"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" he said
"The one that makes me laugh" he said
And threw his arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
"Why are you so far away?" he said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven.

-Song Lyrics

And so it is,
Just like you said it would be.
Life goes easy on me,
Most of the time.
And so it is,
The shorter story,
No love, no glory,
No hero in her sky...

Did my heart love 'til now?

― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet


Did you know that in your arms I have cried so many times,
because when you make love to me
not only do you make me yours in the most beautiful way,
but you touch the deepest part of my heart
that moves me in such a way
like no one has ever made me feel before.

I love you now and forever.

In The Notes Of A Lullaby


“When we die, 
we will turn into music, 
and we will hear each other 
and remember each other.”

Hush your tears my love,
no need to cry.
When you miss me and need me near
you will find me in the notes of a lullaby.

“What's your name?" he asked above the roar of the music.

She leaned close. 
"My name is Wind," she whispered. "And Rain. 
And Bone and Dust. 
My name is a snippet of a half-remembered song."

He chuckled a low, delightful sound. 
She was drunk and silly, and so full of the glory 
of being young and alive and in the capital of the world 
that she could hardly contain herself.

"I have no name," she purred. 
"I am whoever the keepers of my fate tell me to be."

He grasped her by her wrist, running a thumb along 
the sensitive skin underneath. 
"Then let me call you Mine for a dance or two.” 
― Sarah J. Maas

"Why do you smile like you've been told a secret?
Now you're telling lies 'cause you have sworn to keep it.
But no one keeps a secret,
No one keeps a secret."
-Song Lyrics


Hello Beautiful World!
Today I decided to do one of Strawberry Singhs' meme challenges 
and share a few things about myself that you still may not know. 
All that I ask is that you don't judge me because I am so goofy.
This one is from March 21st.

Never Have I Ever Game

1. Never have I ever had sex, in Second Life.
Sex? Never!!! Making love? Many, many times with the man that I love. ;)

2. Never have I ever visited a sex sim, in Second Life.
I have by accident while looking for good photo locations. I never care to check the
description of the sim, so I'd get a few scares. Once I was chased around a sim by a naked guy with a
penis as big as a light pole, It was actually funny.

Never have I ever been an escort or stripper, in Second Life.
No, never! I am more on the convent side I think.

Never have I ever been in porn videos in Second Life.
Never. However, years ago there was a link on Google Search that said something like 
"Lori Novo in Second Life giving a blow***, video." I knew that was impossible since I had not been
sleeping around or anything of anything. I was too chicken to click it so I never saw what that was
about. Maybe it was another Lori Novo they were talking about or just a sick joke.

Never have I ever done things that may be illegal in the real world, in Second Life. 
Yes, I have, once I witnessed more like taking part in a hit-and-run and didn't stick around to help or 
wait for the SL authorities to declare what I had seen. You see, my ex Ocean and I while I was exploring haunted places discovered this adult club where a bunch of naked men and women were having orgies all piled up like in a human mountain. So Ocean went and got a car and drove it into the club while I watched him from outside, yes, I was too chicken to go in there with him. Anyways, he drove over them, around them, under them while I watched naked bodies fly all over the place. And before anyone had any chance to react and lynch us, we escaped. They never knew what hit them!... Oops, now they do! It was Ocean (pointing her finger to Canada).

Never have I ever created an ALT for secret activities, in Second Life.
Of course, I have. Don't we all? I use my alt to spend peaceful and loving time with my SL partner. ;)

Never have I ever had a one-night stand, in Second Life.
Never. Intimacy is something I don't take lightly to use as a simple pleasure. The act of exchanging bodily fluids with a man must have a deeper meaning for me to be able to enjoy it. 

Never have I ever been part of a roleplay community, in Second Life.
Never. I, however, took part in a few RP events & sims as a guest; the coronation of a queen. A wedding of a slave to his master, a vampires' reunion, lived for some time at Kingdom of Sand, etc.

Never have I ever discovered a new fetish, because of Second Life.
I don't think so. At least not yet.

Never have I ever done things in Second Life that I wouldn’t admit to my friends or family.
I like sharing my SL experiences with my kids and my mother, however, there are a few things
I prefer to keep to myself.  Nothing bad, trust me. ;)

Now what I have written here MUST remain a secret between us. 

Thanks For Reading!

Biting Into Water

Featuring
REZOLOGY MESH HAIR


Hello Beautiful World!

