MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

I hope everyone has a great day.

My computer is still on the broke, I'm on a different computer now.

Don't know if laptop is coming on Christmas yet. Sigh....

Grrrr..........

Mother F-ing computer died again

Sooo dramatic amie is leaving again...

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone-hopefully I'll be back around soon :)

Floating Toby

Ahh a picture of Toby floating in mid air-this is what I saw when I tp'd back into my house today. I don't understand him at all.

Is it wrong to say that I think I look adorable. The store Humming has become my favorite store since it's so dang cheap. My skirt and cute tights you can't see are from there. The tights are free the skirt is $1-everything in the store is 30L!!! I stopped myself from buying everything in the store. The sweater is from Stitch by Stitch's advent hunt which cost a $1 and the gloves and scarf from Reek from the Chimney hunt (you have 3 days left DO IT!!!). So my whole outfit cost $2L (not counting hair and such).

My house is full of somewhat primmy Christmas items that will come down soon. LOL I'll have to put more furniture in. I have been thinking about buying land that may have more prims and stumbled across a nice piece of land with quite a bit of prims for fairly cheap but I don't know the whole buying land thing seems to complicated for me to have to worry about plus I love where I live now. I just found too many prefab homes that are adorable :) Plus I know I would become the dog lady and buy more animals.

Oh and hey for everyone who has Adobe reader I got this email yesterday saying Adobe is hurting computers (yeah there's a reason but ok technology mumbo jumbo blah blah) so you may want to do these steps

1. Open Adobe Reader
2. Go to Edit-Preferences
3. On the side click JavaScript
4. Uncheck the box next to Enable Javascript
5. Click ok
6. Exit

I don't know if it's true but I got a freaked out message from my virus protector today saying something to the effect that this bad thing was attacking me and it had adobe in the name soooooooooo.... my computer hasn't died yet.

I feel like I was really dramatic and all I'm leaving SL for good crap... but I really did think my computer was going kaput. I'm not one of those people that is all like I'm not coming back ever again and then show up 3 days later going I'm back.

Had to show a picture of my Magika hair. Love it so much-it has lights-too cute. It covers my right eye though so I had to lose the glasses. I really like Magika and it has lots of cute hair but alot covers the eyes that I don't really care for.

Here's the link for Magika. The hair is 50L for the time.

My eyes are from Hoot-They were 50L too the other day don't know if they still are. They were called like Holiday dazzle or something neat like that-there's flecks of colors in the eyes.

And oh my god I want a sheep for my house-screw the damn chickens!!! This was found somewhere on my chimney hunt hunting. Took forever for it rez oh and look there's the book you're looking for. It was so cute and not that primmy will have to look for the owner so I can buy it.

No computer crash yet-haven't decided if I want to start the picture thing again.

Missing inventory=Heart attack for Amie

So I log into SL yesterday and look at my inventory count-16000 what??? No no no I have over 17000 I know it so I browse my folders and a BUNCH are empty. Not only are folders empty but it seems purposely the ones that I wear/use often. Basically all my ivalde clothes are gone, my lovely Free Speerit skins are missing. I'm having a heart attack b/c not only does my computer suck but I'm missing inventory. So I of course google missing second life inventory and it doesn't really say anything but check your lost and found-umm thanks but it did say clear you cache. Now I try to do that when I remember but I figure what the hell I'll do it. Well what do you know it worked it took like 10 minutes for everything to load but it was all there. Heart attack avoided.

Here's the link for the information on what to do which is filled with a bunch of Amie doesn't understand that. Just in case (hopefully you don't) you ever need it.

Maybe the big man is telling me to stay away from SL...

In other news since I got a nice cheat notecard for the Down the Chimney hunt I have been quickly flying through that hunt-some really cute items that I have opened and seen in blogs.

