I Coined A Pirates term!

I joined a Pirates of the Caribbean message board a few days ago. I love it there. It is my online home...next to my other places online of course. Don't want to offend anyone. Well hanging out with my fellow Norrington fans...I ended up coining the term Norrielicious. It happened over this wonderful avatar and signature banner that a fellow member made for me by request. I asked if it was Norrielicious. The word instantly became a hit. I'm so giddy. I for once coined a term. Now Norrielicious is an official board term to describe Norrington. I'm so happy! I just thought I'd share that and the Norrielicious avatar and signature banners I made to celebrate...and for all the fans of the word on the board.

You Know His Name

My addiction to YouTube must be getting to me. Oh Well. I asked if a wonderful fan video maker, who takes requests, would make a couple vids at my request. This is the first. It's a Jack Sparrow video to the song "You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell. It rocks! The song some may know is the theme to the latest Bond flick Casino Royale. But, in any case, it fits really well as a theme to a Jack Sparrow fan video. It's a great song and again, this video is so good. The maker of it just makes some of the best vids on the planet. I'm really enlarging her ego here, but she's great at what she does. Enjoy ♥!

This is kind of funny but exciting at the same time

My Euro Studies teacher obviously doesn't know me that well. The reason I'm saying this? It's because he's letting me loose to do my projects that are together half of my grade on Vlad Drakul and the Dracula Legend. It's funny because he's probably going to get more than he bragained for in my paper...as in twice or more the amount of pages that he wants. It's exciting because FINALLY someone is letting me do a project on this. I'M SO EXCITED! My mother is probably thinking "Oh god what is this guy thinking" right about now. I have a feeling I'm going to get a really good grade in that class now. Now to get to work on that first paper on the history of Vlad the Impaler. It's due in two weeks though I could probably write it with my eyes closed but this is no time to get cocky. I do have to put some reasearch into this thing. Until next time...

An Update on Miss Disasterous Jar of Dirt

Ok. I know I know. I haven't blogged in a while. I've been busy. Personal problems. Sickness. This and that. I'm in college give me a break. Ok so Valentine's Day is over thank the heavens for that one...that has to be my least favorite day of the year. I meant to Jar of Dirt that one but I just really didn't feel like it. For anyone who hasn't heard, I moved. I still live in the same building just a different room on a different floor with a different roommate. It's a long story just leave it at that. I don't want to cause any trouble with anyone on this. I moved...end of story. I like my new floor. THE BATHROOMS ARE SO CLEAN!!! Sorry I had to get that out. The bathrooms on my old floor were really nasty. And the girls here are really nice. My new roomie is really cool. The only thing I have left to do is finish hanging up my posters and putting my stuffed animal collection where they go. Oh and I have to do laundry sometime this week...I'm running out of clean clothes that I actually wear. Classes are still going fine. They can get boring at times...but when can school not get boring? Don't answer that. Yes, Mom and whoever wants to know, my dorm is clean. I'm not being slobbish. I'm not that bad you know. So I make the occasional mess? Don't say anything to that either. I am in a better mood lately. I'm getting happier. And it's not because I won a cheap imported cd that I wanted on Ebay...yay another Within Temptation cd to add to my collection with more stuff coming in March. I'm a freak for that band I know but the music is so good. I can't help it. I just can't wait until they tour in the states. I'll be one of the first in line to get tickets and you can bet me on it. I don't care what I have to do to get the money to go. Granted I wouln't do anything illegal for it but I would work long and tedious hours at a job I hate for it. Oh and I have everything done now for my transfer to Limestone. USC is mailing them a transcript tomorrow because today is a mail holliday. Granted the transcripts from USC cost me a pretty penny...16 bucks for one now and one at the end of the semester. I should hear from Limestone about an admissions decsion in a couple of weeks from them receiving the USC transcript this week. So keep your fingers crossed. Well I'm off to do homework, laundry, poster hanging, and teddy bear sorting. Until the next Jar of Dirt. ♥

A Remake of one of my videos

I remade my Memories video that I made to Titanic. They're almost exactly alike but with some significant differences. This time Rose's memories are in black and white. I like this version much better. I think you will like it as well. Yes it was hard work making both of them. If you don't believe me well then you apparently have never made one of these before.

Someone Tried To Kill Me

If I seem a bit non responsive lately it's because well...I'm sick. Someone tried to kill me by serving me bad food. Now as a result I have food poisoning. What a load of fun this is? If anyone knows what having food poisoning entails then they know what I'm talking about. I need not to elaborate. Eating food is dangerous. Let me say this now. It's killing me because I feel like crap. Believe me you will know when I'm better because I'll be jumping for joy when I no longer have to run to the bathroom constantly. I'll say no more on this matter. Just remember...food kills.

