Come On, Play With Fire...

I am going to rant tonight about pet peeves because today people were getting on my nerves... I KNOW everyone has pet peeves, things that irritate them that other people do and I know that I may even be someone who irritates others around me but while working I've definitely developed a longer list of things that people that do that irritate the heck outta me... So let's discuss things shall we?! 

I've said it regularly that I work in retail tourism, but that would be in a cheese shop for those of you that are interested, and working in a setting like that you see so many things on a daily basis that make me wanna slap someone...
Firstly, one of the things is the way people act around free samples... Putting dirty hands into bowls of cheese after pushing the tongs used for picking them up out of the way, is just RUDE... Barging people out of the way just to get at the free samples, is just RUDE... Acting like free samples is anal you can eat buffet, is just RUDE... Though I think for me, one of the worst that I have to just shake my head and walk away from HAS to be the way people chew... Slapping their lips when they chew UGHHHH...
Don't even get me started on people that chew gum - which I am totally not against - and then rather thanputting the gum into the bin, they stick it under the table top or the nearest shelf... That's not just rude, that's a DICK MOVE!!!! If I see anyone doing that, they are playing with fire...

Mushroom Harvest Starts, The Celebration Begins!

My working week is finaly done and it's the weekend, so I'm going to let my hair down and have alovely, relaxing party - Pyjama's and Relaxing Time YAY! - there hasn't been much time for that this week and I truly need a rest at the moment. I don't know why, I'm exhausted... It must be the time of year as the season is beginning to change... 
I get home and I'm about to head inside and relax when the fairy senses inside me started tingling... There was something going on in the fairy grove and I had to go check... 

When I got to the fairy glade, having morphed from standard boring human to something a little more magical, I stumbled upon a different kind of party. Not the relaxing pyjama party I'd been hoping for, but a Mushroom Buddies - a new release from Pitaya for The Fifty - have been picking Orchand mushrooms to get ready for the Autumn feasts and hibernation preparation... Now I KNOW I wasn't keen on the idea of having to do anything more than relax BUT I can't turn down this kinda party, they have tea and CAKE!!!

The Walk of Shame

Yesterday was my 19th Second Life Rez Day and that meant that she has now enterd the final year of her SL teens... That's a big scary thought... I've been in SL for nearly 2 decades... WHAT THE HECK where did time go???
Of course, being the typical teenager that she is, it was definitely a good reason to go out for a little party!!!

Now that a new day has begun, and in my neck of the woods almost finished, Rudh willbe suffering the consequences of her fun time out partying... When you get old it always seems to feel harder after a drink or two. Maybe that's just me but I aways end up feeling yucky the next morning, and hangovers definitely last a week or more LOL...
She made the walk of shame home this morning... The lights were just coming on in the houses as people were waking up to start their days... She´d decided that the hair of the dog was a good idea, carrying home with her a Wine Box of Pink Moscato - which is an Anthology release from Junk Food - that may or may not be leaking over her shoes... Just gotta hpe she can get home before HellBone wakes up...

Who let the Cats in?

Being an Assistant manager SUCKS... While my boss is on vacation I've been drafted in to cover her role, and I'm working my butt off... So much so that I'm working ALL WEEKEND this week... I don't want to be working, I want to be doing the fun things like reading, taking pictures in SL or napping... A nap would be fantastic, but there is no rest for the wicked, and apparently I'm wicked... I will find a way to relax, even if I have to lock myself in a dark room and work on my pictures...  

Not sure if being in a dark room - which is a backdrop from blaink by the way - when all I want to do is nap, but maybe the smell of the chemicals will help me stay awake... OR Maybe they will knock me out?! I will have to make sure that I put my cameras down before I fall down and snooze... I've always got a camera with me in RL - something like the ones from Synnergy.Tavis which are a posed holdable - but never have I ever been in a dark room... 
I was enjoying myself and minding my own business, but my stomach was starting to grumble a little bit and as if by magic, HellBone appeared with a snack... Hoding the snack in his hand, as he opened the door, I didn't manage to get the "NOOOOOO" out before my cats all dashed into the room and started causing chaos... They don't even take time to Paws and Reflect - which is the gacha collection from Aardvark in which you can find all these kitties... Chaos ensues...

Packed and Ready to Go!!!

OK it's here, today will be the last post I make before I say farewell and get overly excited... Tomorrow is the day that I leave the Netherlands and head back to the UK, and as you may have already guessed I'm more than a little excited about the prospect... I'm packed and ready to go, everything is ready and waiting and it's just ONE MORE SLEEP!!! 

