Thursday Happy: My Pixel Paradise

They say that the best things in life are free. Sigh. Well not this one, but it is definitely worth it.

This week’s Thursday Happy is my personal paradise: Jerremy’s and my island. On the corner of our land, there is a small tropical island surrounded by protected water. When we moved into the sim, Jerremy landscaped it and set up a crackling campfire on one side. We have an awesome hammock there, too. I love lying here listening to the waves. It is my little oasis. Gilligan has nothing on me.

There are even more reasons that our island makes me happy:

• There are no cannibals.
• Jerremy and I can use the island to play “The Professor and Mary Ann.” A very innocent game where we discuss making radios out of coconuts and debate the pros and cons of trying to build a raft.
• SLwine Flu has not yet reached the island.
• The bird and wave sounds drown out the voices in my head.
• I get a kick out of seeing people on boats and jet skis go by. (But, I really need a waving animation to enjoy this fully.)
• We get surprisingly few pirates.
• Sometimes random people stop by and sit and relax on our island. (We can see them from our house.) I kinda like that. I like when they visit our garden, too.
• Since my typist is landlocked, being there feels like a real mini-vacation.
  
• It has enough vegetation on it that it is “clothing optional” for the most part.

And with that, I am going to go rest on my hammock and wait to be rescued...from RL. :-)
