This was last weeks meme, I am late on it but I for the life of me didnt know what I wanted to do. Then while decorating my house ... I remembered a picture that a friend made me. I am a leo, I whole heartedly feel I am seriously a leo at heart! So this will be fun!

Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your post; then delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to leave a comment below with a link HERE to your post so we can all come by and check it out!

1. What is your birthday and/or Zodiac sign? –July 31st, LEO BABY!!!
2. Do you believe in or follow astrology? – Yes .. I believe in it to a point, I am not a freak of it or anything like some people are. I like looking into the stars and believing there could be a story there for us you know.  
3. Do you feel your sign’s attributes reflect who you are? – Its funny, but yes. I believe that I am Leo all the way. THIS SITE was put out to Plurkers before and its funny to read these and be like yup ... mhmm ... yes ... OMG ME ... Taken from the site that Berry had on her Meme THIS IS SO ME!! HERE
4. Have you ever been to a psychic or astrologer either in RL or in SL (are there any in SL?) Uhmmm .. No ... Well ... does like a carnival count, you know the one that is totally fake and they tell you what you wanna hear to be funny.  I dunno lol, but no I never been to a legit person before.
5. Do you read your horoscope daily and try to follow any advice, recommendations or warnings it may have for you that day? No, I rather follow my fortune cookie! I dont really believe in horoscopes. I find them amusing but Honestly, no I would never really take one seriously. 
6. Do you have very strong feelings about astrology, either negative or positive? Minus the horoscope I feel strongly about my star sign, I am proud to be a leo, I find the attributes to be correct. I think they are reflected very well of who I am. I never really got interested into this kinda stuff till  I was maybe 16 and we had a school project to define our selves and see if were actually like our zodiac signs and since then I always felt that I was very close if not right onto mine. SO yay my mom for having me when she did lol.

Intriguing Questions Meme

Heey Everyone, its Monday and you know what that means. Strawberry Singh has placed out a new meme for us. Now she has been giving us some hard ones, and this one is suppose to be easy. We shall see about that hmm.  This weeks meme is Intriguing Questions.

Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your post. Delete my answers and input your own.  Don't forget to visit her blog and put your posts in her comments or mine, so that we can visit and comment on your posts! 

1. How do you deal with criticism? Well, It depends on the situation. I like positive criticism, specially when it comes to my pictures. I always like to improve on things, and that includes my blog. I am not one to get REALLY offended unless you are seriously trying to tear me down. If you have nice things to say to go with it, then I am more likely to listen and take note. For those that like to bash and tear down, odds are I am going to get defensive and strike back. 
2. What’s the most infuriating thing other SL residents do? There are a few things people do get me all RAWR.  - Getting in my way when I am taking a picture and push me around cause they are trolls.  - People that keep trying to push their point when clearly it is not wanted.  - Rude people tend to make me RAWR most, I am normally a nice person, I will listen and comment if I feel like drama wont come about but sometimes its just better to keep your mouth shut lol. 
3. Which SL resident would you most like to have lunch with and why? Can I just take a bunch of people to lunch? I mean that is a long list of people that I want to pick their brains.  But uhm ... hmm .. I guess If I HAD to chose ... I would go with Λric (vlad.sharktooth)  As to why, he does amazing pictures (totally draws amazing hair). But because he has been on my inworlds friends list for a long time now and ... we never really sat down and just talked. He has always captured my interest from previous conversations ..
4. Who would you say is your “anti” role model? Someone who serves as a warning rather than an inspiration? I have people on that list. For purposes to not cause hella drama. Lets just say there are some. They are on that list because they have done something that doesn't sit well with me. Normally I am not the kinda person to just put another on that list .. but it happens. 
5. What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you?  I am not sure what to put here. I mean I guess there really isn't anything that sticks out.
6. What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about? Having sex in public?  Oh wait ... never mind. To be honest, there isn't anything I am embarrassed to tell someone. The good thing about SL is sometimes you can just say something and it is what it is. The confidence level is amazing here, you don't have to feel like OMG I am an idiot for saying that. Though sometimes I guess there are those moments haha. 
7. What’s the oddest term of endearment you’ve ever used or that someone’s used for you? Snowflake .. which I didn't understand till later. Apparently to black men that is what they call their white girlfriends? I thought it was cute and yet odd.  Though that has long since ended. 
8. Have you ever fallen in love with another SL resident? Yes, this is a place where your heart can be most vulnerable. You are putting your trust into the hands of another and hoping they don't break it.  
9. Describe a time/event in your slife that you’re nostalgic for. When I would leave my platform and felt good about going out and meeting people.  Being Social outside of networks.  When past mistakes weren't made and people didn't look at you odd for your choices. 
10. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you? Take me out. I know that sounds easy enough. But I would love a really good date, laughing, fun, dancing, and coming home late.  No pressures just easy going fun. 

