Oh little hunt item..be still. you're mine now!
So like I said before, swim shorts and tank from [Lazybum] (# 33). boots from Deco (# 30) and pipe from sur+ (# 35). The picture below is pretty much the same stuff but with a tank and pants (including bulge) from Kobalt (# 32)
This is only what I've take pictures off so far and hopefully will have a chance to do some more hunting. RL is starting to get busy with uni work again and I mostly want to spend my SL time with Tel.
SL relationships was another thing I wanted to talk about. Valentines drawing near and I'm currently wanting to watch 'When Strangers Click' (and oh dear I've only just gotten the double meaning to that title *facepalms*), which is a new documentary about romance over the internet that will be airing on HBO on valentines day. Of course I'm not an American citizen so will have to find another way of watching. 5 people and/or couples are interviewed about their stories and of course there is one about SL. Though from the interview the director and the guy in the film did with Paisley Beebe (Which you can watch Heeerree) I wasn't fully sure if it was a SL/RL relationship this guy and his lady had or just SL. If so I'm interested to see how it is portrayed and how it's received. I've had my share of SL relationships in the past, some turning more real then they really should have while some with people who already had partners in their RL. Currently dating Tel is probably the best it has got and I'm not saying that because we're "oh so wonderfully in love" lol. Some have been selfish with their time and affection, some have been too demanding for my time and erm.. stamina while some were very rarely online. Tel and I seem to have effortlessly worked out a system that works for both of us, probably from a deeper understanding of each other and learning from past relationships. Which has really helped us feel a very rich love for each other inworld and a deep friendship in RL. I can't thank him enough for the love and understanding he's given me over recent RL happenings which are not really for this blog. What does always amaze me is that his RL bf knows and even reads THIS blog (Hi boyfriend-in-law *waves*). As far as I've known only RL couples who both venture in SL can have that kinda understanding. It's not the easiest of things to explain to people in the real world. But he has ventured into SL way before he started his RL relationship with Tel so has an understanding for how it works. Though I've only talked to him through Tel I have a great lot of respect and admiration for him and thank him immensely for making Tel very happy in the real world. :)
My RL boyfriend, however, DOESN'T know, much like a lot of real life partners don't. I have told a couple of close real life friends and while some accept it as fantasy and roleplay (which it isn't really but makes it easier to get an idea of it) some have labelled it pretty much as cheating. I've just never thought of it that way. Those who start using skype, web camming for eachother and meeting in real life for a date and even more.... Yes! I count that as cheating. My bf doesn't LIKE SL let alone want to understand it. He has a complete ignorance about the whole internet thinking it's for sad, poor losers who want attention. Though he seems pretty happy to socialize on his poker and football forum sites. *sighs* So I don't tell him about Tel. Not through lying or hiding it just makes for an easier, happier life for all of us. How do you explain the complex relationship of SL to a guy who doesn't even understand and even refuses to accept the appeal of Facebook?
But back to the documentary. It seem interesting. Love over the internet has always heavily interested me since I started researching about internet alter egos back in 2008. And from a director who original had no idea about this to begin with it'll be interesting to see how it goes. Information about it can be found HERE and be sure to watch the 4th clip because that's the SL one with a lil bit of animation fail. lol!
As I said before Valentines day is coming up and out of all the holidays THIS is the one I hate. I can only see this holiday working for new young lovers who have never had a Valentines before and, of course, businesses. Could it be because I've never had a good one? Yes! Most likely. But I hate the way it pushes loneliness on the single and pressure on the couples who are quite happy to show their love in their own way whenever they want! Plus all the hearts and tacky cards and present *gags a lil*. Thanks but no thanks!
I've been currently going for a more adult/ smart casual look as of recent. I'm sort of on that weird cusp that I'm getting too tall and buff to be considered a usual SL twink but my skin if very young and I'm still insanely smaller then most male avies. I invited a friend to Spankies about a week back while I was DJing and he commented how I was the only one there that "just" looked 18. I've always considered myself as about 20. But I'm very much a babydoll as Tel calls me and though only being 5'8" in RL I was that from an early age making me taller then the rest of the kids at school. Plus being the tallest in my flat I kinda like the idea of being smallish and babydoll looking. I felt very small (pixelly not mentally) at one club we went to yesterday. I'm 7'0" in SL for christ sake! Though that means very little in SL terms as Derren is towered over by 8'2" Manny. Though Manny is tall compared to most avies. Oh I'll never get it right hehehe!
Oh well. I like my shape and being slightly different from the tiny twinkies and the tan beefcakes. I found a picture on /cm/ while lurking on 4Chan that, in my mind, reminds me of Derren. I also wish I had the outfit. Maybe I could make it sometimes...maybe..most likely not. lol
And speaking of feeling small...
Holy crap! Big chipmunk! D:
That's it for my ramberlings...more to come soon I'm sure :>
