Crazy Little Thing

It’s Valentine’s Day. The one day of the year when you’re meant to express your love to your significant other (at least according to Hallmark and FTD).

I’m not a big believer in Valentine’s Day. In my mind, if you care about someone, you show them every day. But since it’s here, I thought I would take the opportunity to write about the special man in my life. I would have gotten around to it eventually, but why wait?

I titled this post “Crazy Little Thing” because that’s probably the best description of our relationship. Crazy, silly, fun-loving. If you’re in Second Life and check out my profile picks, you’ll find this under My Shining Star:

Cupcakes, bacon and a giant green moth…who knew they would steal my heart? You gave me back my joy, my favourite Polebarkian ♥

It probably doesn’t make much sense to you, and that’s ok. Those little inside jokes that two people share are the glue that bind them together. He “gets” me and I “get” him. To the point that we have a space at our Second Life home that represents his head (which I seem to constantly inhabit).

I’m not going to wax lyrical about the two of us. I’m not going to pour out my heart about how I feel about him. I’m just going to post a couple of photos that show us and that crazy little thing…

Simply Shane

On first glance, Shane is as tough as the title character of the classic movie by the same name. Protective, mysterious and a little bit dangerous. He projects an air of quiet confidence that is not to be trifled with. That was a side of Shane that was easily captured when I did his photo shoot.

But there’s another side of Shane I wanted to portray, as well. The side that stole a pixie’s heart. A man who is fashion-conscious while maintaining a masculine image. A man who is generous and caring behind a facade of unyielding masculinity. A side that is a little harder to get to know, but worth every ounce of effort.

He’s a bit of an enigma. He’s decent and kind.

He’s simply Shane.

You Don’t Know Jack

I met Jack at the club where I work, Breaking The Rules. Jack was new to Second Life and stumbled in one night while I was working. He was witty and funny and there to make friends.

And he did. He comes into BTR sometimes, but mostly he’s off doing other things in Second Life now, with a whole new group of friends. He’s funny and nice, and now that he’s been around for a few months, he’s found his identity. And he’s found his “look”, with the help of those new friends.

So now, you know Jack. Well, a little bit about him. He’s one part bad-boy biker, one part hard-working mechanic, and a whole lot of parts that you’ll have to find out for yourself.
