Adventures of the New Tits

Ever since I bought the Lola Tango mesh breasts, it has been an ongoing struggle to find clothes that have the applier.  On my limited budget, I tried joining the freebie and MM board Big Boobie groups. I was sorely disappointed.  Thankfully, more of the designers are including the appliers with their items or providing them for some of their older outfits.  I tried this different look (for me) the other day.

I've found some really cute things like this from [AdN], and others from  Envious, and EC.

Happy Independence Day (you dirty whore!)

I wore this for my super celebration of Independence Day.  A few days later, I log in to explore some new and different sims. I change clothes into something more appropriate and conservative for exploring. After some research, I try the Star Trek Museums. Upon arrival, I was booted and notified it was a "PG" sim. The woman tells me her 6 and 9 year old sons don't need to see that.

 *What she saw*

Long story short, I am not allowed to be on SL by myself anymore. I really do need someone to verify that I am 1) rezzed 2) dressed 3) have back up in case a fight breaks out.  Not really on the last part. I was extremely apologetic and felt horrible afterward.

*What I saw* 

Litha or The Summer Solstice

---

The Summer Solstice

One of the four major festivals of the solar year, when the Sun reaches the quarter points on the zodiac wheel. It now reaches the cardinal ("hinge") point of 90B0 as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer, the Crab. For the next month, the side-to-side moves of the Crab are favored in all things. This is more a time to organize of what has been gained, and plan what comes next, than it is either to start new enterprises or dissolve old ones that don't work. The Crab lives where it can jump sideways into an ocean wave when threats appear. Those who have the grace, humility and aquatic skill to do this are favored now. The sideways motion of the Crab is also that of the Farmer, who works sideways in rows to preserve productive order.

Among the countless Summer Solstice celebrations and ceremonies: The Sonnenwende ("Sun's turning") of the Norse calendar, so named because at this point in the year, the Sun reaches its farthest northern sunset point on the horizon, and must now begin moving south, and bringing with it the hotter, more rapid movement of Summer, and everything else that the South implies. The season of husbandry begins now in bonfires that mark this day as the one when the Sun's light stays longest in the Sky.

In northern Russia, especially in St. Petersburg, this day begins the White Nights, which last for the next ten days. In this and other fire festivals that can get more raucous than most, fireworks and all, many people love the days of the Long Light because this is the best time to burn the chaff and the worry of the year gone by, and get ready to work the field under the waxing Sun, and care for children.

In the Celtic calendar, this day is called Litha, and honors the water goddess. Many European peoples also honored the Green Man, leafy symbol of nature's resurgence, counterpart to the Egyptian Osiris.

In some Native American calendars, this day begins the Month of the Flicker. Hunting is easier than it usually is.

Taoist festival honoring the Heavenly Emperor Shang-Ti and celebrating the active presence of the Tao in all things. This is the time when the masculine Yang force is at its peak, and initiates the season of fire, south and Summer.

In many ancient calendars, this is one of the year's best times for honoring Wise Women. In the Greco-Roman calendar, this was the Day of All Heras (Roman counterpart Juno, for whom this month is named), when people gather to listen to women who have achieved spiritual Union with the Great Goddess. In ancient Britain this was the Day of Cerridwen, celebrating all Wise Women.

Among the Lakota and other Native Americans of the plains, the days before the early summer Full Moon are the annual time of the Sun Dance, a festival of fasting and healing ceremonies affirming the manifestation of Takuskanskan the Creator in all things.

In many different traditions lighting a candle is a sacred action. It expresses more than words can express. It has to do with gratefulness. From time immemorial, people have lit candles in sacred places. You may want to begin or end your day by the sacred ritual of lighting a candle on this gratefulness. Or you may want to light a birthday candle for a friend. One single guideline is all you need: Slow down and do it with full attention.

Descent

Keith asked me to play Warhammer with him back in July 2010. We're still waiting... Meanwhile, he is building an interactive game board for he and I to play Descent.  This photo was taken June 14, 2013 for prosperity. Let's hope it doesn't take 3 years to play!

Mechanomonkey Sex. That's how we roll!

 Things got a bit out of hand (as they often do) with Kumani and I last night.  

