I just won a dress

Avatars

I loved this avatar till it crashed and burned.  I don't think I ever got it quite the same again.

Treehouse Landmark

I rented a treehouse on SL at this group over here. I've never owned a home there before.  Putting square furniture in a round house is a lot like putting a square peg in a round hole.  Frustrating.  And for some reason I can't sit down on any of the furniture. I can sit down on them if I open them in a sandbox, but if I open them in the treehouse, no luck. Weird.  I'm also having trouble getting in and out of the door. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But I'm learning new things and having fun.

About the Bling

There is one pair of heels I am fond of wearing on Second Life because I like the way they look.  It puzzled me when people would randomly comment that they loved the bling on my shoes.  I didn't see anything sparkly about them.  So today it came up again and it dawned on me that my resolution was too low.  So I tried to raise it and then I saw the sparkles. So Yay!  But then when I clicked on 'apply', and looked at the club I was in, a lot of body parts went missing and hair was floating around. Yikes!  So I put it back on the low setting.  What good is it to see your shoes sparkle if you have no legs?  Strange. If you click on the photo so you can see her foot, you'll see the 'no blng' version that I see.

Vixen Belly Dancing

Here I am dancing in some black silks I found for free.

Rainbow Gown

Last night on Second Life I randomly found this great rainbow dress in one spot and this cool waterfall in another, so I took a bunch of photos. Of course the frozen view of the waterfall isn't nearly as exciting. I used a belly dance animation override (AO) that I also got for free to do the poses. Click on the photos for more detail.

Not Your Baby

Today was interesting.  A new guy on the rebound asked me to be his babe. He also wanted my Facebook, and my photo, and my phone number. I wish he would ask a question I could say yes to.

Vixen on Second Life

I've been using my Vixen avatar lately, which is my hypnosis avatar. It makes for some interesting conversations.

Second Life Photos

I've been lonely and bored on Second Life lately so I took a few photos. I've cut way back on my SL time because it's just not that much fun wandering around like a gypsy from spot to spot.

Helping a Newbie

On Friday night I tried to teach a friend to use Second Life. Boy was that an epic fail. I spent an hour and a half and couldn't even get him dressed. I'd forgotten how tough it was. Then I was trying to explain the age verification process because he wanted to access adult areas, and he couldn't comprehend that at all. I finally went to bed with both of us extremely frustrated. He didn't even know how to walk.  Somehow he skipped Information Island altogether.

Character Won't Rezz

Next time you are faced with an avatar that doesn't rezz but remains a white orb try this: http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/technical-help/49128-avatar-wont-rez.html
It fixed mine.

Working on SL

It seems that almost daily on SL I have some guy tell me he now has a partner and doesn't want me anymore. Or they go out of their way to point out they have others they spend time with. I know that on a subconcious level, but I don't need my face rubbed in it. I assume they knew people before I got there and they'll meet new people each day.

Oh and the club I applied to dance in just shut down for a few months, so it's back to the drawing board.Today I planned to stay off of SL to prove to myself that I'm not addicted to it, but it's only 1 PM and I find myself seriously jonsing for it

On a good note, I won 50L in a contest for burlesque yesterday.

Yay I'm Back

A of last Monday, I'm finally back on Second Life. I ended up buying my own memory, which was only $40. I thought it was going to be $150, or I would have done it 6 months ago. I got my new avatar situated with a decent skin and body. I've used my old avatars as well. I've been able to find some of my old favorite haunts, and I've made a few new friends. But the first 3 days were pure frustration as I tried to relearn the game after a two year break.

After waiting so long to get back inworld, my biggest fear is that I want to play 24/7.
