My Philosophy on Love

As an individual who has written a lot {well, not that much} of stories about and movies, and novels about love, I know a thing or two about the subject. I'm not an expert. I just know enough to get by. I don't think I've ever fallen in love but I do have some sort of feelings for boys before. But here's something I thought up;

You know those movies/ novels where you see the boy and girl fall in love and they're together and survive the odds and conflict? Well, what happens to them? I mean, like, after the movie. When we don't see anything after the credits or the pages.

I recently watched a movie called "Prime", a movie about a woman who is older than her boyfriend. She goes to her therapist {who is the woman's boyfriend's mother} and in the end, they break up, get together and right when the movie finishes and a year has past, they break up and stay broken up. These two people claim that they love each other and they went trough the conflict and then gotten together again, so why oh why, did they break up? I found that it was more realistic that they did.

Another movie I watched was called "Elizabethtown", a movie where a man who has single- handedly run his company into the ground and when he is about to commit suicide, fate intervenes and he goes to his recently late father's hometown to pick up the body of his father. The man meets a woman who is very eccentric and they fall in love. As I was watching the roadtrip scenes near the end, I realized that - what the hell, this is a special thing that couples do, if they break up, they're SCREWED. So, the movie ends with the two of them hugging. What would happen next? Are they a stable enough of a couple to get married? Would they break up?

I always wonder these sort of things when I write stories or when I watch a movie. I recently just saw the movie version of "Pride and Prejudice" {Loved it, BTW} and found it a bit strange that Lizzie fell in love with Mr Darcy so quickly. But, then again, I am a Dramione shipper and the concept shouldn't be so sudden to me >_<. But in "Pride and Prejudice", Darcy and Lizzie get married but they don't show much of married life, do they?

The only movie I can think up of when the couple in question is truly revealed and whatnot, is probably- okay here it is, get ready - Shrek. Yup... SHREK. TEH OGRE.

I shall add more on the subject in the near future. Like adultery and what not {that means you're next, "Notes on a Scandel"!}.

Professor Evans: A Sample of Chapter One, She Plots

Hello, hello.

I decide that it would be fun to post up a sample of Professor Evans, a fanfic cowriting project between Stefani and I. I totally fell in love with the idea when she told me about it on MSN. It's Johm Tucker Must Die, Harry Potter and.... a pinch of.... well, something and I haven't decided yet what is it. But I absolutely love it. And with permission of my co writer, Stefani, here's a snippit of Chapter One: She Plots. We're still half way through chapter two: He isn't suspicious.

***
Chapter One: She Plots
Lily left the Great Hall next to her, hoping that their particular scene wouldn't escalate. When would James ever give up on her?
When would he that Sirius was right?
Sirius followed them, as well, and once they were well out of earshot of anyone still at breakfast, James stopped, he stopped, and so did the other two.
"If I'm right...why can't you just ask me in front of the others?"
Lily knew that James would not shy away from a crowd, especially when he wanted to impress her.
"You don't have to worry about it," James said. "I wouldn't do it to you."
Lily stared at James contemptuously.
"What makes me any different than the other girls?" she asked.
"Most of them aren't redheads...aren't green-eyed...aren't named Lily...especially all in one," offered Sirius, then, as an afterthought, "...and he named his last owl after you."
Marlene exchanged glances with Lily.
"What are you playing at?"
"...You asked a question, I answered," Sirius replied innocently.
"She asked me a question," James pointed out, though he had no answer ready for it.
Lily looked unimpressed. "No one names their owl ‘Lily'."
"Right as usual, Evans!"
"Black, shut it, you're as bad as he is!"
Sirius turned his back to the three, hands in the air, tone...exasperated. "I answer her questions, I compliment her and she tells me to shut it. Prongs, remind me why you want to go out with this one again?"
James did not remind him.
He turned from Lily and Marlene, also, and they walked away. Not a sound was heard from either until a good distance down the hall when they resumed conversation, sounding perfectly, joyfully casual.
***

Hehe. As usual, James is hitting on Lily. If I were Lily, one good ol' slap across the face would do.

