How easy it is to be sucked into the negative!

I heard somewhere that for every bad thing you hear about yourself, you hear 13 good things that you glaze over because you've taught yourself not to believe them, so now, whenever I hear someone who doesn't know me say something bad about me, I'll try to recall just five nice things I've heard from people who do know me.

Don't get me wrong, I know I have bad points, but let's face it, unless it's coming to you in the form of asked for constructive criticism, it's going to often appear like an attack... which will probably put the initiator on the defensive, and there's your argument start point.

I won't argue anymore. I can't. I'm too tired.

Instead, I'll internalize, and most of the time I'll come to the conclusion that when it really, really isn't me initiating the negative, it says more about them than it does me.

Love and light.

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 don't want to share, but today is a good day for real life, and one that will remain in my memory for a very long time.

I adore these froggies from Culprit at Enchantment this round. The large toad Pickle sits on is a rare mount version - there are four of those colours to collect, and the smaller frogs are common companions, with several varieties to grab!

Go get all the goodies!

Doing this kind of a photo has always scared me a little bit. I mean, in theory, it's a lovely idea. In actuality, the process can take a while when you factor in everything that needs to be done from set-up, to different perspectives people have, to editing etc. Luckily, the two girls (Paloma doesn't count, because she's me) I chose to do this with are wonderfully patient and amazing friends... so this was actually a good time and not nearly as stressful as it could have been! 

I can be kind of bossy, and I already had this plan in my head. Not being 100% up on the Battle Royale movie made it a little difficult, but then the Juniper stepped in and schooled (see what I did there?) Cielo and I, luckily, it kinda made sense.

I had visions of the movie "The Craft" in my head, the promo poster where the girls are strutting through the school as if they owned the place. I wanted to embody that confidence. Girl gang ftw!

Paloma is obviously cowering in the background with her rather pathetic frying pan, hoping to avoid too much of the fighting, but Cielo, Juni and I are going for it full force. I just wonder who's going to be the first of us three to die, and will it be by the hand of one of us?

For Cielo's version check her flickr >Here< and for Juniper >Here<
