CRISIS!

Hello readers of my blog!

...The title...you might be like, "OH MY GOSH, WHAT HAPPENED? D:" Well, I'll tell you.

So...I kind of lost my SD card (memory card)...and without an SD card...I can't film...yes, it is a crisis to me. Filming is my life besides school, homework, studying, projects, family, friends, etc. All that stuff listed comes first, (friends on occasion, sometimes I turn down plans purposely because I need to film! I do it for you guys because you're important too!)

I have been searching for this thing for the past 2 hours now, still no luck...I am literally going to break down, crawl into a ball and start rocking back and forth... o.o GAH! WHY DID THIS NEED TO HAPPEN?!?!  I have a HUGE video schedule to complete within the next week, although my personal schedule is packed due to Thanksgiving, I've got to be with my family of course! I am so grateful for all of you though, too. :) This SD disappearance is ruining my plans! -_-

Ugh, I am so sorry about Lost in Los Angeles...I'm trying my best to get it edited, but I'm having technical difficulties with some of the scenes...(long story) I cannot make promises on when it will be posted...as of now, I don't know when anything is going to be posted... :/

I am not giving up yet! I will continue to search for my SD card until I find it! If I still have no luck...then I might need to make a trip to Target this weekend and pick up a new one. :/

Another thing, busyness has been taking over my entire life as well...school has been more stressful than I imagined, it is incredibly hard too...I am in 6 AP classes this year! The work is unbelievable, tests are difficult, exams are coming up too...and then there's spending time with family and friends too. I'm not going to abandon people in my home life just for YouTube...I hate how some people demand so much of you, they think YouTube is your whole life, like you just sit around on your butt all day on the computer. I'm sorry, but it is not. Personal life comes before my YouTube life, school especially.

I still love all of my supporters, and I'm working on getting videos made! I have a couple that are nearly done, but I have TONS of filming to do before my head explodes due to the amount of requests I receive... o.o

I am so sorry about the inconvenience, I really do not know how this happened...and before someone asks, yes, I did check inside of my camera, camera case, my entire room, etc. I bet when I go out and buy a new SD card this weekend, my old one will just magically appear out of nowhere. xD It's always good to have a spare though!

Thanks for reading and understanding! :)

Girl of The Year 2013: Meet Saige!

Hello, lovely readers of my blog! :) 

I have a quick post to make about AG's Girl of The Year 2013, Saige.

And here she is! According to her story, I do not think this is what Miss Saige should look like...Saige is described as having a Hispanic background. I wish AG had made her look a little bit more cultural. When I read about her, my prediction was that she was going to have a Josefina face mold, medium skin, brown or dark green eyes, and dark brown hair with bangs. This sounds similar to basilmentos's prediction, right? I really wish she did look like that, because then I would consider getting her!  I don't know if many of you notice, but does she look somewhat like Nicki, GOTY 2007? Saige has blue eyes, freckles, and I guess you could say auburn, sort of brown hair which comes in a braid. Nicki had blue eyes and freckles too, but curly, more so dirty blonde hair. I don't know...They just look similar to me. :P  basilmentos also pointed out that she looks a little like Felicity! I agree, she has similar hair coloring to Felicity's which is another reason why I do not plan on purchasing Saige. OH! And a LOT like #23! They could be twins! What I simply ADORE about this doll however, is her darling meet outfit! It is so sweet!                                 

                             

Here is a closer photo of Saige's face, and if you can notice, she has pierced ears! That is another thing I like about her too. :) Overall, I think Saige is a beautiful, sweet doll, that will definitely sell well in 2013! But, she's just not for me. I wish she looked like my prediction, if so, I would have definitely purchased her! It would be nice if AG would make some more cultural dolls, maybe a middle eastern girl! Something different would be so lovely in the GOTY collection!

These are my opinions, I am not trying to offend any of your opinions, we all think differently about AG dolls! :) 

What are your opinions on Saige? Do you plan on purchasing her next year? Let me know in the comments! 

I give credit to dolldiaries.com and American Girl for the photograph.

School, New Video Schedule, Updates

Hey, everyone! 

Before I begin, I hope you took notice to my COMPLETELY REDONE BLOG! :D New banner, background, fonts, layout, links, polls, and MORE! I spent a REALLY long time on everything last night, so I really hope you like it! :) 

Now, on with the subject of this post; School. Oh, the dreaded word. Unfortunately, I am back in school, and this year it's going to be really difficult. :\ I am in all advanced classes with very high expectations. This means the following: More homework, harder tests and quizzes, lots of studying, lots of projects, and more. My teachers this year really need us to work extra hard, keep up our grades, and be on top of everything. 

