Trading PlaceSL
Author: JessicaLol, see what I did with the title?
I’m glad Alicia came up with a BBBC topic for today, because I haven’t had much going on my my SLife and I’ve been wearing the same outfit for a few days. She wants to know
If there was someone you could trade places with for one day in Second Life, who would it be and why? Bonus points if you find this person and snap a picture with them!
I know exactly who I’d switch places with, but because she scares me and is a self-googling, name calling, finger wagging crazy cat lady, I’m going to refrain from using their name. On one hand, I want to understand how she’s made it where she is while being publicly insane and know more about the drama that has gone down between her and a group of individuals representing a certain Californian college. On the other, griefing is fun and it would be easy to grief myself.
I must admit, I don’t know much about this person and the drama, but it’s interesting and the college individuals previously mentioned share most of the same feelings I have about freedom of expression in Second Life.
Just in case, I’m going to say this up front. I’m leaving names out because I’m a shitless bystander when it comes to serious drama. I’ll admit it. I’m a no-one in Second Life and should I make the wrong people mad, I could lose what I have.
But, hey, I had to write my BBBC post about something!

My own sim?
Author: JessicaToday’s BBBC question asks what I would do if I had my own sim:
You’ve been given a sim of your very own to use for free for one year.However, there are 3 rules. It cannot be residential, it cannot be commercial, and it has to be open to the public. What do you do with it?
Well, first off, I’d freak out. No way I’d have enough money to afford my own sim that I’m not making money with, so I’m obviously loaded. After spending a few hours setting up prim noobs and running them over with cars I would just start building.
I love retro future styling and I’d probably make at least part of it reflect that. Perhaps four identical builds themed differently with a central meeting place where they all mesh together.
The whole build would be scripted and controllable via HUD… moving and changing lights, bridges, robot houses, raining penises… complete chaos. The island would be Mature because one of the quadrants would just be straight up internet memes. Walk in through a goatse gate and catch a lemonparty on your way to the Hopkin green frog hunt.
On the ground would be fairly normal, but in the sky I’d love to let anyone do whatever they want. If you’re offended, leave.
I would call it ‘lulz’.

BBBC09#1!
Author: JessicaLast year, Alicia Chenaux came up with a weekly challenege to get bloggers off their butts and back to their keyboards. The Big Bad Blogger Challenge is back for another year and that’s great. I can always use an idea of something to blog about other than what I’m wearing.
Today, she wants to know
How long have you been a blogger? How has it enriched your life?
I’ve blogged for a long time, back before they called it blogging. I had ‘online diaries’ on a bunch of different platforms, some that are long gone. Free Open Diary is a site that merged into Open Diary and wiped all the old accounts. My Dear Diary holds a bunch of my old poetry. Zanga and Blogspot held onto my high school woes until I moved to LiveJournal after getting an invite code from a friend, back when you had to be invited to the site. I moved from that to designing my own websites hosted on free platforms, trying to disable popup and banner ads. After while, I just broke down and purchased my own domain and hosting.
I’d say over all, I’ve been ‘blogging’ for at least 10 years and I’m not even old. It’s hard to think people have probably been out there typing away for years longer than I have.
As far as enrichment goes, I don’t think I’ve gotten much out of it until more recently after I’ve found myself in Second Life. In real life, you’re one of the zillions of blogs online and no one cares that you hate your science teacher. In Second Life, you’re only one in a thousand or so regular bloggers. If you want to be someone, Second Life is the place to try. Without much effort, I’ve found my way onto the friend lists of several residents who I feel are on the A-list (or at least some special ‘list’). With a little more effort on my end, maybe someday I’ll have people piddling when I approve their friend request.

Wordle!

All the words on my blog (except SLURL, it was HUEG) in cloud form. Whoever thought clouds would be a good way to organize information was stupid. They’re only pretty to look at.

Love Thursday: Nimil Blackflag
Author: Jessica
- Ganked from her Snapzilla :3
I’ve never written up a Love Thursday before. Then again, I didn’t really blog much before. It seems to be the cool thing to do and today I have an appropriate something that I love that I can blog about. That something is the magnificent rat-girl, Nimil Blackflag, who will never give you up and never let you down. Let me tell you all about how my second life got flipped, turned upside-down.
I have a terrible memory and I can’t remember exactly when Nimil and I first met, but it’s not like that matters. The way we get along, it’s like we’ve known each other for years. We both like trolling /b/, being inappropriate and laughing at fugly noobs. On the more serious note, Nimil and I have really clicked on a more emotional level. We have a similar outlook on life and I know I can always talk to her about anything.
Nimil is also an amazing artist that likes to push the limit on what people think is proper and I love it. Second Life needs more macabre artists that aren’t afraid to get ugly with art. Well, it doesn’t need that many more, because I’ve got all I need through Nimil.
Today is actually Nimil’s 3rd rezday, so if you see her in world, be sure to drop her a line. Happy rezday, rat-girl!
You can find out more about Nimil at:

Author: JessicaThere’s a new meme going around and who am I to resist a good meme? I better not if I plan on people paying attention to my blog, that’s for sure!
