It *is* a small world...

You know what the Stew is lacking in lately, besides Hawksness?
Upbeat posts! Yes!

When everything feels the darkest, suffocating in negativity, everyday becomes a battle... remind yourself that it can & will get better. :)

Don't let anyone or anything steal your smile. That's yours!

Ugh! I have A.D.D

I tried to do all my stuff today, I swear. But low & behold my new pink Nintendo DS distracted me, then Courage the Cowardly Dog, then my daughter & her need for retail therapy, Pirates called my name and then, and then, and then... Now I'm in SL playing Pereesi & blogging in between games.

I'll do it tomorrow while I have zero distractions (i.e kids), I swear.

A wise person once said:

"Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now."

To that I say... kay!

Afkish Today

I've got 4564644654768742132 things to do today in preparation for my move, so I may be logged into SL for tax lowering only but I'm not really there. Wish me gluck!

Note to self: Do not get distracted by Nintendo DS

Opinions are like... Well ya know!

This is what I learned today... just because you disagree with someone else's opinion does not mean that they are not valid in their thinking. It just means you have a different opinion and/or perspective. Does this make you wrong? Does this make them wrong? No, variety is the spice of life... it makes the world go 'round... yada yada. Try seeing it from their view, no really try, you may be uberly surprised. :)

Stupidity isn't a virus, but it sure as hell spreads like one.

Better saved for a RL rant elsewhere. Don't be stupid, people... kay?

*Snorts*

As a rule, try to find the positive, or in my case, the positively hilarious sides of things. I am constantly cracking myself up. No really, I really do crack myself up. I talk to myself a lot too. It's ok I pass it off like I was tote having an intelligent convo with the dog or cat, whichever is the closest at the time. Hey, it works. Doesn't it?

So yesterday I took a pic in SL with Rosie that had me rolling. Like seriously rolling. Yah, when I finish the post, it'll probably cause me drama but here's how I sees it...

Two weeks ago I was in an airport admiring people that had laptops to take advantage of the free WiFi. I sat there wondering if any one of them knew who I was. Really? Did they know I am "JellyBean Madison?" I'm like Queen and stuff. I have my own family line, I'm a well known blogger of nonsense, and when people think pink hair, they think me, right?

Yah popularity in SL gets you no where in the real world. So why do we hold so much stock in how others see us in SL? Does it effect us in the real world? Nah, not really. I mean there is some aspects of SL that carry over, but nothing considerable, really.

I am what you see or errr hear in SL. Personality-wise anyways.

Here's a lil secret... come closer... closer... no closer than that cause I said it's a secret dorkus!

Okay so my hair isn't pink in RL.

Omg! I know right.
There there, it's okay.

My point is, we try to be good people, or at least I would hope that we do. I have some great friends in SL and I guess what they think of me matters on some level but in the end, it really doesn't matter in the real world, or does it?

Oh
Mah
Gah!
I tote lost my point again, didn't I? Okay I need more coffee apparently. :p

If guise woke up with a whowho... Oh my!

Hawks is busy doing manly things *grunts*, so I thought I'd femme it up over here, just a lil bit. Thanks & big mwahs to CallaLily Munster. Luv ya girl!

Top Ten Things Men would do if they woke up with a Whowho!

10. Immediately go shopping for zucchini and cucumbers.
9. Squat over a hand held mirror for an hour and a half.
8. See if they could finally do splits.
7. See if it's truly possible to launch a ping pong ball 20 feet.
6. Cross their legs without rearranging their crotch.
5. Get picked up in a bar in less than 10 minutes...BEFORE closing time.
4. Have consecutive multiple orgasms and still be ready for more without sleeping first.
3. Go to the gynecologist for a pelvic exam and ask to have it recorded on video.
2. Sit on the edge of the bed and pray for breasts too

...And,

The NUMBER ONE thing men would do if they woke-up with a whowho....

