Rock On To Feel Better!

One of those bad days for me, I'm really trying to keep things together but it seems like days when I'm off work and home alone are the worst kinda days. My Dad will be coming to visit soon, and I'm happy to have him here but at the same time I'm kinda scared about how things will pan out having him and not mum around... I just need a way to switch off right now... I'm going to put some music on and try to rest my messy brain... Nothing to do but put on a little heavy metal and dance around like no one is watching... 

I'm missing live music, I'm missing the chance to let my hair down but the last time I was at a concert it was pretty painful and I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet... So I'll just find myself a little bar some place dark and evil and grab myself a little drink so the music can really take a hold... 
Sometimes you gotta let the monster out to make you feel better, right?

Detectives NEED Snacks!

There are often times that secrets will come out... Things slowly start to unravel and what was once a happy story can change so quickly overnight... The question is... WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE INFORMATION YOU'VE RECIEVED?! How do you let it affect you? How will you move forward from any revelation?! Sometimes, the information you discover can be life shattering. It can change your perspectives on the life you've lived and the people you've been surrounded by... It becomes like a game of detective, and it's hard to know what's entirely the truth as you're missing a whole side of the story... Recently, my mind has been plagued with this kinda connundrum and I'm going to share with you,  my thoughts... Come into my little detective office... I have snacks! 

So backstory without too many details... I recently learned something new about people I love, and it hit me like a freight train, it wasn't even like being hit by a truck with the level of "what the fuck did I just learn?" it was MUCH, MUCH bigger than that... It's taken me a few days to process and I NOW need to vent a little just to clear my head before I can move on... Hence why I brought snacks... 
Now I've gotten my head around the information, and asked the people involved some VERY difficult questions. I want to move on with my life, but how will I do that? 
I'm not the kind of person that could harbour resentment to these people. I am the kind of person that feels massive amounts of anxiety though, and I NEED to figure out my game plan... Even though the news was earth-shattering, I have to take various parts of it with a pinch of salt. The person it involves cannot speak for themselves, and only having one side of the story is NEVER going to be total clarity. 
Yet I won't let this tarnish my relationship with this person, I won't let this tarnish the relationship I have with the others involved, and my history with these people will always been seen through the eyes I saw it with - not with the new information I have now - because I loved what I had and don't want to change how it was... 
Going forward though I'm treading carefully... I love the people involved. Secrets need to remain out in the open now though, NO MORE SECRETS because I cannot handle there being MORE surprises like this... The people involved know that, the people involved have been warned. I am not ready to move on too much with this new information, but that won't be this way forever and NOW I am just picking up the pieces... Wish me luck... 
Jamwich anyone?!

Warning off the Wonderland Weirdoes!

Left alone for 5 minutes today, and in that time I managed to talk myself OUT of doing something too crazy when it comes to blogging, and INTO something crazy blogging wise that made me super happy... I love it when you can start with the smallest of items and think... WHAT THE HECK AM I GONNA DO WITH THIS? If you do it long enough, the outcome will surprise you, and it's THIS REASON that I've always said blogging is like a therapy for me, because I get distracted, I relax and magical things happen!!! Today, the magic happened in Wonderland... 

I dunno if you've realised this yet, maybe you have and it's OK if you haven't but sometimes my blogging gets a little strange LOL... When I get fantasy I always find myself slipping into a story, and there aren't many classics that seem as weird in their landscapes as Wonderland has always felt... It's easy for my tired mind to go there... 
Today a cuttle little Bunny - which is actually the head released by BeSpoke that comes with SO MANY options it's definitely worth checking out  - Girl found herself in Wonderland, looking for her friends that were hosting their tea party... Luckily she was warned in advanced to come prepared because the critters in this world can be a little pushy...

