My new account:

Now that my birthday was in this past week, I am finally legal. Therefore I believe a new account is in order.

I could just use this one, sure, but I wanted it to be in my name and I didn't want to completely clear out my gallery in this one (which is what I would have to do).

My gallery in ~shutterbugluv is ten times better than my gallery here. I have been saving up works I have taken for about the last 6 months, and I only put my best photographs on shutterbugluv. Which means you can expect excellence. I really hope all of you go look at everything there, add me to your watches, and follow my journey into the working world. This is my first step into my career and I hope you take it with me.

When you arrive at shutterbugluv, please read my journal!!!! I have written all the info I can think of there about my new site and my policies.

It is likely I won't update much here anymore, however I may update some "lesser" pictures that I still like and want people to see, just not on sBL. sBL is my "unofficial professional" site. I want it to be good. And it is more than likely I will continue to use Liv-one for my journals for updates on my life. sBL is strictly directed towards getting my name and talent out in the field, and I want to keep it as professional as possible, but still have fun with it. It's a new experience. And I'm so excited...!!!

Please visit!! I can't wait to see you there!!!

So I was watching bleach amvs yesterday when I should have been working on my ROOTS project for Creative Writing (she has us do more projects than any of my previous teachers!!), I found this awesome amv. A bleach amv. And I have to share it with you.

I'm thinking of doing a journal with my fave amvs of all time, but for now, watch that. You won't regret it.

Okay, here's what has happened:

Usually, I just have one spiral where I write all my fanfictions and stories and such. Something no one will ever see. Well, this year I'm taking Creative Writing and my teacher wants us to keep a "Writer's Notebook". At the end of the 6 weeks, she will go through the notebooks and see what all we've written in them. Well, I kind of started a story in in that isn't like my usual stories.

Now, I've downgraded it a lot than how I originally planned it (think of Stephenie Meyer's Forever Dawn- she never thought it would see daylight), but I'm afraid that it's over the limit of "School Appropriate".

Could you PLEASE tell me if it is over the limit??? I've posted the parts in question at the bottom of this message and you would be an angel sent from God above if you would tell me if it's okay, or if I should tear the pages out. Please help me on this!!!
I will be forever grateful and you will earn yourself twenty cookies!!


Part A

The slight breeze raised goose bumps on my arms. Looking up at the starry sky, I couldn't see much. I could see the light of the moon, but its shape was distorted by the many branches between myself and it. Barely any light made it through to light the ground beneath the thick forest branches.

After stripping down to the bare essentials, I walked over mossy rocks and earth covered in grass to a small lake. Gin was there already, waiting for me in the water.
...
I came to the edge of the pool and dipped my foot in slowly. A shiver ran up my body from that point, but it wasn't an uncomfortable cold. I continued to wade in until I was walking along the bottom of the lake towards him.
...
"This is nice," I said quietly. I knew my eyes would likely give me away. The impending wedding date was back on my mind.

"So that's what's been botherin' ya?" Gin asked, a sly smile playing across his face.

My eyes widened. He could tell I was upset? I spoke my internal question and he replied, "Of course. Ya've been lookin' like ya were 'bout to cry all night."

I remained silent, looking into his eyes as I tread the water around me. "But I can fix that." I was sure what was coming next, almost wishing for it to come. To take me away to the place where only he and I existed.

He neared me, a grin stretching across his face. My face remained motionless as he pressed his lips softly against mine.

They were soft, and his breath hot. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, while his hands found my neck and pulled my face closer to his. My left hand found his hair and I pulled my fingers through it, locking them so his hair was caught there.

He kissed me passionately, soft and gentle at first, and then it slowly turned. I could feel stress and impatience through his lips. I kissed him back, hoping our happy place would come quickly. One of his hands stretched back against my head where he began to run his own fingers through my hair.

In minutes I was breathless and gasped for air. In that few seconds where the cool air around us cleared my mind, my conscience kicked into full gear. 'I shouldn't be doing this.'

Part B

Without warning, Gin leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. They were harsh, harsher than the first kiss that night, as if they were determined to convince me to stay with him.

I tried to fight back. This was wrong; it would only cause more pain later. My hand rose to push against his chest in defiance, but Gin paid no mind to me. He continued to kiss me passionately, leaving no holes for escape. What was the point in protecting him if he wouldn't let me protect him?

I quickly gave up and let my hand merely rest where it lay. My lifeless lips became animated, and, to his glee, I kissed him back. The irrational part of my brain won.

This kiss, this final kiss between us- I knew it would be our last; we were out of time- broke all the rules. All the strictly-enforced rules Mother had set for me to follow, it broke them entirely. And as my lips moved with his in unison, I felt free. It was a different free than whenever I was in his presence. It was the kind where I could laugh and run and not worry about what tomorrow would bring; the wedding was a lost thought. This free took all the rules and restrictions I had set while being with him and threw them out the window.

I chuckled softly as I breathed in. I knew he was smiling, too. He could feel the same freedom I felt. We were whole. One, together. Divided, but united.

We were one.

So they actually let us out of school today and we now have an unplanned 3 day weekend. Bad news is a -possible- category 3 hurricane is headed straight for us. Only like half of the city is leaving; after Rita I don't think we're too worried about what all is happening.

Think about this: 3 years ago (nearly to the day, I might add), I was writing One Night and Rita was about to strike. Now, I'm focused almost entirely on my photography and Ike is headed straight for us.

I might add, that this storm has postponed our Homecoming game and dance. IT'S MY SENIOR YEAR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! I think the great forces of nature just don't want me to go to that dance. This will be the first time I've ever gone and this happens.
Oh well; more time to work on my overalls

Speaking of my photography. I've got TONS of stuff to upload, but it's all good stuff. Which leads me to say that I have decided to get my "official" account later this month/early next month where I will be posting all my good stuff. That will be where important people that might hire me can see my actual work rather than pitiful drawings of angels. ([link]) OMG that was bad *hides face in shame*

And from there, it leads me to say that youtube is stupid in only letting you favorite a max of 650 videos. -.- So. I'll be getting a new account so I can keep on favoriting stuffs. ^-^ yay!! As well as another site so I can post my videos and the long-awaited amv that I owe ~Khazia . That's taken MUCH MUCH too long to make and upload. *apologiesapologiesapologies*

I got an 86 on my Pre-Cal test!!! Hopefully this will be my last year of math. Ever.
I'll be taking military science next year, but no more science for me either!! Thank the good lord above us I don't have to wory about a science this year, too. Whew!!

I think that's it...for now.

Oh and check out this awesome amv I found: [link] I want that song so much!! It's so good

Okay. If you haven't seen the commercials for the newest Bleach movie, the DiamondDustRebellion yet, SHAME ON YOU!! SHAME!

Here's the first 6 min of the movie:

The DDR (yes, i know. lol!) will be out in japan on sept. 2 or 3, so look for the subbed versions soon after. If you wait too long, though, youtube will have erased the parts.

DUUUUDE!! Can't wait!!

I really have no idea if I still like anime or not. O.o

I'm over being sick, too! Just in time to school! Can't wait!
