My SL Feed - March 2014

"Delusion" was a very special hunt gift for Twisted, a story you could live.
Which story? This:

(I will probably remake it in mesh, to have it as an interactive part of the sim.)

"Cute as a button", new pair of mesh unrigged eyes for Woeful Wednesday (including color change and resize HUD):

Something good (at least, for me) from the time that the snapshots weren't working in the feed, is that there were some more conversations. It reminded me of when I was a little girl, the power went down, and without television, my parents started talking to us. Now I'm a little less afraid of saying nonsense here :-) (And so, in the next mini-post, there will be a recommendation. The relationship with that and what I've just said? Nothing at all! \o/ )

Probably, during the last two years I've read more English than I've done for the rest of my life. I've gone through some good recommendations, and today, for no other reason than just babble a bit, I wanted to do one on my own. If you ask me what I would suggest reading from Spanish writers, I wouldn't pick a Spanish author (as in "from Spain") but the Argentinian-Spanish author known as "Quino". Also, the suggestion wouldn't be a book, but a comic strip. If you haven't read "Mafalda" yet, you are missing out on a great work.

Posted on Ima Rang's Feed:
I've read this today and couldn't help remembering what you said about "Fornication Under Consent of the King": https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10100846167190977&id=286890596340&stream_ref=10 (because of http://assholeoftheday.us/post/80638959043/update-on-sen-richard-ross )

I would do more comments, but many people just don't have the required sense of humor (nor would be up to a rational debate that the nonsense brought to my mind.)

(I refer to what you said in this thread: https://my.secondlife.com/pserendipity.daniels/posts/532d7e615f83ab7b3e0001aa )

"So you want to learn how it is the descent to darkness? You've come to ask to the most appropriate one. But I have to warn you of something: Should you decide to follow that path, beware that the deeper you are in the darkness, the lonelier you'll find out you've ever been."

[Link to the original post in my feed]

"It may start as a slight disappointment. You suddenly realize that you cannot trust as you wanted, and slowly it turns into a way to resentment."

[Link to the original post in my feed]

"Resentment twists the way you perceive the world. Your emotions are intensified. A small gesture, regardless of intention, is deformed into a threatening situation that will attack you, will attack you... And why nobody else can see it?"

[Link to the original post in my feed]

"Laments about the world being against you, sure are strange creatures. They are attracted to other laments, but even though they share the same space and tend to be quite of a crowd, none of them is actually listening but the constant whining of the mind, a mind that, at this stage, has crossed the first door that puts it further from a rational view of the world."

[Link to the original post in my feed]

"It will happen. You will eventually bite and push away the few ones that still try to help you at that point. Sooner or later you will scream why nobody gives a damn for your feelings. The slam in the door as they leave you behind is the sound that your mind will do when it finally abandons all sanity."

[Link to the original post in my feed]

"Look at yourself. Now. Tied to your altered emotions, the only that's left after all you've destroyed. Was it worth the loss? Still, you have a last chance. Will you cover your eyes too with your current ties, or will you use they keys that were always within you? It is your last chance to decide, and there's not much time left. If you don't use the keys, your mind alone will close your eyes to reality, forever. There's no way back."

"How do I know all this, you ask? It's a good question. But, see, I am just a storyteller. How else could I know?"

A mesh vagina with appliers is out. Thoughts about it? Is there anything in the horizon for guys too, with appliers? I'm asking seriously :o)

(I dislike there's no hair option. The name is a killer, too. "The Coochi". Some of you know what's now in my mind and why my eyes are rolling. Still, not saying I will not get it. I'm a fan of... research, that was the word.)

Theorem of the Month ™:
In absence of visible warning signs of sarcasm, there will be always someone that will think you're talking seriously. (Visible signs such as "smileys" or tags.)

Corollary 1:
Even when such warning signs are visible, there will be always someone that will think you're talking seriously.

Corollary 2:
Even when knowing you're just being sarcastic, there will be always someone that will deliberately spread lies about.

Proof: See the feeds, forum, Plurk, Twitter or any other social media sites. QED.

I know of a person whose parents had a black Persian cat. This cat did show up from nowhere and immediately adopted them forever since. A year ago, this person had a different black Persian cat showing up from nowhere, adopting them.

Conclusion: Having black Persian cats showing up from nowhere and adopting you, is a genetic condition.

You should never believe Science. Scientists are always changing their minds about chocolate being good or bad for health, so it's obvious they don't know what they're talking about. On the other hand, Science has just confirmed, in a single article basing its statistics on what people say about themselves, that I have a free ride to dismiss criticism and say that anybody I don't like is a troll and hence a horrible person! Everybody hails Sacred Science!

I said it once and I will repeat as necessary:

"Predators are quick in pointing fingers at someone else while deciding their next victim, or draining their current victim's soul. Predators also often cover themselves in a victim costume. [...] I do not consent that predators take on my pain for a cause they can use to manipulate others, or myself."

"People that I don't like, no matter how good they are at it, shouldn't be paid for their job unless they bend to behave the way I would like them to be." (It's not literal, but the essence of something I read yesterday. I, of course, do not share that point of view. And you?)

When you ask "why aren't we friends anymore?" (referring to having been removed from a contact list)... Why do you ask, and what do you exactly expect to hear?

- "Oh, I am sorry, I'm sure it's a SL glitch, let me re-add you"
- "Oh, sorry, I was cleaning my contact list and must have deleted you by mistake"
- "Well, I did it three months ago and you realize now, I think that speaks by itself"
- "Well, we never talked further from the first week"
- "Well, each time you IM me is because you want help from me"

(If you can't figure out the reason on your own, perhaps you weren't that friend at all. No, this is not directed to anybody. Replying on Lee's thread brought the question on its own in a moment when I had a keyboard at hand. Keyboards at hand are dangerous for your health, use them wisely.)

