! And thanks to her, for letting me rest up!

Other than that stuff, January will mostly be dedicated to my other collab with ChasingReality2009 - our Pendragon trailer. We've been planning it for awhile now, and we agreed to let January be our month to work on it. It's such a major project, we need to work in order, back and forth with each other to make it look good. Meaning, I'll have to do the first thirty seconds, send it to her, wait for her part before I can work on the next part. It'll be crazy, but worth it. Plus, it'll probably be a project that takes us months. We want it to look good, so we'll be working like mad on it in January. So that, and a couple studio audition videos will be taking up most of my time in January, plus the few MEPs I participate in (Evil Angel for Never Forgetting Memories).

Bittersweet Lullaby Production's auditions end on January 15th! Rose and I don't want to have to make extentions, so please audition if you have a chance! And if you have time, please send it out to some of your friends. We'd appreciate it! Thank you!

Join the Worthless Smiles Beta Battle Tournament! They're shooting for forty-four members before they begin, and we're nearly there!

Well...

Um, my back is worse.

That is, worse than it's ever been.
Ever.
In my history of back pain.

Honestly, I'm now at a loss of what to do about it. All I'm really doing is putting a heat patch on every day and then, nothing makes it feel better. So... don't expect very many videos. Like I said, Allison's birthday video and my Christmas video are probably all I can pop out this month.

Actually, that's a lie. Maybe those will be late too. Because now, something's come up, and I'm dropping everything to work on a new video.

As a lot of you might know, we lost a dear friend on Sunday. Maddie (Pokeycookiex3) died in a car accident. I didn't know her very well, but I was in a few studios with her and she was one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I'm taking it pretty hard myself, so I can't imagine how the people who were really close to her must feel like right now. I'm dumping all projects right now and making a video for her, because she deserves that. I've looked on her page a few times and I've noticed people are unsubscribing to her. I don't think I could ever do that. Maybe I'm just hoping it's all a misunderstanding and she'll upload something saying, "Sorry for the accident! I'm alright!" Maybe I just don't have the heart to press that button. I don't know anymore.

Anyway, I'm making a dedicatin video to her with all her friends in it. Once again, I don't know how many people read this, if any. But I have to say something. I'll miss her. I don't care if it kills me, I will finish a full video for her.

Visit her page and leave a note or something. Somebody will read it. A family member, a friend, anyone. They'll feel the warmth of your comments.

For people I know in real life - I don't know if I'll be as "Thalia-ish" as I normally am because I've been really thrown off-guard. I don't want to talk about it, because every time I mention it at all, I start to cry. Um, so... I want to apologize ahead of time for my probably-going-to-be non-talkative behavior. I'm just... drained. Physically, and now emotionally.

Plus, there's some family stuff going on right now that I'd rather not mention to anyone. But, that's been bugging me. I won't go into real detail on it right now, but if it gets worse, I'll let you guys know. Considering it could seriously effect my behavior. I just don't know right now.

PS - If you knew Maddie and were friends with her, drop me a note and let me know what character you'd like to be represented by in her video. I already have a few that are taken, and I'll let you know if that person's been assigned already.

Thanks.

Just keep breathing,
Thalia

Pain (Again)

So, most of you know by now that my back pain has struck again. Well, it's back (haha, a pun) again, due to extra pressure I've been taking by carrying three textbooks, two notebooks, and a binder to three classes in my backpack at school for the last month or so. I don't have time to stop at my locker between classes, so I've been carrying everything with me for the past little while. It finally caught up with me, so now I'm not able to even walk without lots of pain.

Fun, right?

Anyway, my two main projects to finish right now are 1) my Christmas video and 2) Allison's birthday video, since it's already late as it is. I have permission from most of the groups I'm in to be late with MEP/WORM parts because I can't work on videos very often right now. At least, the ones I've heard back from have told me that it's fine, and the people who haven't contacted me about it yet will just have to deal, since I'm not going to be able to do it. Considering the only one that really Christmas-y is the LoveLight Production WORM, which I'll do my best to complete on time.

So, other than that, I'm doing fine, haha. Expect things from me soon! Maybe.

