Taking a Sabbatical

I'm putting this on hold for a bit, because my SLife is on hold too. I just don't feel like playing. I have however been working on the business and will start keeping that blog up more. So check it out. *Kisses*

Nothing is Sacred

Nothing is sacred any more. Used to be when you had a role playing community that the theme was the theme, period. If you were RPing Gor, then it was Gor. If you were RPing Firefly then that's exactly what it was. Today or maybe I should say in SL today the RP is not pure. I bet if I went to the RP worlds where they allow for deviations like StarTrek or one of those where the universe is the limit I'd be hard pressed to find the garbage that lives in the other RPs.

People get mad at the Gor community for banning furries. Yet there were none in that world. Period. If you're going to RP Gor then no furries. It's simple. Now you might ask why I am on this soap box now. Well it's this. I went through the Firefly worlds last night. I was very disappointed. There were so many who either had the names of the original characters (I have always thought that was the tackiest thing you could possibly do when RPing a world, not to mention completely unoriginal) and/or they were NOT human. I reviewed the entire series again and reread all the comments by Joss himself about how they have no aliens in his world. This includes mutant fairies and nekos.

WHY do you have to accomodate those people in RP worlds where they do not exist? WHY do they INSIST on exisiting in the first place? I mean when I go into an RP world to RP in it, I do the research. I learn about that world and what it has and doesn't have and it would never occur to me to try to introduce something in it that simply did not exist within that world's context unless I could come up with a believable reason for that type of character. A plethora of nekos does not the Blue Hand make.

I have to learn to speak Spanish in my own country.
I have to accomodate blind people on the web.
I have to allow furries and idiots into my RP world where none are supposed to exist.
I WANT SOMEONE TO ACCEPT ME in their world,
learn my language,
make pages I would like,
and worlds that I can RP in where the world is like it is written,
NOT how idiots want to write themselves into it.

I know we could learn Chinese but OH LOOK! They've learned English!

It's the nature of open public RPs is all. In the olden days just after dinosaurs walked the earth, we played in small closed worlds with acutal rules based on the theme it was adapted from, with a game master to rule over oddities and the occassional lapse into being politically correct.

You almost feel bad for the creators of these worlds when people insist on bastardising them in the name of equality or whatever.

The world is NOT politically correct, especially when it's one made up for a movie or a book series - get over it.

The Hottest Male Avatar of 2008

I should note that my friend Bone won The Hottest Male Avatar of 2008: Bone Mosten and as a result was featured in the New World Notes Blog. Check him out! YAY Boner!!

You can also read his latest article for Second Style Magazine called Peacocking in SL and his own blog at BONED.

Valentine's Day

Valentines day this year was wonderful. I went dancing with my friend Q and another friend Gunner on a different day. I gave a skypad valentine to most of my friends. I was upbeat and happy (first time in years for this day). Took Sin out poseball shopping which was a lot of fun, he's so sexy.

I've also been taking a look at the Firefly/Serenity RP in SL. There's a lot of towns/ships and worlds to explore in it. A lot to do and a lot of variety. It should be exciting.

More, more, more!

Yesterday was such a great day. You have any idea how long it's been that I've had such a good day like yesterday in SL? I won't say why completely or who all the people were who made it so fun but I just wanted to write somewhere that it was a fab day.

Oh I also got the high round score on Greedy Greedy, YAY! I hung out with my SLbrother for a bit. I talked for a long time with Ken. My SLstep-son is feeling better. Oh and I applied to dance somewhere. Just for grins.

Today I'm going to start boxing stuff that I have and figuring out what graphics I need for it.

Rekindlings...

I'm so excited, my good friend and ex, Magnum asked me to sell his stuff again under Wicked, Inc. He's been building some incredibly awesome stuff and I'll probably have to transfer stuff to Talion or Tia to add all the groups I'll need to set up in new locations. For one thing he specializes in Medieval/Gorean style homes and furnishings and I'll need to get some shops back in that area. Since I left it I haven't had any shops there so I left all the groups.

I'll get going on Wicked, Inc. soon. I've been having trouble with the CSS I picked for the site, it keeps writing over the header graphic. grrrrrr

This picture reminds me of web design. Yeah, yeah, I know that's what I do for a living but still.

Time to Lighten Up!

So yeah again another disaster left me almost destroyed again however, I'm tired of acting the victim. I don't do anything except try to make others happy most of the time. Well enough. Sooooo...

The gang and I have become addicted to Greedy Greedy! It is so fun, especially when we turn voice on and sit around laughing through the hours of it. Feels good to hang out with friends again and laugh.

I've spent the last couple days making something for The Diamond Mine and found an awesome program for making tileable textures which will help a lot for the Transfer Station I have to build. Actually should have already built it.

I've redone my living area although Baron's Ruin's are giving me fits at the moment. They aren't lining up and I've gone all around them and lined them up like 80 times it seems like. Took a break to play Greedy Greedy. LOL I need to rework some of the buildings and get them in a RezFoo so I can box them. Many of them I do have the pictures for but keep debating if I want to change the company look and rebox stuff after I rework it. I seriously need to redo all my items and up date them. The babies and the kid stuff I made over 4 years ago and I could do so much with a lot of it now that I couldn't do then. The Avatars need some updating too heck when I made most of them there were no flexi prims and other such new (although may not seem that way to you) things. I promised someone I would rework the Leprechan and really should do it before March.

I got wind the other day that one of the kids I used to know when I ran the children's park is building stuff with my prims somehow so that the designer ends up being me. I'm getting people IM'ing me for service with these things and I've never made that type of stuff. I'll go intimadate him later and am not assuming he's being devious, just not careful. Yeah yeah too nice I know.

I've been hanging out a Lady's Night Out and Sensual Nights as usual and lately I've come across a new club called, The Diamond Mine. The guys are sweet and have a lot of potential to build up to the caliber of LNO and SN, I really want to help them achieve since I gave up my own club. I figure why not help others.

My ex's son has been a Godsend. When I am down and depressed he drags me over to his house for some Greedy Greedy or driving his motorcycles through his house. Totally rad doing that it feels sooooo bad. I can just imagine the tire marks on the parkay flooring. hehe

Well that's about what's up at the moment, Shaddow's girls are going to kill me I think for introducing him to Greedy Greedy. Ken and I are talking again and he's moved on to become a fantastic DJ. So now we get our Greedy Greedy games with a live DJ! What more could a girl ask for... oh heh... ummm maybe some thing but I won't tell. LOL
