NOH8 CAMPAIGN SL™

While I was reading blogs I came aross a website called NOH8 CAMPAIGN SL™. Please go check it out and look at the beautiful way they are silently protesting.

LIVE AND LET LOVE

After reading the NOH8 CAMPAIGN website I talked to some of my friends and we all TP'd over to the Cupcake sim. They jumped on a pose stand, put on their tattoo, wore their ducktape, slipped on a white top and let me take their pictures. My friends ROCK!
(( BIG HUGS ))

Here is a collage of our pictures.



Why don't you take a trip inworld and check out the
NOH8 Gallery. I think it truly is beautiful. Love the idea and am happy we participated.

STAMP THE YARD

The Summer Choice!2009 Official Creators Stamp Rally is currently going on until August 31, 2009.

Checkout the webpage I've linked above for more information. It's really easy and they give you instructions on what you need to do. I've been collecting Summer choice cards off and on during the month and getting my stamps on free time. I just finished another batch of five this morning. I didn't want my time to run out and miss out of some of the great prizes. During this years stamp rally I've collected about half the prizes and I'm completly happy. This was fun and I'm glad I was able to do it.

The first time I went on my stamp collecting run Basil came along with me. He took half of my cards and we TP'd all over the place. It was nice to have company while doing this.



After we collected all 16 stamps on our cards it was time to go to the hall of prizes.



There are some really great prizes if you complete your stamp collection. There are houses, hair, skin, picnic sets, clothes, avatars, and flowers.



I was jumping for joy at the end because after Tping to all 16 stores for the stamps. I was so happy to be finished and also to have our prizes. *Giggle* I love doing these sorts of things. It's original and creative and makes you feel like you have a mission to complete. It sort of goes hand in hand with my Hunting addiction. *Smiles*

I FOUND LOTS OF TOLIET PAPER

Last night I umm...how do I put this...
I went on a Hunt for Poop & Toliet paper. *Giggle* And I wasn't the only one who was looking for it. Festivale is having it's annual hunt. It certainly is one of a kind and original.




They really did decorate the sim like sh*t. *Giggle* The crap was everywhere but so stylish. Oh my, I can't stop laughing while writing this. Little piles of poo with bows on top of them held gifts for you and there are also toliet paper rolls with prizes in them. The trees on one side of the sim looked like a toliet paper war had just happened.



The sim was full most of the night and there were so many people looking for all the crap prizes. Hee Hee! While I was on this hunt I couldn't stop laughing and thinking, Oh My Gosh the things we do. I even plurked about this while I was on the hunt and some of the comments just make me laugh even harder. When one of my friends asked me, "Did you find the throbbing poop yet?" I spit out my water while laughing! Which also reminds me that I never did find that one. Humm....it must have been hidden really well.

I had fun and I hope you make time to go look and enjoy this hunt! *Smiles*

LOVE THURSDAY - BASIL NOT JUST A SPICE

I love spending time with my Basil. He is my best friend in the whole wide world. He understands me and knows me better than anyone else. He can read a look on my face, he can hear my feelings in my voice and he knows just the right things to say to make me laugh, feel better or just puts me at ease. I love hanging out with him.



Our friend Ranger told us about a really beautiful place called
Wanderstill, Ode~An Immersive Art Experience. So on Wednesday night we took a trip out exploring together. Something we haven't done in awhile but really needed to do. It was so beautiful there and I really think everyone should take a trip over to see the romantic field of flowers. There are couples dance balls all over the place so take a walk about with your special someone. *Happy sigh*



Basil and I talked alot tonight about our SL experiences and what we would like to do in the future. He's such a good listener. I am one very lucky girl. *Smiles* As we were walking around the field of flowers I noticed a merry-go-round and just like a little kid I jumped on it to play. Of course Basil made me laugh and jumped on with me. Such a trooper!

CRAZY GOLF CART DRIVERS

Last night I had so much fun! Boss came over the house with a new vehicle he bought. I don’t know where he got it but I’ll find out if you’d like to know. He rezed his new four seater golf cart. At first I was like, “well that’s neat” I thought I’d take a ride around the island with him and we’d move on. But then he turned it into the hoover flying golf cart. Whoo Hoo! Very cool. What I thought would only take a few minutes turned into hours of fun!

After a few trips around the island we noticed that my neighbor Ranger had just logged on SL. We flew over to his front yard and asked him to join us in a spin around the island. Boss copied a golf cart for Ranger and after many permission snafoos and alarms going off, we finally had Ranger roaming around the land in his golf cart. I’m not going into detail about how many times he fell into our duck pond. *Whispers three times*



My land has too many obstacles so we decided to be rebels and jumped the property line and crossed over to Alicia’s wide open play area! We were riding all over the land trying to break these golf carts in. They make weird funny sounds, what I like to call the school bus driver back up beep noise or also called the garbage truck back up beep. When the carts crash it sounds like two cars hitting each other. I never did crash my cart, well maybe… once…more like 100 times. *Giggle* Bumper golf carts is now one of my favorite driving sports.



