Thirteen - I Cannot Believe It

Today I celebrate my thirteenth rezday in SecondLife, it's almost impossible to fathom all the joy, sorrow, loving, shopping, flying, playing, teleporting, friending and un-friending (not so many, but still some) that have occurred during those many years.

I first joined just to check it out, who knew I would still be here and having fun. Many times before I have said that I'll probably be here when Linden Lab pulls the plug in San Francisco, now I actually believe it.

It's My Twelfth Rezday!

Today is my 12^th rezday and I am taking the day off from SecondLife as I have a  terrible headache. I hope you are celebrating it all the same.

This is a picture to show y'all what I looked like on Saturday, December 8^th, 2007.

on the far right. I was a brunette those days because all blond hair was yellow.

The photo was taken at Ars' skybox, the pictures in the background are of him with his head shaved.   

Happy 10th Rezday, Tomais!

"Night Life" by Tomais Ashdene

My wonderful and sexy husband celebrates his 10th rezday in SecondLife today. He is so lucky that I have decided to remain married to such an old avatar. Of course, that decision may have been affected by his pleasant nature and his stunningly good looks.

"He's Older Than SecondLife Dinosaur Dung"

Today we celebrate an avatar who - if the suspicions of SecondLife archeologists are correct - is older than the dinosaur coprolite found on The Land of Rainbows sim.

Fossilized Kahvy-poop, exhibit 2

According to emerging theories among the archeologists there was life in SecondLife even before our beloved Philip Linden set his dainty little feet in-world. Excavations at The Land of Rainbows sim have shown that there were indeed dinosaurs wandering that sim long before that day.

DNA-analysis of the dinosaur dung found has proven without any doubt that the coprolites have been deposited by none other than the avatar today known as Kahvy Smith (nee Sands). The theory is that Kahvy Smith shapeshifted from dino to human avatar on this day eleven years ago in order to survive the changing climates that were threatening the existence of the dinosaurs.

Happy eleventh human avatar rezday, Kahvy!

(Inquisitive minds may wonder how I know this much about Kahvy's background in SecondLife. Well, to be quite honest, I was there already when he emerged.)

"Of A Certain Age"

You may not have noticed yet, but the laird has recently been published by Amazon. "The Book of Bock. Collected wisdoms and guidelines for life and social media presence for an avatar in postindustrial society. Part 1." Available in Kindle and hardcover for $6.24 (includes VAT).

"When an avatar if ´of a certain age' it is always best to photograph them in a harsh and brilliant lighting to obliterate and cover up any and all imperfections and blemishes that may have developed during their evolution. If nothing else helps take them to Chouchou." (BoB 2018, p 234)

To think that I would have to follow my own gentle guidelines when I was thinking about what picture to post for my eleventh rezday.

Oh my, can it really be true? I am older that dirt in SecondLife and Philip Linden must certainly have used me to rub the shit of his shoes after his first rezzing in-world.

Happy 10th Rezday, Kahvy!

Mr. Kahvy Smith, nee Sands, is my oldest existing friend in SecondLife.

Although I had the honor of sharing my decade-rezday bash with him on March 18th, today is his actual 10th rezday!

Happy rezday, my very-very old friend, and I hope to be with you still when they pull the plugs to SecondLife in San Francisco.

I am going to include a message I sent to him on his 34th birthday (June 9, 2015), when he had complained to me that he then only "had another year left of being a young man".

"Kahvy, my dear friend,

Age is but a number, but always remember that ageing is mandatory but growing old is optional. You need not worry about being 35 in less than a year, because you actually have six more years until you are "old" as the official age of becoming old in the straight culture is 40.

However, on the other hand in the gay culture, you have already been old since you turned 30 as that is the official age for turning old among us gays. Enjoy the rest of your life as an old queer and get the f-u-c-k over it!

Many happy birthday wishes, my dear old friend!"

Oh, What An Amazing Party!

That was one helluva a party we had last night, to celebrate Kahvy and my tenth rezdays.

I would like to thank Garrett and Tomais for organizing it, Lee McKay for supplying us with great music and everyone who turned up for giving us the pleasure of their company at this momentous time in Kahvy's and my own SecondLife.

So, to be quite honest, Kahvy is a snarky little bitch sometimes, but then again so am I! I have known him for some 9,5 years and he is my oldest remaining friend in SecondLife. We are well-suited to each other and there is no one else I would rather celebrate my anniversary of a decade in SecondLife with.

Here are some pictures from the party supplied by my loving brother JJ Goodman. Please enjoy!

 

For many more pictures please visit my brother JJ Goodman's timeline on Facebook and check out the pictures in his album from the party.

Thanks everyone for making this a wonderful time! As my darling Tomais said, "How many other people can say that Madonna came to their birthday party?"

Hugs and kisses to you all!

How time flies! It amazes me to think that today I am celebrating my tenth anniversary in our wonderful world of SecondLife.

