About Me

Hi, I'm Rosalind Hughes. I am 30, female, and I live with my parents in a coastal town near Blackpool, in the "red rose county" of Lancashire, in England, UK.

I am registered disabled due to several illnesses, including chronic severe pain, asthma, diet-controlled type two diabetes, hypothyroidism, (underactive thyroid gland) osteoporosis, Raynauds syndrome, non-epileptic attack disorder (NEAD), borderline personality disorder, depression, agoraphobia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) & poor mobility. (I walk - badly - with a stick.) The problem with having so many illnesses, is that if you have a good day with one, you'll probably be having a bad day with something else! I've never been able to work - in fact, I had to leave school early - two weeks after I turned 15 - because of my health. Because I left before exam time, I have no qualifications, even though I was a "grade A student". There's plenty of things I would have liked to do - particularly in the healthcare sector (ironic, I know), but there's no point dwelling on things that I can't change.

I have five pets: my gorgeous new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy Stanley, my grumpy corn-snake, Gerty and my three cheeky rats! Gerty is a very crotchety reptile, who makes it known when she's not happy and is always thinking of when her next meal is coming! I have been keeping fancy rats since 1994, and I currently have three young boys who were born roughly around mid-August 2008. They have been named Arthur, Teddy and William - all posh names, I think you'll agree! I did have dogs - a whippet called Daisy, then a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy called Rollo - until recently, but Daisy died in May 2009 aged 9 then Rollo died in July aged just 10 weeks . I miss them so much, but I know they'll be looking after me - and little Stanley - from wherever they are now.

I'm a witch! Yes, you heard right! Since mid-2006, I have lived my life following the path of the Solitary Eclectic Wiccan, and I very much enjoy it. I love all the stereotypical 'witchy' things - divining with angel cards, a pendulum, 'witches runes', and learning the Tarot, scrying with a crystal ball and runes; collecting ornaments and tools to go on my altar (in my bedroom), books to nourish me spiritually and help me learn the Craft, and celebrating the eight Sabbats of the year, and the Esbats on each full moon. Sadly, I am unable to turn people into frogs - never mind, eh?!

Happy Christmas Everyone!

OK, so as a Wiccan, I celebrate Yule, which was 4 days ago, but seeing as most of my friends and family celebrate Christmas, I thought I'd send you good wishes the internet way! I know it's been a tough year for some of you, so I really hope all of you who read this will have a much better 2010, and that you will be able to enjoy the festive season over the next few days. It's already Christmas Day here in the UK (by all of 20 minutes!) so

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I'm In Mac Heaven!!!

via images.apple.com

Hallelujah! Yesterday was a joyous occasion indeed, as my brand new Mac Pro desktop computer arrived - and it totally ROCKS!

At long last I have a connection to Second Life once again, and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself trying out some wonderful Mac software like 'Tweetie' for Twitter and 'AdiumX' the multi-account instant messenger.

Yes, I now have a great big smile on my face - and you can't ask for more than that, can you?!

My Latest 'Second Life' Portrait!

via slprofiles.com

I spend a great deal of my time roleplaying within the virtual world that is 'Second Life'. My character is a vampire-turned-dark demi fey (a type of faerie.) There was a 'Fall Festival' to celebrate Autumn in the roleplay areas this weekend, and so I wore Autumnal colours. I thought I scrubbed up quite well, so here's a photo of me!

Yes, my Stanley has his very own profile, at the wonderful canine social network Dogster! Scroll to the bottom of his profile and you'll find links to my two late dogs Daisy and Rollo's pages - they may be gone, but they'll never be forgotten!

Swarovski Crystal - Feline Favourites - Crystal Cats

via swarovski.com

This is such a wonderful little animation depicting the cat characters of Lovlots City - a neighbourhood whose residents are the crystal creations of Swarovski. Watch the animation, then - if you have the money! - buy the cats in their original faceted crystal forms - genius!
