Yet Forever Apart

FLICKR

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it.

And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are.

There cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time.

How would it feel, I remember wondering, to be always together yet forever apart?”

― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

GREAT PROFILES

Die With A Smile

- Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars -

Hello Beautiful World!

Welcome to another GREAT PROFILES blog post, which is well overdue. By this, I don't just mean how long

it has been since I last wrote in this category, but also that I had saved all the information and pictures

for this particular one since last month. Now, the long wait is well worth it since this particular profile is

really a very good one. We all love a good profile for sure, especially if it is completely packed with

funny, inspiring, and/or informative stuff. I remember many years ago when I read a profile that made me

laugh so much, even to this day. The profile belonged to a lady who was in the company of her partner.

In her Second Life section, she talked about her connection with God. It truly described a very devoted

religious woman. Of course, I said "awwww" after reading all the holy words she had written in that

section. Then, I moved to her Picks, and I was in shock. Her first Pick was a warning to all women to

keep their eyes off her man...

"You F*uck off bit*hes!, this is MY man. STAY AWAY, and don't even look at him or I'll be fu*cking

pulling your eyes out. so F*CK OFF!"

Yes, this is more or less what she said, just not as bad as it was in her profile. Then on her next Pick, she

shared how, with God's light, she had rescued a little bird and was so thankful for that blessing.

Then again, on her third Pick she was back to the %&#$*@#% for all women, warning us to stay away

from her men. I guess she felt the need to keep reminding us, just in case we would forget that the man

belonged to her. LOL! :P And for the rest of her profile Picks she kept bouncing back and forth from the

holy hallelujahs to the F*uck off bit*hes! It was just so funny, I tell you. :P

But moving on...

Please meet Lana (lahaina.jonstone) 

"Independently wealthy, I travel to exotic places and enjoy the best of life....OH.......WAIT!

I mean in SL - I do all that stuff in SL.  ℒℴℒ"

"Enjoying SL: sailing, landscaping, decorating, photography, live concerts,

dancing and, of course, lengthy conversations on the dock until our typing skills diminish."

I met Lana back on December 4 during one of my visits to Tempura Island, and immediately loved her

profile, from beginning to end, when I checked it out.

"For me, SL is an intoxicating cocktail of serendipity,

illusion and karma, topped with a delicate measure of sharing, 

- too little, and no connection, - too much, and the illusion poofs.

★*♫.•.¸★⋰˚ ♡  ℓ∂ภ∂ :

In her profile, you will find so much great stuff that will seriously keep you entertained for a good while

like it did to me when I read it all.

"Happiness, is like the butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, 

If you will sit down quietly, it will land softly on your shoulder."

  

In her picks, Lana shares many great locations to visit, among other things. In one of those picks

she describes how one week in Second Life is for most of us, and I leave you with that.

Thank you so much Lana, for beautifying my blog with your presence and a HUGE hug going your way.

Have a good night, everyone, and sweet dreams.

Day 1: They meet, check profiles, exchange banter, possible cuddles. 

Day 2: One person gets brave, IM's the other. More banter and things heat up.  

Day 3: All hell breaks loose. Profile Picks  fill  with confessions of "empty life before you".

Day 4: Elaborate marriage/ collar ceremony, rings exchanged.

Day 5: He is now "Master/Snookie Bear" she wears "His Bitch" T-shirt.

Tender love expressed coupled with promises of "forever". 

            Day 6: New house furnished, pregnancy joyfully announced (nuff said 'bout that!)

Day 7: Jealousy, huge fight, messy breakup, Picks turn real nasty, and then,  - - - - - - -

Day 8: It all goes back to  Day 1. (see above).

No Happy Endings

"Himmory as they look away to be useful in a better town with lollipops and moon flowers.

it was dark and cold so they giggled and turned around playfully for a good while..."

What in the world?!

That is not what I am reading in this book, but something my little fingers typed when I let my mind

roam freely. I sat down and began to type away with no rules or pauses to think of what to write next.

My mind and fingers were driving at a high speed together in the same car with no brakes to stop or

slow down. I was typing words that came to mind, without really thinking or caring if they made any sense or not.

Now, if it wasn't already bad enough to write a bunch of nonsense, the scariest part is

that I actually enjoyed it. It felt good to my brain to run freely with words and

senseless sentences. It was total freedom of spontaneous thoughts.

A bunch of minutes after, I was eager to see what I had written, because not even I knew really

what I had typed. Most puzzled me. The meaning was so unclear, almost as if it were something in another language.

But no, it wasn't. It was clearly all English words, just not placed in the sequence they are usually placed

or how they are used in sentences. Still, they seemed playfully grouped together in a guessing game

of what the story was about. Still, understanding or not what I typed is not the important thing.

The important thing is that I had fun. It was a good brain exercise that literally made my brain feel 

good. Now I am thinking of practicing this new brain exercise every day, and who knows, maybe in

the process I'll come up with a best seller. Hey, it could happen! :P

No Happy Endings

~ Emma Swift ~

But now speaking of no happy endings...

