Growth Project (a reintroduction)

I made an animation video!

For anyone wondering why I didn't post anything on Friday, I was finishing this little doodad.

The audio's a bit shit, but that's what happens when you don't have a fancy microphone and are attempting narrating something.

Here you are! I had equal parts fun and aggravation making this thing, and I hope you feel the same way watching this.


With Love,

First and foremost, I'd like to extend a big happy and warm welcome to my siblings! I know my older sister and a few friends I consider to be brothers and sisters read these things, and that my sister knew about my YouTube account long before I wanted anyone in my household to know. So hello to you too! Yes, this is why I want a camcorder.
(Tell me, sister, do you feel the sting of second-hand embarrassment yet?)

But it's been a long while since I decided to actually do a video, and a friend of mine confessed he actually missed seeing the updates on his feed. So I decided I'd please him and myself by taking the project back upon myself in full-force!

Videos, if all goes as planned, will be up every other Friday as to not impede on my homework. And some night even have animations in them!

I hope ya'll be pleased, but for now, enjoy the speed art-thing.
(Sis, don't kill me. Just watch! Enjoy! Judge from afar. :D)

With Love
Nick Strange.

Respect for female humans. :)

I got catcalled today.

Across the sea can mean a number of things.

Yet again I’m traveling through one of those anxious bouts where I have to shake up everything I’m doing because I feel I’m doing too much of one thing—currently it’s watching the same old vlogs and listening to the same old conversations again—and then I found this

“There’s a girl across the sea, and although I’m happy being loved it never feels like love to me.” Though this is probably supposed to be a love song, my mind drifted back to an uncomfortable scene—first day of freshmen year, with no friends, trying to talk with a girl I used to know and her click of friends.

People don’t have to be physically far away to be across a sea.

Hell, my entire memory of the first few months of middle school’s essentially standing in a sea of people and not a single person to talk to.

How odd that the human psyche can find some comfort in awkward past situations. I guess it shows how much you’ve grown and how much better your life is now.

I guess I’ve changed some, but it hasn’t been much, I don’t think. Just some more self-confidence and better social skills. And friends. Friends are an important thing to note.

Thank you, Alex Day. *wink*

I’d suggest checkin’ him out on YouTube if you haven’t—he’s under Nerimon. :D

With love,
Nikola Strange

Oh God I went through with it!

My face is now plastered on YouTube!

Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh my Gods!

What in all the seven hells of whatever planet did I just do to myself!?

*sigh* I might as well explain what my New Years resolutions were this year:
Get healthy, lulz! Get to Collage, find a job (no success, thus blog), and other things.

But above all, I really really wanted to get into making YouTube videos. I don't know why. I guess it just looked like a lot of fun! And I wanted to make something fun of it, you know? Rant and have you all see my face, if you even exist. This is why I call you my little no-one (or no-ones, at times, when I feel important on the scale of the internet.. . . .or try to feel important, at least. I dunno. "No-ones" invites a bigger audience, don't you think? It's a bit weird. .  . .)

Point is, I greatly enjoy watching some YouTubers I've been mentioning on posts as of late, and I enjoy "spending time" with them (is that a weird way to think about it? "Spending time" with them isn't exactly accurate, since we're not physically next to them, but they all acknowledge we're there. And like any conversation, conversations are struck in the hopes the other party likes what we're talking about. Right?).

So I went on and made a video. And I'm going to keep making videos all week. In hopes of. . . . . reaching someone. Anyone, so long as they're not a creep pedophile or something.

Would you like to see me humiliate myself?

Well. . . . hardly anyone's ever gonna see these videos, so they're not too big of a deal anyways.

Yeah, I think we're good!

With double the love
Nikola Strange

MY NOTES!
Is it weird Charlie McDonnell and Dan from Danisonfire narrorate all the thoughts in my head?
Yeah, that is a bit weird. Very weird, actually. Too much YouTube! Then again, isn't that the point of this post?

*sigh*