When something happens, how many sides of the facts do you expect existing?

How do you feel when somebody you follow in this SL feed, posts commercial links from something they've done? (Marketplace, a blog page...)
The reason why I ask (before someone takes it personally :o) ) is that I've been avoiding posting mines for a long time, with a few exceptions, and I'm not sure if I've been an idiot for doing so. If you feel I've been an idiot, you're welcome to say :-) (I will just adopt a dramaqueen pose and then ragequit, but I'll be back in five minutes.)

The Onion could have written this:
"To the National Security Agency analyst writing a briefing to his superiors, the situation was clear: their current surveillance efforts were lacking something. The agency's impressive arsenal of cable taps and sophisticated hacking attacks was not enough. What it really needed was a horde of undercover Orcs."

Brilliant.

The feed has been good to me this morning. Finally I have all the links I needed to retrieve for a little mischief. But I wanted to share this snapshot I found in the way. Thanks, Colleen, for that smile :-) (and the grin it put on my face when it came up on my screen.)

Black stockings with laced tops. Sheer lace panties. Garters. High heels. I'm laying on my back, in the couch at home. My back, arched, my head, tilted. My hair is flowing over my shoulders, barely reaching my collarbone. My hands are over my waist, one of my knees, bending up. Light is dim in the room, warm, thanks to the fireplace. And that's how you all will have to imagine my Topless Tuesday until the feed brings us back the pictures. Have a happy one :-)

Because of my being introvert, I rarely send PM's. However, since people are lately sending messages in public, it's only fair (haha) if I think loud voice.

Today I've had a nice lunch. I've prepared some sort of pastries, filled with tomato sauce, tuna and fresh corn, to accompany slices of grilled turkey. After that, while washing the dishes, it came to my mind an accusation that seems to be thrown when you don't fit into a sexist stereotype: "traitor to your gender." Whatever that means, it seems to be the worse you can do as a woman, and so you deserve to have denied any human right.

Inevitably, this question came to my mind: When a man trapped in a woman's body decides to take the step to transgender... Is that any kind of "treason", and deserving that same cruel punishment? Or you're not allowed to feel and think in certain non stereotyped ways only if you keep your female body?

I'm still thinking about, I'll let know of any conclusions I reach to :-)

I've finished adapting for web the "Creating HUDs - The builders part" class I used to teach: http://auryn-beorn.blogspot.com/2013/12/creator-resource-creating-huds-builders.html

It contains general information that may be useful whether you want to build a HUD for texture change, a meter, or an applier for hands/feet/etc.

If I had a penny each time I've read "I love people with sense of humor" in a profile and reality proved otherwise ("ban the joker!!!"), I'd be rich now (after converting currency, of course.)

The New Year begins to chase us (New Zealand is already there), and although I'd wish for "peace in the world" and all that, I've decided to ask for more sense of humor and rational arguments to the new year (suddenly, I see peace in the world closer in time.)

I also want to share another of our sayings, which I hope helps you when you have to decide if trusting someone/something in your life: Fíate de la Virgen... ¡Y no corras!

Happy New Year :o) (Or at least, have a not so bad year as 2013, if this was a bad one.)

Today I want to celebrate the freedom I enjoy in my adult life. It wasn't a gift. It's a work I devote myself daily into, thanks to the adults that, helping me grow, taught me that my actions have consequences, and thus I am the responsible of them.

I begin looking up for information about the criterion used by Blender when calculating automatically the margin between islands while unwrapping, and after finding nothing in the wiki nor a clue in other webs, and telling a friend, she and I end up reading the source code of the file where all this happens. Moral of the story: Yes, I will dig this deep to get an answer to my questions.

Suddenly I've recalled when I heard, in a trial, "Justice does not protect the dishonorable person from the opinions that the own ill actions generate", smiled, and felt like sharing it.

When after a first meeting I hear "he/she's a nice person, yes?", I can't help thinking "well, you wouldn't expect he/she confesses to be laundering money and psychologically abusing their kids on the first meeting, do you?"

Airhead me forgot that three upcoming events she signed up for are really that close in time. While I'm sort of off, eat a lot of cheese, brush your teeth regularly, and be nice to each other! (For I'd hate to miss the drama should it happen :o) )

Guess who started writing for "Fusion" magazine :-)

November's issue: http://issuu.com/fusionmagazinesl/docs/fusion_magazine_-_november_2013
My "announcement": http://auryn-beorn.blogspot.com/2013/11/writing-for-fusion-magazine.html

Don't worry! I will not be writing about fashion, but a technical-of-sorts section with tips and tricks to help you improve your SL experience. I have many ideas to write about, and I also take suggestions if you wish.

"The dance of the young widow. Twirling every night, pondering over crossing that door and making the pain to stop."

Last night, the feed was a little playful, and I never saw the picture showing (now I do), so I couldn't add in time this link: http://auryn-beorn.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-dance-of-young-widow.html

Spanish proverbs contain some wisdom too. Three of my favorite ones are "a río revuelto, ganancia de pescadores", "nadie da duros a cuatro pesetas" and "donde dije digo, digo Diego". They contain wisdom enough as to evaluate the future of customer relationships of any IT project that bases its worth in comparing themselves to others.

However, I feel that today's favorite is "aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda". Have a great day :-)
