The past month has been an interesting (for lack of better words) time in SL for me. And at various moments, I have had questions run though my head that, for the most part, would not enter my thoughts in RL. Here are just a few of them:
- Why are there always people with swords in my house?
- Why is every RL wife/girlfriend of the male avatars I meet in SL frigid?
- Does sending links to YouTube music videos through IM constitute an actual conversation?
- Hey! Where did my skybox go?
- Why do sex animations always make my face look so weird?
- Why am I still such a terrible walker? (For the love of dog, it didn’t take me this long to learn to walk properly in RL.)
- Where else besides a Gorean sim can I wear silks and slave rags and not look out of place?
- Should I become a lesbian in SL?
- Why do people change the size of their heads to fit their hair rather than change their hair to fit their heads?
- Why does Nine Inch Nails music make the best soundtrack for my SLife lately?
- Why does everyone always have Voice Chat enabled, but no one ever uses it?
- Am I really as terrible a submissive as I suspect that I am?
- Am I the only person on the grid without an Alt?
- Why does my sim neighbor keep offering to kidnap me and keep me in a cage? (And why am I not more concerned about this?)
- Are blonde avatars having more fun?
and,
- Why do fools fall in love?

Randomly answered questions ^^
ReplyDelete2- Because they likely know their s.o. is getting some in SL and are withholding ^^
4- The same place my matching socks dissapear to :(
6- I'm not sure, but I'd like you to know that your confessions about stairs rang in my head enough to put in a special chair lift to my shops second floor... instead of stairs....
8- Only if you are allready inclined to go in that direction. Otherwise you're asking for lots of drama you dont want/need.
9- I can see changing your head to be around 50, that seems to be pretty standard. Otherwise... good question.
11- I"m one of those people. -wince-
13- Nope!~ :)
15- OF course not!
Lets see if I can answer a few. lol.
ReplyDelete1. Maybe they are in a constant competition to impress you with who has the bigger sword.
2. We're not all frigid. I'm a RL wife and I'm so not frigid. Then again it could be because contrary to what saiyge has suggested mine is getting all he needs right here in RL and then some. ;)
5. Does normal sex not do this to you too? If not, then he is so doing it wrong. ;)
8. Lesbians have even more fun than blondes.
9. Adjusting prim hair hurts my brain.
10. They make the best soundtrack for a lot of things really...
11. Like saiyge, i too am one of those people. But then again..not many ask me to chat in voice. Maybe cus they already know I have a 'gina and there is nothing more to discover?
13. I often wonder the same thing myself. No alts here either. :D
15. Nope...but I've heard lesbians do. lmao.
Hope that helped. Chances are you still remain as confused as I do. ;)
~Zoey~
LOL...I have now started to keep voice on *just in case* someone ever says anything.
ReplyDeleteSaiyge- thank you for thinking of the walking challenged in your shop!!
But, hmmm...you can't help me with the swords question, huh?
Lucky, Ninja and Zoey have taken a stab (pun intended - what? I am bored at work today) at the swords question.
And OOPS!! I had better clarify that it is just the GF/wifes of men *I* meet who are not putting out! No insult intended!
1) The swords are to kill the spiders. Not an overreaction in my book.
ReplyDelete2) Because their SL halves are on the pc every time they DO fancy it? Not speaking from experience, just logic LOL
3) Yes, unless it's Slayer, that's more of an actual argument.
4) The spiders took it. See what I mean about the swords?
5) I concur with Zoe.
6) I call it a loveable quirk. Some people are less polite. Those people need a cuddle and a cup of tea.
7) We used to have a harem catwalk, I can probably whip it out of my iventory if you give me a day or so to find it.
8) Only your own tinglings can answer that one.
9) Prim(al) fear.
10) What doesn't it work well with??
11) Because nobody would ever know who was talking thanks to The Great Gender Confusion.
12) Only if you choose to be. Now there's a thought.
13) Nope, I don't have a working alt either, I haven't the attention span.
14)In SL, this is a sign of affection. I have many people I feel affectionate towards in boxes in my inventory.
15)Nope.
My question:
Why do I spend so much more time talking to SL buddies - about SL things - *out* of SL than in?
OMG, Willow - I am still dying laughing at your answer to my neighbor's kidnapping offer question! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd, now I know why I should fear the spiders. They are probably responsible for my missing bathtub, too.
P.S. To the reader who asked me to fix my blog so it doesn't keep coming up at the top of the feed: I am so sorry - I am not sure why it does that and I am checking to see what I can do. Sorry!!
I was really wondering about the frigid wives too!
ReplyDeleteMy big question is - Why do people put on their profiles that they're friendly, but you couldn't break into their little group of friends with a battering ram and some butter?
Another great blog Tym! Hmm, let me take a stab at some answers….
ReplyDelete1) I never have worn a sword in my house or anyone else’s. Now a whip…. is a different matter. Maybe I do not suffer from Sword envy, or I just need new friends…
2) I thought that was a requirement for guys to sign up to SL.
3) Not in my book. Yet entertaining none the less.
4) Hmm, mine is missing too. Damn spiders.
