Warm Winter Nights

When you hold somebody’s heart in your hands, your head twists and turns.

And I have the proof

Alicia Chenaux has launched this week sort of a meme in 3 topics. I have been really busy with Owl’s Bay and just have time to answer the final one

Here it goes:

“We spend a great deal of time in Second Life shopping. Why do you think this is?”

I’m not much of a shopaholic and most of my time is hanging around with friends or exploring. It has been ages since I shopped.

“Do you think you could have fun in SL if you didn’t shop [and that includes getting freebies!] for a week?”

I (almost) always have fun in SL and, like I said  above, I don’t spend much time buying stuff

“How big is your inventory? Do you keep it organized or is it a big mess?”

“cough cough” 27,386 items. It is neetly organised except for 3 folders: Objects, LMs and Notecards. Mostly because of things that people drop on me. My trick to have everything a bit organised is to put it immediately in the proper folder when I buy or grab it. Of course I have a folder that states “To be organised”. Does that count as mess? hehehe

“Do you shop for mostly fashion items, or do you shop for things like toys and prefabs and other gadgets?”

Lately I have been shopping mostly for the themed parties I go to, either organised by me or friends and also for things to put in Owl’s Bay. Formerly I mostly shopped for hair, shoes and visited shops friends told me about.

My connection is not very good most of the time (or is it SL itself? hmmm) may be that is the reason I don’t go shopping more often… too much time for things to rezz or the pay button to appear.

Anyhow here goes my favourite place to go shopping *winks

I have been giving some hints on our new project and been busy busy with my friends puting it all together and still some minor details to be sorted out.

I already told you here about one of the initiatives we are sponsoring, the Short Stories Contest (see rules here) but let me tell you what we did there so far.

Owl’s Bay is a totally non commercial island. Our idea was to make a place where people feel comfortable and enjoy eachother’s company. Thus we divided the island in 3 smaller ones. I will just tell you about one of them in this post – The hang out island. Here you can find:

• Imso’s Tavern: Relax on the porche, dance (try the multi player polonisian dance, I bet you’ll get dizzy) or have a mug of beer inside. Still working on some games for you to play there
• Several cuddling areas facing the sunset for the perfect picture
• Fireplace to hang out with friends on a nice evening chat
• And my favourite (drums please)  THE DRAMA AREA.

Now I see all the question marks over your head!

Ok, drama is all over SL, right? We all know that, we all hate it and we all are bound to get involved in it in a way or another. Why not have a special area for it? Here you can slap and push your partner/friend/whatever in a real fight, sit on a bench and cry, face the sea on your own with that “lip face”, throw yourself to the floor and bang your fists and feet and a few more things that you have to go there to see. Amidst the ruins of an old Aztec temple you will find it (there is a teleport at the landing point).

Only thing about the Drama Area is that instead of hearing screamings and fights we just hear laughs coming from there… is it possible to transform drama into laughter?

For you to decide *winks

One fine March day last year I landed in our land to find this new lady resident sitting by the apple tree reading a book.
I welcomed her, asked if she needed something and soon we started talking and were there for hours speaking of everything and nothing.
I’m not usually very talkative (kinda shy actually) although I’m nice to people (so they say hehe), but with Carla I had this feeling that we were bound to be friends. Don’t ask me why, but there was something in that girl’s speech, which made me sit there and talk.
One and half years have passed. Our friendship grows stronger everyday and I really admire her. She is one of the few people I know that allies reason and sensibility with an acute 6^th sense. Not to speak about her building, scripting and photography skills and her opinion about everything of course *winks
I can’t imagine my life without some people and Carla is among them.

Thank you for being there my friend. Neither of my lives would be the same without you in them.

People did tell me that but I just didn’t believe it *winks

You Are a Natural Flirt

Believe it or not, you’re a really effective flirt. And you’re so good, you hardly notice that you’re flirting. Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt. And the fact that you don’t know it is just that more attractive!

Yesterday I had the honor to celebrate Aggio’s and Katie’s union. When I first met Aggio about 5 months ago he had just arrived to SL but we soon became good friends. I am very happy for him and Katie and wish them a long and blessed journey together. May the Goddess bless you both my friends!! .

Warm winter nights, where stories are told and words are blown away by the wind.

Stories about new worlds, new friends, new feelings…

A new home where friends are welcomed and strangers become friends.
