Guess what???
I move into my dorm in TWO DAYS (wednesday) and today I'm PACKING!! I'm so afraid I'm going to forget something. Anything you kids in college can think of for me to take that when you got there you thought, "I should have brought that!" ? I have two suitcases, but I'm still not sure how everything is going to fit.
Basically I'm cleaning out my room.
And my parents have gotten so weird and clingy lately. It's so odd!!!


OMG I can't believe college is finally here!! O.o
And don't worry, I will totally post pics of my dorm here for you guys to see. Our room theme is brown and white, so we don't have matching bedspreads, but I think it will look better this way. My bed spread is more of a geometric print and hers is more like a quilt- both from JC Pennie's. That store =AWESOME

Other news!
I finally have figured out Final Cut Express (enough that I can actually work on it for hours, now) and I've decided to enter a contest one of my subscriptions is hosting so I can be part of a MEP (multi-editor project). So I need to make an amv that's at least one minute long. And I need your help with something. I can't decide if I want to:


1. make an amv with "Soma" by the Age of Information [link] <<there's the link<< That song would be an anime mix with Code Geass, Vampire Knight, and Munto; the theme Love
2. make an amv with "Shattered" by trading yesterday [link] <<<linkie<<< with Code Geass, using a CC x Lelouch pairing
3. make an amv with "With Me" by Sum41 [link] <<<link<<< with Code Geass and Munto, using the pairings of Munto x Yumemi and CC x Lelouch and Kallen x Lelouch (that one is a maybe, if I don't have enough clips)


I will eventually make all of these, but I just need something to show my talent (what little I may actually have).
To keep up with my amv making, I will be posting a journal here about the amv's I plan to make, and you can follow me on my youtube site: [link]

By the way, If you haven't already seen Munto, GO SEE IT!! It's only 9 episodes long!!! It's on youtube!

Please comment!

PS. OMG THE MOOD EMOTICONS ARE WORKING!!!!!!

It's up!!!

Go read!!!!! Please??? I know it's soooo good! I hope you read it and realize that too!!

Summary:
SEQUEL TO ONE NIGHT For Kabira, it's been over three years. For Zuko, it's been 6 months. When they meet again, Zuko finds out Kabira has lost all memory of him. Destined to be together, does Zuko have enough strength to protect her from fate?

PLEASE READ!!!!?

I will love you all forever!

Yep! I had oral surgery yesterday.

**DETAILS*** (the squeemish can just pass over this)
So 6 months ago I had oral surgery to put screws into the bone of my jaw (two, actually- I have two missing crowns). So, it's been six months since and during all that time I've been on a no-chew diet to ensure that the screws would fuse with the bone. I'm talking about implants here, so the screws would be an equivalent to a root on a normal tooth. So yesterday I had surgery done to put healing caps in the blank spaces over the screws to expose them. In essence, the healing caps push the gums away so I can put the crowns on later.

Haven't been in a whole lot of pain yet, but I have had a small temperature.

**END DETAILS**

So what's a girl to do with a TON of free time on her hands and absolutely no work for the next 2 weeks????

You may wonder and I may tell you. XD

I got an Apple Macbook Pro on sunday and I've spent all day getting it hooked up and stuff!!! I LOVE IT!!
I'm on it now.

Seriously??? Anyone who's looking into getting a college laptop, look at one of these puppies. So Sweet!!! But it's all about what kind of person you are. If you're not very art-sy and will mostly be using your laptop for school and not cool projects, look at something else. I mean it. If you're like me, you'll want to take a definite look at this. I can't write a full review on it yet because I've been using it for less than 6-12 hours, but so far I reccommend it!

And I installed PAGES today so maybe I can get 3 Seconds Too Late typed up tonight so ya'll can read it soon. I won't be posting it on here, but my ff . net site. I'll post a journal here when I publish it online.

THought I'd give you an update to what I've been up to these last few days...


OH YEAH!!! TRANSFORMERS WAS SPECTACULAR!!!!
And I don't say that about every movie I go see.
Best movie I've seen in years. Better than the first in my opinion. However, I did go with my dad and it got REALLY awkward during some parts. LOTS of crude sexual humor for those of you who haven't seen it yet. However, GO SEE IT!! NAO!!!!!