I mean I will be heading to the UK but I'm definitely going to be a passenger princess... HellBone drives, and I sit... The ferry captain and his crew drive, and I sleep in a comfy bed with my own private toilet in a cabin onboard... Then HellBone drives across the UK to my Mummy and Daddy's while I sit... 
I've made sure that everything is packed, I'm wearing something comfy - which happens to be the miss chelsea Mina Set that is available now until August 6th at Equal10 - I've got the passports AND I've packed a Summer Picnic Basket - from Junk Food - with lots of snacks... I CANNOT WAIT!!!

Gittering at the Roller Disco

I need some happy, I want to let my hair down and dance, and although all I'm listening to at the moment seems to be Black Sabbath, I feel like it brings me to tears every now and again... 
I might have to switch it up and listen to something a bit more cheesy pop as I head into my last day of work... Tomorrow I have one more work shift then I am on holiday for a couple of weeks YAY... 

I feel like I want to go back into my past and one of those crazy fun Saturday nights that we used to go to at the youth rollerskating rink... It was nothing special as they just turned a sports hall into the rink by adding a DJ booth at one end and spent a few hours playing cheesy pop music... 
I feel like that's what I need right now, it's definitely feeling like that wil help me get through the next few days before I go home...

Summer Beach Work

I work in retail in RL, I'm sure you may have seen me say that once or twice... I'm currently watching a British TV series called "Death in Paradise" and I think that at the moment these things are coming together in my mind so that I ended up on a paradise beach selling fruits... It sounds like a perfect place to be right now... 

Death in Paradise is set in the Caribbean, filmed in Guadaloupe although the island in the stories is imaginary... 
Now if I was relaxed enough to be chilling on the beach, playing or perhaps just making noise on my Ukulele - a release from Junk Food, available until July 17th at Anthology - I don't think I'd be looking as comfortable as I am... Sitting around at my Seabreeze Fruit Shack - a release from Dust Bunny for this year's Summerfest event - I think I'm likely to be more than a little sunburnt!!!

I ain't afraid of no Ghosts...

So yesterday I was thinking a lot about Wonderland, I cannot tell you really what sparked that thought pattern but last night to distract the hubby we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and tonight it's movie night again... I'm not that much of movie buff - Lord of the Rings excluded, I could talk about that all day - but there are times when the right movie can be a good thing... They set the mood, they like my blog can take me away to another place and they bring stories to life that many may never think of... 
Now I'm going to show my age here, I'm a child of the 80s and proud of it, but do you remember when 3D movies first became a thing?! It was an insane experience... 

The first time I saw a 3D movie it was a shock... I think the first time I saw a 3D movie was the Muppets 3d in Disneyland, and I can honestly say as much as the film was fun it set my motion sickness off something terrible and I was more than a little put off from seeing things in 3D again... 
It was crazy to me how a movie brought someone's imagination to life in moving pictures but also that those moving pictures could leave a screen and be right up in your face like they could touch you... It was a bizarre feeling, one that still makes me surprised to this day... Even though now days it's less abnormal andif you try and tell youngans about it they look at you iek you have two heads, with stories of different coloured glasses!!! 
Anyway it's movie time... HellBone plans to scare me a little with a few Ghostbusters...

A lot more Pride, a lot less Prejudice!

Love is love and that's all that matters, or at least it should be... With everything going on in the world right now, from wars that are on going or scarily close to starting, and wannabe kings holding parades that resemble celebrations held for monarchs of distant lands, and even closer to home with people striking for more money and causing masses of chaos for everyone else... It feels so much more important to celebrate love for those who have always faced stigmatism, because we should all be allowed to love, and it might make the world a better place... 

Pride in Amsterdam comes a little later in the year but right now other places are celebrating Pride... I'm always willing to celebrate love, and I KNOW that it's easier said than some people agree to but I want to send huge hugs to everyone... I guess these days I'd consider myself an Ally more than any other letter in the LGBTQ+ range, testing the water at university and my early 20s doesn't really count but I do firmly believe that love is love. It shouldn't be up to any one person to say who another can or cannot love - unless there is a lack of consent or confusion from an involved party and illegal things are happening of course... Like the sign says, I can't believe we're still protesting this shit... It's 2025, let people be who they want, let people live as they want... 
Pride at Home is happening, as are many other Pride events, right now and I want to take a moment to reach out. The world needs more Pride, less Prejudice, I mean isn't there enough crazy shit going on in the world that people also want to control who others love too?!

Calm in the Battleground Camp

I've been on cloud nine today, HellBone decided to cave in and bought himself and I new computers. It was something we needed to purchase so that we could keep up with the Second Life changes...It's like logging in on a machine that took me into another universe altogether... 
The warzone in my mind between the amount of money that it cost, became a losing battle to the way that the upgrade DEFINITELY seemed so needed... 