Until chappie 2 is done,
Sam

OUTRAGEOUS >_>

So, let me get this straight.

I love the Christmas Season.

That's right, the season.

I don't really like the actual day.

Anywho, onwards with the writng of the Blog.

About a week ago, I suffered A HORRIBLE TRAGDY.

I was insulted in math class (indirectly, of course) by the FREAKING TEACHER HERSELF.
And I was just starting to make friends T_T.

Why oh WHY did she have to say that YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHMAED IF YOU FAILED THIS COURSE in front of at least four students who DID FAIL. Dude, you just don't say that. At least say it to your buddies in the staff room. Not in front of impressionable young students. LIKE ME. Okay, I'm not young (well, I'm older than a few of those of students) and I probably am impressionable. BUT STILL.

I only failed last year becuase I couldn't stay awake during class. I have no idea why, but I was just sleepy all the time. And I was too busy garraunteering myself a spot in HL by studying for History more than any other subject. BTW, I got into HL.

Anyway, it's been a week and I'm still not happy about it. So I'm gonna not ask the teacher for extra work during tutoring.

My privacy... GONE LIKE THE FREAKIN' WIND

So, my math teacher think it's great fun to post a MATH BLOG on Blogger. And she thinks it's great fun to make us PARTICIPATE in it. Now I have to hide my Writing Blog from every one in my Math class.

I added some links to my stories from my Mallory_Reed account on Animespiral. I would add my other stories, but they kinda suck. I just posted my one- shot called 'Ameliorate'. I wrote it when I felt really angry about.... everything. I also happen to be writing a new one- shot called 'Iris'. I really like that particular story, I'm almost done, too. This time, it's written in a perspective from a boy. And I'm basing it off of my current High School Experience. >_> Because I can TOTALLY relate to Iris, except for Smart Guys don't fall for girls like Iris and I.

But one of these days, I'm going to post NaScent onto the Internet. I'm on Chapter Ten, where Roy is going to confront Ryan. I got a lot of Planning done, with the elimination of a character and an addition to the cast in the span of three chapters. Kippery's birthday is a big event in the plot, so I assume that her birthday is around Halloween or early November. I'm trying to pull for Halloween.

Another story I'm writing is called 'Professor Evans'. It's a Harry Potter Marauder Era fic where Lily and her friend Marlene are like the chicks from 'John Tucker Must Die' but not so CopynPaste. It's a collaberation between myself and a girl who's name is still a mystery to me. We've just started writing the first chapter.

I really want to add some quotes from NaScent, so here you go!
____________________________________________________
Chapter One: Nobody Can Help
“That’s so stupid and typical of you!”

“I know! I know!”

“You’re a stupid boy, I hope you know that!”

“I do!”

“Good!”

“I can’t believe you can’t stand up to Ally-Marie but you can shout at me!” Roy replied heatidly.

Kippery lowered her head slightly. “I know you better than Ally-Marie. I know how to take you down. But...Ally-Marie is a different person. She can’t be taken down the same way as you.”

Roy placed his hand on Kippery’s head and rubbed at her mess of auburn hair. “I’ve always liked how you think!”
Backing into the gate, Kippery blushed and turned her head away. Roy retracted his hand quickly. There was a few moments of silence before the warning bell rang for class.

“Let’s go,” he muttered and Roy tugged on his messanger bag straps and headed quickly towards the entrance.
***
Chapter Two: The Reincarnate
Ryan looked up and frowned. Kippery looked away quickly. She hated being caught staring at boys, it was a bit of a problem she had. Ryan sat next to her, his face inches next to her’s. Kippery dared to look at him again, his hands on her hips and his eyes on her.

“I caught you,” He breathed.

She didn’t reply, Kippery just stared at Ryan with wide eyes until he kissed her. His left hand caught onto Kippery’s and she fell backwards onto the floor of her bedroom. Ryan pulled away, his legs on each side of her hips, one hand intertwined with one of Kippery’s and the other hand pinning her down.

