Funny Girl

OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Hello my Friends!

As you can see, I've got a nose job thanks to Steppenwolf who insists on calling me "funny girl".

No matter what I write or say, passionate, romantic, or scary, he always finds it funny.

So I told him next time he called me "funny" I would be putting on a clown nose.

Tonight, once again he called me "funny" and immediately the nose went on, I already had it on

hand waiting for the moment to come.

Lori Novo: baby am I sooo special to you?

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): yes baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz

Lori Novo: that sounds so plain

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): oh you're funny

Funny Girl "Funny Girl"

Lori Novo: there! :P

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): why you got a red nose?

Lori Novo: you said I am funny

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): haha

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): now you're being goofy too?

Lori Novo: I'll be wearing it all the time when we are together :P

Lori Novo: this is my new look

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): well it won't look good on the fashionista circuit

Lori Novo: no baby, just with u

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): :P

Lori Novo: love you :P

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): te amo

While we were dancing, I am not sure what he was trying to do but he lost his pants and shoes.

I was very tempted to take a picture of his butt for the blog but he would have kicked my butt, sorry. :P

Lori Novo: oh babyyy ur pants?

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): lost my pants

Lori Novo: u lost them

Lori Novo: omg they gonna see you

Lori Novo: PICTURE TIME! lol

Lori Novo: they gonna see ur crack in the blog :O

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): whats on my feet?

Lori Novo: lol idk baby, you are the one wearing them

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): they are adidas sandals

Lori Novo: they don't look like adidas sandals

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): and i was wearing them under my shoes too

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): no wonder my toes hurt

Lori Novo: lol baby

OMG, my baby is so silly!

If you say it three times, it will come true. ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): i wish i wish i wish  I could  take

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): omg

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): gonna spank you

Lori Novo: promise? :P

Lori Novo: no my baby

Lori Novo: I wouldn't do that to you, you know right?

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): yes

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): well 90% sure :P

Lori Novo: lol

Mmm, that 10% leaves a lot of room for many possibilities.

What Was I Made For?

What Was I Made For?

- Billie Eilish -

"I used to float, now I just fall down

I used to know, but I'm not sure now

What I was made for

What was I made for?"

 

Dancing a beautiful dance to a beautiful song in a beautiful place...

"Takin' a drive, I was an ideal

Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real

Just somethin' you paid for

What was I made for?

'Cause I, I

I don't know how to feel

But I wanna try

I don't know how to feel

But someday, I might

Someday, I might"

"Mm, mm, ah

Mm, mm, mm

When did it end? All the enjoyment

I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend

It's not what he's made for

What was I made for?"

"'Cause I, 'cause I

I don't know how to feel

But I wanna try

I don't know how to feel

But someday, I might

Someday, I might

Think I forgot how to be happy

Somethin' I'm not, but somethin' I can be

Somethin' I wait for

Somethin' I'm made for

Somethin' I'm made for"

I never mind dancing by myself, I have done it so many times before.

Hello Beautiful World!

You still continue to be beautiful in my eyes. The sun still shines for me every day. The birds

still sing and the soft wind still feels mighty good and warm on my face.

Why wouldn't I still see you so beautiful?

While I was dancing today, I thought no one was watching me, but there was.

Cucuawe (londra95): No worries, just watching you dance :)

Cucuawe (londra95): is it ok?!?

Lori Novo: yes :)

Cucuawe (londra95): thank you

And he continue watching me dance in silence until it was time for me to keep moving.

It has never bothered me when someone watches me dance, it's been happening since my first year

in Second Life. I always seem to get spectators.

Getting My Feet Wet

Published July 3, 2011

Today, while talking to my new friend Lysi (Lysistrata Szapira), she told me that it was brave

of me to display my true feelings publicly as I did in my latest Personal Update. It wasn't easy,

to be honest with you. It puts me in a very vulnerable position. However, I felt I just needed to.

