EDIT: ASDFGHJKL!!! O.O Katrina Law tweeted it AND posted it on Facebook saying it's her fav Sparty vid to date. *dies* *goestoLOTSNoUndiesWorld* Now I need Tabrett Bethell to join Twitter and/or BR & TB to tweet about one of my LOTS vids and my life will be complete *conteplatesviddersheaven*

-----------------

Ok, I know I said I wouldn't be vidding for a while because of school, but it's useless.
My grades did not improve despite me studying more than I've ever done in my whole life. I don't know what the hell is happening. I used to read something & know it almost by heart. Now two hours on the same page & I wouldn't be able to tell you the subject.

Anyway, to the video (after the video description I'll just start to rumble, so whoever wants to read is welcome, but it's nothing releated directly to it. Just thoughts.)

---------------------

Start description:
This show is fantastic & the fact that s2 is on hold because of Andy Whitfield's cancer saddens me. He is a truly amazing actor & I wish all the best for him :)

Being the ancient history freak, I could not not watch this show & despite cringing at the sight of gore & the horrible historical inaccurancies, like Barca being a survivor of the punic wars, which happened about 70 years BEFORE Spartacus's revolt O.O, I love it. Great stories, great actors, great characters.

Anyway, I concentrated the video on the character of Spartacus:
from Thracian, to traitor. From recruit to gladiator. From fighter in the pits, to champion of Capua. From slave, to free man.

Not much else to add.

Start rumbling:

Why am I back so soon? Easy, I realized that without vidding, I wasn't only cranky about school & other problems, but I'd get depressed, so I don't care... f*ck school & everything.
(Well, actually me fixing Vegas was a result of school needing my editing skills for a couple of things, but I thought I might as well start vidding for myself again too).

So, this video took me about 24 hours of work, between yesterday & today & I'm kinda proud of how it turned out. I wanted to try new fx as well as vid something challening. This show was the perfect match to this song (that I've been wanting to vid for ages) & it was just so much fun to make, especially after 2 weeks without vidding.

It also express exactly how I feel right now. Not only because of school, but everything else. The news of a probable cancellation of Legend of the Seeker just made everything worse.

It may seem lame, but the only thing that got me through each week recently was a new episode every Saturday. I've been in a very bad mood & kinda pushed away every friend I had. I'm keeping distance from everyone & don't really feel like going out.

I used to perfectly balance studying, fun with friends, hobbies, sports, love... now it's all a huge mess. LOTS was the only thing I looked forward too.
Now I have one month, 4 episodes, left with a purpose. After that? I have no idea.

Why all this fuss about a show?

Have you ever read a book for 5/8/12 hours straight, finished it & your day was brighter all of a sudden? Has your life ever been improved by a laugh born of a stupid television joke? Have you ever cried with joy over something that does not physically belong to you, but you feel yours? Have you ever had your heart ache over the fate of two lovers or a messed up character? Have you ever wished for a happy ending? Have you ever had your heart sting with joy once you got it? - Legend is all that. I watched season 1, read all the books & am now watching season 2. And everytime I feel better.
Everytime I read the last chapter of "Confessor" I have an idiotic smile on my lips for hours, every time I get the link at midnight for a brand new episode I'm all giddy, excited & nervous, everytime I watch "Denna" I cry & squee, bewildered.

Right now, I have no life. The only bright spot was brought by three characters, played by three amazing actors.