Bock 2017 by Richard De Grataine Suoh

It's been a wonderful and amazing journey and I wouldn't wish to be without it. In those days we were born ugly and we stayed ugly. We duckwalked and had our clothes plastered to our bodies. Some days we would crash 45-50 times a day and still we would soldier on through those bad days and log right back in again. After each teleport you had to check yourself, so that you hadn't ended up with your shoe sunk into your ass or your hair stuck to your groin.

But we sure did have fun, even when we and watched the number of logged in residents getting close to first 5,000 holding our breath and waiting for SecondLife to crash. Then that number rose to 10,000, 20,000 until we no longer thought about it.

Bock 2007 by Bock McMillan

Life improved gradually - and at times very fast - but most of the time there was some improvement that gave us all hope and energy. Well except for under the reign of M Linden, those years were a total waste and we were all rather despondent until Philip Linden took the reins again. At the moment we are experiencing another golden age with great improvements under the benevolent rule of Ebbe Linden.

I am going to stick around for a couple of years more to see where this whole exciting adventure ends. It's going to be a thrill!

Honorary Citizenship Bestowed

Happy 10th Eddi!

Today we celebrate the tenth rezday of the one-and-only Eddi Haskell, my dear friend and my mentor in blogging.

I hope you have a wonderful rezday, buddy, and then I'm looking forward to ten more wonderful years in SecondLife with you!

Big hugs and lots of kisses on your cheeks. 

Petr, Older Than Dirt Avatar Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Despite adamant denials and extensive pixel-surgery that has him looking younger than a two year old Petr Hastings-Vanbeek recently admitted to being older than dirt, although still maintaining that he is much younger than the venerable old man Dejerrity Mycron.

Decade Old Avatars

I'll be ten years old in SecondLife next year, so I know a few of those venerable old avatars.

I and Dej at Southern Charm. I am in my second mesh outfit.

My brother - and brother-in-law - Dejerrity Mycron turned ten on October 23, 2016 (Please note, that Dej will never be older than 39, ever!). Today would have been my late husband Ars Northmead's tenth rezday.

I and Ars at an event at Pixel Hill.

As I understand it the two of them met just a couple of days after rezzing into SecondLife and were more or less thick as thieves until Ars passed away.

Dej doesn't believe in the benefits of mesh, so he still looks a lot like we all did in 2008, 2009 & 2010. If Ars was still around, I'm certain he would have come to embrace mesh.

I myself was difficult to convince of the benefits of mesh in the beginning, I always dreaded the fact that my clothes would change my shape instead of the other way around.

Then someone close to me at the time nagged at me and a onetime friend became a "meshista" also, so my resistance finally caved in and I agreed to try it. I'll never go back now.

Happy 3rd Rezday, Garrett!

Today we celebrate the third rezday of one of the kindest and sexiest men in SecondLife, Garrett Smith!

"Garrett" by Stephano del Piero

Have a wonderful rezday, Garrett sweetie, and hope to join you for many more!

NakedCarl Turns Middle-Aged

My dear friend and blogging buddy Carl Paneer, best known as Naked Carl, turns six years old in SecondLife today. (Which as you certainly know means he will henceforth be considered as a ripe middle-aged gentleman.)

Carl is celebrating this special event with a party this evening at 10PM SLT at a secret venue (SLurl to the party venue will be provided on Carl's blog at 09.30PM SLT. Click this link)

Clothing is - as one could guess - optional and DJ Ez will supply the musical entertainment.

Unfortunately I will not be able to take part in the celebration as it starts at an ungodly hour for a late-sleeper like myself.

I wish you a very happy rezday, my dear buddy, and hope you have a wonderful party!

P.S. I have sent you a gift from Marketplace, it is called Darius and is of course mesh. It is something every naked man and male avatar needs.

The thing is sometimes hard and at other times soft, sometimes wet and at other times dry, it comes in all colors and shapes, lengths, girths and sizes and you can even change all of it yourself, well in SecondLife you can. I hope you enjoy it!

As we cannot have the most famous nude man of SecondLife running around with a mismatched cock, the gift also includes thirty (30) minutes of quality tinting by the Master of Cock-Tinting in SecondLife, my husband Tomais Ashdene.

Hip, Hip, Hooray, I'm Nine Years Today!

Today is my 9th rezday in SecondLife. That means I will start to believe that talking about my weak knees, my bladder problems and how flatulence bothers me as a suitable topic at any given time. Although I - of course - still look and feel spectacular and gorgeous, everyone is starting to discuss whether or not I have had one or more plastic surgeries.

"Not a single cut, dear, not even a circumcision!", I will tell them all proudly. "It all comes naturally for us royal McMillans, we never show signs of aging ever - at least not in SecondLife."

So let me finish with a poem in my honor by the poetess laureate of Southern Charm, Mlle CruCru McMillan.

Roses are red,
           Violets are blue... yeah they are...
You are nine years young,
            and we still love you... yeah we do!
