Las Pantuflas

A few hours later...

So a few hours after my last post and I haven't moved forward at all. There's been a lot less crashing which I am very happy with (I took my mate's laptop) but their laptop is a lot more high tech than mine and therefor I don't know how to work the applications like I know how to work the ones on my laptop. It's been taking a little while longer than I had hoped but mine wouldn't have worked whatsoever.

So far I've gotten all of the videos imported into the program and tried to figure out how to import videos but it didn't really work.. I'll have to figure out how to do that later. Anyways, there is a lot more stuff to edit than I thought there was and the person we recorded, when he was talking, he usually always had his head down. The good part about taping twice means that for all of the times his head was down, there was another time when his head was up. Now, I have to go through and cut out all of the head-down stuff and that's taking a while. Not to mention, the program is a little buggy and as a new user of a new version (it might as well just be a whole new program) it's basically sucking. If my laptop actually worked, This probably would've been done a while ago. Or if I had already known how to work this one.

My cats, Rukia and Sebastian, have decided they would join me for the night.

It's now 6 am, I haven't slept at all, and I have to go to work. I would appreciate getting ready some what slowly so I'm going to have to go now. Good bye and good morning!!!!

Y u no technlology?

So I've been trying to use the webcam to record a quick little vlog for you guys but it's not working... even when I take my room mate's laptop. Does technology just not like me?

Stress & Ducks. Don't ask how the two go together.

Hey guys so I'm finally starting to edit my video for my job as well as start my 20 or so note chunk for school all at once. It's now about 3:40 am and I've been working all night non-stop. I'll have to get up to go get ready for work in about 3 hours. I'm thinking of calling it quits for now and getting some sleep before that happens but I know that I probably won't be able to get up if I go to sleep now.

I'm drinking cold water to lower stress and keep me awake but I'm not sure it;s working. I'm super tired and stuff so.... Ugh. I might start to sound a bit Scottish or something. I do that a lot when I get tired. Anyways, I was editing the video and going through all of the clips we had filmed and Dustin, one of the interns, had stared vlogging because he was bored and there wasn't a whole lot to do and in the background you just hear me going "ducksducksducksducksducksducksducksducksducks" because I was looking for pictures of ducks online to put into the video (don't ask why, it'll take too long to explain) and I had totally forgotten about it. But then, at the end of the video, you hear me shout "I'M BETTER THAN YOU!!! I can FLY and my BODY is a BOAT!!" because I had found the above picture and I was coffee-deprived and I wanted to shout something.

So, as it being 4 am and I'm sleep-deprived, I started laughing and may have possibly woken one of my room-mates up. Maybe I'll introduce them to you later. They're a lot of fun. When they're not stealing your food.

My Lesbian Friend's Dad

So I have a friend... who's a lesbian... Anyways, I went over to her house once because we wanted to make rainbow cake. Her dad is someone who's very religious and stuff and threatens to do things to people. Anyways, we were also working on a new fashion line together and were in the process of making a dress for her. Then we decided to make rainbow cake. Anyways, for anyone who doesn't know me, I'm gay. The particular friend I'm talking about actually calls me Twinky... because I'm a Twink... it's basically a small, blonde, gay guy.

Anyways, her dad doesn't like gays and was threatening to pull her out of high school even because there were too many gays at our high school.

Anyways, we were home alone at her house when her parents walk in the door after grocery shopping. Now, her mom LOVES me. She thinks there absolutely could not be a better person for her daughter to hang out with. I was sitting at the table eating the rainbow cake we had just made and her dad stares me in the eye and says "Daughter, go get my gun." Honestly, I almost fell out of the chair because her dad is really big and scary and could easily kill me and I've never had anything like that said to me before. Then after having my balls threatened to be chopped off and tons of other things if I ever even hugged his daughter, I escaped to her room (after finishing my cake, of course.) Then he kind of stood outside her door as we proceeded to work on our stuff.

The next day, at school, she came up to me and told me that her dad told her to go date me because he reminded me of a character from Duck Dynasty.

I found this hilarious because I'm gay and she's a lesbian. It's not happening.

I'm a Nerd.

I realized today what a good person I am. I'm also guilt-tripping myself into things like "Why aren't I more dedicated?" or "Why aren't I looking at it from this person's point of view?" But I realized today what a good person I really am when I we had some free time in Spanish class and instead of hiding my ipod under the tables like everyone else, I pulled out my nook and started reading Shakespeare and then again when I saw how every guy on campus was wearing one of the black and white shirts with the scantily dressed woman on i but I was wearing a sweater over a dress shirt.

I never have to be guilty again!!!! I'm a good person!!!

Sure I have m flaws, but oh well. I'm one of the few people a girl could bring home and their dad be like "Yeah, I like you. Come over any time."

Which has actually happened... but that deserves a post all it's own.

Jeff the Killer

So my parents and I were watching the latest Grimm and the title poem which told children to go to sleep reminded me of Jeff the Killer so I told my parents the story and showed them this picture. (putting it in as a link so that you don't have it's eyes boring into your soul as you read my blog)
Jeff the Killer pic My mom was like "That's creepy. I've seen that picture before." And when I showed my dad, he just kind of looked at it and then he farted.

