"Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?" - Morcheeba

Sometimes, my energy is low, or if I am not quite feeling up to par, I will often fall back upon a song to help me through a post, which is kind of where I am today.  I haven't been feeling quite myself for over a week now, and I have a feeling this could be a long flare-up, which has a tendency to put me in a very pensive mood.  Today I am thinking about how people want perfection immediately in their relationships and how that is an unrealistic goal.  It takes time to build the foundation of a relationship, and then even more time to discover everything about each other and find your common ground on issues you won't ever see eye to eye upon.  In our automated, tin can, recycled world, everyone has gotten used to having everything right now, and delayed gratification is something most teens don't even know about today.  The old phrase, "Rome wasn't built in a day" rings true when it comes to romance and finding lasting love.  You have to work at love, and you have to build from the ground up and it's well worth the effort if you truly think you were meant to be.

Rome Wasn't Built in a Day

You and me, were meant to be,
Walking free, in harmony,
One fine day, we'll fly away,
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day,
Hey hey hey.

In this day and age it's so easy to stress,
'Cause people act strange and you can never second guess,
In order to love, child, we got to be strong,
I'm caught in the cross fire,
Why can't we get a long.

'Cause you and me, were meant to be,
Walking free, in harmony,
One fine day, we'll fly away,
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day,
hey hey hey.

I'm having a day dream, we are getting somewhere,
I'm kissing your lips and running fingers through your hair,
I'm as nervous as you, bout making it right,
Well we know we were wrong, we can't give up the fight.
(oh no)

'Cause you and me, were meant to be,
Walking free, in harmony,
One fine day, we'll run away,
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

I have no idea how it happened, but yesterday when I logged on I immediately attempted to get into the Gacha Garden and BOOM, first try!  Go figure!  I never have that kind of luck.  I did quite a bit of wandering and actually didn't spend much money this round, which is an unusual occurrence!  I was actually looking for two particular machines, and when I found them, I was quite happy with the results.  Glitzz's Asian themed dress and hair accessories is a MUST stop for everyone, as it doesn't matter if you get the Rare or not, every piece is gorgeous and can be mixed and matched, as you see here.  I also have fallen in love with Cae's charm bracelets that have been released at recent events, including the Sucre release for the Gacha Garden.  I got all but two charms, including the RARE, which made me a happy girl!  Analog Dog has two releases in their gacha, with the A being featured here, but make sure to grab the gifty as well, since it includes a hair and whole fatpack!!!  As usual, I love this event and the wonderful creations that are brought to the grid when the Gacha Garden comes around, so do yourself a favor and try to get in as soon as you can, you won't be disappointed!

Sinner's Prayer

To love the right,
yet do so wrong.
To be the weak,
yet burn to be so strong.

go rider, although your ride has been through life.
go rider, i see your soul through the devils eyes.

if i could live my life again,
would i have lived that life in sin?

go rider, go ride into the night

go rider, now see your soul through a woman's eyes

i am a sinner
hold my prayers up to the sun
i am a sinner
heavens closed for what I've done

Sinner's Prayer

Hello all you Sinners!  I hope you all have ventured out on The Dirty Turkey and Blood Letters Hunts that are currently taking place on the grid!  Here are a few teasers from those two events!  Heathenesque and 7mad;Ravens continue to expand their designs and stores by bringing fantastic furniture and decorative items to us all!  Both signs from 7mad have been released for the hunts, and will be exclusive items, so make sure to grab the details for Dirty Turkey (TDTH) HERE, and Blood Letters, HERE!  Heathenesque's Studded Wall Art comes in 3 sizes and colors, the largest is pictured above.  The detail is amazing on the art and the signs both and make wonderful home additions!  I also happened to love the table from R&B Designs for TDTH, not just for Halloween, but a neat "spooky" table to just have around.

This GORGEOUS skin is by ~Crow~ and can be found at the mainstore, along with a NEW group gift, which just happens to be this skin in a paler shade!  The detailing is amazing and for those who love the paler skin tones, this store is for you.!  I love having makeups to choose from to make one skin appear to be several and this is another place Mattie Rae of Crow does not disappoint!  Head on over and grab some demos, or splurge and grab a skin or two and fall in love with Crow for yourself!  The XY Room has been open just a few days as well, and if you haven't taken my cues to head on over, then use this as just another reason to do so!  Glitzz brings us this stunning little number for the event and it comes in several colors.   *Note - If you do not like fitting prim pieces on system clothing, then do NOT bother with this dress as the prim piece is a tad bit particular.  I was truly blown away by the number of designers involved in this event and at the AMAZING prices!  So hurry on over to XY while you can!
