16 Random Things About Me You May Not Know, Nor Ever Wanted To Know

Well this is my attempt to answer the "16 Things" challenge going around. I have no ideas what the rules are. I just patterned my answers based on Tymmerie's posting. I would have left this as a comment to her blog, but it was getting a bit long. But I am still NOT a blogger!

Without further adieu here are 16 facts about myself in SL:

1. I have man hands. I think I am suppose to. I wonder if I can beat my wife arm wrestling now? (Note: you may want to read Tym's blog first)

2. I use to sleep on beaches belonging to others when I started with SL. I loved when I would find a hammock or hot tub out in the open. I just didn't get where people would actually pay money for land..... I now pay for a sims worth *sigh*

3. I have an office at my home in Ghambt that I rarely use. Well I built it to help me with my SLumlord business. I guess if I had actually started a SLumload business I would then actually use the office.

4. I love that my wife tracks her half-rez days. Hey, I love any chance to throw a party!

5. I use to fly around the grid and look for clusters of dots. I would then drop in to see what was going on. I found a lot of casinos and sex clubs that way!. Good times... Oh, pay no attention to that fact that my rez day is four month after all the casino's were shut down. It is a typo I think.

6. I want to open a few little shops in some cottages down by our boardwalk. I am afraid all my other projects will keep me from doing this.

7. One of the many reasons that I rarely wear prim eyelashes is that I have a huge fear that they will not rez for people and I will just have big gray rectangles above and below my eyes. That and I am a guy.... Oppps, I was cutting and pasting my wife's answers so I would have a template :-)

8. I have a millions copies of a million projects I have attempted in SL. I really need to clear most of it out. That and my binge buying that I occasionally partake in. Yet somehow my wife inventory is much larger. Something about shoes I think :-P

9. I once had a horse. Sadly it could not be transferred...

10. More often than not I have a default noobish animation for my walk etc. I do have a very uber kewl animation that I sometimes use. But then I see myself strutting to pick up the morning paper, or take out the trash, and I say, well enough of that. I suppose I am also afraid a potential Starting Point resident will be intimidated if I walked up to them like that. The woman will think I might forcibly throw them on a pose ball, and the men...well maybe they would think the same thing too - lol. I am sure the RL press is full of stories like that.

11. I like to freshen my wife's coffee cup on her desk. That way it is always warm and steamy for her :-)

12. I have so many noobish items in my inventory it is frighting. Seems like every time I started an av in SL I had to go around picking up freebies. Hmm, did I just say that. Why on Earth did I think I needed it all I will never know (objects and accounts..).

13. I always like to save money and get the full pack of whatever I am buying. So even though I have had the same hair color 99% of the time, there is still that 1%. And doesn't everyone need 30 color variations for their SL toilets with the realistic flush sounds?

14. I love to dress appropriately for whatever I am doing in SL. If I am building I like to wear my construction outfit. If I am underwater I like to have a scuba set up on. And if I am enjoying my year long honey moon, I like to not be wearing my black boxers...

15. During my time in SL I have made my share of mistakes and learned many lessons... I think it was all necessary for me to be where I am today. I love the life I have and everything about it. I particularly love being married to Tymmerie Thorne and sharing it all with her :-))

I can't find a handy RL picture. I supose I may look something like one of these....





16. I too love the magic of Second Life!!

My 1 Resolution and 1 Prediction

This is really just just another long rambling comment to one of Tymmerie Thorne's blogs...

Well my New Years resolution seems to have been not to comment on any one's blog! It is not that I have stopped reading them. I still do. Especially those of the lovely and talented Tymmerie. Have I mentioned that she is my wife :-) I am sure I normally comment way too much on Tym's blog. And people might be enjoying the break. I also tend to ramble on quite a bit when I am commenting... hmm what was I commenting on this time....

Oh yes, I think I hurt myself with my last comment. It led me to put words down on that blog thingy with my name on it. Note: I still claim I am NOT a Blogger. Well unless I am trying to get into a kewl blogger party. I am a Commenter and proud of it! I was a Plurker too, but I am a little ashamed of my excesses in that area for a while. Anyone need a slightly used dancing banana suit? One really should not sell their soul for Karma. hmm....

Anyway, my 1 resolution and 1 prediction.

I really should turn my SLound on more. I usually only do after noticing people around me moving in strange rhythmic patterns for about 10 minutes before I realize they are dancing and there is most likely music to go with it. That, or I am in a sex club. Sometimes the only way to verify which, is if I can hear music. Now if it is raunchy p0rn music, it can be impossible to tell. Also, I can not base any conclusions by what people are, or are not, wearing. There have been people just wearing thongs at some dances I have been to....

Oh wait, I was suppose to be writing about a resolution. My resolution is to actually finish all the build projects that I start. Particularly if they involve rental properties. I am working on my sixth attempt and really have very little to show to date. Darn SL always distracting me with eye candy and people moving in strange rhythmic patterns....

Oh honey, I am working on a prim head. So far it looks like a block of prim wood. I will get back to it... any day now....

Now my prediction. I think the Lindens will get wise to what Tymmerie and I are doing with the Starting Point and will start offering a similar option to the new people that sign up to SL. If their goal is to keep people I think it would do wonders. I would write more on this idea, and a few others I have for Linden Labs, if only I had some kind of tool to post thoughts and ideas. Somewhere to share what I am thinking with others that also "play" SL. Once I find such I thingy I will let you know....
