Once again, it's been a while.
I'm thinking about getting a job as a dancer or a hostess at The Pound. Neko/Vampire/Furry/anything-non-human hangout kind of place. I'm trying to decide if I can devote 4-8 hours a week to a job that pays in tips only. Then again, it means that I don't have to put money into SL anymore.
Also, I won a full-page ad in the Midian Dark Times. I actually hadn't realized when I entered that that was one of the prizes... the L$1000 was nice, though. So now I need to come up with an ad. Or find someone who wants an ad. Hm.
Meanwhile, lots of crazy stuff happens in Midian, which is where I spend most of my SL time still.
Can't actually think of anything relevant or witty to say.
Hmm.

Two things.
First of all, I've added a ton of pics to Flickr, including a random (IC) introspection post.
Second of all, because I'm completely stuck on my NaNoWriMo novel (no, I won't tell you my username on NaNo, it's linked to RL and I really don't want to link RL and SL. I do, however, recommend NaNoWriMo to anyone who even remotely likes writing/storytelling/novelling.), I've started writing a new one. It is Amrys's story. I'm trying to tell it from Amrys's point of view, and without biasing any more than she would to making her seem like some big hero.
I'm starting with the scene where she runs away ;)
So what I'm wondering is... how lame is that? I mean, very little of the story did I come up with on my own. Most of the interaction comes from other characters. I'm worried that later, I'll have to start sludging through the chat log just to keep everything as close to accurate as possible.
Meh, if you'd read it, please let me know. I'd like to feel that I'm not just wasting time, even if it's a fun diversion.

Color
Something occurred to me while chatting with some NaNoers in-world.
Colors are thought to have meaning, and to tell about your personality when worn.
IRL, I usually wear lots of grey and soft blues. This (supposedly) means that I like to blend in and am calm (or seek to be calm). According to this website, it also means that I come off as uncaring. Hadn't realized that. I also wear very relaxed clothing, and cover most of my body regardless of the weather. Insecure? Maybe. Quiet? Hell yes.
ISL (in SL), I wear lots of red and black (mostly red). Note that red is the boldest of colors, and is recommended to be worn for interviews. It says the person is energetic and powerful. Do I want to seem that way? Well, yes. But it wasn't intentional... I didn't think, "What color will make me seem powerful?" And black seems powerful as well, sort of the period at the end of red's sentence.
Anyway, that's all my random commentary.
Pictures whenever I figure out how to export from inventory. Meanwhile, if you look me up inworld, you can see a more recent pic of my avi.

Amrys's letters
Amrys keeps letters written on scrap paper stashed in the back of her locker.
Мама,
I hope you have not been worried. Maybe there is good reason, but I must assure you, that I am well. The past... nearly five years! Have been almost a blur. This is the first I've been able to write. I hope I can find a post to Новгород.
Maybe I should start at the beginning, but I think for now it is better to explain where I am. I am in a strange city called Midian. It is on an island; I don't know, exactly where. I am living with a group of cats, who call themselves ,,The Catwalkers." This name, I think, is because they own the catwalks over the city--it is our territory. This city is so crowded, but that is partly because up high, there are so few. It seems that many humans fear heights! And there are many humans here.
I am learning much. Did you know, that we speak two languages? I did not know language meant more than just the means of communication. They are called ,,Russian" and ,,English." Russian is the words like ,,кошка"; English is words like "cat."
Right now I am training for a job. I get paid перввй раз today. I think I will not explain this job until I tell you about before I arrived here. It is a good job, не беспокоись! It does involve self-defense training. My trainer is another Catwalker named Beast. She is scary, but also a good friend. We--Beast, myself, Ravi, Jes, Dazy, and a few other Catwalkers--went camping earlier this week. We behaved as kittens, and that is part of what made me decide to write.
Ешё раз, я прошу тебя, что не беспокоишься. I am happy and about as safe as one can be in such a city as this. I have a warm and safe home, good friends, and soon I will have a well-paying job in security.
I leave a space for when I find out if we have a proper address. I'm sorry, I know you must have been worried. Пиши меня! Будь здорова!
If you are interested in your character finding Amrys's letters, please contact me in-world. This information is to be taken as OOC unless the letters are found.

Lack-of-Coherency warning: this post is a whiny rant with little/no topic, and absolutely no substance.
I don't update this much. Sorry.
I'd post some awesome pictures from RP like I've been meaning to do for a while... but I'm on my old computer. Which means NO SL, NO RP, NO HOMEWORK (sad, actually, as I've much due next week), and NO planning for D&D.
So basically now all there is left is email, blog, and knitting. This computer can't handle much.
He (yes, my computers are male) weighs about 7 pounds and has 512 MB of RAM. So I'm not going anywhere--especially considering that I took the battery out, since it doesn't last long enough anyway to keep it unplugged. The weight was without battery. It's like a crappy desktop! Whee!
*contemplates trying to find all the parts to build a frankencomputer... Then remembers that it's Friday in a small, un-nerdy college town.*
Meanwhile, some commentary on SL's new "Adult" ratings!
Sumup: WTF.
Okay, let me get this straight. If it displays or promotes sex and/or violence, it's adult. If it does not promote either but has hints of it, it's either mature or adult, depending on Linden Lab's POV on the exact case. If it would be rated G in a movie, it's "PG".
So the way I see it is... the only ratings available in SL (and I use movie terms because I lack skill with words today) are G and X.
And I list "mature" content in G... because most sims I go to that are labelled "Mature" are cleaner than some Disney movies.
Okay, that was more of a rant than a review. My computer died today. There was much screaming and cursing and acts of violence (that would get my apartment moved to Zindra).
Today, I don't actually want to be a Pepper too. I just want my computer back.

Recent events in SL
Well... Let's see...
= Amrys is in training to become a Ghost... it's going slowly, partly because I suck at riddles and partly because I haven't been on much in a while.
= Amrys has finally found a disguise! And while in disguise, at the Masquerade, she met a people, and this people is Artika. She's all loopylovey, but who knows if it will go anywhere...
= Amrys's pledge seems to have disappeared? D: Never did much with her, because she joined right before the big internetfail (meaning, I failed at internets, not that the internets failed.)
I don't know what else to say... seemed like I should say something, though.
I'm debating starting a "diary" for Amrys.

Flickr... I'm too lazy to blog.
For most updates on Amrys, go to the flickr album... it's got more in it, really. I forget to update here.
