Time for a Little Detecting...

Is it just me, or is it crazy that we're already at the end of February?! I mean I know that it's a short month, but seriously WHAT THE HELL, how can we already be about to enter our third month and therefore ending our first quarter of the year... It's serously getting to the point of blink and you miss it... 

It's time we opened up our eyes and did some thorough investigating into where the hell the year has gone? There has been so much going on this year that things are whizzing by faster and faster... I think I'd make a great detective, I mean I've watched enough of those cheesy detective shows. I think though I'd be a little more Murder She Wrote/Miss Marple than some CSI/Law & Order style detective... I don't think I could handle the true danger of being a cop in a big city, I'm way too mucch of a wuss... I'd also have to leave my cute puppy friend at home...

Getting Dirty

It's been a busy few days since I've been back in the Netherlands but that may be because I've been back at work and it's been crazy busy... The high season is coming and people seem to be making an appearance within the city... I'm tired and sore but my mind is happy that I was able to get back to work, AND that tomorrow I get to have a lovely day off... 

I love my job, sometimes it's hard work but it's a job that has lovely colleagues and a usually happy public that I can entertain... Sometimes I want to murder a few people, and there are always people that think they know better but it's job that I go out and do, that pays my bills, gets me to meet a variety of random and interesting people and COME ONE, it's CHEESE!! Rudh likes getting dirty in other ways, but even she needs to admit that sometimes it's good getting her hands dirty...

Awakening the Spring Spirit

Back from my vacation and ready to get back into being an adult, I think?!! I mean does anyone ever really want to be an adult? There are so many expectations that I simply cannot be excited about it right now... I guess that's why I let my mind wander into the fantasy realm sometimes, and since I'm already missing my parents, that's just where I will let my mind go again... 
Maybe it's time to start planning ahead and welcoming in the spirits of Spring...

The Spirits of Spring have been hanging around the Nature Palace - which is a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - until it was time to start coming out of hiding. Things are still inter changable between the hot and the cold, there is no way that we can be sure and so everyone has been taking scarves and gloves, as well as light coats wherever they go... Hopefuly now that the Spring Spirits are awakening, preparing their magical spells and coming out into the light things may start getting a little warmer, brighter and happier...

Valentine's Treats!

I know that I have said that I am away in the UK, and that I wouldn't be blogging anything because I'm having family time... Well... That was a kinda fib on my part, it's Valentine's Day and I wouldn't have been able to pass this romance filled day by without sharing SOMETHING on my rambling space would I?! If you answered yes to that, I wonder, do you even know me at all? LOL... Of course I'd find the time to do something full of romance and hearts and far too much sweetness... 

Of course, I will admit that I KNEW there might be something coming. I got ahead of myself and set something up before I left home because I knew myself and that I simply couldn't pass by a day like Valentine's without having something to say here lol... It's an addiction I fully admit to, and I'm going to own it... 
So I'll keep things short and sweet today, and send lots of love hugs and kisses... Remember to love yourself today, doesn't matter if you're in the self-love club or you're happily with someone... Loving yourself is an important step to greatness and if there is ONE PERSON in this world we should all be able to rely on, it's ourselves...

Fresh Out, So I'm Off!

That's it, it's officially Wednesday in my neck of the woods and that means only ONE THING this week... TODAY IS THE DAY I SAY BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... Today is the day that I am officially checking out of my adulting life because today is the day that I am going back to my parents for the week. I will be the only one there too, which means I get undivided attention - ask me later if that's still something I am happy about - but I guess one last post to you now can't and won't hurt... 

So I woke myself up WAY TOO EARLY, I dunno if it was excitement or stress induced but hey, it gave me an extra few hours to be able to sit down with a coffee and write to you about my immanent departure... I've checked and double checked that I have everything, and HellBone won't allow me to take the cat because he needs someone to look after him so I THINK I'm ready to go...  
SO I won't be around until the 22nd - although you know me I'll be lurking somewhere in the background and MAY even have a post prepared, though don't get your hopes up too much at this point - but don't miss me too much... I will be back!!!

Planet Aysa Creama

I'm loving having time off work and I've not even left for my vacation yet, all that happens tomorrow, and today I've just been busying myself getting all ready to go... 
We've had dinner and my hubby has told me that there is Ice Cream in the freezer for dessert... Now all I can think about is Ice Cream... 

It made my mind drift off to random thoughts and that in turn lead my mind to another world that was built of Ice Cream and was inhabited by the Summer Delights Ice Cream Monsters... 
It's perpetually snowing on this little planet that smells sweet and the colours are cute, and tastes delicious... The demonnesses taste delicious too... If you're brave enough to try and taste them...

