This time tomorrow I will be in Africa!!! I am so excited, and really looking forward to it :)
Over the weekend I took the neighbours kids to see, "SpongeBob" in 3D, with all the effects. Heh, they really enjoyed it..but guess who ended up being the Spongebob addict ;) haha
Do you ever have a need to be challenged? Well for me that happens pretty regularly, and I find it exciting with the "buzz" going on around my head.
My current project is setting up an Art Gallery dsplaying the work of local artists. It has mostly been good from the get-go a few days ago, and artists are already hanging up their exhibits! I will take some photos of this after I get back from vacation for my journal. Teehee , I might organise an official opening, any excuse for wine! haha
Today I am feeling desolate, like a desert with no sand, like a river with no water, and a flower with no colour. It is ironic, because I know how lucky I am in getting away for a holiday..but you cannot beat the feelings. Maybe it is just a cloud that will pass in my fleeting day. I miss him.

It hurts and it never fully goes away. ~hugs~
Leaves a *hug*
here's a hug
Hugs, are always welcome..thankyou :)
ok you...no more. This will pass..you'll see.
Take all your hugs and hold them close to your heart. They will keep you company when you need it most.
*bunches of hugs to you*
One, of the best friends I have made here on VR, said to me today, "You are a wonderful person with a very loving heart. Those that cannot see that and understand that...don't have any business in your life whatsoever"
I went mushy after Linda said that... and there I was believing that I was some kind of big bad person who was manipulative all because I "listened" to certain people who I cared for. Now, of course I realise that those people never thought of me on the same scale as I did them and sought to bring me down to their own level.
She said, “ I don't think you need to gain certain peoples credibility as I think they need to gain it from you:”
Thank you Linda, you are truly a lovely lady and all those that behold you as a friend are lucky indeed. You made my week pan out well despite all the heavy hits I took, and I love you for that dear friend :)

*blushes* awe shucks...*shufflin feet*..*blushes again*
She's a smart lady.
aw shucks.
((hugs))

One for the ladies, if you want the softest silky skin ever, try Clarins "Gommage Exfoliant Peu Neuve" in the shower all over your body. You will step out with skin so satin smooth afterwards :) And a bonus, it smells good to!
COMMENTS
I think the wife needs it, lol
For the ladies?!? I think I may try some :)
poor ladie's option:
super hot bath, 1/4 cup baby oil.
soak.
dry off, and you will find your skin VERY soft.
K, I just found it on Ebay for 5.99!! Wow, I gotta get me some before it is all gone :) Watch it on the baby oil 'tho cos I remember someone telling me the long term effects of using baby-oil is very drying to the skin.
I know I am not even attending and I don't want to sound antagonistic but wouldn't it of been fairer if Vampire Rave attendees could of decided if there was going to be no photography?
Personally, I think Allengre Travel could of taken a middle of the road stand in this and perhaps advertised:
COMMENTS
its a liability issue...:)
Well, yes obviously it is Scarlett but in the statement above it nullifies management and gives people the choice.
Only another 5 day and 22 hours until holidays and surf is up in the Mediterrean :) I can't wait!
My sister has given me the green room, I love this one best as you can hear the Mosque Crier at Sunrise. It reminds me of my younger days when I used to live out East with my ex-fiancee and worked in the airlines :)
It is 40C 'tho, I am sure I will melt on the first few days!
COMMENTS
That sounds so nice. Be sure and take pictures. At least at YOUR gig you get to.
Mosque Crier .....ok, What the Hell is That?
You knew I was going to ask, right?
...and yes, as was already mentioned...take lots and lots of pictures!
The trip, minus the heat, sounds lovely, just brilliant. *sighs*
There is something so hauntingly beautiful in listening to a Mosque Crier.
We both hope you have a wonderful time.
Thankyou dear friends. I feel I really, really need this one but I am trying to think of how to deal with the sunshine! I just may invest in one big mean mammyfecker of a floppy straw hat!!
Sounds like a great trip, Emmy :)
But I'm glad it's you and not me who'll be hearing the Mosque Crier at sunrise.
*NO, Allah is NOT good AT FIVE AM!!!*
*throws nearest heavy object* ;)

Hawk confuseded by that statement....
:S
It is all in the news link Hawkabee! :)
Vampire Rave is like any other society we live in, as each has it rules. As long as you live within the confines of those rules you will not come to any great harm. However, living by the rules doesn't mean you have to follow a set pattern of behaviour because as long as you are within the law, in principle it shouldn't really matter what your views are, or how you behold people. Each one of us, should be our own person and true to ourselves.