I had never done something like I did that night, asking strangers for help. But I did it because I

I really didn't want to be alone in the sadness I was in. That update wasn't at all about what had

happened to me prior, it was about the negative, or no responses I got from all the people that I 

asked for help. I was feeling shocked to see that not a single person found it in their heart to

show some compassion to someone in need. I felt angry and disappointed.

What if it had been someone with a truly serious problem that had asked for help

and getting that help would be saving that person's life, like a last cry for help.

We need to be more compassionate to other people and make the time to help out when they

need a hand to hold theirs, an ear to listen to, or just to sit with them in silence so they'll know they

are not alone. What can possibly be more important than to help each other?

To be honest, after seeing that no one cared to answer my cry for help,

everything else that had happened before wasn't even in my head anymore.

It was the disappointment and the anger that took over after.

That night no one cared, but the next day Lysi after reading my post reached out to me and

offered me not only the companionship I had needed that night, but her friendship.

What a beautiful heart she has to go on to reach out to me and say, "You are not alone, I am here."

She truly restored my faith back in knowing that there are good people in Second Life that do care.

God bless her heart!

Now, I also asked in that post if I should also stop caring for people.

But how can I stop? I can't.

I love people, love helping and making people happy however I can.

I could never stop helping anyone that needs help or showing kindness and compassion 

to others. My heart will always stay open for those that need help.

My purpose in Second Life is to do my best to bring smiles to other people and for people to know

that for me Second Life is not about me, but about them. That is the reason I am always posting

about all the people I come across during my outings. If in my day I can make one person smile or

lend a helping hand, then my day wasn't lived in vain.

Now you might be asking

"But Lori, where are you? That is such a beautiful place!"

And indeed it is, this is

The Garden of Hope

This is all for now my beautiful people.

Always keep a beautiful heart full of love and compassion for those in need.

Much love,

Lori Novo

Picture

~ Kid Rock feat. Sheryl Crow ~

Living my life in a slow hell

Different girl every night at the hotel

I ain't seen the sunshine in three damn days

Been fueling up on cocaine and whisky

I wish I had a good girl to miss me

Lord, I wonder if I'll ever change my ways.

I put your picture away

Sat down and cried today

I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her

I put your picture away

Sat down and cried today

I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her.

I called you last night in the hotel

Everyone knows, but they won't tell

But their half-hearted smiles tell me something just ain't right

I've been waiting on you for a long time

Fueling up on heartaches and cheap wine

I ain't heard from you in three damn nights.

I put your picture away

I wonder where you've been

I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him

I put your picture away

I wonder where you've been

I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him.

I saw you yesterday with an old friend

It was the same old same, how have you been?

Since you've been gone, my world's been dark and grey.

You reminded me of brighter days

I hoped you were coming home to stay

I was headed to church

I was off to drink you away.

I thought about you for a long time

Can't seem to get you off my mind

I can't understand why we're living life this way.

I found your picture today

I swear I'll change my ways

I just called to say I want you to come back home

I found your picture today

I swear I'll change my ways

I just called to say I want you to come back home

I just called to say I love you

Come back home.

Love, Be Mystical

OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Myst 3: Exile Soundtrack

 - 12 Theme From Edanna ~

“Love, be

mystical

as the flickering

blue flame

of night

as the fully-awoken

moon

beneath cobwebs

of passing clouds

amidst chanting

high-tides

fuzzy,

as my blanket

big enough

to illuminate a hundred

thousand billion galaxies

and just small enough to fit

into my embrace.”

― Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence

While I am in search for the most terrifying Second Life locations,

my Steppenwolf is always looking for the total opposite.

Tonight, he took me on a beautiful mystical journey at

Thank you my love for such lovely adventure! ♥

It's Purple!

Hello Beautiful World!

Last night I had a dream. However, this dream was very different from any other dream I have

ever had in my whole life. My dream was a single image. I had been asleep for hours, not dreaming

anything at all. Suddenly, I saw a place, almost like a picture, but it wasn't a picture 

and I was looking at it from a distance.