1. Finally find that damned G-spot!

just saying...

Up early...

I can't sleep... I mean, I did get sleep but now at 3 a.m. I'm wide awake. Reflecting, I guess. Here's a semi-cryptic, it's been awhile.

• Your SL - hide in it, live it, use it for RL deflection - it is what YOU make it.
• Never leave a man to figure out what's wrong with you, be clear or it's a mess.
• Hold your breath and ride - it could be one of the fun coasters. You never know til you sit down & buckle up.
• Even a guy named Joker, can be wise beyond his years.
• Trust is a big word.
• Happiness is Japanese Imperial Mix (even if it has some seaweed)
• Diet Mountain Dew is an acquired taste.
• It's good to be Queen.
• Socks should NOT be the staple of SL.
• Knowing you're being stupid & doing something about it can often be harder than it sounds.
• Dogs are so much better than cats (sorry nekos, but it's true).
• In most situations Rice Cakes are not better than BBQ chips.
• Sometimes, you really do need to try to put yourself in someone else's shoes.
• Creating alts for tringo, is ok.
• It is okay to think of yourself once in awhile.

That's pretty much it, I'm going back to bed.... goodnight poppets!

Silver Linings & Root Canals

Just a message from the friendly neighborhood pink haired chick...
So like Hawks & I have been uber frantic trying to get the SLSA video up & rolling, meanwhile trying to juggle our real life schedules. Bring on the weekend! Oh yah, I would like to officially declare tomorrow PJ Day. I wanted to do that today but I have a dentist appointment at my 1 p.m. Anyroo... in honor of my pending root canal & extraction [in 50 min] Jell sported her braces today. Just look at that shiny grill, yO.

Bestest cell phone text message ever!
I asked Santa for a condom, he gave me 3, I asked him for a dollar & I got 10... I asked him for a ho, and got this number. Love, Your Sister :p

Also... no matter how bleak life seems to get, no matter how many verbal poundings you take in daily, just know there is always a silver lining. Sometimes you just have to squint really hard to see it, but it's there. :D

La la la la...

You know what a weed is? It's a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. Yup, that's me. I am definitely a weed. A little advice [I'm full of advice lately]... Try to end every day with a smile. Someday you never know - you could be discovered plant Janusia gracilis, and Miriam-Webster dictionary could *finally* catch up with my vocabulary. You just never know! :D

It's A Small World

Drama in Perspective
So I logged in to SL this morning for a whopping hour - 30 minutes of which I was afkish for because believe it or not, my RL is truly sucky right now. Within minutes I get IMs - drama this, drama that, all these people & their dramas. I'm sorry, I'm sure it's horrible for you all, but sometimes you need to take a step back & just laugh. Yes SL is a game, and yes there are real people & real feelings behind these avatars that we feel close to. Honestly though some things are just not worth getting worked up over. So pick your personal slife dramas wisely. There's laughable drama, and theres honest heartache. If some one shows up in the same dress that was released last week that you're wearing, THIS IS NOT DRAMA. So laugh damnit! It's hilarious & compliment her style, great minds think alike.

Small World - Don-cha' Know?
So like I go in for my optical appointment & come back home to casually eat my brunch while I log in to lower taxes... [sorry peeps, I know I haven't been on much to keep them lowered]. First IM I get is from a guy that has been IM'ing me since day one regarding Tiny Empires. Seriously he's not even in our family, nor has he ever been. The initial IM was because he was family shopping [wanting to change lieges & join the Madison Line] and I suppose he was interviewing potential lieges. Then he IM'd a couple times between then & now just checking in, saying hello, etc. Today's IM though was funny to me. It could be because I have so many other truely dramatic things happening in my RL that I get tickled by such IMs as... "

Madison Line Fanboy: *waves*
JellyBean Madison: Hai there :)
Madison Line Fanboy: sooooo
Madison Line Fanboy: i may be moving families again, so that made me think of you but now that i know a little more about SL, there may be one small problem, ima not really sure
JellyBean Madison: I see
Madison Line Fanboy: someone under me, you know, and maybe dislike
JellyBean Madison: and this is what... your 3rd move?
Madison Line Fanboy: well i moved one and right back to ***** that was all part of the same move really
JellyBean Madison: I don't "dislike" anyone
Madison Line Fanboy: well he said you may dislike him but he wasnt sure
JellyBean Madison: and who is "he"?

