Good bye, 2010, and thanks for all the fishes!

     Two thousand and 10.   Wow.  This past year has kicked my ass seven ways to hell and back..... the fire at the house, RL, last December...ok, technically not 2010 yet, but right at Christmas time... my break up with my SL/RL bf of the time... losing my job, and being unemployed for over 11 months. 
    On the high side, I had several good months on Tidra with Franzi, who has become my best friend, et al,  before it had to close.  Coming from that was one of the best things that has happened to me in SL in a long, long time:  Derren.  We now have our homestead sim.  My SL son, Spanki is back in my world again, and that relationship is only stronger because of all that we've been through this year.I am now also employed, albeit not THAT gainfully, IRL, at a job that I actually enjoy, with employers that I genuinely like. 
    I'm ringing out the old, and bringing in the new with a renewed optimism.  Yes, things are still tough.  Yes, I think with the Republicans back in control of the House, and with a larger minority in the Senate here in the States, it doesn't bode well for the economy here or abroad, but in general, *my* lives are looking up dramatically from where I was last year at this time.
     I'm dating again, RL.  After over 11 years, I am seriously dating someone again.  Between my RL farmer, and my SL dollbaby, I think this might be the best year I've had in a long time.
     *Wishing peace, prosperity and love to all my friends, in all my worlds*

Back on a homestead!

     I gave Derren a homestead for Christmas.... well, I gave "us" a homestead for Christmas!  LOL!  We have a lovely new home on a WARM tropical island, since we both freeze all the time in RL.  My son, Spanki, has joined us there, renting just a few prims on a corner parcel.  We're all very happy... LOL!  Isn't is amazing?  When life is rough, we can go on and on... yet when things are good, I personally find it hard to put the emotions into words.  Happy New Year, Everyone!

Latest incarnation of the Kittehs' Kastle sim!  Yay! 

Just playing with the lighting.  This is just the main living area.  We also have the party areas set back up, as well as many, many little cuddle and chat niches. 

Derren's pvt. little corner.  He's such a little hippy!  LOL! This is he and Spanki surveying D's kingdom.  *grins* 

My family.... Spanki, my son, and Derren, my insignificant other. 

 :-P

(Kidding!  Love you, Sweetie!!  LOL!)

Scary, Squirrelly and Ho... or  The Three Stooges of the KK sim!  Which is which, varies daily.

LOL!

Nainai cuddles with muh kid.  :-)

Floating on dreams of the future!

Farewell

Just my last pics from Tidra.... I can't bring myself to write a lot.  It makes me cry.

Not all tears are bad, though.

These past several months have given me a new best friend, and someone to love. 

R.I.P., dear Tidra.  You have been a good friend, as well.

*Looking forward, not back*

Merry X(box)mas to my fellow gamers!

Someday.......

Someday, perhaps we will relegate religion to it's rightful, personal place in a person's life, and not in the political arena, and we WILL achieve "Peace on Earth".  I fear I won't live to see that day, but maybe there's hope for our children.  Hate the wars, support the troops at this time when they are far from home.

Grrrrr, again.....

    Ever since my Windows updated again last evening, I've been having problems staying connected to the internet.  I guess I'll do a "restore to" tomorrow, and see what happens.  Unfortunately, this meant I crapped out on my baby again last night, so went on to bed, only to be back up at 2:30 am my time.  Bleh.
    On a brighter side, I have been introduced to http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/.  Go there.  You will laugh until you cry.  Trust me on this.

     Have a lovely day, and hopefully, more sleep than I'm getting!  LOL!

Oh, just thought I'd share my horriblescoop for today......

"Circumstances of the day may result in some tricky situations for you, Scorpio. You could be caught between a rock and a hard place. The instinct to make war or peace with any given issue is making you restless. On the one hand, you may want to smooth things out in a reasonable manner. On the other, there is a part of you that is eager to declare all-out nuclear warfare."

Um..... doesn't that just mean the holiday season is upon us again?  LOL!

I have a new fave "pissed at the world" song......