This place looked a lot like New Santorini from Calas Galadhon. Beautiful buildings

skirting a mountain. All pure white with blue trimming just like those in Santorini. However,

the only other color was beautiful big flowers all in a deep purple. The flowers somehow seemed to

glow as if were trying to capture my attention, which they did. They stood up making everything else around them almost disappear. Looking at them gave me a sense of peace and joy since these beautiful flowers seemed to be happy if somehow that emotion is possible to be perceived from a flower.

The angle of my view never moved around or closer or further. As I said before, it was almost as if 

I was looking at a picture. However, from where I was standing, I could see the flowers moving

with the wind. This image that I saw in my dream only lasted a very few seconds, top ten the most.

It was as if I had been in a totally dark theater and suddenly on the big screen an image popped

up for a few seconds and then it disappeared.

When I saw the image all I said was "It's purple!" and I woke up.

I am not sure if I said that when I was still asleep or as soon as I woke up.

But for some reason, I feel I started saying it while still asleep and ended the phrase as I woke up.

And there it was, the answer to my question to my mother.

"Virita, what is your favorite color?"

PURPLE!

This morning I tried to capture what I had seen in my dream last night. So I went to Calas

because I remembered that New Sanatorini looked kind of like the buildings in my dream. When I

first got there I was feeling very happy because I felt my mother had sent me the answer to

what her favorite color was. But you all know how our heads love to play with our thoughts

so while I was taking these pictures, I started doubting my dream. I started thinking maybe it was

nothing and I was just too eager to believe that it was when suddenly this song started playing...

Cucurrucucu Paloma

~ Lola Beltran ~

Not only was that one of my mother's favorite songs, but the singer Lola Beltran was also one of my

mother's favorite Mexican singers, and as you all know, that is also one of my very favorite songs.

I had been at Calas for over an hour and all they had been playing were romantic, old English songs

but just as I began to doubt the beauty of my dream, this song started to play. You may want to call it

coincidence but I prefer to call it confirmation.

In the above picture, I tried to recreate what I had seen in my dream. But to be honest with you,

it's not even close. The flowers were bigger and everything was much more beautiful. Almost

like heavenly. I have become so skeptical about many things in life that many times I may be 

dismissing those miracles that God sent us to help make our lives better and our hearts happier.

Thanks for reading my beautiful people!

Keep your hearts open to the beauty of miracles and never stop believing

that if you ask, you will definitely be answered... somehow.

Much Love,

Lori Novo

❤

Love Me Like You Do

- Ellie Goulding - 

You're the light, you're the night

You're the color of my blood

You're the cure, you're the pain

You're the only thing I wanna touch

Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care

'Cause I've never been so high

Follow me through the dark

Let me take you past our satellites

You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out

On the edge of paradise

Every inch of your skin, is a Holy Grail I've gotta find

Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire

Yeah, I'll let you set the pace

'Cause I'm not thinking straight

My head's spinning around, I can't see clear no more

Oh, what are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do, oh

What are you, what are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Oh, I'll let you set the pace

Oh, 'cause I'm not thinking straight

Though my head's spinning around, I can't see clear no more

What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (Like you do, oh)

Oh, love me like you do

Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do, oh

Yes you, and you, and Yuuu.

Oh Yuuu is already here :P Don't you know three is a crowd? >:(

 Really! Just click the little pic Yes, that one ☜

Actually, he dropped on us while we were dancing and he wasn't the only one.

We had people left and right dropping like flies and for some reason, they all landed on us.

To be honest, we had people rezzing right where we were every time they logged in. No matter

where we moved to, they would appear like bologna between two pieces of bread, get it? :P

Killing The Blues 

- Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - (Live Jools Holland 2008) -

Anyways, sometimes Steppenwolf and I prefer to dance to the beat of our own drum,

in another word, we look for our own music to dance to. Tonight Steppenwolf was in the

mood for Alison Krauss's music, lovely! Both songs here were part of Steppenwolf's night selection.

Thank you baby for the lovely evening.
