Whenever I'm alone with you...

“Tell me again what you said,” he says, climbing over me, his body against mine.

“What?” I can barely think.

“That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.”

“I hate you,” I say, the words coming out like a caress. I say it again, over and over.

A litany. An enchantment. A ward against what I really feel. “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.”

He kisses me harder.

“I hate you,” I breathe into his mouth. “I hate you so much that sometimes

I can’t think of anything else.”

― Holly Black

Lovesong

- JES -

My body is written in a language that only he can understand.

A burning fire that only he is capable of taming.

My desire is not for the pure pleasure; my desire is for him,

for his fire, love, and devotion.

I crave him, I need him, I want him, always him and only him.

My Steppenwolf.

Te amo baby!

A new round of the COSMOPOLITAN EVENT just opened two days ago, and I just had to pay it

a visit before this round ends on June 21 (Gallery). I absolutely love how this event is set up.

Easy to navigate, not like other events where I can easily lose direction of where I was going.

I remember when many, and I mean many years ago, when Cosmopolitan first opened its doors,

it was just a small room, it was then called The Cosmopolitan Room. It was so small that it was

hard for me to really comfortably navigate my cam inside its walls. I had the honor of becoming

part of the blogger team for many years. Unfortunately, I lost my spot when I became ill and had to

take some time off, and on my return, I discovered that there were no second chances. My spot was

already filled and I was never able to get it back. I was really heartbroken to be honest.

But oh well, Cosmopolitan continues to be one of my favorite events, which I try to promote from

time to time in the blog. ❤

I found six items that were my favorites from this round, like the new hair from no.match, NO_AUTOGRAPH.

It is absolutely beautiful and probably one of my favorite hairs in my inventory.

A must to get for sure! ;)

Below are the six items I fell in love with.

Thanks for your visit, have a great day!

Laurel's Nightmare 2022 ● The War Of The Worlds

ROOM FOUR

“I was no longer a master, but an animal among the animals,

under the Martian heel ... the fear and empire of man had passed away.”

H. G. Wells

War of the Worlds Theme Tune

Oh boy, this is a good one!

Welcome, this is

The War Of The Worlds

(Moderate)

Hello Beautiful World!

And so we continue today with another room. This is room four and I got to say,

I am so excited about this particular one.

The War of the Worlds (1953) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

War of the Worlds (2005) Trailer #2 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

War of The Worlds, is one of my favorite films. This is a film that I love in either version 

(1953 or 2005). I remember the first time I watched the 2005 and I was at the edge of my seat

from beginning to end. My heart beating so fast and just loving every scene.

Though I been loving every room that I already covered, this one has to be my favorite so far.

As soon as I walked in my heartbeat started to raise and I truly felt as if I was in the movie.

The room has been amazingly set up. It right away gives you a vibe of action and thrill.

Hope you like it too.

And with every room, I hope to be able to share with you something scary about my real life.

Today is no exception. However, what I will be sharing tonight is something that happened to me 

just three days ago.

It was around 11p.m. and as I made my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water,

I entered the dining room that leads to the kitchen, and I heard like a small ball bouncing

behind my footsteps, you know, like following me. I stopped and looked back but there was

nothing there. So I proceeded to walk away and I heard the bouncing again, right behind me,

very close to my feet that I could almost feel it. I got my glass of water and as I headed back to my

bedroom, it happened again. At this point, I stopped to turn on the light to better see if something

was on the floor, but there was nothing.

Our dining room is a very big room, I could seriously set a table that could sit twenty people

if I wanted to. We rarely turn on the huge chandelier there because it is just too bright, so it is always

very dim and only faintly illuminated by the hall light. Also, that is one of the rooms in our home where 

we have experienced numerous supernatural activities. I'll share with you more about this in the

upcoming Laurel's rooms.

So we are on to our next room and I am seriously dreading it is not the one that covers my biggest

fear when it comes to scary movies. Remember, when it comes to horror, there are only three things that

have really scared me. If our next room is the one I fear the most I'll just skip it or stop there and

return tomorrow when the sun is out and shining. :P

Can you guess what could be my biggest horror film?

Over & Out Beautifuls!

Much Love,

Lori Novo

“Oh, he did look like a deity – the perfect balance of danger and charm,

he was at the same time fascinating and inaccessible, 

distant because of his demonstrated lawlessness, 

and possessing such strength of character that he was dismaying 

and at the same time utterly attractive in an enticing and forbidden way.”

Day at the Library

Save me, O dear Lori !

Hello Beautiful World!

Please meet my new friend Mark Weinberg whom I am starting to believe is my silly twin.

I think we both have the exact same sense of humor and I love it.

