This one's hard for me, to be honest. When I joined Second Life, I thought it was great. As a disabled person without the ability to drive, I had high hopes for Second Life as something far beyond a game. It was a social platform, too. A way to meet new people and interact in… Continue reading 79. How to… let them in.
78. How to… turn on the light.
Haha. Get it? Because I played with Black Dragon today and have no idea what I'm doing... Okay, so maybe you don't get it, but this metaphor goes well beyond me bashing my face against the keyboard until I managed to get my photo to look half-decent in a viewer that might as well have… Continue reading 78. How to… turn on the light.
77. How to… take control.
Sometimes, life just likes to kick you a few times. There are people who will say that we are in control of our own destinies. These are often the same people who will tell those suffering from depression that they simply need to smile more. Partly, they are right: we are in control of our… Continue reading 77. How to… take control.
76. How to… keep things in perspective.
Y'all... it's been a day. Or a couple of days. I'm still kicking, but I'm exhausted, and you know... despite all of that, it's still been an amazing week. I'm pretty sure between real life and Second Life I've managed to earn myself a few new gray hairs, but it's been worth it. At least… Continue reading 76. How to… keep things in perspective.
75. How to… make your mark.
When we're little, we hear so many stories that start with "Once upon a time..." We hear about princesses locked in tall towers, dragons, and knights on white horses, love at first sight. So many things that make the world seem so wonderful. And we want those things. We want our very own story, and… Continue reading 75. How to… make your mark.
74. How to… make some mistakes.

This week, thus far, I've: taken four tests for school and started a new class.finished some items for the store for an upcoming event.gotten a friend of mine from NC into a domestic violence shelter in my statefinally got an appointment to see a new neurologist,… Continue reading 74.

73. How to… have a good time.
I couldn't help it, y'all. I just couldn't help it. First of all, I haven't taken this suit set from Blueberry off but once since I bought it, and secondly, if Shania Twain's "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" didn't immediately pop into your head the first time you put this on, well... We need… Continue reading 73. How to… have a good time.
72. How to… make some (new) memories.
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, as I'm sure some of you know if you've been following along with this train-wreck that is an amalgamation of blog and life. I started this blog because I've been some places and got a few t-shirts that I'd rather throw into the burn pile, and I… Continue reading 72. How to… make some (new) memories.
71. How to… move past THAT person.
Plot twist: The thing about people who steal a piece of your heart is that you never really get that piece back. It doesn't matter where you met them, or how; that part is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, especially in today's society. I'm not saying you won't heal, because you will.… Continue reading 71. How to… move past THAT person.
70. How to… bring the world back into focus.
So, last night, my friend and I were rambling on as we sometimes do, and we got onto the subject of kids. Don't ask me how we got there, because it probably involved a few strange left turns and a brief foray into the kind of topics that would make interesting comic book fodder... but… Continue reading 70.