Bunnies Hunting Ghosts

As is customary this time of year I KNOW that Halloween and the spooky season is coming, and I want to start prepping. I want to get ahead with plans for the spooky season and I have a LOT to do. I've started to check out the creepy places, I've planned trips to collect pumpkins and other important things like candy, but today I met up with a bunny friend of mine for what could be the scariest mission... Today we needed to catch some spookies... 

You should know by now that I always go prepared for this... I have all of the ghost hunting tools, including some very new Ghost Radars - from MadPea - that help in my search. My bunny friend came prepared with his polaroid - he's a Polaroid Bunny from MishMish by the way - so that we could also photograph any evidence before we tried to lure the spookies out to play... 
His pictures are showing signs of something in the dark, and I have a feeling that there may be something watching me... Least we are in the right place in this Dead File Storage...

Darkness and Magic at the Midnight Order Show

Escaping from reality at the moment seems like a Really good idea, but I'm sure you've picked up on my desire to do that already. I did that yesterday when I had some Ice Cream, and today for some reason I'm feeling a little macabre in a good way... I mean if you've read what I have to say at all by now you'd know that the darker I get, the happier I tend to be, so this is a good sign right?! 
Today I decided to go back to one of my favourite Happy Places... The Carneval... For some reason, killer clowns (SL versions of me ONLY lol) and dark, macabre carni-types make me happy... Let's go play with them shall we?! 

Up on the stage, that has been known to be used for everything ranging from comedy nights to burlesque - a backdrop from Paparazzi by the way - one of the Carnival Freaks has a magician's show to perform... This one may go wrong at any point, hence the leftover body parts, but she's trying, what more can you expect?! 
Least if the magic trick goes wrong, her adorable little Jester Rat - from Tardfish, available until Augusut 31st at The Men's Department - can provide a brilliant distraction for the crowd, whilst the cleaning crew come in to help!!!

A Dark Day at the Beach

Everyone and their aunty seemed to be flocking to the beach yesterday as it was supposedly the best place to see the Eclipse that happened last night... I should have gone, I should have tried to participate but I just felt like crap and while I was in my PJs I missed the event as the sun was hidden behind a building on our street... It's fine, for me I feel like the sun has already gone, and the Summer can quite frankly sod off now... I'm done with the heat... I cannot wait for the Brrrrr months! 
Still I realised that I haven't been to the beach this Summer, I haven't felt the sand between my toes and the cold waves rushing to meet me... So maybe I need to rectify that situation a little bit?! 

Apparently it's going to be another scorchingly hot day today and I'm REALLY not a fan of that... Like I said, roll on the Brrr months! Dark little Living Dead me, really isn't a fan of being too hot... I'd much rather be too cold and wrap up under a ton of blankets! The beach and I are just not really friends because of that LOL... 
It really is too fecking hot today, the beach will be the coolest place, least one can hope anyway!!!

Wanna Fight? Bring It On!

Grief is such a terrible and weird thing for anyone to go through... They say there are 5 main phases, but honestly it feels more like you're on a sliding scale and can go backwards or forwards at any time... I feel like I'm taking two steps forwards and then four back, only to move another five forwards and three back... If I could just work through the stages without any of this back and forth, that might be good for me right now... 
At the moment I'd say I'm definitely feeling angry about things... It's time to vent again... Please bear with me... 

When you lose anyone it doesn't matter who or how, even discovering someone you barely knew has passed can be a strange feeling of grief but, and maybe this will sound weird, I am angry about a few things and I guess the guilt of being mad at them isn't helping me heal... 
We've known that mum was sick since November, that's true... My parents decided that it was better for us to NOT know how bad things were so that we'd continue with our crazy busy lives as normal. I don't hate them for their choice, but mentally I had less than a month to prepare and yes I KNOW there'd never be enough time to get used to the idea that someone you're very close to is terminally ill, but it might have helped a little now if I'd known earlier?! Maybe?! 
Also, and this may sound even weirder... My grandmother - Mum's Mum - has been sick with demensia, unable to get out of bed, and wishing that she would be able to just sleep and not wake up for almost 2 years now... She's 94... WHY DID MUM HAVE TO GO FIRST?! I love my Grandma, I've been mentally preparing to have to say goodbye for a long time, and she out-lived my mum... Why couldn't mum have done what her mum did and live to be as old as the dinosaurs?! 
Perhaps it's weird to think like that, and I promise it's not the most forefront thoughts in my mind, but it's there... It's hurting and I NEEDED to release... Some day I will get back to blogging properly when I feel up to it, following the schedule I set and managing targets but right now... Anyone wanna fight me?