COMMENTS
I don't know why so many people have a problem understanding that.
very well put,
Very well put Emmy
amen to that
Exactly Emmy I don't know why many people make such a fuss baout VR's rules.
If you go to another country, would you break the law simply because in your country it is legal?
How many times I wrote this? Countless times.
And one of my lates rants is that someone has commented that Dominars follow the VR Manual like a Bible and that we live by them.
Oh yeah right because we aren't people as well with our own morals pffftt -_-
VR has rules? Oh f- ..
Oh, fuck that, mate!
So far, so good today. All is calm, all is well :)
A certain mega whiner on here *thinks* they have some class, when by the sounds of their verbal farting.... all they have is a shit load of gas!!
Sometimes, I think I would like to slap you up your-think-you-know-it all pretty face . A good cuff around the ears even for a skpper isn't amiss every now and then. Learn some humility for Chrissakes!
COMMENTS
Ohhhh *makes her a nice cup of tea to calm down* x
A good slapping is always needed.
i refuse, keep slapping, i like pain....
Haha! F, how did I know you would be loving it! * *slap* *tickle* *slap*
Ohhh ok I see now...she got her kick in the ass someplace else,now shes over at your place for slaps and tickles...mmmhmmm.Immmm tellin on you.
Someone brought it to my attention, well that there are a few on here who encourage people to have their own intelligent opinion, they say, "think for yourself"all that bull, and call people, "stupid, senseless, brainless" or some other charming description that comes out of a mouth so foul, BUT if you have an individual opinion that DOESN'T coincide with theirs, then all hell breaks loose! now aren't they just the real losers! That makes me laugh just as much as this silly 'toon below!
COMMENTS
It's something like...
Do as I say, not as I do...
I never ask anyone to take my side...but i tell you what...i will never STOP having an opinion.
when i call someone out, it's because i have cold hard facts against them.
that is so true
Oy veh... it's times like these, that make living in an ashram seem like a good idea....
:P
Yep...lol
Uh hmmm, tell me about it...........
;)
Today I got a letter which made me weep, and it hasn't stopped raining outside since. Maybe I should go light the fire, after all it is summer time in Ireland and I am in a bleak mood.
Over the past year on VR my *thing* has been visiting different Houses and Covens and it has been splendid to see a spectrum of different talented people use their creativity to such opposite diversities.
I have really enjoyed being a part of this and it has given me an understanding and an appreciation of the different skills, and background of our members in Vampire Rave. It has taught me the importance of reflecting on the differences of people, and the joy of it is that every society I visited is unique, with the leaders in most cases setting a culture of "family" thereby creating a sense of belonging.
Most Societies I visited have a supportive and understanding environment in which individuals realise their maximum potential and if they do not, most rise to meet the challenge.. or if not, are encouraged to do so.
It has been amazing for me to experience the diversity that encompasses differences in gender, ethnicity; language and age..thinking styles, such a wide array of diversities to have shared. Thankyou for your hospitality to the Houses, and Covens who had me as their guest :) It has been an experience!
COMMENTS
Very cool comment. It's a good thing when people take the time to get to know and appreciate the differences. Like I teach my children in Kindergarten, what makes us different is what makes special. We all have something unique to bring to the table.
I am glad you had fun with the time you spent in each of them.
Your surfing experiences sound much more pleasant than mine!
I was doing that too. Some get pissed when you leave their Coven and don't talk to you again, I have found. Arg! I'm like dude, I said I wasn't staying....*sigh*
I got to drive the Dodge Avenger today, all day.. it really is a mean motoring machine..and what a smooth drive! I was lucky I got it on loan, but crap I hated being so close to the ground again!
Tomorrow my Jeep is being taken for it's second service in the first year on the road! I do extensive driving in my job and have managed to jam up 20,000 on the clock in one year!
It is being picked up at 8am *yawns* (it has been a busy week so far) and they will leave a curtesy car ~ it is going to feel so weird to drive a car again!!
COMMENTS
Congratulations!
How bizzare, all the rest of the comments have dissapeared on this entry! Sorry, folks I have not a clue how that happened!
yes...hi!
i was like, "ok, Emmy likes me, no"?
anywho....congrats!
o.O
K, lol I just realised what I did! haha.. I did an "edit" and embedded music forgetting it delted the comments! SORRY!!! haha
Aww, I see my comment was deleted to lol, anyway, congratulations.
Congratulations hon! Fantastic job.
Wow very nice.WEll done!
