You Are A Dangerous Thing


“Love is a dangerous thing. It comes in disguise to change our life...
Lust is the deceiver. Lust wrenches our lives until nothing matters except the one we think we love,
and under that deceptive spell we kill for them, give all for them, and then,
when we have what we have wanted, we discover that it is all an illusion and nothing is there.
Lust is a voyage to nowhere, to an empty land, but some men just love such voyages
and never care about the destination. Love is a voyage too, a voyage with no destination except death,
but a voyage of bliss.”
― Bernard Cornwell



I painted a picture of love on a black canvas.
With bright oranges, reds, and greens, and yellows and blues.
The painting began to take the form of our love.
But before my eyes, with every stroke, my painting began to slowly fade away.
Until there was nothing left...  but a black canvas.

As Sick As The Secrets Within

EXPLORING HAUNTED


Day One
Am I absolutely insane for loving this new dark chapter of the year?
I delight in what I fear.” -Shirley Jackson
This is the time of the witches, vampires, monsters, and everything dark and evil.
That, that hides under your bed, creeping up on you under the covers and whispers in your ear horrifying tales
of what is yet to come. So be aware that the danger of losing your soul is as easy as a blink of an eye.

*WARNING: Strong Lyrics



Who are you? She asked.
Who do you want me to be? He answered.
I can be the end to your suffering. But I can also be the start of it.
I can be the darkness in your nightmares. 
Or the reason your heart is paralyzed with fear.
Tell me, who do you want me to be?

Who are you? She asked again.
I am the darkness that follows you at night.
I am the cold that you feel when you turn around.
I am the hand that is taking you away.
I am inside you, hiding in your head.

Hello Beautiful Second Life!
The above is a little something that I wrote back in October 2022, here.


Welcome, this is <You Are Here> The Wastelands (Moderate), home for the insane.

Sim Description
You Are Here is a rotating canvas of ideas built out on a sim for random enjoyment.
A photo background, machinima stage, creative seed planting. Join to rez props or poses.
Events coming soon Theme rotation Qtrly


As an October tradition, for my exploring haunted places I always like to begin with something
light and not too gruesome and scary and work my way up to the horrifying chillings and killings
and everything that will make my heart stop... or beat faster. 
Either way, my heart can handle the terror and fear, and honestly, I live for this, for the screams
and the excitement of discovering what is hiding or waiting for me behind closed doors.


This old abandoned hospital couldn't be more perfect to begin my October explorations, however,
though it seems abandoned, you will discover that some of the patients have refused to leave
and now haunt the long, dark halls and patients' rooms.
But really, I find it scarier in the haunted subtly of an old building rather than a very theatrical one.
I don't need a ghost-infested building for it to be super haunted. There is more eeriness in the quietness
and loneliness of a dark building where what you can not see is what terrifies you the most.

I can not see you but I know you are there.
I can feel your presence taking every step I take
walking right beside me.
I can not hear you, but your silence is very loud
that it hurts my ears, filling me with fear.
Knowing you are touching me, breathing down my neck.
Screaming weeps of pain. Laughing wicked laughs.
I can not see you.
I can not feel you.
I can not hear you.
But I know you are there.


Hope you go and check this place out. Sunny and I had so much fun exploring the hospital
and its surroundings. I really think we are to a very good start with our haunted places explorations
this month, I am very excited this year. Maybe we'll run into each other one of these days
while exploring some creepy location, who knows!
Day one.
It is only the beginning, “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” -Ray Bradbury
Have a good night and sweet dreams everyone! BOOUAHAHA!!

Night Settles On My Head

 SPONSORED by LODE


Night settles on my head
like a cascade of dark and flowy water.
To honor the departed love, 
that can never be forgotten.
She lives in my heart,
my memories, and my smiles.
Consoles me from the sky, when sadness shadows for a while.



Good Morning Beautiful World!
You might not have noticed yet but a few days ago I started wearing black hair most of the time.
It is this month of September that I celebrate my mother's birthday, rest in peace. So to honor
her memory, I decided to wear black hair like hers. Her black hair was just one of the many
physical attributes that made her one of the most beautiful women you could ever meet. And I am not
just saying that because I was/am her daughter. Her beauty was noticed by many and she was
often told that she looked like a movie star. As far as I can remember, I was always in awe when
I looked at her. Sitting on the floor as a child, I remember looking up at her as she brushed or fixed her
hair and I would be totally mesmerized. And as an adult, my admiration for her beauty continued.
There was never a day that I can remember that my mother didn't look stunning.
Her hair was always beautifully fixed, she dressed elegantly and her face didn't require anything,
she was naturally beautiful, still, she wore very little makeup, mascara, blush, and a little gloss on
her lips. Now her hair she never grew it too long like mine. Hers was always a bit below shoulder
length but it was always beautifully fixed.

