And I'll Make Sure To Keep My Distance

The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling
Call it anything but love 

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say, "I love you," when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting
For you to take me
You keep waiting
To save what we have

So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say, "I love you," when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

Stay

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
I threw my hands in the air I said show me something
He said, if you dare come a little closer

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay

Oh the reason I hold on

Oh 'cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay, stay
I want you to stay....

Me, Myself, and I Meme

I haven't done one of Berry's Memes in a bit and this one seemed easy enough.

I am... misunderstood
I want... happiness for my loved ones
I have... just finished lunch (It was great! <3 Wawa)
I wish... to win the lottery (A girl can dream, right?!)
I hate... liars
I fear... being alone forever
I search... for knowledge (I love learning!)
I wonder... if I've made the right choices in life
I regret... past relationships I've had
I never... will go on an upside down roller coaster (So scared!)

I always... procrastinate
I usually... am happy
I dance... poorly
I sing... loudly in my car
I often... overanalyze people
I sometimes... doubt myself
I cry... when my heart is broken
I need... more sleep! (Work is killing me lately)
I should... be doing charting for work (See I always. Haha!)
I love...my RL daughter, Koty. (Also, I love....easily)

One Sweet Day ~ A Hair Fair Bandana Day Post

Sorry, I've never told you, all I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feelin' and knowing you, hear me
It keeps me alive, alive

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Eventually I'll see you in Heaven 

Hair Fair 2014 is approaching its last 24 hours and as most of you know, the last day of Hair Fair is Bandana Day. Bandana Day is the day that avatars on SL remove their hair to show they care. Since cancer has probably touched us all in some form, I ask you to join me in wearing a bandana to show support to anyone affected by this terrible illness. <3

Lotus

On the day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my mind was straying,
and I knew it not. My basket was empty and the flower remained unheeded.

Only now and again a sadness fell upon me, and I started up from my
dream and felt a sweet trace of a strange fragrance in the south wind.

That vague sweetness made my heart ache with longing and it seemed to
me that is was the eager breath of the summer seeking for its completion.

I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this
perfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart.

Up In the Air

For someone that I used to know......

My Shoetopia 2013 Entry.

 

Gotta keep on, keep on, giving all
Keep on, keep on giving
Till I can’t see my shadow
Only tomorrow
Keep on, keep on, giving all
Keep on, keep on giving
Cause I can’t stop the rain so
Live for tomorrow

And when it seems like, it’s getting too dark
You’re going under, been pushing too hard
Too horrible to bear, just know you’re almost there
I wanna see what you can do when you’re up in the air!

Keep on, keep on, can’t see my shadow
Only tomorrow.....

Thank you Shay for loaning me the prop! <3

Oh My Pumpkin

Hey all! Just a quick LOTD post featuring these adorable pumpkin pose props that Nani Poses has out for the Oh My Gacha event. These pumpkin poses are just one of the cute autumn inspired props that are available for grabs in this gacha for only 40L a play. This set includes two different pumpkin poses with a jack o'lantern or basic pumpkin option. I like both options so I decided to decorate outside of my house with them.

Also, check out my new scarf. It's newness from Sweet Leonard and comes in a variety of colors perfect for accessorizing any outfit. I love the gold leaf pin accent and feel it adds a little something extra to keep the scarf from looking too boring. If you're looking for some cute Autumn accessories, be sure to swing on over to Sweet Leonard because she's always cranking out new goodies.

Bandana Day

Hair Fair is sadly coming to an end and as most of you all know, today is Bandana Day. This day is we remove our hair to honor those who are suffering with cancer right now and wear a bandana. There were tons of beautifully made bandanas to purchase at this wonderful event but this one by Ohmai was so gorgeous that I chose it for my bandana today along with a lot of other people on SL. If you haven't been to this event yet, you still have a few hours. Remember that all sales of the bandanas go towards Wigs for Kids so be sure to run over and get your own bandana and support an awesome charity!

Also, if you haven't heard, Beetlebones has reopened and has a bunch of new goodies in her store. My beautifully done dress is one of these releases and comes in a variety of colors. I love the simpleness to this dress so much and felt like it went perfectly with my bandana so I just had to show it off. I paired it with Filthy's newest release Oceanne which I will show you more of in my next post.

