Wow… it’s amazing how one minute you have pretty untouched land all around you.. and the next minute you have a dude selling children’s shapes and skins next door. >.< I had decided to buy a little parcel to put up my OnRez vendor for those who don’t like buying online… and everything was great for a whole 2 minutes. Their build wasn’t terrible and they had a little garden.. but I couldn’t help feeling like folks would associate my little spot with theirs and be weirded out. So I sold it off this morning and took a little loss for it but I was happy to unload it so quickly. I literally was in the process of turning the “For Sale” sign around when it was sold. I found a new spot a bit later and went ahead and purchased it.. though it remains to be seen what will pop up overnight. I’ve come to terms with mainland being full of..um weirdness.. but I really didn’t want to take the risk that my little skin vendor would be associated with little boy love in the next parcel. Hopefully the burning trash pile and dilapidated mobile home next to my new parcel decide to stick around for a while. At least they add some ambiance to the area. I’m already rather attached to seeing the flickering flames in the trash heap.. almost brings a tear to the eye. Or is that the smell of burning garbage?

I was feeling cheery so here’s the look I put together. I am loving the new hair from Gritty Kitty! The little bow is just too cute! And o.m.g., the chucks from Akeyo are just the most awesome thing. I love the billion color change options and they are adorable. Chucks are my favorite RL form of footwear so having such a versatile pair in my wardrobe in SL is super fun. Get used to seeing them ’cause they make me happy. ^^

Intros
Although my original blog isn’t new.. this one is fresh and pretty and new looking so I thought I’d make an intro postish thing.
So yes… I am the entity behind the handle Fricka Morgath. I started playing Second Life Novemberish of 2007. Yes, I’m still really a newb.. even now. I’m an old hat at MMORPGs though… mainly World of Warcraft which is still my main gaming addiction. I don’t have any kind of graphic artsy talents but I like to pretend I can make pretty stuff so I make everyone suffer though my terrible designs which I like to sneak into pictures here and there. Some random facts about uh my SL.
* My favorite thing to do in Second Life is screenshots. I’m loathe to call it photography because it’s a screenshot. An awfully pretty, super cute and somewhat difficult to capture screenshot. And who doesn’t love to play dress up and vamp it up for pictures!
* The thing I hate the most in Second Life is the camera…. why, why, why, why can you not use the mouse to guide the camera?! WHY?!!!? I’ve tried to get some of my WoW buddies to play SL but they give up after 2 seconds because of the idiotic camera. Rawr. But I’m a bit more stalwart than they are so I kept plugging along… I still hate the camera but I do enjoy SL enough to make do.
* You probably have never seen me in Second Life.
* I like to shop from the roof instead of mingle. It’s a mixture of my inability to guide my toon around without crashing into people like an idiot and a bit of anti-socialness. Don’t take it personally if I slam into you or completely ignore you… I’m socially akward. :P
* I’ve never been to an SL club.
* I spend most of my SL time in my house… being anti-social.
I’ve become lazy so I snagged my questions that no one ever asked from my other blog… so here they are.. with a mix of slightly new and not new at all answers.
Why Second Life?
I’m certainly not playing Second Life for the reason a good deal of people are.. which is to say, I’m not looking for cyborz. I was introduced to the game on a dog forum I frequent. While I’ve yet to see any of them in the game, it was one poster’s initial description of the game that got me intrigued.. that and it was free. [Not for long I would soon find out]
So.. why Second Life?
I’m a girlie girl… I like to shop, I like to vamp around and I like cute stuff. Once I found that I could blow real money on virtual stuff, I was hooked. I’ve always been drawn to costume-ish, anime-ish clothing and hair but sadly they aren’t the most practical for day to day activities… Second Life let’s me wear all that crazy stuff without anyone batting an eye. One of my biggest beefs with WoW is the inability to customize. Granted my toons have no lack of all the evening wear that one can come by. But, not being able to make that dress a mini or change colors has always been a mild annoyance to me. Second Life gives the ability to customize absolutely everything.. almost to the point of overwhelming.
Your grasp on punctuation is tenuous at best; what is with all the ellipses?
I iz gud at grammarz….. bite my ellipses.
Why a blog?
Blogs were a huge help when I first wandered, scared and alone, into the world. I found out where to go to get some freebies so I didn’t look terrifying. I’ve since then used blogs as a jumping off point to find things in game that I was looking for. I’m writing this mostly for myself to keep track of all the goodies I’ve found and as a place to document some of my comings and goings and the fantastic fashions I’m sporting.
Will you keep up with this blog?
My blogs are epic fail. I’m boring and I tend to use them as a ranting platform or just provide zero content. If you are into that kind of thing, I’m the blog for you!
Steampunk

I was shopping around on OnRez.. one of my favorite past times… and I came across a slew of $1L items from a store called [OMFG] and OMFG indeed, they were awesome. I noticed they were blogged over on SL Free*Style yesterday and someone mentioned in a comment that they no longer seemed to be selling the items in world and sadly, it appears they don’t exist on OnRez anymore either. I am super sad because the stuff was freaking unbelievably cool. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw they were only $1L. I’m glad I snatched up what I did before they disappeared. I went ahead and linked their last known slurl so maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll sell their things again soon. Anyways, I built an outfit around the seraphim wings alone. I also modded up another skin with a kinda scarred up, bruised thing to match the steampunk/post apocalyptic theme. I tried bruising up the knees and hands but it was blurry so back to the drawing board with that. And crap, I forgot my piercings and eyelashes for the pictures…. well maybe they would have been excessive. Le boo.

Eyes

I change my eyes in Second Life the way I do my hair, clothes, skins, etc. That is to say, several times a day. I’m also a lemming. I will follow someone with something cool off a cliff any day. I’ve been lemming eyes from Glanz ever since I saw them on Sai Pennell’s blog. I debated, and I debated. $300L for a pair of eyes is pretty freakin’ steep imho. But I finally couldn’t resist the pull any longer and gave into my lemming urges. And well, I have no regrets. No srsly.. no regrets. They are really, really pretty. Best of all is that, even from far away, you can see the color of my eyes. I went with the green since they seemed to be the brightest color out of the ones available.

Glammy

I’ve been gross ill for a few days.. which translated to wearing the rattiest sweats I own. So since I don’t see myself leaving home for a few more days.. especially not dressed up… I decided to play dolly and dress up my avatar in something glammy and cutesy. I fiddled around with creating a shape from scratch and well.. it still needs major tweaking. I wanted a shape with slightly more pouty lips but I still wanted the huge anime eyes I’ve grown to love. Hips were by far the hardest thing to get right for me, hence the dress. And what a dress… I love this dress. Purple. Tweed. Metallic Gold Ribbon. Swoon. It’s probably a good thing for my wallet that none of these clothes are available irl. Well my cold medicine is making me disjointed, so I’ll wrap it up. I don’t think I’ll ever be accused of providing useful content here. :P
