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..............

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.

Gullible Amie

So apparently or at least the word around SL is the whole Brazil missing girl thing is a hoax so yeah-but hey apparently if you search with keywords, brazil missing girl SL my blog comes up first-Yay!! So hello to my gullible friends who believe rumors on SL welcome to my little blog :)

Anyway I visited one of the showcase places tonight and took a bunch of pics but too lazy to write anything about tonight since it is 1230 and I have to get up in 7 hours. Since my blog was supposed to be about neat places in SL I figured I should start doing them again.

I'll post my two favorite pictures though :)

It's a freaking reindeer how cool is that. I tried riding it but I couldn't. BOOO. There was also horses all around too but I couldn't ride them either although if you click on them you get notecard saying you could. I want to ride a horse.

And here's me looking cute-although dark I need to learn how to play with windlight.

I had to mute a dumb guy who was following me around while I was trying to take my reindeer picture and then he followed me EVERYWHERE!!

Random thoughts

So over the weekend I lost my internet-yeah no big news-but that made me think about SL in general. I don't know how many people are like me, but out of your friend list how many people on that list do you know their first names? How much personal information do you know?

I know hardly any-which is scary-I have a few people that I talk to consistantly and one or two I'm not really sure of their first names. Why? I don't know it never came up I guess. But since they live so far away and I don't know much information about them then what would happen if they just didn't log on for days, weeks, months. What could I do then? I wouldn't know what happened to them, they could have just stopped coming online, they could have lost their internet like me-or something else more serious could have happened (I'm not saying what because it's too sad). I'm the type of person where if you friend me I will be your friend for life, even if I don't know you very well I will be sad if you disappeared or if something happened to you in RL. It's just how I am I feel bad about everything.

I'm not expecting people to tell other's everything about each, I don't think I ever would, I won't be friends on facebook with them or anything-I guess I would say keep SL in SL.

I got a notice today from one of my groups about this girl in Brazil I believe who has been missing for four days, before she went missing she had told someone that she was going to meet someone from SL. It's a sad story.

I don't know if I'm adequately explaining what I'm trying to say, but just think about it-I mean you can be as close to someone as you want it's your SL.

And also I don't know if the missing girl story is true, but if you EVER meet someone from SL or from the internet in general-please be careful-you never know and that is what is scary. Get someone to go with you meet them in the most public place possible. Just b/c he's lovey dovey super hubby in SL doesn't mean he's not creep-o dude in RL.

Just my 2 cents for the day.

My rez day is in less than a month-wow crazy. I dug up some early Amie pictures that I will post :)

Back online

Sign...back online after only a few days. What was wrong?

My mother freaking modem was dead-and yeah this is the 3rd modem in the 2 years I have had fast internet (I previously was using aol dial-up, as slow as it was I didn't have to deal with having no internet).

So anyway I got back online and had how many emails??? 43 in regular and 36 in spam-holy crap, I checked my email Sunday morning-you sure do get a lot of crap emails in SL or maybe it's just my subscribe-o-matic habit that I join them all.

Ahh so anyway back online and will post again later...or three weeks from now probably :)

Oh btw not homeless paid my rent last week apparently :)

Computer

Computer down no internet-don't know when I will be back online again since stupid people have to come out and cost me lots of money :(

If anyone goes to Frank's Jazz Club tell them I haven't left SL for good I still want my job. I also can't remember if I paid my rent so I may be homeless when I get back :(((

Hopefully I'll be back online in a few days and I can fix it myself.

Booo for dsl internet!!!

Penguins!!!!

So yeah I said yesterday I posted Google Analytics to see if people actually read my site-I got a few and only about 1/4 was from me :)

So one of the neat things it does is keep track of how people get your website and how they search. So two were not that exciting and self explanatory but one was weird-it was penguin follower lsl (I have no clue what lsl is though...). So I thought hmm where the heck did I talk about penguins and do I love them.

Well I guess I do-well I have love for my SSUS pengy pumps at least and wrote of that, but since I'm a penguin follower Here's some pics for you:

The penguins go around my head, I got them around valentine's day. The shirt I got last week at Avantmelon for 15L If sl would let me tp away from penguin land I could give you a slurl (I told you I was the best fashion blogger in SL).


Me with the skating penguins locat here in sl. Why does it look like I'm doing the robot, damn cheap AO.

My shoes are also little penguins-left foot has a penguin girl the right has a boy too cute.

So I really don't have much penguin stuff. The spot I was at had a tiny penguin avatar but I crashed before I could buy it. It also had penguin pets you can hold.

In RL news-has everyone seen the people of walmart website? I would post the link here but the website has been down for days b/c everyone wants to laugh at the people (ooh that might be mean). But check it out and maybe the site will be back up.

Hmm I may become penguin girl since I can't tp out anywhere.

Google Analytics and new Furniture

Because of Emerald- /me waves to Emerald I decided to put google Analytics on my blog mostly because I want to see the crazy search ways people get to my site but sadly my blog is not popular b/c I guess I'm not a sl celebrity or very witty (btw b/c I'm a dorky librarian I googled sl and read articles and stuff on it-did you know Callie Cline was on Maxim's hot list in 2007, well the girls for SL was like number 95 or something and she was chosen as person to show off I guessI was entertained by that), but I did get 5 views in a day with only 2 being me Yay for me!!! Oh and I do have 3 followers now-Hi Banana and Angela :) I keep forgetting to take pictures of the dress Banana made because of my obsession with flowers-that's right I inspired something, in your face Truth hair people (in reality I would die if Truth named a hairstyle after me).

Anyway so my point to the blog-well there isn't really one-I haven't really been doing anything in SL. A bunch of hunts started yesterday and I started one but got through 2 places and gave up. I give up on hunts I'm just going to places where I know the store.

Oh but speaking of hunts The Heart and Sole sim had a hunt last week and I found a new store that I absolutely adore, it's called Sommerfeld Designs-I got a living room set for for only 100l. The items I looked at in the store were around that price 100-150. Now I admit it is REALLY primmy and since I only 150 prims where I rent I had to rearrange some items in my house.

Here some pics of my set:

Another chair came with it also but I don't have enough prims :( All the chairs and the ottoman have at least 5 poses in them.

Gotta get Toby in the picture, oh and yeah I fixed my 8 feet off the ground couch

Looking hot

Now I know I'm no sl expert so maybe this furniture isn't that fancy but is cheap!! The store is doing the twisted hunt it seems and had a goth bed in it so if thats you thing go get it :)

Oh and here's my new profile picture:

Hmm Amie is available for random chat ims b/c she seriously thinks she spends way too much time with her sl dog-sigh. I still look hot though :-P

So other than that I have been decorating up my house with fall stuff. I bought a fall tree months ago and bought some leaves that poof when you walk through them. I'll get pictures of that soon.
