Inventory-Another Berry's Monday Meme

When I saw Berry's meme was about inventory and this recent kick everyone is on to minimalism or at least cleaning out inventory (yeah yeah I know it's good for everyone if we keep them clean) I sort of froze up a little and for the first time felt like I should not admit how big my inventory is. I HATE to waste my SL time cleaning it, therefore I have demos, notecards from forever ago, old dead landmarks in multiple copies, etc.  Grrrrrr.   So as I look down at my inventory is says 642 hehe.. it's still loading.  I'll copy Berry's meme questions over here while I wait for the load.  Hers is here: http://strawberrysingh.com/2013/08/11/inventory-meme-liquid-mesh/#commentlist

"Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the questions and answers below, delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to leave a comment with your link so I can come by and read it!

1. What is your current inventory number?
2. If you had to delete your whole inventory and could only keep one thing, what would it be?
3. What is the last thing you purchased?
4. Which item do you wear most often?
5. When you search for the word penis, how many items pop up?"

Ok, so the first thing that crosses my mind is on #5 like ummm imagining a male blogger reading this and they begin thinking about Berry searching for penis'... NOW how many penis' are popping up in their inventory AND RL???  Does that make me a bad person?

So she said no lying.. here we go:
1. Looks down.... still loading

2. OMG!.. You seriously can ask a SL hoarder that question?  Pass.. Ok, I'll try.. um... hmm. I really thought about this. There are many things I like so much better than others, but I can't even think of one thing that totally stands out as a must have.  I like a lot and many things not so much (those are probably the things I should ditch asap.. prob wont happen though.)  I don't really have good folders made up, so I can't cheat on my blog like Berry did on her own saying she'd keep her hair folder.  (JK Berry, it's your meme.... you can cheat all you want ~grins~)


So then just off the top of my head hmm still can't think of something extra special.  I LOVE a lot, I like a lot, and I also dislike a lot in there.  I have to say I really like my "It's A Trap" t-shirt, although it's not even mesh and I've had it forever, but the maker gave me full perms when they stopped selling them and allows me to give them away to friends or do what I want with them, so it's sorta special to me. (If anyone wants one just ding me inworld and let me know) So I'll choose that. I was thrilled when Molokai (seiki.amaterasu) of PoisonApple gave it to me that way. 
Trap shirt works for male or female and is mod, so can adjust the waist and sleeve lengths etc., and no I don't have on my normal skin in this pic, that I talk about here.

After I decided on this shirt then a friend got back with me that I had IM'd asking that question of them earlier when I first started typing here,  since I really couldn't think of anything uber special initially, just to sort of see what others think, and they said.... a pic they have of them and their partner on their wedding day.  That's pretty humbling.. I don't have one like that.  Grrrr now I'm a bit annoyed and jealous and all, feeling a bit sorry for myself and feeling a bit like I didn't think of something really special like that. Ok, well maybe I should just ditch my entire inventory and start from scratch.  I would be much lighter and it's always fun to shop, so I'm sure I'd fill up quick enough.  Maybe I need to try to make some special picture with someone special that I want to keep forever and ever??  Who would that be??   Moving on.....

3. Not a clue. I haven't bought anything yet tonight. Maybe it was that Diesel works snake prop before my little weekend vacation.  Anyway,  I might not even buy anything tonight, I'm still sleepy from a big weekend otherwise if I do I'll add it here.

4. My main skin. Also I like to wear the same couple of Dela hair, so guess that is worth mentioning.

5. 13 plus a gesture that is in the trash.  (see at some point I actually did put something in the trash) These include things mostly from bachelorette parties such as sippy cup type things, hover bike, cake etc.

1.  Ok, inventory loaded,, back to #1.
/me whispers meekly 210,216
Shoot me now.. whatever. Now no one will want to stand next to me for fear of lag and crash .... Thanks

PS... at least I don't shop and spend as much in RL now that I can get a shopping fix in SL.

 I will end my blog with a repeat of this video I have blogged about before, since I so love it.  No, I didn't make it, but I wish I could take credit for it.  It's hilarious to me.   Stuff has been disabled for it so I can no longer pull it directly over here to blogger, but please if you want a laugh check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLK-_hWIfWc&list=PL6raEOnEaboND_NCwt_m4LX8SmQQnJztp
And if you just let it run after it's done.. the next one that comes in is super funny too, maybe even funnier...... fodder for many more blog posts really.

Ok,,, ONE MORE PS... I got to talking about that picture the friend said they'd keep, and started wondering a bit more about what ONE THING others would keep.  I think this is a question that could stand alone.  I'd LOVE to hear what all my SL friends would keep if they could only keep one thing from their inventory.  Maybe though that is because I'm nosey.... or as I like to say, curious.

