one of you sent me something.
you said you were sending me something, and (in all of my bratty glory) when i asked you what you were sending, you just said “something”… i thought you were being funny.
but, oh no. you were serious. it was just “something”.
from thesomethingstore.com, where people simply tell ‘em to send “something” and they do!
and you have no idea what you sent me:
have any of you received a surprise “something” from someone lately?
Did I miss something? Or did you announce when you turned from not being ‘just a girl’ any more? I remember your post about the quarter-life crisis. Maybe that is where it spurred from.
Very creative video, by the way.
You have probably mentioned this before but I am curious to know what video editing program(s) you use. And what video editing program you would recommend to someone just starting out in the video world.
Hope your day is lovely!
hahaahahaha!
Hola @ngie!!!
i didn’t really announce it. i dropped “just a girl” when i put up the new banner this past weekend. sorry to confuse you.
~ video editing software? i would like something better, but i use the regular “windows movie maker” because it’s so dang easy… for this little movie thingy i used animoto.com, which is an online program that collects your pictures, adds effects, and a song and spits it back out. i can’t really take credit, but it’s WAY fun!
charchar: what’s so funny?
Ah, very good. You know I didn’t even notice that they were just still shots! At first glance it looks like you made it with a video camera. Clever!
Confusion? no. Surprise. yes. No apology necessary.
so do you think i should’ve kept “just a girl”? i dropped it bc i bought my domain name a few months ago. and i figured having it all as mandythompson.com (while slightly awkward for me) would make it easier for the rest of the world.
yes?
no?
thoughts?
and… to make this video even more ironic, i took still shots from my video camera. let that one sink in.
So the pictures were made from a video camera! I was right.
With your site I think you should do whatever makes you the most happy. Like, when you look at your site if you can’t smile and say that you are glad to be here then you should change something.
You can take it or leave it because I tend to way over analyze things, but… I will say that I have recently noticed a shift, a maturing if you will, in your content or style or whatever. And that you maybe are coming out of that ‘just’ state and out of the ‘girl’ state into something more full and complete. Honestly, I have never liked it when someone refers to themselves as ‘just’ because you are wonderfully and fearfully created to be so much more than ‘just’. Again – you gotta do what makes you happy. Personally, I am glad you dropped the ‘just a girl’. Those are my thoughts. Other people may have some different views…
One thing is for sure – I am very happy to know YOU. You are awesome my dear cousin Mandy!
thank you for this.
i think you might be on to something… something that i’m emailing you about.
‘something’ seems to be the word of the day
HA!
that wasn’t even intentional on my part.
It is amazing how our subconscious affects us, forms our thoughts and words. It is an amazing tool God has given us to plant ideas in the minds of others – - – and in our own minds as well. With sufficient exposure it affects our decisions making process.
reminds me of that verse: out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks… i think whatever is in us is bound to come out. consciously or subconsciously.
That is really cool….I have a friend who’s birthday is next week so I decided to send her “something”. Hopefully it will be something cool. Thanks for the info
YAY!!! i’m sure she’ll LOVE it!
Wow. That seems like a cool idea. I will have to look into that further. Thanks.
i’m sure if you were to send a “something” to someone, they would really like it!!
cool!
oh, KA…
hehe!
my son sat on me a ‘broke wind’ yesterday.
although…i dont know why that surprises me anymore.
Does it count that my sister called me yesterday and surprised me by inviting me to Eagle Crest Resort in Bend next week?
Wahoo! She’ll be in class for 2 1/2 days while I’m in the condo with God, my bible and journal. Time alone with God which is very much needed. No expectations from anyone, no work, computer…(well I’ll have my Motorola Q). I can stay in my lounge wear (code for pjs) all day should I choose.
Sorry for the book
