A Pirate's Life For Me!

Today is the last day of September, and that means a few things... Tomorrow someone needs to wake the lead singer of Green Day. Tomorrow is the start of Spooky Season... That means there could be a lot more dressing up, a lot more blood and scares, a lot more dark and evilness to come... 
Making a start of that today... Today we're heading out on a little adventure, we're going for a sale on the High Seas. We're going to search for the mythical Tortuga and see if there is a chance to meet the great Davy Jones and his voodoo bride... 

I used to dream about being a pirate and going on adventures when I was a kid, I wasn't interested in the fighting and the violence but I was excited to sing sea shanties and dream about a life sailing the seas watching the dolphins swim past. Perhaps it had something to do with my excitement about mermaids... Then I saw Jack Sparrow for the first time and thought "I WANT ONE"... 
Now I'm setting off on my own adventure... Accompanied by my pet Macaw - from SEmotion Libellune - that I've given the name Polly, yes I know it's a very common pirate parrot name, and the Shrunken Head of my stupid Ex - which is actually an awesome new release from Boutique #187 at the Saturday Sale Party Extravaganza until October 20th... 
I'm dressed as an Alluring Pirate captain - thanks to an outfit from MDN at the round of Engine Room - and I'm ready, I'm off to sail the Sands of Time - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - it's now the Pirate's Life for Me!

Seasonal Delicacies Prep!!!

My trip to the pumpkin patch yesterday was so much fun... I had such a lovely day collecting the pumpkins and playing with the puppies and eating one or two candy apples... Since it was my lazy Sunday and since I'd picked up a few things at the Pumpkin Farm, and as Tuesday is the start of Halloween season, I decided to take today to carve some 'kins and make a few more delicious Candy Apple treats... 

My kitchen work tops became Autumn treat central this afternoon as I spent a good few hours plotting and then carving one of my first pumpkins for the season. 
After that, and due to the fact that I'd developed a rekindled love for them, I popped out to MOVEMENT to grab myself a slow cooker that was perfect for melting caramel to make some of my own Candy Apples... 
The kitchen started to smell so nice, and I was so distracted that I didn't notice my kitten had climbed up to take a closer look...

Pumpkins and Apples

It's nearly the end of September. We have just a few more days to slip into the Autumn and all it's goodness before the spooky season begins. I have much to get done, including organisation for the Halloween event, but before I get into all that, I have to make a quick trip to the local pumpkin farm to pick out the perfect, must-have, Fall accessory... 

Autumn and it's seasonal spookies are my favourite time of the year, I love the glittering lights of Christmas but Halloween will always be my favourite of the holidays... 
I pulled on a comfy farm-hand style outfits, I find that dungarees are always good for stomping around in the pumpkin patch... Today though at the Pumpkin Patch, I not only got to choose a few gorgeous pumpkins to decorate my home and garden, but I made some new little Pumpkin Pals - a cute puppy release from Aardvark available until October 8th at ACCESS - AND even found the most delicious Caramel Apples with a crunch and sweetness that made me a very happy girl...

The Magical Seer

My first day back at work after a few days off was total madness... People seem to be gearing up hardcore in their desire for Halloween considering how monstrous some of them were being. Why do people feel it's OK to be a dick to retail staff... Do NOT click at me, ever... 
There seems to be an increased level of craziness in the air... There must be a crazy moon goddess out there wreaking havoc... 

Hidden in the night in the Secrets of the Desert, hides that very strange goddess... She hides the twisted, tortured painful skin beneath an even more twisted Observer - a created by CRYPTID for The Engine Room - Mask, held on by the Judgement Gorget - from Stelio, also at The Engine Room - to keep things hidden...

Backstage with the Band

I am a child born in the 80s, and raised in the 90s. I was a fan of one of the UK's first - and if I may say so best boybands Take That - and although I was a fan of them I also fell hard for one of the most important grunge boys to ever hit the music scene. My early teenage years would have been NOTHING with Mr Kurt Cobain... On one hand there was Mark Owen, the other was Kurt... I was a cheesy pop, grunge diva kinda girl... I was the kinda girl at school hung out with the skateboarding boys, wearing a hoody and plenty of eyeliner... Listening to the angsty kinda music that drove my Dad bonkers... 

I had a teenage crush on Kurt Cobain for so long and was mortified by his death... I had a jealousy toward Courtney Love, purely because she was his other half, although I LOVED listening to her band Hole... 
Rudh got all excited when she heard that there was a Shotgun Pop-Up event with a Grunge theme... Her and her mates had already decided to try and get a gig with their grunge band, the Free Candy, and rocked up to their first show with an old truck - a truck from Bad Unicorn - loaded with gear... Dressed in an outfit that pays homage to Miss Love's style back in the 90s - thanks to an amazing release from miss chelsea for the Shotgun Pop-Up Event - she's ready to rock out and find her own Nirvana...

