BBBC Final

What did you get out of your experience? Do you think it will change the way you blog in the future?

Okay, okay, I am a day late! But yesterday was super busy and full of things like Rocky Horror and sleep and working and ya know. Hehe.

So, I got to meet some cool new people, and that was fun. I got to tell Katat0nik how awesome I think she is, also fun. I did blog (almost) every day, which was new for me.

Will it change the future of my blog? Perhaps. Maybe it brought me some readers. Then again... maybe not. =P

If there is one again next year, I will definitely participate!

Oh, and here is my Eddie costume from last night. Not quite as detailed as I'd hoped, but pretty good! Had a blast. =)

BBBC #5

Blogger's Choice! Write about anything you want!

Meh. meh meh meh! That's how I feel today!

I don't much feel like writing but I am not going to let the BBBC down!

Most prominent on my mind as I tool around SL.... I really, really, REALLY hate the new radial menu lay out. Every time I go to take off clothing or an attachment I find myself going into edit appearance mode. It is SOOOOO annoying.

I do admit that it's nice being able to access the regular menu items even from a prim attachment, however, why did the layout have to change?! CRY! CRY CRY!

Tomorrow I am going to watch Rocky Horror with a bunch of friends and we are all dressing up. I guarantee no one will recognize me. SO excited!

But for now, I am meh. Not wanting to go to work tonight, meh and more meh. + extra meh.

hrmph.

BBBC #3

"You've been given a sim of your very own to use for free for one year. However, there are 3 rules. It cannot be residential, it cannot be commercial, and it has to be open to the public. What do you do with it?"

Ooooooooooo!

Ok, the first thing I would do is find all the giant kitty and bunny statues with sit animations in them, and then I would place them all around like they were frolicking happily as cute fluffy baby things do.

Then around them I would design a beautiful field (low lag, of course) with flowers and butterflies and cute lil birdies.

Then I would have little prizes hidden in the field in things like eggs or mushrooms - these would be rare and as well hidden as possible, so only the extra curious could find them. The prizes could be anything from Lindens to Shoes to a Kitty or Bunny chair of your very own.

I would have a choice of a bunch of different music streams that visitors could adjust themselves.

I would have tons and tons of animations stuck into random things so people could take lots of cute pictures.

Some nights we would show movies or episodes of Buffy - all free of charge of course.

This would be called "The Happy Place" and everyone who came would be. :D I hope so anyway, it would make me happy!

Like this, but times a thousand and with more kitten.

BBBC #2

"Describe what your perfect Second Life day would be like."

I would wake up and login to new items from all of my favorite designers. Everything would cost zero Lindens for the buyer but the designer would still get full profit. (Hey, the economy is irrelevant in fantasy land!)

All the sims would be lag free and everyone would rez fully within 10 seconds of landing.

My friends would all be logged in at the same time (even the ones who have poofed!) and would all get along and have a great big party together.

My special other half in SL would magically appear one day, and we would know it was true SLove immediately - but would take it appropriately slowly. ^_~

People who had bitter fights about stupid things and drama would find the courage to say I was wrong, I'm sorry.

Possibly we'd all stand around singing kumbaya or something. =P

BBBC '09 Kickoff

"How long have you been a blogger?
How has it enriched your life?"

Wow, that's quite a question for someone who had just started her blog last weekend! My time as a blogger has been short. I've tried it in the past and never made it beyond one or three posts because I started to feel self conscious or silly. I finally decided that since everyone who's anyone in SL (=P) has a blog, I could have one too!

It's been a lot of fun so far. I feel cozy with posting things, talking about SL a little, or whatever... my volume of posts is pretty small so far and mostly about clothes! That's because I love, love, love clothes on the grid - they are so fun, they can do things RL clothes can't, anything can fit anyone with a little effort and you don't have to try them on in grody little fitting rooms!

As far as enriching my life - well blogging hasn't done it yet, but I am hoping it will enrich my future. Give more depth to my second life, give more incentive to try new things and meet new people. Maybe someone out there like me will read my blog some day, and think "hey, me too!" in that super special way that means a connection is being made. And this challenge is a great way to spark my inner writer into posting.

I've been reading blogs about SL since before I played it, and they have been a huge influence on the direction (or lack of!) that my second life has taken. Instead of just being an observer, I want to become part of that community, see how it is from the inside and possibly move some small influence of my own out there. *Jedi Mind Trick* Muahaha! No really though, not like that, not at all...

Good luck everyone and welcome to the Big Bad Blogger Challenge 2009! :D



PS, anyone else notice how my av looks totally wacked out when smiling? I think I'll leave the fancy emote poses to the pros from now on...
