I'm The Bad Guy?

Writing this for a friend of a friend. Winks.

“Bittersweet? No, just bitter, the taste of your tongue.

Words you can’t have back, so they linger.”

― Coco J. Ginger

Dreamer

~ Uh Huh Her ~

Could it be possible that while she thought she was being good, she was actually the villain in the story?

That had to be it!

What else could it mean when people gathered and discussed her in such a negative light?

But it was confusing to her; those same people smiled at her and proclaimed love and devotion to her every day.

They screamed to the world how sweet and wonderful she was and how lucky they felt to have her in their lives.

But behind her, away from where her ears could hear, it had been a different story.

There was no kindness in their words when her name was mentioned. They took turns ditching 

dirt at her and burying her under their betrayal...

“Often people that criticise your life are usually the same people that don't know

the price you paid to get where you are today. True friends see the full picture of your soul.”

― Shannon Alder

⟣❤♥♡♡❤♥♡♡❤⟢

"But..." she thought, if they had so much to say about her, they surely must have their reasons.

And sadness and doubt begin to sink in. The realization of discovering that perhaps she had been the

bad guy all along, just like in the scene in the 1993 American action/drama film FALLING DOWN,

 starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall, when William Foster (Michael Douglas)

realizes that he was actually "the bad guy".

*By the way, one of the best films ever, in my opinion, and one of my top ten scenes from a film.

"I'm the bad guy?

How did that happen?"

Yes, with their words, doubt was implanted in her head about what kind of person she really was.

And sadness began to sink in, making her want to run away, away from them and never come back

If there was only judgment in their words, why would they still want her to stick around, right?

“Let them judge you.

Let them misunderstand you.

Let them gossip about you.

Their opinions aren’t your problem.

You stay kind, committed to love,

and free in your authenticity.

No matter what they do or say,

don’t you dare doubt your worth

or the beauty of your truth.

Just keep on shining like you do.”

― Scott Stabile

But she was stronger than they were, stronger than their words and their judgments,

and instead of anger, all she felt for them was sadness...

"Poor, poor friends. Don't they know that words are more hurtful than punches?

Punch me in the face and leave me with a bloody broken nose. That will heal with time.

But your unkind words will be tattooed in the deepest part of my heart and stay

there forever. Even forgiveness can't erase them." And the trust she once had in them. won't ever be the same.

Thanks For Reading!

“There's a strange sensation you start having at a certain age:

Scarface - The World is Yours

Hello Beautiful World and a Happy Tuesday to all!

Today, Sunny and I come to you from a very beautiful location, small and cozy, and very inviting.

Welcome, this is

Autumn at LeLoo's World Mainland HQ (Moderate)

"Step into a living postcard this fall, where crimson and amber leaves drift lazily through the air,

blanketing winding paths that whisper with quiet charm. Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll, a

scenic photo op, or simply a moment to unwind, this autumn wonderland welcomes you. Come sit a

spell and soak in the vibrant colors, crisp air, and cozy atmosphere that only this time of year can offer."

This is a place where you can't get lost because of how small it is compared to other Autumn locations. 

But it is exactly that that gives it its charm. You will find many great locations to make beautiful

memories and take great pictures. It is there that I found a beautiful sign (First Picture) that

really made me smile.

What a beautiful reminder!

Indeed, the world is yours. There is a whole world waiting for all of us to enjoy and explore,

and watch the seasons march by, always bringing new hope and new beginnings.

The world is mine, yours, ours!

No one can take that away from us, not a single tiny piece. Never walk away from who you are or what

is yours because of others. Stay firm and strong and protect and claim what is rightfully yours.

The beautiful sign that inspired me for this post was created by hive. You can also find it HERE, in the

MarketPlace for 200Lindens. Three versions included. I should say I often find something 

so beautiful in the sims that I explore to bring back home with me. Souvenirs that I add to our home

and will remind me of my visits to beautiful lands. This time was this sign; other times have been

animals, plants, home decorations, etc. It can really be anything.

