DO I WANNA KNOW?

"Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt it's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to..."

MY NOT SO SECRET FRIEND ROOF TOP KISSES

I spent the night hanging out on our roof top watching episodes of The Vampire Diaries with my sweet heart. It was a perfect night. *smiles* I hope you all have a great start to the weekend.

Lolita and Takeo Oleander

"You have loved
You were not alone
You have braved the weather
When the storm cut you to the bone
There was always shelter

My secred friend
I'll take you to the river
My secred friend
We can swim forever

In your skin
To die a little death
This time there's no code word
When everyday frays in hollow ends
Dream sweet love submersive"

REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11


"Always Remember, Never Forget"

Lolita Oleander

I went to a 9/11 Memorial- Always Remember, Never Forget. A Tribute to Those Who Lost Their Lives on September 11th, 2001. World Trade Center, The Pentagon, NYC Fire, Police & Rescue, Flight 93, 11, 77, 175.

I remember September 11, 2001. I had just woken up and I was getting ready for work. I turned on the television for background noise and the news was on. I wasn't paying any attention and then I stopped to see what was going on. That is when I saw a plane fly into the building and I remember thinking, "Wait, is this a movie?" My mom called me soon after that happened and she was crying. I got in my car and drove to work and when I walked into the office everyone was in the front lobby around the television watching the news. It was very unreal. I had a family member who worked near it and it took a day to find out he was safe and alright. I will always remember and never forget. My whole family always prays for all the lives that were changed that day. *gives all my family and friends hugs* I'm thankful to have you all in my life and I just want you all to know how much I care for you. Always tell those around you how you feel. You just never know what could happen tomorrow.

WE'LL NEVER BE ROYALS


"Life is great without a care..."


There is so much pretty new stuff out at the events this month! I went to FaMESHed and Collabor88. This skirt from Baiastice and I had to have all the pretty long skirts. This pretty scalloped sweater is from The Secret Store. I had to add that to my collection of pretty sweaters to wear in the coming cold weather. *smiles* I hope you all are having a great start to the new week.

Lolita Oleander

Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow
Sometimes the wire must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh
We're about to explode

Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Some far away
Some search for gold
Some dragon to slay
Heaven we hope is just up the road
Show me the way, Lord because I,
I'm about to explode

Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world and all your hurt

LIGHTS- TOES: WINDLIGHT MEME

Have I told you all yet how much I love FALL? Goodness I love it so much. I love logging on everyday and watching my SL world around me turn beautiful fall colors. I also love all the new decorations and fall clothes I get to play with. I hope you all have a great start to the fall season! Mine has only just begun. Oh and if anyone has an extra pumpkin garland to this Vespertine gatcha set for fall I would love you forever! It's what I'm hunting for.


Lolita Oleander

Strawberry Singh’s blog meme this week is all about Exploring Second Life. If you haven’t already you should check out her blog HERE. Meme Instructions: Answer the following questions about windlight settings and share some that you’ve created yourself.


1. Do you use windlight while taking pictures? If not, why not?
I always use windlight to take pictures.
2. When taking a closeup snapshot for a profile picture, which windlight preset do you use most often?
When I take pictures I usually take a far away shot and then a close up. I usually keep the same windlighting for both pictures because I don't want them both to look different from the other. For the pictures I took for the blog post I used: !!JUICYBOMB.COM - Chelle's Powder Puff windlight setting.
3. Which windlight presets do you use for full body portraits?
Sort of the same answer as above. I don't take portraits of other people just of myself and for my blog. So the windlighting that I choose to use usually is one I find just by browsing on my windlights while I'm standing on the pose stand. *smiles* The ones I lean towards the most are: Any of the settings Luna Jubilee and JUICYBOMB.COM shared of their windlight settings.
4. If you do landscape photography, which windlights do you use for that most often?
I uses: LunaJubilee shadows windlight setting often.
5. Do you have any tricks or tips that you could share for using Windlight effectively?
I turn on my graphics on high and I love working with shadows. Then I just play around until I see something I like.
6. Have you created any windlights that you would be willing to share with us?
No I've never made my own and saved them. I should make a goal and do that one day in the future.
