“Unable to connect to Real Life.  Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong.”

Many residents chose to share their RL info and that’s fine… for them.  But I can’t stand it when you do in fact fill in that spot with the limited info you want to share and people just probe for more.

I think maybe the only important fact that belongs there is gender.  I’ve heard many people falling into a relationship with an avi only to find out later that they are of the same sex… devastating it may be.  But even in filling out that spot doesn’t guarantee that it’s true.

I think I’ve filled mine in with something funny (see above)… cuz that’s just me, but to important people that I deal with on a daily basis I do feel the need to prove my gender, only for trust purposes… but that’s all!! (shhhhhh)

The name of the game is Second Life… why is my First Life so important?  If I fill that spot in with limited info… that clearly means THAT’S ALL I WANNA SHARE!!  Then of course comes that irritating question… “why?”  Am I really supposed to answer that?  Do I NOT have the right to NOT disclose shit that I don’t want known?  Lol, but have no fear… being the person that I am I firmly stand by the right that I DON’T HAVE TO ANSWER SHIT!!!!

Bring Back My Wallet… Please!!!

With all the new changes going around with SL’s new website and Xstreet blending in nicely, there’s still one feature missing. I have linden… why can’t I move my linden from my account to my shopping account? The people that hang around the terminals scare me!! Not everyone shops on Xstreet while simultaneously logged in to SL.. hence the need for um “Favorites”, so the purpose of teleporting to a terminal to add linden can be somewhat annoying at times… especially if you aren’t at your own personal computer.

Also, I thought shopping was about convenience. I was a big fan of OnRez when it was available. The convenience and luxury of just rezzing my wallet from the foand adding linden was just “da shit!”. Um when can we have that back??

I know I know… there’s always Paypal… but you can’t transfer funds on the uncensored site. Also, sometimes ya just don’t wanna do that either.

Lol just bring back the wallet and no one’ll get hurt… aight????

*UPDATE* Lol upon writing this post, I didn’t realize that Xstreet does in fact offer a method of adding Lindens from your account to the shopping balance. DUHHH!!

This really cool product called Xstreet SL Remote Deposit does exactly what I need!! Lol and the description rocks.

This little wonder will let you deposit Lindens into your Xstreet SL account without even logging into Second Life! It’s especially handy for people who:

Shop from work (only on breaks, right?)

Day-trade our currency exchange

Can’t log in to Second Life (if you’re using a public computer for instance)

Rely on Second Life for First Life income

To use it, just keep it rezzed in Second Life. Once you’ve done that, you will see a Deposit link next to your SLL balance in the My Xstreet section of the website. Enter the amount, verify your password for security, and you’re done!

Then of course… the cons. According to the reviews (yeah I read reviews!) the processing time can take long.

Thanks Miro for filling me in on the deets!!! Now see… if I hadn’t posted this… I wouldn’t have learned anything!!! XD

The Misappropriation of Fun

I start out with a heavy sigh…. *sighs* followed by a loud ass WTF!!!!!

For the past few days I’ve been killing my friend Jana’s ear (or eyes for that matter) with the bullshit that men have been getting away with recently. When the fuck did men turn into such whiny bitches??? (I totally missed the memo)

I have friends… male friends… I’m gonna have male friends… my male friends have male friends, my males friends friends have male and femals friends, lol.. just a little noise to break the monotony. But by the thought of the whole girl & boy plutonic no-no relationships (meaning that they can’t be done), I seem to have been placed into a category of “wanted and willing”… meaning, if given the chance, I’ll fall for whatever bullshit line a guy throws at me. NOT!

Rules are… there are no rules, only respectable limits and boundaries that one sets for themselves. I have never hidden the fact that I am a flirt (hi, my name is Marva, and I’m a flirtoholic)… maybe this needs further clarification.

1. I am a humerous, respectable flirt
2. If I’m with you… I’m with you (END OF STORY)
3. There will always be other people flirting, trying, wanting, doing things to annoy the shit out of the person I’m with… handle it like a trooper but give me the time and space to handle it as well.
4. DO NOT interrogate me on the actions of the person that’s getting on ur fuckin nerves. DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THEM OR ELSE I’LL TEASE YOU ABOUT HOW MY BALLS ARE BIGGER THAN YOURS!!! Why hold me accountable for shit I didn’t do or even come up with?

One of the things that I strongly despise… is being questioned repeatedly about “why someone did this” or “why someone did or said that”. How the hell should I know? I have a hard enough time dealing with my own thought process.

Furthermore… don’t ya just LOVE the people who view SL as some kind of dating service? What happened to the whole fun part of it? I mean… yeah, who doesn’t like being on SL and at times spending it with someone you really care about… but every single hour, minute, second, milisecond? <— is that a word? =P

Ok, I think I’ve calmed down a bit…

Where in the Grid?

For the LIFE of me I can’t understand why Linden Labs won’t provide SLurls or LM’s for their amazing locations on the Second Life log in screens.

Primitive City

I’m sure many of you have seen the above login screen. It killed me not knowing where this was because I NEEDED TO BE THERE!! Thanks to an interesting search on Flickr and an informative post by Petr Vanbeeck I can happily say I’ve visited!

Resident Torey has provided a Flickr set so that we residents who long to visit these amazing locations can finally find out where they are!!!!

I don’t get to read up on things much… I blame myself for that. But I’m glad to see such public awareness made on Flickr through the residents and imagery from SL.

I came across this powerful image and had to educate myself on the topic. I mean we know of it’s existence, but to have it in your face forces you to feel something and possibly get off your ass and do something as well.

Model Material

Jennifer skin by STAGED, originally uploaded by ~Marva Cee~™.

For the longest time I’ve had a weird opinion of models. Having tried modeling in RL and being rejected because of my height I became less interested and formed a somewhat negative opinion of modeling and agencies. Who knew the same applied in SL, but I’m learning that it’s not so bad and easier to be more versatile.

In the above image…. that is SOOOOO not me. Lol I don’t even like the look, but for the sake of modeling it had to be worn. Lemme rephrase… I don’t like the look on ME.

Like I said… I’m still trying to understand the game a bit, but I am understanding it a bit more… and since I can’t edit my appearance drastically in RL, maybe I can learn to “play by the rules” in SL and just accept and go along