The “The World Is Yours” quote originates from a scene in the American crime drama film Scarface (1983).

written by Al Pacino and Oliver Stone, and directed by Brian De Palma. 

Scarface - "The World Is Yours" Scene

This scene actually gives me chills every time I watch it. It shows the very moment he realizes

that he has made it out, the definition of a dream, a war, finally reached and won. This movie is hands down one of

my favorite movies of all time. Absolutely legendary!

"One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history for its symbolism."

-yashvardhansinghsolanki6391

Al Pacino's Scarface film is a remake of the 1932 film, based on the 1930 novel by Armitage Trail,

and it tells the story of a Cuban refugee.

Scarface Official Trailer #1 - Vince Barnett Movie (1932)

Now, I am sure“The World Is Yours” quote may have been used in other movies as well, not really sure.

But for today, I want to make it all about Al Pacino (Alfredo James Pacino), age 85, American actor,

well known for his intense performances in some of the greatest films ever made, earning him many awards.

(Standing Ovation!) 👏

This is all for now my beautiful people.

I thank you so much for your visit today and hope you enjoyed your stay.

Continue to have a most wonderful day and enjoy YOUR world, that is 100% rightfully yours!

I leave you now with some of Al Pacino's best quotes. 

Much Love,

Lori Novo

 OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

I've been under the weather and not feeling well for some time now, so I haven't been blogging as I was

so excited to do at the beginning of the month. In the meantime, as you can see, I have been relaxing,

not worrying too much, and just enjoying my husband's company. That is the reason why I've been only posting our moments together for now. Hopefully, soon I'll be up and running around with the help of

my doctor, keeping my fingers crossed. ;)

Today, Steppenwolf surprised me with five horror films he got for us to watch. I know how much

my husband hates these types of movies but he is willing to sacrifice himself in the name of love,

that means the world to me. Thank you baby!

Tonight we made it a movie night and we watched The Conjuring.

The Conjuring - Official Main Trailer [HD]

"Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, "The Conjuring" tells the

horrifying tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called

upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a

powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives."

Lori Novo: hold me baby, I am scared :(((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): me too :(
Lori Novo: :(((
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): pulls the blanket over my head :(
Lori Novo: pulls it off your head and pulls it over mine :(
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): haha

We sometimes have small, loving disagreements over the movies we watch.

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): nonsense
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): RI didn't have witches lol

Lori Novo: omg my babyyy, it's just a movie, not a documentary! :P

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): lol

Just relax my love and enjoy the movie!

Here's the true story of The Conjuring.

Barbie Girl

~ Tori V ~

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

I didn't get to go to the theater to watch the Barbie movie as I wanted since I wasn't feeling well.

I was more like on the blue side around that time, if you know what I mean. ;) I even had my pink

outfit ready but instead of dressing up in giggles and pink bows, I ended up in hell, dressed in running

mascara and like a nun, all in black, but sexy,. Ok, not like a nun because there is no such thing

as a sexy nun unless you are watching Steppenwolf's weird movie Nuns With Big Guns. :P

Anyway, not too long ago a friend told me he wasn't into the Barbie type when I asked him what was

his type of woman. But really, aren't we all like Barbies and Kens in Second Life?

We get to play dress-up with our avatars which by the way we created amazingly beautiful and

gorgeous. I don't know if you have noticed yet that I messed up my blog again when I decided I wanted

a sexy-looking blog, and what can be sexier than red? Just like SL F&O Blog which looks

pretty damn sexy to me. What do you think, yay or nay? The part that got messed up was the text font

that I had before and now I don't know how to get back. Now I have like three different fonts

going on and I hate it! GRRRR >:(

 

OOPS!

What is this AI picture doing here? GET IT OUT, NOW!

Hold your little horses everyone, this is not the only AI picture in this blog. I do like playing

around every once in a while with some of my pictures just to see how they would look in reals.