Just keep breathing,
Thalia

100 Video Challenge - Links!

A Busy Holiday

I promised myself I'd update at least once a week, so here I am again. I'm beginning to wonder how many people actually read this. But I suppose it doesn't matter, since it really just helps me keep my head on straight with all the projects I'm working on.

Once again, Allison's birthday video is on HOLD. And her birthday is Sunday. Ugh! Maybe I'll have to end up doing what I didn't want to do, which would suck and probably ruin everything. But if it all comes down to it, I'll do what I have to to go with my plan. And only Rose will know what I'm talking about!

MEPs on top of that. Divinity of Oath Studios (http://www.youtube.com/group/divineoath2) will be starting an MEP, that'll be due... Christmas or a little after, I believe. I'm not sure what we're doing, just that Rose contacted me and told me she'd be sending parts out soon. So, I'll be kept posted on that, hopefully. Due - who knows when.

Meanwhile, LoveLight Productions (http://www.youtube.com/group/lovelightproductionn) is also hosting a Christmas MEP, which I believe I mentioned last time. I'm still debating whether to use Monster Buster Club or Ouran High School Host Club clips. Any suggestions? Please? I need help desperately! Due - December 22nd

Lastly, I just have to make a wishlist. Never Forgetting Memories Studios (http://www.youtube.com/group/memoriesneverforget) is putting all the members wishlists together, so I need to have one done by the twentieth. Due - December 20th.

Danny and I are collabing for our birthday on the thirtieth. I'm mega excited, because we're using a song that I did a video with WMM for, and I'm hoping to redeem myself with this. I'll do my best to make it epic, Danny!

Unknown Studios (http://www.youtube.com/group/TheUnknownStudio) is also doing an MEP with "Drove Through Ghosts to Get Here" by 65daysofstatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAZEcg8NLtM). I have a really epic part somewhere in the middle, so I'm really excited. I've always wanted to make a video with this song, but I wanted to use it in an MEP first to get a feel for editing this type of music. I'll be trying out a new style with it, so bear with me. Due - December 30th-January 1st

Finally, Dangerous Diamond Studios (http://ddstudio.ning.com/) is also hosting a Lady Gaga WORM. Unfortunately, all the songs by her I ever listened to (a grand total of three) were already taken, so I'm using "Starstruck" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Ftg24_IZc). Due - December 22nd.

Other than that, nothing much is going on. January has been reserved mostly for mine and Rose's Pendragon collab, because it's been planned since October and neither of us have been able to work at all on it. It'll probably be months before it's finished, though. Just a fair warning that we might not be as active in other stuff.

Yes, I know I promised a couple entries back that I wouldn't take on any more WORM/MEPs until I finished all the other stuff I had to do. I lied, I suppose. But I just couldn't not participate around Christmas time. But I swear, I'm doing as little as possible.

That being said, Never Forgetting Memories is also doing an MEP with "Evil Angel" by Breaking Benjamin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POjQgExXH6A).

And take part in Worhtless Smiles Beta Battle! http://www.youtube.com/group/worthlesssmiles Tons of amazing editors are taking part! Be one of them!

Audition for Bittersweet Lullaby Productions! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs9oF7LULso We'd love to have more people try out! Deadline is January 15th!

Christmas Time!

It's December! Which means Christmas is coming! Which means, tons of new projects!

First off, Allison's (TearWorkshop) birthday is the thirteenth! Everything is on hold until I get her birthday video finished. I hope she'll like it. I'll be working like crazy on it until I finish it, and I'll probably be putting just as much effort into it as I did for my "Demon" video (which is TONS). But, there are some other things I have to get done to start working on it, so it'll be at least another day or so until I can actually finish. It'll be a long process, and sadly, her present won't probably be ready until after her birthday. I'm sorry, Allison! I'm doing the best I can! Really!

Secondly, the AMV Maker Army is hosting a Secret Santa project that I'm mostly in charge of, so I'll be doing a lot of work with that this month. I'm hoping I can get more members to participate - it seems everyone so far is really busy. Maybe it'll turn into a New Year's Eve project or something. And with that is a wishlist for Never Forgetting Memories. Kill two birds with one stone, right?