It started off pretty neutral, just driving around the land trying to navigate around each others golf carts. But then Ranger made the comment, “Women Drivers”. I was shocked…because actually I was the best driver. *Giggle* So after that it was ON!! I think I chased him all over the land after that trying to flip his car. I’m not a rage driver I was just umm… having fun. Hee Hee.



While we were running around the land I saw Alicia was inworld so I IM’ed her to come play with us. The guys were picking on me…and I needed someone to share the fun with. She came to join us and helped divert some of the flips and crashes away from me. We laughed on voice and had a good time.



As I was watching my friends be silly, I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. You really have to be there to get in the goofy mood with us but it’s so much fun to hang out with friends doing crazy new things.

HOME HOME ON THE RANGER

Friends in RL & SL are such a blessing to have in one’s life. We are happy to report that we have a new resident living with us on our land. Our dear friend Ranger Farshore moved into our guest house last weekend. We made him his own little piece of paradise on the front corner of our land. It’s nice to have our friends close. The really cool thing about Ranger is that Basil and I know him in RL also. He’s a very down to earth sort of person with an easy going witty personality. Ranger started his SL adventure a few months after Basil and I. He heard about all the adventures and misadventures that Basil was having on SL, which convinced him to create an avatar and join the SL party. Ranger's first house was at a place called SIP's Cafe, where Basil also had a house. After about two months, it was time for a change and we convinced Ranger to hang out at our guest house.



He has been the model resident, never any loud parties, and he always keeps his place clean *Giggle* Such a nice person to have in our lives. We told him "Mi casa es su casa".



I’ve also saved a room in the main house for another RL friend who we will introduce to SL next month. Antony will be visiting Basil and I in September and that’s when we will help him get started with SL. We think this might be just up his alley. *Smiles* If he does enjoy SL we have reserved a room for him in our house. So maybe soon we’ll have a roommate. *Smiles* Good things to come. More friends to hang out with and surround ourselves with. Life is good.

THERE BE ZOMBIES

I was on a hunt for stones when I TPed into DooDads @The Hotel Dare. Then all of the sudden I was running for my pixel life. *Giggle* Zombies were coming down the street coming after me. Yikes!!



I love to hate those scary undead movies like Night of the Living Dead, 24 Days, Dawn of the Dead, and you can't forget Shawn of the Dead. They scare me but I can't help but watch them. This is what these Zombies reminded me of. Made me pick up my little avatar sneakers and run away!



I finally escaped them and climbed to the top of this building to see what they were doing below. I know I'm one of those girls in the movie that you yell at. Don't go in there! Run the other way girl! I'll be happy to report I didn't lose my shoe while running away. Hee Hee. And I did TP away and continue with the hunt. Just for kicks you should go visit the zombies for a sec make sure you have you running shoes on.

A NIGHT ON THE TRACK

While exploring tonight we stopped by Neo Streams to look around. Then I walked outside the store and found a GO KARTS race track. I know I know I'm so not dressed for racing but who cares! I race in heels that's how I roll. *wink*



Of course I had to race! I'm so competitive!
I got my red Go Kart and zoomed down the race track.



They weren't that hard to control and I was thankful for the race barriers because without them I would have zoomed away from the track and into the water! Yikes! Hee Hee!



The race track was great! With bridges and ramps and pull off pit stops for those broken down cars that couldn't keep up with me. *Smiles*



I so would have won the first race if I didn't stop to take this picture. *Groan* Why oh why does my photography side somehow overcome my competitive side. Geesh I need to work on that. *Giggle*

I'VE GONE DUCKY

While I was exploring SL today I came upon some ducklings on a pond. They were so adorably cute. I checked right away to find out who the creator was and Tped to the store called Animania Island. I had so much fun looking around at everything they had to offer. I was almost tempted to get a hummingbird but stuck with the cute quackers.

Here is a picture of my new flock.
A momma, a papa, and two babies.



I haven't named them yet but I will. I had so much fun today creating my pond and finding just the right things to go next to it. I even put a couples bench and a couples log next to it so I can watch my ducks play while sitting with my loved one.



It was a great Friday! I created my pond and placing it's new family in its blue waters. Quack Quack!

