before/after - hide and seek
Hope you guys like!! It was very fun to do, plus I got to clean the attic!!! Woooop
What I did here was adjust the curves, colour balance and added in the shadow of my hand on GIMP. I dodged my face a little to make it brighter and made my cheekbones stand out more to make me look a little cuckoo
Aaron time soon! Aaron time soon!! Aaaaahhh I am so excited!!!!
Here’s a question for you guys - whats your love story?? I am a sucker for romance, and I’m sure you guys and girls out there have some tales - so share share share!!!
On the blurb book front, things are going awesome!! All the money raised through them so far is going towards a food and aeroplane- ticket-home fund for when I move next year. For those who missed that post, you can preview and order the Behind the Scenes - Fairytales book
A couple of people have noticied a lack of regular updates - this is because I am still taking 365s but posting them under the “family only” setting. I am still doing 365, but its a personal thingy now because I don’t want to post crap some days. Maybe one day I will post the ones that never made it. Perhaps 
Love to you all
ITS AARONS BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!!!
and happy birthday to andrea!!

Hi Rosie
Me and my boyfriend are in a long-distance relationship, and have been for nearly four years now. We’re both from the UK but I live in Northern Ireland and he lives in Manchester, England. The distance is nothing compared to some of the stories I’ve read on here, but it’s so hard being apart from him.
We started talking in January 2005 after I randomly added him on MSN through an old chatlog I had saved on my computer. At the time, he had just came out of a bad relationship and I was in one. I can’t remember how it happened but we just ended up talking for hours on end everyday. I remember rushing home everyday after school just so I could talk to him on MSN. I started to feel really guilty though as I was with someone but all I could think about was Matt. I was really scared to get into anything with him as I knew it would be hard but I couldn’t help myself. In June 2005, after months of talking, I ended things with my current boyfriend and started going out with Matt a week later. We just clicked so well.
After 4 years, we’ve changed a lot but we’re still as strong as ever. Like every couple, we have our fair share of arguements but I never want to be without him. In the beginning, we didn’t get to see eachother a lot but now I travel to Manchester every month or two to see him and vice versa. I’m really close to his family and he’s close to mine so everything feels really nice. I’m even moving there for University next year
It’s been really nice to read similar stories and I hope things work out for you and Aaron. You both deserve it.
Fi.

I have to tell you that I ran across your and Aaron’s story last week and have been intrigued ever since. I know exactly what you two are going through.
See, last summer, I was also doing 365 selfs, and uploading them to facebook for my friends to see. after a while, my friend was telling me about this friend of hers that thought I was cute and how she thought we’d hit it off and how we both have similar intrests (photography) and I should send him a message on facebook. I was hesitant because 1. he lived in England and 2. I live in America.
sooooo….
long story short, I looked through some of his photos on facebook, he was good AND cute, so I said “what the heck”. we’ve been together ever since. It was almost 6 months before we were able to “meet” in person. He came here, then I went to England over the new year and we are madly in love. He is making plans to move here asap.
Good luck with your love story. you two are precious. I know my story is amazing and no matter the miles (4,624 to be exact) love spanned the distance.

I’m sooo late for this one… but I think you’re gonna love my story. It’s long, though
His name is Saul. Met him on a hip-hop chatroom 12 years ago. There was an amazing chemistry and all and then… I found out he was 13 and I was 18 so that was pretty much the end. I was with somebody at that time and I left him because even though I knew I couldn’t do anything about my love I also new I had to be true to myself.
Saul and I stopped talking because he was mad at me for turning him down… gosh, he was underage!
Well, for 7 years we were on a rollercoaster (as in… we talk to each other again for 4 months, then he acts strange and stops talking to me for two years… we meet again, we talk for 6 months… he disappears again). Long story short, finally we met in real life 3 years ago. I was living with my boyfriend of 7 years but things were not right between us.
Saul and I spent 5 days together and eventually we got drunk and hooked up.I know, I know, not good. Well, I told him that had been a mistake and I had a boyfriend. He went back home the next day and… disappeared again.
Reappeared the 24th March 2007 and again the same amazing connection. I was recovering from a very bad breakup with the guy I cheated on and we made plans to meet in may. It all was some kind of sexual thing in the beginning.
In 2007 we’ve been seeing each other every two months, travelling together… We went for a week to Barcelona and there we just realized we were much more than friends. I’ve already met his parents and he’ll meet mine next month and we’re thinking about moving together. We are soooo in love.
So 12 years have passed since the first time he said I love you to the second time but now… it’s just real, big, beautiful. I’m a romantic so I kind of think we were meant to be but we had to wait that long in order to be ready to what was going to happen.
That’s my fairytale as for now

Well, i decided im going to write my “love story”, just bare with me because im not too good of a writer! Me and my boyfriend Nick met when we were in the 11th grade of high school. He just moved back from Florida and was “new” to our school. (He was originally from Michigan and moved to Florida for two years, hated it and convinced his parents to moved back.) He was in two of my classes and I didnt think anything of him. He had the emo looking hair and i didnt find him attractive at all. My friend’s were being “mean” to me, and to make another long story short, they stopped talking to me for a while. The friends were in the same class that me and nick were in, and i had no one to talk to. So, i talked to nick. He was really nice to me, and we clicked immediately. We found each other on myspace, and started talking on AIM. I would talk to him about my problems and vise versa. He just ended an immature relationship, and i was hung up on this one guy that didnt want to date me. Weeks past and nick started to fall for me. But as for me, i still liked the other guy. Nick told me all the stuff i wanted to hear, that he would give me anything i wanted and pretty much be the best boyfriend ever. I was being naive and just ignored it pretty much. Well, one day i was hanging out with the one guy i liked and realized that nothing was coming out of that, so i told him i didnt want to talk to him anymore. I called Nick, told him to come over and that i changed my mind. We went out for a month and i hated it. He was annoying, clingy, whiney, everything i hated. And i forgot to mention that he was my first boyfriend, so i was new to the whole boyfriend thing. So, it was the end of the summer, senior year was about to start, and i did something really bad. I went out with one of my friends one night, and cheated on him. I only kissed the guy, but i had to tell him. The next day we broke up.
Senior year started and me and nick still talked. I missed him more than anything too. I totally regretted kissing that stupid boy. We talked every night and hung out still. After we broke up, something about nick changed. I didnt think he was annoying, and i was actually more attracted to him. About a month later after all that chaos we started dating again.
It was October 7th, 2007, and it’s been 14 months.
Nick had changed my life. He is not only the love of my life but my best friend. It took me so long to figure it out, but i guess everything happens for a reason. I know i’m probably missing so much cute stuff that went on and i wish my boyfriend could write our love story because he could probably tell it so much better!
Rosie, you inspire me so much. You and Aaron are so cute, and i wish the best to both of you!
