I've been trying to spend some time with people offline lately, but that's kind of melded into us playing computer games... that aren't SL. This is a little bit of a shock to me, because I am most definitely too old to be any type of girl, let alone a "gamer girl".
I always find it amusing how things that weren't cool 5-10 years ago, come around as being cool, and the only reason it becomes cool is because people love to be considered edgy or different... just look at the hipsters running around with their curled up mustaches, and the current 'fad' of being a babygirl. (No offence to anyone who identify either of these communities, but you haveta admit there's a sudden influx of both of these things)
Anywho, I hope your week is beautiful, and continues to do nothing but improve!

Yesterday marked the end of the Halloween month, and here I am casting spells the day after.. and why? Well, quite simply, I'm wanting all those evil spirits to disperse, maybe I need some sage...
Onwards and upwards!

I have never been someone who felt like they needed to be friends with everyone, all the time.
As I grow older, it seems as though I might be taking that a little too seriously. I'm not friends with everyone, at all. In fact, my patience wears so thin, that often I'm not even friends with the people who think they're friends with me.
I suck at reaching out. I'm absolutely crap at small talk. I struggle to maintain surface level 'friendships' and when I feel overwhelmed, I will retreat and curl up in a ball barely speaking until I can see clearly again.
I have a habit of making ridiculous assumptions that my brain claws at and makes up reasons why they're correct rather than just letting them go, and I get frustrated, because who actually WANTS to be a loner unless they're content in their own unhappiness?
I'm awkward and say the wrong thing at the wrong time. I over-think literally everything and I remove people from my life without giving them the chance to put up a fight, and then expect them to put up a fight! I'm an absolute freakin' nightmare!
However, if you can hold on through all my negatives, through all the ridiculous rantings and unnecessary judgments and occasional irrational situations... you might just find the best friend you ever had. I am loyal. I am honest - brutally so. I'm pretty funny, I can spin a negative into a positive in the blink of an eye and I can make something out of nothing like a magician... if you need the shirt off my back - it's yours, without question and I will never intentionally ignore you unless I need to sort my own thoughts out.
Relationships are a minefield, and I strongly believe that just because you're 'bad juju' to one, you're another's perfection. It's all about fitting personalities together and listening to your gut - my gut just tends to be a tad more sensitive!
I do intend on working on acceptance, and even if I remain in the position I'm in now, I know I have the strength to understand that perceptions differ depending on personal situations.
So, about this spell - anyone wanna give it a go?

For a more detailed look at the Lumae Ethesi skin, you can check out this older post >Here<!
Absolutely LOVE how this photo came out, and just as well, too, because it took me bloody ages to capture!
I also tried some new things with the ripple detailing. Every time I do a picture involving water, I like to add a little something new, and I'm thrilled with this one! Now I just need to work out how to get droplets on my skin... *flails wildly*
Today I'm going to show a few hunt gifts and freebies.
I may have been a little slow when it comes to taking part in the hunts, so if they no longer exist I apologize, it just seems like their aren't enough hours in the day sometimes. Perhaps that's what Pickle & Paloma are making a potion for above?
Most Monday's I will do a Man-Pickle post, I have no excuse today, other than I seem to get wrapped up in Halloween far too late, and then have all these ideas buzzing around, so I'm sorry if a Man-Pickle post was expected! He'll be back next week though!
I think it's absolutely amazing that some of our talented SL creators are still willing to give out hunt gifts/group gifts and freebies. When I first started SL I would spend hours trailing the grid for some quality freebies, and with the introduction of the MadPea hunts & puzzles, Secondlife is becoming a far more immersive place to spend time as the users create these experiences for us. If you like MadPea, you could also check out the Bubble Productions Ride of Doom which is a bit similar, but more 'family friendly', so you can take your littles & teens along without worrying about scaring them silly. It's possible to do the ride within 1-2 hours, including the quest afterwards and it's all been lovingly created by family friendly creators, too!
I'm sure there are many, many more rides and haunted houses, and interactive areas available, but these two are definitely my favourites this year. Feel free to comment below with yours! <3