Amsterdam's Pride

Hello out there, remember me? I'm that girl that used to ramble on about nonsense in every blogpost I wrote, usually accompanying that with a silly picture that I loved but most people probably thought was a bit bonkers... I've had a bit of an unexpected absense recently... I've alluded to things in the past but mid house move, we had an emergency in RL and I had to make another mad dash back to the UK... I'm not really ready to talk about it yet, but I will in time, even writing this is making me emotional... 
Still, I NEED to start finding some semblance of normality... I'm back in Holland now, and since it's a special day in Amsterdam, I'm going to use it as a gentle way to get back to blogging... 

Today is Amsterdam Pride... Not being proud of Amsterdam - although that is an every day thing for the Amsterdammers that I know and love - although perhaps it's a good day to be proud of the city and it's people. A day when the Netherlands shines as a Gay capital of the world, and Amsterdam being the first city to legalize same sex marriages throws open it's canals for one of the most colourful parades in the world... I LOVE Amsterdam Pride every year, this year we're hosting World Pride too which makes it seem extra special. I just wish I was feeling strong enough to go and join the fun!!! Everyone should be celebrating love today... Love is one of the most important things a person can have, it's one of those very important things that keeps me going... I'm going to enjoy a little love today, celebrate Pride a little more and enjoy some special churros and maybe a little puff-puff-pass action?! 
HAPPY AMSTERDAM WORLD PRIDE DAY!!!!

A Laundry Day Discovery!

I'm having one of those days, the kind of days when your brain is so messed up, and you've forgotten that you've already blogged something but then you remember it's OK, it's laundry day anyway... I have so much laundry since I have yet to unpack from my trip home... Some things still smell like the laundry detergent that my parents use... I guess though it's time that I suck it up and do some laundry...

I did a lot of laundry at home when I was helping my dad with things for him and mum, but there's always some stuff that I have to wash... 
When I was playing with my clothes in Second Life, I discovered that there was a lot laundry to get done there too... I tend to wear outfits so often and then I never see them again after a week's wearing of them LOL... Perhaps I should wash them before I put them away... So I grabbed all of my dirty wash and headed on down to the Bubble Bliss Laundromat - a backdrop from K&S - and started sorting my clothes into the machines... 
It was then that I made the crazy discovery... A friend of my Dad's, the pigeon named Walter - a release from YOKAI for the Animal Party that can be found until July 10th at Kustom9 - happened to sneak into my luggage and he was only just found... Luckily it was me and not my cat that found him...

Celebrating a little more Pride@Home!

Pride month has been active for a few long weeks and I know that I've missed mostly all of it. I have some very good reasons and as much as I know that Pride is important, right now I don't have much of the normal brain capacity I work with... I Stand by those celebrating Pride, and all the things that it represents, but my ability to see colours in things has somewhat diminished this week! I had devastating news and I'm just trying to keep my head on straight for the entire family... 

Still, since it's drawing closer to the end of the month, and since there are so many reasons for so many to be living their best life right now, I NEED to think a few happy thoughts. I NEED a little colour while there is none here... I went to see the Take That Circus show, but I'm a very sad little clown right now... Perhaps I'm doing things wrong?! 
I popped into Pride@Home for a breather from my families RL chaos and decided it was time for an ice cream... I may have been decked out in rainbows, but that feels like such a mask and putting on a show right now... Maybe I am more like one of the circus clowns I saw than I realised?! 
Hope everyone that was celebrating had a wonderful Pride Month... I will be heading home soon and NEED some time to get my head on straighter! Bear with me, things could get a little more rocky over the next few months!

