I'll be getting an Egyptian Ankh on the back of my neck that I designed myself.
I don't have anyone to go with which is really scary and I'm actually thinking about canceling...too good an opportunity to waste tho' really.

So pictures will follow soon.

Hope everyone's going better than I am.

Oh and 3000 views....

Well folks, long time no activity!
All those months ago, my darling Jesse and I were celebrating our 6 months and our moving in together in our own place. After all this time we are going better than ever and feeling free(er anyway).
I graduated high school and found a TAFE course to my liking; Professional Writing and Editing. I found out about it one day, interview the next and acceptance letter the one after!
It helped that I got a study score in English of 37, which is not bad at all!
Christmas was fun and relaxing, some great presents were received and given, including a new camera off my parents as mine broke. New photoshoots coming up as soon as we get Photoshop again and I set up a space for them.
And yesterday was my 18th birthday! So from now on I progress to mature deviations, tattoos (coming soon!!), adult shops, clubs, legal boozing and a multitude of other exciting and sinful pastimes and activities.
I'm currently running on excess blood alcohol percentages, a few winks of sleep and Mother energy drinks so I end this here.
Soon, my sweets, we will have the internet where we live and I will be able to absorb myself once more into this cyber community.

Bites and kisses.

How come my love is
shameful...
disgusting...
ugly...
unrecognized...

How could you think this is
wrong...
a faze...
unacceptable...
meaningless rebellion...

6 months
and it's only just beginning.

We will endure beyond those petty fools who doubt us.

Together, happily forever.
Endlessly, effortlessly.


All my love to the rose who is lying peacefully beside me, an arm drapped across my stomach.
