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...

Harvest Treats Time!

I know that Autumn doesn't officially start until September 22nd, but that isn't about to stop me from getting into the Autumn Spirit as it's my favourite time of the year... I LOVE the autumn, and although I'm trying hard to avoid all things pumpkin right now, I'm going to start letting the leaves fall, collecting the conkers that the trees gift us and wrapping myself in lots and lots of snuggly blankets while I cuddle a cup of tea and read a book... 
There are a few tasks that I have to get done this time of year... I started to assist the mushroom folk in their harvest, and today I get to harvest something even more magical... 

Being a magical being has it's perks and that's why the plants in my perfect little magical greenhouse are now ready for the harvest of some very interesting treats... The Sugarfora - from dust bunny at  kustom9 until September 10th - have been growing hard and have some delicious treats for us this year... The hanging Macaron, the Donut Tree and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Bush keep me happy with delicious treats all Winter if I am lucky, I have already got a crop of Iced Pink donuts - in a bucket from Junk Food - and am testing the chocolate chip cookies which I have to tell you are DELICIOUS!!!

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!!!

Gorgon Chained!

You may well know now that I work in a public setting, and there are people that seem to do everything in their power to put you down because you don't have the things they do have. I get that some of the tourists have more material things than others but today those same kinda people basically shoved other people out the way to stuff their face on tasting samples and then complained about the price of the product... I had such a hard time not rolling my eyes, but it brought out a monster in me and although that varies from time to time, the monster of today would be a gorgon LOL... 

I love when my mind takes me to al kinds of different monsterous places, but since I'm watching Wednesday and think that Ajax is the cutest little sweetie so a Gorgon definitely demands my attention... Plus she's the kind of monster that I need when I'm at work sometimes, being able to turn people that look at her hair to stone would definitely help make thing easier when I'm dealing with rude, annoying customers... 
Monsters like her have to be kept chained up for the safety of others, and while she's a little misunderstood, they bound the wrong parts of her... Eyes closed under a blindfold, while her snakes are loose...

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...

Card Magic for a Royal?!

I am currently in a VERY deep rut... I seem to put together an outfit that I LOVE, that I feel happy showing off and being seen in, and then when it comes down to actually taking the picture, I feel like I'm way off and it's not good enough. I don't know if I'm just in an unhappy place right now, or if I'm genuinely just over thinking that my pictures aren't what I want them to be and subconciously comparing them to others again... It's like being a magician that's rubbish at card tricks right now... 

I'd never be a good magician I am far too worried about putting on a good show and I'd end up being ill... I'm terrible at putting on a show, though saying that I put on a show of being happy and confident and smily most of the time and right now that mask has slipped... 
I feel like I'd be lost in my own mind, a Wonderland of sorts and I feel lost... Magic or no magic, I'm feeling lost... One thing I do know is that I can still put a kick ass outfit together, least I won't lose that skill I suppose, but then that's like putting on a mask and I'm very good at that... 
Knowing me, I'd be wandering down a Grand Hall - a backdrop from Paparazzi - heading to do a magic show for the queen and it would all go horribly wrong...

Little Distractions...

Since Mum and Dad left yesterday, I've been feeling sad. I don't know if it's anything worse than I normally feel when they or I leave, but for some reason it DOES feel strange them not being around today... I've had time to relax a little but still not enough to make me feel fully relaxed... I am lucky that I'm off tomorrow, and I plan to get some household chores done before I'm back at work on Tuesday... 
Why am I rambling on about this now, I guess it's just a warning for the totally random picture today. I didn't know what I was doing, and I actually love the way things worked out, but still not sure where this came from lol... 

I am feeling a little off I'm sorry, I WILL be back on it very soon as soon as I've had some good time to rest up and let my mind reset... I'm feeling a little dark and morbid, needing to get away from the bleh thoughts in my mind, so again I'm sorry about that... Give me some time... I know it's because I miss my family, living in the Netherlands as long as I have, that still hasn't changed...

Peach Treats for the Wee Cows!

Well guess who is back again, it's been a VERY busy few days with a visit from my parents but I'm finally back and have SO MUCH to catch up on that I don't really know where to start at all... This visit was mostly for the SAIL Amsterdam event, but entertaining people that are staying in your house definitely feels draining lol... I love my parents, I couldn't ive with them... 
I have a lot of things to catch up on right now... Plants need watering, and there are animals that need caring for on the farm... Let's go do that, it will help to relax me... 

