The Spring Season Challenge: Butterfly Effect

1 Spring Challenge Blur 1024

Once again, I find myself doing an nonseasonal challenge. While I was feeling springy/summery at the beginning of the antipodean autumn, I am still feeling that way now. Perhaps it is because it has been rather warm so far this autumn with quite a lot of rain. Whatever the reason, I am not in the mood to revolt this time around and start up an opposite-season challenge of my own 😉 Instead, I will just play along happily with Miss Berry.

Here is what she has asked us to do for this challenge:

Meme Instructions: Share a spring-themed picture and/or answer the following questions about the season. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments (of this post) and share your picture in the Blog Memes Flickr Group.

1. What is the spring season like where you live? – Living on the east coast of Australia, we don’t have harsh winters. So spring really kind of creeps up on us. It gradually warms throughout the day and begins to be a bit warmer at night. We have rain, but then we do during all seasons (not so much summer, except for thunderstorms). Since we don’t have deciduous trees and we have native plants that bloom all year around the biggest difference is the type of flowers that blossom.

2. What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think of spring? – Butterflies, tulips, daffodils – in short, colour! I grew up in the U.S. midwest, so when I think of spring, I think of that transformation from brown grass, bare trees and snow to a green lawn, budding branches and flowers bursting with colour. A close second to the bright colours, though, is the warmth of the sun on my face.

3. Which spring-themed sim in Second Life is your favorite at the moment? – There are so many sims now that change with every season that I love, but the one that stays springy all year around is Wanderstill, Ode, where I shot this picture. It not only doesn’t change for the seasons, it has remained very much as it is now for several years. That is what makes it such a familiar favourite of mine.

While I am not a fantasy-type girl, the butterflies of spring were the inspiration for my photo. I’m not a wings person, either (not counting my Red Wings 😉 ) but these from VERO MODERO are just stunning. They may be meant to be angel wings, but for me, they completed my butterfly effect.

Second Life Book Cover Meme: Ready For My Launch

1 The Girl With The Cupcake Tattoo

Well, it took me all day, but I finally managed to get into Second Life to shoot the cover for my new book. Didn’t you know I’m a budding author? The plot is…well, there really isn’t one. It’s just about the frustrations of a forgetful cook. I have to say I don’t tend to lose recipes; I just forget to put the coconut in the ANZAC bikkies 😉

This week’s Monday Meme from Miss Berry is a really fun one. I must say coming up with a book to spoof was kind of hard, but I thought back to the recent book meme and used a book by one of my favourite authors as my inspiration.

I am talking about Stieg Larsson and the first of his Millenium trilogy, “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” The story is dark, but the characters are unforgettable and I love Larsson’s style of writing. The fact that all three novels of the trilogy weren’t discovered and published until after his death just left me wanting more from this talented writer. So, as my tribute to him I chose to parody my favourite of the three.

There have been several reprints and covers for this book, but I chose the one that is sitting on my bookshelf.

If you want to play along or check out the other entries for this meme, here’s what you need to do:

Meme instructions: Create a book cover to show your avatar in fiction. It does not have to be based on a real book, it can be one that you make up. Don’t forget to leave a link to your cover in the comments (of this post) and share it in the Blog Memes flickr group.

If you would like an autographed copy, I’ll be doing a signing at Garages & Ignoble on Tuesday from 10:00 – 10:15.

The Sexual Meme: Connect The Dots

Peep's sexual meme

I have a feeling this week’s meme topic is going to raise a few eyebrows…at the very least 😀 . I can’t decide if there will be an explosion of bloggers taking part or if a lot will choose to skip a week. Time will tell, and I’ll be keeping a close eye on Berry’s blog comments to see.

From the title, you can gather that Miss Berry is curious about our sex lives. Since this marks the one year anniversary of her memes, who am I to say no?

Here are the specifics:

Meme instructions: Answer the following sexual questions because I am a perv and want to know all about your sex lives. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments here so I can perv all over your answers, multiple times.

I think all bloggers should participate, if for no other reason that to facilitate Miss Berry’s multiples 😉

1. What is your sexual orientation or do you not like to label yourself? – I am completely heterosexual. That may sound strange coming from a woman who has a wifey, but I just love men. All things about them. Some more than others.

2. Name a physical attribute that you find attractive or sexy. – I’m with Berry on the eyes, but I also have a real thing for forearms and hands. When those little muscles ripple along the forearm and the back of the hand, I just turn to butter. That may explain my attraction to musicians. And mechanics.

3. Are you promiscuous, a prude or in between? – I’m neither. When I was younger I probably leaned toward promiscuity, but I know how many sexual partners I have had. In SL, other than a period a few years ago when I regretfully had a relationship with two men at the same time, I am a one-man woman. That said, there haven’t been that many of them. I prefer a long-term relationship and if I break up with a guy I don’t feel the need to immediately replace him, just for the sake of being in a relationship.

4. What turns you on? – A smart, funny man. And having my hair brushed. And having my palm gently stroked.

5. Are you dominant or submissive? – I tend to be submissive…until I’m dominant. I like a man to take charge, but I’ve been known to take control in the heat of the moment.

6. Are you into sexual roleplay? – I guess one could argue that any sexual encounter in SL is role play. As for dressing up like a school girl or playing doctor and nurse, nope. However, if acting out a fantasy such as having a twirl with some silk scarves or having sex in a public place (discretely) cropped up, I wouldn’t say no.

7. Which sexual position is your favorite? – I think this is where the submissive part comes in. I like doggy and (yes, I admit it) missionary, particularly if my hands are being held above my head.

8. Do you have any fetishes? – I don’t think so. Gawd, I’m boring! But I have to agree that having my toes sucked is pretty friggin’ mind-blowing and having a bit of ice in the bedroom isn’t a bad thing 😉

9. Have you or would you do porn, amateur or professional? – lol no way! Although in my SL dancing days, some of my emotes might have qualified. If they would let me write the scripts for porn movies they might actually be worth watching 😀

10. Do you consider yourself sexy? – I don’t, although I’ve been told I am. I’ve also been told I am sexy because I don’t think I am.

Speaking of sexy, check out my new skin! This is a preview of the Wrath Skin from 7 Deadly S{k}ins for The Skin Fair. Not only is it sunkissed, but it has full-body freckles. Stay tuned for more on this skin later in the week.

Hmmm…full-body freckles. Hey Grumper, wanna play connect the dots? And make sure you bring the moosteriser 😉
