Annual Second Life New Year's Resolutions List For 2013

My annual Second Life New Year's Resolutions List for 2013





It's about that time if year again.  If you are interested in my past 2 years of resolutions you can find them here: http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2010/12/sl-new-years-resolutions-in-making.html  and here: http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2011/12/karas-annual-second-life-new-years.html.  It seems I get earlier and earlier each year with these.  Personally I still like last years best and probably will still work on those too, since of course I never do keep any for more than a few days.  Here we go....

1)  Don't sweat the little things, or the griefers, or beggar bots as it's not worth the frustration or time.

2) Enjoy my inner child, and fairy, and man, and monster, and so forth.

3) Download and use the new Firestorm at all times.

4)  Organize and minimize my inventory (same as every year and never happens) Ok, maybe this should be a honest attempt to get it below 150,000.

5) Remember to wear alpha under my dresses.... last year it was panties.

6)  Stop stalking loved ones and mind my own business.

7) Make a list and remember friends rez and birthdays.

8) Stop chastising myself for being non-productive and just enjoy the down time from a busy RL.

9) Thank people more for visiting my projects and blogs, for without them I'd be talking to and playing with myself  even more often, and we all know there is enough of that going on in SL.

10) Align my eyelashes again, and again, and again... oh, maybe this should actually be to stop changing my shape daily.

11) Stop fussing at LL for making shitty toes and relax and enjoy the amazing pair of bare mesh feet I finally found and love. 

12) Find, join, and attend SL "Hoarders" (see #4 above) and "Crazy moody lady" support groups.

13) Learn something....there is so much for me to learn I won't limit this to what I will learn.

14) Remember some people have a NEED to breed and that is OK for them and their various breedable pets, objects, babies, clothes, etc., and besides it makes a lot of money for someone.

15) Keep an open mind about mesh.

16) Remember to check the "received" box before panicking or curing Marketplace again.

Now, what is YOUR New Year's Resolution?

Christmas Town--A Great Explore

Laura Liberty made a very cute Christmas town with this amazing skate trip through time and movies.  I love it.  She has free skates there which I neglected to put on before turning on my camera.  Sorry it's so choppy but my computer doesn't like me theses days and I'm getting a new one for Christmas on January 10th.  Anyway.. you get the idea about how cool the sim is.  Some of my friends who joined me and are glimpsed in the video include Valiant Westland, Sonicity Fitzroy and Belinda Barnes.

Burn 2 October 20-28th, 2012 -Fertility

Burn 2 is coming October 20-28th, 2012.  "This year's theme is "Fertility." Echoing the theme of the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City (http://www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/bm12_theme.html), this year's theme explores fertility within the lens of our virtual event."

 I was lucky to get in early for the press day and grab a few pics and play around a little.  This is always a fun event and I could see this year will be great.

Their press release states in part  ..."BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of Second Life. It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, and the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups.

The BURN2 Team operates events year around, culminating in an annual major festival of community, art and fire in the fall - a virtual echo of Burning Man itself.

This year's theme is "Fertility." Echoing the theme of the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City (http://www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/bm12_theme.html), this year's theme explores fertility within the lens of our virtual event."

Additional press info. states, "  - This is the third year for the BURN2 event, carrying on the traditions of Burning Man (and the former Burning Life event) within a virtual space as its own own entity.

 - It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups, and the ONLY Regional to burn the Man.

 - The 2012 event has expanded to six regions, growing beyond the four available regions in 2010 and 2011.

 - We have more than 100 builders and artists that have created this years community event."

There is also always a lot of fun and dance and about the entertainment they note: "We will be offering entertainment from over 40 Live acts and 50 DJs from across SL. We even have a literary camp for spoken word events!"
