Have you ever been walking along, minding your own business, innocently looking at your phone or talking to a friend, and then... WHAM. Smack-dab into the coffee shop door. Now the barista is giving you the stink eye from behind the counter, there's a clear imprint of your face on the glass, and you find… Continue reading 139. Re-examining your (S)Life Choices (or: that time I got stuck in a wall at my favorite shopping event) …
138. Balance is harder to find than you might expect, and even harder to maintain…
If you're one of those people who finds it super easy to admit when they need help, I commend you. This sounds like an easy concept, but it's not as easy for some of us to execute. It's difficult to balance the need for one's independence with the idea that sometimes, you have to throw… Continue reading 138. Balance is harder to find than you might expect, and even harder to maintain…
137. Sometimes when it’s broke, you can’t fix it…
Some people need to learn when to say no. Me, actually. I'm one of those people. Lately... and most of the time, if I'm completely honest, I'm burning the candle at both ends. Real life, Second Life... doesn't matter. I think that little switch in my brain - the one that tells me to sit… Continue reading 137. Sometimes when it’s broke, you can’t fix it…
136. Consult your pharmacist for information on possible side-effects… (or just be a little nicer to people)
Second Life has offered benefits to so many of us over the years in ways that would be hard to quantify here... but it's also developed a sickness. Maybe this is something that Second Life always had. I'm not so sure, but it's definitely been growing, because like the Audrey plant in Little Shop of… Continue reading 136. Consult your pharmacist for information on possible side-effects… (or just be a little nicer to people)
135. Is it just my viewer, or is your butt floating two feet above your head?
And...a new chapter of sorts begins. I was going to wait until the end of 2020, but as it approaches its 37th month and the days now seem to be 32 hours long instead of 24, I figured now is a better time than any. If I wait until the end of the year, I… Continue reading 135. Is it just my viewer, or is your butt floating two feet above your head?
134. How to… get through the negativity.
I absolutely love this photo and I'm not even sure why. I just do. Anyway, that's not what we're going to talk about today. The last couple weeks have been rough. Y'all know that if you've been reading along I suppose, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that things have… Continue reading 134. How to… get through the negativity.
133. How to… embrace the darkness.
Okay, so I feel like I have not gotten myself properly excited. It's October, y'all. That means: Birthday month! (I take birthday praise in the form of high fives and other such positive nods to my own personal awesomeness) And also... Halloween! It's time for the creepy, the macabre, the scary, the fabulous! This is… Continue reading 133. How to… embrace the darkness.
132. How to… save yourself.
So, me and my brothers are close. Not like, see each other every weekend close, but we've always got each others' backs, and always have. We play video games together, we talk on occasion... not much, though. Neither one of my younger brothers are much for picking up the phone. Last night, I went to… Continue reading 132. How to… save yourself.
131. How to… take a risk.
Why yes, there is a bit of a double-meaning to this post. I'm so glad you asked! *coughs* Anyway, so last week I snuck (sneaked? - I literally work in editing and publishing in RL and this word is an actual heated debate topic for some... moving on) I spirited away to New York for… Continue reading 131. How to… take a risk.
130. How to… give in to those base instincts.
Sorry about the gap in blog posts lately, guys. It's been a rough couple weeks. I'm really feeling the purple lately, so I figured I'd have a little bit of fun with it. Have you ever had one of those weeks where all you want is to snuggle up with something soft and have someone… Continue reading 130. How to… give in to those base instincts.
