Something involving video production, ideally editing. I've always been interested and dabbled before but never went into it in too much detail. You know I've been desperate for a career change for years but nothing really appealed enough to kick me into action. Just came to me a few months ago, I've done a bit of reading in what is available in terms of work and study, my plan right now is: - Get badass PC (done). - Start making short films and edits in my spare time (begins today!) - Enrol in a night class (enrolled for August already). - If I take to it and I'm this motivated by the end of the year, I'll apply for the full-time 2 year TV production course which covers everything - direction, editing, production, sound production, etc. Giving me the best base to find a career at the end of it. Scary stuff, I might get to the end of the year and decide it's nothing more than a hobby but that's my aim right now. I'm deeply, deeply unhappy with my career.

I guess I can try this thing again Haha, I was looking through the emojis, oh the memories

Only 20?

Whatup. I missed everyone that doesn't like the way the other forum runs so I made this one. Rest of y'all should make some fresh meat topics to reintroduce yourselves, especially those that have been away a while. I love you all. What's new with me in the last little while? Got married to Jovanna. She's awesome. A hell of a lot more relaxed than my ex and also a professional event planner (going on vacations with her is fucking awesome). I visited Europe on the honeymoon. Got to meet a bunch of the Londish there. Basically one of my lifelong dreams (not being sarcastic) along with you know, actually seeing Europe. I just had a babbo. Her name is Luna. We somewhat named her after Luna Lovegood but I also got her a stuffed Luna cat from Sailor Moon. It's awesome and she's awesome. I'm on leave for 4 months from work. Going back May 20th. Seems like I'd have a lot of free time but I do not. If the baby is awake, she requires constant attention. So yeah hi.

I have yet to be demoted because our system doesn't seem like it's designed properly for it. So far I've: 1) Been notified that myself, who reports to myself, is applying for a new role on my team and that I should do everything I can to support myself in making the transition easier for myself. 2) I've had an interview scheduled with myself to see if I'm up for the job. 3) Currently I'm negotiating with myself. The system sees me in the role I am in now and me in the role I want to demote to on my team as two separate people. This is a third party system provided for us by the way.

I would attempt this but I don't want to risk it - chances are any song (as in actual mainstream chart single) I would think of as being from the last 10 years would actually turn out to be from 2005 or something, and I can't handle that right now.

Thanks, y'all. It's been a pretty great weekend so far. Spent the weekend with both my partners, they paid for dinner at this Japanese grill place where you cook the meat at the table, and I got a bunch of treats and hella fed all weekend. Just kinda chillin' today and keeping it low-key, but I get to watch my girlfriend play FF7 today, so that's always a treat

It's going to be stupid and I'm still going to watch it, just like the first one.

God of High School ep7

Like I did on the Center, I'll come here to tell you all the cool things I've done/changed around officially. Created widgets for Top Posters and Top Forums (like the days of old) for the portal. Took me a while because I had to learn this shit from scratch. Created a widget called Quick Links for the portal with links to various places our members are part of. I will keep updating it with things anyone wants to add. Let me know. Fixed the fancy URLs after I broke it. Your bookmarks should be working again. Woops. I've changed the text color selector to the old color wheel but the catch is...the current one is cached in your browser and you'll have to clear the cache to see it. I tried like hell to figure out how the fuck to version it but it is SO ingrained in the board that you're just gonna have to do that. IF you're not sure how to do that, google it. I am going to keep trying to figure out how to do that so it updates for everyone. Set the name switching to 1 time every 60 days. If you derp, PM me and I'll fix it but for the most part, let's keep it reasonable. I hate when people change names. On that note, there are lots of new profile fields now. USE THE ALIAS FIELD. Some of us don't know what your new names are. I've also added lots of gaming and chat related profile fields as well. Go nuts. I've now created lots of plugins to take care of all the little edits to this and that old thing. This should, again, make it easier for me to keep the board updated. Next test I'll be doing is an upgrade to 4.4 as we're on the newest 4.3.x line right now. I fully expect shit to break. Created several posting ranks for various post counts. We can make a fun topic to choose them all from here though. I'm not attached to it. I have re-created the Serious Business skin for this board. I've also made several small edits to make things look right (like getting rid of the circle avatars everywhere and adding borders where needed). Created Vote and Intensify buttons for the editor. I'm still working on making vote work the way it did in the old days. Will update as we go. If anyone has feelings on what buttons are available on the editor at various screen sizes, let me know. I can add buttons to the mobile view if you want them. I tried to keep it relatively simple for now. That should cover most noticeable things I've done since the forum opened. I've got a few things to tweak and I'll update again when I finish things.
