more than the past

Inventory organization is really tough! I’ve been trying to tackle my monstrous mess for the last couple of days, and as a result, I haven’t had the time to sort through items to blog. I’ve been trying to keep from buying new things, too, in the hope that I will keep from adding to this huge pile of things that need properly placed.

Instead, while taking a break from (read: avoiding) organizing, I decided to go through some old snapshots I’d taken. I really wanted to post, but had nothing, so I thought maybe I should try to recreate an old snapshot for the blog. I might make a habit of this for those times when I desperately need to post and can’t find just the right thing to blog.

Now, it’s back to work for Ai. Hopefully upcoming: something shiny and new!

Miss Strawberry Singh’s meme really did come in handy. I totally procrastinated on the outfit post until today! (Actually, I had some minor RL issues, but that is totally beside the point.) I’ve been thinking about what I would do with this post since I first tried on the demo of the dress I just knew I was going to buy.

Emi alerted me to erratic’s sale and we popped over there to see what we could find. Although a lot of the clothing was gorgeous, this dress, Lindsay, really stood out to me. I’ve been looking for something like this dress for a while now, but never dreamed I would find it in a shop like this.

erratic has some of the most gorgeous mesh textures I’ve seen in game. The clothing is a bit on the spendy side for me, as I don’t have a lot of lindens to burn, but it is %300 worth the price. Speaking of the price tag: there’s a huge sale going on there right now until the end of the month, so if you fall in love with something like I did, make sure to pop in there and grab it before April!

ride the wave

Oh no, it’s another blog meme!

I intended to make an outfit post today (which I might still do that a little later), but I saw something in Strawberry Singh’s blog that called out to me. Procrastination. My favourite activity! I can definitely take a little procrastination to help me with that inventory organization I am desperately trying to avoid.

Without (much further) ado:

1. What is the rez date for your current SL Avatar that you use most often? 6/17/2012, angeltrip. This is not my first SL avatar, but I never used my previous ones. I’d never had a computer that could properly run Second Life. Aside from that, it was so confusing when I signed on the first few times that I didn’t want to continue trying to play it! This is my third or fourth registered avatar, but I have no idea how to log onto the other ones anymore.

2. Where was the first place you made friends as a newb and got to know people in Second Life? I never went through this stage. I learned SL with my real life friends and they are who I have always talked to and hung out with in the game.

3. Where do you spend most of your SL time now? On a pose stand at home, generally naked, or at least bald. I’m hardly ever properly dressed unless I’m going into public. Sometimes I will also dance while I’m afk, and I am generally always at least partially afk while online.

4. Who is your closest friend in Second Life? (only pick one) Emi!

5. What is the most favorite thing in your inventory? (only pick one) Oh, this is a hard one! If I had to pick just one thing, I’d say my petite avatar. There is something that is so charming in them. I like being a tiny person every once in a while, though it’s difficult to do in some places because of the camera issues.

6. The last thing you purchased in Second Life? Lindsay by erratic. Watch out for that post!

7. What color clothing does your avatar wear most often? Black. I don’t own many colourful things.

8. Do you prefer to walk, run or fly? I prefer flying, definitely. I don’t do it in small stores or near to the ground to avoid possibly annoying someone, though. I get a little sad if I’m in a large sim and find it no fly. I can understand in some sims, but in others..

9. What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in SL? My friends and I do a lot of weird things like riding upside down in go karts and having random dance-offs, but nothing too “crazy”. (Seriously, I’m like the most boring person ever.)

10. Who would you like to play YOU, in the movie of your SLife? This beautiful lady.

disco time

I’ve been wearing these cute Vintage Roller Skates from The Secret Store ever since I got them. Currently in a gacha at The Arcade, these cute skates come in so many colours, but my favourite is the one I’m wearing, black neon. I love these skates so much that I had to make a whole pose set for them!

I decided to finally take these babies for a proper spin at a rink, but, well..

Better luck next time?

I saw this meme in Emi’s blog, that originated from the talented Strawberry Singh, and thought I might as well jump on the band wagon (even if a little late).

Seven SL Facts:

1. I have a low end laptop that wasn’t made for programs like SL, and so I constantly run on low settings with horrible FPS. Nevertheless, I like to go sightseeing and try to turn my options up when I can in order to see things closer to the way the creators intended. Sometimes I get a little bummed out when I see my friends and their constantly beautiful surroundings. One day I’ll be able to get another laptop, I hope!

2. After seeing the beautiful creations in the game, I’m trying to learn how to create some things myself. A challenge given fact one, but I’m happy to undertake it.

3. My inventory is a complete mess. I created folders inside of folders inside of folders.. 40000 items later and I’m so lost. I have a hard time deleting things in order to cut down because it’s sooo disorganized.

4. I really, really love horns. I only have a small collection right now, but I’m always looking to grow it.

5. My favourite thing to do is sit on random things. Whenever I see something, my first reaction is to want to sit on it. I get really sad when I can’t sit on things. It’s weird!

6. I also really like to dance for no reason, especially while walking. I like walking in poses, too.

7. I love using SL as a platform to stay in touch with the people I care about. No matter where I am in the world, I can pop on and see any of my best friends, and we can even go out and do fun things together. It’s the best part of SL!

Even if I don’t have many interesting facts, it was fun to think about! I’ve come to the conclusion that my second life is really, really boring, though..

Thanks for reading anyway!