Please tell me... why I would care? "She doesn't like me!" Seriously a lot of this Tiny Empire stuff is taken so seriously that I'm sure most of these people haven't shit in over a month because their ass cheeks are cinched so tight being all stressed out & stuff. Let it go, really - it's ok. Constipation is so unhealthy. High colonic enema anyone?

Anywho, turns out I do know who he is talking about & I wouldn't say I dislike him, or that I'm going to put Bubble Yum in his hair, or greet him with a straw & spit wad armed & ready. Geez! Yes, I disliked his past behavior, and I don't care if he ends up in our family. That's so ridiculous.

Oh and while we're on the topic of people JellyBean Madison dislikes, let me give you my list of those who think they're on it but really not... kidding! Just ask, I don't bite, right Callie? :)

Caution...

Anything you say can and will be misinterpreted and used against you.

I've had one hellacious week. RL has been very hard & in SL I've have had a bout with dramas. Just a word a caution... never say anything that you wouldn't want the world to know unless you're talking to some one you whole-heartedly trust.

One of *those* days...

Where you find that your SL husband's dog tips over your prized daffodils in a fit of acting out at his "daddy's" absentness?

Or you IM some random stranger for the hell of it...

JellyBean Madison: Hai Jakkar - I'm bringing sexy back, pass it on kkthnxbai
Jakkar Carlos: Eh? o.o
Jakkar Carlos: Who are you?

Just to realize you are the only one truly laughing your ass off?

Or that you can't start your Christmas shopping early enough...

Jomg! Thanksgiving is next week!?! Eat more PORK!

A TURKEY WILL THANK YOU! :D That is all...

P.s. No more Amp for you Jell! Okie dokie pokie!

What does your *SL* profile say about you?

This post will be a clusterfook, bear with me as I ramble on...

So I had a convo with a guy friend of mine that I use to be really close to who told me that he had recently been dumped to my surprise. I didn't even know he was seeing anyone. His profile never reflected a change in relationship status. I don't mean "partner box", I mean in general. I'm a girl that needs some sort of affirmation, kinda like "claim me on your profile somewhere, say you are with me, piss on my leg, lick me, something!" Now I *use* to be a big profile troll. I was spending a lot of time in SL and during boring or slow moments, I'd find myself looking up friends or random people and just reading their profiles. In a virtual world, I believe info on profiles is very important and can sometimes give you that first impression of someone. Oh yah, sometimes I come off like profile police rofl. So I got to thinking - What do you think your profile says about you? What first impression is your profile giving to others?

Mine says:
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, But It Will Be Blogged!
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems with just potatoes. I drink Mountain Dew upside down.

I would like to think that this sums me up pretty well as a lil bit random, a lil bit humorous, a Dew addict, a dedicated blogger, and a devoted partner. In any sense, it says I'm not available but open to friends, right? Gosh, I hope so. :)

Anywho, I am curious... Look at yours & tell me what impression you think you give?

GOOOOOOO TEAM!!!

I am so proud right now that I am bursting at the seams, it seems. Hah! A little bitter sweet though, I feel like I missed so many important things tonight. I missed Rosie's Cheer Try Outs (OMG! I am smiling ear to ear. Go You!), Hawks first independent film project (I knew you could do it & be only tote awesome), Clockwork's Anti-Munday set(s) and probably so much more.

Rosie - I really wish I could have been there cheering you on in the stands, waving a huge #1 foam finger & hugging you after. If I could have been... I so woulda.