A wander down Farm Lane - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - you'll see the simply gorgeous Highland Cattle - the adults from JIAN - and their even more adorable Wee Highland Cow babies - from Aardvark, available until September 9th at ACCESS - were waiting for me... I just turned the hose off so that the Seasonal Trough water butt - from Simply Shelby, that's an oldie but goodie and still available at the mainstore - was full, and that I'd picked some soft, sweet August Graze Peaches - from Dahlia at Kustom9 until September 10th... Apparently the baby cows LOVE peaches!!!

Sing Your Heart Out!

I hate days that I have to do chores around the house, although tomorrow my parents are coming over for a visit for a few days and I am really looking forward to seeing them. It does mean that I have to get myself motivate myself to get things done... I've put the music on loud and I'll be dancing around as I'm cleaning up, singing along to the cheesy pop blasting from my speakers... 

I love music, I love it live and loud better... I know some people ove Karaoke bars, I've done Karaoke once and I really had fun but I don't think that I'd want to do it again. I remember being dressed as a Rocky Horror character and getting up on stage with some of my roommates to sing the Time Walk! I don't think I'd ever be abe to do it again, and definitely not on my own... I'm far too shy, but Rudh definitely wouldn't let that hold her back... 
She got dressed up for a night out, stepped up on stage and belted out far too many cheesy songs, that the poor guy manning the Karaoke machine was very close to pulling the plug... 
What would be your Karaoke song of choice?

A Puppy Awakening!

I have to admit that even though today has been the first weekend off I have hd in a few weeks and that I had SUCH HUGE plans to get things done, I find myself feeling sluggish. I'm being slow in everything as I've got no desire to do anything that involves moving... I want to read, I want to laze around, I want to sit back and chill but I have so much to do... Someone wake me up, make me some coffee or something?!

I can't pick up my phone today, without being lost to doom scrolling. I can't sit on the sofa without staring off into space. I can't do anything without letting my mind wander to other things and distract me from the main thing I should be focusing on... 
I sat Rudh down to do her make-up, her Ghoufriend Make-Up - from HAUNT available until August 20th at Midnight Order - if you will, and it was all going well, until she suddenly woke up at the arrival of the cute-looking but somewhat evilly divalicious Pawradise Pups - from Aardvark, and yes they are cute I'm just being silly calling them evil, at Collabor88 until September 7th - arrival... Their arrival means that the Demons are Coming... I better hurry up and get ready...

Oops! I Think I'm in BIG TROUBLE!

Ever have those days when you feel like your brain stops working?! I don't mean in the medical sense either, I'm talking like you cannot remember why you bent down to tie your shoe laces when you are in fact wearing slip-ons, or when you walk into a room and instantly forget what you came in for, or when you're mentally confused because today should be Sunday when it is in fact Friday... That kind of brain fart... I am getting those a lot lately, and someone told me I might be Peri-Menopausal, but I wish this brain fog would clear... 

It's as I was getting overly excited about my new outfit that I'd found at the Midnight Order, a Starla set - from Web Dew - decorated with Suns, Moons and Stars, things that have always made me feel special, and was making me feel remarkly happy that I wondered if I had been forgetting something... I mean I'd decked myself out with some gorgeous accessories, and even remembered to tuck my familiar little burdy into my Burdy Hat - which is a release from Tardfish for The Vault - but it wasn't until I was dancing through the Enchanted Book Hall - which is an older but still gorgeous release from everfaery - that I spotted something with a note attached... OH CRAP... In the bird cage, the Forgotten Birdcage - from CABALPIER - if you will, I think I'm in BIG TROUBLE...

The Heat Loving Fire Fae!

It is SUPER fecking hot again here at the moment... I don't know what happened but my guess is that someone, somewhere left the frikking oven open so all of the heat can seep out and warm us all up LOL... SOMEONE CLOSE THE OVEN DOOR! 
There are certain things that seem to enjoy the heat though, the little fire fae are definitely living proof of that... 

These firey fae are a bit of a Revelation - which is actually a backdrop from FOXCITY - they are members of the Nopperabo - a head and skin set from BeSpoke - tribe, that are faceless and hide their emotions behind their Cupid's Malice - a mask that is also from BeSpoke, at Kawaii Secrets - each has it's own passion, and today's little friend just happens to be obsessed with all things HOT...

Pineapples!

I don't very often get cravings for things, I tend to allow myself to always have a little of what I want because if I start craving something and eventually get my hands on things, then I will eat far too much and end up feeling yucky... On hot days like this, I am drinking so much water but I like to eat something salty so that it helps as I'm sweating. I don't tend to go for something sweet...
Fruit is delicious but I get picky and go through phases of what I want... There is a fruit on my mind at the moment... PINEAPPLE! 