So that is the meme for this week. Cant wait to see what Miss Berry has for us next week. *hides in the corner and waits*

The Haunted Meme

I am really late on this but I wanted to actually think this one out as well. I have many fears and this one is one that I dont speak of often. Only those close to me know it. Maybe expressing it now will get it out.

Berry you have challenged me this week.  Meme Instructions: What are you afraid of? What are you haunted by? Share some of your fears and if you can, create an image depicting one of them.

My image represents how I feel. My greatest fear is being alone and fading away. I have always come off as arrogant, I know this. I am good at masking my feelings and not letting people in. I guess in a way this pushes people away from me.  I have no issues with shutting myself off and closing down and "hiding" so to speak.  

I am insecure to the point that I feel like that people don't like me. Lately I have noticed that I keep myself sheltered I am scared to let others near me. Even my own husband *points to her SL partner box*.  Though I think he knows me well after two years in this crazy place.  I never done good alone.  I always felt like I needed someone around me. Being left alone I feel paranoid.  I get crazy thoughts in my head. I get the sense of abandonment in my head. I guess in a way it makes me dependant on some. Its not always a bad thing, but its not a good thing either.

I can be in a room full of people all of them could talk to me and that doesn't shut out the feeling of being alone, it almost like they communicate because they have to. Though I know it isn't true, its just how it can feel. I have always had found it hard to make a real connection with people. There are the rare few that get me. Those that are special to me. Then there is the rest. Its like watching the world pass you by. A busy street so to speak and the people are walking so fast and I am just in slow motion.

I dislike not being noticed. If I contribute to something, or say something and people just ignore me. It fuels the fire of being alone. Its insane, most people can brush it off and move on, but not me, it bugs me. Though like before I said I am good at masking it. I can hide the fact stuff bothers me. I stay silent and I let it go into a box in my head till that box is full and it explodes. 

This is a meme that was hard to talk about. I guess its a good thing she put this challenge out. I know most are scared of needles, and spiders, some of you have some weird fears, but they are your fears and this is mine.  I am Monophobic ...

Meet My Friend Challenge ....

So I was suppose to this on Monday. For the meme challenge, but this one is a bit longer to think about. So this weeks challenge is to pick a friend, and "showcase" them. Now we are to ask a series of questions and stuff, which I did ... and not traditional mind you.  So lets get started.

Once upon a time ago. In a land far far away in a little world we like to call FMLwithLotsofdramaandpretendwearebetterthaneveryone ....otherwise known as Secondlife.  There was a creator named ... Mason. Now Mason he wanted to make SL a little more social for people so he made this program called AvMatch, where av's like myself and Brendan here can meet up and see if we "Match".  Ok. Well this back in the day is what a good looking avatar looked like ... (not so much now and I might not live after this post for using this picture)

 So this is Brendan Weymann, and the proof is in his pic *points to the name in picture*  Well I met Brendan so many years ago that when I asked him how long we known each other he told me forever. And in this world.. forever is like a week. But seriously, we known each other for years now.

We been through alot of stuff. Yelling, bitching, complaining, laughing, being stupid, you name it we prolly done it at least once (get your head out of the gutters people).  So this is what a true friend should be like. Someone that will put up with all your bullshit and still love you at the end of the day.  Well maybe he doesnt love me, I never gotten a straight answer for that one.  So ... this is us today ... years later ...

Now today, Brendan likes to think he is all that and a bag of chips and that is ok, he is allowed to think that. Because frankly I believe I am better than he is.  Its what happens when you put people like us with big egos in the room together.  Not enough space.  But I still like him.  Proof behold in the profiles ....

In his profile with my pic:   So this one likes to think she is my equal or even better then me, well as we all know, that is not even possible! Other then her misguided beliefs, she is a real sweet girl with a lot to offer as a friend. Lucky for her, we are friends!

In my Profile with his pic:  I have something nice somewhere to say about him. Ok I thought about it.  *points to the dude*  He believes he is the best.  Infact he believes it so much its in his profile.  But When it comes down to it, he actually is the best.  The best Pain in the Ass ever ♥  I asked him how long we known each other he said forever, and its true, I would place forever on our friendship... even if he kicks me in the cheek.
Bʀᴇɴᴅᴀɴ Aʟᴘʜᴀ (brendan.weymann): /me kicks your cheek
See told you so....

(yes he does abuse me all the time....)

So I did ask him some questions.... lemme find them again ....



1.   How long have you been in SL really? 5.5 years

2. If SL was to end tomarrow ... what would you do?  What about your friends?  Text them

Ok yea, this isnt gonna work .... Answer these to the best of your knowlege ..


3. If the professor on Giligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?  He gets to be alone with Maryann longer, duh!


4. If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? His ego makes him brag longer


5. If you mated a bull dog and a shitsu, would it be called a bullshit? Nope I think it would be a dogsu


6. If Wile E coyote has enough money to by all that Acme crap why doesn't he buy his dinner? Nothing is more thrilling then the hunt

7. If a man is walking in a forest and no women is there to hear him is he still wrong? Never

8. What if Batman gets bitten by a vampire? He will then live forever to kick ass at night, sucks for bad guys!


9. Only you can prevent forest fires? Isn't that a lot of pressure?
Please, I'm amazing


ok enough silly ....


