You have to ruin a nice thing, eh?

Well I've had it up to here (here being above my head if your imagining this) with all of the creeps and just plain rude people. I check my YouTube very often so they don't really get the satisfaction since they're deleted and blocked so quickly, but still. It really upsets me. So I've put my two tights videos on private and I think I'll have a dramatically reduced number of creeps. And I swear to god if this kind of stuff keeps happening I'm going to put all of my videos on private and delete 95% of my subscribers. And I say 95% because I would keep my real life friends etc. I started this out because I thought it would be fun, but if you're going to ruin a nice thing for me, fine. We'll see what happens.

Hmmmm

I know that the vocals are off on my haul video and that's probably why it hasn't gotten very many views...but I kind of want it to have more views before I do my giveaway. The videos been filmed and everything...but I want to wait, I guess.

Ruca (my kitty) is being so cute right now :]

Guess what!

I filmed 2 videos tonight!!
I'm too tired to do any editing, but one of them will definitely be up tomorrow.
Then I'll put the next one up on Tuesday.
I want to try to film a bunch of videos and just have them to edit and upload as I please. Because I don't like being so busy or unable to film for you guys.
I have 184 of you!! And I wuv ya :D

Batteries...bleh

I wish my camera just had one of those re-chargable battery pack things. Instead it takes 4 AA batteries...and I'm out of batteries and it's low etc etc :/
So if I do film any videos before next week it will have to be on my MacBook.
LAME-NESS!

Hmmm

Can blocked people watch your videos still?
I hope not :/

Alrighty then

When I could have been getting ready this morning I was actually watching the Big Fat Quiz of the Year for 2007, with Russell Brand & Noel Fielding (aka the Goth Detectives). I had been up until 4 last night (I watched 2006, obv). Russell Brand = hilarious. Noel Fielding = hilarious. If Arthur was in theatres on my birthday, I would go see it. Unfortunately it doesn't come out until two days later. So I'll probably be seeing Hop :P I like cute movies. And, of course, I'm getting my last years birthday present too this year. It's the Mighty Boosh Special Edition DVD (of course). So really, Russell & Noel are very relevant to my life. Especially since I just read 'My Booky Wook'. I wish I had a useable library card...I want to read 'My Booky Wook 2'. I could possibly convince my mom to use hers to check it out for me. But she gets all mad when we get late fees on her card sooooo we'll see. But anyway...my sister is home now and I'm only partially ready and it's just too late. No filming today. Sadness. I was more pumped about it yesterday but I didn't get to do it. And now I wake up today and just want to watch some of my favourite British comedians and have to feel guilty. Oh well. I think you guys will live, since you've all got your own lives and what-not what-have-you. It's not that I don't wuv you. It's that I'm easily distracted, tend to get busy, and have a weird sleeping schedule. So you see, even when I'm not at school, I am an art student. Would you wuv me if I was any other way??

Go bye-bye??

Hahaha that's what I want my family to do so that I can film videos :P
I really hate filming when people are home. My house isn't that big, and everyone is SO noisy.
I can hear them right now, and I'm all moody, and getting annoyed.
Bleh...

Sorry

I've been a bad blogger lately.
But I had a really fun weekend, and now that I have work I'm really pressed for time.
Because I'm not like a hermit or anything, hahaha. So now that I have a job it's like...taking the time that I would be using for YouTube, you know? And I'm sorry about that. But I don't work tomorrow or Tuesday, so once I'm all ready for the day etc tomorrow, I'll start trying to remember everything I got in Chicago and Toronto and gather it all up to do a haul video for you guys AND I'll film my giveaway video :]
And I hope you know, if you read my blog, that if I don't get a lot of entries for my giveaway it's not going to be very fun for me at all. And if it's only like 5 people it's just not even happening. So be warned, haha.
Usually people wait until at least like 300 subscribers, and I decided to do 100 (even though now it's closer to 200) but yeah.
Generally when people do giveaways they want to have fun and you need enough people so that it can actually be a random giveaway, you know??
I don't know.
But whatever :P

Whyyyy D:

I'm getting sick again! What's wrong with me???
Like loosing my voice, sneezing and coughing...
It's like the same as last time o.O
WHAT THE HELL?!

Ahem, well

I live in a magical world of interwebz. My mom says I'm anti-social. But really only when I don't have plans w/ my friends/sisters/etc. Tisk tisk.
I'm waiting until all the wash is done (which at my house, for absolutely all my clothes to get back to me, may take a long time) to do my haul. Because I want everything to be there. I did a lot of shopping in Chicago :P
Once the haul is filmed, I will film the giveaway. I'm waiting, because the giveaway stuff is from my trips. If that makes any sense??

