Day 2 – Starting to feel it!!

Okay. Honestly? I’m really starting to feel it now.

The excitement is building up inside of me, like ..

Oh for pete’s sake. LMAO

[19:18] Alicia Chenaux: It’s an afternoon garden wedding, so I wouldn’t go all out formal, but anything pretty that you like should work. Please keep your boobs covered until the reception though.

[19:18] Heidi Halberstadt: FUCK

[19:19] Tymmerie Thorne: *changes her outfit*

[19:19] Alicia Chenaux: LOL!!!

[19:19] Elle Kirshner: even the DJ? or is there a DJ boobie exception?

[19:19] Alicia Chenaux: Oh, you can show your boobs anytime!

[19:19] Heidi Halberstadt: I vote for DJ being the exception.

[19:19] Ulaa Coronet: i love DJ tits

[19:19] Ulaa Coronet: more tips

[19:19] Heidi Halberstadt: There’s always time for THE RACK

[19:20] Alicia Chenaux: Oh god. Someone’s going to pull a strip pole out at the reception, aren’t they?

[19:20] Sehra Kauffman: like… short dress or longer?

[19:20] Blackhawk60 Sikorsky: is it not good if i wear my freenis, i can hide it as long as people promise not to see hidden prims

[19:20] Ulaa Coronet: im gonna drop a tip jar i dunno about anyone else

[19:20] Heidi Halberstadt: Imma gonna wear mah silks

And that’s what I have to put up with!!!

Anyway… LOL

I’m getting very excited. Every time I look at the benches, the altar, the gazebo, my heart just swells and flutters with happiness. I have re-read the words I’ve written to say to Aldwyn at the ceremony probably 20 times tonight, and each time I tear up a little.

I’ve had good and bad times in my SLife, as we all have, but never did I think I’d ever be this happy! It just feels RIGHT, you know? Just so so so right.

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true.

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true…
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Day 285 – Days Like This

Today has been one of those SL days that makes me remember WHY I stick around this crazy place. After all, where else could you ….

Sit on a big ass multicolored dinosaur and talk shit with your best friend?

Go to a styling competition and realize you can’t compete against a girl in a big ass birthday cake dress and a girl with a tree growing out of her head?

Stand next to a girl who is over 7 feet tall?

Die laughing because your friends are just as short as you are and we look like midgets next to the big ass glamazons?

Go to your friends’ place and see a couple of hot guys making out?

Run to Ol’ McMoonites Farm Of Beef & Beer and sit on a cow?

Giggle like a fool because your partner squashed the veal with her new big butt?

And go cow tipping?

This. No matter what else happens in Second Life, days like this remind me of how much I love our wonderful, beautiful, incredible world. ♥

Day 250 – I like to try a lot of meat!

This picture doesn’t really have anything to do with anything. I was just flipping around in poses and thought it was a cute pose that I might not find anything to do with.

I am in the middle of a meat overdose at the moment. I headed out with some friends tonight to a churrascaria, which I’m pretty sure is Brazilian for “You should have worn stretchy pants.” It was delish, and it was great to go have something different. And of course the meat jokes were as plentiful as the meat itself. :-p

I hit up a few of the sale things today in SL, but I’m getting highly tired of one day sales. It makes me feel like I have to rush and I’m so not down with that anymore. I hate to miss out on something good, you know?

So I’m off to bed now because I’m getting up early to hit a farmers market before heading out to spend the day with my parents. I hope everyone had a lovely Friday!

Oh, because I like bugging you guys with YouTube videos, listen to this song! I remember it from 1993 and it reminds me of my very first days on this new thing called the Internet. I was 15 and it was a whole new world. Oh hey, that’s another song that reminds me of those days! That’ll have to be a song for another day. 🙂

Day 249 – I roll my heart out like a welcome mat

“Why yes sir, I know all about dic…tation.”

It was another one of those happy, lovely days that there just aren’t enough of in the world. Cute IMs, brief, happy phone calls, talking to my mom and hearing about how well she’s doing, bringing back one of my ultra stylish friends to the island, snickering because “live help” was not much help, laughing even more when a frustrating situation was actually not that bad, watching my SL wifey build something girly & gorgeous, dancing with a sweet man, laughing with my best friend and making her not want to eat a cookie, funny plurks, chatting in my group with the crazy girls… Truly a great day. 🙂

Oh, and laughing because Miss Evil Eviepantsface made me BLING in a picture!

