Day 326 – Parents’ Night!

Tonight was Parents’ Night at Camp Hardknock!! Oh, it was so good to see my girl again! And we were lucky that Aldwyn was able to join us, too! He doesn’t always get to join us for anything that’s earlier in the evening because of his schedule, but he definitely wanted to be there to see Abby and have fun.

It was SUPER laggy for me, so my sister Lolita was nice enough to take pictures and make some gifs for us!

After Abby had a sweet dedication read to us and one of “our” songs played, she wanted to show us around camp. We got to see her cabin, meet some of her cabinmates and other camp friends, and she even took us down into the super secret room at camp. We had to walk a long long way to get there, and take flashlights, too! It’s so secret, I couldn’t even take pictures!

We also went sledding and oh my GOSH, I wish I had gotten more than one little screencap because it was hysterical! I had tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard! We chose the family sit on the sled and we didn’t know we were supposed to jump off when we got to a certain point. Abby did, but we just kept on sliding! Eventually, Aldwyn and I crashed into a wall and Abby ran to find us. I got up but he didn’t, and then the sled just kept on going! It was trying to get back to the starting point! Aldwyn got stuck in a crevice and I ran to push him out. And oh yes, HE got out, but when I ran to push, I fell down and Abby tumbled after me and we got stuck in a rock! She managed to teleport us back to the starting point and who should we see coming over the hill in the crazy possessed sled? Aldwyn! OMG, I couldn’t stop laughing! It was awesome!

But just as we somehow all made it back to the start, the sim crashed. It was okay, though, because they were sending all the parents home anyway and the kids were getting ready for tuck in. So we had a few minutes to say goodbye to Abby, and then we headed on home.

I think it was really awesome that we got to hang out together, and I think it’ll be enough to get us through the next few days. She only has 3 more full days at camp, and then she’ll be home!

After we got home, we headed to a landscaping store because I’m determined to do more landscaping than just having 42380 trees around. But ol’ Daddy Z was exhausted from his wild sled ride, so he went to bed in the middle of our browsing. I can’t really do anything until we get our new house, anyway, so there’s still a lot more stuff to look at.

I hope everyone had as nice of a day as I did!

Day 257 – It Started With A Pie

It started with a pie.

Yesterday, Rylan stopped over because where she lives was being restarted. Of course, being Rylan, she didn’t wear pants as she burst into the house. But we’re used to her, so whatever. She decided for my birthday, she’d make me a pie. And for, you know, breaking and entering into our house. Pantsless.

Lexi decided to send me a birthday cake. It was a nice cake, all pretty and colorful. I set it out on the kitchen counter so we could have cake later.

But Rylan didn’t like that the cake Lexi sent me was bigger than the pie she made. So while we slept, she broke into the house again [I really should just give her a key] and she made me ANOTHER cake. It’s a big cake, with lots of flowers trailing down the sides. It’s quite lovely! And it’s bigger than the cake Lexi sent, which was her intention.

However, Lexi wasn’t about to be one upped by this cake. Ohhh no! She baked YET ANOTHER cake for me. It’s huge and has stars and she got kind of messy making it. I wasn’t even sure if it would fit on the counter without touching the ceiling!

If you’re keeping track, I now have one pie and three ENORMOUS cakes in my kitchen.

Then Willow broke my house with her gigantic cake that is so huge, it burst through the ceiling into the 2nd floor of the house.

So now I have a hole in the ceiling, one pie, four cakes, and probably diabetes if I attempt to eat all of these baked goods.

I love my friends.

Day 117 – Will there be probes?

So I was attempting to find a pretty pose and a pretty windlight setting for today’s picture. I snapped a few and then went into photoshop. But then? I started laughing. A LOT.

Can you see it? Through the trees behind me?

There’s a spaceship on Bluebonnet. I don’t know… I just don’t know.

Day 114 – The Best Yard!

My friend Emerald is pretty awesome. She’s bright, witty, and the kind of writer I’d like to be one day. She’s also one of the original Bluebonnet residents and has been on the island with me pretty much since I took it over. But the BEST part of being Em’s friend and neighbor?

She totally has the BEST YARD.

I have absolutely NO idea where she finds half of the things that end up in her yard, but I’m glad she does, because it’s so much fun to look at!!