Something cool!

As you guys may know if you've been following this blog, I'm in a bit of financial trouble. I have a job now, but my sissy gave me a great idea.
I have tons of nylons and tights now that I'm spending time wearing and reviewing (and for times sakes, letting my sisters wear and review because there's just SO MANY and I'm only one person :P).
So what about a blog sale?
Just a small amount of what I've got, after I've reviewed them and made my video(s) so as to share the love a little bit?
I'll still be doing my giveaway soon, once I have time to film. But hey, I think a little blog sale would be nice. Especially if things don't fit me but might fit *you* or a certain shade of pantyhose doesn't flatter my skin tone (i.e. it makes my legs look too tanned thus making me look ridiculous but what if *you* have a nice tan or just a pretty tan natural skin tone??).
So we'll see about this little idear, eh?
I'll of course be making a video about this idea before it's actually implemented. But yeah :]

It's official, I'm pretty sure

Once I complete the requests I've already accepted, I will be doing no more tights videos.
You will see tights and leggings in my outfit of the day videos, most definitely. But I have nothing more to say on the subject of tights. No one EVER had to tell ME all of this information. Once my mom taught me how to put them on (in grade school, by the way. Why haven't YOUR mothers taught you this??) it was all my own thing.
Tights are in right now and comfortable and if I see a pair that I like I get them and put them together in outfits. It's important to have confidence in your own sense of fashion. I'm not going to tell you how to replicate my taste. Especially since you obviously care more about tights etc than I do. To me it's just something I wear, something that is more comfortable than jeans and I get them to match the things I really like: CLOTHES.
I love dresses and shirts and shoes WAY more than I love tights etc. I do love them, but they're not that fricking important and I'm sorry for the rant but I'm just irritated by all of the creepy guys who want to see me wearing tights. Eff you. Honestly.

Music...

I have a video that's edited and everything, but it's a sped up video with no audio.
I need music for it and I don't want to use copy righted music.
And the iMovie music is kind of lame...
But I'll probably end up using it, because I don't know what else I could use :/

Prom

I'm thinking I'm going to do some Prom stuff. Like hair tutorials, and makeup tutorials, and dress and shoe advice. It's getting to be that time of year. Plus since I'm home and everything, I can use my sisters as hair examples.
You see, they have much more hair than I do.
I'd have more to work with :P
Plus, one of my ideas involve french braiding, and I can't do that to my own hair (which I will admit in the video, don't worry. It's hard to do that in a mirror. My cousin is a cosmetologist and even she has trouble doing her own hair in french braids).
But yeah.

Uploading shouldn't take so long

I am a very impatient person, sometimes.
But I really should get ready for the day. I kind of just woke up and started uploading my Updated Everyday Makeup Routine to YouTube. I had finished it late last night, but I was just too tired to upload it.
I hope you guys like the video, though.
If you're wondering why I was kind of quiet, it's because my sister was home. So I was trying very hard for her to not be able to hear me. We live in a small house, though, so chances are high that she could hear me, hahaha.
Plus I'm just not very energetic at that time of the day :P
But yeah, I hope you like it :]
I wouldn't mind having more subscribers and views on YouTube. I get kind of down when I see how many subscribers etc these girls that are younger than me have. I mean, they've obviously been doing this a lot longer than me, but how do they get that many subscribers to begin with?!
*Le sigh*

Ugh

I don't know.

Bleh.

Going to download and edit my makeup tutorial soon.

Hmmmmm...meh. 

Question:

If I won't give out my real address, why would I give out my number? 

Not in a million years.

>:/

High Definition

I've always uploaded in Medium just because I figure it'll be good enough and go fast. But I just finished editing my Shedd Aquarium video and I'm exporting it in HD :D
It's taking forever and making my computer very slow. So I hope you appreciate it :P
I filmed my requested Updated Everyday Makeup Tutorial video :]
Soon I'll do my haul video...
Hopefully before I start working a lot.
I hope my vacation break has prepared you guys for how much less I'll be filming/uploading once I start working a lot. I'll always make an effort, but I'm just saying.
Oh and how could I forget, I'M GOING TO BE DOING MY GIVEAWAY REALLY REALLY SOON!! :]
So exciting!! I can't wait <3

Fail.

