Something Free

So, the sim where our farm is located had to shut down. Have to find another place to set up a place for the cats. Nothing too big actually. A little parcel would do, and it would really be wonderful if the place isn't laggy. Anybody who knows somewhere that fits that description, please do contact me or Tabby (since she's got the cats with her). Time on SL is very limited at the moment so I can't really jump around looking. Any help given would be much appreciated. \m/

Rome and Barbarians

And if you're needing some Roleplaying clothes (especially for ancient world sims), then head on over to Swords & Sahara Designs.  They got new group gifts out and lucky board prizes. Group is free to join.

Seriously, their free stuffs are too awesome, they don't even look like something you'd get for 0L.

No Letting Go


Sometimes, you do stupid things.

Sometimes, you look back on them and laugh. Other times, you smile sadly.

Last week was of the latter kind. The hardest part of it was when I realized I pushed away the one girl that meant the most to me and made her cry her heart out. In the aftermath, like a icy cold bucket of water, I got doused with reality, and it became clear I've shattered my promises, especially the one about not hurting her. When I did try it on my own, I got stuck in one place, unable to move on since I've insanely clipped my own wings. There was nowhere else to go but back because I'll never be able to take one step forward or go any further without her. I'll never be whole, and it will always feel like I left a huge chunk of me behind.

And as I came crawling, despite all the idiocy... all the craziness that I've brought into our relationship, it finally dawned on me that I'm in way too deep and that there's no letting go. It's a miracle that she took me again and gave me another chance.

So yeah, there will always be storms.


It's been a rollercoaster ride, actually. It's got its ups and downs. But the only thing to remember is to do is hold on and enjoy the ride because I got in it together with Tabby right from the start.

And I don't just mean during the beginning of the ride, but at the gates of the park.
--------------------------------------------

Okay, so now that I've gotten that off of my chest and you've patiently listened to my ramblings, go check out 22769 Couture's new parkas at Men's Department. Since winter is pretty soon coming, what better way to feel snug and warm than with these?

Flying Up

 Short post. Not feeling well and really really sneezy.

If you've managed to read in InWorld Magazine's latest issue the Toys for the Boys section, I've made a review there about Vetox's simboard. I bought a couple more from the Marketplace, simboards that is, which you might want to check out too.

 Hair = ::Exile:: Sid (Sin)
Skin = Birth Vitalis (Straw tone)
Tatoo = )/Krispy Korp\( (GREY)Posideon's Tempest
Pants = +grasp+ Cargo sarrouel shorts Monogram Gray
Sneakers = 2REAL E-Wings Shoes
Hoverboard (2nd picture) = Wasteland Hover Board (had some problems with it; can't really adjust the position or control the speed of your hoverboard, but for 199L, it's quite fun)
Hoverboard (last picture) = [Air-Fire] Hover Board -[Recon Phantom ]- V.2.0

Commentaries and Shirts

Ehem.

So it's commentary day.

Every once in a while, I always catch discussions of Second Life alts, whether it be inworld or forums or in other social sites. Some would use these alts as store bots, or to create another character in RP, or to have another account for business transactions, or to have more group space, or as other means for anonymity purposes. Others, however, use them in a more negative way such as griefing or gift spamming (Just recently, I had an encounter with the latter kind of alt in one of the establishments I work in. Always does the same thing and gives out that same suspicious "gift." )

Personally, I have no alts, and I won't really care if people have them or not. I only have one account for the reason that I don't have time to bother with another one. That and because I forget passwords easily (I am terribly absentminded). I did have acquaintances, however, that would ask me to log in their accounts to check for some stuff or do a favor (e.g. check their inv, vote for someone, etc.).

Previously in SL (although I'm not sure if until now it still exists), other avatars can "determine" other people's alts through their IP addresses, which I think was a whole load of bull. For one, not everyone in the metaverse has a personal computer. I am familiar that, in most countries, computer rentals are popular and anyone can use computers for certain fees for the time spent in using them. Computer rental places are business establishments open to the public, and share only one IP address --- the owner's.

Secondly, some personal computers are not "personal" at all. Some would be shared in the household or with friends; Some people's net connections would be shared too, as in the case of portable modems or wi-fi connections.

Though some would say that they can determine alts through style of chatting and the use of symbols and syntax, and although it carries a huge percent of being right, it still is not very conclusive.

I can understand the paranoia that some people would undergo regarding alts due to some bad experience that had previously happened to them or what; frankly, however, I think it's all silly to let one bad apple ruin your experience. Loosen up. Enjoy. Live.

What if that person you were so caught up with never bothered you again? Would you continue to be paranoid for the rest of your life? I mean, it's good you're cautious, but often I find some people's reactions hilarious.

One case in point that stands out would be that chick in Facebook that I greeted "Happy Birthday" way back before. (Hey, it's not everyday you survive a year in this crazy planet, so I usually greet people to be polite.) I forgot her name, but the conversation more or less was like this:

Me: Happy Birthday!
Chick: Whose alt are you?!
Me:... huh? o.0

Yeah...

It was funny, but in a way, kinda sad too.

So, here's to all of you, alts or not! You'll find life would be so much better if you don't give a fork. \m/

Just A Quick Post

This is just a quick post to say that I'll be posting some awesome stuffs more this week. I've been running around lately trying to accomplish tasks like a mad man. Actually, I did do a few pictures last Monday to blog some poses, but Tabby doesn't want those posted because well... we're both naked. Soooo.... I'll just post the links here of InWorld Magazine's latest issue --->  CLICK ME! and DavidHawk's article on Second Life Wrestling in OI Magazine ---> CLICK ME!

See you later! Peace out!



P.S.
I think J.K. Rowling's newest book, Casual Vacancy, is wonderful, to say the least.