Fight for Love

Sometimes I feel like I could get into the Valentine's spirit, others I'm as far from interested as any person ever could be... I DON'T feel like being sweet, romantic or anywhere near Valentineish today... I wanna kick someone's butt, I wanna be angry and violent and I'm not even really sure why... So my aggression will start here... I hear there's been some trouble down at the Tunnel of Love... 

As I arrived at the Tunnel of Love - which happens to be a backdrop by blaink by the way - there was no one waiting in line, which should have been my first major red flag... Signs were placed to warn me to be cautious - and well this Boutique #187 Tainted Love sign really summed up my mood, it was so hard to choose a slogan - but armed with a old handmade axe, I wandered through the gates and came face to face with the Mmmmecha 9000 bots - from Krescendo at Hentai Fair - the fight was on...

Would you like fries with that?

It's the month of Love and even though I'm happily married with a grumpy old bugger as my RL - he's my SL too and someone I love more than I'll ever admit to - we're not the romantic type... Our date nights, which seem to be few and far between are never cute or sweet, they usuall involve us looking around weird museum exhibits or the zoo or at loud music events, and I'll never complain about that... I'll even happily share our engagement story which was a HUGE surprise and one he has to compete with any time he buys me a gift LOL... Yet I can't help feel like the romance may be missing at times... 

I guess I'm living my romance needs vicariously at the moment through the books I'm reading, although they are a little darker than your average romantic heroine needing to be rescued... 
At the Retro Diner, the waitresses like to assist with all things romantic, if and when they happen... Dressed in their Paris Uniforms - from littlefox and with a hat from hive all part of a set released in combination with the amazing Fast Food Set Tray from Junk Food - they will assist with anything that they can, including in this case a rather unusual Unconventional Proposals - like the one from Hangry - with the ring hidding in the Nuggets...

Magically Bird Brained

It is time... Finally it is time... I AM ON VACATION!!!! I have a few days in the Netherlands to get some stuff done but on Wednesday I leave and I'm travelling to see my parents again... For now though I feel a little magical, though that could be the crazy busy day I've had and all of the cold medicine, but let's just go with the magic... 

There are still many magical beings in SL, visiting whilst the Midnight Order is still in town. It's here for a few days longer yet, but they are beginning to prepare for a trip to another time and place... 
The mistress of crows is waiting in the clock tower for the Glassed Crow - which grows within the mind of it's mistress and is actually a release from Tardfish - is getting excited... Some might call her bird brained, but when he's excited something magical is about to happen...

Love on the Pastel Promenade

It's the month of hearts, romance and valentines... Pretty, sweet, romantic things that make the heart flutter and those that love love, sparkle... I felt a need to do something pretty and pink and romantic and sparkly, it's not my favourite of the holidays and so I'm doing my best, even though I'm very much the Anti-Valentine right now... It's time for some hearts, romance and sparkly things... 

I wanted to create my own personal little cupid... One that looks sweet and innocent, a cute little replacement for the diapered baby, with someone a little more sweet and devious... A pretty little feathered angel, that's pale skinned and glittering hearts and dripping in pink... It's the perfect outfit to take a walk down the Pastel Promenade in the city of Love...

The Most Magical Library

Tomorrow is my day off... I'm going to spend it reading a book and avoiding being an adult for a while - if you can over look the fact that my reading material would not be considered anything but adult - and I want to head to that magical place where the books are more magical than this crazy life I'm stuck in... I dislike RL people so much at the moment... 

If you need book recommendations then I'm definitely an advocate for Goodreads, and if Goodreads was personified she'd be the most magical of librarians... 
In their library, she'd be surrounded by magic and flying books, and the entire library catalogue will be listed within her Dark Academy Computer - from random.Matter at Midnight Order - so that she can magic up any information to lead us to the smut we desire...

It's a 2007 kinda thing...

I had a weekend off, yesterday was the Hubby's Birthday so I had too much to do, and today I've been playing catch up on things around the house... I also played catch up with an old friend and went on a trip down memory lane... Things were said, my mind was blown, and now I feel like I'm heading back into my emo phase... I feel like it would be the right time to slip into the black parade and live my best emo life... 

In America, weren't they called Scene kids? I know we had them in the UK but I'm not sure I ever used that term, it was only Emos really... I never got into the style much myself, I was definitely part of the skater crowd and LOVED the music but I'd never have referred to myself as a Scene Kid... So I couldn't really resist my chance... 
I loved the vibe of the style, the bright colours and the different to modern posing although still as equally cheesy to witness someone doing in RL  kinda attitude that went with it... So Rudh decided to pose at the Night Bus Stop, dressed up in her best 2007Emotions Outfit - from CryBunBun - trying to look emotionally tortured... Those make the best kind of photos...