Day 52 – Webcams and Pimps

Fun night tonight! Unfortunately, I couldn’t get pics of the most fun part of the evening because I attempt to keep this blog safe for work viewing, and it involved some pretty graphic scenes since a bunch of us went to Webcam Wednesday at a dirty sim. As much as we were laughing and snarking on the people, we agreed that they had MUCH more courage than us because we’d never have the guts to get on webcam in a public place and show off the way these folks did. Of course, a couple of them should have maybe thought about taking better care of their skin before getting on webcam, but that’s just my thought.

Since the Festival of Sin closes on Sunday and I hadn’t been yet, we gathered over there for a bit. There was a guy dressed like a “pimp” just kind of standing in front of Ruby’s store. So naturally I had to go and dance behind him because that’s what I do.

It took him like 4 tries, but finally he got out what he wanted to say.

“get lost kid”

Indeed! I told him I wasn’t a kid and he said he was thinking about buying the sim, or “hellhole,” as he put it. Ruby hopped over to ask him about it [we knew he didn’t plan on buying the sim as it appeared that he could not even afford real shoes] and I talked to a guy who had prim pubes. Well, not that it was much of a conversation. All I got out of it was that he’s from San Antonio. Then he wandered off. Guess the correct reply to “What are you into?” is not “Hanging out and having fun.” Oh well. No new friend for me.

But going back to the “pimp” for a moment – Okay, so maybe some of you who are newer to SL can enlighten me. You guys start out with stuff. Shoes, clothes, hair, etc. And while it’s not all perfect stuff, most of it is pretty decent. So why is it that a lot of new residents end up basically wearing junk? You know what shoes look like. Why walk around in basically just a shoe base? Or in a skin that doesn’t look even half as nice as one from your Library? I don’t understand. Fill me in!!

Guilt Trip

So Aldwyn’s been pretty busy the past couple of weeks. He has 3 jobs because that’s how many it takes to take care of me. LOL! Just kidding, just kidding. Poor guy has to fight just to ever get me a gift. But he does have 3 jobs and with the end of the year coming up, things have been pretty hectic for him.

Of course, I go in phases of needing time alone and needing constant attention. This works out well for us sometimes because when he’s busy, I entertain myself with no problems. But unfortunately, I’m in one of those attention needing phases, and this whole thing with him working so much sucks for me. So while trying on some stuff I hadn’t gotten around to unboxing yet, I thought, “Oh my God! This skin! I know what to do! I’m going to take a picture and use it as a guilt trip! Because I’m TOTALLY CRYING HERE.”

Do I not look like the saddest girl in the whole wide world??

All was well and good until I got up. Then my guilt trip was just more amusing than anything else because you see, to get the shot that I wanted, I had to mod my hair a bit. And once I got up and saw myself…

It was nothing but flat out funny!

At least I found a way to entertain myself for an hour tonight.

But I’m still not down with him not being here when I want.

Big Pimpin’

What a very fun night!

Not that we did anything super amazing. We didn’t even leave the living room, actually. But let me back up a bit.

Hi! Are you a single guy in SL? Do you have a decent looking avatar? Do you know how to hold a conversation in chat and/or voice? Are you looking for more than someone to just hop on a sexytimes poseball with? Are you nice but you enjoy a bit of snark sometimes? Do you NOT have a vagina in the real world? Are you not a whiny bitch submissive? Well, then have I got the girl for you!

I’m pimping my former wife out for a holidays boyfriend! She’s hot, right?

LMFAO! Okay okay, the morph is a joke. I promise she’s not running around thinking morphs are perfectly acceptable. If you think morphs are fine, then you are not the right guy!!

Ulaa is actually super pretty. See?

Anyway, I’m looking for a holidays man for her! She’s super funny, she’s a much better conversationalist than I am, she builds great houses, and she won’t be all greedy grabby expecting you to fund her entire SLife. PLUS you get to hang out with Al and me, too! It’s like getting instant friends!

I’d say she would hit me for this, but I already plurked it. So you know. No surprises! :-p

She’d come over tonight so I could grab a few face shots to do that morph with. We invited Pumpkin to come hang out with us, too, since she told me she was out in the snow with no shoes and that’s just NOT a place a Latina should be! This is the first time we’ve hung out in a couple of years since we only recently started chatting again. It was the first time we’d ever really had people in the house, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it! I spend so much time in SL by myself when Al is out working and Ulaa is up on her platform building, I forget how to be social. But we had a great time talking, laughing, and doing the crazy drunk dance.

