#37 ~ Wuther my heart follows...

The Fashion
I figure that I would try messing in PS to see what I could do. I really don't like to manipulate the photos I take in SL for the mere fact that I do think it takes away the rawness of it, but sometimes - the work that I see is amazing. And yes, I want to do so as well. So I just messed around.

Did it change the colors a bit? - Yes
Did it alter the skin, clothing and hair? - Yes
So will this look like this in SL? - No...but I'm telling you this now. Everything I wear is still beautiful, even in raw form.

The colors of Patina....

For Luna's 52 Weeks' of Color Challenge: My version was a quick hop over to the new store Entente where I lagged myself along with a few others and grabbed a few things for the girls...(from what I hear there will be more!) I had hoped to find something in my massive inventory on Katy (the avi I tend to use a lot for my pictures), but since I had been at the new store, I felt it only best to show off the new duds.

#22 ~ Flicker...

The Real
The position was giving away. Back to the drawing board. I really hate being without a job. To someone that has been working since she's been fourteen years old - not working is a little weird, and not satisfying. I will keep my fingers crossed and keep plugging.

The Paradise
I haven't been rping lately. It's mostly been managerial things of late. We're only two weeks in. Eventually I will rp. Until then...stay tuned. Stories to come.

The Fashion
SL Art...I tried back a bit ago with windlight settings a couple years ago with Dou, when I went to Bentham Hollow to fool around.

Again, I step back into Bentham for The Menagerie - Theme 1: Beautiful Losers

Was a flicker, light

Rushed fast and pressed

Wings seemed hurried, churned

Breasts were heavy

Arms did cradle, empty

Thoughts spastic

Ideas made, answered

Realism sets in

Hand over stomach, full

Early morning cocktail

Holding hands, tight

Juice and crackers ate

Tears soothed, late

Empty beds did make

Strained emotions, tossed

Memories all but lost

I told myself I would read more of the blogs this week, meaning I would go through a lot more and look at them, view the pictures - see what others are doing and maybe learn something new. After all, we learn from each other to make our own way.

#5 ~ Bombs away...

The Real
Again I waited until the last moment to write. Not that I meant to, but it kind of just happened. Today was busy running around doing errands with my mom, getting ready for her and my dad's vacation, teaching my twenty year old brother to drive (yes...he's twenty..a late bloomer), and having to drive to campus to drop off things to the other brother, who doesn't have a car. I sometimes wonder if I'm just another "mom" in the making. Sister sure, but caregiver.

Tomorrow they leave for a week, which means that for a week, the youngest and I have the place to ourselves. Which means - no one to watch over my head. I kinda miss that. I miss living by myself. I've done it for so long, and finally when I moved back home, it felt so weird living with people again. Constantly having people walk in and out of my room at will. Looking over my shoulder. Questioning on what and why I do things. I had been so used to my own embodied closure that I am not used to the openness of having one snooping at my work. Especially on what I do at times. Even while I read.

It's annoying for sure.

I do wish they had a better craft beer selection down here. I'm craving.

The Paradise
Four more days.

Some things got set aside. Busy time on the forums, and we got some more applications. I had to laugh a little as I read some of them. Don't get me wrong - people are allowed their own devices and stories when roleplaying. This is THEIR fantasy. But it's a trip to read and see what some do think of. It makes you wonder why some get labeled as they do. It's all relative.

I still need to write up the Blue Lotus' background. Urgh.

The Fashion
SIMS!  Love finding a really nice sim and then...why do they always put a piece of silly prim in the middle of it to completely ruin the whole ambience?

At world's end...

I am silly in love with mesh.

Strangely enough being in SL for these past five years has shown me a lot. I've seen the clothes take form from so many different angles that right now - mesh is almost so life-life it's almost too real. I can almost touch it at times.

I quickly just hopped over and picked up the demo at Celoe for the new Zoe Pumps. I haven't tried them on yet, but I will when I log back in. Right now, I just want to write and procrastinate. Maybe dream a little dream. Prior to that, my cohort and I were just idling on sim - the sim we'll be opening in less than two weeks to the public. A sim that we've spent almost two months preparing for our enjoyment. I wonder when it opens my love again of fashion will be tossed to the wind and I will forget, or worse...let go...

Studying with Santa...

The GRE book sits open..the GMAIL calendar display is idle on my screen...upon screen...upon screen. I should get myself in order, but my mind is a mash of mix emotions that I can't even get intuned. Intuned. *checks to see* Entuned...no...intune...oh fuck it. Spelling has never been my best. Grammatical errors abound! That's what my marketing research professor stated over the semester. Great works - the discussions were wonderful, but the slight grammar errors. I write quite well, he said.

I'm trying hard to think. I really am. Rock bottom hurts. More so lately, cause I'm not sure where I am going with a lot of things. It's the "woe is me" angle I'm guessing. Back during the reign of MySpace, blogging used to be such an outlet that I could just write to my hearts content and people would read and people would comment and we'd have a little ball and that's where we'd go to get our woes and whatnots out. Now I wonder who will read this modge podge of stuff that is tossed into a blog. So random.

I will sit here and make up a calendar that will be the outlet that designs what I will do for my GRE. My GRE will allow me to go to graduate school in the fall to pursue my MBA. It's to better my life. To succeed, to advance. To make something. That's it. To be ... at least something. That's all we really want. Don't we all?
