I just hope the schmucks responsible for 3 of the heads quitting are quite happy with themselves. Not only have they messed things up for everyone else, but now the remaining staff shoulders an even larger burden, and Undercity isn’t the only “thing” in SL that people like Rai have going on anyway.
I’ve sleep to tend to, but I wanted to get that off of my chest. Within the next few weeks, I think I’ll finally write that post/”manifesto” I’ve been kicking around my RL skull about friendships in SL. Anyone reading this who’s on my friends list might find it interesting.
Recent Undercity Goings-On
Unproductive, but happy
I got very little done IRL yesterday, but had probably one of my best days in SL yet as Janet.
The day started with me being late TPing into The Milk ‘N’ Kookies Show because of my laptop being sticky, (not literally; I’m careful with sticky things around this thing!) and naturally the crowed made my laptop chug along even more. I downloaded the episode a) because I liked it and b) because I missed the beginning. I feel a little better knowing Koffe is as bad of a parker as I am. XD (Had quite an adventure backing my parents’ minivan out of the church parking lot today…Oi….pedestrians didn’t hesitate at all to walk behind me. I at least try and ascertain if the driver can even SEE me!) And I’m glad I religiously (no joke intended =-p ) set my parking break… ANYWAY. =-p
Later on that day, I get an e-mail about a surprise party for Adz’s 3rd Rezday. Adz was one of the first folks who talked to me in SL as a kid, and surprise parties rock anyway, so I TPed in. We filled the sim, which gives me a strange, twisted sense of accomplishment, (though not as much of one as I get when a group crashes a sim. =-p ) Koffekid was the DJ, and we even played tag for part of the time. Honestly, the party was better than any RL birthday parties I’ve been to, my own included.
As an RL kid, I was that kid who no one wanted to invite unless their parents forced them to, but no one seemed to mind my presence this time. It honestly felt more like why I wanted to become a child avatar to begin with, to have FUN! My main av generally hangs out on Christian sims, but many of them are always serious, serious, serious, and all too often can’t “forgive” the fact that I’m Catholic, (and devoutly so IRL.) Janet’s profile clearly states that, but no one in SL kid-dom seems to give a flying fart. I intend that faith to be a major driving factor in my Undercity RP character and the character sheet was approved anyway.
The Willowdale Sunday School idea’s going to become a short-term VBS in June, just to do a “dry-run.” If it goes well, Erica and I want to expand it to Sunday School on a regular basis. ALL of the aforementioned is UNOFFICIAL, though, so take it for what it’s worth. If I can ever become part of an SL “family,” I think Willowdale is precisely the kind of town I want to live in. ^_^
I’ve thought about using one of the many “adoption agencies” in SL to get hooked up with a family, but I have no way of knowing which are reputable and which are not. I don’t want to accidently wind up listed on an ageplay agency or anything like that. I also suspect some agencies, or even just adult avs, might not appreciate some of the “requirements” I have, like that I want my SL “parents” to be SL partners, male and female, and be the same sex as their avatars IRL. Anyway, more on that would be another blog post for another day.
Anyway…some JavaScript homework is calling my name, so I guess I should scamper. God bless! ^_^
