Welcome to my blog and to my home. I am Aquarius Uraniborg, but my friends call me Aqua. I am a resident of Second Life and live on the Bellisseria island of Fantasseria. I share my home with my black cat Theo, my owl Sophie, a juvenile phoenix called Moses, a bat called Evaki and a baby niffler called Robin. My inspirations for my home and lifestyle are the RL shows/films: Wednesday Addams, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, the Harry Potter universe, Practical Magic, Charmed, Narnia, etc., etc. ♒ Aqua ♒