10. If you win $1 million, what would you do? Live free

11. If you could do one thing in SL what would it be? Naw i'm perfect as is


As you can see  a man of many words here. Gots lots to say and all that fun stuff.  Ok well maybe not to you all but he is a great guy to talk to. Single too... but shhhh I am not pimping him out or anything ... his name is Brendan Weymann Phone number 555 1234 and his adress is somewhere in SL  ...

Yea so that should do it...on my post of meet my Friend ...

Todays education was brought to you by the letter B for Brendan and the Number 42 cause its the answer to everything.   *waves byyyye*

Whats your Digits Round Three!

Sooo its meme Monday again and Berry has asked us once again what our digits are. ALMOST TO THE DAY 1 year later I am back and sharing how I have changed over the year.  There has been a debate over what looks right and proportional and what doesnt. Lets hope I look good. Well I think I look good...I get lots of compliments...haha. But ok. So lets get this started Shall we?

Last Years Post  - Oh my

Meme instructions: Share your avatar’s digits (if you want to, not necessary) and then copy paste the following questions and answers into your post, remove my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to share your link in the comments of this post and if you decide to share your numbers, the flickr group for the Digits challenge is here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/digits

Height –  [OO] Avatar ruler 1.4: Livvy Fhang, your avatar's height is 184 cm (6' 0") counting your shoes. (using the Avatar Ruler)
Body Fat: 6
Head size: 43
Torso Muscle: 29
Breast Size: 53
Arm length: 73
Hand size: 10
Torso length: 43
Love Handles: 31
Belly Size: 5
Leg Muscle: 45
Leg length: 45
Hip width: 59
Butt Size: 39
Saddle Bags: 31
Apparently I have changed some since last year, but not a big difference. 






 Average body proportions for Adult males, females and children, link here.



Proportions Challenge Questions:

1. Do you try and keep your avatar’s body proportionate and similar to the “average” proportions pictured above? –  I like to keep it real. I do not over size my avi, I dont make her into something I wouldnt want to be in the "real" so to speak. I do not like walking around thinking omg my ass is the size of a whale, or I would have to walk sideways to fit through the door, or my hips make it look like I can carry a basketball between my legs with out spreading them.
2. What do you dislike the most about the SL avatar mesh? – I think like what most people would put here and that would be the hands and feet. I personally do not like SL feet at all. And thank my feet suppliers for making mesh ones that look totally amazing! I am not a fan of mesh hands because for the life of me I cant get mine to look right so I kinda gave up.  But being in photography its hard to make them look pretty.
3. Does it bother you when you see other avatars that are not proportionate at all? – Yessss.  I am vain in SL. Not so much the real life me. In SL you can look however you want, I know that is the point, I never understood why people want to look the way they do at times. I personally am not attracted to an ugly avatar. I know people are like "oh its the personality" yea...it is...but I am visual too :D
4. Even though this is a virtual world and people can be anything they want to be, do you feel when they are in human form, they should try to keep their proportions close to average? I think they should keep it proportional to "human" standards, If you are gonna be short and fat, then be so the right way. Dont have skinny legs, and your bucket butt hanging out. and arms that look like twigs. I am only gonna laugh at you, no offence.  If you are gonna be tall and skinny and "model" so they call it then please do it right. That is my opinion and that makes me sound really bitchy I know. But I cant help it. 

Ok peeps so that is all for this weeks Meme/Challange and I Hope you like it and participate and all that fun stuff. You can learn a lot about others and all from doing these, I know I had fun. And YAY I made it for a year two! Lets see if I can make it another!

Weird Questions Meme

HAPPY MONDAY! Its time for Berry's Meme Monday/ Challenge, thinger.  And here are the Rules of the game.

Monday Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your blog post, delete my answers and input your own. Remember to go to Berry's blog and leave your link so others can read!! 

MY OTTER TOOK MY POPCICLE! Dang it December!!    (btw, you can get this pose from Purple poses, comes with the popcicle)

