Dear Diary:
It's nice to see Sookie back to finish up The Twisted Colour Challenge. Not a lot of weeks left. I decided to combine the colours this week since both were kinda "greeny" and kinda "reddy", in order to get my Christmas fix. I'm sure you've read in previous posts of my obsession with Christmas so I managed to assuage my need to show Christmas.
Almost all of the clothing and jewelry I'm wearing is either free or a very low cost, found at the stores or on Marketplace. Nice bargains!
Good Night for now.

Tis the Season to Go Out Dancing
Dear Diary:
Usually I live in jeans and a tee (or sweater now that the weather is a bit chilly). But sometimes it's nice to get all glammed up and go dancing. The other night my friend Chloe rang me up and asked if I wanted to go out. "But of course", I said. So we both put on our latest and bestest hot dresses and managed to hit a lot of the hot spots in the area. We ended up on the steps of Bogart's.
We weren't dressed in formal gowns so we didn't go in but Bogart's is decorated for Christmas so it really got us into the spirit.
Both of us had sore feet at this point but it was such a fun night, we barely noticed.
Good Night for now.

The December Arcade
Dear Diary:
A few days ago I was finally able to get into the Arcade. I thought I would get there, have a look around then go back to shop at another time. Of course that's an impossibility for me. So with L$ in my pocket I picked up a few things. When I decided to go back this morning, I had to wait. It provided a good opportunity to sit on the bench and takes some pictures.
I want to pick up more from Consignment. There's some great looking fossils I'm anxious to get.
Good Night for now.
I'm wearing (from the Arcade):
Hat: 8f8 Crazy Woolers (sloth) (store on SL Marketplace)
Jacket: dynasty Nordic Hoodie (winter)
Boots: Sleepy Eddy Engineer boots (navy)

Tis the Season for The Nutcracker
Dear Diary:
I always enjoyed seeing the ballet, The Nutcracker, in my first life. My family would always attend a production just before Christmas. It was a tradition. For the past two years, I've attended the ballet performance in my second life and have loved it! It's extremely well done by Ballet Pixelle at the Royal Opera House of Second Life. I was fortunate to be able to attend that production last Wednesday. It was tremendous!
The ballet will be shown again on December 18th at 2pm slt. Try to see it. You'll thoroughly enjoy it.
Another upcoming event at the Royal Opera House is a Christmas show by Little Yoshiwara Geishas, December 15th, 1pm slt
This is a venue you'll like to come back to, time and time again.
Good Night for now.

The Winter Season Challenge
Dear Diary:
Berry has picked a very appropriate Meme for me...today...for the next week...for the next 4 months. I just finished shovelling, came in, had my shower, had my breakfast, and the street plow came by. Next thing I knew, the sidewalk plow came by. So out I went AGAIN to shovel. And the weatherman said more is on the way tonight! I'm in a great mood to be doing this meme!! Grrrrrr....
1. What is the December/Winter season like where you live? I live in Canada, the northern part of a province. Enough said, eh? We have snow for about 4 months (hopefully) but I've seen a few flurries in May. Fortunately it doesn't stay. The average daytime temperature right now is around -8C [about 17F] which is really nice. In January it can hit -30C [about -22F]. There have been a few winters where we haven't had snow until mid January. And then other years a few flurries have arrived late October. Should I say...unpredictable?
2. When you think of winter, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? Hmmmm...first thing that pops into my head....boots, toque, mitts, parka, scarf, snow, shovelling, snow tires, car heater, frozen gas line, windshield scrapper, cold, wind, no sun, wind- burned skin, chapped lips, and I'm sure there are others I've mentally put on hold.
3. Have you ever played any extreme winter sports? I'm not sure about "extreme" sports but everything done in our winter could be "extreme". I downhill and cross country ski, I snow shoe and I've curled. I try to go skating (indoor) fairly often and outdoor (on the lake) when it's frozen.
4. What do you like most about this season? Alright. To this point it's sounds like I've been
5.Do you celebrate Christmas, Hannukkah, Kwanzaa or another holiday during this time of year? I celebrate Christmas and I can say that I'm a Christmas junkie. I start decorating December 1st and keep everything up until Epiphany, January 6th, although it isn't for any religious reasons. I have a real tree that I cover with ornaments I've collected or have had passed down to me. I like the family involvement at this time of year so I always am cooking big meals. I think I enjoy it because everyone seems to like each other, or tolerate each other, or maybe even love each other. Group hug, group hug, group hug!!
Good Night for now.

