A birthday gift from SL

A big ugly 4 time zone clock. Useful but ugly and it doesn't work the way it is supposed to, but happy birthday to me anyway!

$64L later...

Ok I am officially hot at this game. 8 seconds is untouchable by anyone, anywhere.

I've made $64L so far and had fun doing it but it's odd how my perspective has changed. I went from spending hundreds of Lindens everyday to having none, and then having them be so closely monitored. It is interesting how scarcity changes your outlook on things. A month ago I'd have looked at $64L as almost nothing and now it's an accomplishment that I earned that many in a day.

Weird, huh?

I had a fun night tonight. Jan cam and hung out in the seedy bar where this Scramble game is and we met a really new newbie. He had butterfly wings and he honestly seemed to like them. Jan and I cured him of that as quickly as we could, which still wasn't quick enough.

Typical SL bizarreness...

This girl was running around naked. That's it. Just around and around the same place, over and over. I snapped a pic of her when she stopped for a breath. Apparently in order to have the privilege of an audience with her, one first needs a formal introduction:

.

[12:52] Emilee Gackt: Running around naked again I see.

[12:52] Sayaka Landar: do i know you?

[12:52] Emilee Gackt: No.

[12:52] Emilee Gackt: You just went streaking past.

[12:53] Emilee Gackt: CTRL-R will turn off running and let you walk again.

.

So run around naked then, see if I care.

.

On to the next encounter...

.

[13:52] Tristen Breen: hi

[13:52] Emilee Gackt: Hi

[13:53] Tristen Breen: so where u from

[13:53] Emilee Gackt: Around

[13:53] Emilee Gackt: You?

[13:53] Tristen Breen: florida

[13:53] Emilee Gackt: I know some people there.

[13:53] Tristen Breen: o yeah. cool

[13:54] Emilee Gackt: Are you really that new to SL or is that just a new account for you?[13:54] Tristen Breen: no i'm really that new

[13:55] Emilee Gackt: Really? You've gotten things figured out very quickly haven't you?

.

He had prim hair, new clothes and a pretty good AO. That's a LOT of help.

.

[13:55] Tristen Breen: tryin to. i had a girl teachin me sum stuff yesterday

[13:56] Emilee Gackt: Apparently she didn't finish the grammar and spelling lesson did she?

[13:56] Tristen Breen: wut do u mean

[13:56] Emilee Gackt: You're joking right?

[13:57] Tristen Breen: um. yeah i guess

[13:57] Tristen Breen: i'm just spelling lke i text

.

Ok Tristen, now define the word 'Irony. Irony. As in when something has another meaning that's usually funny.'

.

My ticket to riches in SL, $1L at a time:

.

[14:21] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: ROPTIEFNRGIE - resulting in or likely to result in a profit or an advantage:

[14:21] You: profiteering

[14:21] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: Congratulations Emilee Gackt, you have won this round in 19 seconds.

[14:21] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: The word was 'profiteering'.

.

[14:23] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: IOYEMTELV - causing strong feelings:

[14:23] You: emotively

[14:23] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: Congratulations Emilee Gackt, you have won this round in 17 seconds.

[14:23] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: The word was 'emotively'.

.

[14:25] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: TTBEXSUS - a hidden or less obvious meaning:

[14:25] You: subtexts

[14:25] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: Congratulations Emilee Gackt, you have won this round in 17 seconds.

[14:25] Hell Bop Bar Scramble Game: The word was 'subtexts'.

.

The odd thing is that the game was going when I walked in, which might mean that Tristen Breen might have actually started it, which seems a bit out of character for him.

.

Between raking in a wad of cash ($13L!!) and 'helping' a so-called newbie, I actually spent some time working on projects.

.

Like my dots? Blogger won't let ME decide where to put line breaks and is trying to do it for me. We can't let the machines win!

I need to file an appeal with the Lucky Chair people

Mistress calls me some form of 'gackt' WAY more than she calls me Emilee. In fact I can't remember her ever using that name to refer to me. Perhaps when making introductions she has.

Jan calls MLE more than Emilee. So really, I should get three shots at these so-called Lucky Chairs - E, G and M.

Thank you Jan, for sticking with me and my limited windows of time I can give you. Every second is worth it and is a treasure.

Tonight's lesson, also brought to you by the letter 'M,'


[2:33] Jacquelin Mazi: imagine... just for a moment.... how perfect it would feel.... if you just gave in to those feelings hm? stop and play it through your lil gackty heart.... how does it feel? still scary? if you stop thinking so much and worrying?
[2:34] Emilee Gackt: It would feel freeing Mistress.
[2:34] Emilee Gackt: I could just do it.
[2:34] Jacquelin Mazi smiles

This is more than just SL stuff between Mistress and me. There are real lessons here. How much more genuine would people be if thought and repercussions and expectations didn't cloud what they did and said? /me smiles and goes to bed. I'm sure I'll remember plenty that I forgot to blog. For now this will do.

These people are utterly and completely wacko.

Sometimes even after being in SL for so long I am still shocked by what I see.

$500L for a pair of torn, blingy jeans? Just totally insane. They bling! I'd pay $500L for some attachment that would keep me from ever blinging.

The name of the store (so you can avoid it like black death) is Redgrave Women's Fashion. I added the apostrophe for them. Apparently they were too busy rolling around in piles of money to care about punctuation.

[8:02] Emzie Allen shouts: wheres womens clothes
[8:02] Emilee Gackt shouts: Don't bother - They're overpriced and over-ugly!

I had no intention of making this blog a rant about clothes, but while I am at it...

What is the deal with Fat Packs? Why would anyone want 6 of the same top in such similar hues? What am I not getting?

And what is a Willow pack? What does that even mean? Who is Willow? Does she know Ruth?

Thank you Macaulay Xue

Mr. Xue left this on the porch for me. What a treat newbies can be for the rest of SL sometimes.

Other than that, not much to report. I got to see Mistress briefly after not seeing her for a few days. I was glad she stopped in.

Ack!

I logged in and as my SL vision was still coming to me I saw that little blip of a sign saying...

[0:05] Jaan Dubrovna is Online

/me smiled and started to type an IM. "Let's get together Jan, quick before Mistress arrives!"

I clicked on 'Send' and got this...

Ack! I JUST barely missed her! This is a textbook example of a bugger.