Computer update

Well I don't know what the heck is going on with it. It kept dying on me-freezing then going to a blue screen and yelling at me by making a clicking noise. Well it hasn't done it since Tuesday and then I restarted and did microsoft updates and when it came back on it said malicious items were removed. It hasn't died since then. So don't know. I still haven't really been back on SL b/c that's when it seems like it makes the most noise in my modem-Sigh.

I hate technology.

Goodbye for a while

So my computer hates me and will start making a ticking noise and go to a blue screen. Now my computer died in a virus almost a year ago so I'm freaked by blue screens. So needless to say my SL addiction is taking a slight vacation :(

Goodbye POE hunt.

So anyway I won't be posting pictures and stuff until I found out what is wrong or until I get my laptop in a few weeks. I'm supposed to be getting a Christmas/Graduation present.

Oh and by the way-My speech went awesome :)

Love you all and thanks to you that read my blog I'll post more when I know what's going on.

#22-Santa Toby-Early for Saturday

Early yes but I won't be online tomorrow probably.

Well maybe just to get the Ivalde gift :)

tomorrow is it-I hate doing speeches but for some reason not to freaked out. I'm more excited than anything-I'll have my Master's soon. First in the family :) I'll be nervous tomorrow though. I do distance learning so I have to travel 3 hours to do my 10 minutes speech so yeah I will be in the car more than anything.

Ok off to make my speech sound intelligent :-P

#21-Crunch Time

In 24 hours my butt will be getting up to travel to do my speech for my internship-all I need to do is pass that and then I will graduate!!! So it's a big deal.

So it's simple picture today but it shows off my new shape that I've been walking around with for about 2 weeks. Since I don't think I will be online on Saturday you will get an early picture tomorrow probably of Toby because he has an adorable Santa outfit on :)

The scarf and shirt is from Tuli-35L-love it :)

To bed now and tomorrow work on speech more :)

#20-Snow Angels

Making snow angels

This picture makes me laugh. This is in front of my house, but you can't really tell LOL. I got this from Mr. Scrooge's Holiday Shop where there is a bunch of holiday/wintry stuff for FREE.

Ugh back to work. will all be done in less than 48 hours.

:)

Yay for U2 and Christmas music.

Ugh working on speech

I procrastinate-ALOT

#19-Frosty

Quick one today

I'm trying to get my presentation done for Saturday so I hopped on earlier and got advent gifts and put this outside-too cute it's animated.

All right back to work almost done :)

#18-Yay for December and my new home :)

Finally found a cute tree :)

Oof so bad at pictures lol. My adorable snowman boots are from SSUS and was last years POE gift. My jeans are the advent gift from Ivalde-ahhh love Ivalde so so much. If you are not in the group there will be a price added soon so join to get a gift every day in December. The cute tree I'm holding is Concrete Flowers advent calendar giveaway for today. And yeah I'm in the same sweater from like 4 days ago but I have changed since then lol.

Oh and I found this house on the POE hunt today, which I forgot the name of the store but the lm is here. There was other cute houses there too. You click the left wing to open the house. So cute!

Happy Dance!!

So being bored and doing nothing tonight I decided hey POE starts tomorrow so let me just check to see if any gifts are out. Well there is and I got a few gifts already. There are I think 400 stores again-maybe so it's a LONG but so worth it. :)

Go here and choose a store maybe the gift will be out already.

And believe me if Amie had the nice pose balls to do a happy dance she would!

#17-Dancing in the moonlight

:)

"dancing in the moonlight
everybodys feeling warm and bright
its such a fine and natural sight
everybodys dancing in the moonlight"

I went to Marinoco today to get this dress for $1 if you are a group member-but do it because if it's still the same if you join you get a free dress of your choice. Too cute, and then I started wandering around the sim. I feel in love with this place last year during the POE hunt (Amie-official promoter for the hunt). There are so many places to sit. Above the store there are a bunch of different themes islands to explore too.

And sorry for my emo post yesterday LOL. I need more sleep.