Lastly, I have an MEP part due, as well. An Ouran Christmas part, to be exact. Yes, heaven help me. You can find AangelProduction's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi8LMf2RGSE). I'm part thirteen, so you can image the horror I will be going through - considering the only anime clips I have/are familiar with are my Ouran episodes. Wait... maybe I can do Monster Buster Club! I'm not sure that'd blow over so well, considering my part, haha.

Whoops! One more thing! I'm taking part in another MEP. You can ask rini106 about it (http://www.youtube.com/user/rini106) since she's the one who notified me about it in the first place. That, and I can remember/find the original video. So just ask her if you want to participate, because I think there are still parts open! You select a pairing and just do your part based on that pairing. I have a chorus, and I'm using Leon/Aerith, since I'm addicted to that pairing now, because of Angel (http://www.youtube.com/user/xAyaBreax). Thanks, Angel!

Just Another Update

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I won't be taking on any new MEPs, WORMs, or collabs until I've finished everything on my plate. That means, finishing up the collabs, MEPs, WORMs, and requests I have right now. I'll only be particiapting if it's absolutely neccessary. As in, the MEP/WORM will die if someone else doesn't participate.

So, as of right now, my priorites are:
Thanksgiving (WORM)
I'll Never Give Up (MEP)
Daydream (Request)
Heartbeat (Request)
NFM Promo
Gothic Angel (collab)
Bring Me to Life (collab)
Aren't We All Running? (collab)
Unbreakable (WORM/collab)

However, everybody, I am keeping requests for videos, icons, and backgrouds open.
Just be warned it'll be a little while before I can get to them.

Thanks!

What if I Made a {M I S T A K E}

My description is much too long to post on the video itself, so here it is.

This is my Faith value project for my church. I had to complete a visual project demonstrating my faith in Jesus Christ. I chose to make a video, with a song by an LDS singer.

Some of you may know (others may not) that I'm a Mormon. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm LDS. I'm very proud of it. If you hate religion, or hate my religion, or want to flame me or this video - just go away. This is what I believe in, and no matter what anyone ever says, I'll always know in my heart that it's true. Every last word of it.

Song: What if I Made a Mistake
Artist: Stephanie Smith
Clips: MormonMessages (http://www.youtube.com/user/MormonMessages), http://www.lds.org, lds9999 (http://www.youtube.com/user/lds9999)
Program: Sony Vegas 8.0
Dedication/Request: My church. And for anybody whose ever wondered if the Book of Mormon is a true testament of Jesus Christ. To anyone whose ever wondered if the Book of Mormon compliments the Bible. To anyone whose ever hated Mormons and for what they believe. To anyone who just wants to prove that we're liars. To anyone who simply wants to know if it's true.

A couple people saw the original of this video. I took it down because I wanted to change some parts. I took out the clips of God and Jesus actually appearing to Joseph Smith, because I didn't think it was quite appropiate. If you'd like to see the Joseph Smith movie in it's entirety, please go to http://www.youtube.com/user/lds9999. They have it uploaded, along with hundreds of other informational videos.

Anyway, this is a reupload. I pretty much put everything I had into this video. I cried several times while making it. I'm a strong believer in my faith. I really and truly am. And I've been yelled at, threatened, persecuted, and made fun of for what I believe in. There are thousands of people around the world who spend all their time trying to disprove the Book of Mormon. I'm here today to tell you whatever they say are lies. I swear to everyone reading this, and even those who aren't/won't that the Book of Mormon is a second testament of Jesus Christ. I'd die on that promise. If someone held a gun to my head and told me they'd take it away if I said it wasn't true, I'd let them shoot me.

For anyone who doesn't know what the Book of Mormon is or who Joseph Smith is, I'll fill you in right now.

Joseph Smith was a fifteen-year-old boy in 1820. He was confused about which church to join, and which of them were the true church. He read in James 5:1. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

Joseph prepared and went into the Sacred Grove to pray to the Father about which of the churches were the right church and which he should join. Suddenly, an overwhelming darkness gripped Joseph and pulled him down - suffocating him. He couldn't breathe. Then, a pillar of light descended on him, and the darkness was gone. Above him, were standing the Father and the Son. God and Jesus Christ.

