The Hamsters Are Running on Their Wheel!

What thoughts have been running through my pixel head lately?
  • I have discovered that there are few things in life more entertaining than dressing your avatar up in a costume. I do so at the drop of a hat. Luckily I found a SLignificant other who feels the same way. Why do I think it is so damned adorable when Jerremy wears a little construction outfit when he works on the house? He has been working on the water feature/pool in our backyard now, too, so I have come in world several times to find him in scuba gear. OMG I love that man.
  • Speaking of Jerremy's wardrobe, he owns seven tuxedos. Seven. We were checking to see if he had one for our (now) July wedding. Seven tuxedos...and one bear suit. (*That* is why I love that man.)
  • Why does the IT department at work now let me see my blog, but block the Powerball site?? (Come on, people! I want to know if I have to come back after lunch or not!!)
  • How do you have a husband and/or BF in SL and not have cyber? I don't get it.
  • When is LL gonna fix that bug that makes it impossible to hover properly anymore? (mentioned first by Wrath Paine)
  • I had to move my wedding date because of RL. Darn RL anyway. So now I won't be Mrs. Jerremy Darwin until late July. That is two more months of living in SLin. :-(
  • What happened to the blogger party this month? :-(
  • OMG I love changing my makeup in SL. Same skin - different makeup. That is so, so fun. I had briefly played with the idea of asking the designer to make me a special wedding makeup, but that would be awfully highfalutin of me.
  • I am a good interior designer in SL, but a terrible interior design shopper. I take snap shots, I commit colors and items needed to memory, I draw out diagrams -- and still I end up having to buy three times as much furniture as I actually need because I can't picture if it will look good where I want to put it. OMG.
  • I love the new Dresden Dolls song Coin Operated Boy. I got introduced to it by the amazing SL DJ, Infinite Graves. (But I think we'd all be better off with a coin operated man, if you know what I mean.)
  • I have made it past the addiction stage of SL!! OMG I wasn't sure if it was possible. It is a relief and a bit of a joy to be able to choose to be in-world and not need to be in-world. I was worried for a while there, I have to be honest.
Anyhoo, Happy Saturday everyone! :-)

ETA: I did get the guts to ask the designer to make me a custom skin/makeup for my wedding - but was just informed that it is not something they do at the moment. So, I tried to be
highfalutin, but was shot down. Awwwwwww!

  1. Nothing wrong with a bit of highfalutin on your wedding day, I say go for it with the custom make-up! If you can't do it on the day you pledge your pixels till power failure do you part, when can you do it?

  2. LOL Sometimes, when I come onto your blog, I am momentarily stopped by the title.. what a chuckle this was! I can just imagine Jerremy in his construction outfit, hard at work...(does he have sweat tatts too?) ;) Love your blog..

  3. I agree with willowc, go for it! The worst that can happen is the designer will say no and if she doesn't, then you have a fabulous, custom skin all for you.

  4. Highfalute yourself! What's the harm in asking? You could request the eyeshadow to match your wedding colors! :)

    And I don't know how people have platonic boyfriends & husbands. It doesn't make sense to me. All I can gather is that those people are REALLY bad at cyber and so they just choose not to.

  5. LOL - I love your blog!!! Now, what is the secret to get passed the obsession of SL??? Do share!!!!
    Oh! And, absolutely ask for that custom makeup!!! You deserve it!!!

  6. Willow, Angel, Alicia, Ryan - I think I will ask about the custom makeup - you are right...if I can't do this for my wedding day, when can I? YAY!

    Margo - one of the reasons we love Casius' parties are the great opportunities to dress up!

    Ryan - it just took time. It was not easy, be patient. It is a nice stage to be in - I think I am ready to take up some projects that I had to give up when I was feeling overwhelmed by SL. I did cut back on my SL obligations a bit to get a handle on RL again. That helped. Good luck! Willow had assured me that I would reach this stage and she was right - brilliant woman, that Willow!!

  7. Here are some of my thoughts on your thoughts :-)

    1, 2) Costumes? My love, I was merely wearing the proper clothes for the work at hand. Would you have me digging tunnels in one of my tuxes? Sure I do have 7, but still...
    Now the bear suit might be useful when I make the cave... hmm.... and some kind of wings will be in order for the dance floor in the clouds....

    3) Honey, just give me the call when you win the Power Ball... .honey?....honey?..... where did you go ;-)

    4) Now I have been on some pretty amazing kiss balls...but come on... one has not lived until they have enjoyed all this life has to offer. And if you really do it right it can seem a whole lot more then just "cybering"....

    5) Hovering is nice. Hmm, maybe I will do something to you the next time we meet that will make you feel like you are floating on a cloud. Sure not quite "hovering", but I think you will like it ;-) [see comment above]

    6) Honey I can live in SLin with you forever, or we can elope tonight! Though my preference is to do the wedding. And not just because I spent 15,834 hours making the wedding location and buying animations. It is because I wuv U so much my cuddly snuggle bunny blogger..... hehe :-)

    7) OMG, are they not throwing blogger parties because people are afraid of bears showing up? I really didn't mean to maul that one person at the last one. And it was not like their blog was all that good... And I swear I really didn't know about the built in sex animations... and that they could be set off so easily.

    8) I agree with the others. We should splurge a little. Go for the custom makeup. We can go whole hog and highfalut it up. We will have one heck of a wedd'n shindig!!

    9) I really like that song too when I heard it. Oh, but honey, isn't a coin operated man a gigolo? I'm sad to see that you think you would be better off with one.... Darn we should have cybered! I was just trying to save myself for the wedding night. Ok, how does this attachment work? Wow, it can make sounds and talk for me. Why I don't have to do a thing......

    10) Addiction? What do you mean.... you make it sound like this is some make believe world and not reality?? "In-world"? What does that mean? Ha ha, like there could be some other kind of world we could be in. Silly woman. Hmm, I have been meaning to ask where you spend the other 21 hours a day when I do not see you....
