Super short one today because the whole vlog ordeal made me so anxious I'm kinda exhausted... plus Potato Man's internet seems to be stable atm so I'm literally making grabby hands at him!

Did you say more Lord of the Rings? Well, okay then!
I wanted to actually attempt a male elf today, mostly because I miss Man-Pickle (even if it is tuesday!), and also because this gorgeous outfit from Hotdog was just too stunning to pass up - although it does come in a female version!
I wanted to push the boundaries a little, and try popping some typically female hair onto Man-Pickle's noggin. I think I may have pulled it off, because in my opinion, he still looks like a dude.
That all said, go get your LOTR on, because I cannot love this theme enough!

AHHHHHH
I might be a little excited about these Moss&Mink Computers!! HOLD ME DOWN WHILE I SQUEAL.
ok i'm done.
So i'm sure you've probably seen the inspiration behind this pic before, and if you haven't there's a little gyazo of it right >Here<
I searched for a couple of hours for a pose of it on marketplace last night, and then potatoman decided he'd do it.. and when I woke up this morning the sneaky little bugger was online and had completed half of it! How awesome is this!!?
Seriously, I am SO grateful for the beautiful people I am surrounded with at the moment, and often get a little teary eyed just thinking about how wonderful they are!
I don't do much RL online shopping, but I decided to peruse Amazon after getting a voucher for Christmas. I'd always been interested in those funky charcoal masks, so I picked one of those up first, and then still had enough left over for something else.
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this book before, but it's called "Yes Man" and it's by a guy called Danny Wallace. He's an English dude, and the way the book is written is right up my alley. Complete sarcasm, infused with utter nonsense, with a little bit of a moral, too. Because I liked that book so much, I picked up a copy of another of his books, called "Random Acts of Kindness".
I expected this to be very similar to his previous book, but it is in fact, entirely different.
It's literally just a list of suggestions of how to make someone's day a bit better and I can't describe how much I freaking love it. There's ideas anywhere from planting a tree, to buying a tub of coleslaw for a Portuguese man called Rui, and applauding someone for making an effort.
On that note, I want to invite you to do something nice for someone today.
Doesn't have to be much, doesn't have to cost you a thing... but just do something that will make them smile, and sit back and see how it affects you, too.
Seriously though, I've been seeing a butt-ton of nonsense on facebook lately, which just seems to be pulling people apart, and I was wondering - is that a direct result of social media?
Without the social media thingies, our opinions would be confined to those people in our lives that actually had some semblance of importance there. Now, your next door neighbours best friends cousin can be on your social media account because you waved at her once and when she sent you a friends request you didn't want to decline in case you offended your neighbour.
This whole social media thing is an absolute minefield. You don't share enough and you have the potential to be forgotten (especially if you're a blogger/creator within the SL world), and if you use it too much you're liable to say something eventually that has the potential to piss off an entire clique, thus spinning your 'reputation' into turmoil and potentially causing you to fall off the SL grid.
I really believe that while opinions aren't -usually- harmful, the way other people respond to said opinions can be. Not everyone needs to know your feelings. Not everyone needs to agree with you, and the truth is that if they do, you're probably surrounded by a bunch of 'yes men' that will likely shit talk you behind your back anyway, so sure, give us your opinions via social media, but don't get butthurt or defensive when your opinion isn't shared by all of your followers, and remember just as you seek respect for your opinion, others will be expecting the same for theirs, regardless of the content differing.

I've been reflecting a lot today, and I just wanna put it out there that I can be an asshole.
By asshole, I mean sometimes I just cannot keep my mouth shut.
For me to make sense of things, I need to vent.. and sometimes my choice of who I vent to can be somewhat uh.. fucked up.
See, I kind of have this habit of blurting, whether I've just met someone or I've known them for a while, I often scoop myself all the way up onto my high horse and preach to the hilltops about my personal opinions. While I'm much more confident in my opinions lately, that doesn't mean that everyone needs to know them, nor does it mean they care. I need to remember this.
I do have a habit of talking shit, too. Nothing that I can relate to 'gossip' as such, it's more like I'm really trying to work out WHY something happened, why I feel the way I do about a situation, what -I- could have done differently and why someone else reacted the way they did.
If I "talk shit" there's a 90% chance that I have already told the person I'm talking shit about how I feel, but again - that's not really anyone else's business. and it's certainly not my job to point out the flaws of others when I am so un-perfect myself.
I was considering the idea of new years resolutions today, and I think I've decided what mine is. I don't often make resolutions, because I feel like for the most part they are unrealistic, but for 2019, I want to do better at dealing with a situation and moving on. For my own sanity, I need to let things go, confide more in people that genuinely care and aren't just floaters in my life, and I definitely need to mind my own fucking business.
I really want to project positivity, and if I'm concentrated so firmly on other people and how negative they are (to ME), I will never achieve the serenity inside myself that I'm aiming for.
Lemme start off by saying a big thank you to Apple, who is currently "Apple Bottom" and did indeed, lend me her butt. TA LOVE!
I think it looks like Man-Pickle has been behaving badly in this photograph. Maybe he's pinched Apple's butt one too many times and she's sent him out of the cabin to think about what he's done while she tidies up his awful mess and eats her breakfast in peace. Man-Pickle is however considering all the ways he could get her back, and contemplating dumping the contents of the marshmallow bucket in her hot chocolate! Is that really a bad thing though?
Today I'm joined by a mystery guest, because he's shy... and the only thing I know he's wearing is the pants, from legal insanity @ Fameshed, so uh, go there if you like them!
In this picture, we're in a waiting room. I'm not really sure what kind of waiting room it is, but we'll pretend it's for something innocuous like... dentistry *nods*.
I'm sure it's not for anything serious, as Man-Pickle has perfect, sparkling teeth akin to a Hollywood movie star. *shrugs*
Anywho, there's details below so check them out!

Hi!
Happy Man-Pickle Monday!
I'm not gonna write a bunch of nonsense today, because honestly, my brain is up my backside, and much as it can be amusing to witness my attempts to pull my own head out of my ass, I'd like to be able to do it privately.. maybe with the help of a couple of reliable friends :P
Have a wonderful day, and make sure you check out the awesome items on offer at this month's TMD!
It's been a while since Durex has featured here, so I decided to dig him out of his semi-retirement phase and throw him into the darkness to choke the fudge outta Pickle.
Let's face it, I'm sure there would have been plenty of volunteers.. *coughs* but Durex will always be my go-to in terms of male-models, he's just so pliable!
I don't have any fancy words of wisdom today, so for all the information, keep scrolling down!