Kinda sums it alllllll up sometimes!  LOL!

       Tel

(Naw, I'm actually in a pretty good mood, just missed two days of work because of fever... grrrr......)

Death of a dream.....

    As of the first of the year, Tidra will cease to exist.  Franzi's dream which had become mine will sink into the ocean one final time.  I feel partly responsible for this, though it was unavoidable, because of my RL work schedule.  I am unable to be there like I was to greet people, and conduct tours, nor do I have the funds to help any more than my rent with the tier.
    Franzi and I talked a bit last night.  Due to some problem with his computer, we had to use FB IM's... which is sad in itself.  The idea of a pvt homestead sim for him, me, River and Derren was discussed.  We'll see.  I'm a prim hog, and don't want to cause more dissention in the ranks.  *smiles a bit*  This is a tough decision for Franziskus, I know only too well.  I won't discuss his personal affairs, and that end of it, but I know how hard it was to give up the Kitteh's Kastle sim after all the work I'd put into it.  Tidra is 4 times the prims, several times the labor, and many, many times the emotional investment for him. 
   No matter what happens, or where we all end up, there have been good things come of this, to help mitigate the bad ones that caused it.  He has River now.  I have Derren.  Mine and Franzi's friendship has survived some deep blows over the past few months, and we have come out stronger for that.  THAT at least, is not in question.  Quite simply, I love him dearly, and he is my best friend.  I know that no matter what else goes down in flames, that will survive.
   So, if anyone wants a final tour of the sim, or of my estate and his pvt area floating far above, please feel free to IM me inworld, on those rare chances that I can actually get in these days.  I'd like to plan a party before the newest incarnation of the Kitteh's Kastle poofs.  Go out with a bang, and not with a whimper.  After all, for every ending, there is a new beginning, and perhaps the seeds have been sown to make the future much bigger and brighter for all.  I know that I have certainly come to terms with things in my own self over the last several months, both good and bad, and moved past them. 
    I will survive, we ALL will.  There will be tears, though, as one of the most beautiful of sims sinks beneath the waves, carrying with it dreams, disappointments, and resentments, leaving behind love and lasting friendships.  Hell, they've started already, here.

*Wishing peace to all*

(I missed you by like five minutes inworld... might be home early this evening... not sure yet!)

*Yawns*

     I am SO tired.  Heh.....  11 1/2 months not working, and then split shifts and ten hour days?  Hahaha.... I am very thankful for my job, though, and to work for such great people.  Both of the owners are really sweet, one (the female) being an accountant, which MIGHT just mean she's a bit AR at times, but has a fantastic personality.  The other one (male) is a real "restaurant" guy like myself, and knows how to work "around" her.  LOL!  We have a lot of fun at work, in spite of the down times between rushes.  This is such a lovely change of pace from my last job, which had gotten onerous to say the least the last few months I was there.   An added bonus..... her brother is gay, and the male owner used to be in gymnastics in high school/college, so has been around gay men for years.  It's nice to know that the occassional off color comment is meant as fun, and taken just as well from me, in comparison to the pure spite and nastiness that my last boss threw my way. 
    Last night, I got to spend about half an hour with my baby inworld.  That was really nice.  I always sleep better after we have our nainai chats and cuddles.  I also got to touch base with my bestie, Franzi, for a while before work yesterday morning, and his boy, River, IM'd Derren and me when he logged on, and we were logging off.  Got my SL fix in, sorta, but will be glad when Saturday night gets here, and I get to spend more time inworld..... I just hope I don't fall asleep in Derren again!  Heh.

*happy face* 

Today's Holiday Tune is one of Derren's faves.....  I hope he likes this version!

I know... I was on a Talu kick this time last year.... she IS from my original neck of the woods, and I just LOVE her.

Gay much?  Heehee!

*Off to work....Yay!!!*

For you, baby...

Love you!




Missed you tonight.  See you soon!

Kicking off the Season.........

This second one if for you, Derren.  I think you're a pretty damned good Christmas present, sweetie. *smiles*

Love, love, love me some Pomplamoose!


