Prad Prathivi

I’ve often considered doing a post solely about Prad, but the same problem kept coming up: When do I write it? He keeps doing new awesome things for me and I knew if I wrote one he’d just do something else awesome and I’d have to write another post. My whole blog could have ended [...]

Watching Love

I’m at Crown and Pearl right now, just watching love, and it’s making me so calm and happy.
Two people I barely know are slow dancing in a room where it’s only me and them. I’m perched on the DJ box looking down over the place I adore, and no one’s speaking. And I feel no [...]

I’m lazy cause I’m busy :)

Until recently I was making sure that every night I alternated between posting a picture to Flickr, and writing a new post here – so that I was consistently contributing to both. Flickr’s right pissing me off lately because it’s removed almost every favourite I’ve ever had added to my pictures, which is an annoying [...]

Chim Love

I have a very vivid memory of being given a free chimera (“chim”) at a Second Life club one night. Maybe it stuck in my mind because the club had railway tracks running straight through it with regular train crashes, which was very disconcerting the first time it happened! But the stronger aspect that stuck [...]

Adjusting, and Vain Inc pic

A lot is going on and changing for me right now in my Second Life so I’m using my blog lately as a diary of sorts – keeping track of my days and how my mood moves with the adjustments.
I struggled with the decision of whether to go into SL today, but gave in as [...]

My 2008 Second Life

As we slip away from Christmas and towards New Years, it’s the right time to gather my thoughts about how 2008 went in Second Life for me: The new friendships, the lost friendships, the change in my SL personality, and the events that stood out above all others.
New Friendships. I could never do an exhaustive [...]

“You should get your own Crown & Pearl!…”

Over a year ago The Three Lions pub closed down in Second Life. The dominant personality at the pub was not the owner like you might expect, rather it was Prad. This was not a contested fact. And depending on which rumours you listened to, his decision to leave the pub was the last straw [...]

Bailey Longcloth

After reading Kimber’s very loving and touching post about me on her blog (I plan to return the honour sweetheart); reading Bailey’s Thanksgiving post on her own blog; and recently deciding to temporarily drop my friends pick in my profile, I’ve decided to write a public “yay” for Bailey Longcloth.
Bailey was one of the most [...]