Yesterday he made me laugh so much that my jaw and stomach were in pain, I just couldn't stop 

laughing. He really likes to goof around as much as I do and it's been years since I had felt this

comfortable around someone that will play along with my silliness.

Mark is not only the perfect match for my goofiness but he's also a true gentleman, sweet and kind.

He's actually the friend who sent me a beautiful gift the other day and that I promised to show you all

this week.

During the whole time, we spent together yesterday, he kept my Steppenwolf in mind...

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I wanted to show this place to you.

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): You can be here with your Steppenwolf and dance

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): and let me show a place for you two

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): This is a table for two :))

Lori Novo: omg this is so beautiful

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Watch sunset, sip on champagne and talk sweet :))

Lori Novo: tysm for sharing :)

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): It will be much more beautiful with your special man :))

Lori Novo: for sure :))

See what I mean?

He is very respectful of me and my relationship with my Steppenwolf something that many

men don't do. I appreciate and admire this so much from him and I am sure my Steppenwolf 

does too.

During these hard times due to COVID-19 and everything else that is been going around the world, 

it is good to find ways to continue enjoying life with as much laughter as we can get. I don't mind

goofing around as long as I am happy and laughing and having someone else there with me to share

this laughter with, this gotta be the best, I am telling you!

Mark has not only given me one beautiful gift, actually, he's also given me two other ones that I cherish

like gold, that is, all the laughter that he brought to me yesterday and his friendship that I hope lasts

for a very long time.

What continues is the story about our visit yesterday to The Looking Glass Library.

As much as I love to write, I will let this story narrate itself using our chat.

It is funny, goofy, and very long I warn you but well worth reading. ;)

Our goofy encounter started on Tempura Island...

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): welcome to Tempura

Lori Novo: ty :))

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I found a nice place at the top to keep an eye over the whole place

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): The thing is, I am scared of heights and this dinning hall 

doesn't have a perimeter wall ... lol

Lori Novo: you gonna fall

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Sssssh, don't scare me

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Hmmm, these dance balls, they don't work without two people?

Lori Novo: some don't, they don't work even with 2 ppl

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): ha ha

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Threesome I guess, family affair

Lori Novo: yeah, you need the auntie and a close cousin to dance

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Ha ha

Lori Novo: lol

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): At least this one works, but I am on the edge .....

Lori Novo: i am telling u, you gonna fall

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): and I see you down there

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Save me, O dear Lori !

Lori Novo: lol sorry can't do, I don't want to fall too :P

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): omg!!! You too scared of heights

Lori Novo: yup, I mean, of course I am not!

Lori Novo: look, there's a girl on the bridge's roof, she's not afraid

Lori Novo: I think she wants to save you

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Damn, she is courageous. On a sloping roof she is wearing heels

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Or is suicidal

Lori Novo: lol

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I will roll down the other side, hopefully I choose the right side 

to roll down

Lori Novo: fall in the water, I just hope u know how to swim

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): that was scary, I tell you, my heart skipped a beat in real

Lori Novo: lol

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I don't see you joining me on the rooftop, 

because you are NOT scared of heights !

Lori Novo: ok ok, TP me I'll show you that I am not scared at all

Lori Novo: but if u TP me and I fall off I'll be coming after you

Lori Novo: so u better run

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Nah, I won't let you fall

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I don't want the wolf coming after me because 

her lady broke her legs

Lori Novo: lol

Oh, you better believe it!

my Steppenwolf will crush every bone in your body if anything happens to me while I am in your company:P 

After rescuing him and bringing him down safely to the ground all the people in Tempura kept cheering

"LORI IS A HEROOOOO, OUR HEROOOO, 

SHE'S THE GREATEST HEROOOOO, EVERRRRRR!"

Thank you, Thank you. (humbly bowing down),

we, then teleported to The Looking Glass, where as soon as we landed...

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Let me fly to the Library, then I will TP you there

Hold it there mister,  but I thought you were scared of heights...

Mark, did you just lie to me??? >:(

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Check out this place ehre

Lori Novo: omg, how do u find all these spots

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): wanderer Ms. :))

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): I hope you don't hate books

Mark Weinberg (markweinberg): Isn't is lovely?

Lori Novo: it is, this place is amazing

No, Mark, I don't hate books of course not, why would you even say that?

Hold on, did you hear something or someone told you something?

Ok, who went with false rumors and told my new friend here that I hate books?

Was it you in the blue shirt eating Flaming Hot Fritos while sitting in front of your computer?

Or was it the lady with the ponytails?

Somebody must have told this man something!

As a matter of fact, I love books, I love them so much that I love smelling them and sometimes

I even go as far as to read them.

Of course, I know how to read, who is saying that I don't?

I know how to read as much as I know how to write, come on people, give me a break... :P

Now my beautiful readers, let's continue with our story...
