My 10 SL Firsts Meme – I Thought I Was So Cool, But I Was…

1 ColdLogic_046

Yes, Miss Berry loves being nosy! And maybe enjoys watching us squirm 😀

This week’s meme challenge is to tell about our SL firsts. I can guarantee there will be some blank spots – not just because it is embarrassing, but I really don’t remember. In fact, some I’ve deliberately erased from my memory! Make sure you check out Berry’s firsts and the comments section of the post for other embarrassing moments.

Here are Berry’s instructions.

Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following 10 questions and answers into your post. Delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to link your post in this meme’s comments so everyone can read yours!

First SL Friend: Cindy. She actually dragged me kicking and screaming into SL from another virtual world. She played very heavily in the first couple of years of my Second Life. Alas, we’ve grown apart and I think I’ve only spoken to her once in the past year.

First SL Kiss: I can’t remember the guy’s name. I was VERY new and I thought we were going to dance. Instead, the poseballs put us into a clinch worthy of Joe Louis and Mohammad Ali! I was so new I didn’t realise I could just stand to get out of it, so I did the noble thing and poofed instead 😀

First SLex time/place/partner: OK, this may be cheating, but it was actually not me (Peep) that had SLex. It was my husband (at the time) who took me into SL as one of his alts (female) and showed me what it was like. I was too busy laughing at the poseballs to be able to remember the place. This was actually back in 2007 or 2008, before I joined SL myself.

First SL Partner/Girlfriend/Boyfriend/Wife/Husband: Romeoheart Vyper was my first boyfriend. We’re still very good friends and I even attended his wedding recently. I’ve never been partnered or married.

First SL Job: A dancer at Miss Barbie’s Place, a big booby club. I’ve mentioned before the trauma this place left me with and it was my friend, Cindy, who got me the job there. I have recurring nightmares of the prim boobs we had to wear. That is probably why I have such an aversion to Lola’s now!

First SL Creation: Um…I think the only thing I’ve ever managed to create (besides chaos) is a box. And I was damned proud of that! 😀

Oh, I take that back. I (sorta) created a bacon ‘stache 😀 This is my sweetheart wearing it…umm…proudly! (Can’t you tell from the look on his face????) And yes, CD’s laser beams ARE cooking his bacon crisp :p

First Encounter with a Linden: Four and a half years in SL, and I’ve never met a Linden. I’ve watched some of Torley’s videos; does that count?

First Encounter with a SLebrity: Hmmm. I think the only time I’ve encountered a celebrity of any type was when I had delivery problems with an item I purchased and contacted the creator. Being such a shopaholic, I consider designers celebrities. I think the first one – and truly a lovely woman – was Nena Janus of League. She actually apologised that Second Life ate my new jeans and shirts!

First SL Sim you fell in love with: Sadly, it’s gone now. Isla Clairveaux was a beautiful sim that changed with every season. I do miss going and discovering all of the fun and wonderful things Claire had found for each new season 😦

First SL Blog Post: That’s easy since I’ve been blogging for less than 3 months lol. My entrance to SL blogging is here. However, I’ll give you a couple of bonuses: a photo of my first avatar AND my first “fashion shot”!

And now, I’m going to go stick my head in the freezer to cool my hot, blushing cheeks!

Third Time’s The Charm

1 Bret Marnie Wedding Day_285

I met Marnie and Bret not long after they got together in 2011. Marnie is bright and outspoken; Bret is a country boy who speaks only when he has something important to say. Or to “grrr” or “mhm”. I have always loved them as a couple – the perfect counterpoint to one another.

But, as many relationships go, they broke up. And got back together again. And broke up. And got back together again.

This time, however, they’ve sealed their commitment. In fact, when Bret asked Marnie to marry him, he wanted to do it in a week. Maybe he’s just impatient, or maybe he finally realised he’d found the woman he was destined to spend his life with and wanted to make sure they created their happiness right away.

With a country-themed wedding, blended with elegance and style, it suited them perfectly. I’m not going to say anything else – I’m just going to let the pictures speak for themselves. You can click the photos to see larger images.

He loves her more than Dr Pepper and pizza and she loves him more than shoe shopping and vanilla cake. What better foundation on which to build a life together?

My Life Is A Movie Soundtrack Meme – Shazam Doesn’t Work When I Hum

1 Miss Audrey

Anybody who knows me has to laugh that I’m even attempting this blog challenge. I LOVE music…but I can never remember the titles or artists of songs. In fact, to get one of the songs for this post, I had to ask one of my friends, “What’s that song that we like?” Fortunately, she knew exactly what I meant and not only told me, but sent me a youtube link within seconds 😀 And sadly, I sing so badly that even Shazam can’t even recognise when I hum a few bars!

The idea behind this meme is to present your life as a movie soundtrack, using the prompts given. This was the brain-child of Sylvia Oliver. You can see her post and check others who have done the challenge in the comments section by clicking this link. However, I must give credit to my sister, Tu, who did this first. Her post is here.

When I thought of my life as a movie soundtrack, I had to decide who to play me. Who else, but the incomparable Audrey Hepburn. I know I don’t do her justice, but I tried to at least be a little Breakfast at Tiffany’s 🙂
