I know I said no RL stuff here, but this needs to be said for those who think I faked my mother's illness or that I'm using it to manipulate people. My mother is very sick. She spent the night in a delirium. She can't answer simple questions. She can't remember what she had for breakfast 20 minutes ago. Last night she was claiming that the hospital wouldn't let her eat or call anyone (she called my sister who then ordered dinner for her--and my sister can verify that). 

For those who think it's unreasonable for me to not be building a pixel house while I'm dealing with this sort of thing, your priorities are messed up. Anyone who could continue to function normally while their mother is in a catatonic state is a heartless human. If you have 6 people in your family dying of cancer, they obviously aren't in the final stages, but if they are, your continued presence in SL shows that you don't give a damn about them. (yes, that was meant for someone specific who chose to lie about her situation in order to make me feel like shit when I was already down).

The people who remain on my friends list in SL are wonderful, amazing people who have shown me that not everyone is worthless. I trusted the wrong people, but at least these people are worthy of that trust. As I move forward, I will be out for myself--no more helping people just because I care and want them to succeed. But I want the people who have been supportive of me during this hell to know that I consider them a part of me. This small circle will benefit from my generousity the way unworthy people once did.

Apparently I'm using my mother's illness to manipulate people, faking her illness as well as the fact that DFS threatened to take my child away and I'm irresponsible and unprofessional. You won't need to worry anymore. I have removed all but 5 people from my friends list and I will not add you back. You are dead to me. I will not listen to anyone anymore or be a shoulder to cry on since those I have supported can only kick me while I'm down. Goodbye.

I've been meaning to update, but I've been so busy. The wedding was wonderful. I'm now married to the most amazing guy in SL. He makes me so happy. it's almost impossible to believe. In addition to our union, Mike and I adopted a daughter. Lizzy is the sweetest, most thoughtful six year old ever, and she apparently gets her building skills from her Daddy Mike. We have a new family home on a private island (beachfront), but it didn't help matters when I flooded the place less than an hour after we got it. Needless to say I'm not allowed to play with land tools anymore.

The past few days have been a total picture-fest. Here are some of them, behind a cut because they are not dial up friendly. Enjoy.

There are quite a few more pictures, but those are some of my favorites. I'm temporarily DJing at Destiny's and hosting at the same time. Lizzy may start DJing if her computer cooperates (no child labor laws in SL). Now I need to download more music for the club today. Joy :D

**JUST A NOTE FOR THOSE WHO ACCESS MY RL JOURNAL. NO DISCUSSION OF THIS IN THAT JOURNAL AND NO DISCUSSION OF MY RL HERE. WHILE WHO I PLAY IN SL IS WHO I REALLY AM, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR ME TO SHARE THE JOYS AND FRUSTRATIONS OF THE SECOND LIFE I LOVE SO MUCH. ALL LOCATIONS MENTIONED HERE WILL BE SL LOCATION AT THE TIME OF WRITING.**


I followed a dead girl named Cassie to Second Life. She disappeared, but there I met the Crew--an insane group of people from all walks of life. Although I forged my own way, they helped me get started in SL. Our differences make me love them more. Hopefully soon I can return to the group, but for now it is how it should be. I've maintained the valuable friendships and that matters more than a title.

My life in SL has been crazy. I wandered around confused like most newbies and without the Crew as a homebase I probably wouldn't have stuck around. With them to ground me (somewhat) I found employment as an escort at a gay club. It paid well enough for me to improve my av. My employment at that club began one of the greatest love stories ever. However, the story is a humorous one. I didn't want an SL boyfriend. In fact, I was loving the single life and being a bit of a slut. So when this sexy guy came into the club, I saw him as nothing more than business. I propositioned him and he turned me down. To this day, I am so grateful that he did because, had he agreed, I wouldn't have seen him again outside the club. Instead, we spent time together outside of the club and I realized that I always had fun with him. He told me that he, too, did not want a boyfriend in SL. Famous last words.

Meanwhile, I couldn't deny my feelings for him, and had to take a chance. I ended everything that I had going the day before he told me that he wanted me. There's a lesson in that kiddos. Listen to your heart, even when it's in conflict with your mind.

Mike and I are SL engaged and will be married on Friday. (At least SL is progressive enough to allow that). I'm 10 different kinds of nervous--primarily hoping that the program doesn't mess up during the ceremony. There are a few surprises planned, and I'm excited, not only to share those surprises, but to begin my married SL. 

As for employment, I no longer escort or strip. Currently I host for Destiny Gentleman's Club (I love you Destiny!) and help my fiance out with his club, Diamond Heaven. I am a real estate owner, build houses and make boxers (yes, boxers...and good ones). Somehow I still find time to dance with my fiance and favorite SL niece, Lizzy, relax in Kane and do a little shopping.

Time for me to return to work. I'm sure I'll have a lot to say here as time goes by. :D