And when I went I got to see the new Avatar trailer.
I screamed.
Totally unlike me, but I wanted others to know to check it out and to pay attention.
People looked at me.
SLightly embarrasing,
But it was all good.....
GOD I CAN"T BELIEVE I DID THAT
Not like me at all!!!
But I'm still glad I did it. I knew I would regret it if I didn't.

GO SEE TRANSFORMERS!

and QUESTION!!! :
how do I manually transfer my iTunes library from my old desktop to my new mac????!?!?!?

First off:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

I has graduated. Congrats class of 2009...we made it ♥

Which means college is around the corner. I wish I could post which one I'm going to here, but it would be too much info. It's in Texas, though...still...if anyone comes down, let me know!! It'd be awesome to get together (I'm talking to everyone I know OUTSIDE of the state; you know who you are...or should anyway) I'm going to be deep in the heart of Texas for the next four years

If you haven't noticed yet, I posted a grad picture and a prom picture. And for you stalkers, NO I will NOT tell you who I am!!!

So with college comes laptops...and I have a question: anyone who is into art (practically everyone on here) could probably anser this. I'm planning on getting a MACBOOK PRO for my laptop choice (I'm going to be putting Windows on it..long story will be told in a minute) Will it work? I will be a photography major, so would it be sufficient in the programs I will be using, or should I look towards another computer?? As I *will* email*ed* my future professor, "Will the Mac have the capabilities necessary for anything required in the photography courses??"

*this journal has been a work in progress, so …a few days later: *

And this means I’ve also been confronted with the dreaded urge to skip homework and stuff and thousands of questions has flooded my mind. I’ve had a few answered, but if any of you can give me advice, it would be much appreciated. ALSO! I have a question: I live about 3 hours away from my college and so if I didn’t take a car, my parents would have to do two round trips to take me there and bring me home every semester or every time I wanted to come home. So, should I take a car??? Everything is within walking distance otherwise. And I've started having nightmares about being late to class or having my schedule messed up. Orientation just finished FRIDAY!!! I don't start school until the end of AUGUST!!!

AAAAAnd! I got a job! It’s only with my neighbor…kid sitting (no, I don’t sit on kids XD ) but I make some good money every day I do it (about 2-3 times a week).

ONE NIGHT FANS::
I have deleted ONE DAY from my fanficiton . net account. You will have gotten a PM about it if you had favorited it or if you had put it on your Alerts tab. This is the message if you didn’t get it (so I don’t have to re-type and explain it all again. Dear “ONE DAY” reader, This is a message to let you know I will soon be deleting ONE DAY. However, there will be a new story posted in its place. It is the official sequel to ONE NIGHT. Nothing in ONE DAY will be in it; it is a story created apart from ONE DAY (no father coming to get Kabby, etc.). This message has been sent to you because you subscribed to be alerted when ONE DAY was updated. I am sorry for the inconvenience and I thank you for your patience. I hope you read and enjoy the new story, 3 Seconds Too Late.

3 Seconds Too Late will be published on my ff . net account as soon as I sort a few things out. If you want the link: [link] I think it’s also on my “website tab” on my homepage here on DA.
Aaaaaand! AVATAR LIVE ACTION MOVIE!! A snippet will be shown of it on Entertainment Tonight at 7 on June 22. Don't miss it! I know I won't. (Visit my journal entry from yesterday for links.)

Okay, now on to my shutterbugluv account here. It’s still running, but I’ve kinda taken a mini vacation from photography. I think I’ll mostly be concentrating on 3STL and completing the College of Education (elementary teacher) for a while, so….yeah.

And onto Vegas. Not Las Vegas, but Sony Vegas Pro 8 (examples: [link] and [link]8BSLrePz-s&feature=channel_page ) the first example there, Munto, is awesome. GO WATCH IT!!! It’s only 9 episodes, seriously!!! And it’s SO. GOOD. ♥
But, Sony Vegas…I’m going to be getting it when I get my laptop and I want to start making amv’s on it. (www.youtube.com/HandbellOlive <<my youtube account) And I’ve already promised a few people amv/slideshow things.

a slideshow of her work
Squash: a slideshow/amv of SasuHina (not sure how I’ll get that done, yet, but I’ll figure it out
Handbell friends: slideshow of our year together
Random: a football one

If I’m missing anything, let me know!!!

I think that’s it for now….
Love ya!! And Happy Father’s Day to everyone’s Dads! Now go spend the day with them!