#16 In the rain

“Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain”

I love the rain in SL and RL. One of my best kisses in RL was in the rain-it's so romantic.

Ugh need to mellow a bit stressed out about stuff-it's been a long confusing week-one of those weeks where I feel like I should delete my account and move on to RL stuff.

The picture was taken on the Alchemy Immortalis sim. Thanks Banana :)

Oh and my sweater-Yeah finally got it from S@bbia lucky board-was it an A, no a questions mark LOL.

#15-Meet my snow friends

Aren't they adorable :)

I took this picture a few days ago but because I'm sick I didn't really go in world today. I forgot to say omg yesterday I spent so much money to many sales-got some really cute things though.

#14-Lounging around

Simple picture today

I'm sick in RL and got up this morning to go shopping with the mobs. People are freaking crazy. LOL but I went to huge high school and to get from class to class you had to shove the people who were slow or just standing in the middle of the hall doing nothing.

Got the gift I went out for :)

#13-Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Hope everyone is having a great day

"Those early Pilgrims were thankful for what had happened to them, and we should be thankful, too. We should just be thankful for being together. I think that's what they mean by 'Thanksgiving'. . ." - A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

This is the Mayflower in SL. No I don't have a slurl I had it and then I copied something else and I forgot. My pose is a bit Titantic King of the World thing but I'm too short and it didn't look good lol. I'm feeling a bit sick in RL my body is achy and my throat hurts :(

I'm supposed to be getting up and going shopping tomorrow-we'll see. Speaking of shopping-oh I'm going to have 0L left after the 50L Friday huge sale. I don't even want to know how many stores are participating. I saw the list and it is a bunch!

Again hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and did fill up too much on turkey and pie :)

#12 Blending of holidays

I'm slowly putting up Christmas stuff around the house. I'm putting it up as I purchase it. Nothing too exciting really everything that's cute is really primmy.

Nothing else really-I'm off for two weeks :)

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

#11-Wishing and hoping

This picture sums up what I have been doing the past few days.

I love Lucky Boards, I do I love a good freebie-however lucky boards HATE the letter A-hate, loathe, spit at it-say what you want. Every once in a while I will walk into a store with an A on the board and it is usually an item I will never wear. Like on the one of the hunts A's kept coming up in a neko store that had a bunch of people waiting. I don't think I kept the items (although maybe they are somewhere in my inventory).

I should probably just buy the sweater here at S@bbia because it is actually on sale because sometimes items are only in the boards. Sigh... Oh and my cute coat is from this store too-Love the button detail on the front.

And omg have I talked about the POE hunt. There's a few flickr pictures up and from what I have seen ah great prizes. Look at this:

And this...

And my favorite so far...

I can't wait for this hunt :)-I don't know why I have a fondness for this hunt I think it all started in SL for during this hunt. I got a nice skin some great clothes and looked unnoob like.

Take care everyone :)

#10-Working

So I got out of my house...to work LOL

“One must work and dare if one really wants to live.”~Vincent Van Gogh

(one must work in SL if they really want to not have to pay RL money :P)

So yeah I work at Franks if you don't know. I've been there since last March, it's all right for the most part. Some people can be ruder than my job in RL.

Here's a better look at my shape-Holy Boobage Batman-hmm this may change. It's the dang Belleza skin (love it, and I joined before the fee-ah another POE find from last year). This is a horrible pose also-*pumps fist*-I am the best photo taker EVER!

Internship is done-really sad about that.

#9-Happy Turkey Day!!

A bit early but oh well

An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. ~Irv Kupcinet

As you can tell I haven't gone out much in SL since the last like 5 pictures are at my house. I've been so busy hardly logging on-2 more weeks.

Ugh the holiday season means lots of food-which means watching weight is hard to do. I baked cookies Friday and today already. It's better when I bake though because I tend not to eat them. Tomorrow is last day of my internship *tear. At least I learned that I still want to do this whole library thing.