    I probably won't be able to update much this week, as there probably won't be a darned thing going on except RL work.  Mostly evenings, with two splits this week.  I'm gonna miss both my fellas, RL and SL, and of course my son and my bestie, and everyone else this week.  *sad face*  Hopefully it will all even out after this first full week, with advertising, and we get the kiddies trained.  Love y'all, and hope to be back on semi-regular next week!

*hugs*
   Tel

Just a quick note.....

      First an apology to my sweetie.... um..... I kinda sat down in the chair to answer the phone last night, the cat hopped on my lap, and I fell asleep.  I'll try to make it up to ya tonight, since I'm off tomorrow, and can take a nap this afternoon.  *grins a little sheepishly* 
      Second, work is physically kickin' my ass! LOL!  11 1/2 months off, and several 8-10 hours back to back shifts.... hahaha..... not quite got my "restaurant legs and back" reinstated completely yet.  OMG, I am so sore.... lol.  Derren, I think I'll need more than a wing massage this evening, sweetie.  :D

OK, time for work.... just wanna share this cute vid.... everyone knows that I'm an atheist, but I still appreciate the great music, secular or religious, of the past.  This made me smile, and I hope it does the same for you!



*Have a great day, kiddies!*

*Happy Dances in BOTH Worlds!*

OK, so first the RL news......
    The boss lady came in this morning, and with a very stern look on her face, said "Come to the office with me".  OK, given the complete and utter random bullshit I had to cope with at my last job, I was like, "Le sigh... wtf did I do NOW?".  I follow her into  the office, she's sits me down, and tells me I've recieved a promotion and a two dollar an hour raise, after only two training sessions, one pvt luncheon, and one day open to the public.  THEN she tells me "I want you to know just exactly how happy Erin (business partner) and I are with you, and that we could not have opened this fucking place so successfully without you here."
    Let me tell you, after the crap I put up with the last three months at my last job last year, I damned near burst into tears, and those of you that know me RL, know that's not me.  To hear someone say that you are GOOD at your job, after a long time being made to doubt yourself, is one of the best feelings in the world.  Having them PROVE it to you financially, and with responsibility, just sweetens the icing on the cake. 


OK, the SL news.... this little cartoon that Derren drew kinda sums it all up.  Yes, it's official.  He is no longer my "not yet a SL bf", but in a GOOD way.  :-)

It also pretty much captures some of our conversations.  LOL!

*Just grinnin' in both worlds*

Tel

Interesting......

     We worked (trial run) situation at the new restaurant last evening for four hours.  Everyone made one thing off the menu.  Only about 4 of us have any experience.  I go back in at 9 this morning.... we are feeding the local muckety-mucks... about three HUNDRED of them.  This should be fun..... lol!
      On a brighter note or two... everyone (except one that I'm reserving judgement on.... I've worked with her before).... is really nice, and eager.  AND the best part, at least this first week, I am on 9-5 the rest of the week, off on Sunday... so I'll get SOME time with a certain someone of the evening, hopefully!  Yay!!!
(That's 6am-2pm SLT, btw). 
       Have a great day, kiddies!

Lost in our own little world.....

     Yesterday was interesting, to say the least.  I got a group notice from Tizzy, over at ::TT Designs:: about an upgrade to her bed engine, and hopped over to check it out.  Noticing that there wasn't a medieval/castle type version available, only very modern ones, and that she was on sim at the time, I IM's her about future releases.  This led to one of the longest "AV tag games" in my SL history... LOL!
     She offered to upgrade my current one, but since the positioning, etc. would be different, it would take a while.  OK, no problems... I"m not SLexually active (yet) atm anyway, right?.... welll........ I had to log off for a bit.  When I came back, she was afk..... for hours.  LOL!  Derren meanwhile logged on, and we were in IM, when Franzi IM'd me wanting me/us to come to the OOC dance at Tabor.  Well, I didn't want to be away from Tizzy's sim, as I had all kinds of difficulties getting there in the first place, so I opted to tp Derren to me, where we ran through the poses (fully dressed!  Give me some credit!) on the demo beds.  These are simply amazing.  50 menus with over 520 poses!  Wow!
    Anyway, this was observed intently by a two day old noob.   Poor fella.  He tried to hard to get that three way menu, while Derren and I were giggling our asses off in IM.  Finally, I decided to pop it up for him, just for the hell of it, but he ran off.  However, Derren DID get one good shot.  Heh.