Hawks - Babe, you did awesome! I'm so amazed & proud of you.

Myg & Smooby - I am so sorry. I really could have used the Anti-Munday party like you wouldn't believe. Podcast please? Encore encore!

Kissiepops & huggles

See no evil!

Sometimes it's hard to be a blogger. It may look easy. You may call yourself a journalist, a writer, a creative composer of verbage, a word smith, or like me... a person who just loves to spew. I do enjoy writing, I love it a lot actually. If I could find a way to get paid for the shit I say, I'd do it, in a heartbeat. Point is - I don't. I say what I say for many reasons. The Stew here is just my outlet, my online diary of my SLife, a place to post my machinima, a place to share with Hawks, and a lot of nonsense in between. Mean Girls Guide to SL is also just as important to me, but where I cover SL newsworthy stuffage rather than spewage of my daily activities with some of the best writers in SL, in my honest opinion.. The KSU Diaries is a fun blog that let's me be IC (in character) and write my stories through my freshman at KSU's eyes.

This is just me rambling, honestly. It's late, I'm tired & I've had a highly emotional SL day. I guess what I am trying to say is I write because I love to, I don't do it because I have to, need to, or get paid to. Nothing brings me more of a rush than a good debate or hearing someone say "I know right" like they tote get me or can see where I am coming from. Every one has an opinion, I just throw mine out there for yay or nay.

Bleh Friday

So today I have to go in to work earlier than I had planned. Gah! No worries though, it's a good thing. David asked if this could screw up my Tuesday dj'n. Yup! It could, at which he said, "well lemme be the first to say its gona suck if you cant." I agree. After today, we'll see what my schedule is like. Wish me gluck! :D

Took the Arvo off...

Most of my morning yesterday was spent waiting for KSU to open. Once it did, that became my day until Hawks logged on. It's nice to make vids, plan stuff, tringo, DJ, blog and spend time in a TE group im but sometimes you just really need to escape all that. If only for a little while. Hawks hasn't decided for sure if he'll be joining me at KSU... so when he came on yesterday I immediately left campus to whisk him away to Surfline Aloha Rezzable. It's build, so we found a quiet little dock to drop our Pillow Talk pillows & just chillax.

Kala blogged the other day about Relaxing in SL. This post of Kala's is so true... people even in SL seem so busy or rushed. Why? Take time to inhale one another, have gooftastic moments, or just veg out. It's okay! Even if you can't do it everyday because you're just that busy - plan a day a week to just lose yourself. :D

Grawrness!

That makes me angry. And when JellyBean gets angry, Mr. Fluffybuttons gets upset. And when Mr. Fluffybuttons gets upset, people DIE!!!

I need just 2 hours, thats all of no Tiny Empire talk. I think it's consumed our slives. Though Hawks & I love playing it together, we sorta need a break. Today is the blogger party & I'm ready to roll - minus TE talk. There will be floggings oh yes, yes there will be if there is a mention of TE. Heads will roll. The End

Monkeys are NOT Donkeys!

Stop messin with my head! Welcome to another cryptic Jelly Post. It's been awhile and I have words of jellsdom (okay that doesn't work quite like wisdom). :p

• Just cause you look like the duck, and act like the duck, doesn't make you any better than the original duck.
  
• Sharing is overrated.
  
• In Soviet SL, you don't kick group... group kicks you.
• Hooker boots should not make sounds when you walk, flip flops should.
• Lala gets all the smart ones. Smart, huh?
• Those are rug burns you liar!
• Just because you gave up bling, doesn't mean you're any less of a retard. :o
• Halloweenie is the bestest holiday Eva'R!
• People who refuse to live in a pink castle made of cake, get tents made of fruit roll ups.

Okay thats all... kissiepops!

Laylah: C'mon I gotta make someone cry, or I'll feel like I wasted my day.