The ghosts and zombies of my old PC set-up stil linger in the back of my mind as I spend my time learning how to use the super fast monster machine that I have now... I'm just dealing with making it pretty, letting the hubby install all the right things and hoping that it will last me a LONG time now... I'm learning to use my new friend in the midst of the battle of my old one being sent to PC part heaven... I mean it's not hard, I'm mostly sitting back, to let the aftermath go on around me...

Do you like Scary Movies?

On days off I tend to love reading and taking pretty pictures in SL, I'm sure you've guessed all that by now, but my hubby is definitely MUCH more of a movie freak... I am not particularly a movie watcher. I have my firm favourites, I will get lost in my mind any time I watch the LOTR and Princess Diaries is my go-to make me feel better kind of movie... HellBone loves all different kinds of movies, Horror being his go-to... 

Watching movies these days is NOTHING like it used to be when I was in my teens or even early 20s. When I was a kid or even a teen, I remember nights when Mum and Dad said we could rent a video to watch from the local video shop. We didn't have a Blockbuster, but there was a local family owned video shop - a bit like the backdrop from blaink - but by the time DVDs were becoming a thing, the shop was beginning to close it's doors... 
I am NOT  a scary movie fan though, HellBone loves them and likes to terrorise me, making me watch them sometimes... Last time I jumped so much during a scary scene that I spilled my drink and dropped my dinner... Rudh got so scared in the video store today that she threw one of the slices of pizza that she'd stolen from the clerk on the desk...

Have A Nice Day...

Finally I've had a day off, and it seems like it was a blink and I missed it situation. There was drama that my hubby has now taken over sorting out, and all I seemed to do was laundry. I didn't even get a chance to finish my book like I had planned to... I just need more of a break... I need more time to relax... I need a break! 

I LOVE my job, sometimes we get to meet the nicest people and have fun doing so. The company I work for is brilliant and we're all treated like a member of the family in a family business... Then there are the customers that make me really question people and their way of living... Sometimes I wonder if Corona actually happened, or did I imagine it considering the way that people eat the samples I've set out. There is definitely a lack of manners and respect in some people, that's not restricted to age, sex, race or culture. There are horrible people from everywhere you can imagine... 
The worst part of all of this, is I have to be polite and welcoming and wish them a pleasant day rather than being able to wish them the kind of day they deserve... Since I've been such a good girl, not thinking of ways to murder everyone I think I deserve a bit of a break...

Let's make today F*cking Perfect!

I have had the day off today and it's been lovely... I had planned to get a few things done but that was NEVER going to happen considering the mood that I was in. I have been in a bit of a meh place when it comes to blogging lately, I am and may still be in a bit of a rut for a while, but for some reason I just cannot get myself into the game... I'm sorry for that... I am trying, and will keep trying, and today I had to force myself to get into the right mind set... 

I decided to get myself into some blogging and try to pass the blogging rut... I had on an outfit that made me feel a Marie Antoinette gone modern, Pink Ladyish Barbie... I have been living in this outfit and felt that it NEEDED to be shared and it could definitely help me make the cogs start moving... 
The outfit started because of the top from the Elyn Set - from miss chelsea - with a few perfectly placed accessories and some tight black pants... It was a great start, and I decided that another great start would need something to sustain me I went onto the terrace at the Delmonte Villas - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - where I helped myself to a Fucking Perfect Small Cup of Coffee - which was released by Boutique #187 at Astrophe - lit a cigarette and then played the game of what jam would I have on my fresh croissant... What Jam flavour would you choose?!

Escape or Pancakes?!

Ever get that feeling that you want to take a picture that's totally random, makes people look at it and think what's the story behind that then?! It's one of the things I love about my ramble space, I tend not to do the same thing every time and it makes me feel happy that I can go off at a random tangent any time I feel like it... 
Today is a space adventure kinda day, the sparkle diva has to get the item back to her ship and to her home planet... 

She was running through the corridors of the BlingerHall Space Station - a backdrop from BISON - having acquired the only remaining vile of T-Virus planning to take it back to be analysed at by the scientists on her home planet... As she rounded the corner, one of the Aardvark Breakfast Bots was coming through the door, the alarm signal he gave off alerting in the Tiny Tech Bots. The Bag of Squirms - from Tardfish - that she'd brought with her as a support didn't really do much besides pay with her wings and hair, but it was comforting to know someone was there and may be trapped with her... HOW WILL THEY GET AWAY?!

A Spot of Gardening

It's Good Friday, a lot of people are having a long weekend and therefore they are home from work or even on vacations... This means that the number of people in Amsterdam has swelled and we were BUSY AS ALL HECK today, I'm kinda dreading tomorrow... I've been messaging my parents today on and off, and they have been busy in the garden, I wish I'd been able to do that... I'd have loved to have been in the garden today...