It’s time for bed for me now. 🙂

Wedding Pics!

I almost expected to have that “day after Christmas” feeling today. You know, when you feel kind of down because all the big festivities are over? But I totally don’t! In fact, I think I may be just as happy as I was yesterday, if not even a little more so. I just feel good. 🙂

I have a few pictures to share! If you want to see more, we have a Flickr Group here.

Me right after putting my dress on. Hey, you try getting that huge skirt on by yourself and see how tired you feel!

Our beautiful reception gazebo that Ulaa made for us. It’s so seriously amazing!! I think she’s going to sell it later but for now, it’s still just mine. 😀

Our first official dance as husband and wife. 🙂 We danced to “Dance With Me” by Orleans. Yep, Aldwyn picked it. He’s old school. 🙂

My maid of honor eating some of our delicious cake. And our DJ, getting ready to play cake plate frisbee. LOL!

In the middle of the reception, Ulaa’s little one decided he’d had quite enough of the gazebo. I laughed so hard!!! I swear, I’m going to send him a present for making me laugh until I had tears in my eyes.

LUCKILY, Ulaa had told me to leave the rez box out when we had first put the gazebo down, so it was easy enough [once we plowed through the grass] and the gazebo popped back up. But when we did that, we caught some of the guests! MINE NOW!

Just kidding, I gave them back.

And one more of us dancing. 🙂

Best day everrrr!!!

But I can’t WAIT for us to start tearing down things and moving into our new house!!! That will come in time. Technically, we’re still on the honeymoon! 🙂

It was a blingtastic time!

We had our Old SLchool party last night. Check out how HOT I was!!

I fucked up the picture though. I had my antialiasing turned ON. :-p

It was a REALLY fun party!! We chatted and laughed and played sploder. Evie was the biggest winner of all of us, I think, but she does dirty things to sploders when no one is looking. Check out a few pics!!

People doing super old dances.

Ulaa being cochina on the pole.

Aisuru on the pole!

Lexi totally forgot how to use a lucky chair.

Aldwyn had to go AFK. This pic came out really well considering I was lagging and dancing and stuff. LOL

More dancing!

I really really need to have parties more often! I love hanging out with my friends and so often we don’t because we just talk on plurk and forget about hanging out together in world. And plurk is cool and all, but nothing takes the place of actually being together. 🙂

Old SLchool, baby!

Hey…hey buddy. WAKE UP. Don’t you know there’s a party tonight?!

A few weeks ago on plurk, I mentioned that I wanted to throw an old SLchool party. People could bust out their old old skins and their bling, and we’d party it up in a “club” with a sploder and all that. Most of us don’t go out to clubs in SL anymore, preferring the company of just friends and family and our own lands. But how are we supposed to get to know people if we don’t get out?? Not that going to an SL club now would probably work, but you know what I mean. 🙂

So luckily for me, my Aldwyn was a hoarder on his first account, and had many many things I needed for the party place. I had some stuff – the club build, particles, old dances. But he had the other good stuff – like the old school sploder, old couples dances still inside poseballs [my couples dances are in the intan and most are fairly recent], and dance poles. Because seriously? It’s not a party without dance poles.

We needed outfits, though, so we headed over to Freebies Dungeon. If you want to see ACTUAL NEWBIES, not just people alting, go there!

The moment we landed someone asked if they could bite me.

[2011/08/02 20:58] Bloodlines Lycan Claw 1.2: Faithes Resident has offered you the power of a Lycan warrior. This will register you with The Bloodlines system, and you’ll get a FREE Lycan wound attachment. Say Yes to accept!

[2011/08/02 20:58] Alicia Chenaux: Not bloody likely, asshole.

Then, of course, some girl got all up on Aldwyn.

She IMed him first and he told her “Greetings.” She basically acted like she’d never heard that before and said only gentlemen say greetings. Then she had the good sense to read my profile and lit on out of there. I could have certainly taken her in an ass kicking contest. She didn’t have any feet.

SO. Dig those old skins that you couldn’t throw away out of their boxes, dust off your old shoes that made your feet look like pancakes, and come join us tonight at 8pm SLT for an Old SLchool good time!! If you have lag issues, you might need to turn particles off, but hey, that’s pretty old SLchool, too!
