At least my headache's gone...nope, there it is

[4] BEDA, 2011

So I launched my Social Media contest today.  I left this site out mainly because it's more of a side project, writing, personal, sort of thing.  I'd like to gain viewers and subscribers and followers on the sites used in the contest...not really this one.  I would not mind if others read this blog, of course, but it's not really a concern like the others are.  I don't often promote this blog and don't really ever plan to.  I can think of one other person who reads it and that's just fine.  I write for myself here anyways.

Today is the first full day of work I've had this month (Fridays tend to be short) and so far it's been fairly normal.  Next month will be a change (not at work but how I get to and from it)  so I won't take April for granted...no matter how much I might want to get it over with.  VEDA is helping as well, yet I'm not sure how doing VEDA during the work week is going to go... usually I film videos for JelliclesVlog and TheCreatingCat never on weekdays...so it might get down to the wire with VEDA...like posting at 11pm each night...eeep!

Ugggg, I waited a few hours to see if I could come up with anything more to post here...guess not.

so much makeup and film today...

[3] VEDA, April 3rd 2011

Today is BUSY.  I recorded footage for 3 videos and have to still edit yet a 4th.  What have I gotten myself into with this YouTube business, really...  It's all fun though...I'm not complaining.  The VEDA/BEDA thing though...might become overwhelming soon...we'll see.

I have to finish cleaning up my home bedroom before I head back to LA, which should be in the next few hours.  Gonna try and edit too...even though Tropic Thunder is on and I kind of want to take a nap.

Well, I guess I'll take off.  VEDA video is posted, JV video tomorrow, and main channel video tomorrow (a contest!) and I guess another VEDA video for tomorrow as well...

Later days!

Day 2

[2] BEDA - April 2nd, 2011

Sorry, this will be short.  I don't know if I'll have another chance to write anything today.  It's going to be a sad long day.  I'm not sure if I'm going back to LA tonight or tomorrow or Monday.  I guess I'll just have to play it by ear.  Take care everyone, see you tomorrow.

BEDA 2011 starts off!

[1] BEDA 2011 

Well here we are, April.  Finally, I thought this month would never come.  March was a very stressful, bad month.  I am looking to the future with optimism and excitement.  I'll be turning 25 this month, a scary age, and my day to day life will be going through some changes.  It was almost a reason to not blog or vlog every day.  Yet, it is exactly the reason I decided to do it.

Right now I'm at my parents house, in my old room...going through my old toys and keepsakes.  I am attempting to avoid my natural horder tendencies as I go through the mess and get rid of (at the very least) half of all it.  Some of it is easier than I thought.  (the plastic jewelry, the drawings from 5th grade) and some of it is just as hard as ever (my beanie baby collection, the boxes of craft supplies)  I suppose in the end, if I can get rid of half of everything, I'll be satisfied.  And by that I mean my mom will be satisfied.

It is 4:47 right now, the sun is bright, it's warm, and I've yet to film my vlog for the day (YouTube's webcam app is not working...might just use imovie).  There's been no pranks made on me yet and I've yet to pull one myself.  That's just fine.  I have been enjoying the fake movie/tv trailers though.  My favorite is this one.

That's all for today, the rest of the BEDA posts will probably not be this long or nice...but who knows.  Later today I'll post my VEDA video here.

See ya tomorrow guys.

BEDA and VEDA

Am I crazy?  Wait, don't answer that quite yet...well...sure, answer it.  Anyways, the answer is probably.  I am attempting BEDA (Blog Every Day in April) and VEDA (Vlog Every Day in April)  Why, you ask, am I doing this in the month that not only contains my birthday but also a stressful all be it good crazy experience that is new and strange and hopefully never have to experience again. (Don't ya love my vagueness?)  Well, the answer is (other than just actually being crazy) is because it would be an interesting case study.  Interesting to me only I suppose, but that's just fine.  So here's the deal.  For 30 days I will post here in this blog (not the .net...that's professional only...BY THE WAY I changed my wordpress to JenniferSargent.net  So go there and see my arty stuff)  In addition to Blogger posts for 30 days straight I'll also be posting short unedited talky Vlogs in my second YouTube channel. That's over here for those of you who don't know. So I am crazy, silly, and excited about this whole BEDA/VEDA thing.
Also, important note, watch & listen to YouTube videos before posting comments...*sigh* *headdesk* *crawls away*  ><
Anyways, see you tomorrow...and the next day and the next...

