What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
It's a cliché that gay men aren't any good at sports and that fat kids always get picked last to join a team for games that require physical fitness. As mother nature, or whomever doles out these characteristics, saw fit to hit me with a double whammy (i.e. make me the fat gay kid), it... Continue Reading →
Hope is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soul,And sings the tune without the words,And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard;And sore must be the stormThat could abash the little birdThat kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land,And on the strangest sea;Yet, never, in extremity,It... Continue Reading →
Let's be honest, Second Lifeâ„¢ isn't a properly fulfilling substitute for a happy real life, but who can blame us for escaping into this fantasy world even if it doesn't truly promote mental health. Many of us will create a Second Life that is so painfully perfect, our real lives will never measure up to... Continue Reading →
While I haven't turned my tiny Second Lifeâ„¢ habitat into a mini winter wonderland just yet, in real life the weather gods have been rather enthusiastic with the white powdery stuff, as if Stockholm is some kind of flawed cake they're desperately trying to cover up. It's been kinda nice the past couple of days,... Continue Reading →
Ain't gonna lie, I haven't been spending an awful lot of time in Second Lifeâ„¢ lately. It's due to a combination of circumstances. While I was on sick leave after breaking my shoulder at the beginning of this year, I got more into the habit of binge watching series and these days the streaming services... Continue Reading →
In Seconde Life nail polish on male avatars is as controversial as chopping down a tree, putting it indoors and festively decorating it around Christmas time. It's about as shocking as making the statement that the pope wears a lot of white. For some reason however, a man wearing nail polish in real life, risks... Continue Reading →
WordPress offers daily writing prompt to inspire bloggers. I haven't paid much attention to those. Actually, I haven't paid any attention to those. Yesterday's writing prompt however was "how do you practice self-care?" My honest answer to that question probably is "seldom and poorly". Still, there are some things I find therapeutic. I knit. For... Continue Reading →
Yes, my loyal little Meavers! (It's what happens when you cross Lady Gaga fans, a.k.a. Little Monsters, with Beaver fans... hmm, it's not really working, is it?). It is time! It is time to done a pair of shorts that in Second Lifeâ„¢ are far from shocking (pray tell, what IS shocking in Second Life?)... Continue Reading →
If one ever finds oneself in a moment of uncertainty in Second Lifeâ„¢ with regards to where-oh-where one should be shifting one's behind to, one can always consult the Destination Guide. In-world it is represented by one of those map pointy symbol thingies that are often used by real world navigation tools to indicate were... Continue Reading →
In real life my mind often drifts off to a before and after situation. I broke my shoulder around the middle of January and a rather complicated fracture had to be corrected with a rather complicated surgery, called a reverse shoulder replacement. While I will be getting better and gradually gain back mobility in my... Continue Reading →