5) I fully agree with the comment about someone must not be doing it right… And the real success is when neither of you care what expressions you’re making.. except maybe worried when you don’t make a weird face ;-)
6) Hmm, you are a klutz… if you were a man I would think maybe a sticky keyboard….
7) Oh, my place comes to mind…
8) Give me a few hours alone with you to see if I can convince you not to make the switch. Please arrive in the previously mentioned silks. If that fails then you are destined for the other side…
9) Yep what’s up with that? Hey wait; we can change the size of our heads…
10) Life, much like a movie, can have different songs throughout. I just hope you will be pleased with the overall soundtrack at the end.
11) I don’t even know if mine is enabled. I think I need to seek speech therapy. Hey if I can ever figure it out, I will talk to you :-)
12) Hmm, as creative as your blogs are, I imagine that you would be equally creative in all you do ;-)
13) Ok no comment on the Alt front. Except a word of warning to others. Be careful, they can take over your SL… Oh, and if by some strange reason #8 doesn’t work out, let me know and I will create a female Alt and give you another couple of hours to convince you that you made the right choice….
14) Wow, sounds like a fun neighborhood. Hey I just sold my land. Maybe I should consider buying there…
15) Only when they have a couple of hours with me… But my preference is brunettes…
Well those are my answers. Don’t know if they are good or not, the fool that I am….
@alicia - are they English? Because you have to be introduced by three members of the immediate family on social occasions of increasing importance to be accepted by one of us lot.
ReplyDeleteYou can bypass that by offering us chocolate though, that usually works.
p.s. Tyms, the spiders are responsible for everything, EVERYTHING.
LOL...OMG why didn't I number my questions!
ReplyDeleteAlicia - It always surprises and saddens me, too, when people are not open to meeting new people and expanding their circle of friends - especially in SL.
Jerremy - per answer 11, yes, you have it enabled. :-P And, I will be right over. :-P
"Where else besides a Gorean sim can I wear silks and slave rags and not look out of place?"
ReplyDeleteIn 1001 Nights..an Arabian themed sim that is breathtakingly amazing.
Steph - thank you for the tip! I have multiple thousands of Lindens worth of silks now (sigh...long story) that I'd like to get some use out of.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I blame spiders, too, for the demise of my romantic relationships.
Darn you would want to actually come over... well having just moved.. I have no house :( However, I do have a 40' tall snow man that I live in... hey it's better than that volcano (long story).. gee and I wonder why I can't pick up more women... oh and the snow man is totally spider free! If you can handle the cold, please wear those silks on your visit :-)
ReplyDeleteIf your "house" is spider free, Jerremy, I may have to fight Willow for time with you. Make certain you offer her some chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI'll make it hot chocolate as my “place” is below zero. And guaranteed no spiders…
ReplyDelete*ears prick up*
ReplyDeleteNo spiders AND plenty of chocolate?
ZOMG my perfect man :O
Right well in that case, looks like it's time for a mud wrestle Tym!
People with swords are showing up everywhere. I hate dancing at Phats with a lady in an evening gown and Katana.
ReplyDeleteHow do you check for frigid in sl?
Yes, sending links to YouTube music videos through IM does constitute an actual conversation.
I once sucked my entire dungeon into my inventory by accident.
I would have to diagnose the expression issue in world :)
Casius - they are everywhere? Maybe there are more spiders around than I realized. And, are you *positive* that spiders did not take your dungeon?
ReplyDeleteWillow - did you notice Jerremy's gratuitous nipple photo on the home page of this blog? I think he is worth mud wrestling over, too - you are on! [runs to go select an appropriate bikini for the match]
I too cannot walk :( Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteOk, a mud wrestling match it is! For the privilege of hanging out with me in my spider free 40' tall snowman house. Contestants must wear expensive slave silks or a bikini. Oh and one for thing.... no mud..... I will fill the ring with chocolate! So Willow... you like Dark or Milk chocolate ;-)
ReplyDeleteAny melted chocolate is fine with me, Jerremy ;)
ReplyDeleteCan I wear my harem silks? I, like you Tyms, get so few chances to put them on.
Do you think they will accept this on the Events schedule?
Fantastic idea, Willow! Let's require attendees to bring graham crackers and marshmallows.
ReplyDeleteSilks of any kind will be acceptable! I'll work on getting the melted chocolate to just the right temperature. I guess it all depends on how hot you girls like it ;-) Hmm, all this just might melt Frosty! Oh well, then I will just build a new spider free structure next to the wrestling pit and have a weekly contest :-)
ReplyDeleteJerremy, are you suggesting that Tyms and I should wrestle in hot, running chocolate on a regular basis in order to secure weekly custody of you and your rather delectable nipples?
ReplyDeleteI'm so in.
Well of course Willow! Hmm, and if I remember the pictures here on Tym's blog... she likes whipped cream too. Maybe a special Whipped Cream contest from time to time. Now once I post this "event" on the SL calender, many more will want to compete. But you and Tym will always have the preference of what match to compete in :-) I think better make Frosty bigger. Right now he is very cosy (ok some might say cramped...)
ReplyDeleteI think it only fair you invite us round to inspect our potential prize, Jerremy :P
ReplyDelete(Besides, I need to eye up my opponent, spot her weaknesses *air boxes*)