Ok, so it's raunchy, but it was funny as hell!

     Well, after about an hour, I pulled Tabor up on the map, and saw it fairly empty so guessed we'd missed the dance.  All this while I had been IM'in Tizzy, but w/o response.  Just as we were ready to jump to his or my place one, Spanki IM'd me about a nekkie beach party.  Well, since I haven't talked to my kid in a while, and wanted him and Derren to meet, I asked, D agreed, and we went.  That was fun, and went really well.  After that was over, we tp'd to my place for a hot bath, and a long talk.  That was the highlight of the evening, of course.  Our "alone and yakking" times have brought us much closer.

     Well, after his boy had logged off, Franzi had visitors "down below".  Perhaps some of the best RP of his life.  (NOT! LOL!)  Needless to say, the IM's were fast and furious, with him wanting to join us in the tub, so I could drown him.  Ha!  When he finally tp'd up for nekkie nainai's, he offered Derren a bow to shoot him.  Pffffft!  We were laughing so hard.  After he logged, Derren and I tp'd to his new place, said hi to the kittens, and said our nainai's.  It's gonna be hard to find time together this week, as both our RL's are gonna be hectic, but where there's a will, there's a way, right? 

      All in all, it was one of the best SL days I've had in a long time.  Oh, and btw, Tizzy had fallen asleep on the couch, RL, and finally got back to me.  Can't wait to try that bed out sometime.  Now... if I could just find someone else willing.......   (Grins... I KNOW you'll read that!  HAHAHAHA!)

Finally, the night ended just as peacefully as it had begun hectically.  Gotta love days like that, eh?

Just freakin' great.....(RL post)

   So, I move the furniture around in the living room, and go to get the Xmas stuff out.  It's in a closet that only has it, and my very best clothing in it.  I notice a wet sweater collar.  I look up.  Half the ceiling is collapsed, and there is black mold everywhere.
   Gone..... over 3500$ (that's what the insurance estimate was originally, when I took the policies out) of antique family (irreplaceable, and either now with paint peeling or was cloth or paper) ornaments.  Gone.... a large collection of antique European paper ornaments from the late 19th century.  Gone.... about that amount of clothing.  Armani tux.... black mold.  ALL my cashmere sweaters... black mold.  Brand new winter coat, bought when I was working a decent job last year at end of seaon, never worn... black mold.  All my old college and high school memorabilia.. (diplomas, clothing, cap and gown, etc.) ruined or black mold. 
  No sign of roof damage (it's tin, and only about five years old), and I can't see inbetween my house and mom's where the damage is, as that's the end where there is only a 4" air space, and it's sealed.  Can't even get the insurance guys here until Monday, when I am to supposed to have my final training session at the new job.  Just Freakin' Great!

Happy Freakin' Holidays.... I can't take a whole lot more bullshit this year!

The Fear.......(Second Life post, with a RL footnote)

     I've been spending a lot of time with someone special lately.  We've gotten very close, and yet are proceeding in a slow, pre-meditated fashion, writing and laying down in stone the rules as we go along.  It's quite comfortable.  We laugh.  Laughter is a good thing, and has been in short supply the past couple of months.....
     Last night we went to Immersiva..... Bryn Oh's amazing sim where she makes most of her machinimations.  Her work, whether her builds, her poetry, her filming style, whatever.... are a bit dark and dissonant, but there is a *small* thread of hopefulness for something better in all of them.  They *speak* to my soul on a very deep level, even though the sim itself has changed a bit since my last visit.  The starting point to "The Rabbicorn" story is now in a small cave, rather hidden under the giant snake-like bones that cover about 80% of the sim, and the tower and vids for "Daughter of Gears" are there, of course, the main theme of the sim.  Look EVERYWHERE if you go there.  There are vid links, and other surprises everywhere..... and yeah, it's a pain in the butt the first time, but DO make sure you reset your sky settings as she recommends.  I saved them, and used them elsewhere.... kinda neat.
     Anyway, back on topic..... I haven't had a "romance" in a while, but this vid of Bryn's kinda sums it up.  (I think it was her first machinima, and not as perfect as her current ones, but it's simplicity *works* for me.)