1. Which was the last sim you visited? (Other than your home)  Well I blogged this at Baja Norte  and then I came home lol.
2. Does your avatar look like the real you? Not really. I mean there are aspects of her that model after me at times. But as in personal looks no. I would say more like Style. 
3. Do you wear underwear/panties underneath your clothing when out and about on the grid? If I am wearing pants and stuff ... NOPE ... but if I have a skirt on or something like that, I tend to want to. I am not about to letting the perverts have at my goodies! 
4. If you won a million linden dollars, what would be the first thing you buy inworld? A Sim. I want to make a beach. 
5. Have you ever bought something in SL and then realized afterwards that you had already owned it from before? I do it a lot of times. Specially when blogging. I tend to be in groups that send out Notices in the normal group first. Then I run to the store buy the item and then it comes out in the blogger group...an I am like DOH! I just bought it. But It doesnt bother me. 
6. Have you ever done anything in Second Life that would be considered illegal in real life? Oh gosh, I have. Nothing major like content stealing. I got revenge on a Ex once and destroyed his property...like I returned all his stuff. I went into edit and took it all apart and put the peices all over the sim. I terraformed the land into a butt once and put a big red prim down that said you are here...right where the butt hole should be....lmao...I was devious back then...but I am over that now. I kinda let things roll off me. Not so emotional... (as that scares off anyone that might want to date me)
7. If you could go out on a date with any other avatar, who would it be? I cant give his full name. Because I didnt ask.. but his initals are E. A. and odds are he is reading this right now. And smiling big... but its a secret. (sorry if I am breaking hearts)
8. Who, in your opinion, was the greatest avatar to ever slive?  Me Duh!  Nah, I dont know who that would be. (though I do fan girl Berry cause her tutorials made my pics way better!)
9. What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done inworld? Omg I had my voice on with out knowing it, and I was having a conversation with my mom or someone in my house. And I yelled across the room, Hurry Up I gotta Peeeeee! And then people started laughing. I was like mortified.
10. If your avatar had a mind of its own, what do you think it would say to you? I never really thought about this before. I would hope she said "Thank you for making me this fabulous" HAHAHAH, no... really I think she might become a good friend and there would be secrets, cause she is my personality ... but she would definatly claim to be better looking loool.

Movie Post Challenge - Meme

Soooo this was a interesting one from Strawberry Singh.  HAPPY MONDAY peoples. Today Meme/Challenge is ....

 The challenge for this week is to create a movie poster for your SL Avatar or SLife. You can base it off an original movie poster or think of a completely new idea of your own! Get creative and have some fun with it! 

So for me. I wanted to do something I figured no one would do. So I chose the Movie Salt.

 Now I am not a Russian agent or anything. But its about finding out who this girl is. Most people dont know me personally. So why not go for this route. Now so I dont get in trouble with Copywrite and stuff like that. I did take the Idea, I am crediting now...to this poster.  I did change the fonts cause I dont know what they used.  But here you go peeps.

Acrostic Poem Meme

Happy Meme Monday my readers, so Berry put out another meme. This one I can do woot! I couldnt for the life of me find something to teach someone that people dont already know. So thank you for this one lol.  So this is a Acrostic Poem. Now you are prolly like what the heck is a Acrostic Poem.. well this is what it is...

An Acrostic Poem is a poem in which the first letter of each line spells out a word.  Ok so you think you might help? Berry gave us some websites to use...which I done ♥  Acrostic Poems Website
Which gave me this....

And for you cheaters out there....which I am gonna do too...there is this Acrostic Poem Generator

Apparently it thinks of me as positive and OLD....I am giggling...but here you go the cheater version

L is for Light-hearted, you have an easy laughter
I is for Inspirational, motivating people for the better
V is for Victorious, you're a winner
V is for Vintage, you're a collector's item
Y is for Yes, always believing in yourself


Ok so that is it for Meme Monday. I hope you enjoyed.  As for my picture since its about me blogging on my platform being anti social...that is what it looks like all dolled up...with the point of the meme my name :D ♥

Communications Meme

Soo this got out a little late. But better late than never *totally puts the blame on Berry for not getting hers done EARLY like she always does* Kidding. Strawberry Singh is awesome and its because of her I started to do these and a few other things.   So todays challenge is Communications. I also have another challenge under my belt too. Which was staying off my sim all day.  So I chose a beach...and I stayed there litterally all day and I blogged from it. At different angles. I have more to do...and more to come after this post too ♥

1. Who did you speak to last inworld today?  Brendan Weymann
2. Who has taught you most about SL? Tavik Bristol (the person who brought me here) and many other people as I learn alot everyday about SL and the things I do.
3. Who do you turn to for help? This is a hard one to honestly answer. I have some very trusted people that I turn to for different things. Even some that don't know it.  Depending on the situation each person has a different role in my life. 
4. Who is the most entertaining person on your friend list? At the Current moment its Colin Porterfield
5. Do you speak to your SL friends outside of SL? Yes! my most trusted friends have me on my phone, and others I am still getting to know have me in various different social places, and skype.
6. Are you part of a community or family inworld? Well it depends on how you look at it. I dont have a RP kinda family. I have my hubbyface (Cole) and a few close friends I would consider family.  As for a community I would say my bloggers networks are a community in my life. I am recently coming back to plurk so I would say they are maybe gonna be part of that too.
7. Are you usually around a lot of people or do you spend most of your time alone inworld? Lately I have been spending a lot of time alone. Its not because I hate being social. I just havent really felt the need to just go out. Now today, as my second challenge I did get off my sim and to a beach, where I have met some interesting people...and a guy that wanted to just stare at me... (creepy I know....) but I would say I am alone most the time. I think that is more due to the fact I find it awkward to just introduce yourself to a stranger, and most times if its a guy that IMs me its...for some noob reason (yes the sex) so therefore it kinda pushes me away from interacting.  Shouldnt stop me I know...but does. 