I am NOT a gardener, though I have been loving working on the garden HellBone has built for me in Second Life... I am addicted to our home sim, and it's somewhere I'm still working on decorating things - I'll never be like some of the AMAZING landscapers in Second Life - but it's my perfect little contryside, Hobbitty home... 
We have Hell's greenhouse full of beautiful Cacti, our beach cove, and the adorable little market. There is a farmyard filled with cows, goats, sheep and chickens, although the Silkie Chickens - from Aardvark, available until May 8th at ACCESS - are still settling into their new home. I've also been working on the vegetable garden, I had to start before the goats get loose, I mean it is the time of year for a spot of Spring Gardening...

She was a Skater Girl...

Some days I love to be wild and creative, coming up with something from a fantasy that comes to life and sparkles from the screen... Others I feel a little more subdued and want to just try to play around with creating an outfit that makes me happy... It doesn't always have to be super creative for it to look good, and a simple look-of-the-day kinda picture is another way for me to step outta my comfort zone... 

I LOVE playing around with clothes and often find myself creating an outfit that I LOVE but never share in a blog post since I use them more as a basic every day outfit. I'll go out in public in it, but then for some reason even though I LOVE it, I never show it off on my blog... 
Today's look is no exception, I've been wearing this as my day-to-day look for about 2 weeks now LOL... It started with a release called Emme - from miss chelsea at the still running round of Equal10 - which includes the top and lace overtop, jeans and trainers. As soon as I pulled it on, it was like going back to my teens in the 2000s and that's why I've ended up at the skate park. I used to hang out in the skate park and watch the skaterboys...

Sunshine To Defrost In!

Last night I broke free and today I had a wonderful day off... The sun was shining all day and I found myself wanting to curl up in a sunny spot and read a book... I wasn't able to do that, since I have been working so much I had to catch up on the housework... Any moment I had spare, I found myself resting in any sunny spot I came across, I was taking my time to defrost...

I am NOT a Summer girl, I HATE it when it's too hot but the Spring sunshine always feels like it's revitalising.

The Monsters are HUNGRY

I am going to have to rant a bit now, perhaps you may think "well Rudh I'm just not here for this" and if that's the case then I'm sorry and it's fine, there are no hard feelings but sometimes you just need to vent and I think my hubby is sick of being vented at... It's a kinda RL rant, with a Second Life illustration to describe what I'm feeling... If you're intrigued... Read on and please let me know your thoughts lol... 

You may well know by now that I work in a Cheese Store. Our public tends to be mostly tourists from international locations, ages vary but there seems to be one or two things in common that make me think "what the ever loving feck?" It's like people turn their brains off when they come into the store and I'm left to run around like a headless chicken to sort things out. The worst habits come out of people when there are 'free samples' on offer... It's like a monster waiting to strike when they see you putting out fresh offerings. I used to say it was like sharks cirling food but I think it's actually closer to a Phirana attack.. Also, it's as if Covid NEVER happened. People push the tongs to the side and use their dirty fingers which have been in their mouths and when you ask them to use the tongs provided they either look at you like you're being rude or put the tongs in their mouth and put them back on the plate!!! I WILL NEVER TOUCH FREE SAMPLES AGAIN!!! 
Any time there is free food though, it's like the monsters are ready to attack...

When he comes home early...

I've been reading a lot in the last year, and it's something that I plan on continuting as it gives my mind a chance to stop thinking about the real things it has to focus on and starts letting my mind wander to places that are not mine to actually live in... 
I've always loved to read but my tastes in reading material have DEFINITELY changed as I've matured. Though I guess a lot about me has definitely changed since I was a teenager...

When I was a teenager I LOVED a fantasy, perhaps with a little romantic twist and although I was NEVER a Twilight or Harry Potter fan, I loved Lord of the Rings and was obsessed with the Twisted Disney series. I've also had a penchant for historical romances and even read  Stephen King or two in the past... BUT NOW... I'm the kind of girl that likes Smut... The darker the better. Give me a dark twisted stalker, maybe one in a mask, and with a penchant for touch-her-and-die vibes, if he's older that's better lol... I'm a girl with a dark stalker, mask wearing, Daddy kink apparently lol... 
I've just finished reading about  guy that has some fun with his babysitter... It's basically porn but without the moving pictures... So today I felt like adding a bit of a tease of a picture... The babysitter sitting around at the home of the kids she's sitting, surrounded by the clutter of the kids she's watching... Pulling her own little pink heart toy - a Love Dildo from Krescendo - out of her bag, as the naughty book she was reading started to get good. She didn't hear the door slowly open, she didn't see the father of the children standing there watching her until it was too hard to hide what she was upto or what he was hiding in his pants...

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...
