I know what you’re thinking. How the hell and why am I making a blog post after I said I wouldn’t be around. Well, it’s kind of hard to stop anything cold turkey. Yes, this is me saying that being as wired to the internet and Second Life as I am is a type of addiction. Internet Addiction. I’m serious, it’s totally real. I am currently sitting in a Brew Ha Ha with my massive gaming laptop that takes up half of a table (my jackets and bags take up the other half) and checking what I normally check — everything.

I checked Flickr like I usually do and was overwhelmed with contact requests. It was odd. I had never had so many at once but I quickly saw why and I was pretty much blown away. Yep. Mind Blown. Total JKF.

I checked my upload of the above picture. I had done it on a tablet pc, one with a touchpad monitor. It’s magical. It was the first time and I didn’t think it was that fantastic but… it had over 30 favorites and then I read one of the comments. I was posted as the Flickr picture of the day on the LL SL community blog!

So, I just wanted to say Thank You to whomever decided that my picture was worthy of that! It’s really flattering!

I made this picture just to make myself happy. On a whim — and because of sales, I went and bought a few Dutch Touch skins. I have wanted to for a very long time but I am cheap and never did. Sadly, Dutch Touch is closing. This means, though, that skins are on sale. I didn’t check to see if clothing was, too. I will have to make a repeat visit to check on that. Speaking of sales, check out Plastik if you haven’t already because everything is on sale there as well. 50% just about, on everything — the new skin line I think is 40% off, though.

Anyways. This post is more or less to signal a mild break from Second Life. One I don’t want to do but will end up happening and so I just wanted to give a warning before I just disappear. Like I’ve stated quite a few times in my most recent posts on flickr and on this blog, my real life is spiraling. This isn’t a bad spiral at all, it’s just all changing so quickly. A much needed change, honestly. One I haven’t had since I lived in California almost three years ago. One I haven’t had since I kind of lost myself and my ability to associate and handle the real world. There’s a lot to that, a lot of past information that I won’t go in to but all that matters is I’m doing better.

I really wish I wouldn’t have to take a break from all of this. Believe it or not but my return to Gor this time around has been one of the best my involvement with Gor has been. It’s probably Heriolfr. I don’t get to RP there a lot and there has been a few hiccups but I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg there and I just know that it’s exactly what I’ve needed and wanted within my involvement in Gor — for now. There are other sims popping up. Gor has its ups and downs when it comes to good sims and communities. They form and shatter and new ones happen. Heriolfr has people I enjoy RPing with and people who enjoy RPing in general. I recommend it to everyone I can.

I’ll miss blogging and Gor and even Second Life while I’m gone. I swear it won’t be that long — hopefully just a month or even less. There’s so much I want to do in Second Life right now. I feel like I’ll accomplish more and be able to do more within it once I’m back though. Crazy how stuff works out like that, huh?

Stay classy, SL-Gor <3 ILY.

It’s honestly so like me to make my grand return to blogging only to… disappear for a month. I can say, though, that it wasn’t just me being a lazy bitch. There may be a few moments here or there where it was just being a lazy bitch but for the most part, I have just been tremendously busy in real life. I know, so terrible, right? Actually, right now it’s not too terrible at all. I can’t complain.

I really need to catch up. I have over fifteen outfits I have saved that I need to blog and no time to do so. I need to stop making new ones until I blog them but I change just about daily. It’s my routine. New day in Second Life, new outfit for the day. Being versatile in my attire is a part of my love of both Second Life and Role Playing within Gor. The Gorean guidelines help me have boundaries for my clothing as well as drives me in my searches for things useable and within all that, there is a feeling of artistic expression. I adore it.

Another art-based post. This will probably become rather frequent as I seem to do them almost regularly now that I am lurking on an amazing sim. Heriolfr is super active, well built and fantastic — though I could just be biased on that fantastic part. I really suggest people checking it out though, if Northern Gor is your thing. They try to stay as by the book as they can, without ruining everyone’s experience.

Now, onto the picture. It’s pretty sappy and sad. There are tears, yep. There is crying to be had in this picture. The focal point, though, are the yellow flowers in the hair. They’re Talenders, obviously. Talenders are rather sappy and romantic in themselves within Gor. Instead of me sitting here rambling, I’ll keep it short and end it off with a book quote.

The talender, fixed in her hair, is a slave girl’s wordless confession, which, commonly, she dares not speak, that she cares for her Master…

I am a slacker. Anyways, does anyone else get this bug where a modifiable object will just suddenly turn no-mod even though it still says you should have mod rights for it? I’ve had it happen a ton for me lately and it’s making life ever more increasingly difficult simply because there is a 90% chance I cannot wear what ever it was in its original size, state or placement. If anyone knows how to fix that, that doesn’t require trying to get the creator to issue me a new set — since it’s really hard when its been a few months since you bought the item and cannot retrieve the transaction ID, then please let me know! I really need mod back on these things, otherwise they become basically worthless to me! This should also note the extreme benefit to modifiable objects versus just resize scripts. Some of us just don’t fit in a +5% or +10%. If we’ve got the will to mod it, we should be able to.

Now, enough of that. This post is becoming a wall of text. This was what I was running around in yesterday. It’s more conservative and could potentially be seen as a free-woman outfit. Not a super rich and fancy one, mind you but I think it covers enough for some sort of peasant-like attire.

The guitar from Happy Mood was from some sort of gacha event, I can’t remember it’s name. So if it’s unavailable now, I apologize. It’s one of my favorites, though. Since it looks painfully crafted naturally. All my jewelry is from Kosh since I fucking raped their store. I raped it even before the 50% off sale but then I truely raped it once the sale happened — including their furniture section.

Scarf is from Miel during last weeks 50L Friday. Speaking of that, I need to check todays…
