Happy Wootmas!

OK, so we tinies love to carol and when the call goes out, we grab our carol books and go! Today we brought some Wootmas cheer to the sim of Fallen Gods (one of my fave places for fantasy skins) and had a great time performing for the biggies there! And of course we riverdanced afterwards!
I later got multiple encores when I sang from the Raglan carol book at the Steelhead Holiday event at the library. It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it!

St. Lucia Day in Caledon

Otenth was throwing a St. Lucia Day holiday party in Caledon. I hadn't seen Dia in a while and wanted to hang out with her. I warned her that I was coming as my squirrel self, but I was ready with my St. Lucia outfit on--candle wreath and all...
Otenth and Rudolfo Woodget were great hosts (as always) and it was a nice time with traditional carols and klezmer music as folks did a circle dance. I had a great time and it was nice to be with old friends...

Gone Caroling...

I thought I'd hang out with my fellow tinies and joined the Tiny Raglan Carolers for an event at Frostburg State U. The biggies enjoyed our performance a lot...
And so did the folks at the AviChoice sim. I know that I had a lot of fun! Happy Wootmas!

Raglan's Got Talent 2014!

Like the Spooktacular and the Medieval Festival, the Raglan Talent Show is one of the yearly highlights of the Raglan Shire events and always has a great turnout!

Caleb donned a tutu and did tricks on a barrel! Don't singe your fur!
 Daisy read us one of her stories...

I laughed so hard from Fullauto's rendition of William Shatner's "Rocket Man". SO FUNNY!
Oh mah Glob...for years DangerCat (Etheria) has thrilled us with her daredevil antics. So much tiny bravery. Her poor assistant Panacea usually has to help her out when things go a little...awry...
 Gracie Saint Possum performed for us...
And then there was the grand finale from Songbird, Flea and Co. You should see a woolly mammoth dance...It was AWESOME.
I love the Raglan Talent Show. Sometimes I see folks that I haven't seen in a long time. TOO much fun!

Drow/Dark Elf Roleplay Sim Considerations...

I love being a dark elf/drow. A little wicked. A lot sexy and beautiful. An absolutely fun form for me to be.
I have been considering doing fantasy RP for some time--something I've never truly done--so I thought I'd check out the Realm of Estara...

I went to their Drow 101 workshop and put some thought into my character, but I still haven't dived in quite yet. I also checked out Mystara...
I came across a huge bear and quickly steered clear. I really liked their Underdark area and overall look. I think that with both, as I am so new to this that the "paragraph style" of RP'ing is frankly, intimidating as hell and I don't want to make an ass out of myself. I did a little RP back in City of Lost Angels/CoLA years ago, but it wasn't longer form para RP. It's unclear how to start as a newcomer to me. Do I need a mentor? How does that work? So many questions...

Tossin' Cabers in Raglan Shire!

 There is always something fun going on in Raglan. I was center right square on "Tinywood Squares"...
...But what I had been practicing for was the caber toss. All those years of doing it in Caledon paid off, although as a tiny those cabers looked bigger than ever...
...But I won 1st place!! My fellow contestants Bloodsong Termagant (rt, 2nd place) and Ami Temura (left, 3rd place) did a great job too!

Groovy Times at Raglan's Wootstock!

Aww YEAH...it's the grooviest time of year in Raglan Shire: WOOTSTOCK!
Here's Songbird, who would perform...
 
Chance seemed to be enjoying the vibes...
 And so was Fullauto...
RayRay was psychedelictastic...
Oh yeah, and there I am. Come on out to Raglan Shire! Biggies welcome! Peace, love and waffles, man!

A Bunneh About Town

Since I am pretty much back, I have resumed my duties as a Steelhead Ambassador and that means I am the Councilor for Harborside. I get to welcome folks and pretty much make sure things are OK. I thought I'd take a walk through the town. Takes a while on tiny bunneh feet, but I did find these carrots (YUM!) at the Steaming Rabbit Cafe in Harborside...
Called a truce and fed the turkeys in Boomtown...
 And climbed up and took in the view of the whole town from the top of St. Helen's...
I love Steelhead.

Reflections on RFL 2014

As some of you know, RFL is a very personal thing for me. One of the reasons I came to SL in the first place was that I was dealing with my mother's cancer treatment at the time. I saw SL as a place of peace where I could build and forget for a moment. RFL is my yearly reminder of her and others who are special to me's fight with this disease. I know so many who lost their battle and others, like my mom, are still here to fight another day...
I totally enjoyed cheering folks on from the Steelhead campsite this year. Pared down my outfit and stood barefoot in the grass as folks went by...
As I heard the names of those that I love honored during the luminaria ceremony, I welled up. There is a reason why we do this every year...
Our Steelhead Salmons team and the town of Steelhead raised over $1000.00. This year's Relay in SL raised over $410,000 real-life dollars overall! Thank you all so much for participating and trying to make a difference!

RFL Campsites and Sims 2014

I mostly cheered folks on this year rather than doing lots of laps myself. If you came by Steelhead, you got "Hooo"'d. Here is Lunar's fantastic build for Steelhead's campsite...
 I love my Raglan Shire community of tinies...
 This Troy Vogel-designed sim kinda reminded me of Superman's Fortress of Solitude...
 MUSHROOMS! GIANT...GLOWING...MUSHROOMS!
 Underwater sims were a new thing this year and I LOVED them!
 A derpasaurus! Wait...it has a gold tooth. Too funny!
 Alia Baroque's very pretty sim...
 And Beq Janus' Escher-inspired "Metamorphosis" site...
It was nice to see so many people participating despite the lag from beyond!

Steelhead West Moorland

I thought I would explore the latest sim in Steelhead: Steelhead West Moorland...
 It is a wild and beautiful place...
 How could I resist running through a meadow full of wildflowers?!

Dance the Night Away

So much for my not feeling like dancing! First, I popped through the Steelhead Walpurgisnacht dance. I actually became best friends with Lunar after a great conversation while dancing with him in 2008. He was not in tonight though. Aww. Here I am in my demon self glory:
 And then danced with Phin at a blues club to celebrate his Rez Day. I had a great time! Happy Rez Day Phin!

This is a rarity--me as a blonde. Enjoy.

Now back to my brunette self.

Us Gals

All I will say about this pic is that after four years, it felt good to have all of us back together...

Oh and Happy Rez Day Dia!

Getaway

Between grad school and serious illnesses for two very close members of my family, my RL has been...hard for the past couple of months to say the least.

Coming back for me has been a redefinition of my SL. No obligations--not even parties or building or participating in anything. Maybe in time. Maybe not. No nothing that gives me the slightest inkling of anxiety or stress. I come in and talk with Phin, Dia, Lunar...my friends. I leave. Simple as that. The only exception is my attending the town meeting in Steelhead. That consistency of community every Tuesday night is nice.

But sometimes I come in to do the equivalent of the pic above...to just sit and listen quietly to music in my skybox.

And that's enough.

Wheeee!!

I had my computer fixed in order to be back inworld. I mean, not to jinx myself, but virtually no lag. So I put in to the test. I flew around the sim, swooping and diving, going under bridges--it was absolutely exhilarating!!!!