      I've been hurt.  He's been hurt.  This will take a while, but, as this Moby song says...."Wait for me."



     It is scaring the hell out of me, and I wouldn't trade it for all the pixels in the world, right now.  *smiles*

(End Second Life Transmission..... signing off.)

____________________________________________________________________

(Begin Real Life Transmission..... signing on.)

     Well, I officially start training at the new job Friday.  I *think* I'll have this one last weekend free, then we have another intensive training session Monday evening, and Tuesday we open for an invitation-only lunch for local business people, the Mayor, etc.  (Which, as middle management, is kind of good for me, since I know all of the folks from having been in the biz here for years.... lol)  I am not positive of my schedule, yet, and it will probably be flexible. *le sigh... I'm a creature of habit, and would LOVE a set schedule again, but at this point, it's a job, right?  Not that many of them out there these days!  This will eat into my SL time greatly, but RL has to come first.   The worst part, though, is that I think I'll be working mostly evenings and weekends, which is when my SL closest friends are on.  They understand the necessity, of course, but I will miss talking to them daily.  Ah, well, we all know several ways to contact each other.

     Here's a humorous note.... when my RL "not yet a boyfriend" is over, and I'm on SL, he asks me to say Hi to my SL "not yet a boyfriend" for him, and vice versa.  I find that not only amusing, but incredibly sweet and understanding, knowing how so many people have to "hide" their SL from their RL partners, etc.  I know that SL has broken up relationships RL before, and also the reverse.  We had our first fight last week, which had nothing to do with SL, and we survived it, and it only strengthened our feelings.  I think I'll keep this one around a while. *Smiles contentedly*     

Here's a great cover of one of my fave Lily Allen songs.... just thought I'd pass it along!

Clubbing With Derren.....

    Finally!  I have been needing a Hotlanta Blues Club fix.  Badly.  Derren and I finally just took an evening, and went there.  Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead!  LOL!
    As usual, I don't have the SLurl handy, but it's the Hotlanta Blues Club, located high above the sim Northfarthing, which was Tel's first home on SL.  The owner, DonPaul Cale, who is still a wonderful friend, owns both the sim and the club.  Hotlanta is one of the busiest clubs of its kind in SL, but the sim below, being medieval in nature, is also quite unique.  DP, or "Boss" as I still call him, is a graphics person IRL, and has several really nice builds on the themed part of the main sim.  Please check it out, before you hit the club!

 Derren mentioned how nice it was to couples dance.  I quite agree.

 Until this happens.  LOL!  I think he tripped over my big clumsy feets!

 It is fun to dance "together" for a change, and not just "in synch" on a chim.

Although, sometimes, one looks like one has just been hit by a run away bus.  I think I have a broken rib in this picture, and obviously, I spun him too hard and dislocated his right shoulder.  *snickers*

          Ah, back to, well, as normal as the two of us could be!  LOL!!  It really was a lovely evening!

And now, for tonight's "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!" shot:

Those are Derren's kittehs in his skybox.  They are adorable.  They chase each other, fall asleep, tease each other, play ball, love on ya, etc.... They are very cute.  I will not buy one.  Or two.  I will just go there to see them.  I will get my "awwww" fix there.  I will not buy one.  I will not buy one.  I will not buy one............. 

*GRINS* 

(yet)

Sebastian, there will be NO little kittens running around the Kastle anytime soon.

Stop looking at me like that... no.  Stop it.  Oh, look at that sweet face..... he's so cute!  No. No. NO.

