Change of Scenery

I needed a change of scenery… I’d already been considering either building myself a new house (bad idea) or buying a new prefab (good idea) just to shake things up. Yeah, I’m boring, that shakes things up for me. Anyways, I saw this amazing prefab from Alice’s Garden over on Virtually Dressed so I pretty much insta tp’d over there to check them out. All of them were so awesome, I bemoaned my lack of land since just looking at most of them I knew I couldn’t fit them on my teeny plot. But luckily, the Garden Shed was just right. I have to say, I’m a fan of worn looking textures and the ones used on these prefabs are particularly awesome. The shed is no mod/no copy but for the price (L$ 199) and cuteness, I totally was willing to overlook that and now that I’ve got it set up, I just love it… and I got to finally use my CSR gifts from HPMD and MilcaHolic which just didn’t quite go in my last skybox. Yay!

Cannot Get Started

I just can’t get started on any of the myriad of projects I need to be working on… I blame the oppressive heat but I’m really making excuses for being lazy and slightly uninspired. I have a whole slew of stuff that I want to release but every time I log in to start getting the ad pictures together I flake and log out. I just don’t know. At any rate, the skin I’m wearing will probably be a gift to my group… at least that’s the plan should I find myself able to make an effort. Yes, I think I’ll keep blaming it on the weather. I really hate summer.

More WoW

Here are a few more screenshots from the Beta. And I have one thing to say… roll a Death Knight. Srsly, roll a Death Knight. If nothing else, roll one just to do the start quests, they are so amazing. I’m not much into the RP thing but those quests really suck you into the world, it’s unbelievable. View the pics larger, especially the second one.

5 things meme and I <3 hair

Bah, still having connection issues. Ah well, gives me an excuse to do a meme!

I snagged this one from CeN! :D

Five things you didn’t know about me in SL & RL

SL
1. My friends list is very, very small.
2. I spend a good majority of my time in SL out of the game… sometimes I just log in so I can listen to the music stream I set on my land. I know I can listen to it on my computer but for some reason it’s more fun to listen to it through SL. I’m pretty much perpetually afk.
3. I have a serious hair addiction.
4. I haven’t tried to cultivate a look or a persona in SL, I pretty much just wear/look like whatever I felt like that day.
5. I am as shy in SL as I am in RL.

RL
1. My hair is currently dark pink.
2. I love vintage clothes and hats but am freaked out by vintage shoes.
3. I’m a card carrying member of a fan club.
4. I have two small and very spoiled dogs.
5. I used to be a musician.

And here’s a random picture because this hair from Gritty Kitty is my new most favorite hair ever! I think I might have a fan girl crush on Noam now. XD

LoTD 8-1

I have another blog… it’s RL related and I usually do a band of the day that I’m into. So I decided to do a look of the day here for a brief change of pace… though, come to think of it, aren’t most of my blog posts really LoTDs? :P Btw, Truth is having a super awesome sale. I bought lots of hair. See mah new hair in the picture?

And just in case you were wondering, my band of the day is Wintersleep. :D

RL Sneak Peek

ZOMG, the concert was mind blowing. Obviously I’m a huge fan girl of Wolf Parade but it was just amazing. I’m still processing it all…. I was right up by the stage so it was truly an experience. I’m still mostly on vacation but I just wanted to share a pic I took at the concert of Spencer Krug during one of my favorite songs of the evening, “Animal in Your Care.” If you are interested in seeing the rest of the pics, I made a separate Flickr page special just for them. :D

No One Saves The Day

Staying away from Second Life has been far harder than I had anticipated… I really can’t shirk some IMs and things, which is proving to be costly because every time I log in I decide I need new hair from Deviant Kitties. >.<  I really don’t have much to say today… it was a pretty quiet day all together.  Once again, I took a song literally and then went off on a wild tangent.  It’s my new favorite thing to do.

“He sent you to the East and he
Kept me West
I’ve got a compass and
You’ve got a compass
To see with”
