30 Days of Truth-Day 24

Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)

Oh and I DID post the actual songs but there you go. I enjoyed putting this together.

Dear NI

I put together a playlist for you, the songs maybe don't mean much to you but they do to me, they represent bits of the journey we took together, and it's some of the music I listened to.

Anyway listen, don't listen, take it the wrong way, take it the right way etc.



Playlist for Ni

Never forget you-The Noisettes
The reason I chose this track is simple,refer to title.

Michael Jackson-Earth Song
Possibly one of the only songs that we both like so it's special.

Take That-Patience
Yeah I know Take That Yikes! but they are great lyrics and I listened to it a lot lately.

James Blunt-Goodbye my lover
No explanation needed these are some of the most beautiful lyrics I ever heard.

Kylie Minogue-Can't get you out of my head
Yep Yep.


Katy Perry-Hot N Cold
The theme tune of me and you :) both guilty as charged.

Scouting for Girls-This is not a love song
Listened to this when I was sulking mostly lol

Something you wish you had done in your life.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I wish I had tried harder period.

Lazy is my middle name and probably should be my first and last name too, all hail Ms Lazy Lazy Lazy *makes a quick lacklustre curtsy and slinks off to contemplate her naval.

Home alone

One of my oldest RL & SL friends Flick logged in last night for the first time in a very long time. It was so nice to 'see' her in SL again.

We had a great conversation which ranged from the really emotional RL stuff to the whereabouts of SL people we both used to know.

We talked about how difficult it is now to engage or meet new people in SL and even though there are a massive amount of people logged into the grid sometimes our IM boxes remain ominously silent. Where are all these people?  apart from the clubs where are they hiding?

Our avatars are roughly the same age, 3ish years and we reminisced fondly about our days as newbies in formal wear at Phatcats (is that still open? I will check).  Oh how busy we were.

I remember going to Phatcats with Miss Flicky both of us juggling multiple IM's and participating in a wicked funny conversation in local at the same time, we were busy busy popular girls *sighs.

Fast forward to last night, I had only my friend in my IM box, I was standing in a SL club she in a SL forest, no wicked funny local, no bombardment of IM's.

What I want to know is how and why this has happened? I have spoken to other people in world who relate similar things to me.

Do we become more anti social? do we become less interesting? I don't believe we do.

If anyone has any thoughts/solutions to this please let us know, I will be the one home alone on a pose stand adjusting prims and Flicky will be the one looking in her inventory for something to wear, while standing in an elven forest.

Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.

*Scratches head...I need to think about this one a while longer.........to be continued.

Takes a deep breath and plunges right in.

The biggest something I wish I hadn't done was leave school with only basic qualifications. I was a little bit clever and a lot lazy and I wanted out of education.

It is without doubt the most stupid decision I have ever made.

I went back into education a couple of years after that but I always felt like a bit of an interloper as most of my peer group had moved on.

I always felt like I was playing catch-up academically which is probably in my own head but there you go, that is what I wish I had not done.

Ok I have to write this. Something else I am coming to regret doing is visiting SL that first time, the mind boggles at the amount of time I have spent/wasted in world.

Yep I know it's a contradiction to diss SL on a blog about well SL, but hand on heart I bet there are a few of us S'Lifers who wish they had never set foot in the place.

I make no apologies for my bah humbug attitude, I am kinda rolling like that lately.

I am slipping behind again on this challenge.
(scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

This is quite a poignant subject for me today as I have recently had a fight with a very good friend. 

I am a stubborn person by nature and as I wrote early on in this challenge I can be very single minded and strong willed.

Firstly how bad was the fight? a little tiff or a knock down, drag out, shake the plaster off the walls argument. That would have some bearing (possibly maybe) on the situation. I know it shouldn't make a difference but it sometimes does..

I would hope I could forget the fight and rush straight to my injured friend and there is a 95% chance I would do that, but some fights are just so awful and they cut you so deeply that it's difficult to let them go. 5% of me thinks I would not go, this is the 5% I really hate about myself.

The other thing to bear in mind is if the fight was really bad would the injured friend want you there. Imagine if I rushed right over and then my friend didn't want me there or I made things worse by upsetting them.

If this was the case and they didn't want me there I would check they were OK and leave.

My first reaction to this question was of course I would go to see them, but after some honest thought I don't know if it's as simple to answer as that.

Game On..

I had an interesting day in SL today. I was at home minding my own business prim fiddling as usual when a friend of mine Lolly sent me a tp to go duck racing. I was total rubbish at it but I had a huge giggle, so Thank you Lolly. No ducks were harmed in the writing of this post :)

After the duck racing (well duck race losing in my case) I started playing Tiny Empires, and woot I love it so far I  haven't taken my eyes off the hud yet.

I am part of the Queendom of True Colors who are a very friendly bunch of people who made me feel right at home even though I had no clue what was happening at first.

I really needed something new to do and It's a way to meet new people too.

Thanks to Lolly and Sniffy for making me feel so welcome.