I guess that's a good response...

Can I Please Stroke His Face?

Depressing Lllamas

So I posted some bloody depressing stuff yesterday (needless to say, I didn't had the best day) and just thought that I should post something to cheer everyone up after reading all my other posts.

Have fun with a distant relative of mine (I still can't get over that!!!!! XD)

Even Moar Family

So on top of yesterday with all of the awkward family, my mum has broken her foot. She was going around and fussing about my flat, cleaning it up, when her toe got caught in her pant leg and she tripped and it broke her foot. Now, after taking her to the hospital, I'm back at her and my dad's place, taking care of her every whim. Can I not get a moment to myself? I'm sorry that this has happened to her but she's getting days off at school and she is in minimal pain! I have tons of work to do still and instead I'm making cranberry radish and ham sandwiches for my mum while she sits with her laptop and watches Sherlock.

And of course this blog isn't helping.

I'm starting to think my family deserves their own label.

Moar Family

So my family hunted me down and dragged me out of my room and out to dinner. I REALLY hate these people. I had a little break down on the way there and even cried a bit (reiterating the I really hate these people bit.) I refused to get out of the car when we go to the restaurant and only got out when they were finally seating us. I made awkward conversation with people and really just sat there and ate my burger. At he end, it was a lot of awkward hugs and when I wen to hug my aunt, she even looked at me awkwardly and said "oh okay" before leaning in for a half-hug. Why can't my family either approve of me or get the hell out of my life?!

My mother was the one that came in and dragged me out. Nobody else paid attention to me except her and my dad. I hated everyone there except for them ad my grandma and they hate me back! Why do we have o pretend to like each other?! My mom kept saying "You have to make an effort to get to know them" and I'm like "They've had seventeen years to try to get to know me and they haven't" at which my mom promptly shut up.

I need better family. I'm tired of all of the awkward family visits.

Family

So my super-conservative family decided the were going to drop by. They all disapprove of me. None of them like me. There's Brian, my super conservative uncle and Debbie, his even more conservative wife, then there's their sons, less conservative but eh, and their girlfriends, whom I'm just meeting, and their children, a newborn and a slightly older baby. Also my parents and grandmother came down. I don't know why, but they all chose my flat to come to. I just set out plates of cheese and crackers and disappeared into my room. Now I'm on a blog surrounded by my cats because there's no way I'm allowing them to become conservative. By the sound of it, they've all decided they want to go get food. I can't wait until they are out of my flat!!!!

Why am I so awkward around my family?!

Bu the thing is, it's all being hosted at MY house with MY food and I'm the one who's hiding out. I said hi to all of them then made like I was going to go get something and never came out again. I heard them all ask "Where's Roan?" a few times but I haven't heard it in a while. Hopefully they forget about me and leave before I get too hungry.

Having been warned by me, my room mates decided to leave before they could get captured.

In light of it being 6am

So one of my teachers always walks in class like

and I'm all like

And I'm waiting for the day she replies

(Sorry those were all of them that I could find. I know the quote doesn't really go like that but those were the only gifs I could find of it.)

One handed typing!!!

So I've learned how to type one-hande because my cats tend to like to lie on one of my arms and it's slightly annoying but I don't want to move them because they're so cute... I blame you, Sebastian!!!!

Tired

So I've been working non stop for the past three or so hours and I got NOTHING done. All I have is a Mongol hat and Dvid Tennant hair. Still have 30+ pages of notes and a ton of other stuff to do! D: UGH!!!
~R

Stress

So today I'm finally meeting up with the other people from work. I REALLY hope that we can get everything done.

I IZ SCOTTISH

So my friend decided that she would post something about her Irish heritage which got me all "I SHOULD POST SOMETHING ABOUT MY SCOTTISH HERITAGE!!!" which was why there was David Tennant... and BARROWMAN!!!!!!! I was trying to find out if I was in the same clan as them. So yeah. I'm Scottish. I think my great grandfather was the last full Scottish person in the family on my mom's side. On my dad's side, it was also pretty far back. Anyways, I'm English, Irish, and Scottish. What a wonderful combination. If we ever had a family reunion, it'd cause the next World War. I'm also Mannish, Dutch, and German but let's not worry about that right now. I have a ton of fun heritage stories to tell.

Mother:
I have no idea what my Scottish clan is but the lst name I have too work with is Ricketts. I don't know. I have done a ton of research and nothing popped up. Probably because I'm trusting all of my grandma's stories and she has a tendency to forget something that happened five minutes ago. I know I have one (we found the crest and everything) I just don't know which one it is and I'm trying to find it again by myself. I remember i starts with an R though. I'm not sure which R clan though. I think it's Rollo. But I'm not certain.

Father:
My clan on my dad's side is MacLeod. We traced it through the name Lewis which ended when my grandma married my grandpa. Anyways, through that name, we raced it to the MacLeod's.
