Ustream
So today I broadcasted live for the first time ever. I had no idea what to expect. It was something I talked about doing for a while, but prior to the event I really wasn't seeing that much response for it. I was completely blown away when I logged onto Ustream 2 hours before the live broadcast and there were already people waiting in the chatroom.
The night's statistics were pretty good. I honestly thought that maybe only 20-50 people would show up.
I feel bad because I was completely overwhelmed by the response, and I didn't know how to properly address everyone without disappointing others. Thanks to Victor for giving me a phone call to demonstrate how laggy it was on the other end, and Victor, sorry for accidentally flashing your phone number on the screen. ;)
It sort of bothered me that people would complain about not winning, if I could afford it I'd give a prize to everyone, but I can't afford it. Especially not yet, we haven't even won the contest yet. I already feel bad enough that I couldn't give prizes to those who wanted them so desperately, but it bothered me that people had to be so sore about it. Win some, lose some. All's well that end's well, and all that jazz.
If I could do it again I'd do it a bit differently, I suppose. Although now I sort of know what to expect, so maybe if I decide to do another event I'll be a bit wiser.
I can't believe it's mid-November already. The LOTTE dance contest wins tomorrow, and I actually think we are going to win this time. I'm really really excited, but more than anything, I just can't wait to put this behind us. I'm completely blown away by all of the support we received, and I do feel a bit guilty that so many people worked hard for our cause. I wish there was a way to repay everyone, but... baby steps, I suppose.
I really want to receive my JLPT test Voucher. Haven't yet. I write ❷級 in two weeks, basically. Not sweating it or anything, but I am starting to wonder what's taking so long for that test voucher... (Since I paid $50 to apply to take the test..)
Yesterday I went on a ♥DATE♥. And it was super! I guess I don't really mention my love life, but I suppose that's because it's been so unstable in the past 8 months. I'm sure I'm in a good place now though, so maybe I'll talk more about that next time. I bought some really rad shoes at Marinoa City, only $67. It was about time, too. I had been wearing Jenae's brown sneakers for over a year now.... (Sorry Jenae.)
Check 'em out! You're jealous, right? ;D