How Far Will I Float?

I've set my status on blogging sites, I've caught up on everything that I need to do, I am packed I think, and ready to go and I've done my last minute weekend shopping before I leave LOL... I guess it's time for me to go back home and face that music, which hopefully will sound like the Take That concert on the 27th, but may also be a lot more stressful since I'll be dealing with my parents and everything surrounding Mum's cancer issues too... 

I stuffed the cat in her travelling bag, the case is fully loaded and I'm ready to wander into the North Sea and pray I don't get smushed by a big ship crossing it's way down the narrow strip of water... I KNOW there are easier ways to travel but it's been SO HOT I'm taking the coolest option right now LOL... 
For now though I'll say, wish me luck and keep that wish going for the 10 days I'm gone please I think I'm gonna need it more than I ever have before! Don't miss me too much, I won't be posting but I will be lurking around on Social Media somewhat! I'll see you on July 1st for some Summer Sunshine!!!!

Farmers Market for Lunch

It's been the last of my days off for the weekend, and I am ready to go back to work this week.. Just 4 more days until I can go back to England and right now that seems more important than ever as Mum has been in hospital and I'm worried about her... At this rate, the real reason for going now will be a whole lot less wonderful and a whole lot more scary other things... 
I wanted to try and have a day to relax as I waited for news, I decided that since I'm living on the farm I was going to get out and see the countryside... 

I stopped at the Meadow Market, a gorgeous little farmers market - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and stopped at the Mobile Bakery and grabbed myself some Junk Food in the form of a Deli Sandwich filled with cheese and pickles and salad! The jalapeno chips look like I should grab a bag of those too... OOOOH and they have a blind date with a book stand... I've always wanted to try those, though I worry if I get a book I've already read I'll be a little disappointed LOL...

Is it all just a game?

I've been thinking about something since I had a conversation with a RL colleague about how Tim and I met in Second Life. She was curious and I explained to her about the Second Life world, what it's capable of and all of those wonderful things that can happen because of it... She was raving about the Sims, comparing the two and suggesting that she would be interested in coming to see what SL was like... She said she was looking for a new game, and I offered to help her out, but part of me was twitching about it being game... What are your thoughts?

I have thought long and hard about this topic for the past 20 ish years of being in Second Life. When I think of games I do think of things like board games or video games, I think of PC games like the Sims and world building games, but then do I still consider Second Life in the same way? 
For some it looks like a game... Creating a character, creating a world and living a life that is different from the real one, it's an escape and a chance to be someone you want to be... But is it a game, or is it more of a chat simulation programme? I've worked in Second Life in a Real Life job, I met my husband in Second Life and we've been married for 12 years now, and I met some people that I will keep with me always too... Does that make it a game or is it something different? Is it because I've been here so long now that I feel this way, is it still a game to the new inhabitants or is it really a place that's something different? 
What do you think?? I've been pondering this a lot today whilst going about my boring chores, I just want to know if I'm the only one that feels this way...

I don't know if the local basketball playing boys felt like it was good too...

Mermaid of the Desert Oasis

I've had a day off today and therefore I've had a chance to let my mind wander off everywhere that's not the normal day-to-day humdrum, but as usually on a day off I let my mind wander and went to somewhere weird and fantastical...

Tail Waggers in the Dog Park

One of the most beautiful things about Second Life is that you can be whoever or whatever you want to be... You can be as creative as your mind will let you and it frees us of any real life limitations. SOMETIMES that works in bad ways, as we have seen recently with all the drama surrounding one of the head honchos at Linden Labs and they happiness at his recent departure. More often than not though, it gives people the creative space - and so long as they aren't hurting anyone - I feel that this can be an amazing opportunity to be, do, and try new things that you'd NEVER have the chance to explore in reality... 
There have been so many interesting advancements in all my years in world... From prim to sculpties to mesh and beyond, animations improved, HUDs revolutionised everything and now there are creative people out there running experiences... There's something for everyone... 

