Introducing the Cast

Since it's been a while since the last post. (You have experienced my procrastination) I think it's time for a new one. If this is your second (third?...fourth? etc.) time here, thank you, I now have reoccurring readers. Anyways, as promised, this post will be introducing my friends. Yes, I know them from real life. Some I've known for two years, some for ten years. But, no matter how long I've been aware of their existence, they are equally precious to me.

They are in order of earliest met to newest met. If I got it wrong, I apologize. My memory might be a little bit faulty. The random pictures are because I felt that there should be pictures on this blog. The names used are nicknames and not their real names.

Fiddler: My best friend back in kindergarten. She plays violin. I must admit that we started to grow apart for a while, but now we are friends again. She really wants to own a katana sword. Also a fan of many video games.

The Ginge: Another person that I have known since kindergarten. She is a viola player. There are many times when she acts hyper and/or crazy. I'm not quite sure if the reader knows what a "brain to mouth filter" is, but we believe that it is not functional on her as she usually has some interesting comments to express. But, for the record, she is still a very good friend to have.

Marmalade/Evie: Call her "Mango", "Mansprite", "Fresco", and possibly "Blondie Bear" and you will regret it. I can explain the origins of those names if I am asked. She does the ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, and maybe hip-hop varieties of dance. She is also an aspiring writer and is working on many books.

Carousel: An aspiring actress. She and Marmalade have performed in several local plays. She plays cello and string bass. In the future, she wants to live in Europe. The fact that I went on a vacation to Italy this summer has made her pretty jealous.

Duck: The other anime fan in our group. She and her sister make Pokemon and other anime related plushies. They are currently working on a set of the Eeveelutions (Eevee included). She enjoys personality typing people.

Destiny: Being one of my newest friends, I do not know her that well yet. However, I have heard that she can punch people. I should consider asking her to teach me some fighting techniques...

I'm pretty sure I did a terrible job at picking pictures. They probably only make sense to me. I also put links to where I found the pictures.

The First Post

Well, I have finally decided to start a blog. I am SolarWindStorm151 on YouTube, Solar for short. Obviously, that is not my real name. (shocker!) I have slight Internet identity paranoia so I must use a screen name. Anyways, I have a feeling that the only people who will read this would be my friends or anyone who finds it from my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SolarWindStorm151. But in any case, welcome to the blog!

As the title of the blog states, I am an AMV(Anime Music Video) editor. I mostly use Pokemon, but am branching out into other shows. Eventually I plan on making Buffy the Vampire Slayer videos, but I am having conversion problems with the episodes. As for other anime, I have watched Deltora Quest (read the books too), Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji (really awesome), Death Note (geniuses rule!), and Romeo x Juliet (better than the original play in my opinion). I mainly like supernatural/magic and action/fighting type shows that have an interesting plot. If anyone has any suggestions for an anime I should watch, you're welcome to comment with a suggestion at anytime. My main shipping for Pokemon at the moment is Ikarishipping/ShinHika, which is Dawn/Hikari and Paul/Shinji.

This blog is mainly for me to rant about my editing. I hope that doing so will motivate me to finish more videos. At the moment it is about one video per year, and that is just for Rissychan's Ikarishipping MEP(Multi Editor Project). I actually do have a lot of ideas, I just have procrastination problems. At times I might reference to my friends. One of which is "The Ginge" who also has a blog: http://757daycountdown.blogspot.com/. She is pretty funny and makes drawings using Paint (the program). I suggest checking out her blog. I am also referred to as "Solar" on her blog. I will make another post introducing all of my friends later.

Now for some things about me. In a school setting, you would describe me as the over-achieving Asian girl. If you were one of my friends, you would describe me as a ninja assassin. That probably does not compute to most people, but that is me. As the first description suggests, I have high standards in regards to my educational performance. As for the second description, lets just say I have a habit of watching violent movies in which things in general, blow up. Once, my friends put me in front of "Ever After", which is basically Cinderella. For the whole movie, I yelled at characters to punch other characters....yeah, you had to be there. I am also into archery and sword fighting. Actually, I can shoot a bow but I don't know how to use a sword (yet). But not to worry, I am actually a nice person. My drawing skills are not terrible and have a sort of anime/manga style, but I am better at drawing horses and objects than anything else, I occasionally try to improve, but it really isn't going anywhere. I am generally quiet/shy and prefer to sit in front of my computer instead of going out. In the future, I plan on having a job doing special effects or editing for movies.

Since I can't think of anything else to write and this is turning into an essay, I'm going to leave it here. If you did find this from my YouTube channel, you can see this as my AMV "progress report". The first "progress report" post should be up after the post introducing my friends. I also made the background of this blog myself using Photoshop. It may or may not be sized right, so if it looks funny on your screen, I apologize. So, with that note, see you next time!
