Traveling Artisan

I had some pics taken today.


It was at a place called Traveling Artisan. I met with Daron Brandeis and his partner Fallon Maertens. This was one of the places that I discovered when on the Gorean Grid Wide Hunt. He has an artist's eye, and on a personal note, I really liked both Daron and Fallon!

What do you think?

Gorean Grid Wide Hunt ends...

Well , today was the last day of the Gorean Grid Wide Hunt. What great fun it was!

I searched high and low for the hearts with the quiva through them. (Barely a stone ,or should I say homestone?) was left unturned.
The group was a great help and I just want to thank those that put it together and those that participated for a totally fun experience! I made new friends and met some interesting people along the way that I would like to get to know better!

I have some new favorite places to add to my list. I will not mention them yet, but I shall let you know about them very soon!

I am looking forward to the next hunt...something about a Looking Glass? How can I resist?

Drama, drama and then ...more drama?

So here I am, back in world. There were various reasons for my being gone, but suffice it to say that I am happy to have returned! I sometimes forget about the drama in sl and what drama it is!

That being said, I just want to say this as well. If I go to a sim, paid for, supported by, built by, and maintained by someone, I do so at his/her whim. Not because I have a divine right to be there.

If I have in some way displeased or upset the person that owns that sim, then why in the world would I wish to stay? I just do not understand, perhaps someone would enlighten me?

I, for one, would not wish to stay where I am not wanted. Now I realize that that is unlikely to happen, but no matter how remote the possibility, no matter how charming and delightful I might think that I am. It is possible.

Tantrums, performed by vindictive, petty people... no matter how justified they feel that they are, are still that, the screaming demonstrations of frustration, hurt, and pain of an emotionally immature individual.

My advice? Grow up, leave, and move on with your life.
You will have much more fun that way and so will everyone else!

Missing you...

It has been a very busy time in my real life, and what I have found bizarre is the number of dreams that have invaded my sleep from my second life...as well as the nature of those dreams. I have not had the chance to be here, consciously, so something took me to sl in my dreams.

  I have not met a person here on sl that does not say rl comes first.  Does this negate the need that we have for the interactions that we have here on sl? I think not.  Nor does it keep us from missing the people that are here.

While away, I sent an e-mail to the only person that I thought would miss me here.  When I did not hear back, after a couple of e-mails, I stopped sending them.  Perhaps, we invest too much emotionally in our sl relationships.  But there it is.

Who's a needy fairy?

I am the person that I am, I have a very busy rl at times.  Other times I have more time to get on-line.  Exploring on sl is what I try to do with much of that time.  At the time I started this venture I did not expect relationships that would garner so much of my attention. Being independant is important to me. But it seems to come at a price. Right now, though I struggle with that, it is well worth it.

Respect is the best foundation for all relationships whether or not they are D/s. We love who we love in all worlds. If they love us back or how they love us back is their own business. I respect those I love, and i realize and accept that we all relate differently. My only hope is that those I love will allow the same for me.

Gorean Grid Wide Hunt!

I spent some time last night following the Gorean hunt. Had stumbled upon it while shopping and decided to start at the beginning and follow the path where it led me. OK, once again I am astounded by the creativity of the people on sl!



I am only about a third of the way through, and I was lucky enough to hook up with a couple of other hunters... the more eyes the better, I always say! My favorite, so far has been a place that makes musical instruments! If you have the time, join in the fun!Hope I see you there!

On a side note:
Actually, I had started this hunt after running through the lag(insert a chuckle about the word running, here) at Twisted and Spoiled, for their hunt. Such cute things in that store! However the patrons had to strip themselved of any HUDs, prim objects (including some hair), and even tossed AOs so that they could actually move. What we women will do for a bargain! (I flatly refuse to lose the AO, myself)

These are my very first hunts, and I had fun! Have not opened any boxes yet, so not sure if it is worth the effort, but I did get to see some stores and some merchandise I did not know existed, so I think that the point is made. Try it sometime!

Both Sides of the Looking Glass

By chance, I was lucky enough to attend a talk lead by Havelock Raymaker, a RL Dominant and tutor for the organizers, the D/s Academy. The discussion was held partially in voice and partially in text, at first I had a few glitches, but after that was worked out I have to say that I was impressed by the speaker and the others attending. The topic? Is there such a thing as abuse in SL and if so what forms do you think it takes ?

The discussion reminded me of so many that I have been to in rl. I found the participants thoughtful, and reasonable. The original topic soon turned toward the responsibility of both parties in a D/s relationship. The care that is taken to keep the trust of the submissive from becoming abusive. The key being communication.

The talk was over far too soon! I am happy to have stumbled upon the meeting and hope to attend more in the future!