Today I decided to take a trip to the park with the Spring Courtyard - from Synnergy.Tavis - and the Eupawria Dog Park - with items from the Krescendo collection available at Kinky until May 22nd - which is a collection of the cutest puppy things and the perfect place to play... 
This visit ties in with what I was talking about earlier though... Second Life is full of new innovations and every day we see brilliant creators coming up with things to make their entertainment space better... I am going to preface this with saying that I am not a girl with this particular kink, nor am I a Furry - although I have plenty of friends and family that are in both Second Life and Real Life too - but I do LOVE to play dress up and will always be a barbie doll with a big costume box...
An old friend of HellBone's has come out with something that can, will and should be a great new tool for people that have a love of pet play. At the moment there are systems for Puppy and Pony play, all running under the brand of Tail Waggers; a one woman show with a system similar to that of the plant pets and zooby babies that grow... The system will mean that a Puppy or Pony with the HUD needs feeding, exercise, attention and even medical care, and this in turn will create an interactive connection between pet and handler... 
Now as I said this isn't really my bag, but there are so many people out there that may be interested and I feel that this system has been so well thought out that I think people need to know about it... More information can be found in world... Are there any Puppy's or Pony's out there that would enjoy something like this?!

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...

Money Can Be Spirited Away

So you may know that HellBone and I are currently living somewhere that's not home while our house is being rennovated... If you haven't I don't blame you for ignoring my ranting over the past few weeks LOL, but it's one of the bigger stresses of my life right now, and I'm rambling about it A LOT... Anyway, luckily in this process we're being assisted with government subsidies, and it's not a brag it's a moment of "thank god" because everything is SO FECKING EXPENSIVE... We had to go buy a new toilet today... DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE THINGS COST?! I know that there are costs of manufacture and for the sales company, but they are getting things cost price and it seems the consumer is getting bit in the butthole... Is it greed or is it necessity these days?!

I know talking about money can sometimes seem crass... I'd never ask anyone about their income or share mine with the world for that matter but they always say that money makes the world go round. They also say that it doesn't make you happy, but at the same time that's not enitrely true is it... If you don't have enough to live on or with then you're more likely to be a stressed and unhappy person... It seems though that these days everything is SUPER expensive, and yes I get it's because of all of the war taking place and the cost of living has naturally increased but life gets more expensive by the minute! 
Even the spirits that guard the world's most secretive vaults are concerned... There seems to be an explosion and a drainage of captial here, there and everywhere... Our little Spirit Guide - ears and a tail set from HAZEL by the way - is concened because her soul key - which is actually the Dungeon Keys from [NoRush] that sit in her chest - are no longer needed by the powers that be... They can just raise prices so the people that need her keys are left to suffer...

Time to Rehydrate

I had a day off and decided to spend the day with lots of music and dancing and it made getting my chores done much, much, much more interesting... I'm on a happy cloud nine where music is concerned at the moment... Next month I get to go back to the UK to see Take That - as well as my parents and sister - and yesterday I booked tickets for HellBone's Birthday to see Five Finger Death Punch on their anniversary tour in Europe next year... I know that they are total opposites musically but I LOVE both... I'm a happy girl now... 

So today, I've taken myself out for a little more dancing, the club "Night by Cyber" - a backdrop from Vile - I got dressed up in the most Divine Set - from Psycho Barbie - the comes with a gorgeous spiked corset, dress, garters and stockings. The metal spikes reflect the light and the shiny fabric will catch the eye... 
As much as dancing is fun, I might have to take a few minutes for some fresh air and a chance to sneakily rehydrate - from my Midnight Flask by Boutique #187 at the current round of Dubai - before I head back in to dance some more... I'm not as young as I used to be, this is a lot harder than it looks...
