I’m scheduled to display art in the Raglan Gallery in November and December :) Today I wrote up my about the artist, got a headshot made, and chose which snapshots will be on display.

How fun!

RL is still very much cutting into my SL time. If you’re the praying type, please pray for my father in law and also for my friend. Both are going through different cancer treatments. The worry is taking it’s toll on my own health and that’s why I haven’t been around. I’m just flat out too exhausted to function and lately I’ve had to give up doing a lot of things, SL has been one of them. Between family being ill, the exhaustion and the anxiety getting worse, it’s been a tough few months.

I miss you guys <3

ahhh dino!, originally uploaded by Lorimae Undercroft.

Tonight Valla and I had a grand adventure! It included also shopping for hair at a great shop called Tekuteku. She bought some cute hair tonight!

Then we went to go find the dino on LoLo. We didn’t find the one we were hunting for, but we did find this one! First it growled at us, then it looked at us like we were just silly for standing that close..

Then….. it….. (just one sec, I’ll blog two more photos!)

See? :) He’s cute but not for noms!

I can even change his cage tray color to one of hm… maybe 8 colors? Pink looks nice there on the goldfish dock.

Teddy and I gathered up stamps yesterday and got a hamster for prize.

You buy an item that hast he stamp card (the cheapest items are 100 linden and go on up from there.. we bought the flapjack chairs that are by my house at Hanauta to get the card) and then you visit each of the shops, click the stamp machine and wait to make sure you got a stamp mark! Lag makes it not trigger sometimes.

Then you go to the prize hut and you pick what you like! One prize per card and you can equip a few cards if you want, and they’ll stamp all at once. But, if you stamp them all, then go back with another card.. you gotta re-visit the shops.

We got a hamster prize pet by Vooner :) He hasn’t got a name yet.. He is cute, he’s sitting near the flapjack chairs. Near.. but not too near, for he will eat them in the night. If you don’t see him in his cage, hopefully he’s just taking a nap. Otherwise.. well.. make sure he isn’t drowning okay? The turtle keeps threatening to eat him.. aah!

I’m already looking forward to the next one! The last one I did I got a little dog from Vooner I think, I’ll have to dig him out and arrange enough free prims so he can be my pet dog :) He can guard my hamster.

I hate to be all sheltered in life here, but I am and I am happy in my sheltered life. What I saw tonight…… gross! Looking in search in SL, with the mature search unchecked (because with it checked, I need to bleach my eyes) and trying to find sims that sell dogs. Dogs, as in like.. little cute virtual pets.. not.. like what I saw of the… Oh. gross…

I don’t want to see that crap, so I unchecked the mature button. Still gross, it’s still there only in a different search order! I don’t understand how search listings work apparently because I’m still seeing it in the list of places. You’d think by now after all this time in SL, stuff would fail to gross me out but here we are.. grossed out to the max haha

The stuff I’ve seen, the descriptions of sims, the sim photographs that go on their LM’s.. holy crap… people need to have a little bit of decency when it comes to search listings, particularly when it’s the non-mature settings.

I need to bleach my eyes now and go back to my sheltered life, thank you. I’m happy by not seeing this stuff. I need to unsee it and think about kittens for a while. Meow meow meow.

I still can’t find any dogs because I’m grossed out after wading through that which I saw. It cannot be unseen. I’ve seen the VKC ones, and the ones I blogged about before the AI Friends, and Zooby’s. Thought I’d see if any new dog makers had appeared, but I think I’ll skip the whole thing and remain without a dog. I’m less likely to want to hurl that way if I can avoid using searches.

I am very certain that previous attempts to find dog vendors did not bring up this… *waves a paw vaguely* … stuff … with mature unchecked.

*shiver* Gross.

Hand drawn shirt, originally uploaded by Lorimae Undercroft.

I have officially completed the Gimpsters course taught by Calla Cela and Ima Mechanique! :) That’s what I’ve been doing almost every Saturday since June. It was hard work but I’m still surprised that it’s over. It doesn’t feel like it’s been so many weeks, but I guess it has.

She even gave me a graduation cap! Yippie!

This past week the final project was to create two dress shirts. I’m super proud of the hand drawn one! I’ll get a snapshot of myself in it later. One had to be hand drawn, the other was photo realistic.

Yay me :) Next up is to figure out what project I want to work toward Journeyman. Maybe jewelry, maybe a kid’s outfit, maybe a vehicle.. what to do what to do..

It was a tough class, fitting homework time in between health problems and life stress was tough but I did it! *high five* I am sooo proud of myself, I didn’t really know if I could pull this off.

Now I know how to use GIMP! :)

My in world time is a bit low right now, a family member is ill and although I am not there with them the worry is eating at me. The stress of it all is making my own RL health not so great. I’m just not up to chatting much really, I’m sorry.

I have IM’s sent to my e-mail, so hopefully I don’t miss anything.

P.S. Ray, those cat images are super funny, thank you! I saved the one with husband cat waits for wife cat at the mall hehe

RFL Walk in SL

July 18, 2009

It’s almost time! I can’t be there to walk with a friend in the real life version held in her area, I would love to walk with her on lap one but it’s just not possible because I live so far away. Instead, I will do like I did last year and walk for her in SL. Yay!

She is so ill this year that I truly did not expect to have a Mother’s Day with her this year. But here we are, both making plans for different RFL walks and planning out Christmas ideas. :) She is not improving, but she’s holding on.

Last year the RFL-SL walk was super laggy, so when you go.. please put on basic shirt/pants and remove unnecessary prims, huds, scanners and so on. Be patient, it’s tough to move but it’s something that means a lot to many of us who will be there. I think last year they had a thing to pick up and wear so you could count your laps and distance. So grab one of those too when it’s time! :)