Tis the Season to Get Ready
Dear Diary:
Ah yes...today marks the beginning of the month that fills me full of hope and excitement [in both worlds by the way] and the day I start to put out my Christmas decorations. I found a great store, Botanica, that displayed wonderful holiday presentations so I decided to do some shopping.
On the pathway into the store, there are quite a few winter plants. The one I was taken with was the holly bush, nice shiny leaves and bright red berries.
Follow the path along to....
the Christmas store. There are many different Christmas trees on display. Some are airy and fantasy-like and I must admit, I was very attracted to them. They're named after capital cities in Europe.
No trip to a Christmas store would be complete without sitting on Santa's lap. He welcomed me and asked if I had been a good girl this year. Now is there any doubt about that??
I loved the look of the Light trees and picked one out to put on the roof of my home. I came home with Warsaw. You can resize them but I think it looks best in a larger size. It definitely shows the "snowflakes" that make up the tree.
The season has started! December will be fun for me.
Good Night for now.

Inside the Christmas store, you'll find a vast display of decorations. There are wreaths, Christmas trees, decorative boxes and poinsettias. A lot of these are mesh which makes it great for decorating.

Geek? Nerd? Or Dork?
Dear Diary:
Another thought provoking, very subjective Q&A for Berry's Monday Meme.
1. What do you consider yourself to be? Geek? Nerd? Dork? None of the above? All of the above? I always considered myself to be part Geek and part Dork and to this day think of myself as such. As a kid, I had straight hair that my Mom had cut in a very dorky way; had "railway tracks" (braces) until I was 16; and wore truly ugly glasses (I'm cockeyed!) I was more comfortable in a science lab than at a party. [ok, I've changed!] I've never lost my desire to learn as much as I can and sometimes those courses have nothing to do with my job. I've got quirky tastes in my hobbies [am taking a class in Latin right now] but that's what keeps me interested. Fortunately I have great friends who put up with me. [They shake their heads often!]
2. What was the first computer you ever owned? Think it was a Commodore 64. I didn't own it as such, but it was for the whole family to use. It was really old and often didn't work very well. Finally my Dad bought a newer one but I only used it to play a space game.
3. When and how did you first get on the internet? Not sure exactly when it was but all my friends were talking about it so I needed to find out about it too. I think it was probably for email.
4. Which geek fandom do you subscribe to? Since I'm a Second Lifer, I guess that is part of my geekedness. I do watch Dr Who whenever I get a chance. Never got into Harry Potter.
5. Star Trek or Star Wars? I probably lean to either but deep down I'm more of a Trekkie.
6. How Geeky Are You? The test was fun to do. I am 59% Geek so I guess that makes me 41% Dork! I passed the link to several of my friends who think they're "normal". We'll see what happens.
Good Night for now.

Shoetopia Shopping Spree
Dear Diary:
Finally, my friend Chloe and I managed to get into the very busy Shoetopia event. The venue has been packed and we never seem to be able to enter the sim or even move once we got there. We usually shop together and always have a lot of fun doing it. When I say we shop, I mean we SHOP! So we decided to split up and meet after for coffee. We both bought lots of shoes and, the funny thing is we both bought some of the same shoes.
Just before we left, I decided to try the Gacha machines and was lucky enough to get this rare Rack prop pose. It was perfect for Chloe and I. It gave us a chance to wear some of our new shoes.
One more week for Shoetopia! The crowds seem to have thinned a bit so it's a good chance to look at all the new items - everything from stilettos to boots.
Good Night for now.

An Introspection of My Life
Dear Diary:
Berry's Monday Meme is really hard to do this week. It's difficult to analyze how you personally feel.
1. Regardless of your current number, how old do you actually feel? Wow! It seems simple but this is a difficult question for me. Age has never meant much - chronological, biological or psychological - they all seem to be different at various times of life. But I suppose I would have to say I feel like I'm in my 20's.
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Definitely never trying is worse. You might fail at the trying, but at least you know you gave it a shot.
3. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I would never live my life differently even if I had all the time in the world. My trials, my failures, my successes have made me the person I am and I wouldn't change that.
4. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I think I worry more about "doing things right". In my work, I'm a perfectionist and it's hard to change that line of thinking. But, on the other hand, I do try and do the right things when it comes to family and friends.
5. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Couldn't I be a joyful genius? My brain is important to me so "simpleton" wouldn't be me.
6. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? Yes. I can honestly say, and with a great amount of humility, say that I make a very good friend. My friends even tell me that. My friends, in all of my lives, mean a great deal to me and I don't treat their trust in me lightly. I cherish all of them, and value what they bring to the friendship.
7. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? I can't remember the last time I was truly upset. Things don't really bother me but if I do get upset, the feeling is gone within a few hours. I tend not to hang on to things like that.
OK...now I'm totally exhausted.