Is it just me or did she make that dress look better by darkening the skirt?

It’s days like today that make me remember how truly blessed I am. And happy! Oh so happy!

Of course, talk to me tomorrow afternoon when I’m hysterically crying because I have nothing to wear out to a fancy dinner. :-p But then I will go out and I will be happy again. 🙂

Laugh when I feel like it
Cry when I feel like it
That’s just how my life is
That’s how it goes

Oh watch me go
I’m a happy girl
And I’ve come to know
That the world won’t change
Just ’cause I complain
Let the axis twirl
I’m a happy girl

Day 248 – I see the best of me inside your eyes

The title of the post doesn’t have a lot to do with anything, it’s just a lyric from a song I’m listening to right now.

I don’t actually have a ton to say tonight. There is so much good going on in my life at the moment, I almost feel bad because a few people I care deeply about are not having very good days lately. I don’t want to apologize for being happy, but at the same time, I don’t want to rub it in any faces. Does that make sense? I know that these same people would tell me that I’m being silly, that I should never feel like I have to downplay anything, but…I guess I just feel like it would be impolite to squeal over little things when they are hurting.

Earlier I was taking a picture for the style blog out at the sim where the D!va hair mainstore is, and while I haven’t finished that picture yet [tomorrow!], I was playing with photoshop with another photo I took while I was out there. It’s fun to just go nuts with PS sometimes. Usually for the style blog, I don’t post process very much at all, as I feel that doesn’t show the clothes or other items off as they are in world, and I feel like that does a big disservice to the people who are nice enough to read my blog looking for things to buy. But over here, if I don’t post process much, it’s just because I was lazy. Not that this picture took me more than 20 minutes. Maybe one day I’ll actually learn Photoshop. One day.

Oh, and if you really care, here’s the song I’m listening to.

Day 163 – I think it’s fly when girls stop by for the summer

I’m a summer girl. Always have been, always will be. I love the sunshine, the heat, everything! As most of my friends can tell you, I’m different when it’s cold, or gray, or rainy. So to say I’m excited for the summer is an understatement.

I’m DOUBLE excited for this summer because some great things are already being planned! Like… I’m going to meet up with Sophia in Austin this summer!! Squeeee! It’s going to be SO FUN to finally hang out with her!! We were thinking too that if any of our SL friends are in the area, maybe we could all meet up for dinner or something. 😀

And tonight I was hanging out with my best friend of 15 years [pedicures & shopping, baby!] and we decided that we’re going on a road trip this summer to celebrate our birthdays. Colorado, here we come! So if anyone is around the Denver area, or is somewhere along the way, and would like to meet up, we’d love it!

Also, I think I’m going on a trip to New Mexico with some family in June, but that’s really tentative.

This summer just seems full of fun and excitement. I can’t wait!!

Day 100 – It was a good day.

From now on, Valentine’s Day will always be known to me as…

the day M Linden felt me up.

Day 56 & how I spent my New Year’s Eve

So when Codie asked me if I’d be interested in DJing at Rouge for New Year’s Eve, I jumped at the chance! I hadn’t planned on going out because I have a cold and because I don’t like to take my chances out on the roads anymore during NYE just because of all the drunks. I am so so glad that she asked me to DJ because I had an absolute BLAST last night!!! And now, of course, you all get to see pictures. :-p

Me, on top of the DJ booth.

Such a fun crowd!

I had probably my first real fangirl moment in ages when Phaylen Fairchild showed up. I’ve been such a fan of hers for so long. 🙂 It was also her 7th rezday!

Of course, Linden Lab was doing rolling restarts, and wouldn’t you know it, Rouge got hit during the party. Everyone scattered and some of us ended up on neighboring Leek Island.

But, all was well and the party picked up just as big as it was before.

Another crowd shot.

This pic makes me laugh because it looks like Gabby had a little too much to drink!

After my set, DJ Dancien took over the air and I hopped down to dance with Moggs. I never get to party with her, our time zones are just too different!

I also hopped up on the pole with Dan, because hey, why not?

Then we all decided to hit up Madame Maracas’s party! Party bus, forward!

I don’t know why he has his own pole…but considering I think I’m the only person I know without my own, I’m not really going to question it. That’s the great Madame dancing near!

