Atomic Estates Salvage Station

I'm hiding away in my brain, nothing real is allowed and I WANT so bad to get lost in a fantasy right now... My mother is sick in the hospital, and although as yet it's nothing too bad, right now she's yellow...We are trying to make light of it, joking that she was a Simpson for Halloween but it's nerve-wracking... My brain has even been making up scenarios like she's living in the post-apocalypse and had to take a bath in special water which makes the skink go yellow... I guess it's all the fault of the fact that I've stopped at the Salvage Station...

The Salvage Station I'm visiting today happens to be located in the Barassi Desert - which happens to be a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - I've been told to take precautions from the air at the Atomic Estates - items from LORE, available until November 30th at Salvage Station - any time you leave the accomdations... 
I've made sure I have a mask and goggles, I'm wrapped up like an Outlander in a Cowl and Coat - from SOMNIUM - and my Deteriorate Pants - from AsteroidBox, also at the Second Life Syndicate's Salvage Station - are great for keeping my legs warm and for keeping my false leg attached...

Crazy Days in the Paraphile Ward

Life is crazy right now and I feel like I'm living in a crazy house... I'm stuck in Holland while my mother is in hospital in the UK having some checks done because she's sick and it's driving me crazy... As if life wasn't crazy enough at the moment. I REALLY feel like I need a break from everything... Someone come and get me please... 

All I seem to do right now is hide away from the world when I'm not at work, all I want to do is sit around a read and hide from anything that looks like responsibilities... 
I mean the Smut that I tend to tead would get me into trouble with Jesus - like the poster states "Is that Smut?" in the neon frame from Venture - and so Rudh's been tied into the darkness to get some time away from everyone... Dressed for her own protection and forced to wear her Shock Treatment Crown - from NORUSH - but it's her imagination she truly has to worry about... My penchant for being a bit of a Paraphile, someone with an erotic interest in things that are inanimate objects among other things, and therefore being sent to the Paraphile ward - signs by Krescendo - definitely meant that she met my match in the Freaky Hands - from Tardfish - which must have come from the devil... I think I might like it here...

Tempestuous Tides for Mermonsters and Tentacled Beings

My mind is in turmoil, I am tired and distracted and keep doing things that cause myself harm... Nothing is super bad but I cut myself whilst making dinner tonight and I cried about it far too much... 
As is usual in times like this, when my brain is breaking I find myself disappearing into a prettier and happier part of my mind, somewhere a little more fantastical... The seas may be Tempestuous, but the rough seas should be the worst of my problems... 

The tempestuous nature of the seas are only exciting the tentacled beasts below the depths... They make Tentacle Hearts - like those from Krescendo - at the lovely merfolk that swim alongside them... 
This little mermonster knows that she's well protected by the tentacles from the deep, and her Alien Astral - which is actually the name of the head and skin from BeSpoke - aura will assist them in their hunt for pirates, and the protect her from the very pirates that want to steal her tears...

Welcome to the Dark Hotel

The darkness is still lingering and I am not ready to kick it out just yet... I mean there will be lots of pretty Autumnness coming I'm sure, because I NEED to let that out before the mania that is Christmas will start... 
I LOVE the darkness, it's helping me feel better about myself and the situations that I am dealing with at the moment and since everything is getting a little too crazy I might take myself away for a while and check myself into somewhere for a rest... 

The Dark Hotel - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - is the perfect place to rest and decompress after the fun of Halloween... I've checked in and left my bags ready to be collected by the porter, and while waiting I've met some of the most wonderful locals and their pets - which happen to come with the Wini Dress from Mug. I think that they were drawn to me and my amazing Anxiety Master side, either that or my fabulous GothChic Earrings - from Boutique #187, available until November 15th at DUBAI Event - I didnt even notice the fact that I'd started to bleed... I just hope I can get some rest soon...

Still it is the day after Halloween and the dark little spirits are packing their bags and heading home... Magic is being collected and stored by those magical beings which are staying behind, and I am a dark little being taking myself off for a nice relaxing bath...

Tricks or Treats for Halloween

Tomorrow is the big day, the one we've been waiting for ALL MONTH... Tomorrow is Halloween. The spookiest day of the year when the spirits come out to play... There seems to be something so special at this time of year, and although sometimes I wish it was celebrated here like it is in America, I've done all I can to make things happy... It's a long shot considering everything that I've got going on at the moment in RL, but I've carved my pumpkin and got some candy ready just in case... 
In SL I have other plans... In SL I am getting ready to take my own kids out on a mission to Trick or Treat...

They are a pack of little ghosts, some Meow-oween Cats and Howl-oween Dogs - both of which are from Aardvark, with the cats at Kustom9 and dogs at ACCESS - and so I as their responsible adult I've decided to be their Ghostbuster... 
Things have been successful so far... The kids have all had lots of delicious treats... The last house on the block is known as "La Villa" - which happens to be a backdrop from FOXCITY - usually has the bestest of treats which are set out on a Candy Chair - from Junk Food - for easy access...

Catching Dreams and Nightmares

When I'm working on looks and setting up pictures, it is only a matter of time before something magical gets it's way and is allowed to escape from the darkest corners of my mind, into the light... That is especially true at this time of year, when the monstrous are waiting to be freed...These monsters can come from dreams and nightmares, fears and frights or even just the deep dark of my mind, but when they come into the light they always seem just that little less daunting... Nightmares have been plaguing me lately, now I'm going to learn how to face them... 

There was one a swamp that I inhabited within Second Life. For the longest time I was one of the Gators, causing chaos in my own little world and having lots of fun being sociable for every minute of it... Since those days are now WAY behind me, I feel much less pressure to be the sociable one, I feel freer and less contained and I really didn't want to be in that world anyway... 
Today though it is to that dark little swamp I return to meet a monster from my past, a demon of the dark and murky places. This one can often be found controlling the nightmares but also collecting the good dreams and locking them up inside the collection of dreamcatchers, to release them when I need the peace and tranquility of good sleep... Not often mind you, this is a monster we're talking about...