The Best and The Worst of It All
Dear Diary:
It's a bitter cold windy day here in the North. I want to climb under the duvet, watch television and do nothing. But of course, that can't be. This morning I got up, started the car and drove to work with the heater on full blast. Now that I'm home, I'm comfortable in my jammies...and warmer [*note* ear muffs, scarf and gloves]... answering Berry's Monday Meme.
1. Best thing about Second Life: The wonderful people I've met. I have made friendships that expand beyond Second Life.
Worst thing about Second Life: The idiots that invade my personal space; grief me and ruin my sim.
2. Best thing in your inventory: Clothes, shoes, hair, furniture, houses. Oops! Was I only supposed to name one thing?
Worst thing in your inventory: Hmmm...I deleted a lot of the real tacky things I had. I guess now it's the AK-47 Super push gun that knocks the intruder 2 sims away. I hate to admit it, but I've used it too.
3. Best earliest SL memory: Having parties on the top deck of the first house I rented. It was so much fun dancing, talking and just acting crazy.
Worst earliest SL memory: Meeting a wonderful kind woman who became my friend, who went shopping and dancing with me and then who died. At that point I realized RL does impact on SL and vice versa.
4. Best thing you learned because of SL: Learning how to take photos - posing, focusing, shadows. I'm still learning every time I take a picture but I enjoy it.
Worst thing you learned because of SL: Agree with Berry. Some people will hide behind their SL persona and feel they can be as rude or as cruel as they want to be. Makes me think they may be like this in RL too.
5. Best thing about blogging: Being able to express myself. I always wanted to be a journalist, write a book so this is certainly the best thing I've done. I've never blogged before but I found out I love it!
Worst thing about blogging: I haven't found the worst thing yet. I just love doing it. I dislike hearing that some bloggers ask for a lot of freebies. Then when they don't get the items, they bad mouth the store / designer. Very rude!
6. Best thing to have with french toast: A Canadian morning
Worst thing to have with french toast: A Canadian morning when you have to go out to scrape the windshield; try to open the frozen doors; turn on the heater; and wait until you can drive without feeling the tires are like rocks. Forget it....by then your French Toast is cold.

6. Best thing to have with french toast: A Canadian morning
Worst thing to have with french toast: A Canadian morning when you have to go out to scrape the windshield; try to open the frozen doors; turn on the heater; and wait until you can drive without feeling the tires are like rocks. Forget it....by then your French Toast is cold.
Good Night for now.

My Celebrity Look Alike.
Dear Diary:
The Monday Meme certainly kept me on the computer for HOURS last night. I took a selfie that I thought was nice looking and submitted it.
Try as I might [and I did try multiple times], it wouldn't accept it.
Hmmm...maybe it was the hair. So back to my other world....
Change of hair. Another selfie. And submit.
Well cancel THAT! Somehow I didn't think I looked like Nick Nolte! I won't put that up for scrutiny on Berry's Meme. So...*sigh*...back to that world again.
Change of hair. Another selfie. And submit.

Another Hallowe'en Post
Dear Diary:
Hallowe'en is not my favourite "big event day" but I'm enjoying posting some of the free costumes I found this year. This one really made me laugh. I think I've seen it before but I didn't pay much attention. This year I really thought it would be fun trying it out.
The costume comes with the black tee and jeans. The paper bag has two sizes and can be worn with any clothing. I think I could wear this out in my first world too.
Good Night for now.

It's HalloMeme!
Dear Diary:
Berry's Monday Meme came at a perfect time. My friend Chloe and I always take a Hallowe'en pic together so I'm using my pic from the weekend for this post.
Berry's Monday Meme came at a perfect time. My friend Chloe and I always take a Hallowe'en pic together so I'm using my pic from the weekend for this post.
1. Did you go trick or treating as a child? You bet!! That was the highlight in my neighbourhood. We would all get dressed up and go out in a group. There were 8 of us and we stuck together as a group until I was 12.
2. What was the best Halloween costume you ever saw or wore yourself? My costumes were always really special to me. I never had a "bought" costume. My Mom would gather things over the year - fake jewels, fur, flowers - and then I would wear whatever she devised to put on the outfit. So I often wore old clothes from my Dad or Mom, or even my Grandmother. Some of my friends thought that was really cool. My Mom couldn't sew very well but one year she made me a ghoul costume. I didn't really like it and neither did my friends because the made-up ones that she did were always more colourful and definitely more special.
3. What is your most vivid memory about Halloween? One year there was a new family on my block who came from Europe. The man answered the door and explained they weren't used to celebrating Hallowe'en so he had no candy. Instead he was giving out nickels. But to get that nickel, we had to sing a song. When it was my turn, I sang something I learned in school. When I was finished, the man gave me a dime because he said I might need the extra money for singing lessons. Every one of my friends could hardly walk as they were laughing so hard.
4. What is the scariest movie you have ever seen? I can't watch scary movies so I can't name one...I'll get scared even typing the name.
5. Do you ever get nightmares after watching a scary movie? My answer to #4 should be a good explanation.
6. Are you superstitious? If so, name at least one superstition of yours. I don't really have superstitions but this Hallowe'en, when handing out treats, I will never give 4...it has to be less or more...but not 4.
7. What will you be doing for Halloween this year, if anything, in SL and RL? IF I get a chance to fly into SL, I'll put on my costume and go to some party / dance with my friends. Probably in RL I'll be giving out treats at the door....oh and eating a few myself.
Good Night for now.