“I bet,” Ryan said slowly. “you have never even held another person’s hand before.”

Embarrassed, Kippery rolled her head to the side. “You don’t know me,” She muttered.

“Love, listen to me,” Ryan said as he lowered himself to be postioned above her ear. “I know more than you think.”
***
Chapter Three: The Waves Have Parted
Approaching Kippery as Sayoku went to see the teacher, Roy stood over her desk.

“What’s with Emo Guy?” Roy asked.

“Emo Guy?” Kippery repeated. “Don’t you mean Ryan?”

“No, I mean Emo Guy. How’d you meet him and why are you going out with him?” Roy asked.

Kippery hesitated. “I- It’s just that- funny thing, really...”

As Kippery tried to think of a lie, she began to roll her finger around a gold chain around her neck that held an equally gold locket on it. Roy extended his hand to touch it, but as he was about to brush the gold, he felt someone’s hot breath against his neck.

“What are you doing to my girlfriend, Roy?” It was Emo Guy.

Roy turned around. “Nothing. I was admiring her necklace.”

“I was under the impression that you were... what is the word? Ah- fondleling her.” Emo Guy replied, his bright green eyes staring him down.

“Fondle?” Roy scoffed at the idea, slightly embarressed. “There’s nothing to fondle there.”

Emo Guy raised an eyebrow. “I would have to say the contrary.”

Roy exchanged glances between Emo Guy and Kippery. Kippery gasped (that meant it wasn’t true) and Emo Guy was smiling (as if to say ‘Yeah, I fondled her!’).
***
Chapter Four: Consequences Of The Locket
“Hey- I want to ask you something,’ Roy said suddenly after realizing the pause was too long. “How did you meeet Emo Guy?”

“Ryan?” Kippery repeated. She bit her lip and clutched the locket. “Oh- uh... I guess I ought... ought to tell you the truth, right?”

“Yeah, perferably.” Roy replied. “Why? Is there something wrong?”

The locket grew heavy again. Kippery panicked- she had to take it off now, before it choked her. Kippery squealed unexpectantly, she jerked the chain upwards yet the locket stayed put- it was cursed to stay on her. Roy’s eyes widened as he watched- Kippery was trying to take the locket off, but was having no luck. Soon, Kippery lost all balance and fell off of the couch.

“Kippery! Are you okay?” Roy asked as he got to the ground, He was on all- fours over her.

She was still clutching the locket in her hands and her face was red and her eyes were on the verge of tears. Her head was shaking- side to side.
***
Chapter Five: Easy Falling, Rough Landing
“I know that it is October and that flowers do not bloom this time of year, but I had to do something for you, so I figure that I would make the flowers bloom for you.” Ryan explained as he gestured toward the flowers.

Kippery stared at him, being very critical of him. “I don’t understand... you were punishing me last night but you-“

“Persiscely, I was punishing you. I had to reprimanding you for doing something wrong. But I decided that I ought to do something for you.”

“Why? I haven’t done anything special,” Kippery replied.

“Really? I would have to say the opposite, love.”

“I don’t think that I’ve done anything different.”

“I do, love.” Ryan said, approaching her. “Just think harder.”

Kippery gave it some thought, but she couldn’t think of anything yet. “No, I still don’t understand.”

“Think hard as I explain this to you,” Ryan said as he took her into his arms. “Why else would I bloom all of the flowers for you? Why else would I care if the Unfortunate Soul touched you in a way I have not? Why else would I do what I did to you? Why else, love?”

The lights were turning on it the park, the sun was setting and the park was darkening. The glow of the lights were soft and pink. Ryan seemed so much more different now than last night to Kippery.
***
Chapter Six: Cover Your Eyes
Sayoku sat in Roy’s living room nervously. She eyed his home carefully, Roy’s home was so much different than Kippery’s and her own homes. Roy entered the room with a cup for each of them and sat down next to her.

“You said that you needed to tell me something?” He asked.

Sayoku nodded, sipping the juice.

“Just to let you know, the last girl who came in here fell off this couch, so be careful.” Roy said jokingly.