Can't really tell in the picture but I have a new shape. I got it for a few lindens at McSkin while stalking the lucky board a few weeks back (never got the blasted sweater though, I swear boards hate A's). I modified it a bit and it was cute. But a little while after wearing it my eye looked wonky-what the hell. It's like the white part of the eye isn't there in my left eye. I snapped this picture like an hour before it happened and it looked fine.

Please share your reasons why this would have happened. I tried relogging no go, and I put on my old shape and my eyes are fine. Oh well.

Hello winter...

Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours." ~Robert Byrne

LOL winter by where I live is totally this quote.

I'm slowly starting to decorate for Christmas. If anyone has any christmas decorating stores they love pass them on to me. I have my few seasonal stores but looking for something new :)

#7

Goodbye Fall...

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
- Albert Camus

I'm going to be so busy in the next few weeks-with Thanksgiving coming next week, my last day of my internship is Monday, I work the next two days and then I'm on vacation for almost 2 weeks. But I will have to work on my final speech but then I'm done.

POE is coming up soon, omg so excited, don't know why maybe because this all started my SL hunts last year. Flickr pictures from items on the hunt are starting to come up and all the store listings are there-unfortunately not on the list are two stores that I found last year and still love. Bingo (although I don't think this is store anymore really-is attached to Elate though) and Shirohato (cutest clothes ever!!!). I'm happy Ivalde is still in it-omg last year they gave a present every day until christmas. Ahh memories that's when I was cheap-o no money, zyngo playing noob.

I plan on (yeah right) cleaning some inventory before the 8 billion hunts next month.

#6

Lazy day

Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. ~Author Unknown

This is a bit late because I don't feel good, my head has been pounding all night. My Tobes is a bit dirty :)

#5

I need a facelight... lol-I had a free one somewhere but it got deleted in a massive inventory overhaul and the one I have now that I want to say I got free from Malt I can't figure out how to work-ho hum sometimes still SL stupid.

Only two more days left in my internship-no job on the horizon :(

Stealing your look Banana-bought the sweater from So Many Styles too :)

#3

In a Winter mood...

Taken at Winterstock

Picture 2

Just me and Toby, and yeah in the same clothes and slightly getting eaten by the ground

Picture of the day-edit for banana :)

My pictures seem to be melancholy lately, hmm a bit tired in rl maybe it's reflecting in sl. The weather has been so crappy but nice when I'm at work all day.

Picture taken at Garden of Dreams-

Happy Friday!

So my little take a stand lasted a week lol, and I shopped on 50L Friday sue me.

No I've just been super busy in RL. I graduate in a few weeks and have to plan an (EEK!!) speech and I'm nearly through with my internship (tear) and have began applying for jobs. Once I get a full time job I think SL may go away. I don't know though.

I will first spend all my money on the day after thanksgiving Fifty Linden Fridays. Like 50 stores will have a 50L sale, omg take my money.

So just been basically logging in to work in SL. I did on a boring night find a penguin avie and bounced around with that a bit.

I look so sad, no?

And finally here's a picture of me today with cute clothes, the glasses are from deco-love them.

The sweater is 1L from somapop, it is so cute, sorry no lm in SL listening to Skye Galaxy (search for him he is fantastic!!) and can't figure out how to make it into a link LOL.

I would do the picture a dayfor a year thing because I think it's cool, but do I think I'll be around in a year-probably not-too much going to happen in RL by next year.

Will be more exciting once I graduate in holy shit 3 weeks :))!!!!!!

Take a Stand!

Now I know my little tiny blog gets little traffic but to support the cause I will not blog for a few days :) I do sometimes talk about what I have and such.

On the 5th of November, the Artist’s Voice will be encouraging its members and the community to STOP. Stop buying L$, stop selling L$, stop uploading, stop creating, stop shopping, stop selling, stop blogging! Just STOP!

Read more here.