 Our conversation drifted to sex and limits. Kumani challenged me to fuck a monkey (which wasn't much of a challenge at all given my loose morals).  

She put on her Mechanomonkey avatar, Keith threw down a sex rug and kindly videotaped the activities.  I laughed til I cried.  It's surprising DavidMichael didn't log in. He tends to sense these things...

Profile Pic

I was long overdue for a new profile picture.  I am too damn cheap to pay a photographer and have zero skills in Photoshop so what I take will have to do.  (And yes, I know I have hard lines on my tits and cheeks).

A few months back Kumani posted a wonderful image to my Facebook wall that has stuck with me.  I used that as my inspiration for my new profile pic.  It said, "You can pray for me and I'll dance naked in the forest for you."

Here are some of the images I took:

New Beginnings

Kumani purchased a new homestead. She graciously allows me and some of our friends to stay there, occupying her sacred private space, free of charge.

I attempted to edit the terrain for her, failed miserably, then fucked up even worse.  I texted her, let her know what I had done, and she laughed. I'll try to fix it eventually.  We will most likely wait for Krista to log in eventually and fix my fuck up.

The image above is Rick, myself, Laini and Kumani taking in the peace and quiet just minutes after Kumani purchased the homestead. No neighbors and no lag is a rare blessing in SL.  

Full Cold Moon

• The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon – December

 During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.- Farmer's Almanac

The lycans must be out in force tonight! This glorious full cold moon brings out the wolves! I might just scratch someone myself and drink in the moonlight. Anyone wanna roleplay? 

Full Beaver Moon

• Full Beaver Moon – November 

This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon.- Farmer's Almanac

This is completely different than Amethyst mooning us with her Beaver. 

Enjoy your night under the moon and perhaps deep in someone's beaver or someone deep in yours! 

Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween!

"A gypsy fire is on the hearth;

Sign of the carnival of mirth;

Through the dun fields and from the glade

Flash merry folk in masquerade, 

FOR THIS IS HALLOWEEN!"

 Have a very blessed Samhain to all our pagan friends! 

Full Blood Moon and Blood Moon Rapture

Image Credit: Unknown. Let me know and I will gladly give credit! 

• Full Hunter’s Moon or Full Harvest Moon – October 

This full Moon is often referred to as the Full Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon, or Sanguine Moon. Many moons ago, Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead. Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains. Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunter’s Moon is generally accorded with special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes. - Farmer's Almanac

As Kumani and I thought of a name for our Bloodlines clan, we wanted something to represent us. (Well she created and I stood there and nodded my head). More than just vampires and lycans, we celebrate the moon in our real lives as well. Kumani is such a genius with words and writing and capturing the ideal phrase to describe something, her choice of the word "rapture" was perfect. Rapture means elated bliss, high emotion, joyous ecstasy or transporting a person from earth to heaven. Blood Moon Rapture. Most defintely, YES.

Let us all be enraptured by the beautiful Blood Moon tonight. Drink in its energy and beauty with a roleplaying bite fest or just dance under the blood moonlight. 

Thirsty Thursday: Bloodlines Updates

Two recent blog postings at Bloodlines describe the latest happenings in the world of vampires and lycans in Second Life.

First is The Hunt. This hunt requires a HUD. You can then access the 150+ items all over the grid worth over a reported 30,000 lindens. Here is the link for the hunt hints.

Finally, information on the highly anticipated,  The Haunt, was published. This feature is for attracting Bloodlines players to your club, shop, bar, etc.

Full Corn Moon or Harvest Moon

Get out your fangs and claws, it's a full moon tonight! This month's full moon is the Full Corn Moon or Harvest  Moon.

I've lost the image credit for this. If anyone knows who it is, I will gladly give credit.

• Full Corn Moon or Full Harvest Moon – September This full moon’s name is attributed to Native Americans because it marked when corn was supposed to be harvested. Most often, the September full moon is actually the Harvest Moon, which is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the full Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.- Farmer's Almanac 

We will celebrate with a full moon invocation and an autumn feast complete with Mexican Cornbread. 