I also participate in track after school. Track & Field starts at 3 PM and ends at 5 PM. By that time, I am drowning in homework, then studying, then reading, etc. I also have to babysit and earn hours in Community Service. With that being said, I rarely have any time to sit down and film or edit videos. The weekends I will reserve for my friends and family and time away from school. You might be asking, "Um...Lauren? When are you ever going to post videos!?!?" To answer your question, I will post during the weekends. Now sometimes, I will reserve my weekends for video making and uploading! :D I hope to at least have something posted once a week, however this may extend to two weeks if I'm extremely busy. :) 

2,OOO Subscribers? :D Here's the deal, I have big plans for 2,OOO and my goal is to reach it by December if possible. It would REALLY mean a lot to me if I can reach this goal by December. :) 

I think I am done rambling for now, so if you read this far, comment your thoughts about this post and what you think of my new blog design! :D I don't want comments like, "I LOVE YOUR BLOG DESIGN!" And not a word about this post, because I REALLY need to know that you read this entire post. 

Thanks!

What's Been The Deal?

Videos...what IS The Deal? Where are they? When will I make more? Well, the answer is, as soon as I can. Things have been a bit hectic lately...I have been incredibly busy and I have not had the time. I am squeezing in as much time as I can for my Summer 2O12 Movie, (it's been a terrible experience so far. -_-) and I don't think I will post a trailer...I think I am just going to release Part 1 whenever I want. It is saved in 1080p HD and ready to upload! I am having some issues with Part 2, and Part 3 hasn't even been filmed yet! :( Please, just hang in there, it will be here before you know it. As far as other videos go, I do have a few stop motions and music videos planned! :D Stop motions and music videos really seem to attract viewers and subscribers, so maybe I can earn a few new ones! I mean come on, look how successful my Cry AGMV was, over 8,OOO views!?!? I can not believe it, that is honor for me!! Thank you so much! :D So hopefully, I will have those made soon! (once I get the movie out of the way of course)

Here's another topic; School. That dreaded word. I really wish I didn't have to go back, but I do...just like everyone else. I am not in school yet, though I will be starting soon. :( School means less frequent videos...but I will get into that on my next upcoming blog post. (it explains video schedules, my schedule, etc.) 

Another thing A TON of people have been bombarding me with questions about is; Flash of The Pageants. Where is the next episode? When is the next episode? Are you finishing this series? What happens next? MAKE EPISODE 8 ALREADY!!!! That is just the BEGINNING of the annoying questions I get almost every day. Here is the answer; I WILL in fact, be FINISHING Flash of The Pageants. The reason I never posted episode 8 is because, I was taking a break from making that series. They are the most stressful videos to make. It takes me a while to put together a new episode, so I just got sick of it and took a break. Flash of The Pageants will resume sometime in October. So you will just have to wait! If you guys knew what I have to go through to make an episode, you would see why I hate making them so much! Please, just hold tight. 

Once school starts I will be posting on Fridays, (after school) Saturdays, and Sundays. I will probably be making the following; Flash of The Pageants, Stop motions, Photo shoots, Skits, etc. Movies...I will hold off until the Summer. :) I will try to post once a week, sometimes once every two weeks, depending on how busy I am. I am extremely busy during the school year and I will rarely be on. 

Okay, I think I am done! XD You probably hate me right now for making you read all that...Ouch. :P 
ALSO: I am thinking of re-doing my entire blog, I've always hated my banner...xD 

If you read this far, comment your feedback. Do you hate me? Probably! xD I am sorry!

AG's Newest Historical, Caroline Abbott!

I just thought I'd post this photo, this is Caroline Abbott, American Girl's Newest Historical Character! 

What do you all think of her? I have some opinions of my own about her, I don't plan on buying her. I just don't think she's very original. 
Don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful doll, but she did not impress me too much. I like her eye color though. :) 
But, she just has a regular classic face mold, blonde hair and green eyes. And her meet dress is practically identical to gown once apart of Felicity's collection, only difference is her's is pink. But hey, everyone has their own opinion, some of you may agree with me, some of you may not, and that's okay! I just hope you respect my opinions. :P 
Please comment YOUR thoughts / opinions about Caroline on this post.

Thanks, everyone!
