My New Favorite Question

When did you choose to be straight?

My Brother Is Back

Yesterday as I was - as usual on Sunday mornings (SLT) - dancing, chatting and having a splendid time at Elfays´s Coffee and Pajamas Show I got a very surprising IM from Martial, my dear brother who was lost to real life some time ago.

We talked in IM a while and all feelings and wonderful memories were stirred up again. I cannot help myself but Martial always hits a certain spot in my heart. Although I wanted to remain restrained, guarded, distant (whatever may be the correct word) and a bit sulky (yes, I actually want to do that sometimes - roll me in tar and cover me in feathers) I couldn't stop the feelings of strong love that just welled up inside me.

Certain people I just cannot help loving, however I try to hide it, block it or stop it, Martial is definitely one of them.

In real life it is exactly the same. I have more than a few ex-boyfriends I still love, no matter how ferocious or ugly the breakup may have been.

P.S. Yes, I do realize that this post may well cause some people to call me "pillertrillare" (an ugly Swedish word for "drug addict") due to my present use of  prescribed antidepressants, but they don´t have a clue so they can jump in any lake of their own choice. 

I must repeat that my main reasons for writing this blog is for my own benefit and those who care to read it.

Matchmaking

Andrey photographed by Andrey

Well, with a hot brother in-law like Andrey you have to be proud!

This is a Google-translation to Portuguese of parts of a very old Swedish song, if it turns out obscene blame Google:
"Ele anda como um homem
Ele parece um homem
Com um corpo como um homem
E ele beija como um homem.

Ele tem o charme de um homem
Ele é frio como um homem
Casualmente como um homem
E ele se move como um homem deve"

In English it would be:
"He walks like a man
He looks like a man
With a body like a man
And he kisses like a man should.

He has charm as a man
He is cool as a man
Casual like a man
And he moves like a man should"

If you want to get to know this wonderful, loving, sweet, studly and perfectly breathtaking piece of man please drop your written application in a note card on my profile. I cannot emphasize enough that you must have brains, brawn and a big heart to apply! Oh and you need to have a penis also! 

Andrey speaks Portuguese and English fluently.

The note card must be in any of the Scandinavian languages or English and must contain at the very least the following:
1. Your name
2. Your age in both lifes
3. Your interests in both lifes
4. A picture of your face and your body in SecondLife taken in full day light (full frontal nudity is encouraged but not mandatory)
5. Any further information about yourself that you wish to share

Do not send written recommendations from your mother, ex-lovers, employers etc. until you are asked for it during the screening process.

The Wedding of Kicki and Hercules

The bride and groom at the altar

Protesters?

Yesterday I was honored to be a guest at the wedding of Kicki Springflower and her handsome lover Hercules.

The church, Stavkirken in Second Norway, was packed with the glitterati of the Scandinavian communities with some interesting International additions. Stavkirken is a beautiful jewel of architecture in SecondLife and all the guests did their best to match it. Most of us actually succeeded, except for a guy who kept his hat on inside the church.

It was a very beautiful ceremony and the declarations of love between the bride and groom were touching and heartwarming.

The lag was surprisingly horrendous as we were no more than 45 people on the sim. I don´t really experience lag very often in SecondLife although it is a common complaint. I took a few pictures - as you see above, but the only one close to acceptable is the one at the top of this post, but if you look closely on that you see three guests standing in crucifixion poses.On all the rest there were "Grey people" as witnessed by the picture to the right.

I at first thought this was Ms. Blanche Argus and some friends protesting against "marriage being a patriarchal form of slavery for women", but when I interviewed her on this she vehemently denied it and claimed that she and her bench-mates were in fact all sitting down..

Well as I always say, "Lag is a state of mind, don´t blame it on the Lindens!" I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony. For better pictures I suggest you visit some of the other Scandinavian SecondLife blogs. I was sorry I could not attend the party afterwards but reports say that it was great fun with Ms. Ewa Aska and Ms. Rultan Zeppelin as hostesses and the amazing DJ PJ.

Kicki and Hercules, you made me proud by the way you both handled the difficult situation, I wish you both all the best for the future! As the SecondLife saying goes "If the wedding has bad lag but the sim doesn't crash it will be a long and prosperous marriage!" (Well, I just made that up, but there should be such a saying.)

P.S. I hope a bosom buddy of mine notices that I carefully avoided to include any picture of a certain reverend/philosopher in the pictures above.