A Knight at Castle Dragonstone

Sunday's are a day for magical relaxation, I let my mind wander off to faraway interesting places... Some tend to be real, others more often than not are fantasy places that even my crazy random mind never knows it will discover... Honestly I NEVER know where I will be going for any picture creation... That's why my blog is a Random Rambling adventure... 
Today, we're taking a trip back in time... We took a trip through the Engine Room, where the time portal is hidden back in time... A time when the knights fought dragons and the dragons protected their gold from pesky knights...

Being a princess sounds like a boring job, sitting around all day being pretty... I'd much rather be a knight. I'd rather be charging around on horseback, fighting the dragons, and going on super adventures... Sitting in the castle all day seems boring, give me an adventure like the knights of old... I'd love to join King Arthur and the knights of the round table... 
My noble steed that I've named after the great Knight Galahad and I are heading on our adventure to castle Dragonstone - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - wielding my blade but armed for Malice - in a suit of armour from PFC at the Engine Room until October 20th...

Early Halloween Lunchings

Weekends are normally busy affairs, and I tend to find myself working either Saturday or Sunday. This weekend though because I have been off sick and because there is a local marathon taking place I cant leave my house, so I'm happy at home and planning on making a happy weekend of it for myself...
I'm going to take a few pictures, read some more of the extremely dark smut that I just started and make sure I get something delicious to eat... 

I decided to take the time to test out some interestingly seasonal food recipes... Since we are nearing the Halloween season, and there are so many delicious ideas starting something simple... Spooky Grilled Cheese and a mug of Tomato soup - from Junk Food - is an easy yet delicious way to start off... I might even have a side dish of some pickled eyeballs. I've been pickling them in a refurbished gumball machine, turning it into a Spooky Eyeball Machine - a creation from MadPea at the current round of Equal10 until October 5th - for ease of serving... I've also been told that to make the witches brews of Halloween taste better, it's a good idea to make sure I'm used to the poisons and other ingredients before the big day comes... I've heard adding them to tomato soup can hide the taste...

Plans for the Engine Room

There are so many things to enjoy about this time of year that it's almost enough for me to forget my RL illness issues and focus on things that are much more fun... Shopping events in SL are getting exciting, we have grunge events, halloween goodies are coming and the Engine Room will be opening the doors to welcome in those seeking their steampunkish answers...

Opening of the Engine Room always brings in many interesting people, those people gather together to discuss the newest innoventions and Steampunkish creations, and once the event has gathered all of those peope together, Magic will happen... 
Rudh has been prepping for the opening of the Engine Room for a while, practising her science speak, laying out plans and discussing them with her collection of Cats - like the gorgeous kitties from JIAN - all the while trying to look like a Steampunkish science type...

The Broil is ALIVE!

I've had a pretty shit day today with appointments for the eye doctors and the hygiënist, so I feel like my eyes are sore and I've been punched in the teeth. 
I'm hungry and feel like I need some food, but my face hurts... What do I want to eat? What would make me happy? What do I fancy for my dinner?

There are so many different foods out there... Every culture has their own cuisine, and some have different versions of their own cuisines from other countries. It's common knowledge that a Chicken Tikka Masala is the new national dish of England, and we think of it as an Indian Curry, when it is in fact an Englishized version and definitely not the sort of thing you'd get yourself in India...
I love to explore different sorts of food, and have recently become totally obsessed with Sushi... There is one type of food that I want to get myself a dinner of. I would LOVE to try Seafood Broil - like the one made by dust bunny - as they always look SO delicious when you see the videos online. 
Unfortunately today when I got myself a delicious portion of Seafood Broil, it seemed like some of the crab was not properly cooked... There's a few of those Crabby McStabby - cute little crabs from Aardvark - wild crabs on the warpath as I had broiled their cousins... I was so startled and moved so fast my soda got spilled and now I need to find something else for dinner... 

What is she wearing;
Crabs: Aardvark - Crabby McStabby
Food Decor: dust bunny - Seafood Boil
Drinks: Half-Deer - Fast Food Clutter in Sodas

Bobbing in the Fall

Since the Autumn season seems to be very much upon us in this part of the world, and since people are going a little pumpkin obsessed in SL too, I'm starting to get into the spirit of the season and I LOVE this time of year... There are so many things going on and so much fun to be had, but one of those things that I may need a little more practice in for during the Halloween Season is apple bobbing... 

I love all things Halloween but I have NEVER been very good at Bobbing for Apples. Do people even still do that anymore? Has it all stopped since Covid ruined things? What the heck, this year I will be good and ready, I'm gonna get some practice in before October comes... I've rigged up a game for myself, a full Apple Bobbing Bucket - thanks to MadPea at the current round of ACCESS until October 8th - filled with some delicious red apples.. It's a chill day, I've wrapped up warm in a cute Isla outfit from miss chelsea, and made sure my friendly Autumn Bears were wrapped up Cozy too...

The Fight of Angels

A day off, a chance to relax and let myself drift off into a fantasy word, where the monsters no longer hide in the shadows and the light in me feels strong enough to force itself to fight for it's happiness... I've been deaing with a lot of stress, wishing that things would improve in my family life, my work life and with my health... I'm fighting to get through the pain at the moment and hoping my grandmother keeps fighting... 