While they improve the image by a lot, it also changes the image in many ways which is something 

I hate. Not only do the facial features change drastically but they also change everything else. Not

recommended for designers or fashion bloggers. I strongly believe that designers shouldn't use AI

for their advertisement ads or bloggers in their fashion blog posts since is deceiving in some way

the customer and readers from the true quality of the product. That is what happened to me when

I saw the following ad;

When I first saw it I was very intrigued by the beautiful face on the tummy. It looked so beautiful

that I was Oh My Wow! I wasn't sure if it was part of the romper or not. I thought it was too pretty to be

just a tattoo since it appeared not to be flat. Then I thought maybe it was an add-on prim or simply, an

added image outside of Second Life to cover the private part. So my curiosity took me to check out

the item. Unfortunately, the ad didn't give much information just Pink Outfit With Boots, and there

was not a demo available to try. You know how much I hate buying items that do not offer a FREE

demo to try, but my curiosity was too much and I needed to know, so I bought the outfit for 60L at

:::Q&A::: (Moderate). It was then that I realized it was a romper and not a dress as I thought, and

that indeed, the beautiful face was part of the garment. Though the quality of the face didn't look

like in the ad, I wasn't disappointed. It still looked beautiful to me, thank God. Then I noticed it

included a HUD with 20 other choices and the boots, sleeves & garter. Really, what a great deal for 60L!

I can combine the beautiful boots, which I loved, with other outfits, plus the sleeves I can

add to some of my other clothing. I did however have problems with the HUD working on some

selections, especially for the garter which is the reason I am not showing it here. But I am sure the

designer will fix/replace it once I get in contact with him. But overall, I absolutely love this beautiful

outfit 100% even though I feel lied to when it comes to the true aspect of the item.

Now, the AI photography that you can find here on my blog, I do for fun and never to represent at all

the items that I am featuring in my posts. That is why they appear in smaller sizes somewhere in

the blog posts, bottom, middle, and even on Read More. Only a few times have I made them equally

in size as my other pictures like today, but that is when I need to make a point.

So please, please designers, no AI on your vendor pictures and if you must, please provide

FREE demos for people to try. Thank You!

Hello Beautiful World!

Welcome, this is FOREST by Cica Ghost (Moderate)

Did this really just happen?

I asked for an eerie place that still had a touch of sweetness and my location search took me

straight to the darkness of Cica's forest where everything feels and looks dark and dead.

It pretty much reminded me of a dream I once had about darkness, dead trees, pain, a lady in white,

and a body of water. Here, you can read about my dream, it is pretty creepy I must warn you.

But going back to Cica, she has created the perfect location to photograph my dream.

But really, about Cica's new location, I was expecting to see some of her cute-colorful creatures

pop out from the darkness, so I was prepared so I wouldn't get startled. But nothing happened.

After a good thirty minutes of waiting, Sunny and I decided to go in search of them behind the hills

but they were nowhere to be found.

However, our search was worthwhile. As we were about to give up, I looked up to the sky

and noticed a faceless couple floating like dark clouds with tentacles and holding some stupid signs. :P

Not as in stupid stupid but as in stupid cool.

They were, Kitten L'Bean (jayde.askari) & Ulf L'Bean (ulfnir.winterwolf)

Hands down my favorite couple of the day! ♥

By the way, do you remember when I said "Sunny will never leave me or break my heart or...",

well, that continues to be proven to be a fact. However, Sunny is no longer my faithful pet companion.

He is now my son! Yes, you heard me right, a son conceived from love. From this immeasurable

love that I feel for all animals. And since Steppenwolf has never wanted to have any children that

makes my Sunny fatherless like me. But really, who needs a father when the mother can 

handle both roles remarkably. Unless Steppenwolf decides to adopt my Sunny as his own son, which

I seriously doubt it. :P

"My babyyyy TE AMOOO!

you are the most wonderful man my love.