LOVE THURSDAY - TATTOO ME

I love how you can do things in SL that you can’t or don’t do in RL it’s what keeps things interesting and exciting. In RL I don’t have any tattoos on my body. I was tempted my senior year of high school and actually did a bunch of research about what I would like and where I would like to have one. But once my father got wind of it he sat my two younger brothers and me down and gave us a speech that I would never forget. The phrase that sticks out the most and I quote it still today to my friends, “If you ever should decide to get a tattoo on your body while living under my roof, I’ll slap it off you.” After that talk with my father my brothers and I went for a hike in our Arizona mountains and talked about what my father said. And we all came to the same conclusion that he meant what he said and decided it wasn’t such a grand idea to get a tattoo. And to this day none of us have tattoos even my US Marine brother. My father is the sort of man you listen to, respect and love. We’ll all go over my parent’s house, tell stories and joke about it now that we are all adults and remember things like this. After we retell this story my father keeps saying he doesn’t remember saying that but there are three of us against one on this fun fact of memory and we remember it very well. *Smiles*

So when I was shopping and exploring SL I noticed a lot of people have tattoos. I was really interested. I saw stores all over and freebies. One day while walking down a boardwalk there was this girl in front of me with one on her lower back that was pretty with a black heart and some swirls. She TP’ed away before I could ask her where she bought her tat I was really bummed.

That very night I was hanging out with friends and I told Boss that I was on the look out for a new tattoo because in SL I can do that. Hee hee! And he asked what kind I was looking for. I told him what I liked and even showed him a Googled picture of what I was looking for. Little did I know at the time that Boss makes tattoos. *Dancing happy dance* I was elated when he passed me one that was a beautiful colorful butterfly for my lower back. Then the next day I had another one from him that said “Bella” beautiful in Spanish. Awwww right? And my absolute favorite that he has made me is the “Giggle” tat. I’ll show you a picture so you can really see how great he is to me. And for all my friends who know me….that tat is SOOOoooo me. Yes *raising hand* I do giggle a lot in voice and in text. I can’t help it. Since then he's made a few more, a symbol for the back of my neck that means “Beauty” another symbol for my back that means “Mom”. One night while we were at an 80’s club dancing he asked me what my favorite flower was and he made me a peach rose for above my breast. He spoils me. *Happy sigh* Here are some pictures I'd like to share.

THE AMAZING LEGENDS OF CHINA

I love exploring SL. It's one of my favorite things to do. I heard about this place called Legends of China and I decided to go visit on Tuesday night.



It was beautiful and the music that welcomed me set the mood of the whole trip. Upon one of the steep hills is where I learned to charm a snake. *Giggle* I don't care for snakes but this one loved me. Hee hee!



There was also a romantic sky ballroom at the top of one of the mountains. Take your sweetheart over there and dance with them. *Smiles*



I loved my visit and I'll be back to explore again soon.



I'm so glad I have someone to go exploring with. *Smile*

MY MIA AMOR

I would love you all to meet my MIA AMOR.



I adopted her Sunday night from ZOOBY'S. She's a girl Beagle and I just adore her. *Smiles*



I showed her around her new home and we talked about what I was going to name her. I think she likes it. *Giggle* I hope she does because I do.



I'm still learning how to take care of her but she seems very easy going.



After showing her around the place we took a rest on my dock and just relaxed by the water. It's so nice to have her around. *Smiles* I'm one happy Lolita.



We're girl talking here about MEN. I just broke it to her that she can't have any boyfriends. I think she took it well because I got a kiss on the face. *Smiles* I'm sure you'll see more pictures of her soon. I can't stop taking them.

I'M GLIDING AND IT'S SMOOTH

Oh yeah!! I've got a hanglider! I took it out for a spin around the island and I had so much fun. Even if I did crash into every tree I own. *Giggle*



I've parked it on the roof of my house so I can take it for a spin whenever I like.



I'm going to have to stage a race with my friends now to see who can glide the fastest. Hee hee!



I would never do something like this in RL because I'm too chicken. *Giggle* I'm so glad SL lets me do these wild and crazy things within the safety of my own computer.



I found this hanglider at Bora Bora Wave Labs. Sweeeeet!

I MET STINKY AND HE DIDN'T SMELL

I've been talking to my friends about my search to adopt a pet. My idea inspired one of my wonderful friends Steven to adopt a pet too. I went over his house the other day to meet his new pet. Please meet "STINKY" Stevens pet chimpanzee.



Isn't he cute! I saw him while I was out looking at pets! I thought he was adorable. I'm so jealous of Steven! I'll adopt my pet Sunday night. *Smiles*

LOVE THURSDAY - FLUFFY PILLOWS

I love pillows. *Giggle* I can't have enough of them around my house and in my inventory. I love how just with a little click you can be relaxing, laying down, kissing, holding someone, reading a book, or eating popcorn.



One of my favorite stores is Pillow Talk. I've got quite the collection from there. *Smiles*



And who doesn't just love cuddle pillows for you and that special someone. *Happy sigh*



When I'm thinking or AFK I like to just relax and unwind with a pillow on my sofa.



And these two pillows are some of my favorite because of the way they make me feel. Just very peaceful...






I also love pillow fighting too. *Giggle*
