Well, it's been over two years since I last updated this thing.

First of all, I have a girlfriend. She's Icy_Ashford, one of the mods over on Avatarspirit.net forums. We've been together since March 8, 2009, and I hope for many more years. Icy's very sweet and very pretty, and I'm saving my money so that one day I can go to Singapore, where she lives, and finally get to hug and kiss her like I've dreamed of doing.

I also started going to a new martial arts school and learning Wing Chun. It's different from Long Fist, but the basics are still there. My instructors are pretty cool too. I haven't been going as much since summer started because I need to save money, but I'd still like to keep going.

I'm addicted to Restaurant City on Facebook. Icy and I help each other get ingredients. My restaurant is doing pretty well. It has a coffee shop and a bowling alley!

I'm currently a player in the LJ role playing game DC_Nation. The other players are all really nice people and it's always fun doing different scenes and plots. I get to play my favorite character ever, Kid Devil. I actually have a whole paper written about KD, so maybe I'll post that here sometime.

Anyway, I hope people see this.

Today, as I was driving home, I got into a nasty car wreck. It was raining, the road was slick, and I turned a little more than I should have. Next thing I know, the car is tumbling over into a ditch. The windows get smashed and the airbags deployed. It's amazing that I walked away from it uninjured. Looking at the wreck, I'm even more surprised I'm not dead. There was a load of dirt and broken glass all over the place.

So, the people in the house I crashed by came out and called the sheriff and an ambulance. They asked me a lot of questions, mostly if anything hurt. I got my parents to come pick me up. The car got towed away, and then the state trooper arrived. He have me some things to fill out, and told me I needed to go to court in June. I could pay a fee, but he said the judge would probably dismiss me.

This crash means that I'll be riding with my parents/on the bus for a while, the insurance rates will go up, and I need a new car, soon. My family has been making some more money, and I have about $1,500 saved up, so this isn't a huge setback for us, but it means we can't use that money for nice things now. I may even have to use my scholarship money to pay off some of this.

In better news, I'll be an extra in a movie being made about Billy Graham.

I should have it done by the 10th.

With the Avatar panel coming to the New York Comic Con, I have started the editing of three different vids. The first is written and voiced by Gan Xingba (Avatar Abridged) and Tomamoto. The second is a short promo for the Avatar panel, done by me, and the last one is my doing the voices of The Monarch, Dr. Girlfriend, and #21 & #24 from The Venture Bros. talking about Avatar.

I have my work cut out for me.

I decided to go with something different this time. I highly suggest you read about the song I used here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_(song)

My first AMV using Sony Vegas 7. The song is done by The Cranberries.

For anyone who didn't already know, I finally completed The Day of Black Stache a week ago and it's now up on Gan's video pages. I've now started work on a new AMV featuring the song "Zombie" by the Cranberries.

Just wanted to let anybody know that I'm making progress on The Day of Black Stache vid. I'm sorry for the delay, but I've had some sleep issues to deal with.

In other news, I found out I rank 8 in my senior class.

I recently was made editor of the Avatar Abridged series created by Gan Xingba. You can (easily) find his stuff on Youtube, Daily Motion, and Livevideo.

I've already done episode 5 and am working on a special "Day of Black Stache" episode, which should be done soon. I'm using some new tools in Vegas 7 to make it great. Once that's done, work will start on episode 6 of the Abridged series. Also, I hope to get started doing a new Avatar MV, since it's been a while since my last.

As for school, my new sememster is all electives, so make what you will of that. It's either easy or aggrivating.

I am the Zuko of Live Journal. So suck it.

So, just two more days of school left for my first semester (one and a half, really). Those last two days are when I'm taking my finals, but get this; I've kept my grades so high for so long that I could completely miss two of them and still pass. I just need a 65 and a 78 to still keep an A. The other two though, I don't think I can afford to miss, but they'll be easy and I don't even need to pass them anyway.

It's smooth sailing from here on.
