I want it.

Pose : I kinda forgot to write it dowwwwn! I'm sorry.

Location : Remnants of Earth (Roleplay area, please be courteous)

It took me a little while to actually get this shot, and that's okay, because I ran around SL like a complete lunatic trying to figure out what it was I wanted.. then I found this futuristic police-type car thing and my butt sat there and I was content.

I have been doing a bit of running around SL lately, and it's actually been surprisingly pleasant.

Rather than sitting on my platform, or standing statuesque at a filthy sim where no one actually talks to anyone else but peacocks their avatars around as though they're King of the world, I've been exploring. October is the perfect time to do this, because people get all creative thanks to the onset of Halloween. (In a detour from your currently scheduled programming, the word "Onsent" apparently means "The beginning of something, especially something unpleasant", so I left it there because Halloween is fun, but ultimately kinda spooky and therefore almost unpleasant. Pls just love me today. My head is up my backside.)

ANYWHO. Ultimately what I'm trying to say is, get your butt off your platforms, step away from the sex sims and away from your platforms, and do some exploring!

Maybe one day I'll update that Locations page to include all these fantastic places i'm finding, but I AM incredibly lazy, so we'll have to see. :P

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

I feel like maybe Man-Pickle may have reverted to Boy-Pickle for this bloggy, but I'm kind of digging the entire look.

It's been a bit of a running joke that I could make the perfect fuckboy - and I think I might have proved that assertion correct, however, if I'm gonna be a fuckboy, I'm gonna be the best damn fuckboy SL has seen. With that said, here are a few rules if you would like to be the best fuckboy you can be. (This is satire, if you can't handle it - scroll on down for the regular details!)

1. Begin every IM with "Hey bbg." "Hey slut." or another derivative to prove your Internet Dominance.

2. After initial IM wait 10 minutes to respond to every message you receive.

3. Feign some sort of interest in the latest video game/anime.

4. Complain tirelessly about the girls who won't leave you alone because you're just so awesome.

5. Share your musical talent with everyone you talk to, asap.

6. Give out backhanded compliments. "You look like shit. That shirt is cute tho boo."

7. All your exes are batshit.

I'm tired. There's more, but tbh, if you wanna be a fuckboy - fuck off. :P

So today has kinda been one of those days. I woke up late, which was actually nice, because who doesn't like a lie-in, but after that I feel like it's been a bit of an annoying trial by fire day. Not that anything major has happened, it hasn't. I'm just frustrated by little things and then I get more frustrated because the little things are making me want to throw objects at people.

I'm sure you get where i'm coming from! 

We all have days where things just don't go the way we want them to, or we end up rushing around trying to complete things. I am quickly learning that there is an art to this - and it's making it very necessary for me to say NO more often. Part of me hates saying no to other people - but it's far more important for me right now (as a very selfish Pickle) to say no to others in order to have the energy to say yes to myself.

Anyway! Here's some awesome things, created by even more awesome people! Be sure to keep scrolling down after the information bit so you can see the fantastic dress by Shook in all it's three-length glory!

Sometimes, it's easy to look at things with the wrong perspective.

I say this knowing that my journey is still a process, knowing that I'm still learning to see things with a positive eye - however, since I have been actively trying to become more positive I have definitely noticed changes.

I've also noticed an influx of people who don't want my life to excel, who are so stuck in their own misery they are incapable of wishing someone - sometimes someone they don't even know and have never spoken to - well. All it takes is a nod and a smile to be positive. You don't have to offer up words of encouragement, but keeping your negative and abuse laden comments to yourself is in itself a positive step toward thinking differently.

I can definitely be one of the most judgmental people you have met. It's taking me a butt-ton of patience with myself to re-teach my brain that this isn't appropriate. Many of us, as humans, have been through some excruciating times and been put in situations you would wish on no-one. Bob Marley is rumored to once said 

“Who are you to judge the life I live?

I know I'm not perfect

-and I don't live to be-

but before you start pointing fingers...

make sure you hands are clean!”

Not one of us is perfect. We have all been broken. We are all stitched together the best way we know how, sometimes with care and love and other times with self loathing and internal anger. You know which way you have been stitched and only you can make a difference in how you see yourself. Projecting your insecurities on another does no good, you're simply spreading your negativity in a vague attempt to bring someone down to your level of misery.

Make a choice today, and decide to show love. Project hope. Give off positivity.

Also, love yourself. You really do deserve it. ♥

Man-Pickle has been suspiciously missing lately, and I can only apologize for his sudden disappearance. However, I'm feeling 34058934% better than I have in weeks, and so hopefully -HOPEFULLY- things can get semi normal except for when I'm doing the whole RL thing which is scary and awesome and amazing and I'll fill you guys in on when there's a substantial change.

In the meantime, please check out all the awesome things from TMD before the round closes!
