Well I finished the yearbook today. But it took me a while to publish it. The slide show is about 16 min long so it took me 2 hours just to publish it. Then it took me another 30 min to upload and process the video.

I was just about to release it and difficult situations came up. I really don't know what to do at this point.

Yes I admit I did take some people's pictures without their permission for the yearbook. My reasoning is because some people were voted for celebrities a few times. Now my rule was that, whoever was a celebrity, I wont take anyone down. And I honestly didn't take anyone off of the celebrity list, because its not fair to the others.

You know how..in school, your picture goes into the yearbook no matter what. Even if you missed picture day, they find any picture they could of you t be submitted into the yearbook. Right? Well, think of this like that. Yes I know, some people's pictures in the yearbook are missing. Because some of those people have no pictures in my record -_- Some of the Hpers I've never laid eyes on, so I couldn't steal their pictures.
And yes some people used pictures that aren't even themselves, thats because they chose to send in "something" rather than nothing. Like mentioned before, if you don't send in something, I'm gonna put in whatever I can.

Im not trying to be mean. Im not trying to be heartless, but its something that I have to do in order to complete this project.

**Some people were telling me to just edit out the people who don't want to be in the yearbook. But some were telling me to leave it. And...I've decided to leave it. Because if I want EVERYONE to be satisfied with this project, I would never finish this.**

I know some of you will be mad. And I understand. But let me do my job. And then after you can yell at me, be mad at me, talk smack about me, hate me. And I will understand. And I am apologizing in advance.

I have a section in the slide show that is called "Illegally Stolen" in which some of you will NOT be happy with. All I want to say is that I made those pictures slide by quick, and I didn't put in any names.
Again, forgive me.

I worked day and night on this. And I enjoyed it. Everything and everyone I put in this, I thought about them through out the project.
I am excited to hear your comments on this. And I really hope that you guys like it. And to those who hate me for putting in their picture, I do hope it brought memory to you.
Maybe a memory of Donny being a picture stealer.

*in addition: I had to take out some info that you guys submitted in your bios because I had limited space in the slides.

This is all I have to say for now. I hope you enjoy this.