Yes, it's me!
I've decided to change my skin for a while and see how that works,
What do you think?

𐄚𐄚𐄚𐄚𐄚𐄚

“The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.”
-- Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990”
― Wayne Fields

Now that I really have to be careful with what I eat due to being diagnosed with Diabetes,
I've been searching for healthy snack alternatives low in sugar. 
My favorite has always been fresh fruits but I had never had any interest
 in getting to know them better like now, 
as long as they tasted yummy, it was good enough for me.


One of my old favorites is the jicama (hee - cama).
Jicama is great for diabetics like me because it has a very low glycemic index. 
It is also low in calories and an excellent source of fiber and vitamin C. 
When people ask me how does it taste like, the only way for me to describe it is like biting into water.
This fruit is very refreshing and crispy and super delicious when you add a little salt and lime juice to it.


Next time you visit your supermarket pick up a small one to give it a try, you never know, 
you might love it just as much as I do.
Don't forget the limes. ;)

Thanks For Reading!

Dream While Secrets of Darkness Unfold

Featuring
BOUDOIR


Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes 

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold.
- Song Lyrics

Within the endlessness of time...

FA CREATIONS & REZOLOGY HAIR


“I'm stuck in the middle
Of the dream and the reality
Not able to tell the difference
Not able to wake up

Did I dream you into my life
Or were you always real
And were you always present
Within the endlessness of time

Something tells me, we came together
A set of dreamers, a couple even,
We're separated by many miles
But we are bonded to one another

I'm stuck in love and I'm really helpless
There is no you to be touched with fingers
But here you are, my dream and my reality
And I touch you perfectly with my heart.”

Fame & Glory

Featuring
PURPLEMOON


Famous
adjective: (ˈfāməs)
Having a widespread reputation, usually of favorable nature; renowned; celebrated:
She's famous in Second Life.

Hello Beautiful World!

Who is considered the most popular avatars in Second Life, have you ever wondered? 
I wanted to find out so I begin to search for the Crème de la Crème list 
of the best-known Second Life residents. According to CNN, Anshe Chung is the main, 
online personality, avatar considered the Rockefeller of Second Life (Read more). 
Unfortunately, my curiosity to find what other avatars had made it to the top took me nowhere. 
I came to a roadblock when all I could find was a list of some names that haven't been updated 
in almost 10 years. Maybe my search wasn't deep enough and that list is still somewhere 
waiting to be found.

But who do you personally considered the most famous avatars you know? 
This may differ from person to person. For me, just to name a few,
 I would have to say that Neva Crystall 
(Blogger / Co. owner of the Shiny Shabby Event / Owner of Neva Estates), 
Giz Seorn (Gizza / Owner & Designer), 
Poulet Koenkamp (Purplemoon' owner & Designer),
Precious Restless & Vitabela Dubrovna ( Boudoir's Owners & Designers),
and my favorite SL photographer, Cypriss Hill who is on top of my list.

Then, I took my search in a different direction.
Which famous people from real life are also residents just like you and me in Second Life? 
What I discovered was really exciting to me, in Jo Yardley (dated back to 2014) 
you can find a very interesting list containing some names of very famous real-life people 
like Tony Dyson (creator of R2-D2 for Star Wars / RIP), Drew Carey (actor & comedian), 
band members of Duran Duran & Pet Shop Boys, Daft Punk, Mia Farrow
Dwight Kurt Schrute III and Yoko Ono just to name a few. 
Keep in mind that this list was dated back on 2014 and though at the time, 
most were still known to be active in SL (and alive), this has changed for some of the names now. 
There were also unconfirmed rumors that David Bowie (RIP), Lee Ann Rimes, Ricky Gervais
Sharon Stone, Steve Jobs, Tim Burton, and Will Smith were around that same year. 
But who knows how many more RL celebrities walk among us incognito every day.

Would you like to be one of the famous avatars in SL? 
Fame and glory just like in real life are possible but it requires a lot of talent that you can obtain 
by true dedication and heart and why not, a bit or a lot of luck as well. 
Here "How do avatars become famous?" general discussion forum 
you can read some of the SL residents' tips on the subject.

So now that we had walked down the red carpet of SL 
and got to know some famous names, all there is left to do is to wish good luck to those 
that want to continue the walk to stardom. 
As for me, I prefer to keep a low profile and live a peaceful Second Life.

Thanks For Reading!
