Trying to stay calm & happy :)

My life seems to be settling into a more even keel at the moment, which I'm glad of, as all those manic ups and downs were wearing me out!

I am able to tell people what's going on with the flat and everything without breaking down every 5 minutes, which is a relief on two fronts - I'm not constantly crying all the time, which was freaking me out, and being able to share with people what is going on is a relief - they know now why I'm all over the place at the moment, and not at work as much as I should be. I'm also more positive than I was about my brother getting a job - he hasn't yet, but I'm more hopeful than I was that it will happen. I know that if he doesn't in the long run that I WILL lose the flat, but I'm focusing on positive thoughts as much as I can at the moment, which is far less draining than the constant state of panic that I HAD been in the last few weeks!

And whilst I was writing this, my aunt just phoned to say she has the cheque - eep. That's it then, I'm committed to this course of action, which is the biggest gamble I have ever taken. Fingers crossed for me, the next few weeks are going to be crucial. 

I'm very glad I have my fandoms right now - if I hadn't had them to hide in the last few weeks I think I would've crumbled long before now ;) Plus I have some amazing friends on here who've been a huge support and I am extremely grateful to you all :) Especially huge hugs to _gater_ who has been remembering the little things lately (usually my job!) and that has really touched me, Cole J who inspires me and makes me realise that I CAN get through this, and gayalondiel who is a new friend, but already someone I feel very close to and who I hope I will continue to be friends with for a very long time to come.

Right, onto vidding  :)   I'm having a little problem which you can read about here, and if any of you can/would like to chip in, I'd be very happy as I'm getting pretty desperate to start vidding again and as I said before, I have an idea for a McKay vid to a Nina Simone song which is now so stuck in my head it seems to be on permanent loop!  Plus I still need most of SGA Season 2 (episodes 1-10) logo-free so help there also greatly appreciated!

Don't want much, do I?  :P

*hugs to all* xxx

Btw just curious. But the DVD's for SGA you are getting, are they UK or US. Because you should rip your clips at 25fps for UK and 29.97fps for US. It's just I read the comment that someone placed on the boards, and they were saying you should rip in 29.97fps. But as I was saying only if you have US Dvd's should you do this.

Right I'll shutup I'm waffling on too much :P

I actually thought that about the fps when I was typing it, and was confused as to why they were all 23.98fps?!

I will rip Season 1 at 25fps, then I gess I will have to convert my dl Season 2 to the same - would that be OK?

*hugs*

Yeah that should be ok :)

A very weird fps though. But I know I downloaded something for ms_3m and that had a weird fps as well ^^

*hugs*
