The hardest things are always said last… ( going on hiatus ).

As I push the 100 and something blog post threshold I feel myself losing interest. Perhaps it has a little to do with how hectic/busy my rl has gotten since this semester’s began. Like for example, I took pictures last week and I am not entirely satisfied with them but, I figured to achieve the ‘looks’ I want, I’d need to dedicate more time to the process… more time, which, I certainly don’t have.

So, what’s the basis of all this? Is it a subtle hint into the near future? Maybe… because, as it is this year will be an eventful one. I am graduating in the summer and making plans for grad school or pursuing a second degree. I’ll be leaning towards the latter but, I am certain my performance by the end of this semester will be the defining factor all around.

Oh, and not to mention, I’ll be moving in less than a month. Now, not to put my entire reallife out there because, I’ve always strived to maintain a certain amount of anonymity but, I think it is important everyone who cares understands the reasons behind my prolonged absences hence! the explanation…out of respect mostly… Because, I just think it’s rude to disappear without a word and not to the mention, the speculations that might arise as some people have no problem blatantly impersonating others ( e.g the never ending copybot crisis and the things in between) ~ of course, that’s another story for another blog post.

Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed my short ado about absences!. When I am officially back, you’ll be the first to know!

and as always,
xoxo

Video :: Heartbreak warfare by John Mayer
Lightning strikes
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?”

If I had a heart.

So when I get into one of my dark moods, I throw a bunch of things together to express my mood, then take pictures. Does anyone else do that? Enjoy.

Hi. I saw that song on someone’s profile. It has been a while since I’ve listened to it and I just found it funny how it indirectly applies to at least 80% of what’s going on in my life right now. I think music just gets me.

Lately, I’ve been obsessing about taking decent pictures when I do my blog posts. And, after a long interval since the last time I used Kristen’s viewer I was a bit clueless. Luckily there are people out there who are skilled and “in-the-know” with this viewer and what it does!. Take for example Vivica B.’s awesome tutorial on youtube where I picked up some great tips for the following pictures. Also, if you are curious about the kristen viewer visit Kristen’s website and give it a test drive. http://www.kirstensviewer.com/ . Here’s an example of a neat trick it does!. ( remember NO PHOTOSHOP INVOLVED-except the text of course).

When you get into preferences go to GRAPHICS then ADVANCED and under MISC check the box next to Toggle DOF effect. After that, drag the bar near Camera Focal Length mm to at least 300 ( you can play around with the other numbers as well). Then click OK and focus on your avatar (alt + click on your avatar). And Viola! suddenly you have Depth of field!. ( Click here to see original size )

On to the look of the day. My fierce outfit made possible by Gspot ( I’ve blogged about this store a few times and her outfits are always worth it ).

Indestructible

I am absolutely in love with this outfit, it has multiple layers ( some of which are not seen in these photos) and the belts/ clasps/ and shoes are incredibly highly detailed. Once, I put it on I couldn’t stop drooling. Well done! just wow!

Video :: Disturbed – Indestructible.

Indestructible.
Determination that is incorruptible.
From the other side.
A terror to behold.
Annihilation will be unavoidable.
Every broken enemy will know,
That their opponent had to be invincible.
Take a last look around while you’re alive,
I’m an indestructible master of war.

You’re a firework now, let your colors burst?

I met someone today who asked me about one of my posts and wanted to know if there was an irony behind it. I laughed and admited this was the case. Much of my inspiration stems from experience and random situtions.

Today, this faun/unicorn look apears to be the perfect anecdote for my latest cripted message. I believe ‘being different” should be embraced. But, never compromise your dignity to seek sympathy for your differences or short commings, real or fictional. Be true to your “weird” “crazy” “sexy” boring” self -whatever it may be- and make no apologies for it! . This obviously doesn’t mean I am literally a unicorn-even though I would like to be- but you get the point! Be yourself people!! we’ll love you more for it.

Now on to my look for the day.*does a prance, a gallop and spins around*. Yes, yes, I am enjoying the moment. I love those hooves!

Video :: Katy Perry – Firework

“Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gunna leave ‘em fallin’ down-own-own
You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced”

Dreaming about providence.

I’m in the mood to dress up like a mutating faun and prance around sl, join me? =) . I hate to be an attention whore but, I get really pouty when I log in and none of my friends are on!!!. Where are you guys? *makes a puppy face*. Some of what I am wearing today you’ve seen before, others are some items I discovered while milling about my inventory.Look at that panda!!!!! >.< so cuuuuttteee. Remember when hooves were in style or something and EVERYONE had one? For some reason I wasn’t into them then but, I got these ones anyway because they were so realistic looking and had a certain cuteness factor to them. Kinda glad I did.

Switchfoot – Meant to live

Your mama warned you about…

Girls like us. We smoke pipe, tattoo ourselves with literary quotes and read the paper after spending hours at the library studying Morality in Ethics. We are loads of fun but never spread our legs till you’ve recited a sonnet inspired by Shakesphere while a breathtaking piece of Mozart played in the background because, intelligence turns us on.

Hello world!, Yes, some of the above correlates to my rl but, I really don’t smoke pipe though, this adorable one created by Lady Leonard owner of ::LEO-NT:: makes me want to. Could be because of that little itty bitty bird on the rim. Poor birdy, I am sure the smoke will be hazardous to it’s health.

Anyway, dear friends, without further ado, here’s what I was wearing.
