A visit to Ishida Clan


Last night, after I finally got a bit more energy and felt my weekend sinking in…I went for a visit to Omi no Kuni, the home of the Ishida Clan. The sim is a bit empty at the moment. Well a bit. It’s empty. But the Ishida Samurai were having some nice fights anyway. Apparently…

Unbelievable?


Yeah, it’s true. Honest. I was minding my own business (read: doing nothing) and then….out of the blue: I got an IM, was asked out for a dance and had a lovely Sunday-night :).

I give up


Not a very cheerful title of this post, eh? No, I am not giving up Second Life. Nor Katana-fighting! I just give up finding someone for a dance on a Saturday-night. This weekend I decided to give it another try and went to a club that Pep showed me the other day. Nice music, very…

Me and my Dragon


This afternoon Pep gave me a Dragon! It’s name is : Little Purple Dragon (can’t change the name), it follows me around and even talks to me. Which is quite nice when I am alone and can use some company.  Even though it’s a bit of an ugly Dragon, I already love him. Or her….

Lazy Saturday


The weekends are always kind of quiet in ImperiuM, giving me some time to explore and catch up chatting with friends who are not into katana–fighting. This afternoon, while chatting in IM, I amused myself in the Garden of Dreams. One of my favourite places in Second Life. I simply love the fields with high…

St. Martinsday, a chatty afternoon and new art


Whilst The Netherlands are being tortured by a heavy storm (yeah, got the bins in the garage in time!), I was having a very nice, chatty afternoon in the Forum Cartel Hangout. Pep showed off his new (extremely ugly) boots, 4ever Silent was not at all silent, Ratt dropped by and told everybody I am…

Ewok’s Epic Story


Two weeks ago, when I had uploaded some pictures of the Halloween Party on Flickr, I got one comment from Ewok. I had never met him, but  he is a member of the Forum Cartel and I had seen some posts of him. Anyways, we ‘chatted’ a bit in the comments on Flickr and that…

Friends. Am I doing it wrong?


After more than 3 years in Second Life, it is not surprising I have quite a long  ‘friends list’. Even though I clean it up every now and then, to delete people I really can’t remember, it is still a long list. Evaluating this list last night, and the (sad?) conclusion is that I have…

Dress-hunting


Last night I went on a serious dress-hunt. I was supposed to go out dancing, and thought it would be nice to wear something new and if possible stunning! So with a lot of help from the ladies I got a load of Landmarks, as I wanted to get something from a shop I had…

My Letter!


When I logged back in this evening, I got an IM from Laurin, telling me there was this very cute dress with the letter C on a Lucky Letter board. In Evie’s Closet. As I had no other plans, I tp’d over and found my way the board pretty easy (on entrance, left). But the…

Wallflower


The last weeks, I don’t know exactly how long, I have tried my best to go out a bit more and meet people. I have always been kind of locked up in ImperiuM Island, and still am. Don’t get me wrong, I love the ImperiuM and my best friends a lot, but I felt it…

Voice Morphing!


Today I went to Voice Island, it’s a tiny (ugly!) piece of land where you can buy  the so-called ‘voice morphing packs’. Meaning, when you pay 750 LS for a pack, 5 morphed voices will be added to your ‘speak’ button and your voice will be changed when you speak. For one  month that is!…

Farewell to Avatars United


So I just got this email from Linden Lab, informing me that Avatars United will be closed at 29 September…. Somehow I feel bad about it, I always enjoyed the site and it gave me the opportunity to keep in contact with people when I am not able to get inworld…Also, we had a (modest)…

Conversationalists


Even after being in Second Life for more than 3 years, I still can get suprised by the lack of normal conversations some people manage to display. Really. It makes me wonder how they survive in real life, if they do. I mean…see these two conversations I recently had with 2 visitors (on one day!)…

The Forum Cartel Home Tour – 2010


This year I submitted ImperiuM Island as ‘ Open Home’ in the 2nd Annual Forum Cartel Home Tour.  This initiative, by Joshooah Lovenkraft, gives members (and all resident of SL for that matter) a chance to take a look into people’s homes and sims. Some of those homes are normally closed to public the rest…

More playing with shadows


although I know some people can be in world and feel bored..I rarely experience that! There is always something to play with or to (re) discover. This morning I was sitting at the seaside in Penghu, and amused myself with taking pictures of Fat and H, who were talking and sitting all sweet on a…
