A Day in the Wild West!

It's been a few days since I was last around since I've been stuck at work and I'll be honest, when I have been home I've been lost in a book a long way from thinking about my computer... 
Today when I finally sat behind the screen, I was totally unsure as to what I wanted to do. I don't know how I felt but it was hard to know where my brain was going... That's one of the things that I love about blogging, the therapy seems to come naturally... Once I put something on, it all just magically started coming together... 

Some how when I slipped into the Dianne Dress - from AsteroidBox, available until June 10th at Kustom9 - and played with the colours, the blue-ish coloured seemed almost denim, and therefore my brain ended up with a bit of a Calamity Jane moment... 
For some strange reason, I ended up in the Wild West - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - ready to shoot any bad guys that come to my little corner of the Wild West...

Hanging around in the BOOM!

What happens when you leave the oven on too long whilst baking FAR too many cookies... If you perhaps, leave it on and walk away from the kitchen... BOOM!!! The kitchen becomes a warzone and there's fire everywhere... Now OK this didn't actually happen following yesterday baking binge, but had you going there for a moment, didn't I?! 
For some reason today, just like yesterday, I got an idea into my mind and that idea took on a bit of a snowball effect, going from a twinkling in my eye to a picture on the screen... It was a total blast to shoot, although it was a littl dangerous hanging from my parachute in the middle of a warzone... 

I thought it would be easy, I parachuted into the location, hoping to find out where the fires were being started  but due to my miscalculation and the wind blowing a little more than I realised, I found myself caught up and swinging from a crane right over the middle of an almost "Dead" City - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis by the way - legs dangling as things were blowing up around me and below me... Looks like I might miss out on some of the fighting this time...

November 11th: Remembering Them...

It's November 11th... Today for the British it's a Remembrance Day. A day of peace, respect and thought in which people all over the country stop for a moment or two and think back on all of the people that have lost their lives to protect our little island nation. 
Remembered on November 11th at 11.11AM, the exact time that WWI was declared over in 1918, I always take a moment or two to stop and to think and although I'm not religious, offer a silent thank you to those people. Other places in the world do this on different days - the Dutch for example have remembrance day on May 4th to mark the close of WWII - but right now, I sit back and wonder what those men and women who have lost their lives fighting for Britain throughout history would make of Ol'Blighty now... 

Traditionally in the UK, Remembrance Day is marked with Poppies, as they were the blood red flowers which bloom over the battle fields in France, and I did just buy some lovely poppies in SL which would have been perfect to memorialise things, but then I found this pose prop from Come Soon - called Lady Autumn - and the white roses just seemed like poignant hints at peace... The world could do with a little more peace nowadays, don't you think?! 
As always with Come Soon Poses, the pose comes with a full scene and just the option to use the pose alone - here I was a little naughty and used the chair and roses along with the pose - but by having the tank and the sandbags - available from H&C Wheels by the way - I brought the memorial to life a little!
Let's make today, and all the days following, a day of peace! I know that it's a lot to ask but isn't it about the time world was allowed that?

Hair: Magika - Friday in 02

When War Strikes...

Fighting causes pain, no matter what the outcome, no matter how hard you try to stop the pain it comes through no matter how strong willed the person is. You find yourself wondering "is all of this worth it?" and for me personally I want to do what the Ostrich do and bury my head in the sand. I'm really not good with conflict, the stress tends to cause me to break and I cry a lot... Yet it takes an episode like the one I'm dealing with to make a girl realise that people are not as they seem and that in SecondLife people can hide their real emotions and leave turmoil in their wake... 
Rudh got dressed for war... War seems to be coming and there is no power to stop it... I just hope I am strong enough to handle the destruction once it's all calmed down. 

As I said, Rudh got dressed for war... Wandering through the ruins of Everwinter, wearing a Secret Agent Uniform of the Zenith division and the shells of war - a DECO necklace - she really is ready for battle... It's coming, I just don't know when... The threat is hanging around like a bad smell. Her face is already scarred - using the PSYCHO.Byts Badass Fighter wounds that you can grab in the Addicted to Appliers Hunt until tomorrow - from battles since the weekend, lets just see how she looks when this is all over shall we?!

Rudh joined the Mickey Mouse Army

Monday Morning, June 20th, and it's raining! It's a true Summers Day here in this part of Europe... One of the funniest realisations came to me this morning... When I initially moved to Holland, all of the Dutch people would tell me that the weather here was better than it is in the UK... NEWS FLASH TO THE DUTCHIES OUT THERE - the weather here is no different to the weather in the UK, it's windier, true, but it rains just as much!!
Still as it's Monday, it's time for me to pull up my big girl panties and swing into fighter mode... I have to work with someone I'm sure you've heard me complain about before, and right now I need to be ready... Perhaps channelling Rudh's latest Army style will give me the power to fight and ignore the irritations in the office?!

This fighter in the Mickey Mouse Army, just happens to be Rudh! She's enjoying a moment's peace - and some WHOLE WHEAT - while she prepares to face any drama that may come her way, and unfortunately knowing SL as well as I do, that won't be too far away.
Her military uniform is made up of the awesome katat0nik "Button Up Romper", which is available this month for Collabor88, and the surprisingly great with the romper "Adrianna Boots" from Pure Poison! Oh and of course not forgetting her whole stack of accessories too...
I'm hoping she's ready for war... I feel it's coming!!!