 NONONONONONO.

From a Photo Shoot I did last night (and some other stuff)

  Ok, here are the first "off home sim" Seasonal pics!  I just KNOW that y'all have been waiting for these... c'mon... admit it.... Morning isn't complete w/o a look at my blog and a cuppa Joe!  ROFL! (Kidding... I'm not REALLY that arrogant!  Y'all can do w/o the coffee!  HAHAHAHAHAHA!)

This tree, when I got to the sim to do the photoshoot, nearly made me shit my pants.  It is simply exquisite.  It's ALSO 246 prims, and 9K L$!  There is a smaller version, for the same price, but it is 257 prims!  Go figure! Guess I won't have one of them all that soon, eh? 

I want this Santa to put out with my reindeer in front of the Kastle.  Only three prims. I couldn't find it for sale anywhere, though.  *sad face*

This is the only "professional shot" from the evening that I asked for permission to post.  I like to leave those for the clients, right?  I just loved the "peacefulness" of this one so much, after all the drama I've dealt with lately.  This really put me back into a mellow frame of mind. 

After the shoot, Derren, who had joined me about half way through, and I went "hopping" to look for other places "in the Spirit".  For those that like a more fantasy/modern style.... this is neat! 

Yeah, I know.  I'm the worst at providing SLurl's.  The name of the sim is in the pic titles, though. 

I suppose it's because I'm a mid-Westerner in the US in RL, and grew up with the traditional "Currier and Ives" type Christmas' as a kid, but for some reason, Xmas sculptures and palm trees STILL kind of throw me off a bit.  LOL!

We sat and talked for about 45 minutes, trying to figure out these floating chairs in the last sim we visited.  All we could come up with was that they were either A: Left from the pre holiday build.  or B:  Just so people would sit and talk about why there were two chairs and a floating wine bottle above the snowmen.  LOL!

___________________________________________________________________

After a bit of chatting, Derren had to go nainai, because of the time difference.  I hopped back home to catch up some paperwork, and took a couple more shots of the Kastle interior. 

Hey, you can't be medieval ALL the time you know.  Sometimes you gotta watch soft core porn on YouTube!~ Heehee!

Just catching up some paperwork.  XD

Ah, finally the evening was over.  I was freezing, and decided a nice long hot bath was just the ticket to relax and warm up...... ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

Another Picture Post!!!.....

The "Grand Hall" at the Kastle

Just some stuff "seen around the scene" here at the start of the Holiday Season.... I have been postponing decorating, but my willpower became exactly "zero" the first time that my new "li'l buddy" Derren had me over after he'd partially decorated his place.  Hope ya'll enjoy! (This will more than likely be an ongoing theme for the next two months.... deal with it!  LOL!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

First, some pics in and around the Kitteh's Kastle and the Valley (residential area above Tidra):

The main sitting area in the Grand Hall. 

Reverse shot.   

These little friends showed up to play in the snow in front of the Kastle.  Heehee. 

Franzi set these outside the new "skating rink".  Cute, huh? 

Franzi turned our pond/swimming pool into an ice rink for the season.  Pretty kewl, eh? 

Another shot of the ice rink, duh.  LOL!

No matter whether you celebrate Yule, Christmas, or just Winter.... it's almost upon us.  May you all be blessed this joyous Season, and let's all hope it GETS WARM AGAIN SOON, DAMMIT!  LOL!!!

Just a couple of shots before the snow collapsed the roof on the Kastle

Talkin' with my Sis, Osiloa, owner of Club Industry.  My "Bunneh Bootay!", the inimitably hetero Heltir, and a shot of the inside of the club.  It was a slow night, but really fun!  Derren joined me there later when he logged on.

Freki had already crashed, but this was the day of my first (and probably last, unfortunately) OOC dance at Tabor.  It was a lot of fun.  I'm sorry I'd not gotten to go in the past.  Tidra was a true team that day, and we put them all to shame.  Mamba, River,Franzi and moi.

*Peace*