Hmm 50L Friday is in the middle of of this :(. Thank god I finally got into Truth this morning LOL, I wouldn't have went and bought anything anyway.

See you all next week-Love ya my five readers *kisses*

Blah

I think that pretty much sums me up lately-Haven't really done much lately except go online tool around a bit and then log off. In RL I'm starting to look for full time jobs since I will be done with my internship at the end of the month. I

I started the Changing of the Seasons hunt b/c it's short and it gives store names so if I can't find the item in a few minutes I tp to the next store. I saw pictures with some cute outfits so I thought it was worth it. Otherwise you could the 18 million other hunts going on right now. I am pretty good on going through hunt items I force myself too, although on Sunday I went through the two Valentine hunts I never opened and just deleted items if I didn't know the store of if the name of the item didn't appeal to me. I figured hey I never opened so I will never know. I really think I should start throwing stuff away after I wear it once.

I took down my few Halloween items and tried to find some Thanksgiving ones at the few places I go to but they are already decorated for Christmas0-What?! . Now I know I want to decorate my house out (sorry Tobes you may be sleeping in my inventory for a bit) but it's a bit early. I haven't even thought about Christmas in RL-sigh. I did stumble upon a turkey for like 10L in someone's yard I swear LOL and left up some pumpkins.

So I got a mean message from Flickr last week saying that I can only hold 200 pictures and I'm at 170 now. I deleted a few (omg I'm putting you to sleep right) Because of that no pictures today LOL. I guess I'm going to have to just take pictures from my computer for blog posts.

Happy Halloween!!

I don't know if I will post again so here's a nice Halloween picture for you me a year ago in SL.

Notice the freebie skin, the horribly placed flower (which is from Eolande still where it) and cool Calla hair I got at Free Dove. Don't ask me where I was.

Have a great, safe and Happy Halloween.

OMG-Run to Ivalde

So in my many notices today I saw one from Ivalde that said 63 items are 100L. So I was like ok I'll go find like one thing. Well apparently my brain was broken because holy crap I could spend 6300 and actually more because if the dress has more than one color they are all 100L.

I have only bought one thing so far-a black gown from L'Abel (which was originally 500l I was looking longingly at the gowns this morning when I bought the Beat the Monday blues item)

I love love LOVE Ivalde and have since the beginning of Amie's SL when I stumbled across the store and bought a cute outfit for a linden. I found the store again during the POE hunt and that was also when the store was giving away presents all throughout December-cute little dresses that Amie wore to death and still does (why do I have all these new clothes and end up wearing the same things over and over again)

So the sale runs until Nov. 1 so get there NOW!!!

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ivalde/198/83/25

There is also a sale at Ingenue, the Sunny sim is doing a trick or treat hunt, and Son!a has 5 gorgeous gowns for 300L. So going to be broke after this week.

What I love about SL

So over the weekend I was talking to a friend about SL. I explained to her what it was and what goes on to which I got a blank stare and a "why do you play it" comment. I really don't know why I keep coming back. I joined SL for a library school class and thought it was going to be a stupid assignment. A year later and I'm still here. I don't know it's a nice escape, I get to dress in cute clothes that I wish I had in RL and I have met some really great people that live all over the world. I get to listen to some awesome musicians and just dance around and look silly.

So I decided to do a little thing every week (which probably won't happen) on things I love about SL-why because well why not.

So my first thing is.....

My glasses :)

Sort of lame but yeah you know. Glasses were my first purchase in SL. I don't know why I needed glasses maybe because I wear them in RL and tried to look a bit like myself but a year later and I still have them. I have always worn them I will take them off for a little while but I always put them right back on because I think little Amie looks weird without them (yeah and this is probably when people are telling me-maybe you have been in SL for too long..) I've had three pairs of glasses in SL that I have worn. My first pair which I think I edited to heck and were permanently crooked on my face were from Americamura, which I could find a lm for b/c the one I had was not the store-they were 100L when I searched for cheap glasses back then . My second pair were from Arai which I couldn't find a lm for either it just brought me to a street with stores around it sigh , and my third and the ones I wear now are from Nala.

