There is so much brain activity going on in my head right now I'm kind of struggling to function.

This is amplified by the fact I've managed to completely screw up my sleep schedule! I'm mad at myself, but I know this is just me taking a step backwards before starting off onto my whole "New Pickle" regime again. 

I've been joking lately that I'm going through an entire mid-life crisis. I feel like maybe I'm a little bit young to actually have a mid-life crisis, but then I remember that I'm only 19 in my head, and maybe it's completely appropriate to feel like a post-pubescent teenager again, 19 years later. (shh. I'm old ok?)

Ideally, I would use this time to buy a brand new car (preferably something fancy - and red. A Porche convertible, because it is Summer here, after all.) and then I remember I can't drive, so that goes out of the window. I'd also like a toy-boy... but only in theory. I've figured out that toy-boys are lovely to look at, but I don't game, don't like anime, and get tired of innuendos fairly quickly, so I reckon I'll just stick with single-dom until the crisis subsides!

I hope your Friday outlook is bright - don't forget to grab your 50L friday goodies!

Allow me to introduce you to my new friend, Paradox Messmer. 

Some of you might already know him, he's a pretty awesome DJ, he used to Model within the SL community and he's also a blogger and photographer.

He's joining today being the Danny to my Sandy, and all I can say is "Tell me about it, Stud!"

We were just hanging out when I mentioned the idea I had for this awesome bodysuit from Miss Chelsea, and he offered to help out so I didn't have to dual log Durex in, and as you can see he makes an "Electrifying!" Danny!!

While I faffed with the photograph we talked briefly about the movie, Grease. It was actually Dox that mentioned the fact that the movie doesn't really have a very good moral to it. I believe he said something along the lines of... "Oh yeah, just change everything about yourself and conform with the clique and you'll get the guy." or yanno.. basically words to that effect... and he's right. 

For years I have watched John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John strut through Rydell High, complete with the faux teenage angst, cheery-yet oddly emo songs and inappropriate life choices, but never had I actually considered the content of the movie, and when you actually think about it the whole concept is a little off. But I suppose that's the joy of placing a few well thought out musical interludes into a film, and in a few more years I might be saying the same for the "High School Musical" franchise. :P

Happy Friday, here's hoping you find the One that YOU want. :P

I often forget that Fifty Linden Fridays is a thing, and then I kick myself, because there are legitimately so many amazing stores offering up products -exclusive or otherwise- for just 50L.

If you're not aware of the group, it's free to join >Here<. 

This week, Miss Chelsea have put out the skirt shown above in TWO colours for just 50L. There's this "Nude" version, and a baby-pink/blush colour too. 

This skirt is actually one of my very favourite items from Miss Chelsea, and these colours are new, and I -think- exclusive to 50L Friday.. so of course you're going to have my 100% backing of taking advantage of the offer and all the others available today!

Hey!
Today might be a mishmash of crazy, because I've really, really been working on this post on and off all day (two days now. Shh), while being slightly distracted by other things. Mainly friends, and hot chicken wings, and the occasional netflix... today has actually been a really nice day.

For the most part, I feel like I explain myself quite well. Sometimes, however, I'm certain that my words get misconstrued and the quote "I'm responsible for what I say, not what you understand" comes to the forefront of my mind. I try to be clear and concise at all times, but even then when I am being my very plainest, there can be unanswered questions.
I feel as though if you (the collective you, not you personally), have questions, you should seek answers to them. If you feel something, you should express it. I believe in attempting to be unequivocably honest with yourself and others so that you can get to know you, and everyone around you knows where they stand.
Yet somehow, there's still room for questioning your motives, or 'people' (again, collective, not personal) can make you question yourself.
I think I might be slightly sleep deprived right now, and I'm not 100% that I'm making sense. Haha.
Ultimately, be human, be open, be honest.
xoxo
