It's a Wonderful Second Life 3

Another extraordinarily beautiful machinima by Sam Lowry.

my definition of virtual self-identity

Well here I am.


What does this avatar mean to the world and mean to me? Am I "Echo" or am I "Narcissus"? 


I am neither.

My self as depicted here in the world I love (SL), is a slurry of my physical being at its best and my freed inner self. I am a painting of myself. I am the things that I think are the best of me. I am a resume of my "self"


 I am not "other" than myself, but whom I am on my best hair days and the days I am most glib with words. I am comfortable and love how my avatar mirrors my inner self. My values, beliefs, and other things of importance to me are always a part of the self I hope to project to others.

Spring Day in a Mountain Meadow

It's the Sound of Sunshine Coming Down

I was taking some pics of my mountain meadow and my new hair from Exile when Michael Fanti's "The Sound of Sunshine" comes on the stream. It really adds to the feeling of spring, I wish I could get out in the sunshine, but just had a procedure done to my knee and have to be idle a few days.. what a way to spend spring break :(        I prefer the word idyllic. 

 I'm really loving this hair, I often wear my RL hair like this, ............... maybe a little less poof. Yesterday, I took all the snow off the meadow, I had been receding it over a few weeks, and spent several hours putting grasses and flowers in. The deer seem pleased with the change, too. Also Bunny reappeared, I guess he was hopping around under the snow all this time, or perhaps down a rabbit hole.

yeah, a little less poof...

What I Am Reading

I don't remember how I stumbled upon this ebook , "Your Clothing is Still Downloading", a novel set in and about SL/RL, but I'm fairly hooked 30 or so pages into it. (currently a free download) There are quite a few good insights about avatar identity and how we share this metaverse. I am intrigued by Huckleberry Hax's grasp on the intimacy of thought and being that can be shared among avatars.

Yes, this is my den, I'm reading for a change. It is a very personal space with pictures from over the years in SL and objects of meaning on the shelves, tucked under the stairs. (and aside, the bad rezzing of plants in the new Phoenix viewer - I must click on each one to correct - please fix)

Looks Like We Got Our Message Out

I could not face a day without my LOL Cats. The bills have been withdrawn. YEAH!

Night in Snow

She walks

"She walks in so many ways
She wanders lone in the shade
She shakes herself from the dust
Whispers, "All things will be silenced"


She turns but is seldom seen
Clouds burst, our eyes never meet
Ideas starting to root
Slow, as we drink from the sunshine


As you go, so I'll go
Where you stand I will stand
Stronger than the wind."




In a winter she made, in a world she dreamed, in a night where the only sound is falling snow, she walks.
