2. That's probably because I yelled GREEEEEEEEEN so much during that time, lol! ;) (And yep, that's the TARDIS! ;) )
3. I'm really happy to hear that, I have to tell you! I do these weird stream-of-consciousness sort of posts and then go back and read them the next day and think, "What? Was I smoking the curtains or something???" O_O [Note: Not that I would smoke anything, up to and including the drapery. ;) But that's a phrase that my friends and I used to use waaaay too much in high school and it's stuck! ;) ] So I'm glad they amuse! :D
4. Oh that was no hardship at all, let me tell you! I really loved it! I actually just watched it again! How could I not love all of the gorgeousness getting me presents! :D And Dean's epic struggle to find me the perfect present? And to that rocking string quartet cover of Muse? Adds up to One Perfect Vid, IMO! And I just totally appreciated all the trouble you went to with getting all those different fandom clips and figuring out Vegas and all of that! *is getting misty-eyed* So saying thanks was the least I could do! *hugs!*
5. It actually started because of Lord of the Rings: the very first time I ever went on the Internet was right at the start of 2004, when I was heavy into my LotR obsession. Well, I stumbled across a LotR slideshow vid and was just amazed that you could put pictures to music! Then I found out that *gasp* I had this awesome program called WMM on my computer and I, too, could put pictures to music! So I made a very sad LotR slideshow vid and was uber-proud of it! There were very few places to see vids at that time because most of the free hosting places weren't around yet and you had to have your own site to host them.
Later on, I started watching Lost when it arrived but was still fangirling LotR and nothing else online. But my VCR malfunctioned and only taped the first 20 minutes of "Confidence Man" so I started scouring the net for any news of what had happened: had Sawyer gotten that kiss??? And I found a Lost site that's no longer around but it had a vid from Lostcalier on there...and it was moving video not still pics. I was literally stunned! I followed the link to LVI which had just started up, and learned about sites like Josh and Evi's where you could download clips (I was still on dial-up at this time so there was no way I could've taken a full episode). So I downloaded some clips and started my very first "real" vid: "She Will Be Loved," a Skate vid. Don't remember that one? ;) That's because I never finished it. I only had WMM1 with no effects or transitions and I knew the sad little bland thing would never win a spot to be hosted on LVI (that was when LVI was doing the hosting! O_O ). So I completely rethought my idea, decided to incorporate still pic animations (which I had been doing as birthday present vids up until then) and made "Vertigo." And that's how it all began. I was just determined to make something "weird" enough that it would stand-out amongst all of the vids being done with Premiere (the Vegas of its time! ;) ) and WMM2. But it all started because of a simple LotR slideshow and a VCR malfunction!
You knew you'd get my life's story with that question, right? *eyeroll* ;)
6. Aw, those are definitely some of my fav userpics, too!