Mexican Cornbread

Ingredients

2 (8.5 oz) boxes Jiffy Cornbread mix

1 C milk

1 C shredded cheese

2 tsp. sugar

2 eggs

1 (14 oz.) can cream style corn

Directions

1.       Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.

2.       In a large bowl combine all ingredients until just combined. Spread batter into prepared pan.

3.       Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cornbread pulls away from sides of pan.

4.       Serve with butter or honey or both! 

Hoar's Mabon Party

The hoars and I celebrated the Autumnal Equinox by heading to a club for a few hours. We came home after the DJ completely sucked ass. Laini got the new Shakira dances so we danced into the morning as we hoars do at the Hoar House! Wearing new creations by Kumani. She DJ'd for us too! <3

Thirsty Thursday: Refill Stations

.:[ BLOODLINES REFILL STATIONS ]:.

(Refill stations can be found at Liquid Frontier and Liquid East)

To use the refill stations, you must first purchase blood, lumens or cider from the vendors nearby. Resources purchased this way will go to your "Reserve" on you proflie in your cellar, and will be available to refill into your containers.

Once you have some Vital Blood, Lumens, or Cider in your Reserve Account, you can use it to refill your containers at any Bloodlines refill station.


To use the refill station, you need to be wearing a Refill Key. Refill Keys are free, and you can get one by clicking the Refill Key vendor near the refill station. If you use the station without wearing a Refill Key, the refill will still work, but your tank won't update with the new amount.

 If this happens, you can get your tank to update by re-rezzing it, or by drinking from it or filling it. Once you are wearing your Refill Key, and you have purchased the metric that you wish you refill, follow these instructions to use the refill stations:

Click on the refill station, it will give you a menu asking you to confirm that you want to use the refill station. Click "Proceed" to confirm.
Make sure the container you want to refill is rezzed within chat range of the refill station. Click on your container, and then click "Select" on your container menu.

(lumen refill station with bone prism) 

If your container checks out, you will get a menu that will give you options for refilling your container. Select the amount you want to fill, or 'Max' to fill the container to the max (or up to the amount that you have available). Or, you can select 'Other', and follow the instructions to select a different amount.
Once you select an amount, your container will automatically be refilled from your reserve account.

(blood refill with tank)

(apple cider  refill with barrel)

Here are a couple things to note:

Metrics in your Reserve Account don't contribute to your wealth.
Reserve Accounts can only be accessed through refill stations. You can't move metrics into your Reserve Account from existing containers, you can't drink directly from your
Reserve Account, and you can't move metrics between Reserve Accounts on different avatars.
Having metrics in your reserve account won't prevent you from being destroyed by the Curse, just like having metrics in containers doesn't protect you.
Essentially, Reserve Accounts don't affect or interact with anything else in the game, they just give you a convenient way to refill empty containers.


(From the original notecard by Lyle Maeterlink, Mars Bracken, and Noire Luminos )

What a weekend!

What a wonderful, relaxing weekend it was.  I spent way too much time online.  Spent time on various occasions with Daisy, Cat and Tracy playing Greedy.  Hanging out with Suze, DM and Keith. Party @ Raven's with Tracy, Star, and Wooj.  Taking pics with Rick @ Daisy's. Then most of Saturday night with Kumani and Laini. After everyone logged, I laid down at the ocean next to Kumani's house and exhaled. So grateful to have such wonderful, fun friends!

Full Moon, Blue Moon!

The glorious blessing of two full moons in one month! Oh the magickal fun we can have! Thank you, Mother Moon for all the energy and comfort you bring me.

If you are on Second Life, enjoy the roleplaying opportunities and bring out your inner lycan or vampire and bask in the moonlight! You might even venture out for a midnight snack! If you would like to enhance your roleplay even more with like minded players, you can join Bloodlines.  Here is my post on how to join both. 

For more than half a century, whenever two full Moons appeared in a single month (which happens on average every 2 1/2 to 3 years), the second has been christened a "Blue Moon." In our lexicon, we describe an unusual event as happening "Once in a Blue Moon." This expression was first noted back in 1821 and refers to occurrences that are uncommon, though not truly rare.- Farmer's Almanac

Dear Laini

We miss you. We miss you and your vag. Come back soon. 

Love,
Kumani, Freya and Rick
