My interwebby is (allegedly) back!



Well possibly only temporary but I can upload. So I thought I'd better do some unread hash up of what I've been up to in the last few days.

EEEEK Spiders!!!

Tie and I went to check out the little seen Toxic Garden which is one of the rezzable sims.



It's very very purty and exciting as you can see, but there are these little bastarding spider/ant thingies.


They look all fine, but they chase you. And if they catch you, they teepee you home. Which sucks.



We thought we'd get tooled up and blow seven shades of shit out of them but it didn't work.


Ummmm

In other news we decided to go on a RL camping/sleep in the car trip to find Rayment's Hill, from the Clive Barker novel Weaveworld. Using the book, and old map, and Tie's unerring sense of direction *snorts* we set out on our adventure. Needless to say we didn't find it. However we did learn...
  • A Vauhxall Vectra isn't as nice as a bed.
  • Kitty is completely incapable of pissing in the great outdoors
  • Some bends you have to drive around sloooowly
  • Devon and Somerset are full of crazy people
  • Women in the city of Wells in Somerset don't wear bras
  • Camenbert will make your car smell
Pretty soon we'll be posting a video of some of our RL adventures. Which'll be nice.

And that's it, other than I was inspired by the Cannery exhibition to do some more piccies.

5 Reasons....

Why you should never invite us to weddings.


1 - We don't care if we may upstage you
2 - We will show up dressed inappropriately with body parts on display
3 - We like white and will wear it if we feel to
4 - We don't stop swearing
5 - We will flirt with/insult all your guests

(There was meant to be a picture but the interwebby hates me, I'll post it on tomorrow)

Ummmm ok......

You Are An ENFP

The Inspirer

You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends.
You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority and rules.
Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives.
You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!

In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart.
You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. And you do break a lot of hearts.

At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do.
You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.

How you see yourself: compassionate, unselfish, and understanding

When other people don't get you, they see you as: gushy, emotional, and unfocused

Jumping to conclusions

One of the biggest causes for DRAHMA I found is probably the general misconstruedness of the whole thing. Yes you've know this person in SL for a whole month, yes you've emptied Linden balances together, laughing and cackling and receiving many raised eyebrows from passers-by. But then one slightly random comment throws the whole thing out of kilter.

It's all too easy to misread something, I mean I can't count the number of times that I've misread something in a book, and these things have been written and rewritten, and then edited, proofread, re edited, slung in a freezer for six months, removed, rewritten completely before being released on the general population at large. Ummm oh yeah I digress, but still, the point is you're not meant to misread books, but I still do (mebbe I'm thick, who knows). So when it comes to SL, with it's acronyms, typos, smiley faces and so forth, what hope do I have of not misreading stuff. You also have to take account of the variety of different languages and cultures in SL. In the uk we call each other twats and wankers as a term of endearment. But some people get the hump.

I dunno, I think I'm writing this as a word of warning to people, do not read between my lines, there's nothing there, anything there is generally not added for the benefit of anyone other than Tie. Don't apply standard rules to possible tones etc that I'm using because it'll be completely and hopelessly wrong. If you wanna think summit about a 'way' I might have said something, feel free. You wanna act on that? Step aside.

Ta!

In other news I seem to be writing for the Metaverse Messenger, please don't think I've forgotten Filth, I haven't, but in keeping with SL being a a fantasy world I'm a sort of workaholic (in a procrastinating lazy, foul mouthed sorta way).



LOOK!!!!!!!! It's a BEEDOG!!!!!!!!!! HAHA! Seriously check this shit out!

Baboon? More like....

Kitty getting dolled up

So maybe I was having a bad day with that sudden outbreak of bubonic plague, but I don't think I looked half as bad as Kitty at that party. Take a look......


*scampers off to retch, still traumatised by the memory of walking in, arms linked with "donkey girl" Lalonde*

Before Tie posts summit hobbable...

    53.5/100Rate My LifeRateMyLife.net - Find out if you suck at life

Yay for me! (Look, I'm thinking positively and at least I'm slightly over the half way mark, curse my divorce and finger nail biting habit)

Word of Warning

Never, ever, under any circumstances, say to anyone who has photoshop and knows how to use it (even vaguely) "You'd never ever deliberately fuck up one of your own pictures just to make me look shit"...




Not that I need photoshop to do it.



*snicker*

*sighs*

So I logged in this morning to the exciting news that Ginko has gone bust. It's not like I had an obscene amount of money in there, but meh, the whole exciting story can be found here.

Other than that, I've spent much of my time wandering around looking at the little white spot over me head, and listening to other peoples conversations. I have to say I'm with Hawks on this one. I like the idea of voice when with friends and stuff, being able to get out my many many expletives whilst playing Tringo will be nice, as I'm normally concentrating to hard to type anything legable. Certainly nothing along the lines of "Oh my fucking god where is the fucking bastarding two piece, oh fuck I've fucked myself up the fucking arse again. Bastarding game, this game sucks arse, ooOOoOooo yay! Get in there. Ha!!!" (yeah I do actually say all that, ask Tie).

Where was I?

Oh yeah, so voice, I've got it on, but I ain't speaking unless I really really likes ya!

I other news I found another greenies Sim! Ok so the prim works a bit shoddy but it's a lot less laggy hehe.