I am not  HUGE pineapple fan, I have to say I don't love it, and it certainly doesn't belong on pizza, but when it's hot and summery, there is just something about Pineapple that makes me want lots of it... 
Rings, Sticks, Crushed into icy drinks or pulped into Ice Cream... Everything is going to be so delicious... The smell of the delicious pineapple is even luring in the little pineapple fae... Aren't they cute?!

Showtime for the Clowns

I had a day off today, and it was MUCHLY needed because I've been working all weekend. I am tired and sore and grumpy, and the weather is taking a VERY hot turn this week I AM NOT AMUSED... We don't have long until it reaches the brrr months, so why is it getting so hot... Stupid weather... 
I NEEDED something to distract me, I've been clowning around at work dealing with clowns and so today I want to do something totally different... 
Instead I ended up getting more than a little excited about Halloween, and well... Clowning around... 

Feeling like being a cute little clown because who doesn't love being a clown around Halloween... I don't really like clowns but I don't think I'll ever get through a Halloween season without dressing as one for sure... 
I set up a little tester to see how things would go when I put on a little crazy show... I set up the Hypno Wheels - from Krescendo for FETISH FAIR - and then the camera on a stand, I was a dancing little clown trying to see if I could hypnotize people into giving me all of their candies... I knew my clown outfit was a little sexier than planned but I cobbled it together without much planning... It was amazing that things matched so well... Almost like the Avril Arm and Leg Warmers - sold separately from PSYCHO.Byts - were made to wear with the striped colour pattern of the Ways Bra and Shorts set - from AsteroidBox, available at August 12th at ACCESS - and I LOVE THE WAY THEY LOOK... I think I'll be dressing like this for a while longer, Halloween is coming, and I deserve to be aowed to start prepping for it..

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...

Sailing Away!

There is an event coming up in Amsterdam that I amkinda excited about, even though to some people it might seem a little lame LOL. It happens once every 5 years, although the last one didn't get to happen because of Covid.This year looks like it will be bigger and better than ever before because it's the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam... The event is called SAIL, you can find out all about it on the event's website, but I am going to start already and get into some practice NOW... 

I will admit that I'm NOT very good on a boat, I tend to get a little seasick and worry about sharks, thanks to a giant rubber shark at a theme park when I was a teen. One day I will get past it, and complete the bucket list goal that says that I will end up in s shark cage... Iwanna go diving with the sharks... 
So for now I plan on hanging around on the boat, waiting for some good looking sailor to come and help a girl out on her boat LOL... I'll put together a cute outfit, grab a been from the cooler and wait...

Magical Sparkles at Midnight

It makes me laugh that you can tell the kind of day I've had when you look at my pictures... Today you can tell I've had a relaxing day off. My pictures are sparkling and magical, and I've let that Midnight Orderly magic power from my fingertips in my outfit creation and it's pink and sparkly and magical... It makes me happy... 

There is nothing better than letting the magic takeover, I LOVE when the magic of the Midnight Order becomes a picture like the one I made today... The fact that there is so much PINK involved was not planned, as we all know that pink is the root of all evil but evil and magic can be two of my favourite things...

A day off, but I'm still kinda on tender hooks as I worry about will work things be ok while I'm not at work LOL... I'm nervous, but I have to get myself past this and let my mind relax properly... 
I've had to distract myself with something that some people might say is a little naughty... Some might even say that this is a LOT naughty... I always feel like I'm not good at blogging the naughty, but then again I tend to over think things when I should let them go... Maybe put myself into the hands of someone better suited to letting me feel stronger... 

I've put myself out with the trash and you're welcome to come find me in the alley and have me collected from the box... I am free to a good owner - the Sub Box is available now from The Warehouse Sale by Violetility - just come get me... I'll warn you, she's a little Feral...

Time for a little Dark Magic!

I need a little magic after the events of yesterday, and I'm really sorry but I really hope that the driver of the truck who decided to drive fast through a puddle and therefore soaked me for my whole day at work got caught in traffic with a case of explosive butt pee... There is very little chance that the magic I am channelling will be for good... It's like to be some kind of twisted, dark necromancer magic...  

Luckily in Second Life we are still experincing the magical effects of the Midnight Order. This event will be reaching it's halfway peak over the next few days and there will be plenty more chaos to make those that want the dark magic, able to find it... 
Take it from Rudh, a witness account if you will, one moment she was confessing her sin regarding the explosive butt pee in the Corrupted Churches' Confessional - which is a Midnight Order release from LORE by the way - and the next the magic was swirling as she becomes an Infernal Undead Lady Mortis awaiting her orders by the Necromancer's Necrohex Table - from BROKEN ARROWS also at Midnight Order!

