Roller Girl!
I picked up some roller skates that I love from Pixel Mode this weekend. I couldn't take pics of me skating in them but I took some other shots that I wanted to share. They come with an AO and they are great for getting around in laggy places. You will barrel right through!
Now I just need to join a roller derby team!

Meeting SL Friends in RL
Hello there! Been a long time!
This post really isn't about meeting SL friends in RL. It is more about running across people in RL that make me think "That person reminds me of so and so in SL"
Don't know what I mean? Let me explain:
I work at a community college and I see students fairly often. There is a particular student that comes into our lunch room and I always think to myself "That is what I imagine Aisuru looking like in RL". I don't know Aisuru in RL but I do know that she has a passion for Asian culture, etc. and that her AV is Asian. So for some reason whenever I see this petite Asian student who dresses really cute I think of Aisuru. As a matter of fact, in my mind she is Aisuru. When I see her in the hall, I think "Oh there is Aisuru again" I don't know if Aisuru is Asian in RL...for all I know she could be a blonde?
There are other people that I will see in RL and I think to myself...I bet that is what Sai looks like or Alicia looks like. This is just based off of the bits and pieces that I know about their RL and what I know about them in SL.
Does anyone else do that or is it just me?

Blog Fail! I suck!
Well, I failed the challenge. I was doing good until the topic was left up to us and then I realized that I had nothing to say....so massive fail!
On another note, let me say that I am bored with SL. That's right...BORED! This is not going to be a dramatic post that I am leaving, blah, blah because I am not but there is really nothing that is getting me excited. Shopping..blah; building...blah; hair fair....maybe, if I could get in there.
Not only that after sitting at a computer for nine hours at work and then coming home and sitting at a computer in the evening is just too much! I need to start getting back into things in my RL like working out, reading and my other favorite sit on my ass activity...watch tv!
It is time that I spent more time with my RL pet than my SL ones and spend more time with my hubby even if it is just doing my other favorite sit on my ass activity...watch tv.
I am toying with the idea of starting a home and garden feed and putting another blog on there about home and garden stuff. I was thinking of asking builders to put their blogs on there and making it as big and massive as the fashion feed but we will see. I'm not really motivated to start that right now. It would be like anything else in SL to me. It starts out fun and challenging and then just turns into a chore.
Ok, enough of my whining and back to trying to get into the hair fair!

BBC Day 4 Topic
So who would I want to be in SL and why? Well, I am actually pretty happy being me in SL but if I were to pick someone, I guess it would be Gabrielle Sinatra.
Why her? You may ask. Well, I happen to think she is extremely talented! I think she does amazing photographs and does some awesome stuff in photoshop. I think it would be fun to do that type of creating in SL. I only wish I had a pinky's worth of her talent!
If you search for her in SL, you will find her flicker address and business information. She also took my profile pic!

My Very Own Free Sim? For Me?
What would I do with my very own free sim that I could not make residential or commercial? Hmmm, lets see?? I have a heart for animals and in particular homeless animals and animals in shelters and the feral cat issue, etc. So I would probably make my sim into some type of educational informative island about this.
I would make it green and lush with mountains and get some pets from Zoobys and VKC and other places and just try to promote ways to help the animals and make it a better world for them.
So, if you are interested in learning of ways to help, I am going to put some links here of some great organizations that you may have or never have heard of!

My Perfect Day in Second Life
Alicia asks today "What is your Perfect Day in SL?".
Well, one of the things that makes a good day in SL for me is to have a high balance of Lindens in my account and being able to shop and buy whatever I want, when I want it! That is not something that I get to do in RL so being able to do it in SL provides me with a rush and some retail therapy at times. A recent really good day was when Zaara had her 50% off sale and I got to buy just about one of everything in my favorite color and not even worry about the effect on my account.
Another really good day and I mean an awesome day is when I finally figure out that SL gadget that has been frustrating the hell out of me for days! I have purchased the Prim Docker and the Perfect Sitter and I am surprised that I am not bald in RL from trying to figure those things out.
Oh sure, the comments on exchange said they were soooooo easy to learn how to use. I mean after all there are videos and written directions for you to learn how to use it so how hard could it really be? I mean they are practically idiot proof! Well, I have said it before on here and I will say it again and wave my hand in the air with a clump of hair in it and say "Hello, number one idiot over here who can't get it..help me, help me!"
So when I do finally get it and everything clicks after, oh, I don't know, days and weeks and I can finally move on in my project that is a very good day! A very good day indeed! Almost damn near perfect!

BBC 2009
Yay, it is time for the Blogger Challenge of 2009. Our first topic is "How long have you been a blogger? How has it enriched your life?"
Well, I have been SL blogging for about a year now. As far as how it has enriched my life, I'm not really sure. I mean it can take a lot of time to blog and that is time that I don't always have in RL. To be honest some times it feels more like a chore than anything. So why do I do it at all? Mostly to share things that I may come across in SL that I think "Wow, does anyone know about this place?" I never heard of it so I should get it out there. That is why I want to do more home and garden type of blogging and reviews.
It has enriched my SL life because I have made friends in SL through blogging that I probably would not have met. I think reading other's blogs rather than having my own has been more enriching.
So there you have it...one challenge down and six more to go!
