Kami-no-aisuru

so… I have wall squirrels. maybe not “squirrels” per se, but some little rodenty, scratchy thing…inside my wall. and it wakes me up, it must be dealt with. yes, I live in the heart of BFE, and I like the country thing- most of the time, but it’s this kind of backwoods BS I can do without. and it drives the cat nuts.

could be a raccoon.

SL Bloggers - Where do you go to shop when you just need some retail therapy? Do you suffer from buyers remorse later? What is the most expensive thing in your inventory?

I do a lot of shopping in SL. I guess I’d have to say that I like a shopping sim with a little something extra. like Silent or Harajukubox Town. Lately I’ve been to Juicy quite a few times, that sim is coming along nicely, and I seem to end up in Osaka (maybe because I use the ATM there). The most expensive thing are two, tied at $750 each. One is a gown by Chambre du Chocolat (the huge one) and the other is a gown that’s also a car. it’s got a personalized plate!

RL Bloggers - Besides your car or house, what’s the most expensive luxury item that you have? Did you buy it just to have it, or do you actually use it?

Probably this computer here, as I had it custom built for me. You’d think it would work better. Maybe a diamond ring that was my grandmother’s but I’m not sure that counts as I didn’t buy it but inheirited it. (TMI aside note, I don’t believe in buying diamonds or supporting the diamond trade and would never buy one for myself or have one bought for me–remember that any doods who feel like proposing). Use the computer every day, wear the ring when I’m feeling fancy.

NOT QUITE TUESDAY TWOFER!!! OMGWTFBBQLOLCATS!!
SL Bloggers - How hard do you think it is to find a relationship in SL? Where are people meeting each other?

Don’t really know since I haven’t had one and I’m not really looking to. I’m not not looking to, you never know what might happen, but at present I’m happy just building stuff, buying stuff, messing about on my land & having fun. the thought of jumping on a poseball of that nature just makes me lol and lol.

RL Bloggers - Would you start a relationship with someone you met online?

Done and done. It was kind of a thrill for awhile, but ultimately didn’t work out in my favor. I probably would give it another shot though, I know people that it’s worked out for. BUT I’m not entirely sure I’m a romantic relationship person-in person or online, I can’t ever seem to get it right and usually it blows up in my face & everyone gets hurt/sad/angry whatever. I just think some people are made more for aloneness.

so Alicia issued this challenge to get slackers like myself to update their “blogs” more GAWD how I hate that word and I’m not so fond of the proto culture that has sprung up around it. I’d much rather consider myself a journal-ist or a diarist. BLOGGER. horrible word as subtle as a bull in a china shop. at least call me a BLAHger or something. truth is that I’ve been puttering aroundt these internets since they became open for puttering, I kind of got most of it out of my system already. My personality is not so outgoing and bubbly and if I write about the nonsense that happens to me on a daily basis I think it just looks weird and feels pointless. So yes I overthink stuff that I’m going to write and thats why I post pictures because they’re easy and because I’m cute. ANYWAY what she had to say was probably meant for a lot of people who shout be putting themselves out there more but it hit me right at home, yo.

I do a LOT of keeping my mouth closed and my ears & eyes open in more public situations. Both in RL and SL if its a crowd at a club, a small group of friends, a forum full of relative strangers. So I probably come off a little cold & distant, sorry about that. I’m not unfriendly, and I’m not creepy.

SO I’m currently standing bare ass naked in my glorious skybox of changingness and thought I’d fire off some thoughts with minimal imagery. YES I stole the Oh Hai idea from QueenKellee and I already fessed up.

I’ve been spending a lot of time inworld, I’m spending way too much money, even if its practically imaginary. I’ve gotten kind of hooked on the more designer experience, Shiny Things, Paper Couture, so far I’ve mostly avoided Armidi because what they want for a shirt is recockulous. But I have some hair from there and its fab. I’m building stuff but I never seem to be particularly happy with the results.

Some stuff happened in the Free Style group earlier that upset me because a couple weeks back there was a free pair of boots in this location, along the back wall of said location was a pair of shoes for $10L and I informed everyone and their mama about it. I guess that price was a mistake… and now people are asked to be careful and inform the owner/creator and ask if that’s right? WTF because people (like say <3 Cupcakes just recently) decide to have a “secret” sale where the bargains are just mixed in with the regular priced stuff. I thought thats what it was & I’m NOT SORRY for informing people about it.

oh well. so the question of the day “Why did you decide to start blogging about your Second Life?” I added this “blog” GAH when I bought the Kami-no-Aisuru domain and thought i’d use it periodically. it just so happens that right after that is when I started in SL and that kind of took my world over… to be honest I don’t do much IRL and even less now that I’m unemployed. I’ve always been kind of a homebody anyway. If you know the term hikikkomori you know what I’m talking about. I would probably be a shut in if I didn’t have to do things. I’m not socially inclined, and with all of the Asperger’s talk going around these days I’ve been wondering if I don’t have a mild case. I have the ABILITY to be social just not the INCLINATION.

As for the story of the site name (and by extension my SL name) I’ve been meaning to write about that. I’ve been studying Japanese for about a year (could be going better but I have only my own laziness to blame) and its a rough translation of my RL name. don’t really care who knows it so Josephine = God’s beloved in Hebrew (fem.) and Kami=God, Aisuru=beloved. I thought it would be fun & different and had a hard time coming up with a personal domain name. so thats why in SL i’m both Aisuru (usually) and Kamino (alt). the more you know *ting*
