Number Fifty.

Whaddya know? I made it to fifty posts. I haven't been inspired to write anything as of late, but after reading the latest post over on the Ch'Know? blog, I thought it was a neat idea and wanted to try it. So here's the plan: I have to first answer these twelve questions (see below) and then go to Flickr and enter my answers as search keywords and make a collage out of all the pictures I find...or something along those lines. Check out Alicia's blog as previously mentioned if you want to know the correct instructions.

So here goes.

1. What is your first name? - Verona2. What is your favorite food? - Salad (I kid you not, I eat a spinach salad every single day)
3. What high school did you go to? – Riverbend High School
4. What is your favorite color? – Red, maybe. Actually, I don't know that I have a favorite. I do like the salmon-pink-orangey color, yeah, let's go with that.
5. Who is your celebrity crush? – I have this thing for Olivia Wilde, not in like a lesbian crush sort of way, but more like - wow, she's so gorgeous and (somewhat) talented. Does that count? 6. Favorite drink? - Tea! Hot, cold, black, green, earl and chai, doesn't matter to me.
7. Dream vacation? – Ireland or Scotland. I want to see where my family came from and the area is absolutely beautiful.
8. Favorite dessert? – Cheesecake with a chocolate graham cracker crust and cherries on top.
9. What you want to be when you grow up? – Content.
10. What do you love most in life? – Certainty (and my dogs)
11. One Word to describe you. - Windy. (I looked up a synonym for "wordy" because that's exactly what I am - I just keep talking and explaining on no end - as you can tell from these answers...and dictionary.com said "windy" and I liked that.)
12. Your flickr name. – Verona Valentin [I love that my own pictures don't even come up when I search my name on flickr, wha?]


1. Verona - Wonderful city, 2. D.R.F.S.B (Dangerously Red Flying Salad Bowls), 3. The importance of stretching., 4. Kercock Bothy - Perthshire Scotland, 5. Olivia Wilde, 6. In memory of the US Gulf Coast - Grayton Beach, Florida, 7. "Odd One Out"!!!!, 8. Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with Raspberries, 9. . content with silence ., 10. Horizon, 11. Not available, 12. Se acaban las rebajas


Do you ever just close your eyes and feel every rain drop hit your skin? I did today. I felt alive, and somewhat alone in the same moment. But I was content with the calm, the silence.

Zombie Nation.

dun nuh nuh nu nuh, nuh nuh nuh dun nun nun nuh ...yeah, if you don't know where I'm going with that, I was humming the ZombieNation song by Grendel rofl.

Anyway! I haven't blogged in a bit, so I figured I'd try to come up with something today. Yesterday, Themi and I went zombie hunting. We found this pretty neat open RP sim that actually spawns zombies that you can shoot and kill. So of course, we donned our gear and headed out of the initial training area and started kicking some zombie arse. Hellz yeah.



I planned to write more about the adventure, but um...now I don't feel like it. >_>
Oh, but I will say - Themi and I both rented slum apartments on the sim. They were so cheap and ridiculously glitchy, yet it seemed like we had to do it. I mean, how can you pass up owning this wonderful piece of erm...real estate.. (and yes, that is the link to my apartment, feel free to go visit. It's fully furnished and utterly disgusting. Have fun!)

After all the zombie killing was done, it was time for a horror movie night. First we watched The Haunting in Connecticut, which was really lame btw, and then 28 Days Later.

This morning I am back at the sim kicking zombie butt just for fun and I've set my Windlight to a creepier, somewhat post-apocalyptic setting for a cooler experience. If you have time, come check out the sim and maybe run around with me rambo-style.