I hung out too late so I won't be cleaning my room. I think I'm going to start filming in a different room though so that might be okay.
I'm really tired though and trying to get my sleeping schedule back to normal, so I probably won't start on my Chicago video editing.
Sorry :(
Promise I'll have a new video up tomorrow, though. So don't worry!

Dang Guyz

Sorry I haven't been making any videos. It may only feel like 2 weeks to me but I guess that's like FOREVER in YouTube world.
So I'm just going to catch you up on my plans. It's Wednesday. I have plans today with my friend, since it's her spring break right now. I have no plans on Thursday or Friday. So TONIGHT after I'm done hanging out with Brenna I'm going to put together my Chicago video.
And maybe I'll film. But I don't know where I'd film. All the packing and repacking and looking for crap etc has kind of left my room super messy. So chances are I'll clean my room tonight and film tomorrow. Not sure what I'll film, though.
I know I'm definitely not in the mood for any tights videos. I promised I'd do so freaking many but HONESTLY I am sick of people creeping on me about them. I'm just a person. I'm just wearing tights. If I were just a girl who passed you on the streets wearing tights, bet you wouldn't say weird crap to me. I want to talk to people on YouTube but not people with weird fetishes. I'm sorry, but no.
On the top of my head I think I have maybe 3 tights videos I still have to do? One w/ socks, the nylon video, and the FML video. I'll do them, they'll get done eventually, I promise. I just need a break.
Plus now that I have a job I'll be wearing mostly jeans that I don't care get covered in ice cream. So I think it's a good time for a tights break.
Gonna focus more on makeup and other fashionable things. Tights, as I've said before, are just a finishing aspect of an outfit - not the main thing. If I'm wearing a dress and some tights, I'm wanting people to look at the goddam dress. The tights keep my legs warm if it's winter, and if it's summer I'm wearing them because it's a short dress and I don't want to look like a skank.
So I'm going to do a new everyday makeup tutorial, and a combined Chicago/Toronto haul. Eventually I'll film some more makeup tutorials - one of them reviewing my giveaway items that I received from tinytea5 :] I'm really loving the shadows and brushes I received. I haven't tried the mascara yet because I'm still in review mode for the Revlon mascara. Actually I could probably do that review soon.
But yeah, I'm gonna get back out there.
Don't worry.

A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME, REAL QUICK

My sister has finally made an etsy account and I would love it if you all checked it out!! I'll be doing a YouTube video about this really soon, because she totally deserves some promotion.
Here's the link:

http://www.etsy.com/shop/EMILoveYou024?ref=si_shop

I don't know if it will be clickable or not, but if not please do me a solid and copy it into your web browser and take a peek. All of her stuff is really affordable.
Some of it she made with Nicole, and if you've been following this blog for very long you know all about what happened with Nicole :(
But it would mean a lot to me if you checked it out, maybe spent a few dollars on a bracelet. Em really needs this. All of the money that she makes off of her etsy will be going toward her college. And if you have a certain type of hemp or friendship bracelet that you'd like to have made for you and buy, just comment me here, or message me on YouTube about it (or leave a comment on YouTube once I have the video about her etsy). It would mean the world to me if you could do this for my sister. She's been through an awful lot lately.
Thank you so so very much!!

RIP Nicole Joy - I love you soooo much <3

I GOT THE JOB!

YAY!!
If you follow me on twitter, you know that I had an interview today :] I don't remember if I blogged about it at all, so I guess this might be the first some of you have heard of it. I put my tweets on private so they don't run down the side of the page anymore. But hey, I'm always on twitter so if you request to follow me you'll get accepted pretty quickly.
It's a job at a local ice cream place. I'm really excited. This is my first job!! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
My first day of training is Saturday. I can't wait <3
Mark is very proud of me.
I can't wait to start! It's going to be really busy once summer hits (like any ice cream place) but I think it will be really fun.
I'm so proud of myself!!

The Social Network

That's what I'm watching right now.
It takes place 8 years ago and the main character was blogging on LiveJournal. I used to have a LiveJournal hahaha. It's been 6 years since I used LiveJournal.
It probably still exists? I don't remember what my LiveJournal name was. Or the password. Or which e-mail I used. Or the password for any of my old e-mails bahahaha.
I actually have so much 'dead' stuff on the internet. It's kind of silly.
I spend waaaaay too much time on the internet.
Honestly.