Birdies on the Boardwalk!

They often say things manifest in threes... Good or bad, there is always a possibilty that when you have something bad happen, if a second bad thing occurs you may start being more cautious as you wait for the third thing... At least I do anyway, and I'm really hoping that the same goes for when you're seeing good things happen... I'v had two good things, I hope that it's true and a third thing happens to me soon... 
Today was the second day of seeing good things happen... Let's take a walk on the boardwalk by the beach and I'll tell you all about it... 

The boardwalk seems a little deserted today, though there was definitely a party last night if the mess is anything to go by... Either that or it's the GIANT Gulls that are having a party of their own - they are part of the Don't Feed Gulls Gacha collection by Aardvark at the Arcade until August 17th - but I guess that was bound to happen with so much food waste left around the place... They look like a happy, healthy bunch, but I'd avoid the the one near the bench that's trying to break into a bottle of Slorona - which is comes from Junk Food - he has a knife and well, that's gotta be dangerous... 
Onto the two good things though, since that's what you're really curious about... While on vacation I put 3 plushies up for sale on eBay - mum sells things she buys at carboots that way so she really did the selling I just provided the items - and made ten times what I paid for them! Then today, the second good thing happened, I was accepted back as a blogger for a store I missed working with SO MUCH... I am now a blogger for Aardvark once more... SO... Two good things, I wonder if or what a third thing could be?! 

What is in the picture;
Birds: Aardvark - Don't Feed the Gulls Gacha Items (Available until August 17th at The Arcade)
Beer: Junk Food - Slorona Beer Carton
Spilt Food: Tentacio - Tragic Food in Fatpack & Half-Deer - Fast Food Clutter
Pizza Slice: Junk Food - Head Pizza in Supreme
Bin: DRD - San Mora in City Trash Can
Benches: MadPea - City Streets Decor in Bench

Amsterdamse Pride!

After three long days back at work, I am finally home and have a day off tomorrow... Amsterdam is BUSY this week... It's not tulip season busy but it's busy and that's because of the fact that this weekend is Amsterdamse Pride weekend. 
Amsterdam is a city that is proud of hosting the Pride events, they run all week and finish on Saturday with a boat parade through the canals!  

This, of course, means the city is rainbowfied... It has brought in some of the most friendly, most fun and most vibrant types of people. I honestly LOVE this week in the city, people that come for Pride seem much happier than those that come any other time of the year. Of course, there are always exceptions, but generally, it's a lot more fun working in retail tourism right now... Does help that I'm close to the Pride epicenter, if you're wanting gay clubs and bars in Amsterdam it's well known that you gotta go to the Regulierdwarsstraat! 
So on my day off tomorrow, I'm going to go out into the city and help paint the town in rainbow stripes, meet some lovely people and give out a few hugs to those that need an ally in their life... Happy Amsterdam Pride everyone!

Bubbles are Little Balls of Magic!

Honestly, sometimes the most random posts seem to be the ones that I LOVE best and maybe it's not a truth but they also seem to be the ones that are least popular with other people... Maybe I'm imagining it... 
I wanted something bright, colourful and something that made me smile... What could possibly have all of those things? BUBBLES seemed to be the answer... 

I felt in a silly fairy kinda mood and bubbles have always felt a little magic to me... So I'm going to be the magical kind that form stars as they float around the bathroom she's playing in... 
She's neon, rainbows and sparkles as her bubbles catch the light... How can anyone not like bubbles?

A Midnight Battle Order

Well, that's it, my holiday is over and now I guess there has to be something to look forwards to but what... I think for now I'm just going to be avoiding the hot weather and wanting to have the Halloween season start... HellBone and I aren't sure if we will be working on something Halloweeny this year but it's still possible even though we have much to do for it and I'm going to be insanely busy while my boss is away... What can I look forward to now?! 

While I've been away in RL, Rudh has been the excited little weirdo that she is because the magic has swept over Second Life since Midnight Order has opened it's doors. I'm a little late for the grand opening this round but there is SO MUCH in the way of pretties coming from the vendors that I hope being late won't be a problem... 
Right now, before I get to live a little more in the Midnight Magic, I'm going to have to prepare myself for going back to work - and I have a hell of a shite shift tomorrow - I'm getting ready for battle... I'm a Gnoll - the Hyena Hybrid from BeSpoke for The Warehouse Sale until August 18th - wearing the Vilkas Outfit - a release from AsteroidBox for the current round of Midnight Order, which runs until August 20th - to represent the magic of Midnight and armed with the Starchild Morningstar - a release from FOE - I THINK I'm ready for battle...
