I'm kinda disappointed in myself with the way I am on camera on Youtube, the real me isn't showing through. I'm so introverted and shy and now that's catching up to me. I can barely finish a sentence without pausing, it's so aggravating. I can't believe I can't do something as simple as be myself in front of the camera. I feel like such a failure, maybe I should have just stuck with this text journal here, at least my grammar is pretty good.

Well it took alot of courage but I finally uploaded my first Youtube video this morning. I filmed it yesterday morning and edited it and then spent the rest of yesterday and this morning trying to find the right way to optimize it. Youtube has a 100mb limit and none of the programs I have contain the option to tell it how big you need the file, so I had to do a bit of experimenting until I found the trick. I'm so nervous in that video but it's understandable I guess. I hope to be able to act more naturally in future videos. Guess I'll start on my next video now. The link to my Youtube page is over on the left.

Since I haven't been playing WoW so much I've had time to catch up on my websurfing and finding out what's been going on in the world of cyberspace. I've known about youtube.com for a long time now but it wasn't until the beginning of this week that I found another part of youtube, it almost seems like it was hidden. I found what are called video blogs or vlogs, which are journals on video. At first I thought it'd be boring but once I started watching some, it was very interesting, almost addicting. At first I thought it was just a few people doing this kind of thing but it's thousands, it's like a whole new world. This is probably old news to most people but I've been in Azeroth (WoW world) so long I must have missed when this whole vlog thing started.

Everyone on there seems so nice and looks to be having alot of fun, I'm very tempted to start doing my own videos. In fact, I already got an account on there and am currently looking over different video editing programs to see which one I like best. I've never worked with video before (other than burning onto dvd) so this will also be a learning experience. I'm so shy so I'm not a hundred percent sure if I'm going to do this yet, but what is there to lose? Nothing really.

Some other sites I found were I Can Has Cheezburger and Stuff on my Cat which are really cute sites with lots of kittehs.