Unhappy endings in our life stories are quite common. Rarely does anyone marry their first love

or keep the friendships from childhood. At least for me, that's how most of my life's stories have

ended... he/she suddenly poofed into dust... The End. 

Now, while this can be a tragic thing (yes, I am being a bit dramatic here), it doesn't necessarily

mean that while we didn't get to reach the desired destination, the ride wasn't enjoyable, and

beautiful while it lasted. So I have learned to live in the moment and be thankful for what I get

to be blessed with day by day. I have also learned that while I have no control over the ending

of a complete and long story, I do have the power to make it a happy ending each day.

End each page with a smile and a sweet word at the end of the day.

This way, every day will have a happy ending.

And she lived happily ever yesterday, today, and tomorrow...

The End.

♥

Paparazzi 📷 Something Unholy

These are the most beautiful, most interesting, cutest-sweet, and well-dressed avatars

that I encounter during my outings in Second Life.

Unholy 

Sam Smith - ft. Kim Petras

***Warning Video Not Suitable For All Audiences***

"Mummy don't know Daddy's getting hot

At the Body Shop

Doin' something unholy

He's sat back while she's droppin' it

She be poppin' it

Yeah, she put it down slowly

Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh, he left his kids at

Ho-ee-oh-ee-ome so he can get that

Mummy don't know Daddy's getting hot

At the Body Shop

Doin' something unholy..."

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

Hope my song/video choice didn't scare you away and you are still hanging around to meet my new

group of victims that made it to this new edition of Paparazzi.

But what can I say, I am weird like that, and just as I love eating burned popcorn and find

beauty in tears, I also love this type of video, erotic to the max.

But moving on to why we are here for, and that is to meet a new group of people that caught my

attention for different good reasons. They really stood up from the crowd either by the beauty or

cuteness of their avatars, their fashion style, etc.

But before I introduce them to you, I just want to remind you of what I said before about my

paparazzi posts, this is my way of honoring the wonderful people I photograph and in no way

my intention is to be disrespectful. Also, before I continue, I decided that from now on, I will be

selecting one person from the group of pictures I took and giving a little information about that person

The rest of the group will be placed in no particular order.

Left Pic by Lori - Right Pic by Chiki

Chiki (chikita.banana) 

8 Years and 5 Months in Second Life.

Chiki first caught my attention with her facial beauty which I had never seen before in all my years in

SL. on anyone else, She actually looked wonderful from head to toe. However, she is what we call a

Second Life chameleon that is constantly changing looks, and even gender.

"My avatar is basically like a coloring book. I am constantly changing the look, sex,

and sometimes the name of my avatar.. basically based on my mood more than anything else."

How courageous that is, seriously. While for many of us, changing a single thing in our avatar,

like a new skin, head, or shape can be a very hard thing to do, she makes it sound like so much

fun. Kudos dear Chiki! <3 Now, the 1st Life part in her profile had a message that when I read it

I could relate to 100%...

"To my all my sweet Friends...just know ...my plants, my goldfish, and my Sims families all die

of neglect. Not because I don't love them all, you understand, but because I always think they have

better lives than me and would rather be left alone. :-P"

And now the rest of all the beautiful people I had the great honor of capturing with my camera,

Thank You All!

Gentle Waves On An Endless Sea

Hello World!

Please forgive me for not calling you beautiful as I love to do.

But with everything that is going on in Palestine and what still continues to go on in Ukraine,

it makes it so hard to see your beauty. I know it is not your fault but humanity that seems to have lost

its hearts and all its essence of what is righteous and noble. You are our home, our beautiful home, and

with our actions of violence and so little care for humanity, we continue to destroy you, polluting the

air, and the water, bombing whole cities, and killing all that is innocent and pure.

Please continue to pray for peace on Earth.

Water and Sky

~ Sam Garrett ~

Orion Zest (orionzest)

Orion: such mesmerizing eyes, silky long hair, and glowing tender skin you have

Orion: your beautiful soft curves are like gentle waves on an endless sea,

eyes that gleam like stars at night, such a delight to behold you Lori

What beautiful words I say. So poetic and lyrical, almost like a love song that could

melt any girl. Unfortunately, these type of compliments from strangers does not work on me.

Or maybe they do... 

but not in the sense of attraction but simply as good words to collect in my blog as the best

pick-up lines that leave me breathless... sometimes. "Ohhh WOW, that was good!"

Runs fast to pick up a pen and paper to write them down before I forget them. :P

All these types of compliments I get go directly to my "Flirts" section in the blog.

Why? Well... Why not?

They are part of my Second Life journey where I want to document as much as I can

of my everyday experiences, from the smallest to the biggest of things.

One day I am sure everything that I have been keeping in this blog will make me smile, laugh, or cry.

But for future reference and for those men who might be sending these types of compliments my way,

just know, that not only do they not work on me, but they have a repellent effect that makes me

run away laughing but thinking "Ohhh WOW, that was good!" :P

Thanks For Reading!
