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?

Are the Finger Sandwiches Right?!

The Engine Room opened yesterday and that has meant that once again, Second Life is full of the weird and wonderful folk... Great, it's just before Halloween and we all need a little more madness and chaos, of the good kind, in our lives right?! 
I'm honestly at the point of being welcome to all that comes to get me, and bring them on I say... I've also been reading some rather interesting monster smut recently, so little old me is going to get into her best and see what a tea invitation will offer to those monsters out there... 

I was feeling a little Pride and Prejudice - in this gorgeous dress and hat set from toksik at this round of Engine Room, available until October 20th - but since I have monster smut on my mind, I was hoping that getting all dolled up, and welcoming some of the Engine Room's monsters for a spot of tea there might be a little fun chaos to be had... I've even made sure that the Sossego Veranda - a backdrop from FOXCITY, that has been released for this month's Collabor88 - is in shade, as the evening takes the daylight AND that there is a pot of Curious "tea" as well as the regular kind... I just wonder if I put out the right kind of finger sandwiches?!

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?!

Mushroom Carvings!

I've had a terrible night's sleep, I've learned more about things in my RL than I EVER really needed to know in the last 12 hours, and I am not in a good mental place, SO what do I do when my brain goes to jelly? You should know the drill by now, when I feel myself breaking, I slip into a fantasy world where nothing matters and everything is prettiful! It's truly my best way to turn off... 

Since it's supposedly Autumn and that means the colours should slowly be going from green to red, I feel it's allowed to start being a little more Autumn, and you know me I LOVE a good fairy moment when the seasons change. 
Today I was out on a mushroom picking trip, I REALLY dislike eating mushrooms... I dunno there is just something about the texture! Yes I also know that you're not supposed to eat the red ones LOL... Though there are a few people I wouldn't mind feeding them to at the moment... 
The fae were a little shocked when we were sneaking peeks at other people's harvests though... Someone was REALLY prepping the mushroom harvest for Halloween...

Sunscreen Piggies Against Sunburn!

It's been a difficult year this year, I'm sure you've noticed that by now but then again I feel like it's gone so quick that we've blinked and missed a large chunk of the year... I'm glad for me the Summer months were a bit of a blur, I hate Summer lol but I do feel like I missed out on the Summer fun this year too... So I decided it was time to take myself off on an end of season break, avoid the crowds and HOPE that it wasn't TOO hot... 

Now there are some Brits out there that are sun lovers, sun worshippers if you will... Then there's the kind you see in comedy sketches, that only have to talk about the sun before they get sunburned... That's ME, I'm one of that type... I'm a natural redhead in RL, although now I'm older it's much more chestnut and going grey in places... Yet, like I said, I only have to think about the sunshine and I start to get a burn... When I'm back somewhere dark and cold, I don't stay tanned, I go white again!! 
SO, I am an advocate of ALWAYS WEARING SUNSCREEN... Rudh went off on a little holiday and didn't put any on, and look what happened... That's why when she went to the luxury resort in Zamalek - which happens to be a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - I made sure that she took some of the super cute Sunscreen Piggies - from the MishMish Heatwave Piggies collection - with her!

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... She packed a can of Repellent Spray - from Boutique #187 that was released for Ouh Lala a while ago and should now be at the mainstore - to ward off the likes of the slightly mad Cheshire Cat...

Witchwood Garden Magic

As I mentioned yesterday, the preparations are slowly getting underway for the spooky season... There is so much to do, but now that the ghosts have been persuaded to come visit, it's time to work on decorations of another kind... I have to go web collecting, mushroom picking, pumpkin trumping, OH and even need to find all those fabbity fab costumes for the season... First though I'm going to pop into my witchy, magical green house and work on a few spells to make some pretty plants grow... 

My greenhouse just happens to be located in the Witchwood Gardens - which are in fact a gacha collection from Krescendo for the current round of The Arcade until September 30th - and because these gardens are thrumming with magic, it makes the plants grew beautifully in barely any time at all... I mean... Just look at these adorable little Halloween Succulants - another gacha collection from Tardfish, that is also available at the Arcade - I only planted them this morning and they are HUGE already!!! 
I decided not only to give out candy this year... Some people don't like candy and would maybe prefer a plant gift... There might be other surprises to come too LOL... Don't worry the candy won't go to waste though, I'm adding a piece of taffy to each little pot, just to make them extra sweet little plants!

Mini Potted Plants & Display: Tardfish - Halloween Succulant Gacha Collection (Available until September 30th at The Arcade)
