Nostalgia

1 Nostalgia

Sometimes when I have something I need to blog, I just start rezzing stuff and see what turns out. In this case, I started with the Cozy Bed from Kuro in the Iona Conservatory from Trompe Loeil. The reason I started with this build is because I had it rezzed on my platform and couldn’t be bothered to get rid of it and start with something new. Besides, I love the shadows it creates, so win-win.

The end result was a feeling of nostalgia; for what, I’m not sure. Just days gone by, maybe even in another life.

Tell Me The Story

1 Wistful

I didn’t really have a reason for this photo. I just put on an outfit, rezzed a few items, plopped down on the suitcase and played with Windlight until I found something I liked.

I think there is a story here, looking at the image. Is she moving in or moving on? Or is she simply taking shelter on her travels?

Will you tell me the story?

Second Life Friends List Meme: Bosom Buddies

1 Me & Rwah

Miss Berry is once again delving into our personal lives with questions about our Second Life friends lists. She has asked us to drag one of our mates along for a photo and answers to her questions. Since I know Rwah is a fan of Monday Memes but doesn’t usually get the time to participate, I hijacked her the second she logged on to coerce politely ask her to help me out. Even though she had a lot of her own blogging obligations to fulfill, she readily agreed…cuz that’s what friends do 🙂

In case you want to play along, here is what you need to do:

Meme instructions: Grab a friend from your second life friends list (optional) pose with them and/or answer the following questions. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments (of this post) and share your picture in the Blog Memes Flickr Group.

My answers are boring, so other than mentioning that I have 159 friends on my list, I clean my list fairly often, have met the majority of my friends through club work and do have someone I would trust with my password, I’m just going to skip on to Rwah’s answers. Rather than just listing the questions and answers I am going to share our conversation, edited only for continuity and to remove some of my inane comments 😉 .