Video Projects, STUFF, and Hogwarts

Hi everyone (the maybe 2 people who occasional read this, haha),

Sorry I've been absent from posting this month and sorry my last post was mostly a cop-out.  Anyways, 2011 so far has been for the most part okay.  Nothing to amazing but nothing too horrible either.  I have started some exciting new projects and planning others.  The first one started on the first Monday of the month and my contributions will be every Monday from now until oblivion (okay, maybe not).  It's a fiveawesomegirls inspired collaboration channel on YouTube called JelliclesVlog.  And yes, its all Cats fans...  What can I say, they are my kind of people.  The other projects are also video based, a few secret music videos and a semi-secret mini documentary series I'll be doing with Jim.  All I can say so far is it's called Adventure Science and it will eventually be on his channel, TheLongHolidays.

In other news, I have slowly been trying to save money for my next costume project but it's taking longer that I expected.  Also, now I have my camera payments as well...*sigh*  Why can't I just be in an awesome internet band and go on tour and not have a day job.  Kristina Horner, I will steal your life!  Okay, that sounded a bit creepier than I intended.  Seriously Kristina Horner, I'm just admiring your life...that all I promise you.  Hahaha

Do you ever feel like you have too many intrests?  Too many in a way that it physically takes up your life, not just your time.  For instance, I LOVE film editing and computer stuff...so I have 2 computers, 3 external hard drives, 4 cameras (one HUGE studio one) and more cords and data CDs than I can count.   That's one hobby.  Then, I am a costume maker.  I have a sewing machine, crates (yes more than one) of supplies such as fabric, paint, glue, foam, fluff, and other things that take up space, 4 wig heads and 5 nice expensive wigs and tons of cheap ones, not to mention all the finished costumes I've made (one which includes a hoop skirt).  That's hobby number 2.  Then I own countless DVDs and Books and Sketchbooks.  Then there's my cheap colored pencils and my expensive prisma pencils.   (You've noticed I've stopped numbering the hobbies as they start to blend together)  I have countless t-shirts for wearing, cutting up and wearing/selling, making into pillows or quilts 'one day'  Then, makeup...normal girley 'daily' makeup and two large containers of stage makeup.  I'm trying to re-teach myself guitar, so there's that huge thing.  Oh, and I'm a girl...so clothing and shoes...lots of them.  So yeah, I'm trying to simplify my live via getting rid of stuff...but the fact of the matter is: the mere thought of giving up one of my hobbies (and in some cases, potential future careers) just about breaks my heart.  So, mostly non-existent blog readers...what should I do?

I'm becoming a bit of a Harry Potter nerd, thanks to discovering wizard rock *headdesk*
It's actually kind of awesome but to be active in the HP fandom you're going to eventually chose a house to belong to.  That is, a Hogwarts house.  Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Hufflepuff.  So, I picked one that I felt best represented myself and what I'd like to be like.
Which house are you in?



Why I'm not Ravenclaw - I have self-diagnosed mild Dyscalculia and I can't spell despite my love of reading and writing.  But I'm still creative and again, LOVE reading and writing.

Why I'm not Hufflepuff - Because I refuse (hey it worked for Harry and Slytherin), not because they are lame or anything...I just don't feel like it's really where I belong.

Why I'm not Slythrein - Come on, really?  I'm too empathetic to be that self serving.  It's an apparent  weakness of mine, but I find it hard to be mean for no reason.

Why I AM Gryffindor - I may not strike you as the bravest, in fact I've had trouble with phobia's in the past, but I am determined to change that.  I like the good guys, I like being on the winning team, and not to take words directly from the Sorting Hat Song but I feel I'm pretty chivalrous.  Less meaningful reasons include being a feline lover (ever since The Lion King, I've adored lions)  and I'm an Aries, fire element.  I don't believe in astrology at all and I'm not even sure if Gryffindor has officially been associated with fire...but yeah, the comparison was made in my head, deal with it.
