User blog:JERealize/Progress Bar: Issue 006

Welcome again, to another Progress Bar.

Prominent Countdowns
Okay, now. We're getting closer to two major landmarks for me. First of all, my 19th birthday will arrive in 2 days, on a Wednesday, and as a special occasion, the follow-up video will be livestreamed on my birthday as it happens. You can go ahead and watch me, watch my friends, watch my college, anything. Just tell me on chat or over Skype, and I'll show you around. It will be on this Wednesday, between, let's say... 11 AM and 5 PM, Pacific Time. (See? I even give you time for Survivor.)

On April 22nd, seven days from now, something even better will happen. You see, I would have already had 19 birthdays to my name, not counting date of birth, but decent Internet at my place? Forget about it. It was a treacherous road of disabling dial-up, thieving 3G, and slumbering Satellite for me, while some others had the luck of decent DSL, crystal-clear cable, or in some cases, ferociously-fast fiber. Well, that will all change.

In seven days, I will finally... Finally...

(The Rock quotes, "FINALLY!")

Yeah, that.

I'll actually get faster-than-DSL, low-latent, unlimited, and affordable Internet at my place. Plus, at the same time, I'll be testing out a new service for the landlords from whom we rent our house. (No, we actually own a house, but it's a bit too far away from where my father works, so we rented it out to a few people.) They have a similar service, but with a data cap, so if this works, I can refer them to the service I'm using, and we can both get benefits (as long as no contracts are getting in their way).

Once that Internet is within my hands, I'll finally see Tinychat with you guys, share a Skype videochat every so often, and host an RP on May (JERvivor, pronounced like Survivor, since that makes sense). Who knows wnat else will happen? Maybe I can convince William to visit you guys (though I doubt it, since he rates the canon series 6/10, which is at least better than what he rates the latest seasons of Johnny Test).

Well, then, I guess we'll know when we arrive.

Signature Contest
Okay, let's begin this.

Round 1: April 15
So, this is how we'll start. In this first round, the first list of submissions will come through for you to vote on. You can support up to 3 of them on the comment page, and I'll tally up the votes. I'll select the winners from there, and transfer them to the second round.

First Round selections:

(to be revealed later today)

Anything else?
Okay, then. We're done, and don't forget to see the follow-up livestream on Wednesday.
 * Seminar (I should inform you guys)
 * I've been selected as a member of the board for a conference on Saturday. I don't know much more than that, but I'll know more by that time.
 * Progress On Top 10 Videos
 * William and I are still working on our projects, but I don't know much on William's end. I, however am just starting by rooting out some of the lesser candidates from my list.
 * Progress on TDAmerica
 * I'm still working on Episode 8, Part 2, and it might take a while longer than I thought.
 * Featured User Voting Progress
 * It's pretty much the same as that shown on the last Progress Bar.
 * Wiki Battle 1: Rhonda vs Sunshine
 * I want to know their fighting styles and techniques. Any ideas? I really want to do this.
 * Review of LAL ending

 * Making a Song
 * Just thought of it today, actually. I plan to release the lyrics on Wednesday.
