If April is the cruelest month, October is the kindest month!

T.S. Eliot penned "April is the cruelest month, breeding" from The Waste Land. Yep, relationships are lots of work and emotions and feelings are very powerful. I'll leave that at that.

But October can be the kindest month, I love summer but I also love the cooling effect of autumn.
Cue California Dreamin' by the Mamas & the Papas....   "All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey...."

AND Halloween parties and school is usually in full force. Yes, I like (not necessarily love) school. I take to the wisdom that school is not so bad, compared to adulthood of full time work of paying the bills and taxes. Oh and with adulthood one plans for retirement and actually thinks about the visit from Death.

Which makes me think of death, devils, angels, spooky stuff and Halloween again! I do love dress up for weddings and dances, looking for the right outfit, accessories and seeing all the work the couple and their family does for the happy event. http://www.flickr.com/photos/75193773@N05/8043747408/in/photostream I'd crash weddings throughout SL, given the chance.

Halloween gives me one more chance to be creative and imaginary. Plus i think there are the most Hunts in SL in October with Halloween themes, zombies, monsters, and on and on. Its fun because most vendors decorate, add some mazes and puzzles. :D  Always a great thing to do with friends, family or even alone.

The Cookie Jar Group has a blog: http://thecookiejarcommunity.wordpress.com/ with a sl hunt in-world landing spot with all kinds of hunt boards. It's a good start.

Maybe I'll review a few in this blog?   'Insert Hailey shrugging, right here. Thinking maybe she could get rl school credit????'  LOL'  

With love from the Marmalade!

oh-K! I haven't posted in awhile.

SO I'm adding frivolous drivel to keep anyone who reads this at ease.

OK it's only been a month. SO its not so bad and its summer what does one expect? I have barbeques to attend, pool parties, slumber parties, shopping parties, summer football/soccer and then to watch some Olympics. Which my previous post of England and the rain just sews up everything and I can go back to my real life of socials, soirees and such.

And without classes this summer ... I was able to work a few more hours a week!!! Whopeee.... I'm so overwhelmed with excitement and joy....

 Back to the pool, just popped in for a lemonade...

i bleed red!

yes, I bleed red when cut, not blue nor copper based green stuff. I noticed that partially through my Flickr account I've been lead to more rl blogs. but the blogs are some of my own thoughts expressed by others. Well, I'm not sure how deep, but I get them and knowing that there are real folks behind every sl avi. Its what makes some avis sooo awesome. Its like the power of Pinkie Pie (My Little Pony) and I am 8. Magic makes sl work sometimes and rl has lots of magic through friendships. So those who see me only as a sl cartoon character should realize there is lots of real me that bleeds.

Hugz!
