When I’m back on on my feet again

When Im back on my feet 010

Gonna break from these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I’ll do it
When I’m back on my feet again
Soon these tears will all be dryin’
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
Bull I’ll see it
When I’m back on my feet again

Part of the lyrics from “When I’m Back on My Feet Again.”

Days of yesterday

Days of Yesterday 005

It’s definitely summer here in my real world living in Florida.  The temperature is registering at 94°F even though it feels more like beyond 100°F, especially with humidity being at about 44% and relatively no wind to help.  If you’re experiencing the same summer heat here in Second Life, then BoOgErS is here to help with these cute playful summer stuff for the kids out now at Summerfest ’15.  The pool has some cute animations like the two shown here, of floating and doing the happy dance.

I remember these pools when I was a kid and we used a regular yawn sprinkler with the water hose to have the most amazing fun. Those were some good ole days. BoOgErS has also just introduced their first outfit, which part of it is the drawstring shorts in black with stars.  The rest of the outfit is a hoodie and you can find these in a couple of variations at Shiny Shabby.

Shoes 013

The 21Shoe Event begins tomorrow!  I wanted to show you another pair of shoes before then.  I’m wearing the Malibu floral pink shoes that are from Essenz and made to fit with the Slink or Maitreya high feet.  The second pair is in a floral green and both are exclusive, so you don’t want to miss.

Happy shopping!

Jian 021-1

The tent, bed mats, fire and log are Jian’s latest creation for The Fantasy Collective.  The tent and beds are texture change to fit your color taste and you also get several options with the fire and beds and log come with a handful of animations.  The perfect set for your role-play needs.

The weekend is going by too fast for me, even though it’s a long one since tomorrow is memorial day and a holiday. It’s also the anniversary of my dad’s passing so this time also lends itself to feeling a little somber. Combine that with the recent events happening in my life it’s surely not put me in the most communicative mood lately, hence my posts without much to say other than posting credits.

I was in the middle of setting up this scene when a friend messaged me asking me what I was up to.  We live on the same sim and yet rarely get to catch up since she’s in Europe and on usually when I’m at work and she’s asleep when I’m on at night.  So it’s always nice to catch up with each other when we are online at the same time.  She is also a great sport as I had her out of her fancy clothes in minutes and into a field jacket matching mine, but that was after having a giggle when she kept her high heels on.   You can tell she’s never been camping.

La mirada (the look).

Purple Girl 005

It’s a given that everything that I purchase in Second Life is for my own entertainment regardless whether I blog, wear or even use it for that matter.  I try not to be too spoiled in my purchase endeavors, though without shame admit that I can fall prey to buying things without a second thought to the price if I want it.  I definitely don’t need it.  I confess to inwardly cringing when I see comments on blogs or Flickr about needing this or that even if I know they probably meant it as a want instead.

I didn’t need this lovely purple dress or this shiny hair edition.  Nonetheless, every now and then I will splurge on things that go beyond my usual purchases of stuff that I will use more than once if not more regularly. These items were just fifty lindens for this weeks round of 50L Friday, so I’m even conscious of not overspending too… written with a smug look.

Sorry no credits this post as I am not in-world and the cost for these items were for Friday only.  Though many creators leave it out all weekend, so check out the gallery at Seraphim and you’ll see what I’m wearing.

Rooted.

I tried to forget,
but you grew roots around my rib cage
and sprouted flowers
just below my collarbones.
all day I pluck their petals,
but I have not yet ascertained
whether you love me or not.

A big thanks to Canary Beck, who offered her assistance when I reached out for support through the [SL] Blogger Support chat group to help fix the side bar issue.   The problem turned out to be html errors in a recent post. I did have to redo all the widgets, because I must have deleted the information somehow.  I know for next time!  Thanks again Beck!

This round of the fantasy gacha has a lot of great nice sexy looking creations, which will require showing a lot more skin that I am today.  Though many pieces can be worn with other creative outfits as well.  It’s worth the visit to the event even if you don’t role-play.  Though you might want to wait until it’s not so full.

It can sometimes be amusing to read local chat and during one of my visits, because I have had to go in short stints of time to get through everything due to the slowness of my internet these days.  So during a recent visit this woman remarks that she just might have to join Gor, being there are a lot more sexy male pixels these days in it.  It made me chuckle and as I strolled around I tried paying a little more attention to the male pixels that were roaming around.

I think that I’m in agreement with this woman, at the least the part that there are some very nice put together male avatars.  Thinking on it there is a certain appeal for that whole male warrior who wield their weapons and shield to protect you.   I think… that I need a hero.

Advice from a HORSE
Take life’s hurdles in stride.
Loosen the reins.
Be free spirited.
Keep the burrs from under your saddle.
Carry your friends when they need it.
Keep stable.
Gallop to greatness!

Airing out the d…y laundry.

Snowday Laundry2

Again, just recently two of my pictures were selected for the photo cover of two Flickr groups that I post my pictures in.  The first group was SL Home & Decor and they selected one of my New Year’s Eve pictures in which I blogged product for Aphrodite. The other group was [CIRCA] and they selected my Christmas post on their products I blogged during the holiday.   As of this posting they are still up, though possibly just a click away before being replaced with another photo.
Those are the unexpected little treats that have made my time doing photography in Second Life a nice and worthwhile experience.   Thank you to those groups and for everyone that takes the time to favor one of my pictures on Flickr.  It is always interesting to see the pictures that get the most hits, because it’s usually the ones I spend the least amount of time on or not my own personal favorites.
As an outlet to relax and have fun I just let myself go with the moment.  There are some days I’m just more inspired than other days and a scene gets developed without any planning or thoughts beforehand.  I call it a success if I’m really lucky and my mind isn’t suffering short term memory loss that day and I’m able to recall items that I have in my inventory to be able to use.  Then I can use my Flickr for inventory control.
Sorry, there was no airing out of dirty laundry… that solitary d really stood for daily.
Enjoy your Wednesday! 🙂