“Yes, you told me about that.” Sayoku said smiling. She put down her cup and glanced up at Roy. “It has something to do with Ryan.”

“Emo Guy?”

“What Emo Guy?”

“Never mind, continue,”

“I don’t trust him.”

“Who does?”

“Kippery does.” Sayoku added. “She’s dating him, something happened for that to happen.”

“I see.” Roy replied. “Continue,”

“And you never saw Ryan before?”

“Never,”
***
Chapter Seven: One More Line
A tall boy from her homeroom class appeared from the trees. “It is only me,”

“You look very familiar,” Ally-Marie replied as she stepped forwards and squinted her eyes at him. “Do you go to Vancouver ‘Igh School?”

“I do, funny enough.” He said with a chuckle. “And I got an offer for you, Ally- Marie.”

She raised an eyebrow. “You do, now?”

“Oh my, yes! Beyond your most wildests of dreams, I do!” He said loudly.

“What is your name then?” Ally- Marie asked.

“Call me Ryan.” He replied simply as he approched her.”You love to sing, right?”

“Very much-“

“Would you like to become famous and sell records?” Ryan asked.

Ally-Marie’s face broke into a smile, her face all red from the sudden proposal and from the frosty air. “I would love to!”

“Great, because I can do that for you.” Ryan sighed suddenly. “But sadly, I can not help you...”

“Why not?”

Ryan walked away slightly, for a dramatic effect. “You see, I can do this for you only if you can... afford the price.”

“Price? My family is quite well-“

“No no. I am not after your money, Ally- Marie.” He interrupted. “Quite the contrary. I am interested in something that money cannot buy.”
***
Chapter Eight: Let Her Go
They climbed into the mini-van, Kippery shotgun and the two boys sitting in the two seater (reluctantly). Mr. Miller started up the engine and the radio started. Yet, the music playing had a strange effect. The song that was playing on the radio seemed familiar, like Kippery knew who the singer was.

She turned it up and turned to the boys. “Do you guys recognize this voice?” she asked.

Roy waited, listening to the music. “I... think so!”

Kippery waited with bated breath, trying to recall who was singing. “Is it... Evageline?”

“Nah, Evageline has a slightly higher voice,” Roy replied.

“How about... that band that came out two years ago with the lead singer as a girl? That could be her!” Kippery said.

I believe that girl is Ally- Marie.” Ryan said suddenly.

“What? How can that be?” Roy asked quickly.
***
Chapter Nine: Pieces of the Puzzle
Roy sat at his computer, simply disgusted. He had just finished conferencing with Sayoku about Ryan again. Roy had told her about Ally- Marie’s sudden rise to stardom in four days.

It was strange, first Kippery is granted her wish- she gets a boyfriend. Then Ally- Marie is a popular singer in the East End of Vancouver in under a week. Before that, Sayoku is offered a deal, although she was never offered a price, by Ryan so that her mother wouldn’t get on her case...

Roy was trying to link these three together. Ryan was somehow involved, distantly, or indirectly at least.

Firstly; when Kippery got her boyfriend, it was Ryan who became her knight in shining armour.

Secondly; Ryan had let slipped that he saw a man speaking to Ally- Marie at the park the day before her success started.

Thirdly; it was Ryan who offered the deal to Sayoku.

Sayoku, on the other hand, thought it was fishy. But they weren’t sure whether or not Ryan was even involved with Ally- Marie. Or maybe it was just a coincidence that he asked Kippery out. Perhaps Ryan was just trying to creep Sayoku out for a laugh.

Sighing, Roy decided to call Kippery- only because she was with Ryan contstantly and Kippery would know whether or not he was speaking to Ally- Marie. Putting the receiver to his head, he waited for her pick up.
_______________________________________________________________

I hope you guys enjoyed it! I will post some chapters on the Internet one of these days.... I guess after Christmas when I'm not busy and when I'm actually done it! Which ought to be soon.

My other one- shot is called Noaa. It's divided into little chapters but I'm calling it a one shot.

Until I write chapter ten;