Ok. So there you have it. I answered the question, and this meme is almost complete. I need to add my credits on here because I want to blog this as well. Even if my picture is all done up!

Guilty SL Confessions Meme

Its that time again. Happy Monday all. Its time for another Strawberry Singh Meme of the week. And this one might actually get me in a bit of trouble. But I am up for that challenge.  This week we are talking about our confessions that make us guilty! I think honestly she wants to know some dirty little secrets of ours, then again I am looking forward to reading all the ones posted on her site too. I know this could be dangerous and funny all at the same time. So...here we go.

1. I am Vain: OK, so first off. I will totally admit this to anyone. I will make fun of avatars. And some of you do it too. Don't deny it. I really want to start "The People of SL" Website, like "The People of Walmart" because man there are some crazy avatars out there.  Like OK, first off, if you make your SL ass 100 and it looks like cottage cheese on crack...seriously what in gods name are you doing walking around in a prim skirt that don't cover your butt! Do you know how ridiculous you look? I will be the one silently pointing you out to my friends going OMG WTF is she thinking?!?! Or I will take a picture with my Grabilla and send your funky ass pick to a guy friend of mine and go there is your next girlfriend and we will laugh and laugh.  Now I know this is wrong, and second life should be about what you want it to be...but seriously. Some people make me wonder. Now I don't expect people all to be skinny and model and what most call "normal". But I have to wonder what is going through peoples minds sometimes when they log in looking all odd.

2. Stand Alone Dancing: Ohh this is a good one. I am guilty of when I am standing alone on my blogger platform. I have Pandora in my ear, music blaring, I cannot stand my av to just stand there with the ao going. So while I am blogging, my av is busting moves on the platform with NO ONE around ( kinda like now). I'm not even paying attention half the time because I am in 20 different screens (Photoshop, Flickr, Blogger, Wordpress, websites of designers). So while I have no good reason to be dancing. I just do it. There have been times...when I am just dancing away and not paying attention, friends log on to where I am and they are just standing there talking to me cause they think I am there, and I clearly am not. I come back to the screen all embarrassed cause they are talking thinking I am ignoring them, and here I am busting moves like some fool. And I am like "Oh...I didn't see you..." *looks away all red like*  and I am laughing by now. But yea...hey I am working on the blog...and I cant dance and blog at the same time to good music...so someone has to do it!!!!

3. I was a Furry: Now when I say furry. I mean full out furry. Not this half and half hybrid stuff we do now. Not Neko or anything like that. I was a full on furry. I was a lion. When I came to Second Life. My friend brought me from another game called Furcadia. Where you could be a Mario looking animal of sorts. It was more like a chat room and not really advanced like SL is.  So when we came here, I was still wanting to be an animal. So I was a lion.  Now at this time back in the day. Like '05 '06 Furries were frowned upon. They weren't as accepted. At this time I remember that most clubs didn't like them in the scene. Though that has changed a very little. it was intimidating. I couldn't go to most places, clothes didn't fit right. Griefers were really bad. It was just an unpleasant experience in my opinion. And today there is a clear boundary between a human and furry. Its like they have their land and humans have theirs. Which is stupid if you ask me. Peoples opinions make it hard for people to get along. But I guess it is what it is and there isn't much people are gonna do.

4. What a Follower?!?!  So Yes, it happens. Though I would love to think of myself as a leader sometimes. I do happen to end up as the follower. Specially when it comes to blogging. Now let me clarify this a little. I am not a copy catter, I do not take someones idea and copy it to the T. I will see something on flickr. Lets use Miss Berry for a moment as my example. I LOVE ♥ LOVE her pictures. (yes I totally fan girled there). I actually really ♥ her blog too. Because its detailed and organized. Now I don't want to be some rude ass and copy her blog exactly or her pictures. But I will fully admit that I get my ideas from her. Techniques and looks and designs. I will make them my own style. But I will follow in her footsteps. I do this in other blogs too. I see something I like and I apply it to my own. I know the point of flickr and blogs is to show off your own personal styles and looks and all that other fun jazz. But sometimes its just blah and ideas run out. So you collect ideas from many sources and apply them to your own.  So if that makes me a follower then so be it. I am proud of it! Yea!!

5. Bad SL Market Place Shopper:  OK my last confession of the guilty. I love shopping. I love shopping with out having to go out. So I window shop on market place. I have officially 45 pages of saved items I want and never bought from the site. I am guilty of looking at items and favoriting them and wanting to go back later and get them. Yet most times I never actually get the item. Or I will find myself going out in world and getting the item. So they sit in the favorites section of my marketplace account and its just getting bigger and bigger. Yes I should clean it. I might actually do that today so I can make this guilt go away. But odds are I wont. And it will become a massive black hole. I don't think its hurting anyone to have the items sitting there, it just makes a mess when I am looking for something I did favorite and I want to buy it. Its just easier to re look up the designer and go about it that way. I know silly. But its there. It will probably always be there. The mess of a marketplace.


