Suke's Places To Visit In Second Life For A New Perspective On Real Life...

Teleport to The Abyss @ Blekinge Sculpture Parkand see the ‘Night Time Lights of the World’... from outer space! It looks beautiful...

To get this vantage point (without NASA training) go to The Abyss where you will see a large globe, click on the cone below it and you will find yourself teleported for an out of earth experience!

Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."

Last night somebody broke into my apartment and replaced everything with exact duplicates... When I pointed it out to my roommate, he said, 'Do I know you?'

AFK = As Far (as I am) Koncerned

Time to say hello to Switzerland, its lakes, its mountains, its Swiss (you will never find Swiss like that in another part of the world), its watches, its money and its beautiful city of Basel.

My blog is bound to autodestruction after two days of inactivity and therefore I would be really gratefull if my dear contributors could post some lines.

To my cheerful readers, two comments are worth an article, so please feel free to sing like a canary.


AFK (look at the title) I am back on next Friday, with limited access to my e-mails and, above all, impossibility to go in-world.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.

Cyberkiller Venus

Inquiry in Second Life

I go into ecstasies every time I see the naked figure of a woman, such as Venus, for example. It strikes me as so wonderful and exquisite that I have difficulty in stopping the tears rolling down my cheeks.

Nightmare in the cave of the naughty worms

On Wednesday night I have been trying to upload the images for two hours, nothing...grrrrr...

I am in Poland on business trip on Thursday and Friday, I will try again this weekend.

Blogger is painful now, but it seems that SL is not in better shape...

OK, I go to bed, nothing more to do now.

***************************************************************************

Now it's Saturday morning 00:19 AM, I have just arrived from my trip with more than three hours of delay because I missed the transfer in Munchen...

I want to see if I can upload my images, phew, it works!

I have finished to upload the 14 picks at 1:49AM.

Anne, I hope you enjoyed the text without the images, now try the images without the text and next time you blend the whole stuff.

Last night I had a dream.

Well, a dream...

After my adventures in the castle of Elven Valley with my friend San (another day I will tell you) I thought I was finished with the funny side of Second Life, but you know what, we can never be finished with the funny side of Second Life...

I directly jumped from the dark place where I was wandering around to the mouth (can we name that a mouth...?) of something that I would call a worm, but of course you are free to call it the name you fancy, a mollusk, a termite, a republican senator, whatever you want, anyway it was an inhospitable host who didn't send me any invitation to any party.

As I seemed to be content with my situation (maybe winces of pain are comprehended here as great satisfaction...) my introductory greeter sent me to a friend he had in this place.

Since I was still enjoying the moment with my harrowing attitude, I was handed over to another strange bug hanging down from the ceiling.

Another animal (did I say animal...?) put on my face sort of oxygen mask, I was perhaps dreaming in a plane that was crashing down to earth...

I think that one creature had mercy upon me and tried to feed me with its tentacle.

Yuk-yuk!

Not my cup of tea.

Another one attempted to do with me things that the moral virtue usually condemns.

But I must admit that for a brief second my discomfort was alleviated.

A (too) short while further I was aspirated in a kind of slimy spring that obviously wanted to show me its pleasant profoundness.

I also experimented the washing machine of the locality.

Some fresh water all over the face is really invigorating.

The oven was quite inadvisable and I didn't really appreciate the visit.

Hopefully, Alysa came to my rescue, like the cavalry, with her weird but efficient weapons.

The beasts were defeated and they disbanded.

Poor Alysa! She didn't know she had entered a den.

We both actually realized when we were outside.

And we finished the journey shooting the breeze in the mall of my friend Chill3, where you can live the same enthralling experience in the Breeding Lab.

Alysa: i'm going to kill you

You: lol

You: you don't like the mazes?

Alysa: noooooo

You: /kiss alysa

!MultiTool-Hello-v5 - Hug/kiss/goto/etc (right forearm): You have offered to kiss Alysa.

Alysa: i dont like confined spaces

!MultiTool-Hello-v5 - Hug/kiss/goto/etc (right forearm): Alysa has declined your kiss.

You: come here in my arms

You: /kiss alysa

!MultiTool-Hello-v5 - Hug/kiss/goto/etc (right forearm): You have offered to kiss Alysa.

Sofian gives Alysa a big kiss.

You: feel better?

Alysa: no

You: you don't like this kind of place?

You: are you still alive?

Alysa: no its weird

Alysa: lol

Alysa: sry checkin my food

etc.

That's all folks.

I see the dream and I see the nightmare, and I believe you can't have the dream without the nightmare.

Second life fairytale

Is it possible to live a fairytale in our second life? Oh yes I think it is, because here our imagination is unlimited and all of our dreams can become true, even the crazy dreams that we had when we were little girls. My favourite fairytale as a child was Cinderella and because of a strange virtual coincidence this is the fairytale that I lived in my second life.


So this is the story.

Once upon a time, when I was still a newbie I have been invited to a masquerade ball. For one week I was looking every in-world store to find the best outfit, the best hair and it was really excited for me when I arrived. Being a European girl I had to stay awake late in order to attend the ball and actually it was dawn at that time. Already dawn is a magical hour so the virtual fairytale begins.






When our virtual Cinderella entered the ballroom at the palace, a hush fell. Everyone stopped in mid-sentence to admire her elegance, her beauty and grace. "Who can that be? » people asked each other “She must be for sure a foreign princess”. When the prince set eyes on her, he was struck by her beauty. Walking over to her, he bowed deeply and asked her to dance.



What happened next?



Here in second life we write our own stories and of course the end can be different than “they lived happily ever after”, but what is more important? To live a fairytale or not to live it at all.





And I finish my story with the quote of Alfred Lord Tennyson
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
