OMG I am so stuck....I am having the most difficult time with my blog. I know my habits and the amount of time I spend in SL have changed and that is one reason my blogging subjects and frequency have changed, but it distresses me to no end. For cereal. So I will try to break the writer's block by just writing off the top of my head today. (It is time for a good meme I think...)
Lately, I have been trying to decide what to be for Halloween in SL. Yes, I know it is over a month away - but OMG time flies in SL and all of the good costumes/ideas will be taken. The big challenge? To find a costume you would not wear to a theme party in SL! Last year, I was Sexy Snow White. This year I have a couple of ideas but no definite choice yet. What I like to do for most costumes is buy a couple of them and combine the best elements of each - maybe throwing in some lingerie for good measure -- that way I know no one will have the same exact costume as I do.
One thing I do know for certain is that Jerremy and I want to throw a BIG Halloween party for everyone we know! Halloween is Jerremy's favorite holiday so we are doing it up big - meaning our home and the Starting Point dormitory are both going to get decorated. YAY! (We are such big dorks but omg we have fun!) We have to start looking for pumpkins and cob webs and everything!!
Speaking of Starting Point, one other thing I have been worried about is the urge to "mother" the new residents at Starting Point. The first residents are starting to select rooms and move in now. I soooooo want them to start asking questions and ask for help. I do not want to smother them though, so I fight the urge to IM them every five minutes asking if they need any help. (My gawd -- I need a pet or child or something in RL, I think, or I will unconsciously try to meet my maternal drive with the newbies.)
What else have I been thinking about? Fall clothes. I find it so funny that I want to dress my av to match my RL weather and season. But I am bored with all my clothes and I can't find any good Fall stuff to buy. Are any of you having the same problem? Poor Jerremy is going to end up seeing me wear the same jeans and hoodie until Spring unless I can find some good shops with Fall clothes.
I have also been thinking about Alicia's and Cen's posts about friendship. They have inspired me to make better contact with the people on my friendship lists and not be so self-conscious about IMing people. And if anyone ever feels like IMing me - please do! You are not bothering me. If I am busy, I will just ask if I can catch up with you at another time. No biggie. No IM is an interruption IMHO. The reason I love SL is the people -- it is nothing without you!

Ow Gawds... Last Halloween my graphics were still so bad I didn't think about costume... I couldn't have seen what anyone was wearing anyway. But in a world where being a furry, a spaceman, a sword-toting warrior with huge bug wings is a NORMAL thing, what the heck to do for a costume? I thought I had trouble with that in Real Life; now what am I going to go as?
ReplyDeleteHoney, I blame myself. I have made your life too happy and easy. How can Girl Wonder go off "finding SLove, finding herself and finding wonder in SL" living like we do? Well you had to know it couldn't last forever.... I should let you know about some things I had been keeping from you...
ReplyDeleteThe only reason we were able to get the "great" deal I got on Ghambt and Moodle was I over leveraged all our assets and bought an adjustable rate mortgage with a rate that is ballooning 10% a month. I suspect we will be out on the street any day now. Well at least living at an info hub. Eating freebie food... dressing from the discount racks...gasp!
I also do have a severe prim addiction! I just can't get enough!! Sometimes I think I black out when I binge build. I wake up and log in at strange sandboxes, my inventory swollen and obviously abused. I just hope that I am not doing the whole dorm thing....to corrupt newbies!! I...I had to catch myself today. I have made some high prim stuff and was trying to give it to one of the residents with full permission!! Telling them...feel free to edit it. No one is looking. Have fun...don't hold back!! I am sooo ashamed....
And lastly, I have been running off occasionally and shacking up with a woman in strange and unusual private suites..... oh wait...that is you...and our never ending honeymoon..never mind ;-)

Babe, I can't wait for our Halloween party :-) Hey, do people dress as SLebrities? It could be interesting to see some takes on Lindens, successful business people, even the as one of the Men in White - Crap or Hamlet (ok one is a robot and female in appearance ;-) Maybe we should make people wear only something that they made!! Hmm, not all are prim junkies like me, there might be a lot of people dressed as prim plywood boxes. So bad idea.
I too was thinking about what Alicia and CeN blogged about friendships. I know I should IM much more than I do. I tend to get caught up building or working on some project of my own and not saying hello more. So I will try to watch that. And those few friends out there that I have managed to make, be sure to say hello if you see me come online too!
Oh and honey, I will like you in any clothes...even none at all ;-)
I dress to suit the seasons too. When the leaves turn or I'm sitting around chilly, Cas is dressed appropriately. I've been wondering how it's going to affect my fae - gowns? a cape? not at all?
ReplyDeleteI had like upteen Halloween dances & parties to go to last year - I spent time hunting for just the right thing and pulling all kinds of combinations - SOOO much fun! I even have a t-shirt that says "this is my costume" to wear when I'm not at a party. :D
And me too - IM whenever you want to chat.