Not many people wear glasses in SL-but then not many do in RL either. I don't know if it's just because I wear them in both worlds, but I'm always more fond of men who wear glasses LOL.

My love posts will get better-I've just had people this week tell me I should get rid of my glasses and then maybe I would find a man in SL (LOL I didn't know them very well and no I'm not looking for a man in SL).

Run and go get this NOW :)

Have you found out about 50 Linden Fridays!!!! I finally joined the group last week and after a few extremely LAGGY places today I was ready to give up but for but I'm glad I didn't. Run and go get this jewelry set from Miel before midnight Friday night.

I love it so much it's so pretty, and well if you know me you know I LOVE flowers so it was perfect. The picture is sort of pixulated. I was trying to be all artsy (Thanks my new friend Bob LOL trying to compete against your pictures from Thursday night) but they just came out dark. I played around with Photoshop a bit and got it lighter. And oh my god I think I have man hands-oh well LOL.

I also accidentally deleted at least one post b/c I was getting rid of drafts oh well sigh. I don't know which one I did though because yeah.

(If this post seems unusually peppy I think its from all the candy I have been eating all day-damn Halloween).

Oh and I still never found the blasted JJ Janes pumpkin oh well. The place is too laggy.

Well have a great weekend everyone :)

New House and Happy Fall!

Hmm I had written a post about how smells in RL remind me of what I was doing in SL but I will not bore you with that, instead here's pictures of my new house.

It's small and cute, my pictures suck b/c sl hates rezzing for me lately ho hum. I should be a good blogger and post slurls of my lovely halloween stuff but most of it is from Holiday Bliss and the other's are from some store that I can never remember the name of and only remember to find it when I run across it in a hunt. I'll find it and edit my post.

Also I was picking and choosing places to do in the Pumpkin Prints hunt (thanks to Ms. Susa, she posts pictures of hunt prizes). I was trying to find Number 14 because I had a nice deck in the back but I can't find it for the life of me, so if anyone is doing it send me a hint or figure out this one that is on the official hunt blog.

14. JJ Lanes

Hint: THEY WILL BE SMILING AT YOU

Send me an IM if you have found the item.

Hmm Guess I should post

So I haven't posted in like 2 weeks. There is no reason why I've been lazy and trying to get my internship stuff typed out and cross stitching ornaments for Christmas (I once had an boyfriend tell me-you cross stitch...but that's for old people..sigh It's fun)

So my first rez day was October 4. I wore the title flipper thing that Banana's Hubby gave me (I don't know you real name or it's slipped my mind sorry) and since I was not online most of the day wore it to work and then I was tired and logged off. Uneventful really. I took a few pics of me on that day and found a super old one that some guy took of me in the beginning but I never got around to post anything. I may do a belated celebration.

So what have a been up to... Well I'm working the Frank Elite club now a couple days a week. Free membership until the end of the week IM me for group tag-the place is gorgeous check it out. I moved to a new smaller house because I work with the owner and it was cheap LOL. But mostly because the sim is beautiful. I'll post pictures when I'm not too lazy to do so. Since I moved I need more furniture because my old furniture is just no good right? :) I just bought a few things. I'm still decorating around for Halloween but I don't want to decorate too much and be the tacky house on the sim (wait for Christmas though). All right RL work is calling me so I gotta run.

Here's an old picture of Toby because I like posting pictures. It's super old because that's my first house I rented, but it's on my flickr and probably on the blog somewhere I'm just too lazy to go through my pictures on my computer.

Or and since two people google Oracul AO and found me I have to say I love the AO-go buy one it's one of the cheapest AO's I have seen. At least check it out. I hope that is the store name I honestly don't know.

Question for the the 4 people who read my blog

Where can I get a free script thingy for above my head to say hey it's my rez day. I want to celebrate and be annoying and tell everyone.

