Barely Lucid

I’m still sick… though I’m feeling just the slightest bit better.. but I am hopped up on meds so that may be clouding my judgment tricking me into thinking I feel better than I actually am.. which is fine by me! I hadn’t planned to log into SL today but I ended up having to take care of a few botched transactions so since I was already on I was lured to the 50% off sale at ::69:: The sale is only on today so get there while it’s still going on.. and be sure to check out the Succubus Pumps which are, by far, my pick for my favorite heels in SL. Even though I have almost all the shoes from ::69::, I couldn’t resist buying a cute pair of boots and a sweet pair of goggles before calling it a day.

BBBC Day 4

Day 4 – Where do you go to shop when you just need some retail therapy? Do you suffer from buyers remorse later? What is the most expensive thing in your inventory?

Deviant Kitties is my retail therapy of choice. I love every single style I have from DK and they are just so much fun to wear. Back when I was a noob (as opposed to today where I’m a highly functioning noob) I used to sit up in a skybox trying on DK demos, fantasizing about buying lindens and going on a shopping spree. I finally couldn’t take the temptation anymore and hair from DK was one of my first purchases and still where I go to drop lindens to make myself feel better. ^^

I don’t think I’ve ever had buyer’s remorse on any of my item purchases. But I’ve certainly had a touch of buyer’s remorse on some of my land purchases in the past. >.<

The most expensive things in my inventory are my Redemption Pistols from C-Tech but they were worth every penny.

BBBC Day 2 & 3

Yup, I’m full blown sick. My head feels like it’s going to explode into gooey chunks.

Since I didn’t answer the BBBC question from yesterday I’ll do both today. :)

Day 2: Do you have dreams about SL? If so, do you dream of SL as it is, or does it become more “real world?”

I only tend to dream about things when something is bothering me… so the only SL related dreams I’ve had have been more like nightmares. And SL definitely becomes more “real world” for me just because typically the issues I’ll think about and stress about would be things that would also be ones that would stress me out in RL… except perhaps lag. :P

Day 3: If there was one thing on the grid that you could snap your fingers and it would be gone forever, what would it be and why? It has to be something other than lag. ;)

The camera. OMG, I hate the camera in SL with a passion. I can’t even describe how much I hate the camera… but I’ll try. :P Even though it’s been several months that I’ve been in SL, I still HATE, HATE, HATE the camera. HATE. Coming from a game like WoW where the camera is very intuitive and very easy to use, the camera in SL is clunky and obnoxious. And don’t get me started on zooming! Argh!!! Also, I tend to get a little touch of motion sickness after exploring for too long in SL. Most of my WoW friends spend about 20 minutes complaining about the camera every time they log in. >.< The only thing I do like about it is being able cam to something from a long distance away. Other than that, HATE.

BBBC Day 1

Ok, I’m an admitted secret admirer/stalker/gawker of many SL bloggers. I’m wowed by their creativity, taste, writing skills and total kyootness. I don’t know how you all do it! As soon as I set out to write my blog I almost always hit a writer’s block and end up going, OMG, I lurve this. But anyways, I’m starting to hit that wall so I better get to the point before I keep blathering. One of my favorite bloggers to secretly admire is Alicia Chenaux. Her blogs are really fun to read and always interesting. So when she issued the challenge to bloggers to update daily, well, I thought I’d give it a shot… sure, only a handful of people know my blog exists, but oh well, I’m gonna do it anyways. ^^

So I’ll start with the question of the day which was:
Why did you decide to start blogging about your Second Life?”

I started my original blog within just a short time of entering Second Life. Once I figured out how to make myself not look like a Orientation Island reject (which I actually was as I got dumped in some random sim, very far away from Orientation Island, left to fend for myself), I really wanted to have a spot to show screenshots of the game and share some of my thoughts, finds, and random thoughts. I was really inspired by all the blogs I came across when I googled random SL related things and thought a blog would be the perfect spot to catalog my journey. I didn’t expect to keep up with it as my history with blogs is pretty bad, I’ve left many a blog abandoned to the wayside. But I’d say this one is here to stay. :D But my big thing with this blog is really to show pics of cool stuff… so here’s a random pic I dug out of my screenshots folder to end the post with. :D

6-6 Blog

Survey Time!