Since we are removing our hair, I thought it was apt to wear the browless version of this skin and ditch my lashes today because as you know chemotherapy isn't selective and cancer patients lose all of the hair on their body, not just the hair on their head. I hope that anyone who is reading this post who may be affected by this tragic illness knows that your spirit shines through in your strength and that makes you beautiful. <3

Make Sure To Build Your Heart Brick By Boring Break

She lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of a world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure, the lens, I told her

The angles are all wrong now

She's ripping wings off of butterflies

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Ba-da ba ba-da ba ba-da

So one day, he found her crying

Coiled up on the dirty ground

Her prince finally came to save her

And the rest she can figure out

But it was a trick

And the clock struck twelve

Well make sure

To build your heart brick by boring brick

Or the wolf's gonna blow it down

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

We'll bury the castle, bury the castle, whoa, whoa

Well you built up a world of magic

Because your real life is tragic

Yeah you built up a world of magic

If it's not real

You can't hold it in your hand

You can't feel it with your heart

And I won't believe it

But if it's true

You can see it with your eyes

Oh, even in the dark

And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel (You'll be better off without me)

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle (ooh), bury the castle

Go get your shovel (You'll be better off without me)

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle (ooh), bury the castle

Just Beyond The Sunset

Just beyond the sunset

Someone waits for me

Just beyond the sunset

Lies my destiny

Where the purple mountains

Lie in deep tranquillity

There I’ll find the treasure

Of love eternally 

Just beyond the sunset

Waits someone so fair

Just beyond the sunset

All alone they wait there

Their hair is golden

The colour of the sand

Their eyes sparkle in the night

Like diamonds in your hand

Just beyond the sunset

Lies a home for me

Where the world is peaceful

Like a paradise should be

Just beyond the sunset

Someday is where you’ll find me

Under Attack

While out exploring yesterday, I came across this gorgeous deserted beach. It was so pristine and the sound of the waves crashing against the shoreline made me think that this could be the perfect hideaway for some calm and peaceful moments this summer. Although the sun was starting to hide behind some puffy clouds, I was feeling a little hot so I decided to dip my feet into the cool surf. I closed my eyes for a second enjoying the serenity of this secret spot when all of a sudden, I felt a jolt of pain shoot up my body. I glanced down to see I was being attacked by a horde of angry crabs! While bending over to free my captured toes from their hungry grasp, more of these little suckers pinched their angry claws onto me. Ahh! The pain was so bad but I managed to shake myself free and move along.

With my fingers and toes still throbbing, I started to wander down the beach when I heard the hostile screech of some seagulls. I turned around to find I was being ganged up on by a flock of vicious birds. Running as fast as I could, I tried to get away from them before they decided to peck my eyes out. Finally realizing that perhaps there was a reason this beach was empty but for the local wildlife, my dream of tranquility was quickly diminished. I guess it's the city life for me from now on!

Weird Question Meme

Hi all! It's time for another little meme brought to you by Berry. This time she's got us answering weird questions about ourselves. Since I like to talk, I just had to participate. If you'd like to participate, you can copy the questions below and answer them on your own and if you want to check out any of Berry's other fun memes, you can do so here.

I'm also using this blog post to show off some items from Summerfest. I fell in love with this playable ukulele that Balaclava has out for the event. It has three songs on it and you can also play duets with other ukulele owners. Summerfest has loads of goodies so be sure to check it out. Now on with the questions and answers!

1. Which was the last sim you visited? (Other than your home) Baja Norte to take this pic

2. Does your avatar look like the real you? Nope but I wish she did! I try to maintain some curves with Kis though because I'm not thin in RL and I feel awkward being so in SL. 

3. Do you wear underwear/panties underneath your clothing when out and about on the grid? Nope, I usually forget and I've been told about it dozens of times! *sticks my tongue out at my besties*

4. If you won a million linden dollars, what would be the first thing you buy inworld? Hmm, probably presents for all my besties. I like giving presents! I'd then pay my land for a year and cash the rest out.

5. Have you ever bought something in SL and then realized afterwards that you had already owned it from before? Nope. I know what I like and have a pretty decent memory so I am able to keep track of what I've purchased.

6. Have you ever done anything in Second Life that would be considered illegal in real life? Yep. I've done everything from escort to breaking and entering to being a public menace to shooting people during urban RP. 

7. If you could go out on a date with any other avatar, who would it be? My heart, Carter. 

8. Who, in your opinion, was the greatest avatar to ever slive?  Myself! Just kidding!! Everyone has an amazing avatar and it's wonderful to see the many ways people in SL represent themselves. 

