Trying new things often means that you run the risk of failing. Not everything can be a success all the time... and that's okay. If we were all perfect all of the time, we'd be boring as hell. And without failure, we wouldn't have some of the wonderful and happy little accidents that we do… Continue reading 149. Helmet, knee, and elbow pads not required (unless you’re one of those people who thinks the Golden Rule shouldn’t apply to you, in which case, we need to talk…)

143. I Shouldn’t Have to Tell You to Love Yourself First…
Sometimes, I feel like... like I must have missed something important somewhere along the line. I'm not sure where, and perhaps one day I'll be able to figure it out, but for now, I just sit back, and I watch. Every day, I see people in both RL and SL putting themselves in these horrible… Continue reading 143. I Shouldn’t Have to Tell You to Love Yourself First…
140. When the bough breaks…
It's been a roller-coaster couple of days, that's for sure. One of the things I'm starting to learn - one of the things I think I will always struggle with - is when to say no. When to back up when I need to back up and take a breath. When to admit that I… Continue reading 140. When the bough breaks…
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.
128. How to… knock on wood.
I'm moved... finally. And I have internet. And things are still an absolute mess, and there's boxes everywhere, and things to be put away, and things to be re-arranged, and then probably re-arranged again... but I'm here, and things are finally starting to calm down, and I'm able to breathe again. And... that alone has… Continue reading 128. How to… knock on wood.
121. How to… be pretty in pink.
So, I've noticed something since I've started taking photos in Second Life. For a long time, I had this... aversion to the color pink. I don't care how you want to slice it. Maybe I was avoiding constructed gender norms... maybe I felt like I didn't want to look like Barbie threw up all over… Continue reading 121. How to… be pretty in pink.
116. How to… avoid SL’s cardinal sin.
I already know what y'all are thinking, so before we get started, I'll clarify. Here's a list of the topics about which we are NOT talking today: "Is anyone going to tell her that her ankle lock isn't on and her foot is sticking out her belly button?""Come on now. Turn on your AO. You're… Continue reading 116. How to… avoid SL’s cardinal sin.
114. How to… appreciate your mistakes.
#sorrynotsorry, guys. I have a song stuck in my head (as I often do) so... welcome to my world. Things are getting better. All around, actually. There's a lot to unpack with that - a lot - but I am trying to keep an open mind and stay positive, especially over the next couple weeks.… Continue reading 114. How to… appreciate your mistakes.
66. How to… embrace the magic.
I couldn't help it. I've seen a few of the SL yearbook challenge photos floating around Facebook and Flickr lately, and then Trouble made a smart comment, and well... here we are. I promise there's a point that goes beyond me being a snarky brat, though! See, the other day, I was minding my own… Continue reading 66. How to… embrace the magic.
45. How to… play the game.
Okay, so we all get it. It's a game. I've had that debate here, and I've also mentioned that I've got friends in both Second Life and WoW who met through the game and are married in real life, so I'm definitely in the camp that things here can transpire to be more than simply… Continue reading 45. How to… play the game.