Whelp that is the end of my confessions. If I keep telling all my guilty little secrets then I will have nothing left to make my life a mystery. Though I have to admit this was fun to write and I am happy I am doing these Memes. I look forward to Mondays now. Which is a shocking new revelation.  I do hope you all have a good week.  And post your Guilty Confessions on Strawberry's blog (link at the top). I look forward to reading them too!

My Three SL Wishes Meme

HAPPY MONDAY ALL! Its another round of Strawberry Singhs Meme's which she takes from some other site or something like that, or heck who knows she might be making them up herself. All I know is I am having fun doing them. And I am doing my best to keep up each monday *fingers crossed* So far so good... Alright... so topic this time... My Three SL Wishes

(PS) I am sorry for the slight crappy looking quality, I dont know what happened but ever since I got the new firestorm update, my pic quality has gone down something fierce, I am trying to fix it.

Details:
So you’re walking along the beach, kicking at the sand and you notice a magic lamp hidden under a rock. You pull it out and rub it, because what else would you do with a magic lamp? Out pops a genie and is ready to grant you three wishes, any three wishes to do with your SLife.

Meme instructions: Share three things you wish for or about your Second Life. They could be things you wish from Linden Lab, things you would like to have inworld, things you would like to do, or any kind of wishes you may have. Remember to leave your link in this meme’s post so others can come by and read your answers as well!

1. I wish Linden Labs would get their act together.  Now dont get me wrong. We have come along way since I first had my original Av back in 06, So much has changed for the better, but there is so much in SL that doesnt work properly now because they are more worried about getting more and new players into the world. I think they would have more players if they would work out the kinks in the stuff that doesnt work to the standards they should. I also believe they could do a little better in the contacting them directory and not a ticket. No offence I know this will raise some issues with people. But not everyone wants to have some form of payment on file. With the way things are stolen these days who blames them. So unless you are premium or payment on file you have to put in a ticket that...most times dont get answer. There is a lot of things I can put under this section but those of you who played for a long time I am sure you know the quirks.
2. I wish there was an easier way to list items used on a blog. I love blogging so this one is more about me personally haha. (and I might be out of the loop if there is a simpler way)  But when I blog. I put my outfit together, I then make a folder of the outfit, then I open each peice properties so I have both name of object and creator handy. Its just very time consuming. I just wish there was something a little more simpler. This little bump will not stop me from blogging though! 
3. And to be completely selfless - I wish my friends best of luck and wishes.  I am doing this because, I have met so many people in my life here, its been a really long time. (Well in SL time it feels like forever). I am thankful for all the "real" friends that stuck around me.  I say real because no matter what has happened to me they stuck near my side through it all. I love them and they are important to me like family. So they deserve to have a wish to them. All of them know who they are...cause odds are if they are reading this they do. 

Ok so that is my three wishes, and the Genie has poofed off. Not sure he can do anything about that first or second one...but the last one better be good. Or else...its off the melting pot for this lamp!

Creds for worn items:
Pants are by Drift
Top is Sakide
Hair by Tameless
Feet by Pixel Mode (with flip flops)
Bracelets from Just you Jewels
Necklace is from Amorous
Sunglasses by Izzies

Why Do I Blog Meme

Hiiiii All!! ♥ Its another Monday and you know what that means right? Another amazing Meme idea posted by Strawberry Singh! And this one I really like. Its all about blogging and how we all got started. I think this is an amazing idea because it lets you...our readers know why we do what we do. I hope you all like...and other bloggers I hope you re post on your site and link so we all can read about yours! 


 Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers to your post, delete my answers and input your own. Try not to swear at Berry in your head for having so many questions this week and don’t forget to leave a comment in this meme’s post so others can come by and read your answers as well!

