Raise A Glass

I’ve had this scene set up for this picture for about a week, I finally got the girls pinned down. Then it only took them three hours to finally get pose ready. Lo & behold, we take the picture and now Stef moves quickly. She finishes editing and posts hers straight away. You can see her version here, she did such an amazing job! It took me a bit longer as I’m still learning photoshop, but I’m finally happy with the result.
We genuinely had a blast, but I’m pretty sure I’m the only one in this photo wearing the outfit that I actually picked out for NYE. *laughs* These girls keep me in stitches and I can’t think of a better way to bring in the New Year than laughing with my squad. So, to everyone celebrating the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, I raise a glass. Happy New Year to you all and I sincerely hope that this year brings us all the love and laughter  we all desire. ♥

Looking too closely

This is a song about somebody else
So don’t worry yourself, worry yourself
The devil’s right there, right there in the details
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
By looking too closely
By looking too closely
No no no no…

Put your arms around somebody else
And don’t punish yourself, punish yourself
The truth is like blood underneath your fingernails
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
By looking too closely
By looking too closely
No no no no…
No no no no…

You don’t wanna hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself

And I could be wrong about anybody else
So don’t kid yourself, kid yourself
It’s you right there, right there in the mirror
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
By looking too closely
Mmmmmmmm
By looking too close
Mmmmmmm
Yeah…..
Looking too closely
You don’t wanna hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself
By looking too closely

Treat or Trick?

Here we go…into the season of delicious treats and calories galore. Here in the U.S. its all about the gluttony. We’ve got candy everywhere for Halloween. Then there’s an endless array of traditional dishes for our most gluttonous holiday of them all…Thanksgiving! Luckily for me, I just made a major lifestyle change a week and a half ago. No more crappy foods. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my fair share of delicious junk food over the years. I won’t be missing out on anything except the calories and toxins in those foods. Over the past six months, I’ve watched a friend of mine shift to a plant based diet and she’s done super well with it. That’s not for me, but I did want to get away from the processed foods and the fried foods and all the sugars I was taking in on a daily basis. I’ve already lost some weight and I’ve got a friend doing this with me. It’s exciting to compare recipes and discuss how different we feel physically. When I saw all the amazing treats tha were presented at Salem this year, I knew I wanted to take a picture of someone sneaking off to eat the bad stuff. So, here it is…me celebrating the season.

I’ll meet you in the stairwell with the goodies!

A Cryptic Message

“There might have been a time
I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn’t give a damn
But now here we are
So what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Yeah, it’s plain to see
that baby you’re beautiful
And there’s nothing wrong with you
It’s me ‘ I’m a freak
but thanks for lovin’ me
‘Cause you’re doing it perfectly

There might have been a time
When I would let you step away

I wouldn’t even try but I think
you could save my life”

Recycle Me

I think I’ve written about my knee replacements in the past. Honestly, I’m not sure. So, there you have it, both of my knees have been replaced. So, there’s plastic and metal in both my knees now. No, I haven’t set off any metal detectors as of yet, but I do have a card for each knee to carry with me in the event that I do. With that said, I was thinking to myself the other day, “I wonder if they have considered using recycled plastic or metal for these parts.” I’m going to guess they don’t, but can you imagine? I mean, the way we’re tapping the resources of our planet as if she’s going to provide for us for eternity….it might be some day that replaceable body parts are made from recyclables. Then when we die, they reclaim those parts to recycle again! Jussayin! It could happen! I’m pretty sure my grandmother would never have dreamed of the day that people were having sex with robots, but that day is here!

So, my futuristic look is rather complex and I wanted to make sure you got a good view of it all….so there’s more photos than normal, but I’m not that hard to look at….am I?

Wicked Woman

I’ve wanted to do a photo like this for quite some time. To combine a beautiful, classy dress with a mask or something dark. I wanted it to be sexy, but not overtly sexy. I didn’t want to look like some sort of succubus, but something that might confuse the viewer a bit. So, this DeadDollz dress was perfect with the sheer lace option, the elegant lace gloves, and then I added the Conjuration claws and rings from CerberusXing, but I couldn’t stop there. When I saw the Iron Desk mask from Contraption, I knew I had to wear it with the dress! Things just evolved from there and I’ve finally created my Wicked Woman!

