So here it is.
As my SL profile states, I have another avatar hailing from 2005, but for reasons, I wish to keep my SL kid-dom totally separate from my main ID. I’ve read everything available in the Second Life Children Learning Tree, and profiles of other SL Kid avatars, and decided this was something I wanted to do.
I guess one can loosely put me in the category of one who would like to “re-write,” as it were, some of her unpleasant childhood memories with better ones. I grew up in a house where both parents were very psychologically and emotionally abusive, but of course since they rarely laid a hand on me, I didn’t have the right to complain. School was heck because, while, despite ADD, I rocked out at academics, I could never figure out the fine art of getting alone with my peers. From where I stood, I was breathing and earning teasing for having the audacity to keep myself as part of the census. That’s another part I’d like to “do-over.”
This entry being the exception, my general, intended format for writing on this blog will be that entries I write “in character,” i.e. in my best attempt to characterize child-like dialogue, will be done in normal font, (overall,) like this is. If I want to write “as an adult,” as in as the woman behind the keyboard, (aged 24 IRL, FWIW,) then that will be all in italics like this. This way, you, dear reader, can tell before actually reading, some sense of what sort of entry I intended to write.
However, I’ll start all that next entry. For now, I’ll just type as I’ve been typing most of this entry.
I’ve been listening to back episodes of The Milk ‘N’ Cookies Show and it’s been quite amusing. ^_^ Tonight, one of the officers of an SL Kid group invited me to hear his uncle play a set of Grateful Dead covers. Aside from “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” I’m far from a Dead-Head, but I can appreciate a good cover by a good musician when I hear one, though his internet was acting up something horrid. Sure kills the stereotype of cable being better than DSL. Not saying DSL wouldn’t have the same problem, but the way Comcast commercials sell their product, you’d think cable never has any problems, period. (Qualification: the performer in question was not on Comcast. Comcast lawyers, put down the mouse or phone, and close this site before your employer realizes what sort of blog you’re reading at work! =-p) (WARNING TO READERS: I am a colossal geek. I was a bookworm during first-life childhood, and I think the geekage really is a natural outgrowth of that, though other childhood-bookworms may manifest their geekdom in different ways.) Anyway, I enjoyed that and also visited some other “kid-safe” places now stored as LMs or in my profile.
I wanted to go to the Sunday story telling at the tree house, but the first life body requires a bit more sleep than the Second Life one does. =-p (OK, my fault for staying up too dang late. I swear I’m going to bed as soon as I finish this.)
OK, finished here, but I have night prayers (yes, I really did that as a kid, same as I do now,) and finishing an episode of MNK.
Reminder Summary: plain text = IN-CHARACTER (except for this entry); italics text = OUT-OF-CHARACTER
I admit I may scrap that scheme if I only ever seem to blog in one voice.
I had an ending, but WP ate it. I blame my internet.