1. How long have you been blogging? Since December 24th 2011 (older posts are located on the wordpress site)
2. Why did you start blogging? I started blogging for a couple of reasons. The main one is when I use to manage stores in Second Life, I would find that designers are generous. They like to hand out special gifts to friends, employees and bloggers. At the time I wasn't a blogger but I was doing photography. (not good mind you at the time). But I told a designer I didn't feel right taking free items from the business. So she suggested blogging, it would be a way to give back and help promote stores. She as well told me I had great pictures and good looks and taste and that would get me very far. And thus here I am today.
3. How many times a week do you post an entry?  I use to post everyday. I was feeling a bit burned out on it. So I cut my time back a little. I mean everyday for almost a year was a lot of work. So I would like to say I try to post 3-4 times a week. But weekly at the very least. 
4. How many different blogs do you read on a regular basis?  I am a blog reader for sure. I read a lot of them. I love the different looks and ideas. I couldn't count how many I have in my Bookmarks section on my computer hehe. There are so many. 
5. Do you comment on other people’s blogs?  Actually. Till recent no I haven't. But since doing the memes I like to do it now. I like to show my support. And its really nice to leave someone a compliment specially if you liked what they done. 
6. Do you keep track of how many visitors you have? Not Always. I blog for the fun of it. Even if no one read my blog I would do it anyways. But. I am happy that people read it. I really just blog cause its another outlet to creative process.
7. Did you ever regret a post that you wrote? I do not. What I write is what I am feeling. I will not post anything I don't believe in myself. Then I would be a fake and I refuse to be that.
8. Do you think your readers have a true sense of who you are based on your blog? I think in the fashion sense yes. In a personal sense maybe they will now that I am doing the meme. I also try to keep my about me section updated. But I am sure unless they are friends they don't know me as a person.
9. Do you blog under your real name? No, I blog under my second life name. 
10. Are there topics that you would never blog about?  Yes, there are things I wouldn't blog about. If I feel I have way to much negative in it, I rather not do it. If I don't have something half way positive to say I prolly wont do it. I like to blog about things that keep readers interested. I would say there are prolly some rules to what I blog about. 
11. What is the theme/topic of your blog?  Fashion. I am a fashion blogger. Though I am loving the memes that come out. So I guess its fashion and the likes of Livvy Fhang heh.
12. Do you have more than one blog? If so, why?  Yes, I have this as my main blog, and I have a wordpress. I found out that blogger has a limit on the storage of pictures it holds. So I made one at wordpress. Which seems to not have as small of one. You might ask next, why not just move to wordpress. Honestly this is my baby. I will find a way to make this work and I done so. I am sure in time I might move on to my own domain and have my info transed...but for now I am set up here just nicely.
13. What have you found to be the benefits of blogging?  Well, I think that blogging is an outlet for people to show off their skills. Its another way for designers to get noticed. This isn't a big one but hey, I am not going to miss out on saying free stuff. I know I don't blog for free items but yet it does save me a butt ton of money these days. I have made a lot of good friends from blogging. I got my name out there and made something of myself. There are a ton of reasons why blogging is beneficial. 
14. So, why do you continue to blog?  I tried to back out of it a few times. I felt like I was burning out. But yet when I leave it for a few days I find that I miss it. I think its just part of who I am these days. I am a blogger. Not a well established one...but good enough for me to keep wanting to do it.

SL Names Meme

SL NAMES MEME

Heeeeeelllloooooo! Its another Round of Meme's which I have been stealing from Strawberry Singh (click the name and go to her Meme, and site). I have been finding some of these to be rather fun and entertaining.  Though I havent done them all from her site, I am doing the ones I like. This one seems like fun so lets give it a shot.

Meme intructions: Copy and paste the following 8 questions and answers to your blog post, delete my answers and input your own! Don’t forget to link your post in this meme’s comments so everyone can read yours!

1. What’s your SL name? Livvy Fhang - (prounced... Livvy....Fhang? yea...sounds right)
2. What made you choose this name? Wellll funny you should ask that. I was actually banned from SL on my first av...yes I was a bad girl <insert shocked face here> pfft dont judge I bet at least half of you have been banned or made an ALT hehe.  But anyhoo, I chose this name because, I use to watch Soap Operas <again insert face here> And it was Port Charles, I dont know if you all know that one or not. But the girl that loved the Vampire her name was Livvie (Olivia) and I dont know I always really liked the name. So I was like hey lets use that one.  But I couldnt it was taken in every way possible...LE GASP And Fhang...duh Vampires...I know silly really. But it kinda suits me really. Not that I am a blood sucker, (ew gross).
3. What’s your SL nickname, or what do most people call you? (if applicable) Olivvia, Liv, Livvy, Liccy (that is another story), my husband calls me wife sometimes...Gosh there are so many names to list here...moving on
4. What’s your SL display name? Why do you choose to have one? (if applicable) Right now my display name is ღOlivviaღ .... But normally its Livvy Laurent. I Chose to have one because well, I am married in SL. I like the idea of having it look like I am married. Sure you could have it in your profile. And stuff, but what is the fun of that. I adore having my husbands name over my head.  As to why its ღOlivviaღ at the moment....well hmm I guess because sometimes a change is good? I figure Secondlife gave you the option to play around...why not have a little fun with it. 
5. Do you like your SL name? I absolutely love my SL name
6. If you could change your SL name, what would it be? Kasai Bristol *my first avi name*
7. What’s the craziest/funniest SL name you’ve ever seen? Dirty Slapstick
8. What’s the coolest (your favorite) SL name you’ve ever seen? DUH!! that would be my name! Nah, just kidding, uhm, there are alot of good names in SL. I would feel rather odd listing just one. Because I would be leaving someone out I am sure. 

Pet Peeve Meme

So its rare that I use my blog for something more than fashion. But I found this to be a trend thing I seen on flickr and as much as I don't want to admit I am a follower, I tend to be when I see something fun and growing.  So this was inspired by Strawberry Singh. She has been doing Meme's for a bit now and I read them because they are fun, informative, entertaining and also a way to get to know a person.  But this one. Stuck out. Its a way to rant. Which sometimes a person needs to do. Get things off their chest.

