"you've got to be kind to yourself."

I really like that line. I don't know. We might forget it sometimes.



You know, it sucks how opaque people are. We really don't know what anyone goes through, no matter how close to them we claim to be. Some people are just stuck in their sad, little worlds -- and we can't intrude.

Hope your holidays were lovely and jolly. Happy 2011!

Just finished this one today. I really need to finish The Scarlet Letter, not making these little videos. aishfoljhfjdlokaisdflakaibfjdsa.

Word vomit. A torrent of opinions and thoughts and snippets that you really shouldn't bother with -- not worth your breath and their time, right? -- and it's not like in the end it would actually matter since it's impossible to verbalize to the people who should really hear it anyway.

Why is it that I can only make videos when I'm pushing off summer reading assignments? Procrastination = inspiration? That's got to be it.

I hope you enjoy. (: Gosh, I forgot how rewarding and validating making these animations are...

Try to guess how many frames this one took. It's not even the entire song, too.

when i met you you were on your back,

we still spend most afternoons like that. But not for long.

I would always serenade my friend with this song. :'D

Fail-in-process? I really didn't like how it was turning out so I felt completely unmotivated to go through with the entire song. That's okay. At least the first few seconds are nice...

hey. this is gonna be the start of something beautiful.

Or let's at least hope so, yeah?

Here's the very first song animation I've ever made. It took some actual effort so I'm fairly proud. I hope you like.



Some friends meet an end through a natural separation. Others drift apart by choice, and it's not always a mutual decision.

I really hope you enjoy this little animation. [: The concept is done and not an original idea of mine, but it still amounts to SOMETHING, right? 15 hours of work, right here [although several hours in that duration went to orthodontist appointments and food].

umbrellas make a lovely band

as well as rain protection apparatuses. :D

...

Yeah, not funny.



Doesn't this song make you want to just huddle in a dark corner and cry? Don't deny it. (: It's a beautiful song.

I cut the song short because a.) I'm lazy and b.) the second half doesn't really beg to be heard. But mostly because a.) I'm lazy. Go hear the complete version, though. Lovely, lovely song.
