Farewell Steelhead

At tonight's Steelhead town meeting, Lunar announced that due to RL circumstances he will be closing all of Steelhead's sims by the end of this month...

I had seen this coming. Knew it. But it still didn't make hearing it any easier. I walked back to Harborside as I have done after meetings for years...

I have spoken so many times of the ephemerality of SL. This was my virtual home. This was where I came back to when I returned. So many years. So many memories. I took down everything and afterwards, just sat on a box at Laval Point with a pic of my original home on it. I just wanted to sit there for a while...

I know it was a very hard decision for Lunar to close down and by default, close a community. I stood and watched one of my most favorite things in Steelhead: the sun rising from off of the bridge.

Farewell Steelhead.

Laval Point Decked Out for the Holidays

Mrs P made some beautiful holiday wreaths and swag, so I thought I'd make Laval Point a bit more festive. I was going to set out the mistletoe again this year. Hm...

Writing in Both Lives

I am particpating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in RL, so I thought it'd be fun to have a writing desk at my home inworld.

For those of you who are not familiar with NaNoWriMo, you essentially have to knock out a 175-page, 50K words manuscript in one month. I've fallen a bit behind, but I think I'll at least come close this year compared to back in '05, when I only got to 161 words. I've become much more efficient as a writer since then.

I think there's something nice about SL me writing while RL me is too...

C'mere Fishie Fishie

What's a tiny bunny do to relax? Sit on her dock and fish, that's what...

Why Tinies Shouldn't Have Magic Wands

I was sitting at home twiddling my paws for a moment, deciding what I wished to do next...What to do...what to do...
I rummaged through my things and found a magic wand. I pointed it at the ground, said a few arcane words and POOF!!! Waffles. Lots and lots and lots of waffles. YESH.

Yard Critters

Yes...I am one of them...

I now have another bunny--named Hunneh--hopping around like crazy in my front yard in Harborside to keep Sunneh (on the left) company. It is actually a lot of fun to watch them. They were hopping all over Lunar when he stopped by for a visit. I tried to tell him they are vegetarians, but he is convinced that they were trying to eat him.

Fix the Moon PLEASE

Lunar's being human seems to come with a elven to human age regression it seems. What human age could that be? Let's just say that I was wondering why I was overprim and I came inworld to this:My cry of "LUUUUNAAAAR!!!!" could probably be heard all over the sim--if everyone wasn't fleeing from the rolling restarts going on throughout the Grid:

SL Simple Pleasures: Pets

I don't know what I was upset about enough to lie down on the grass like this, but my little pet bunny Sunneh hopped over right next to me and promptly fell asleep. I will admit that I thought it was extremely cute. Lunar said I looked drunk. Nothing like friends sometimes, huh? As far as I am concerned, if I am on the ground and my glass of whiskey (that works even while down) isn't in my hand? Not drunk.

In the Fishbowl

Popped inworld briefly to help Lunar out with a texture. I was still a mermaid, but where else is a mermaid out of the water supposed to go in the meantime? Solution? I had a fishbowl handy...

Little SL Happinesses

I have little things that make me very happy while inworld. One of them is watching and listening to the waves crash at my home in Steelhead...Another is doing so while dancing with a handsome elf on my roof...*sighs dreamily*
