Haha well going onto YouTube and getting a few hits is hardly being famous, but I've been thinking of giving it a go. The only thing is, what's so different that people would want to regularly come back to watch my videos.
You watch other people all the time and think, hey, I could do that. But you go and learn about them and realise, that their vlog is based on their regular stand-up comedy, or that they've been doing this for years and their earlier videos are probably at a better standard that what you could do.
Maybe I could make it a group project, I would like to not put my uni work up there, in case a company liked it and wanted it. Techniqually putting it on YouTube means it's already been distributed...doesn't it?

On Counsilling...
After a little understanding I returned to my counciller a few days ago. It was very helpful, she simply joined a few dots for me without blaming my parents for everything that's going wrong with me...
It got quite emotional, but I left feeling good. I've been ordered to do something nice for myself which no-one else benefits from...may be going underwear shopping this week. Time for a pair that matches yes?!
Hehe, anyway...Getting into the new semster now, steady work flow coming in which is good, getting tired of this lazy butt sitting staring at YouTube and such all day!

On Birthdays...
Today is the party for my friends birthday...I'm all dressed up. And I feel quite good, it's a steampunk outfit that I adore. I love steampunk yes!
Also, I have decided to pick a career choice and stick to it.
I was thinking about Comic Book Writer and Tattooist, well why not try for both!! When I leave university, I intend to be poor just a little bit longer and aim to grab an apprenticeship in a tattoo parlour...Expansion of portfolio is needed...
Right now I am also enjoying floating around the dating sites. It's just a bit of fun getting to know new people, it's too early to be looking for anything serious! There are some very nice and mad people, had a few giggles with some comic fans...mostly about spiderman and how no-one talks about webspinning from his behind...I mean, that's where real spiders webs comes from!
Anyway, half an hour until all our friends are here. One last sweep of the house and I'm going out for a good time, enjoy your weekends all :P

On Relationships...
What a waste of time...Yes your right, it's just the sound of the newly single.
Although, I thought I would have a hard time accepting it...certain circumstances following the break-up have allowed me to be more if not completely confident with my decision...and that makes me feel both happy and sad.
Happy, because I know I did the right thing for myself
Sad, because I knew this is the kind of person I had put myself beside
I'm hoping this person understands soon that if they don't change they're going to lose people forever, but I doubt that, I've never known this person to genuinely blame themselves for anything that goes wrong with their life...it's always other people that seem to have screwed them over, nothing ever connects to their own behaviour...well, there was this one time yesturday. But it was still a cry for attention, or for a response...some sympathy maybe...so I don't really count it.
Ah, look at me babble about silly teenage boys...I'm so jealous of my mothers generation, the last lot of decent men! I hope I don't have to wait as long as she did to find my Mr. Right...let's face it, it took her 40 years...
The thing is, people tell you, "you're a beautiful girl, you'll find a new man easy!" - yes, but that's not my problem, the men...well boys, are all unrespectful dolts who don't deserve the girl they get...I'm not saying there are no nightmare girlfriends...because my god there definitely are! But there are far too many of both sex that play about "Hey, I'm only so old, I don't want to be tied down!" So it's a short term relationship...maybe it'll only last six months...I'd still demand respect.

On Selling Work...
I keep thinking about ways to get money faster so I can afford a BJD.
My suggested I start selling some of my artwork on Ebay, I didn't think that was a bad idea at all. I was looking around Ebay to try and find if others where selling off their own art, but all I found was big canvas prints of anime stills and two pretty bad manga drawings...either a oportunity to sell what others don't...or it is a failed attempt by others...well, there's only one way to find out.
So yes, as soon as this film project is over, I will be drawing a few pieces and putting them up for sale as a test run. I hope it works, it would be lovely to see people that liked my art enough to want to buy it =3

On BJD Dolls...
I have been looking at these beautiful, fully customisable dolls for a little while now. I had to stop looking while doing my work, work costs money...
But I have been looking more closely at them again and have found my perfect first BJD doll. She is a Dikadoll, Kid, Blanca ver.2. She is absolutely adorable. She costs around about £200 with everything, but I am going to look for a wig and outfit elsewhere, so with just a face-up she is £168.
I have had the name Claves (pro. "Clar-vaise") in my head for a while and seeing this dolls faces fitted that name perfectly as well. So begins my saving up for her...I'm trying to not be too rash with my student grant, we all get excited when our grants come in and heavy amounts of shopping ensues.
So I'm trying to be reasonable, but what I have come across with a lot of BJD fans and video makers on the youtubes, is that if you want it, you go ahead and buy it, regardless of financial implications...My reasonableness won't last long...Blanca Ver.2 has made a huge impact on me.
My friend is planning on purchasing the Rena doll, with face-up and pink wig, she doesn't like the dress for it. This will be her second BJD, her first is a doll love Leon, it hasn't been shipped yet, she is completely in love with him and has already planned her second doll. I only understood her love for Leon and BJD fans love for their dolls when I saw the perfect doll for me...

