Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your blog post, delete my answers and input your own. Remember to leave your link in this meme’s comments so we can all come by, read your answers and secretly judge you.

1. Which was the last sim you visited? (Other than your home) ✨Dᴇᴇʀ Rɪᴠᴇʀ✨ 
   
   
   
   
   
2. Does your avatar look like the real you? Nope! I love looking so different than my real self. It gives me a huge sense of freedom.
   
3. Do you wear underwear/panties underneath your clothing when out and about on the grid? Personally, no because I'm waaaay too lazy. The only time I wear them is when I'm specifically asked or during a lingerie contest. That said, I sometimes do use invisible alpha layers so those bits can't be seen.
   
4. If you won a million linden dollars, what would be the first thing you buy in-world? Idk, I'd probably buy a few things I've wanted for awhile, then either hoard it or convert it to a premium subscription. Most likely, just hoard it.
   
5. Have you ever bought something in SL and then realized afterwards that you had already owned it from before? Noting too expensive to truly regret. Some of the freebies or super cheap stuff, once or twice.
   
6. Have you ever done anything in Second Life that would be considered illegal in real life? Heck yeah! B&E for a photo shoot, drugs, and a bunch of sexual stuff. I think you should try it all at least once in-world because A) no one worth your time will really care & B) you can do basically anything in SL so why not? (With a side caveat for anything sexual being that all parties are 18+ and consenting)
   
7. If you could go out on a date with any other avatar, who would it be? Anyone who really wants to I suppose. Idk, I'm not really picky or have a fave person in-game.
   
8. Who, in your opinion, was the greatest avatar to ever live? Mikoshi was the most epic guy I've ever met in SL fosho. We lost contact after I took a year and a half off to move and get my shit together irl. Miss ya buddy. ❤️
   
9. What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done inworld? Omg I have way too much to name. So. Much. Noobing. .-.;
   - I've had issues with poseballs and poses, finding them, using them, having the adjustments off so I'm face-deep in a sofa or in the floor, and always have these problems while someone is waiting on me or in a crowded area so I can look extra nub. They are the bane of my existence.
   - I've had double outfits on and didn't realize it or I thought it was just my horrible slow internet messing up.
   - Fricking doors. I've walked into my fair share and have tried walking through them and wondering wtf was going on until either I realized what was happening or someone else opened it. Sometimes the doors in SL open with a click, sometimes they're avi activated. And with my god-awful internet they are a total pain and very embarrassing to deal with crowded areas or with company. 😖
   
10. If your avatar had a mind of its own, what do you think it would say to you? “You change outfits/avis faster than a chameleon changes color.”

Kick Off & 100 Theme Challenge - 1. Introduction

Well, to get this blog-thing rolling, I've decided to kick it off by starting the 100 THEME CHALLENGE!

⊱✿  1. Introduction  ✿⊰

Greetings fellow interwebs traveler! My name is  Ｓａｓｈａ and I'm currently involved in an interactive social simulator known as "Second Life". Perhaps you've heard of it,

" Second Life is an online virtual world, developed and owned by Linden Lab. It has about 1 million regular users, according to Linden Lab. In many ways, Second Life is similar to MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games), Linden Lab is emphatic that their creation is not a game: “There is no manufactured conflict, no set objective”. The virtual world can be accessed freely via Linden Lab's own client programs, or via alternative Third Party Viewers; Phoenix Firestorm. Second Life users create virtual representations of themselves, called avatars (also called Residents) and are able to interact with other avatars, places or objects. They can explore the world (known as the grid), meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, build, create, shop and trade virtual property and services with one another. It is a platform that principally features 3D-based user-generated content. SL also had its own virtual currency, the Linden Dollar – which was exchangeable with real world currency. Second Life is intended for people aged 16 and over, with the exception of 13–15-year-old users restricted to the Second Life region of a sponsoring institution (e.g. school)." - Wikipedia

I've been on SL for over 2 years and have watched the community and creativity grow in the vast community by leaps and bounds - especially now that MESH is available to use. I still have much more to see and do as new things and events are created EVERY DAY.

