Happily a Bellesserite

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my lovely Linden Home. The STILT homes are on the horizon, and once upon a time I HAD a stilt home (built by Funky Junk) and I truly LOVED it. I loved just being on the water, and it was a happy time.

But really, I’ve got a little corner of paradise. I live here in an awesome spot on THE ELMS and a place I call Elms Sea and really, my view is unparalleled and my neighbors are quiet (no satan alters at this spot) and so can I complain?

No. I can’t.

I chose the one story model as it’s the best vic for me and my overwhelming need to decorate. I can’t have a bunch of EMPTY ROOMS darnit. I need to fill every room and while I LOVE the big houses, I always desperately want to decorate and fill all the rooms and while my prim allotment is generous it’s not enough. I need more.

Plus I need knicknacks everywhere. So you see, a two story just wasn’t going to get it.

I’ve been here a while, long enough for it to start to feel like home. Can you be in love with your little home space? I kind of am.

Also things rings from Yummy. She truly makes the best rings on the grid. Are you wearing them? No? Why?

It’s a Wednesday my lovelies, I hope the week is treating you well. Until tomorrow…ciao.

The Mondayest

After a busy pixel day I came home determined to get into something comfortable and just BE for a while. Maybe read a book or just listen to music and relax. You know those kinds of plans? Where you think if I can just get into something comfortable my day will be restored to peace?

I got in to something comfortable, and relaxed across my bed and that’s where I landed.

Tomorrow is another day, right?

Halloween on Millbank

Gogo recommended the Halloween Experience over at the MILLBANK sim and I decided that once I had a cup of coffee it was time to get in the spirit. After all – this is one of my FAVORITE times of year on the grid. There is a haunted tour which is delightfully spooky.

It was a lot of fun, but then something weird happened. Right after I crossed over the cemetery…

I passed by this dude and his dog on a foggy street. I assume he lived there? I mean, it’s a street – I guess these are someone’s homes? Spooky people’s homes but homes nonetheless. Anyway, as i float along a walking path I realize that he is running behind me. He’s following me!

WHY? What are you doing ?

He never spoke to me, but he and his big dog essentially chased after me the last 1/3 of the tour, following me like some creepy killer. It was actually unnerving.

It reminded me a lot of the early days of the grid where noobs like me wouldn’t have their lots restricted and people would barge in and threaten you, as though they could do something to you. They couldn’t, but it was scary and weird when it would happen. I’m not sure why this dude was following me or what he was even doing. Maybe I just happened to be taking his favorite dog walking path.

Except dogs in SL don’t ACTUALLY have to be walked.

I’m totally getting my big dog out when I get home. This is some boo sheet.

Planning My Week

I decided to share off my ennui with some good old fashioned planning. I figured if I force myself to do things on a schedule It might help drive away some of the fatigue I seem to be belaboring under. I’m feeling rather excited so – this might just work! Who knows?

Fueled by pizza and pop, I’m ready to make this a productive week on the grid.

How’s your week shaping up?

Kawaii a Bit

I have to admit that one of the things I LOVE most about BOM being a thing is my ability to pull out RIDICULOUS things from the beginnings of SL and wear them. SUCH AS – these jeans from Butterfly Island – was that the place or the brand? The brand – was it Coconut Ice? Man I can’t remember….. Oh Butterfly Island, I coveted all your things once upon a time. I bought them, I stalked the lucky chairs, I was a fairy more often than not.

I went back once a couple of years ago or more and was nostalgic and sad for how amazing it used to be – and how it simply had not kept up in the way old stores don’t sometimes.

Thus, I put on my fairy jeans and relive my love of those days when belts were painted on our pants and we thought that was just lovely.

The secret these days, of course, is simply not to move too much in your BOM pants or that waistline slips around like crazy and you look nuts. Thus, I took may photos and tried to find the least nuttiest.

I don’t care. I still love these jeans. Weird painted fairies and all.

Now who wants to help me eat this gummy bear? This thing is ridiculous.

Seaside Yet Again

I stopped by Rainbow Reef in my brand new swimsuit to visit and maybe gawk at all the lovers canoodling and wouldn’t you know it? No one is here.

Looks like I don’t have to share a paddle-boat with anyone though. WINNING!

If you need me, I’ll be in the water.

Midweek Hurdle

We did it. We got past the midweek hurdle. Personally it was a struggle but I am struggling in general to ever get anything done these days. The ennui or laziness that seems to own me is pervasive. I’m trying to fight it but, the struggle is real.

I probably just need to go shopping.

Shopping fixes everything, right?

Domestic Goddess

I’m feeling domestic this Monday evening so despite being overdressed for it, I’m doing a bit of baking in my extremely silly kitchen. I swear I’m going to put in a proper kitchen at some point but this one makes me giggle and thus, for now it stays.

How was your Monday? Mine was pretty great, despite the fact that I’m still vexed that I didn’t get the chair that matches my desk and it’s not out at the mainstore yet.

Some day. Until then, I’ll just eat these pies.