9. What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done inworld? Hmm sooo many, responded in the wrong window, pasted chat convos to the wrong person, tp'd somewhere naked, logged in on my ex and the girl he was playing at the same time as me cuddling on his couch. SL is full of  embarrassing moments. You just learn to laugh about them. 

10. If your avatar had a mind of its own, what do you think it would say to you? Be happy. SL is supposed to be fun!

Beachcombing

Hey all! OMG! I am super excited! You see, it's like this. When I saw the cutesy ur favorite one overalls at this round of Collabor88, I got this idea to do a beachcombing blog post complete with a bucket full of shells. I thought it would be a totally adorable idea to do as a blog post but I was super emo sad to see that there were no beachcomber pose props around so I started begging people to do a custom job for me. Lucky for me, Nikki Wildmist of Demise of Flight thought the idea sounded fun and whipped them up for me super quick. When I saw the completed project, I was soooo happy because they are just what I pictured in my head and she added a color hud for the pail plus she included a bonus pail that moves with your AO. I couldn't have asked for anything else with this little set so I just had to run right out and take the pic I've been dreaming of. If you want to do your own beachcomber post, be sure to run to Demise of Flight and pick these adorable little pose props up! I love her so much for making them for me that I just had to partner her for a few days. *Giggles*

Seaswept

Demise of Flight released the most adorable basic maxi dresses. These simply pretty numbers come in 8 bold colors ranging from a neutral black to a brighter teal. I loved the teal meadow color so much that I just had to show it off for you. I added some new Exile hair (loving the sunkissed streaks!) and a pretty lotus flower from Noodles and voila, my seaswept look is complete!

Also forgive me if my picture is a little imperfect today. I was messing around with trying to create my own depth of field in GIMP and it was my first attempt. If anyone knows any good tutorials for this, feel free to pass me them because after all, practice makes perfect! :D

Scattered Into the Wind

Hey all! Just a quick little post with some goodies I picked up around the grid. I felt like doing a little artistic pic but taking blog pics at 2AM limits creativity. Still the pic is pretty in my opinion and I love this look so I figured I'd share it with you. The dress is from Fashionably Dead and available at this round of Collabor88. It makes me kind of feel like Wendy from Peter Pan especially when I combine it with the new Truth hair, Lotus. Anyways, I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday. Hugs!

I'll Hide My Make-Up Smeared Eyes

Wait, please don't go
I won't stay
All these words on replay
I'm okay
It's all right
Good to know that you're fine
Pretending everything is right to make it better
I'll hide my make-up smeared eyes
To show that I'm fine
Some how you have managed to get under my skin
More than anyone ever did
And if every hole makes a scar
And every scar marks its place
Then I will never live freely without your trace
And it'll never be fair.

Laid Back

Hi readers! Just a little post showing off a super casual outfit from 1 Hundred that is available at BlackOnly. I'm very much a yoga pants and cardigan kind of girl in RL (In fact, I'm wearing something similar in blue and gray today!) so I could definitely see myself wearing this often. Well, maybe not baring my tummy but hey this is SL and we're allowed to be sexier here. If you haven't checked out this event yet, be sure to browse past posts of mine for a little looksie or head on over and do some shopping because we all love black clothing especially when it's as cute as this.

Pics today are taken at Missing Mile. Most of you all have been there and for some reason, I always stop and take my pics at the main landing area near the trailers and train tracks but for some reason, today I decided to explore some more and found this Victorian inspired house that reminds me of something my mom would like so I decided to snap some pics around it (Yes, I know the outfit really doesn't fit the location but hey, let's pretend this is my actual house and I stepped out to get some air! :D )and that's all to my laid back themed post. Enjoy your hump day! Huggies!

The Other Side

Since I'm from the States, I sometimes forget that it's not Autumn in some places. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, it's Spring so when Demise of Flight put out these cutesy summer dresses, I had to show one off. I crashed my male bestie's house, who is actually in the Southern Hemisphere, (thanks X & Lici for allowing me to take pics at your lovely house!) and he decided to crash my pic in all his hamstery goodness.

This simple shirtdress comes in 5 pretty patterns and is Demise of Flight's first clothing release. I loved the light airy feel of the daisy pattern so I'm showing that off but there is a little something for everyone. If you're tired of Autumn looks already or actually going into the Summer like my Down Under friends, be sure to get on over to Demise of Flight and pick one of these cutesy numbers up.