On Meeting New People...
Hello All, today I decided to meet some new people and make some friends - on the internet.
I decided to join oasis.com and show my face. I had a good time, it is firstly a dating site. I was there as it had a friendship selection and instant messaging, which I think is a lot more effective at talking and getting to know someone in a short space of time than just e-mail or personal messages.
But it's time to call it a day :3
Have a lot to do tomorrow, need to get some more food in as well as sorting this animation out...

On Working Hard...
Work is going smoother today, I handed in two assignments on time yesterday. So them being out of my head is a relief.
Working hard again today to finish drawing for an animation project. Seems to be working well.
Got a surprise visit also, wasn't expecting it so wasn't ready. I wasn't all that thrilled with it, I had planned to part with this individual, but apologises and promises are clouding my judgement; the "what if..." factor has reared its ugly head, I am unsure of whether to give it a go for the sake of second chances, or to get myself out of something that has been nothing but hard work and heartache for the last eight months...sounds simple when put like that, what is wrong with women like me
On a lighter note, I rediscovered the joys of jet set radio future music. I love love you has been on repeat for most of the day...between watching episodes of hornblower whilst working I assure you heheh

On Powerpoints...
I hate them. I have to have a completed presentation on directing actors ready for tomorrow. This includes casting and building dramatic structure.
I have had no information on how to structure or complete this presentation, only that I need to complete two presentations and it's due in tomorrow. My guess is that it must be what I learnt on a three day workshop that happened back in November, if so, I'm screwed. I cannot remember a thing from that ago, at least nothing important that will help me complete this presentation...
In other news, an essay I'm writing has been approved by my mentor and should be good to hand in tomorrow. At least my mind is at ease with one thing.

On Studying...
Ever have one of those days where no matter how much work you do, the pile doesn't seem to go down?
Well, that was today for me! Luckily I had received the Hornblower boxset for christmas, so time past a bit more fluidly and made me feel like I had a good pace with the work, I did finish the drawing and I'm two slides near to finishing one presentation, well the written part, all of the photos for it can't be obtained on this computer, all I need is screenshots and I don't have the software to just view the files. Darn.
At least it's tea time. I can put it down for a bit and check what's in the fridge instead. heheh x

On Getting Into...
One thing I have discovered, just by YouTubing recently is Vocaloid.
This group of people created a series of pop stars that are completely computer generated.
The voice is sythesized as is the music. And a drawn avatar is create by computer using 2D or 3D animaton to sing the songs.
All of the advertising work seems to be done by the fans. They drawn and create their own videos, which fuels media for the company. I thought it was a brilliant idea, inspiration for a 3rd year project maybe?
Hatsune Miku is the most well-known of these Vocaloid, maybe you've heard of her?

On Life Changing...
Hello All,
My christmas has been full of confidence battering. I came home for a rest from my studies, well sort of, I had a essay to write a animation to draw and I needed to find out what I had to do for another project.
University has been taking its toll on me, but being in the second year and halfway done, quitting university is a stupid idea at this stage. I have a dissertation proposal to write when I get back, and I haven't any idea what I want to specialise in. This film is a digital arts course, so you can produce anything you want in any digital format; films, photography, websites, games, music...it is incredibly vast. I went in for the film part, but after studying that with everything else, I'm not so sure now.
I find film quite boring now, I used to enjoy films, but ever since I've started this course, I've torn the films apart and can't look at them as a typical audience and not a critic. All of us take watching a film too seriously now, "that shot doesn't look like" or "the colours are wrong" and it furiates me.
So now I am stuck with what I want to do. What I do know is that I love to draw; if I'm drawing I'm happy. So maybe Graphic Novel Writing, Tattooing, Make-up Art, Game Art, Animation...Even a little photography...