All in all, it was a fantastic way to usher in 2010! I hope to get out a see people a whole lot more now, because I just had an absolute ball!

And yeah…I dragged myself home at the crack of dawn.

Episode 1064: The One Where She Gets Mushy

Um. I just realized I passed the 1000 post mark a while back. Damn, I was going to actually do a big post for that. *sighs*

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US, and everywhere else too because giving thanks is definitely something all of us should do every morning we wake up. 🙂 No, not in a religious way if that’s not the way you swing, but just in a “Yes! I get to be alive and kicking one more day!!”

I woke up pretty early today to cook because I’m heading over to my parents’ house for lunch, and although they have the “main” portion of our meal over there, I wanted to bring a couple of things too. While I was smashing sweet potatoes, I was thinking about how different my life has been over the past couple of years. [It’s my rezday, although I don’t actively celebrate it.]

A couple of years ago, I was a mess. If you’re close to me, you know the story already, and if you’re don’t…well, you probably don’t really need to. lol But I was a huge mess. A lot of it had to do with just never getting over my oldest sister’s death back in 1999. I probably should have had counseling back then, but I’d chosen to just drug myself up and go about my business. But the problem was, I wasn’t really going about MY business. I was trying to be everything that everyone wanted me to be and when I started to realize that I couldn’t do it, I started to crack. Drugs weren’t enough anymore. I was numb and I was scared and I thank God that I had someone who picked me up off the floor. I certainly couldn’t have done it myself at that moment.

In the past 2 years, I have changed, and grown, and I am more myself now than I have been since before 1999. I honestly LIKE who I am for the first time in probably 12 years. And in liking who I am, I find that I have more to give to people now. But the funny thing? The people I surround myself now don’t expect me to give them anything. When I find myself slipping back into the “What can I do for you today?” type thing with my friends, their answer is always “Nothing. We just want you.” And that is something that I am exceptionally grateful for, and I give thanks every single day for it. If my old friends were like that too, it is my fault for never seeing it, and I will admit that.

So what am I grateful for this Thanksgiving? Almost too many things to mention, so we’ll just go with the [mostly] SL things. I’m grateful for the wonderful people of the Ch’Know group, both past and present members. What started out as just a way for me to change my tag blossomed into some of the most amazing friendships I could have ever asked for. I’m grateful for my Sophia. Yes, she is loud, and she is bossy, and she is one of the strongest personalities I’ve ever known. But someone like me needs someone like her, and I’m grateful each and every day that I have her in my life. I’m grateful for the people that took me in when I was first starting out here, even if I don’t see or talk to them much [or at all] anymore. Cen, Sam, Rick, the whole Viper Pit family. They taught me what it meant to just have fun again, to let my guard down and just be me, because that’s all they ever asked of me. I’m grateful for the readers of this blog. You all have warmed my heart so many times with comments, IMs, or notecards telling me this or that. You all have pushed me to become a better blogger, a stronger writer, and a more active participant of Second Life. Even when I think that I’m finished, that I have nothing more to say, someone reminds me that I’m not done.

I’ve cried about 4 times now while writing this. I am such a sap!! LOL!

Have a wonderful holiday if you celebrate it, or just a wonderful Thursday if you don’t. I’ll be back later tonight so you all can tease me about crying during a blogpost. 🙂

So happy :)

I haven’t been doing very well on my blogging every day thing, huh? LOL! But I have been trying! I’ve just been busily hanging out with my new guy and I’ve just been having a lot of fun. 🙂

After all, who else would let me build a very preppy colored house around them while they cook dinner?

Or make prehistoric porn before my very eyes??

Even though I love my house and will keep it up, we’re moving into another fabulous house that I picked up from Xstreet a few weeks ago. 🙂

[It’s been gray in my RL lately, so I made the sky match in SL.]

I love this house and have SO wanted to use it, but I didn’t really have a use for it, and any skyboxes I have, I usually stick to the lower prim one room kind to decorate. But now we can use this because it’s home. 🙂 Well…home with no furniture. LOL

How we’ll decorate, I have no idea.

I guess I should get back up on the posestand. I’ve got blog pics to take. As much as I love my new wacom, it’s a lot slower for me to use it rather than use the mouse. But the effect is better on my face, so I guess I should just suck it up and learn how to use it more efficiently. One day! 🙂