I’m a sucker for surveys so here are my answers to the SCD one.

1. When you hear about a new release, which are you most likely to run out and buy: hair, shoes, or clothes?
-Clothes for sure. I can’t resist new stuff, it’s so shiny.

2. Skin choice: pale, tan, coloured (like green), or dark? Blond, brown, red, or black hair?
-Super pale goth skin. My hair is never the same color for very long but I own more hair in white than any other color.

3. Which event do you most likely put on your calendar: fashion show, live concert, store sale, sim opening, club contest, or a class?
-Store sale… I’m a shy recluse, you’ll never see me where there is a crowd unless it is super freakin’ awesome.

4. What’s your ideal SL™ job?
-One where I’m showered with money for doing nothing. :P

5. Sexy clothing preference: silks, lingerie, or revealing clothing(mini skirts, super tight dresses, etc)?
-Retro pinup style lingerie

6. Facial hair on male avies (or yourself, if you are male): yea or nay?
-Nay, 5 o’clock shadow is the limit for me.

7. Land home or skybox?
-Skybox unfortunately, the land area near me is icky to look at.

8. Decorating your walls: SL™ photos, objects, RL photos, or RL art?
-RL art.

9. Do you prefer to own land or rent?
-Own. Even though I hate where I live.

10. Small boutiques or large stores?
-Small boutiques or I will get lost and go home.

11. Photo-realistic skins and clothing or hand-drawn?
-Hand-drawn. Photo-realistic creeps me out just a little bit. Though I do like photo-real jeans.

12. For your one-on-one conversations, do you prefer voice or typed chat?
-Typed chat, I’ve never actually tried voice, nor do I want to. O.o

13. Prim objects or sculpties?
-Prims for anything requiring movement, sculpties for everything else. I loves me some sculpty shoes.

14. Bling, effect sounds, and particle effects: on or off?
-Do Not Want!

15. (If you use one) What photostudio do you like best?
-I’m cheap, I just use a little hollowed out box

16. Face light: necessary or blinding?
-Never left home without it until I started using the Caliah Lyon windlight settings, now I almost never use one. Which is why I probably look terrible to everyone else. >.<

17. Do you pick up all the freebies you find or only pick the ones from designers you know?
-I used to horde every single freebie ever but now I’m a tad bit more selective mostly out of laziness.

18. Pre-fab buildings: do you own one? Do you like them?
-Own one and I like it since I’ve retextured it.

19. Would you rather be a Furry or Tiny?
-Tiny, they are cute.

20. Graphic settings: Short draw distance or long? Release Candidate or standard viewer? Avatar imposters (yes/no)?
-Short draw, I don’t like to know I’m surrounded by dozens of wooden prims when I’m at home. RC & yes.

21. Sim design: tropical island, residential neighborhood, urban streets, or themed fantasy (or another type I didn’t think of)?
-Themed fantasy

22. When not in a club or concert, do you stream music or turn it off?
-I’ll test out the stream if I’m not already listening to something just to see what other people are into. I’m a music junkie.

23. Flickr: Woot? Ick? (add me as a contact so I can see your stuff!)
-Zomg, woot. I <3 Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fricka/

24. What’s your favorite place to explore or hang out (that isn’t a shopping area)?
-Lash’s La Reve.

25. Animation Overriders: Do you prefer to make your own or buy a set? And where’s the best place to go for them? (I’m actually shopping around for another, so this is a selfish question
-I use a combo of premade sets from Cova AO & ANA_Mations.

Belts

I need belts.  Ornate, super buckled, hot & sexy looking belts.  I’m not too picky on color, but neutrals make me happy because they go with everything.  I like a chunkier belt as opposed to a skinny belt.  I am in the market for women’s belts and men’s belts!  Drop me a note, comment here or send me smoke signals with your favorite belt places!  **cries at the lack of belty goodness in her inventory**  Help me!! XD

Under the weather

I came down with something yucky between 3am and 7am this morning and I am horribly ill. I’ll be gone until I get to feeling better. IM or drop me a notecard and I’ll do my best to check in periodically but my apologies if I don’t respond right away.  Imma go take a nap now.