Also hey while we're at it, where can I get a cheap girly AO. I've made a few of my own with cheapie poses but I still look robotey. And not a ao where it looks like I'm giving myself a breast exam-seriously some girl had this and I would have taken pictures but it was at work so probably wouldn't look good. I guess it is October and we should be celebrating breasts but come on.

All the made up words Yeah.

Being crafty in RL and not online too much. I seem to only go online to change clothes maybe I didn't play enough with dolls when I was little :)

U2 Concert

I LOVE U2, love them. They are my favorite band. Right after I joined SL I joined the group U2 in SL. It's one of the only groups that I joined right away that I'm still in now. Every so often the group will hold concerts with the band. The avs look like that band and the concert stage is put together how the stage is in RL. I saw U2 in rl 2 weeks ago in Chicago. I had floor tickets so I was close to the band (heaven!!).

Anyway the U2 concert yesterday in SL. Unfortunately I was busy and only went for about 30 minutes but I got a few good pictures.

This is exactly what the stage looked in RL.

Gotta love Adam and the Edge

Bono!!!

More Edge and Adam love

The pictures changed throughout the concert unfortunately my laggy butt didn't catch much.

I have a few more pictures on my flickr. Feel free to look at them

And here a RL one for you to enjoy :)

I have a tons more I can post but that's RL and this is SL :-D

Ha ha For you Banana

Ok this will be short because I'm tired and it's stormy but I just checked my google Analytics and one of my search terms was..............

"Banana Vella said"

ha ha your opinion counts :-D

Things I found out about SL by Amie Adamski

So yeah this is probably obvious to EVERYONE but I found out two things today about the mini-map. /me Happy Fists

So apparently the little green dots tell you exactly where someone is meaning is they are a complete circle they are on the same level as you. If they are an up arrow they are above you and a down arrow they are below you (did I explain it nicely-probably not). I never knew this I just assumed the arrow pointed the way they were moving-Slaps Head.

And I also found out if you hover your mouse over the green dots you can see who that green dot is. When did this happen? So cool when you are trying to find someone, like when I'm working and have to find crazy noob who comes running in in non-formal wear.

Who says you can't learn things in SL?

Morphing Amie

Hey Banana-Stole your idea :)

MyHeritage: Family tree - Genealogy - Celeb

MyHeritage: Celebrity Morph - Last names - Geneology search

Ok to both I guess. I did it with a RL picture also, I got Kirsten Dunst which is funny since I'm not blond-at all LOL. When I was younger I was told I looked like Christina Ricci-yeah that was no where in sight.

Decorating for fall

So a few months ago when I became a SL adult and started renting a house rather than changing in public one of the things I was most excited for was decorating for the holidays. I joined SL before Halloween last year (rez day Oct 4 coming up), so the holidays were in face. When I did the POE hunt, the first hunt of MANY, I got to see all the Christmas decorations people had up and for sale. I love to decorate with snowman in RL and they are so many around SL also.

Anyway, I started putting up fall decorations in the middle of August. I have a scarecrow and fall trees and leaves all around.

Scarecrow, wreath and tree from Holiday Bliss

Leaves on Ground from SHD

Hair from Tiny Bird-50L Fridays!! Yeah

And other stuff I'm too lazy to write about.

I also took a picture of the tree behind me because it's so pretty. I saw it while shopping at Intrigue Co (also where I got my Grover sweatshirt from). It's from Mudshake. If you have never been there-go it's so so pretty. I couldn't find it there so I bugged the owner Isolahara Catteneo to tell me where it was. She got back to me within 12 hours I swear but still apologized for the late response because she was on a business trip in RL. Too nice. The tree cost only 95L which is awesome. It poofs off little leaves also.

I have other trees that I didn't put there that was there when I rented that I wish I could temporary get rid of b/c the tree is sort of hidden oh well.

