Ooooh lots of 'firsts'! I was going to write about the two firsts that happened to me last week, then today I had another first. And yes I know last week is old news. I can't rival the unceasing output of Ana Lutetia, Gogo, or any of a dozen bloggers I can think of... which is why I'd never make a good fashion blogger *blushes*
Anyway! Last week two things happened which have never happened to me before. Firstly, I got griefed!
People always talk about griefers in SL and I've always wondered where all the griefers are, since I've never encountered one. Considering that my original avi rezzed 17 Dec 2006, that means I've gone nearly 2 years without meeting a griefer in person. I know, I know, I should count myself lucky...
But of all things, one has to come and bug me when I was terraforming my land. Now, terraforming is not my favourite thing to do (what an understatement) so I was concentrating and was exceedingly annoyed when prim boxes suddenly started appearing all around me. Eventually the MystiTool reported:
- [2009/10/28 5:18] MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Collision with "Bullet", Owner: Kirk Dethly
The other first was a lovely one. Someone gave me a gift. What's intriguing is that I don't know who :)
I happened to mention on Plurk that I wanted the new Musashi-Do dress... my plurk went like this:
Next thing I know, I have an offline inventory offer and IM from the designer...
- Shiryu Musashi: Hello, a secret admirer required a delivery of the Tender Blossoms fatpack for you. Please don't ask me who he or she is, I've been threatened, so I can't tell you :D
As I said in the plurk, I'm Chinese. The dress looks very like a cheongsam, a traditional Chinese dress, and while I don't normally walk around wearing cheongsams, I did wear one to my university convocation (graduation):
(Please note, this was taken nine years ago, lol. I, err... probably will never ever be that slim again *grins ruefully*)
Moving on! :p
The third first was winning something. I have never won anything in SL before apart from lucky chair gifts, so I'm really happy!
See, I'd joined the DeePosed VIP group and added the store to my profile picks, because they have a random giveaway to two group members every month (or something like that), and this month my name came up and I WON!!! What did I win? L$3,000 worth of poses, or in other words, 40 poses. I get to go to the store and pick the ones I'd like! *dances*

Awww! I love seeing the RL pic of you! Very pretty!
You are so so lovely in RL (and in SL too, of course.)
aww ... I also love seeing your RL pic -- you look beautiful :) What an incredibly lovely gesture by whoever sent you the dress. Its the kind of thing that can restore your faith in humanity :)
YAY for the RL pic! :))
1- Fashion blogging isn't about sheer output, but care and attention to detail (and with that I don't mean that machine-gun bloggers like Ana may lack quality; not at all).
2- Griefed: errr... congratulations? And since I am at it, also congratulations about winning the poses :-)
3- Anonymous gifts: Probably annoying and exciting at the same time, but I couldn't say for sure (never gave one, never got one *shrugs*).
4- RL pic: Oh my!
5- Ohhhhh my! (I'm probably repeating myself, but trying not to droll takes a lot of neurones :-)
6- Now, seriously: beautful, dear.
(ooohhhh, my!)
Wow.
Baptism by fire.
This post puts me into a creative mood... I like challenges. So now I am wondering how I can give you an SL experience you haven't expeirenced before. Unfortunately, only bad things are coming to mind.
-Eeeeviiiilll grin-
Funny - it's 3:30 p.m. for me, November 5. Everyone who posted before me are dated the 6th... Need to drag you closer this way so the only time we nag each other isn't at 4 a.m. in the morning for me. :)
Tell London "HIYA" for me. Give her a big wet sloppy kiss or something. ;)
Awww thanks guys :)
@Nissa - yes, it was all the more wonderful because the person wished to remain anonymous... not wanting thanks or expecting anything back :)
@London - Fashion blogging might not be about output, but you need to keep up otherwise new releases will become last season's cast-offs, and still not blogged :p The anonymous gift was not annoying at all, in fact I was really touched by it and very intrigued!
@Ari - I like it when you are bad! *leers* The time of commenting is my local time, lol. *allows self to be dragged* It will be my pleasure to give London a big wet sloppy kiss on your behalf :p
Ohai to the rl Q!!!
Grieving sucks, but what an adreneline rush! lol. I used to get grieved lots when working as a hostess - back before mystitools!
And congrats on your win!
Well, I would find an anonymous gift thrilling AND annoying, because I haaaaate not to know!
/me ‹----- pathologically nosy
@ London: she's trying to get that information out of me, but i won't tell! :P
Aww look at that pretty lady - so lovely and we only get better with time in my opinion.