Travel Travel Travel

Sorry I haven't been making videos lately. I've just been doing so much traveling!!
But I'll be back at it soon :]
I do have questions to ask you guys, though, that read my blog even if you don't comment.
I'm kind of in a bit of a financial muck right now and would much appreciate any REAL job leads or advice etc :P If you know of anything, that is. Hahahaha.
I've just been having the worst time of it all, hmm?
Oh and I don't have a video of me in Toronto. I forgot to bring my camera D:
But oh well. I'm going to make a cute little fishy video from Shedd Aquarium footage in Chicago so that should be good enough. I might do a vlog about my Toronto trip...nah I did that before and I don't feel like it ahaha. So scratch that. You just have an aquarium montage to look forward to if you like fish :P
I was requested to put up pictures from that, but I don't even have them on my computer yet...so I just really don't want to bother. It seems like it would take a long time on a blog anyway haha. Plus it would format weird like Tami's does when she posts pictures and I stupidly care about aesthetics haha.
But yeah please leave comments, advice, etc!!
Love you guyz. Can't wait to make some more videos.
Though I do wish you'd all cool it on the tights thing. Tights aren't my life. I have a few upcoming tights videos but I have MANY more interests (for example, I'd rather buy dresses and makeup and shoes hahaha though tights complete those looks a lot of the time, the main focus is *drumroll* not the tights...I really do hope I make that clear in my videos, previous or upcoming). Still lots of wuv though. Alwayz.

Lady Gaga was AMAZING

Yesterday I saw her perform at the Air Canada Centre :D It was AMAZING and INCREDIBLE.
She is an awesome entertainer, I have to say. Mark, who is not a really big Lady Gaga fan, even loved it. I knew that I was going to love it though just because I lurrrrrrrrrrve her.
And I loved her performance with Maria, the little 10 year old from Winnipeg (sp?). It was AMAZING. Especially for her age, Maria is sooooo talented. I don't know if you follow Lady Gaga on twitter/facebook (which I do) but Maria is the little girl from that YouTube video that she shared. I was so excited when she announced her on stage hahaha. I retweeted this thing from the Fred Flare blog that had pictures. Seeing the pictures was cool just because I had actually saw it happen in person, hahah. Kind of like reliving it a little?
Anyway, all of the stage sets and effects were amazing. The Fame Monster? EPIC. It kind of resembled one of those lantern fishy things (think Finding Nemo).
I love all of the causes that Gaga supports, it's just so easy for me to love her even more after seeing her live. Am I going to buy her new album when it comes out at the end of the month. No. Why not? Because my birthday is at the beginning of April so I'm just going to ask for it as a present :]
I can't exactly recapture it in all of it's glory just by writing about it like this. You need to go see Lady Gaga. It's just wonderful <3
In other news:
I finally tried poutine! It was really good/yummy :P
And I went to the MAC store. I only bought two things but MAC is expensive, especially on Bloor St in Canada, so Mark was really put off. I bought blotting powder and Viva Glam Gaga 2.
Mark says I'm not allowed to buy anything else for the rest of the trip.
Not that he can stop me or anything, but I don't want him to be upset with me, you know? I really really need a job. Why is it so hard for me, I don't get it :(
I've been looking for a job since I came home from school in the middle/end of January. It's the beginning of March and still NOTHING. Not fair.

Guess who's in Toronto??

If you guess 'Amanda' then you're right.
It's so exciting!! I got here late last night and haven't done much since waking up but still!! I have a lot planned and it's going to be really fun, even if my boyfriend has to do a lot of studying this week/weekend.
Oh and if you were wondering what's up with my computer and phone after the incidents that I tweeted about the other day, I turned on my computer after letting it dry out for 2 days and it is fine, thank god. I rock a Macbook and I know it's no Macbook Pro but that's still a thousand dollars and I do not want to have to buy a new one anytime soon. My next big purchase had better be a DSLR, not a new laptop ahahaha.
As far as my phone goes, it's still in its rice baggy. I'm not gonna open it until tomorrow or maybe even wait until I get home from Canada - it's not like I can use it here.
Oh and you probably didn't know this already: I had wanted an iPhone for my birthday but I just found out that my contract doesn't renew until next year. So that's out. I wonder what I should get for my birthday now :/ My dad has it in his head that I should have a flat screen TV. Why? My TV works perfectly fine.
He's just silly sometimes.
I'll write more tonight probably/maybe. Once I have more exciting Toronto stories to tell you.
TOMORROW I'M TRYING POUTINE (SP??)!!!!!!!!!!!!