Other than that I haven't been online much lately because I don't know I'm just getting bored of SL. My RL has been so freaking busy lately and I've been so tired so I haven't been doing much. This picture sums it up since in RL I have just been going around lazing in comfy clothes.

Oh and the internship is going good, I don't feel like a complete idiot---most of the time :-P

U2!!!!!!!!!!

In RL over the weekend I went to the U2 concerts and had GA tickets and was in the inner circle (blah I know that mean nothing to probably everyone, but it means I was close to the stage)

So in honor of that here's a u2 picture with me and the band

Love it :) Ah to only be that close in RL-Sigh

9/11 Memorial

Hmm don't know how to start this post, so I'll share my RL experience with 9/11...

It was my first semester of college, I didn't go away to school so I was at home in bed just waking up because I had to go to class at probably like 10 or 11. My mom was already up and had on the news. I could hear the tv going and people beginning to talk about planes and crashes. I got up and went out to the living to see what happened. My mom told me a plane hit the WTC. I asked on purpose? We then both watched as the other plane hit and gasp. I got ready for school and as I drove there the radio stations were talking about what was going on. At school tvs were everyone and the tv room was packed. My first class got cancelled because my professor's brother was either in NYC or at the Pentagon (the day is blurry at times). I head to the tv room where they show the tower's falling and people running. I get up and go the bathroom and cry because it was scary and I didn't know what was going on. I think that's what happened most of the day-everyone was glued to the tv not really knowing what was going on.

So anyway I wanted to see how SL was honoring 9/11 and although most was hey come list to Jim secondlifer sing his covers of Jack Johnson and the Doobie Brothers as we honor those lost in 9/11-where your red, white and blue. There was also some prayer services.

I did find on the New York sim a WTC memorial. I went and it was nice but full of people asking for money. I don't know if it's up all the time. But if you venture away from the crowd it's nice and moving. If you turn on the radio stream you can hear the names of everyone who died being read. I didn't get very good pictures as it was very laggy.

There's a flag for each victim-representing the country where they were from. These were all over and this picture only shows a small part.

Part of the memorial. All these slabs have names on them.

One of the slabs.

I had never been to the WTC before 9/11 but I visited a friend in NYC after and we went there. The whole thing was very surreal. There were people taking pictures of essentially a huge hole. There were people with pictures of loved ones around everywhere. It was just odd and emotional. I got teary eyed just going to the SL memorial.

I would recommend visting-I don't know if the memorial is up all the time. I think the tower memorial would probably be I'm not sure about the flags though.

Symphony

So last night I decided I need to do what I orginally started the blog for. So I browsed the showcase and found a place to go. I chose Symphony because I love the nature sims, so I decided to see what it had.

There are so many pretty places. You teleport around by a map that is located everywhere.

Naturally my first place I chose was the library. It was all right. There was a piano that I played with mostly.

Hot no :)-Hot boots at least from Periquita :)

Next I visited the lighthouse. Ok builders here is an suggestion for Amie-Don't do spiral staircases b/c little Amie can never get up them. I should have taken a picture-I ended up just flying from the outside. Sigh...

There is a little pond near the lighthouse where you can feed the ducks.

One of the best parts is the reef-omg I loved it. I think I may have to turn into a mermaid. This picture does not do it justice at all.

The island also has a little place with a bunch of flowers and butterflies flying around. Really pretty. I should have take better pictures of my bathing suit-it's so cute.

Baths which reminded me of the Roman baths I went to when I was in Europe years ago.

And a few waterfalls.

The place is really pretty, there's couple poseballs all over and the island plays well symphony music but when I was there earlier it was playing jazz music. A nice place to sit and just listen to the music.

Oh and the place is full of animals, horses and dolphins and my little reindeer friend and a HUGE WHALE!!



WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :)

I have a few more pictures on my Flickr if you want to check them out. I know I'm not a great photographer but yeah whatever.