I feel sick to my bones fretting about tomorrow. I am not infallible, and I am always conscious of my own inadequacies and lack of experience in a particular field of my profession. I am being audited for it tomorrow by a Fellow of my own Professional Institution.
It is 2.30pm or so, and I have realised that I am still in my nightwear - I am just that engrossed in study. Bleh, come this time to-morrow my brain will be fried, so I will look forward to coming home and having a good stiff brandy that I keep in the cupboard for medicinal purposes. It has not been touched in like two years!
COMMENTS
*hugs*
Good luck ( not that you need it )...and let us know how it went BEFORE you get stuck into the brandy lol
You'll be fine girl. You fret too much over nothing much. You are always so very conscientious over your work, I can't imagine there being anything but a positive audit.
*hugs* and yeah..let us know BEFORE you hit the brandy, mmk.
The conclusion to the current episode of Doctor Who was incredible! I really, really enjoyed it and I dig it that we get to see David Tennent again. He really is a superb actor :)
Dr. Who continues at Christmas 2008 with the return of the CyberMen! Roll on Xmas!
Today is ladies Wimbledon finals day, it will be a match we have seen time and time again with the two Williams sisters playing. I actually wonder if they make a "deal" over their breakfast cereal together!
I never got to see Silver today as one of the children I was taking with me got car sick and I had to abandon the notion of going so far. Well maybe next year - it has been a while since I have been in the US, so I'll maybe go for the real thing...who knows!
COMMENTS
Yes, you definitely need to visit the U.S. I have a Guinness waiting for you!! ;)
*winni pbbbt*
I look a bit like a horse.. well a horse with a comb-over :'(
You know Texas is waiting for you :)
Tomorrow is going to be my first 4th of July celebration spent in Ireland! I am going to have an interactive part in the reinactment of the Civil War, take tea from a billy can at a confederate soldiers tent, dance the two time Polka, hear Blue Grass music, throw my legs up in a fiddle dance, see a Punch n' Judy show and pet, "Silver The Wonderhorse" etc, etc, etc!!
Y'all may do St. Paddy's day bigger over there..but hell we beat you at your own game on the 4th of July!! ;)
COMMENTS
Ummmm....
Speaking as a dumb american...
is it too spite the USA for doing a St. patty's day....
or is it because you actually have a real occasion to celebrate....
the reason you Irish celebrate July 4th?
and how will you be celebrating?
Shots of Cranberry Juice, vodka, and Blue peppermint Schnapps?
:P
Well, I am hoping to get a ride on the back of Wonder Horse to celebrate Hawk!!
I am glad to see that the auction is proceeding so well, and with Umbrae Octo's generosity it may be possible to reach the $1,000 I was shooting for.
Having an auction is a first on Vampire Rave, and it has shown how popular they are, so in a way it has tested the water and created a new possibility for development.. Who knows, anything is possible here.
COMMENTS
What are you auctioning off?
Master Vampire Sabastion has given us a pair of goblets he hand made with fine chain mail, and House Umbrae Octo is donating a Lifetime Premium Membership already at Sire Level Samantha :)
You're right Em, it does seem to be going very well. There are some fantastic people here who have given so much! It's terrific to see the generosity put forth for a good cause.
Everyone really stepped up to the plate on this whole thing.You did an excellent job,as did everyone! My faith is restored.:D
It is commendable to inspire generosity and even more to create a consciousness of humanity.
All kudo's to Cancer for his autograph on the tee-shirt, and allowing the auction to take place in the first place! Can you imagine what would happen if we auctioned a pair of his boxer shorts? giggles.. the girls here would go nutz for them haha!
Yep it's going great x
And it's all for a very good cause. ;] I have no doubt it'll get very close to or exceed your mark, Emaerald. ;]
Aww, thanks..but you know the big players in the Auction like Bones, Oceanne, Selene Tremere and Vampire Witch have just been incredible with their support for the cause, and way beyond all expectations!
I have no respect for two faced people. I always give people an opportunity first by asking, as I don't make assumptions ever especially if it is based on malicious gossip. That brings bad karma. You.. you are one of the best 'tho, and I am sure it is not true...I sense that about you :) *hugs*
COMMENTS
"malicious gossip. " = words of an ignorant,petty and most likely jealously vindictive loudmouth who thrives on controversy.
Youre right not to believe in any of it,no matter who it is about.Im glad to see you give peeps a chance to proove themselves.You're awesome E.
*Agrees with Borked*
The "punishment" should always fit the "crime" in the case I am talking about it was just being nasty, vindictive, spoilt and childish. The entire world is better of without people like that.. they shouldn't be allowed to procreate.
