Where I come from

“Where I come from
Nobody knows;
And where I'm going
Everything goes.
The wind blows,
The sea flows -
And nobody knows.”
― Robert Nathan, Portrait of Jennie

Paradise

Of course I'm wearing SPF 5000.



When people say to go to your happy place, I often imagine myself sitting on the beach, under an umbrella, sipping a drink in a coconut with a little mini umbrella while the sound of the waves splash in front of me.  I close my eyes and I can feel the warm breeze and smell the ocean.  I have sand between my toes, and all my worries and stresses float away.

A Shame

I went on vacation in June and missed nearly all the events!  But, I did get to see four national parks during the road trip of a lifetime.  I will never forget the beauty of the Wyoming sky on a cloudless night.

The Path

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Late

Isabella was running late. She didn't have time to accept all the compliments on her cute outfit, or her gorgeous figure, or her lovely hair. But when someone mentioned her tattoo, she fell in love.

Foggy

Gray Fog

A FOG drifts in, the heavy laden
Cold white ghost of the sea—
One by one the hills go out,
The road and the pepper-tree.
I watch the fog float in at the window
With the whole world gone blind,
Everything, even my longing, drowses,
Even the thoughts in my mind.
I put my head on my hands before me,
There is nothing left to be done or said,
There is nothing to hope for, I am tired,
And heavy as the dead.
                               ~ Sara Teasdale

Digits 2015

Strawberry Singh asks how the mesh body revolution has affected our shapes in SL.  Comparing my digits from 2012 to today...not much.



My arms got a little longer, my hips a little narrower, and I'm a bit shorter, but otherwise, my digits are the same - pretty much a standard size M in SL (for comparison, my 2012 digits).  Without shoes, my av is about 6' tall, which seems to be on the short end in comparison to other avatars.

Do you currently own a mesh body? If so, do you wear it all the time or just once in a while?

I own mesh body demos, and they are all very nice, but I feel like since I'm fairly modest in my dress in SL, I don't really need to have a mesh body, and I'm really confused by all the appliers and which clothes fit which body.  I just wear the hands and feet.

How do you feel about mesh bodies in general? 

They're lovely but expensive.

What is one thing you would request from designers when it comes to mesh bodies? 

I guess I don't really have requests for designers.  Mostly, I question why, if designers can create a nice mesh avatar, why can't SL?  It would be nice if, maybe, SL were to hire the people that have created these bodies and have them work together to create a wonderful, new, high quality avatar mesh that is compatible with current system layers with one applier system.  That would be my dream.

Last One

She kept looking, hoping to find another survivor.  She only wanted to hear the sound of another's voice, to feel the sensation of touch on her skin.  So she searched, and she searched, and she searched, and found nothing.  Not even the chirping of a bird or the scurring of a mouse.



Surely, there must be someone else out there.  How is it possible that she is the only survivor?  She can't be alone.



She just can't be.
