Sometimes Sinner, Sometimes Saint

Side note: interesting WordPress ‘bug’. So on the SecondLifeKid.com homepage, where it shows recent updates with a small excerpt…apparently that shows ‘draft’ entries, too, even when not logged in. It also re-does that every time you edit said draft, even after posting newer entries. Not cool. I had that entry marked as ‘draft’ still because it’s still not refined and ready for prime-time, especially given that that entry may well cost me almost every friend I have in SL on this avie. (If I’m going to be ‘excommunicated’ from anyone’s Friends list, I’d rather it be for what I DID mean rather than what I stated poorly and was subsequently misinterpreted.)

Before I created this avatar, Linden Labs released what I thought was a long-overdue “supplement” to Second Life, the SLim messenger. (Yes, I know calling it the “SLim messenger” is redundant. Tough.) Read the rest of this entry »

But I’ll stick it behind one of these “read more” tags for those who care not to hear me whine. Read the rest of this entry »

So in UC, Murdoch, the 2nd-in-command “superior” to my character, managed to get himself into another fight tonight (Monday). Being the “I-want-to-protect-everyone” girl that she is, she gets involved. She can now add “poison-knife scar” to her list of battle scars, but the fight wasn’t as eventful as the last. That’s fine, though, really. It had its purpose in the plot, and that’s the important part. Read the rest of this entry »

In the space of one week, I’ve gone from being pretty much universally ignored in Undercity to my character being hazed into rAg. (The av’s 12, before anyone gets any twisty ideas. Freaks. =-p )
One character I’ve met this week I’ve also talked to some in IM, OOC, and he seems pretty cool. Yay making friends!

I’ve learned I should never, EVER, listen to The Milk ‘N’ Kookies Show when everyone else in this house is asleep. I always wind up laughing too hard! XD (In case I’ve not mentioned it before, due to this lovely economy IRL and my subsequent unemployment (Job fair coming up, targeted towards the specific industry I’m looking for work in! Prayers appreciated for those so inclined!) I still live with my parents. All SL activities, especially those as Janet, have to be “under the hood” to my parents. That’s why very few have ever heard me speak on voice. (Sok, Wlfric, and whoever else we were playing SL-Monopoly one day have, but I had a cold, so I probably sounded like a dude,) and why I’m on at odd hours. Total side note, I’d thought about asking them if I could introduce my youngest sister, 16, to Teen SL, but now that there’s rumors of the teen and adult grids being combined, there ain’t no way in Hades I’m doing that. Note that, Lindens. If there’s a chance in Hades of my sister being exposed to a Gorean, it ain’t worth it. (Yeah, she can’t get onto the adult continent, but there ain’t a single Linden rule saying that those folks have to stay on that continent.)) OK, breaking out of the parenthetical comment before I drive myself crazy, but staying on that thought, part of me hopes that, since the adult continent will require age verification, (see this post on the Linden blog for details,) maybe that’ll be enough to keep some folks off of that continent. It’s easier to, ahem, indulge (I prefer the word “sin,” but…oh screw it, if I’m going to get flamed, I’ll get flamed either way,) in those sorts of things when you feel it’s 100% anonymous—after all, you even created a “secret” G-mail address just for this, right? (Insert comments about secrets and Google here.) However, since requiring age verification will require some real life personally identifying information, the person just might think the better of it. Well, that’s my hope, anyway. In a perfect world, no one would be twisted enough to create that content to begin with. (And dude, you can’t call it censorship of thought when I’m talking about the thought never existing to begin with. That’s like murdering someone who’s never been conceived.)

Sometimes I wonder if I’m too “conservative” to make it in most of the “kids community”…(Politics, for what it’s worth, are (in the USA) either the Republican party or the Constitution party, whichever candidate I like better of the two. I’ve also done write-ins, not of the Micky-Mouse variety.)

Controversial material to follow:

This is the post I’ve alluded to a bit in previous ones, where I will opine my (likely unasked-for) thoughts on friendships and that whole barrel of monkeys. Unfortunately, I’m writing this coming off of the breakup of my first dating relationship, so if I was cynical at any point, I ask forgiveness. I’ll probably wind up editing what follows this paragraph about half-a-bajillion times before I click Publish, indeed, it’s late enough I probably won’t even finish it the night I’m starting it (2:39AM CDT on Thursday the 14th of May,) so this might sound chunky, depending on how many times I walk away from it to tend to RL. I’m also quite loopy ATM on account of a wonderful cold I picked up this past weekend visiting my alma mater to watch some friends graduate. (The school’s a diploma-mill, so they’ll have fun finding a job in a good economy, let alone this. I graduated last year and am still unemployed, and while some of my majors were less than “useful,” my third major was Computer Information Systems, and I don’t think anyone can argue that that’s something theoretically “hire-able.”)

I seriously wish I could just go on voice in SL right now; I have a cold, and my already-normally-low-for-a-female voice sounds like Joan Rivers after a trachiometry. {sp?!} My sister (RL) is calling me “Trachiometry Girl,” but it got her to give me the last of the ice cream in the house, so yay!

I wish WordPress had something like LiveJournal’s LJ-cuts; this would be a good entry for them.

Today…OK, tonight at like 3AM CST, I signed up for the Undercity RPG. I’m giving my character an age upgrade, 12, because I figured by that point IRL I was more or less speaking as I do now and thus would not have to worry so much about slipping out of voice in a literal sense, not just OOC slips. Yeah, the character is very much a Mary-Sue, but this is my first “real” RPG attempt, and to start I figure I have to play what I know. The turning point of her character honestly is what I think would be the crux for me had I been in that situation as a child: all her (admittedly short) life thus far, she’d trusted adults, be it parents, teachers, whatever. Her peers were cruel to her and she had little interest in having anything to do with them whatsoever. Now, though, after Zero Hour, those same peers are all she has— her very survival depends on the very same people she never would have trusted to safeguard a penny before. Well, that’s roughly what’s on the character sheet, and that needs to be approved by the Powers That Be. I hope this is something I can have fun with, and it’ll give me a reason to log in as Janet more often. However, I will say right now that things with my main av will trump, so if I have to work where that av works, I’ll be there, regardless of what is going on in Undercity. I pretty much have to have that rule, because any Lindens Janet has are from the other av, and yeah I get the L$50/active-week stipend because my av is…old (Arianna Pinkerton is one of the few I’ve encountered in SL kid-dom older than that avatar,) but I like the extra income. (OK, it’s tips and some of it does go back into the club, but you know what I mean.) RL, naturally, also trumps, and given that between now and July I am attempting to relocate with a friend from college to a city 7 hours plus from where I am now, things may get hectic. I’ve lived in the same house my entire life and this’ll be a far more substantial uprooting than college was! Eep! Pray for this effort, if you are so inclined! Danke! [/sidenote]

OK, it’s 4:35AM CST…I should probably sleep… Oyasuminasai! ^_^