What it Feels Life

You know I can see all the things that imply you secretly are in love
And finally when I let myself fall hard for you I
See you trying to pretend like I’m making it up
This is what it feels like”

I’m Offended

April Fool’s Day has come and gone. It’s the one day of the year that we’re expected to relax and expect bad to epic pranks. I’ve seen all sorts of prank wars on YouTube between couples that are far more tolerant than I would ever be. I’ve seen women smashing Xboxes….those things are freaking expensive! Let someone bash in my PC as a joke! I don’t care if they had a backup or a brand new better PC….that’s cash money, yo! For years, I’ve pranked my mother by claiming to see a spider somewhere near her. Hell, I even did that shit over the phone and she still feel for it. Yeah, she cusses me out every year, but that’s how I know I got her.

There are certain pranks that are just classics, especially now with most people locked into social media. People will announce they’re getting married, divorced, a new job, pregnant, car crash, etc. Now, rarely does anyone fake a death or some deadly disease, but when they do its usually someone famous and they can get away with it. Now, most of these jokes are so common that I hardly even find them amusing, unless presented in a very unique way. What I have not witnessed until this year (doesn’t mean it didn’t happen) was someone getting so bent out of shape over a public prank on social media that they took it upon themselves to rant about said joke and how it offended them. Naturally, there were people ready and willing to jump on the offended bandwagon. To be fair, there were also a handful of people defending the offensive joke.

Here’s the the filtered tea. The joke was a pregnancy announcement. Several people fell for it and that made it funny to me. The person offended apparently couldn’t have kids or had recently lost a child during pregnancy. I honestly can’t remember the details, because the comments on both threads had my head spinning. Eventually, the joker, being a truly wonderful person, resended her joke and apologized to all of FB. Thus, the offended, also a wonderful person, took down her rant.

Ok, so here’s why it bothered me. I honestly don’t get why this was so offensive. I can’t have kids. I had two miscarriages, but swore I’d never try again. I couldn’t deal with the idea of getting my hopes up and losing another one. I absolutely hate the very idea of baby showers and I refuse to go them, because they upset me so badly. Just receiving an invitation can make me cry sometimes. However, I would NEVER lash out, publicly OR privately, over being invited. I wouldn’t dream of making it about me. I simply accept it as part of life and decline the invite with one excuse or another. I don’t even tell them that real reason I can’t go is that I’m not mentally stable enough to sit through someone else’s joyous occasion because it triggers so much personal pain. Hell, I’ve had to endure work baby showers that sent me to the bathroom to calm down. So, to rain all over social media because an innocent joke triggered you? Well, here’s the thing…once that shit is out there, people have seen it. I guarantee someone has a screen shot of it and friends were lost over this stupid joke. Now the whole world knows how sensitive you are and how easily you’re triggered….and quite frankly, it made a mountain out of mole hill. We as humans have got to stop being so easily offended. We can’t take everything so personally. I personally find it exhausting and I understand that sometimes stuff bothers us deeply, but not everything is meant for social media. It simply creates a rift between people that wasn’t necessary. So, please, if you’re truly offended by someone’s behavior….perhaps you should approach the person offending you, but take sometime to think it over. Is this something that offends you personally? Was the offensive thing aimed at you specifically? I mean, just think about it. Most of us are adults, let’s start acting like it. Because quite frankly, I’m offended by every Tom, Dick, and Sally walking around with chips on their shoulders just waiting to be offended so they can rant all over social media about it. So, there…your overt sensitivity offends me. How you like them apples? (and ffs, don’t take this as a direct assault…it fits a gazillion scenarios….I think both women are beautiful and amazing, it was just one of those things, ya know?)

I’ll be on the roof smoking, let me know when its over.

Should I Stay?

“I’m a good girl in the dark
I’ll rip right through your beating heart
Should I stay?
Or should I go?
Push it deep down, don’t let it show

Maybe I’m done?
Fade away like a memory
Maybe I’m done?
Lose yourself, feel the energy
Maybe I’m done?
Fade away like a memory
Maybe I’m done?
Lose yourself

I’ll be a bad girl, Valentine
I’ll burn into your dirty mind
Waiting is the hardest part
Fake it ’til I break you into little pieces
You will be my work of art
I’m caught in the physical
How long can I keep on hanging on?”

Oh Hi!

Oh hi there, you caught me roaming through an abandoned house on Borneo Isle. I was especially fascinated with this old piano. I always wanted to learn to play, but it wasn’t in the cards. Not sure who brought in the fresh sunflowers, but they certainly brighten up this dusty old space. I’ve never been big on sunflowers, but my mother like them. Everytime, and I do mean EVERYTIME, she sees them she tells me how my grandmother had them growing along the back of their yard like a fence, when she was growing up. Anyway, this little house that I stumbled across has plenty of photographic spots inside, not to mention the plethora of choices on the rest of the land. Go check it out, the link is in the credits below. ♥