So what are your top 5 Pet Peeves?

OK so here we go...and man don't kill me if you read something you don't like here. These are all my opinions and dont involve anyone one person or persons.

5. Copybotters - Seriously people. Are you lacking that much creativity that you have to try and make a buck off someones creation. I mean its really annoying to go into a shop that you think is "new" and find that someone is trying to sell something that doesn't belong to them.  But what makes it worse is that they ACTUALLY believe its theirs and its coincidence that they have some thing that someone else made along time ago. Some people will go on and on about how they made the item when you know they didn't. Just annoys me.

4. Beggars -  We all have seen it. You are happy minding your own business and someone you don't even know IMs you and goes hey can you loan me some L's. OK. First...you don't know me. Second...you don't know me. Why would you ask me for some obscene amount of money if you don't know me? Do you see Bank of Livvy tattooed on my head? I don't. Now I understand those who are having issues in SL where you need 1L to make your money show. Sure OK I could maybe understand that. But do you really ask a complete stranger? If something like that happens to me I ask friends.  And don't get me started on the bots they have now...

3. Bling/Noob/Outdated stuff -  I personally giggle at all you people out there that come into a place with your bling on (shame on you if you are old in SL) You know those shoes from when SL first started. Or the big bright bling bling that the old necklaces use to have. REALLY...you don't look good. In fact. Kinda the laughing stock of SL. I read somewhere that SL should seriously get rid of the old and come to something new. PLEASE. For us veterans who have been here for years. Let me tell you that there are tons of new freebies out there that are way better! And there are stores that offer you if you are new 30 day and under peeps freebies to make you look amazing! You don't have to wear the SHY skins from back in the day that have that oil sheen to it...and the lips that are lined soo horrid. Yikes. Lindens should let designers put up a LM board or something on the newb landing points to offer New people to come check out their store, and get a gift or something...would seriously cut down on the noob looks.

2. Designers that Dont Try - As a blogger and avid shopper in SL. I love finding new things. What ticks me off is that "SOME" designers don't put effort into a item. They will buy a pattern, a mesh, a template, a skin, or model of something and not change it up to be who they are! I don't like going into stores and seeing that they bought something off someone like Meli Imako (a full perms creator in SL) and slap her texture on it and turn around and sell it for 400L or more. I totally understand that mesh is hard to make. This is why I don't create. But to my understanding there is a pattern to follow. To help you texture these things. Its called a little trial and error. A little hard work. Make that mesh or item your own. Just cause you use the base, and just because they include "example textures" don't make it yours to sell. I believe cause I have some of her items that if you buy the mesh you are not allowed to use the textures unless for your own personal self.

1. Liars, Fakes, and Wannabe's -  I don't understand. This is secondlife land of the fun. Well suppose to be land of the fun. And there are all kinds of people out there who lie to your face right from the moment you meet. It seems rather silly that you would do that. (unless you are in a character, which I would hope you would say in your profile). I just don't get it. And the fake people that lie and say they are something they are not. I would rather be friends and get to know someone for them. Not because they wanna be something more than they are. Which leads me to the wannabes/social climbers. Just because someone that made a name for themselves in SL is your friend. Isn't something for you to brag about. Don't use that person that worked hard to get where they are to try and boost your status. Because it makes you look lame. Don't copy them, don't act like them. Instead learn from how they got there...unless they are like drama inflicted then really you should just stay away haha.




 Bouncer Criss had a bonus...I want one too:
 BLOGGERs who give GOOD BLOGGERS bad reps: I know its totally cool that you wanna be a blogger. And you should blog what you like. And I don't mean to nitpick at this because we all have to start somewhere. But there are a few things about bloggers that annoy me that I hear constantly.  Pictures:  take some tutorials before you just slap a pic up. Put some creative thought into it. Learn a few tricks, its really simple. I know I am not the queen of pictures. I am still learning but I truly believe that my quality is good enough or I wouldn't blog for the designer that allow me to.
Here are a couple of sites I use alot!
http://strawberrysingh.com/tutorials/   (yes Strawberry Singh is a inspiration to me)
http://slbloggersupport.wordpress.com/tutorials/photoshop/    (good stuff here, really simple)

Second part of this Bloggers that don't try rant... Don't blog just to get freebies. I hate this and I am not a designer. Because most bloggers out there are blogging for the fun of it. Kinda like therapy. Sure there are groups looking for bloggers. Designers that are looking too. But they aren't looking for you to run to them and be like hey can I have this. I have heard this a few times. They ask for items and don't even blog. So disappointing. I don't know about the rest of you bloggers and readers. But if someone is claiming to be a blogger and not living up to it. It will ruin it for the rest of us. I see it lately in a designers profile not looking for bloggers because honestly, some people are just greedy.
