TEA TIME

PERSONAL UPDATE


 Hello Beautiful Second Life!
Tonight I went for tea and supper at the beautiful Geishas' tea house.
とし葉 (toshiha.magic) and としゑ美 (ame.ayashi) really made Paws Pawzouti (opinicus.extraordinaire),
their other guest, and I feel very welcomed and special. Many topics were covered in our
conversation and at the end they honored us with two dances and a flute musical performance.


THE WELCOME
Mieha 美恵葉 (mieha.tsunenaga): "Welcome back Novo sama, and welcome to Keshiki Ochaya!"
Mieha 美恵葉 (mieha.tsunenaga): "Thank you so much for coming today. I am Mieha.
Please do leave your shoes in my care and I will show you to the ozashiki room."
Mieha 美恵葉 (mieha.tsunenaga) bows politely.
Lori Novo: Hello, thank you, bows politely :)
とし葉 (toshiha.magic) bows politely.
とし葉 (toshiha.magic): Welcome! おいでやす!
Toshiemi としゑ美 (ame.ayashi): oideyasu Novo-sama
Toshiemi としゑ美 (ame.ayashi): Welcome

Toshiha とし葉 (toshiha.magic): "Please be welcome to choose a seat."
Lori Novo: Thank you very much!

Toshiha とし葉 (toshiha.magic) smiles as Mieha brings in a tea tray and sake.

nearby restaurants on delivery bike.

Raggedy Sad Clown

Featuring
Baiastice




This song is dedicated to my Steppenwolf.
Because without him I'm just a raggedy sad clown.

♫ 
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you...
♫ 


Hello Beautiful World!
Not too long ago I was confronted with the following question...

When you get partnered with someone in Second Life, 
would you say he/she is your partner or your husband/wife?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I seriously thought 100% that the answer was very simple and obvious to everyone.
That everyone would share my take on this one. However, when I asked Steppenwolf this question, I
was shocked to see that he was totally opposite from my answer. WHAT?!
Then it got me thinking, wouldn't it be fun to go out and ask random people their opinion on this topic?
The plan was to ask the question five to six men, and the same for women just to be fair. However, I
gave up after only three, one man, and two women.

Reya (r3ya): i would say he is my partner
Hugote Ferraz Czarny (hugote): I say he/she is your partner
Angelic Fates (angelxcivello): depends on the person either boyfriend or girlfirend or partners

I stopped at three because it seemed it wasn't a good day where people were not really in the mood
to be bothered. Most of my hellos were ignored, not like other days when people are very approachable and friendly. Anyways, let me share with you my opinion on this topic.

I do believe that when people partner in Second Life, though it is a big and serious step to take
that doesn't make you husband and wife. You continue to be just partners until you exchange
vows in a private ceremony between only the two of you, or a very few friends, or at a big wedding.
Partners to me are like when you move in together with your boyfriend/girlfriend and though
there is love, respect, and devotion to each other, still, the final step is necessary to take it
to husband/wife status.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that love and a relationship are not as special and beautiful
if you decide to live in a free union instead of marrying each other. Both kinds of relationships
are beautiful and special. I just like to name things for what they are, that's it.

Like Lovers Do




Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?...

Hello Beautiful World!
Hoping to get my new computer pretty soon, hopefully this week.
I am eager to get out there and explore as many haunted places as I can before the month is over. :P

Take Care!

Newfound Strength

Once again, I had another one of my dreams.

Hello Beautiful World!
This time in my dream I find myself running down a lonely street. There's a big storm and the sky is
now totally black as if it's been covered by a dark blanket. The heavy rain hurts my skin and bruises it
with every drop. The pavement and sidewalk are now flooded by a thin layer of water that seems to
thicken with every second. I am tired but I am a long way from home so I keep running in the storm.

I can't stop, 
I can't stop,
I can't stop...
I keep repeating as I keep running and falling hurting my knees now covered in blood.

As I continue my race to get home, I begin to notice people watching me from their home windows.
They are motionless and they don't speak, just like mannequins on display. However,
their faces show such sadness as they look at me.

And as I look at them, looking at me, I begin to cry.
They are sad for me I know, but I don't know why.

I can't stop, 
I can't stop,
I can't stop...
Do they know something I don't know? I wonder.

Now the water on the street has reached up to my knees, making it harder to run fast in the rain,
but I can't slow down! I continue running against the strong gusts of wind that seem to want to
block the way like invisible walls so I push harder and harder to proceed.

I run street after street and each time I pass a house, the owners, sadly watch me as if they had
been waiting for me to run by.

I am so tired now. I have been running for so long that my legs feel like blocks unable to want
to move anymore and I begin to get scared and I cry again. I know that the worst part of the storm
is yet to come. It is not too far behind and I must outrun it, but I can't anymore.

You can't stop, 
keep running!
And in the roaring of the thunder, and the wind and the rain, 
I hear my mother's loving and peaceful voice, telling me not to give up.

She is standing not too far looking at me from the sidewalk while I stand in the middle of the street.
We're both, under the heavy rain and the strong gusts of wind in the middle of the dark storm,
yet, on her face, there's no sadness or fear, but peace and a beautiful smile. I stand still watching
her and wanting to go to hug her, but with a gentle motion of her right hand, she lets me know
I must continue the run.

And with newfound strength, I begin to run once again.
I am no longer feeling scared or lonely because now I know my mother's loving eyes are watching me...

I can't stop, 
I can't stop,
I can't stop.


In my dream, I kept running and I woke up before I ever reached my destination.
However, I think my destination was reached the moment I heard my mother's voice. Seeing her
in my dream is what I needed during this time. I continue to struggle with my health and many
times I find myself feeling hopeless. I know I must continue to be strong.

I can't stop, 
keep running!

Thanks for reading my beautiful people!
Much Love,
Lori Novo

How Do You Fall In Love?

SONG OF THE DAY




Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river...



I Thought That I Was Special




I thought that I was special
You made me feel
Like it was my fault, you were the devil
Lost your appeal
Does it keep you in control? (In control)
For you to keep her in a cage?
And you swear you didn't know (Didn't know)
You said you thought she was your age.

How dare you?
And how could you?
-lyrics


Hello Beautiful World!
Today I suddenly realized that I am not really good at taking pictures at locations/outdoors.
I am so used to using my dark background that now I can't seem to be able to break free
from the routine.

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. 
It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
― Albert Einstein

I keep thinking why change/fix something that is not broken, right?
But we should always aim to improve in life, to learn new things,
to become better in everything we do, and never to fear change...

“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone 
that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”
― Roy T. Bennett

So for today, I stepped outside of my routine (the expected) and took a few pictures
that brought me joy and made me smile. And that my friends, is what life is about!

Much Love,
Lori Novo
