Sweet 16

So, there is this "16 Things" challenge going around and I practically had to beg to be tagged for it, for cripes sake. Finally, I was pity tagged by Alicia Chenaux, Bettye Dugan, and Meara Deschanel.

Now, I don't quite know the rules and I can't find them anywhere. Rumor has it that you are supposed to write 16 things about yourself and then post a picture of yourself from RL (IDK...that is just what I heard.) But, I will probably make up some rules along the way.

I now present 16 facts about myself in SL:

1. I used to have man hands. By used to, I mean last week. Thank heaven for slider bars.
   
2. I got my first condo when I was three weeks old. I was amazed - simply astonished - with one feature of the unit: one-way windows! I thought my landlord was a genius. I could not figure out how this astounding feature worked. [insert eye roll at my naiveté here]
   
3. I am writing this while sitting in my office at my home in Ghambt.
4. My half-rez day is February 20th.
5. I fly everywhere I can - even in places with obviously low ceilings and many obstacles to traverse. I am stubborn that way. The 'thud' sound of me hitting my head on things is like a drum solo sometimes.
   
   
6. My husband and I have four adorable little cottages down by our boardwalk that we have no idea what to do with right now. Stores? Apartments? Stores? Apartments?
7. One of the many reasons that I rarely wear prim eyelashes is that I have a huge fear that they will not rez for people and I will just have big gray rectangles above and below my eyes. So, I just set my "system" eyelashes to what may be a laughable length and hope for the best.
   
8. I once bought an expensive fat pack of sandals with the toes attached. However, when I put them on at home, the Frankenstein-esque nature of the shoes grossed me out so much that I threw the entire fat pack away.
   
9. I own a dog that makes my legs go funny. So, I rarely take him out for walks.
10. I don't have an AO...just a 'sexy walk' attachment. (I know!! Gasp!) So, I stand around like a newbie most of the time. Did you know that most newbies spend half their time standing with their feet more than shoulder width apart with their hands on their hips? That's a pretty confident pose for people who are probably still wearing system hair.
    
11. The coffee cup on my desk has been warm and steamy for about 6 months now.
12. I am still trying to rid my inventory of all of the freebie jewelry I picked up when I was a newbie at the SL Jewelry Expo, held in 200 B.C. Stuff keeps popping up out of nowhere!
    
13. In our living room, we have two texture changing couches with pillows and a matching chair that can all be made into 1000 different combinations of colors and patterns...and I always use plain ol' beige with no pattern.
14. I just melt when my husband, Jerremy, wears a construction outfit when he builds or a wet suit when he works in our pool or water features. Now, if he would only get a farmer outfit to wear when he works in our garden, I'd be all over him.
    
15. I am so proud that I figured out how to make an object giver (to hand out swim bracelets for the pool at Starting Point) all by myself. [insert eye roll here in about 3 months]
    

OK...those are the first 15 things about me. Now for the picture of myself from RL:


Picture courtesy of my favorite 4 year-old artist, Mia. BTW, those are not eyeglasses in the picture...she just gave me huge, buggy eyes for some reason. And I appear to be running for the door.

And finally, the last fact about myself...

16. I don't like to ruin the magic of Second Life. :-P
