.. secret’s safe with me ..

Winter is really an awesome time to take pics in Second Life. The clothing options are fun with the great textures and designs that we find across the grid.  And the holidays often bring other fun things like gifts and such.  Because of a group gift, I decided to pull my malt Sol out and snap some pics with him.

If you ever need me
Just tell me and I’ll be there
Cause I was built for you
Yes I was built to carry all your feelings

Cause I won’t let them know
I won’t let you go baby
I don’t care what your past is
I don’t need no answers
Just have faith in me

Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep
Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep

No need to step back
Don’t be scared, I got you, you know that
I’m here when you are sad
When all of your clouds turn black

Cause I won’t let them know
I won’t let you go baby
I don’t care what your past is
I don’t need no answers
Just have faith in me

Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep
Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep

.. bah humbug, not! ..

One of the most interesting and detailed finds at the December round of The Arcade Gacha Event is the Humbug Christmas gacha from DRD which features Ebenezer Scrooge’s house and furnishings.  I love the detail and the suggestion of seriousness that the house holds.

“There are some upon this earth of yours,’ returned the Spirit,
‘who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of
passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name;
who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived.
Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.”
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

“I will live in the past, the present, and the future.
The spirits of all three shall strive within me.”
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things,
that while there is infection in disease and sorrow,
there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.”
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

“I don’t know what to do!” cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath;
and making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings.
“I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I
am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man.
A merry Christmas to every-body!
A happy New Year to all the world!
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol

“And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well,
if any man alive possessed the knowledge.
May that be truly said of us, and all of us!
And so, as Tiny Tim observed,
God bless Us, Every One!
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

.. no place i’d rather be ..

Winter in Second Life is so much easier than the slush, rainy, cold in the physical world.  We can easily be outside no matter the weather that surrounds us in the virtual world which can make the beauty of winter shine through.  This month’s Arcade brings us some fun items for winter and for just enjoying our virtual life.  Today I decided to jump on the Carrier Tricycle from (epia) and go for a short ride.  For today’s outing, the duffle coat from Coco was a perfect choice as were the white kitty earmuffs from Tableau Vivant to keep my ears warm.  While I was out roaming the streets of Honeybriar in Eastwood County, I did get a bit tired and plopped down in the cart of the tricycle… a perfect place for a rest!  Be sure to visit The Arcade during the December round to gather up all the goodies!
