Furnishing my SL apartment bleeding into RL

[smoothazndude]

So yesterday while I was shopping at Walmart (in RL), as I walked by the Home & Furniture section, I saw a dresser on the shelf for sale.   I instinctively started wondering to myself how many LI would that dresser take and if it had copy/modify permissions.  I then realized I was spending maybe a bit too much time furnishing my SL apartment.

LOL, I love this. Surprised I haven't done this myself.

I get annoyed sometimes when I think "I have the perfect outfit for that event!" and then realize it's an SL outfit that I cannot magically download to RL and wear.

while i have never asked myself how many prims an item is i have seen in a store. I have on occasion seen people that looked like they just stepped out of SL

I sometimes see furnishings or decorative stuff in real world shops that I've seen in SL first in that form, which I always find very fun, when I realize it.

Convinced I can spot second lifers in RL just by how they dress. Always a bit ... different. Unusual. Interesting.  Maybe I'm kidding myself, maybe not. I never say anything mind.

I can honestly say I've looked at furnishings and clothes in RL and wish I could have them at SL prices, not to mention the ability to move objects with a mouse-click.

I've had dreams I was in my RL home moving heavy items around with a drag and drop mouse action.  Mixing dream life, RL, and SL - I'm sure therapy would be a good idea at this point - but I fear the damage is done. 😁

When you go somewhere in RL  and it looks crowded and you tell your companion-- pan inside-- how long's the line?

So, just checking for alphas under short skirts .....?

I have the opposite problem. I really, really want some of the furnishing that I've used to decorate in RL! I'm pretty sure I could not afford them if they were.

I am frequently amazed at how quickly RL renders

But not being able to zoom is annoying, especially the older I get!

I have found that the speed at which RL performs rezzing is proportional to the number of drinks I have had or whether I have my glasses on.

If my SL apartment started bleeding, I'd start to wonder if @Orwar was somehow involved.

I hate the texture thrashing after a few too many drinks.

I've experienced SL-RL bleed a number of times. Recently when I was trying to decide what to wear in RL I though about putting on some cropped jeans I bought recently, then realised I'd bought them in SL...

I also have a few floral dresses in SL, which normally I wouldn't wear in RL..but I bought one in RL recently, and can see that it's a direct result of my SL purchases.

If I see a piece of fencing that doesn't line up the same as the rest of the fence I want to click on it and fanny about with the XYZ to put it straight.

We have a Cosplay convention close to my home town quite often and these kids think they shock us with their outfits, especially the furries. I just love to see them.

Cosplayers most likely. Could be Marvel comic fans, or been following a series on Netflix or other streaming service, and write fan fiction but make themselves the stars. I love these kids, they have such great imaginations. I think for most of them they think Second Life is for oldies (or that's what I've been told by a few of them).

I needed a USB extension cable in RL. It was moments before I realised I was searching for it on the MP instead of on ebay 😄

After many years of furnishing rentals, I can instantly tell when an item of furniture is not aligned according to the numbers. And I'm always right, when something looks "wrong" and I see it is at 181 or 269 or something. So I put it to the right numbers to get it at a squared-up angle.

In RL, I walk into a room, I see something is not "right" and have a moment when I stretch out my hand as if to right click to get the object menu and put that item to the right number....