Within Temptation remakes their latest video

The new version of the video to the song "What Have You Done" by Within Temptation featuring Keith Caputo. This video is so much better than the original. I absolutely love this video and this song and this band. You get the point. I'm so looking forward to March and the release of the new album. It's due to release around my birthday so YAY to that. I'm so excited.

Why Celebs Daddy's Age Are Always The Most Attractive...

This is no Jar of Dirt. This is a simple truth. Girls in my age group are into older men. They're into that maturity factor. When they favor particular celbrities, they judge them by which one are good looking...and most of the time the best looking ones are old enough to be are Dad's. There is a facebook group dedicated to this. Yes I am a member. I honestly can't help that all the good looking male celebrities are old enough to be my father or just a good bit older than me. I blame this on my mother. Why? She has the thing for Harrison Ford who just happens to be her father's age so therefore it's all her fault. Yes I can blame a parent on this one. Mom, don't even try to get out of it either. If Harrison Ford walked through the door of our house split from his extremely skinny girlfriend asking my mom for a date she would divorce her husband in an instant. I'm not kidding!!! I know she's reading this in the near future after it's published thinking of ways to murder me and get away with it. Sorry mama, I did learn everything from you. Honestly when you look at the good looking male celebrities out there: Johnny Depp, Leo DiCaprio, Gerry Butler, Ewan McGregor, Ralph Fiennes, Jack Davenport, James Marsters, etc. They're either my dad's age, a few years younger, or older. It honestly does not make any sense. Of course my taste in them makes sense to no one as it is. There are the few good looking younger ones: Orlando Bloom & Ryan Gosling for example. Like I said they are few. I mean a girl typically gets her first crush on a movie star. It's just unfortunate that these days all the good looking ones are so much older. It doesn't mean that I'm going to go looking to date a guy my dad's age. That's just stupid. A guy two to four years older is perfectly fine with me. I dated in that age range already. It works fine for me. Crushes and thoughts about people I'm never going to meet are a totally different story. I can think they're good looking. It's perfectly healthy unless it becomes something out of hand and turns into one of those creepy unhealthy obsessions. The total truth is girls my age are into the older male celebrities because right now those are the good looking ones. It does not mean we want older men in our personal lives to the point that they are our father's age. I have my limits. I don't mind them a bit older. In fact if they are a few years older they might actually be on the same maturity level I am or even better more mature than me, if I'm lucky. What I'm looking for I'm my real life though is a great guy just a few years two but no more than five years older than me. But my celebrity crushes, is there really an age limit on that? I don't think so and neither do the other girls my age. It's not like I'm ever going to meet them but I have every right to enjoy their looks. In fact everyone has a right to enjoy their looks. Who are we to say it's not ok to enjoy someone's looks just because of their age? I mean good grief if we put an age limit on good looks or enjoying good looks then Johnny Depp would be out of a job, as well as a few other actors but Johnny is the most popular. So why does my generation crush on the older generations? It's because for some reason those people have defied logic and just get better looking with age. This is something we just can't help. Oh and a big kudos to anyone who can correctly name the celebrities in the photos of this blog post. Even more kudos to the one who can name which one is the oldest and which one is the youngest or if you can identify and put them in age order. HINT: The one at the top is not the oldest.

My Highest Rated Personal Creation on YouTube

By some viewers standards on YouTube, I'm a hit. I haven't posted a video in a while but I'm working on it. It's not that easy you know. These things take time. Right now I'm doing a Titanic video set. Then I'm moving on to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The one that is the highest rated out of all them is the one I'm most proud of so I'm quite happy about that. It's called "The Red Strokes" and kudos to anyone who can name the artist and even more kudos to anyone who can explain the meaning of the song. Of course before I take the slide photos off of my computer there will be a photoshop creation made corresponding with each video with a line or two of the lyrics from that song used. I'm getting a little overbearingly creative I know but I have fun with it and it keeps me sane, to a fashion at least. Oh well at least I'm enjoying my work and a select few on YouTube. UPDATE: Originally posted "The Red Strokes" but the ego of the singer of this song forced youtube to remove it. I'm angry at this and this singer no longer makes music. So I'm going to put in here my five highest rated creations. They are: "Without You", "They're You'll Be", "This I Promise You", "Memories", and "Underneath". Also, I only made a photoshop work to "Lithium".