UWA Art and Machinima Awards

UWA ART AND MACHINIMA AWARDS

http://issuu.com/freeweeling/docs/uwa_siva_2.1_-_reflections

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx6Ae1YLTqw&feature=player_embedded

Ok, today I went to the UWA art and machinima awards where Jayjay Zifanwe presented winners in various categories for over 1 million L.  I think there were about a million people attending at the tri-sim area to watch and and par for a good event, one or two of the sims crashed at least once I think or maybe it was just me, but I heard someone say a sim went down once when I went out.  No worries, it was all on AViewTV too where you can probably still catch a re-run of it. Anyway, it was great to see such a good turnout and all the talent.   I will start with saying that I was one of the audience participation award winners in the art challenge.  I'm listing most the winners (worth it for over 1million L) so I hope I don't miss anyone or something important.  Huge thanks to Jayjay and UWA.   Woohoo.. check it out:

Jasper Eel Designs

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Vespeira/128/128/22
and here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Praslin%20Seychelles/128/128/22

One of my new friends Jasper Eel is a talented Jewelry maker.  His store is call Jasper Eel Designs.  The jewelry is just beautiful. He got into the business initially for fun and made a Relay for Life Set. The business materialized and now he has two shops.  One in Vespeira in a cool shopping area near the awesome club Rewind.  The other is on Seychelles near the Guitar Museum, and Live Musician's Organization, also a great location with cool things around.  Check them out.

Jasper humbly provided his advertisement photographer's and pose maker's names wanting to give them credit for their assistance.  Mishey Mactavish did the ads and Reece Latoe did the poster about the jasper stone.  Peter Jackson provided the poses.  I found this all interesting as I am also friends with Mishey and Peter, and know them both to be generous people.   Small world. 

The jasper stone info. was very interesting and I asked if Jasper knew all that when he picked his SL name.  He said, no he just recently got into jewelry making and it all seemed to fit, but he didn't previously know or think of this when he came in to SL and just got into jewelry making as a hobby to compliment and not conflict with a friend's building  business in the past.

(I ran over and snapped a couple of shots of this amazing amphitheatre while Jayjay Zifanwe was setting up)

The Library

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sultry%20Night/128/128/19








I've visited "The Library" in SL a few times since I'd heard it was a great build with intelligent conversation and frisky fun times.  I snapped a few shots of it early on and then a bit of the group during an event 8-1-13. More than 20 people showed up for the "One Sentence Paranormal Romance Story" event.  Being the shy and proper person that I am, I took a friend along for moral support in this sophisticated yet sexually charged environment that is somewhat new to me. 

The Library hosts various events and this one was possibly as interesting to watch as it might have been to participate.  The group enjoys book and poetry readings usually, ok I think always, of the erotic type, exchange interesting group chatter and meet up for drinks, convos and "other things" at regularly scheduled and impromptu times en group or as couples or individuals. 

This night the event was a planned shared story telling experience whereby the first person started the story and the next added to it and around it went that way.  There was no telling where the next person was going to take the tale but it seemed to manage to carry a story that included all the elements of the projected romance/sex, paranormal, and even held a lose plot and ending.  Of course I was an observer as I was busy blogging at the time... yeah.. that was my excuse for being the voyeur that I am while not fully participating.  Of course full participation is always optional so others also stood around listening to the story unravel.  Anyway, remember I had company who had not visited The Library before, so it would have been rude of me not to give him a full tour.  O yeah.. and it was mostly new to me too so we checked it out properly so that I could blog about it in a knowledgeable fashion. 

The Library info. comes with a cool background story, that I won't give away, but it can be found at the landing zone.   Members are to have upscale attire, current skins, and act and look appropriately.  Guests of patrons are welcome in ~The Library~ at any time but may not be able to use the teleporter or some of the furniture, so you may want to join up to have the full experience. The general landing area has a lot of info.  The furniture and "props" have some of the more fluid, extensive, and quality animations loaded that I have seen in SL... er... I mean.. so I've been told. 

The Library is owned by Jett Roxan and his profile states: "I am the owner of  this members only Library themed space... the Library sets the tone for Intelligent conversation and sexual role playing in a sophisticated adult environment." 

There is a writing cage in the hidden boiler room in the lower level where people can sit and write, and share their short stories by passing them in, thus making them available for others to read at their leisure, once they've been added to the "books" laying around.  The writers then gain a special title for their contribution. I'm quite sure some of the things in that room could be very inspirational.

There are several levels to this Library including:
UPSTAIRS: 
The primary gathering area, designed for intelligent conversation in local chat. The truthball on the coffee table is filled with questions to get things started.
THE BASEMENT LIBRARY: 
A smoky but rich room with high quality aged furniture and a lived-in look.  
THE FURNACE ROOM:
For those darker moments. A room, connected to the basement filled with tasteful BDSM/forced
equipment. 
THE HIDDEN LIBRARY:
The Hidden Library has just a few more nooks and crannies for fun.
THE HIDDEN BEDROOM:
Just through the hidden library is a just a quiet beautiful space with a bed. 

All in all a very interesting evening. Check it out some time if this sounds like something you would like.

#HASHTAGSECONDLIFE

 

So I was sitting there pondering some weird hashtags, overuse, and funnies, and my mind wandered, and yes I know they are so last year, but I couldn't help but think up a few for SL. I'm thinking it needs to be made into a song.