( Due to RL moving, I had to go on hiatus for 2 ½ months, but now I'm back and want to continue where I left off - exploring new places, seeing all the new things, and meeting a ton of new people. :3 )

Prior to signing up, I did a TON of research to try to better understand the world/environment of second life, as well as simple things like keyboard controls (how to move around), in-game camera controls (how to look around), what viewers were out there that would best suit my computer (like Phoenix Firestorm - which has an excellent filing system that you'll need desperately once you have a lot in your inventory!), and much, MUCH more. I strongly suggest you do the same to familiarize yourself with things BEFORE going in headfirst.

To any newbies out there, I suggest keeping the SECOND LIFE WIKI bookmarked, and refer to it often when you have a question, or just Google your problem. There's a great chance someone else has encountered your issue and has figured it out. ;) Each viewer also has it's own wiki for Q&A troubleshooting, so refer to those for further instructions.

⊱✿  Avatars  ✿⊰

When I finally joined I was pleased to see that SL had a wide variety of free, beginner default avatars of both genders, and some of no gender.

(female & male default avis)

I chose a gothic vampiress as my beginner avi and took off. It was a bit of a rocky start, but with the greatly appreciated assistance of an experienced player I met, (Sam Dragoone) I was soon off to a great start. =^.^=

As of now, I've helped my own share of newbies get on their feet and begin exploring and enjoying the vast virtual world I've come to know and love.

As for myself, and my own avi, I chose a variety of avis to suit both occasion and my mood. (In-world as such is usually referred to as a "shapeshifter" to less complicate things either in chat or your bio.)

♥ Fox ♥

♥ Doe ♥

♥ Snow-Felis ♥

♥ Draft Horse ♥

♥ Sergal ♥

♥ Fawn ♥

♥ Human Female ♥

♥ Sabertooth ♥

♥ Border Collie ♥

♥ Miku ♥

The majority of my avis are anthropomorphic (antho) animals because I've found I enjoy being "Furry" much more so, and have enjoyed the community. (In a world that you can literally be WHATEVER you want, why not? ;D)

In RL (real life - eg: offline life) I would say I'm not really a furry, more in the fringes of it as a Neko (Catgirl). At home, I like to wear a cute collar, cat ears, and a tail. When I go out, I sometimes wear the cat-ears, but not usually. My family has come to terms with my lifestyle, and my friends support me wholeheartedly. My sweetheart absolutely LOVES it. X3

⊱✿  Likes & Dislikes  ✿⊰

♥ Friends & the community

♥ The wonderful art that can be found!

♥ Building her own characters

♥ Her sweetheart ;p

♥ Taking photos of the different places she visits

♥ Going to the clubs to dance and listen to excellent music by the talented DJ's

♥ Going to educational lectures (shit's useful as fuck bro. forealz)

♥ PROGRAMMING 8D  (best part. Fucking 10/10 )

♥ Sex  (I use the site called F-List to convey quickly what I do and don't like - https://www.f-list.net/c/sasha-grimlkin/ I strongly recommend everyone to make one, furry or not. It really helps ^-^ )

♥ Learning how to mod stuff

♥ Building stuff

♥ The water  (when I got a better graphics card, I wanted to swim in the water forealz sooooo bad XD )

♥ Being a sexy Mofo ;P

♥ Literate people (Seriously guys... Good spelling & grammer goes a hella long way...)

♥ D&D/Pathfinder type games, oodles of syfy/fantasy shows, Anime & Manga, Minecaft, Skyrim, comic books, etc.

♥ Roleplays (both sexual & non)

✘ Pushy guys who only want sex... -___-; Shit's annoying as fuck... (No, I'm not here to be your personal sex toy. Contrary to popular belief, I AM A HUMAN BEING WITH SHIT TO DO THAT'S NOT YOU. ಠ____ಠ )

✘ How a lot of human avis look the same
✘ Assholes and "trolls" - especially "trolls" in sandboxes or dedicated "safe zones".
✘ "Furry Haters" and "Furry Abuse Trolls"

✘ People who upload and sell copyrighted content. (Not cool guys, not cool....)

✘ Illiterate people (N0 u cnt tlk lik dis. U finshd 2nd grde, SO FRIGGING SPELL LIKE IT. ಠ____ಠ )

✘ People who leave their frigging mic on all the goddamn time... (Nobody wants to hear you breathe, eat, drink, cough, shit, or you kids in the background... Just fucking stop pleeeease...)