God said, "This is my Beloved Son. Hear Him."

Jesus proceeded to tell Joseph that none of the churches were right, and that he would be the one to restore the one and true church of Christ to the earth. The church that had been lost when the apostles were killed.

Joseph was visited again by an angel several years later. The angel Moroni. He led Joseph to the Hill Cumora, in which the Plates of Brass were buried. Joseph spent 60 days, using the Urim and Thummin, translating the Book of Mormon from Egyption into English, with the help of two other men. Joseph brought it forward from the power of God and he was able to restore the gospel to the earth.

Peter, James, and John appeared to Joseph and the two men helping him (Oliver Coudry (sp) and Martin Harris) and betowed the priesthood keys to them - the priesthood Jesus and the apostles had used. These are keys no other church has.

Joseph Smith had a hard life. He and the followers of the church were run out of many cities and towns, threats and other dangers all around them. Joseph was tarred and feathered and the lives of his wife and children and himself were threatened daily.

Finally, the people who hated Joseph so finally captured him, and put him and his brother, Hyrum, into Carthage jail. There, they were shot and murdered. Before Joseph was shot, he bore his testimony to the guard watching them, of the power of the church and the Lord Jesus Christ. He died on that word.

Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum Smith, were martyrs.

Now, would a man who was a liar and a cheater die for that lie? Would he know he would face God in a matter of minutes for judgement, and lie straight to the face of a man? A liar and cheater would have denied the book, saying it was false and beg for his life to be spared.

Joseph Smith was no liar.

http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1117-28,00.html
Please, read this. Please, ask questions if you have them. I'll answer anything. Flamers and people trying to degrade this and what I believe in will be blocked and reported. This video is near and dear to my heart, and anyone who tries to insult it and what it stands for will not be tolerated.

I'm sorry I'm so serious on this video. But it's what I believe in, and what I have believed in my entire life.
For anyone curious about the Book of Mormon, you can get free copies anywhere - the church gives them out. You can be sent a copy. Please - read it. If I had one wish, I'd just want someone to read the Book of Mormon, and feel that Holy spirit when you're done and while you read that tells you it's true. I've felt that spirit many times reading the Book of Mormon - I know it's true. I don't believe it's enough to say you believe in Jesus Christ. You need to act on that belief and show that you believe it. Show it through your actions. Show it through the way you live and speak.

"There are two types of people in this world - those who believe Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and that he restored the true gospel to the earth - and those who think he was a liar and cheater, a false prophet, and a man of the devil. There is no in between."
-My Seminary teacher, Brother Wadsworth.

It's Been Awhile

Wow, it's been a looooong time. Sorry about that everyone.

Not too many updates. I'm finally finished with the bulk of the MEPs and WORMs I'd signed up for. Now all I have to do is finish up my Thanksgiving video and the new emotions WORM yokosen is hosting for Whispering My Shadows Studios. My emotion is pride (the good kind, however), and I'll be using "Unbreakable" by Fireflight, which will be fun.

...No, I'm not telling anyone what I'm doing for the Thanksgiving video.

Other than that, I have three collabs, one with Natasha (natasha242) with "Gothic Angel" by Avril Lavinge and Evanescence. It makes me feel better than since I haven't done anything for it, neither has she. Then another with Lau (Narutochaos22) with "Bring Me to Life", that we decided to... well, bring back to life, since we changed songs before. And lastly, one with Rose with "Aren't We All Running" by 65daysofstatic, which I hope will be the most epic thing I have ever done. I'm super excited for that one, since it's for a book series we both love, using characters from Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts to represent the characters in the book.

I'm only sad that we're going to have to kill Mark, since he's represented by Zack. And Pence, but that's a different matter.

Sadly, I'm not on my normal computer, so I don't have my awesome lists for the end of this entry. Ugh. Sorry. Next post, I'll have it all up again.

PS - Gen (Tifa326x) and 12ang45's birthdays are this month! Wish them both a happy birthday!

