December. The last month of the year, typically making me look back and reflect on real life and Second Life. Going through my files filled with pics of locations, events and all that…I stumbled upon an online karaoke session and recording I did with Ratt, a dear friend, who left Second Life years ago, but…

Stop.Reset.Breathe – A reply-post
My friend Beth has gone through a rough Second Life summer and today she posted an article on her blog, explaining why she has reset her Second Life past and purged her Flickr, virtually erasing a couple of months. I think we, Second Life residents, can relate to that. Second Life is, for most, not…
Just say ‘yes’
“It has been too long since we’ve met, I am glad I finally have some time for a chat. You are my best friend and I am sorry for having been so quiet, I have missed you so, so much. And because you are important to me I would love to have you sitting on…
Reciprocal
Reciprocal, one of those words I cannot pronounce out loud without breaking my tongue. Admitting the Dutch word for it (wederkerig) is so old-fashioned, I doubt anyone born before 1960 knows what it means! Why this pondering over a word I cannot pronounce properly and which is so out of date in my native language?…
Honest
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters” ― Albert Einstein The other night I was inworld, listening to my own playlist on iTunes and posing for some pictures – just for the fun of it. It relaxes me. In the right of my screen was one of…
Ketchup or…Watskeburt!?
You know that feeling, you go on about your life and stuff and one day it is summer and the next it’s autumn and some weeks have passed by? I’ve had a couple of those weeks lately, those weeks I had all kind of plans and before I knew it, it wasn’t Monday anymore but…
Show your Halloween Spirit
Yes. A post about Halloween. By me. Shocking eh? Since I am probably one of the very few in Second Life who does not particularly like or even care about Halloween much. Anyway! Linden Lab announced in a blogpost by Xiola Linden, a call for photos depicting your Halloween Spirit. They will choose some of…
When life gives you pears!
Over the past years I started some groups on Flickr – with themes. Just for fun, so people could add their photo’s that fitted in the same theme and so create some wonderful collections for all to enjoy. While it was fun at first, it became a burden – specially the past 2 years. Oh,…
Maybe that is why
the old man could not remember and didn’t recognize any of his children, nor his wife except the little pup his daughter brought on visits he knew her name and her favourite treats maybe that’s why when the old man went on his last journey the pup, just like that, traveled with him so he…
‘Just take a seat, they’re always free’
Summer in Second Life is, for me usually ‘the lonely season’ and this year it seems worse than ever. It’s okay, I guess. I’ve gotten used to the sound of an incoming IM and it being from some disappointing group-chat instead of a friend, but hey hoo: my friends will return from their vacations and…
When numbers mean nothing
For ages I have been in doubt as to write a blogpost on this, a rather personal real life thing I learned to live with and which, on a daily basis, affects me and also my Second Life. Just because it is something I deal with every day. The last thing I want is a…
Love is all around
No matter what happens, it is often good to be reminded of the good things in life. Like, love. Last Saturday I attended the wedding of Dee and Skip (delinda.dench and skip.staheli) and was honoured to be a guest at the romantic ceremony – Ibiza beach style, dresscode was ‘white’) and it was ever so…
Tell me, how does it feel
‘How does it feel to treat me like you do?’ ‘And I thought I was mistaken, and I thought I heard you speak Tell me, how do I feel Tell me now, how should I feel Now I stand here waiting’ ‘Tell me how does it feel, when your heart grows cold, grows cold, cold’
The greatest love of all
‘I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I’ll live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can’t take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of…
Oh, these miss you nights….
‘Midnight diamonds stud my heaven Southward burning like the jewels that eye your place And the warm winds that embrace me Just as surely kissed your face Yeah these miss you nights they’re the longest’
BE DEUTSCH
‘Remember, remember the 9th of November, broken glass, fire and plot. I know of no reason why our very own treason should ever be forgot’