✘ Overpriced stuff

✘ The $10L image upload price & $30L buying Lindens tax  (Yes, I understand why they're there, I just don't personally like it)

✘ People who try to use a blanket IM 'disclaimer' in their bio (Linden Labs has a specific rule stating that you CANNOT post an IM or video of anyone anywhere else on the web WITHOUT the individual's prior consent. Some people wish to bypass this by stating in a 'disclaimer' their bio that they have the right to post whatever they want whenever they feel like it. REGARDLESS of this idiotic 'disclaimer', which holds no grounds, if you do so and are reported, you can lose your account and be permanently banned from SL.)

✘ Some of the tacky images & gifs used in-world.  (As a graphic designer & webmaster, this hurts me deeply... Any fellow graphic artists will sympathize...)

Despite all the bad, there's certainly more good to look forward to all the time. :)

⊱✿  A Few Final Words  ✿⊰

At the end of the day, I would certainly suggest trying out Second Life and recording your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It's a hella lotta fun! ;D

Intriguing Questions Meme - Sasha (nellymoose118)

  

(Taken from nerdishfantasies.blogspot.com)

Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your post. Delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to leave a comment in this post!

1. How do you deal with criticism?
   Pretty well. I take criticism with a grain of salt in the majority of cases. If the critic can present the material in a new, and better light, then I may take it seriously. If not, then it will immediately be disregarded. I only take my very close friends, and my partner's criticism to heart.
   
   
2. What’s the most infuriating thing other SL residents do? Honestly, there's too much to name without making this a fawking block-of-text. But I'll give a few key pointers...
   • Impossible body proportions (eg: extra super wide hips with a rail thin waste, and huge breasts) are really popular and it makes me so sad to think how deeply body image issues and awful concepts of “beauty” are in today’s society.
   • It's really difficult to have a decent conversation with a cis male, as the cis male will 99% of the time turn the conversation to something sexual, even if the situation was nowhere near anything sexual to begin with, and he will expect you to follow along. If you don't, you get harassed and eventually dropped like yesterday's news.               
     
   • The try-hard assholes who "troll" people - especially in the sandboxes.
   • The people who sell art/images/whatever that isn't theirs on the marketplace. This absolutely INFURIATES ME.
     
     
     
     Whenever I see a new piece of theft, I imagine the asshat sitting there, (ignoring the copyright law and LL TOS), like,
     
     
     Then I try to hunt down the ORIGINAL artist and report the theft. It's becoming harder and harder as more and more people do this... Not to mention, LL(c) disregards any reports anyways, so good luck trying to get the theft-content removed. -_-;
   • And lastly, assholes who leave their fucking mic on. I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN, AND I WILL KILL YOU.
     
     

     
     
3. Which SL resident would you most like to have lunch with and why?
   During the summer of 2013 I met an amazing geek that goes my the name Garu Heart (mikoshi). He was the most amazing friend on SL I could have ever asked for and I miss him a ton.
   
   
4. Who would you say is your “anti” role model? Someone who serves as a warning rather than an inspiration?
   I don't have one person I can name, just the people who do the stupid BS in #2...
   
   
5. What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you?
   Well, not much as I've grown a tougher skin and now continue to do whatever the fuck I want, whenever I want. 
   
   
6. What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about?
   Honestly, I'd love to become an escort, call girl, or porn actress - I have nowhere near the right body for it, but a girl can dream!
   
   
7. What’s the oddest term of endearment you've ever used or that someone’s used for you?
   "Stinky wilbur pizza bird!" to my partner, a nickname we also call our pet pineapple/cinnamon green cheek conure Fruit Loops (aka chicken) because I misheard when my SO was talking; "widdle bird"="wilbur" and "how's the bird?"="pizza bird". Idk how my ears/brain misheard and came up with that nonsense instead of the correct things. ^_^;
   
   
8. Have you ever fallen in love with another SL resident?
   No. I have had strong feelings of deep kinship, but never romantic 'love'.
   
   
9. Describe a time/event in your second life that you’re nostalgic for.
   At one time I was in a Bloodlines clan that dissolved when I was away in school. I deeply miss the group connection and feeling of belonging with that band of outsiders.
   
   
10. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you?
    Chat with me, explore with me, have a few fantastic rp's with me (sexual & non), and most of all, I'd love help finding a steady job. I'm currently trying to work freelance and it can be exceedingly stressful as there as no guarantees getting a full payment, or steady, non-stressful hours.