Oops!

I just realized too late that that talk that I gave a link for was from LAST YEAR'S conference! Click it if you want, but that's not the talk he gave with his powerful testimony!

http://www.mormon.com
OR
http://www.lds.org
One of these sites will have the talk posted!

Just Another Day in Fluville

HOLY ILLNESS, BATMAN.

Seriously, I am so freaking sick, it's not even funny. Mehhh. I'm just completely miserable, and have to be forced to eat anything from the time I get home from school to the time I wake up. I know I have to eat at school otherwise Alix is just going to get on my case for not eating anything. (ILU Alix) Anyway, that's going on, and mainly what's happening with me.

Besides that... nothing much.

I got to watch General Conference on Saturday and Sunday, which, for those who don't know, is a worldwide broadcast from Utah of the General Authorities of the LDS church gather and speak to us, giving us counsel and things like that. There are over 3 million people who watch General Conference the four days it happens every year, two days in October, and two days in April. It was great and very moving. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave an amazing testimony of the Book of Mormon and how true it is. Seriously, I was moved nearly to tears watching it. I mentioned it today in my church class at school (Seminary), and Brother Allen (name changed for safety reasons) played the video clip of it for everyone to see it again, mostly for those who had maybe missed it. I almost started crying right there in class. Now, it could have been due to the fact that I couldn't breathe because mucas was filling my entire head making me want to explode. However, I'm pretty sure the strength of his testimony was what was making me feel that way. : )

New Blog for Updates!

Whoa! So... I decided to just set up a blog. But not for personal purposes. Just so I don't have to have those dumb updates clouding up my YouTube profile. So, yes, this is just meant for the sole purpose that anyone who views my YouTube page and might wonder what the crap happened to me if I suddenly disappear for a long time... well, knows what happened. All my updates will be posted here from now on. Make sure to check! I'll post on my YouTube page when I update. But still be sure to check for any updates that might relate to me not being able to get online for a while, or something. For safety purposes, everyone's who I know personally in real life (including my own name) are being changed. No stalkers are going to get to us! *huzzah pose* The first time I mention somebody, I'll add their username (if they have one), so you can subscribe to them. Because all my friends are awesome!

Uh, updates for today...

So... I'm sick. Blehhhh. Not normal sick though. It's like a knife is being wrenched around in my stomach every time I do anything. *grumbles* I think life must hate me or something. Because the only way it doesn't hurt is if I'm doubled over... which makes my back hurt more. Stupid illness are mobbing meeeee! Therefore, sitting down, checking comments, messages, and writing in this update is killing me inside and out. But I thought everyone deserved to know why I wouldn't be around. Personally, I think it's due to too much freaking stress (I'm under a lot of it). But... who knows?

Anyway, technical stuff! I've got a lot of MEPs and a couple collabs (sorry to Rose {ChasingReality2009} and Natasha {natasha242}!) that I've been procrastinating on. I have to get a download somewhere for the AMVMA MEP part, which won't download for me that's due Oct. 11. Plus a promo for NFS that I told myself I would have done by Oct. 10th. ALSO, NFS MEP part due Oct. 11 as well. AND, I made it into round two of Sea Salt Ice Cream Beta Tournie! That's due Oct. 13.Good luck to my opponent, and good friend: ThePureHeartSora! I know they're gonna pwn me so badly.

PS - For Halloween, I'm gonna be Yuna! I just bid on her necklace, which I've been dying for, and found a handmade costume for fifty dollars that includes shipping! It's going to be customed too, which is always nice. Don't know how I'll manage her hair thingy though, considering I don't have pierced ears at all. Eh. My sister-in-law knows a place that converts earrings to clip-ons. So... Alix (TearWorkshop) is going to be Luffy (One Piece) and I'm going to be Yuna... who's Rose gonna be? Man, what a crack cosplay group this will be. But I guess it's more professional than the Alix - Vampire, Thalia - Ben Tennyson, Rose - Marluxia thing we had going on last year. I got hugged by seven-year-old boys who look up to Ben as their hero last year! It was awesome and adorable!
