Saturday, Nov. 14 was my 2nd birthday inworld. Does that make me old? I
think in virtual terms I am no longer the spring chicken. It doesn't make
me a veteran either.
Last year, when I turned 1, I held a huge party at The Brick to celebrate
this milestone. I had 7 music performances scheduled, even though the first
on the schedule didn't show up...so I had 6 hours of great music provided by
some of Second Life's most talented artists.
This year, however, I didn't have a party, at least not like that first year,
and the reason being, I honestly didn't want to spend time and money on getting
the entertainment for the party set. After a busy RL day on my actual rez day,
I am glad I didn't. The plan, was not to have a party, but maybe just a few friends
over at The Brick with some funk music and dancing. No invites were sent, other than
when the time felt right to switch the stream did I decide to call on people.
I just started iming whoever was online. I wasn't disappointed in the turnout. I had 16 people show up...ok, so maybe 3 of them weren't on my invite list, they were people who just showed up at the club because, well, it is public. Still, it was great to not have one person complain about the music. They all danced, we all chatted with each other if not much, still, it was a social night.
About an hour and half into this little gathering, people started to fade out, and leave. I didn't mind it too much, because for an hour and half they stayed and "partied". It was a good time.
Later, my favorite person inworld showed up, and the night was made perfect by the 3 hours of dancing that followed.
Happy Rez day, indeed.

Chchchanges
Changes.
Some are good, some aren't so good.
Changes to the club, usually good.
Changes to friendships, usually not.
Changes in schedules, usually good.
My real life has taken a higher precedence in my schedule, so I'm not on SL as often as I used to be. Not only that, but there are other reasons why I choose, that's right, CHOOSE not to be inworld as often as before:
If I'm not online as often, I don't shop, therefore, I don't spend lindens.
If I don't spend my lindens, I don't have to struggle every week to pay for things I have to pay every week inworld.
If I'm not online as often, I find I am not as bored as I have been for months now. SL is simply not as fun as I found it to be the first year or so I was inworld. I find the less time I am on there, the more my absence is noted, and it makes those inworld friends want to chat you up the next time you are there.
If I'm not online as often, there isn't any drama to deal with, unless some stupid griefer decided to leave junk on my parcels.
If I'm not online as often, my friends actually miss me, and yes, I do miss them.
I expect that one change an affect the other. If I'm not online as often, I can see how some of my friendships could change. I would hope that if there are any changes to them, that they will be for the better. Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
We'll see.
I've cut down on shopping(ok, so I have the occasional splurge),how much land I own, and how many people I trust, it seems less is better.
Can it be I'm becoming boring in my 2 years inworld? Or has SL lost it's appeal..
The holidays are coming up...maybe that will put me in a better mood inworld, we'll see!

More updates!
Sorry for the lapse in posts. I've been busy inworld and off!
Funny, I know you're gonna laugh. The last post had to do with makeovers at the Brick, and today, I'm gonna sound like Polly the parrot.
I did it again, I renovated The Brick, and I do mean renovate!
I took the roof and top floor off the building. I then retextured walls and floors in adobe and brick. It looks a bit meditteranean! Added some plants, put some of the posters back, added a pavillion outside for more dance room, and added an exterior entry wall with gate. I'm quite pleased. I think I'm done renovating for a while.
Come and check it out.
As far as I go, I'm doing pretty good. I'm selling off land I don't need and cutting back on how much I spend on SL. I spend way too much.
Hanging out with the few friends I have on SL..that's what I look forward to going inworld.
