This week, Miss Berry, compliments of Winter Jefferson, wants to know what we think our avatars get up to while we’re offline. I admit I’ve wondered about this myself, so it was really just a matter of shooting a photo to illustrate it.

This is actually a two-part meme. We can choose to do one or both of the challenges. Don’t you love multiple choice exams where you get to pick which questions you answer?

Here’s what we’ve been asked to do:

Meme Instructions: I’m giving you two options to choose from this week. I will be doing both of them but you guys can pick and choose, unless you’d like to do both as well.
1. Meme Suggested by Mr. Jefferson: “What does your avatar get up to after you log out?”
2. Blog about one of your closest friends in Second Life.
Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments (of this post) and if you decide to do any pictures with this challenge, please share them in the Blog Memes flickr group.

So, to explain my photograph about what I believe my avatar does when I log off: I have long bemoaned the disarray in my inventory. I am fully convinced that Peep, the avatar, waits only long enough for me to sign out to dive headfirst into my inventory and wreak havoc. Undoubtedly, she drags carefully filed items out of their folders back into the root directory, pulls the dozens of items I have put in the trash (but not cleared) and sneakily stuffs them back where they came from, writes notecards to clog up that folder, and yes, even strips off, pulls her hair up, fills the tub and bathes with my shoes!

So, believing I might catch her up to no good, I planned my own sneak attack, logged in as an alt and caught her in the act! Look at her – she doesn’t even have the decency to look guilty! Hell, she doesn’t even have the decency to look decent O.o

I’m only going to do part one of the challenge – as you can probably tell, I’ll be very busy cleaning up this mess and replacing all of the shoes she ruined 😦

You Know I Had To

1 Peep Show_034

Yep, as soon as I saw a preview of the gacha items for Devious Minds at the OMG Gacha event, I knew I had to do whatever it took to get this sign! It is as if Chandra Meehan made it just for me 😀

And of course, as is the way with gachas, I had to dump a small fortune into the machine before I scored the Peep Show sign I desperately wanted – even if it is a Common item! I racked up three Rares and multiple other Commons before I finally was rewarded with my personalised sign. Ah, the thrill of it! No wonder gachas are so popular – it’s the anticipation, the sorrow and joy, the excitement when you finally earn the reward.

I can only say that if the creators in SL continue to devise such clever and whimsical items for gacha festivals, they will continue to rake in the cash while the rest of us happily enjoy the thrill of the chase.

You know you’ll have to 😉

Cleanliness Is…A Buzz-Kill

Don’t you just hate it when you’ve gotten dressed to go out and you realise you need to clean the house? Whether to prepare for expected or unexpected guests or just guilt over the starving dust bunnies, you just can’t justify a shopping trip or a night on the town when you are worried the health department might pay you a visit.

Sighs…

So you scrub…and you dust…and you do the two-step with your Swiffer…

1 Simplicity

…until you’re too exhausted to even consider going out.

And if anyone shows up on your doorstep, you’re pretty sure they’ll be walking away with your feather duster.

(In a place the sun don’t shine)

Both outfits are from .:Vivid:. with texture-change huds for the top, belt & skirt of the dress and top and jeans, as well. Thankfully, being able to simply change the colours keeps these outfits out of the laundry!