Angels fighting the chains that bind them... Chains that control my health - my pain level is high at the moment and I'm suffering due to being  girl! My grandmother has been in the hopsital over a month, she was moved to a recovery center and promptly moved back because she keeps fainting, so the angels are fighting to guide her through this. I've got to deal with issues of problem coleagues at work, and I am desperate to go home for Christmas... May the angels break free frrom these changes and kick some problematic butt... All while looking ethereal and dangerous...

Apples in Autumn

September is technically the start of Autumn, and today it feels like the weather has finally gotten that memo. It's supposed to be cooling down, although the colours of nature are starting to heat up as green changes to orange and red... I love that the air is getting crisper, that the raindrops mix with the falling leaves... I am refusing to think about pumpkins for a few weeks, but I did decide to help out with another amazing Autumn activity... It's harvest time... 

I LOVE a crunchy apple, something red and juicy, or green and crisp, caramelled or dried or pricked straight from the tree...
I'll pick a few apples in the gardens of Second Life - like the backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis... I'll turn some to candy apples, some to scrumpy cider and maybe even use a few to make a pie... Now I'm getting hungry lol... 
It's also the perfect time to start dressing in the warm, snuggly knit wear of Autumn. A large Baggy Sweater, over some figure hugging leather pants - like the Wren Set by miss chelsea, available until September 30th at Anthem - accessorised with a sun hat - like the one that comes with the Lamb hair - and some larger than life Oversized Specs - the one's I've chosen to wear from the new French Touch event, and the designs of Boutique #187 - to keep off the cool, and the sun from my eyes... I love this time of the year, I CANNOT wait to enjoy all that comes with Autumn for the next few months...

Fluffies and Sparklies

I go through days of randomness where I want to do silly things, I want to do dark and deadly things, I want to do futuristic cyborg type things and then there are days like today when I want to be a sparkly fantasy being that's living in a world of brilliance and colours... I love each and every mode of my brain, but for some reason days like this, I feel bright and effervescent... I LOVE taking a walk through the stars... 

I know that I have a random style, you never know what my pictures will be like on any given day and that's why I feel like my blog is a definite form of therapy for me... Doesn't matter what my mood is when I start, doesn't matter what the picture looks like in the outcome, I'll always be feeling a little lighter, a lote more relaxed and will definitely be smiling... 
Today the smiles are bright and colourful, cute and fluffy, magically angellic with a hint of "awww look at that thing"... An angel walking on and through the clouds, talking to the Fuzz Balls - from Sakura - and the Magical Bears - from Tardfish for the current round of Kawaii Secrets - stretching her Ethereal Wings - by Doe, who is at the moment making simply amazing wings that I admit I'm totally addicted to - and letting the light dance under the Fairytale Umbrella - a gorgeous creation from YOKAI...

I Wish I Could Bake Cakes!

I have been working on bettering myself this year...
I've been exercising more and have lost around 25kilos. I'm reading more so that I spend less time looking at a screen, which is helping me with a reduction in headaches and a better feeling about myself, as a way to relaxing and taking my mind off to places that aren't my normal. I'm trying to work on my photography skills, improving my pictures and taking time to try taking pictures of other things, broadening my horizons if you will. Everything is getting better, everything is making me feel better in myself and I'm proud of the changes that I've been making... Now what do I want to do to improve myself?

I'm good with reading, I'm good with taking pictures - and I'm not one of the best but what I do makes me happy anyway - and I LOVE crocheting so much that my blanket is ALMOST ready. I love cooking and make a mean curry, but there is one skill that I am really wanting to improve on is learning how to bake... My mum makes the most amazing fruit cakes, my sister is a champion cookie maker, if I so much as attempt at baking a cake with boxed ingredients I could burn the house down. I LOVE CAKE. I wish I could bake cakes. It would save me so much money if I could bake rather than buy cakes! 
Once I've gotten better skills, I think I could start a business... Baking cakes for willing victims, I mean, customers... A Spooky Cake, boed and ready to be collected - from Junk Food - and a Cheeky Cake with a sexy suggestion that will hopefully get someone lucky - like the cakes from Krescendo, available until September 10th at FaMESHedX - there should be cakes for everyone!!

Wrong Turn!

Having fun at the beach is always fun. I LOVE being on the beach in a storm, I love collecting seashells and sea glass, I love gazing into the distance and watching the waves... My mother could spend HOURS floating around in the sea, I don't like to swim in the sea though because I'm a little on edge about the fishies lol... Some people LOVE being sporty on the beach with running or some extreme watersports. I've even seen places where you can zorb on the water...

While I sat on the beach buried in a book, Rudh decided to try her hand at zorbing, slipping into the Giant Ball - created by MadPea, and available until September 8th at ACCESS - and running around on the waves... 
After a little while all that running made her start to feel tired. She fell in the ball and within minutes she was caught up on the tied, swept away on an adventure, taking a wrong turn on the current she ended up floating further away than anyone would have ever realised... 
Dressed for the beach and not for the snow, it's hard to get the penguins - an older release from Jian that could come in handy soon since the winter is coming fast - to take her seriously... Anyone know how to ask for directions home in penguin?!