It is good to remember my mother and write about her, even though it makes me cry, but it also makes
me smile. So you can just imagine me sitting at my keyboard right now as I type these words
with tears in my eyes that make it hard to see a clear screen but with a smile from ear to ear. ;)
I don't mind at all crying a thousand tears for my mother when she is sending me a thousand
heavenly smiles to smile every day.

Thanks For Reading!
Much love,
Lori Novo

Say My Name

SPONSORED By KUNGLERS





I invited a storm to come into my soul
and now my mind is not my own.
Of sleepless nights with restless thoughts,
I can no longer recognize my feelings.
They belong to the firing winds
that like tornadoes pull me away
from the ground where I was standing.
They torment me and arouse me,
like burning flames I get lost as they consume me.
They pull me closer and then push me away
In confusion, I do not know where I stand.
Hush your name, I shall not say
it should forever remain that way.
Now my mind is a stranger's home.
where now I am just a guest.

Yay? Nah?
Thought I write a little sentiment to today's song Di Mi Nombre (Say My Name) by Rosalia.
I don't really know if today's writing qualifies as a poem, but either way, I had fun putting together
these words. Actually, I have been very tempted to write stuff like this and short stories for some
of my blog posts. We'll see.

Now, I was inspired to write the above "poem" by some of the song's lyrics, "Di mi nombre
cuando no haya nadie cerca" (Say my name when no one is around). It is easy for me to think of
something to write just by reading a sentence. I try to get into the feeling of what has been said,
the hidden emotions that can be found between the words, and then bring those emotions into
something that has some similarities to the original, but adding differences to make it my own.

Steppenwolf accuses me of reading too much into words, which is true, I can't deny it. I guess
since I love to write, words are very important to me and I can see more in a single word than some
people would. Not sure if this makes any sense. For example, one night Steppenwolf and I were
having a little argument, can't remember what it was about, anyway, he said something in
a six-word sentence and just from that simple sentence, I came up with a whole scenario that took
me three long paragraphs to write as a response to what he had just said. He couldn't stop
laughing after I was done typing and said, "Geez, you came up with all that from what I just said?"
The thing is that I tend to analyze every single word individually in a sentence and can easily write
a whole theory for each word being said. Maybe not a good thing to do, I know.

Anyway, I am enjoying the beautiful weather we are having in my little corner of the world, 
with cloudy skies, beautiful rain, and nice cool temperatures. What more can I ask for?
Have a beautiful one everyone and remember to embrace all that makes you happy.

Much love,
Lori Novo

Which Way The Wind Blows?

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE


The sky got dark and so did the day.
Then the rain came down harsh and strong,
pouring like a cascade.
The grass and flowers seemed to be drowning away.
The wind picked up, bullying the trees,
branches kept falling, sad broken limbs.
Thunder and lightning filled the sky. 
It sounded like a Fourth of July,
had gone wrong.

They say don't be afraid. 
Even the birds will be singing again 
once the storm passes away.
I smiled and thought, what a thing to say.
Don't you hear them, they continue to sing in the thunderous rain.

Then the sun started shining, and the blue sky appeared.
The birds shook their feathers and continued to sing,
and that is why those little beings, are heroes to me.
-Lori Novo




Song Lyrics

"Follow, follow the sun
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done

Breath, breath in the air
Set your intentions
Dream with care

Tomorrow is a new day for everyone..."


Oh God! I am not going to lie. I am super sad. My Steppenwolf left today on a long vacation
to Europe with his brother. They will also be sailing on a ship around the top of England
and Ireland. Sounds so exciting, I know. ;)  Hope I got that right. :P I am already missing him so much
but he made me promise that I would stay happy.

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): love yu my spanish Princess
Lori Novo: muahhhhh
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): dont be sad baby
Lori Novo: I am sad baby and I am gonna miss you so much
Lori Novo: but I understand baby that this vacation is very special for the both of you
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz
Lori Novo: I want you to have fun with ur brother
Lori Novo: and stay safe
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): baby promise me you will be happy
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): and not be down...

And so I must stay happy, especially happy that my Steppenwolf has this wonderful chance
to create very beautiful memories with his brother. Just thinking of the fun they will be
having together makes me smile. Love you baby!
