Stockholm Pride 2011

On Monday August 1st, 2011, Apmel Goossons neighbor in real life will raise his Pride flag and keep it flying for a week, which is his tradition since many years during Stockholm Pride.

If you wish to read more about Stockholm Pride and see the program for this year, go to this website. 

"This summer Stockholm Pride invites you to a grand celebration of Human Rights and Equality. 

We take this opportunity to celebrate the progress that the LGTB-movement has already made. We are, as we should be, proud of these victories, but we cannot be satisfied with them. We still have a long way to go towards an open society and an open world. Therefore Stockholm Pride will have “Openness” as the theme for the 2011 festival. 

Openness, for us, describes how well a society can provide for the needs of all its members. This includes both legislation and the ability to tend to all the different needs that we have depending on our own personal life situation, as well as the un-written rules that exists in every society."

The Pride celebration in Stockholm is the largest in Scandinavia.

There Is a Solution

So you want to join SecondLife, but you do not want to belong to that ghastly family of "Residents" with all those very strange, intentionally misspelled and complicated first names followed by ten or more digits?

There is a solution for you if you use the SciLands Registration (url), where you are still able to create your own first name and select from a wide variety of last names in the good old.way.

I thank my Chief Consultant on all things SecondLife Ms. PetGirl Bergman for this pointer.

Hopefully The End

I hope this is the first and final picture on the stupid "planking" mania I will ever post.

I join copyranter in hoping that God hears prayers (even if I am an atheist) and will grant this wish!

If you need a worthwhile pastime why not join SecondLife, or even better go visit with the sick, the elderly or the lonely people in our midst.

All Hail King Bieber I

The McMillan household was in a total uproar yesterday after the Much Honored Bock McMillan, Laird of Southern Charm and Prince of Cascade Falls, had informed his clan that we now have a king in Second Sweden.

The throne of Second Sweden had been empty ever since the former Queen PetGirl III abdicated - as it was rumored among the residents - to go live with her mysterious lover in InWorldz or OpenSims. She abandoned the poor residents of Second Sweden to a ghastly junta of 5-6 unknown avatars.

Well now the household was informed by the laird that we had been saved by a coups d´etat whereby the American avatar formerly known as Taco Rubio, had usurped the throne of Second Sweden under the name His Glorious and Victorious Majesty King Bieber I of Second Sweden.

The clan was amazed by this news as Taco Rubio was well known to them all as the Gingerbread Man from uncounted Lucia pageants, no one had been aware of his ambitions in this matter. Many in the household started doubting loudly whether the new king had the qualifications needed to become king of Second Sweden, but then.Wild Zepp raised his voice and reminded us all that Taco was after all married to the fair lady Nethermind, who was well known to all for her warm heart and sparkling intelligence. As Wild said, "Does anyone really believe that a marvelous woman like the lady Nethermind would deign to marry a dimwit or a beast?"

That sealed the deal as far as the McMillan household concerned and we all started shouting at the top of our voices, "Long live King Bieber, all hail to the king of Second Sweden!"

The laird then continued to inform us that he was going to support the kings claims to the throne. It was not at this time known how the republicans on Solace Island would take the news but it was known that they had also shown love towards Taco in earlier days so hopefully they would accept the ascension.

Mirromere Revisited

I always love to visit with my Ars at the memorial place on Mirromere in Calas Galadhon Park sims.

The calm of the place and the beauty that Tymus Tenk has worked so hard to achieve soothes any worried soul. It always makes me feel close to Ars and I always leave happy from my visits there.

SecondLife in Top Ten PC Games

I saw it first on New World Notes but had to repost it here. SecondLife is in 9th place on Nielsen´s Top Ten rating for PC Games for May 2011, I wonder how InWorldz placed?