Take me to Tempura tonight and tell me more Chinese poetry my baby. ;)

MUAH!

Your Milkyway P.S."

And that's what we'll probably be doing in a few minutes. That was one of my texts to my

Steppenwolf today. And for those of you wondering which movie we watched this past Friday...

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

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: 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

Lori Novo: mm I thought you said it was ok to do it, they are being edited as we speak

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.

Hello Beautiful World and Thank God It's Friday!

Welcome, this is ASTRAL  DREAMS (Moderate).

Sim's Description

Since 2008, Astral Dreams offers everyone a space to better enjoy their experience in the metaverse,

with ever more refined settings and increasingly careful themes. Now in a wonderful Steampunk

version, where you can find friends, music, sympathy, and love.

Fridays are movie nights for Steppenwolf and me. Tonight we'll be watching one of my favorite movies,

2007, Love In The Time Of Cholera. A super romantic film based on the novel El Amor En Los Tiempos Del Cólera

by Colombian's Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez..,

Love In the Time of Cholera - Official Trailer

It going to be an epic night for sure with such masterpiece to watch.

For me, tonight it'll probably be the 20th time that I watch this movie, and for Steppenwolf his first time.

I just really hope he loves it just as much as I do. ;) I highly recommend this beautiful movie.

I place it right next to The Notebook which is another one of my favorites.

Time to go now but before I do just want to share some news with you, guess who has a fan club now?

No, it is not me, I am not that popular. :P

Need a hint? How about several?

Barks, licks, jumps, fetches, sniffs, and wags his tail.

Yes, my beautiful Sunny now gets his own mail from his fans, how about that? ;)

I am thinking about making a page sometime in the blog just for him to share his mail with you.

Thank you for stopping by, so much appreciated!

Much love,

Lori Novo

The Loaf Of Bread

Last night it was my turn to prepare dinner for Steppenwolf and me.

The plan was to eat dinner while watching The Godfather film, starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino.

THE GODFATHER | 50th Anniversary Trailer | Paramount Movies

"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."

-Quote From The Godfather

So first thing in the morning, I went to my favorite grocery store, Junk Food,

to get all the ingredients I needed to prepare a delicious and very romantic dinner for us.

1. Loaf of Bread

1. Jar of Peanut Butter

1. Jar of Jelly (Grape Flavor)

1. Pack of Cokes (My Favorite!!!)

by [lilp] Butter & Jam Set

After grocery shopping, I made a few stops before heading home...

I carry my groceries all the way from India to France and even to outer space.

I even took them dancing to LAS MUCHACHAS CLUB.

Finally, it was time to go back home to wait for Steppenwolf at the end of the day...

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): hi baby

Lori Novo: holaaa

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz

Lori Novo: I got us dinner baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): haha

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): te amo

Lori Novo: muahh

Lori Novo: te amo back :))))

Lori Novo: I been holding this bread all day long so it might be a little bit sweaty

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): LOL

Lori Novo: :P

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): love you MIlkyway

Lori Novo: muahhhhh

Lori Novo: the cokes are hot too

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): oh my what's a texas girl gonna do?

Lori Novo: hot cokes and sweaty bread

Lori Novo: but the peanut butter and jelly are ok

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): what a lovely combination

We began the movie but for some unknown reason Steppenwolf didn't seem to be hungry

and so we finished the movie with me still holding onto my loaf of bread.

Lori Novo: baby don't forget I got ur sweaty bread here

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): mmm i'll eat it later

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): smiles

Lori Novo: ewww lol

Mmm, I wonder if he's really going to eat it... He has sucked my toes once in the past and didn't mind

my smelly sweaty feet since I had been walking for hours in my sneakers and with no socks on...

That is the beauty of love my friends! I leave you now with one of the best The Godfather's quotes...

"Leave the gun, take the sweaty bread, I mean, the cannoli."
