    I heartily approve of cats, though I don't care much for popcorn because of the bits that get stuck in my teeth

    Seriously - do popcorn lovers not have this problem? I always get that thin shell stuff wedged between my gums and my teeth - drives me nuts. I can endorse this popcorn though:

    We are not a perfect country but I doubt you'd have it as good anywhere else in the world, but good luck finding it in either case. We all deserve to be happy. 

    There's loads of indices of the best countries to live in measured a variety of ways, and the USA doesn't come out top in any of them. That isn't to say that the USA is terrible, but I'm always amazed when I hear people declare it can't possibly be better anywhere else.

  3. Neglected this when I joined! Signed up because I was curious to know what Second Life was actually like, and now I spend my time either exploring some of the amazing places people have built, or shopping. Is it just me, or is at least part of the fun of this game being an adult and playing with really good dolls? 

    Not sure what to say about interests; I love music, and I listen to a load of genres, so my spotify just went from Kate Bush to Portal (death metal) and then off to Blanck Mass. Not musically trained, but love the emotions of just about everything as long as it sounds like the band cares about something. Also enjoy scary movies, catty standup comedy like Dylan Moran, and documentaries. 

    Finding I'm not meeting a lot of people apart from dudebros who hit on me (shout out to the married Australian guy who said he was just trying to have some fun - what a pickup conversation that was), but I guess I'm really just here to explore.

    Well, if we are just 'mentioning things' just for people to know: 
    - I've never deleted an alt, though I have let a few slide into obscurity.
    - I had a boiled egg and some fruit for breakfast this morning
    - My job is currently driving me crazy
    - I really need to stop procrastinating my house setup in SL
    - My feet are currently cold
    - I really need to get outside this evening and tackle the weeds

    That's all for now.  I'll come back later if I feel like sharing some more.

    I'm gonna be super stressed until I know whether that egg was soft-boiled or hard.

    Whats wrong with an M4 head? For me (a person who knows nothing about) it looks like it fits the anime theme pretty well.

    I'm not totally up to speed on SL lore, but I think somewhere along the line a group of people decided that everything made by Utilizator looked too young. I went to one adult area just after starting out (fortunately in a default AV and not my new-ish Kemono alt) and I swear there was a sign ranting about banning Kemonos every ten feet.

  6. Quite like black metal, doom, post-metal, sludge, mathcore, and drone, as well as some things that I suppose are hard to categorise like The Body. I know a few power metal bands, but not many - Pathfinder's Beyond the Space, Beyond the Time and Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys are both favourites. :)

    Industrial is also fun, death metal sometimes as well.

  7. I'm new enough that I could be doing something completely wrong here, but wanted to ask: I've got a Genus baby head, and got a Dura haircut with a pretty sharp undercut on one side of the head, pretty much like Natalie Dorner had five years ago. It wasn't until after I'd demo'd it that I realised I wasn't seeing anything apart from scalp on the shaved side. No problem, I thought - that's just the hairbase, I'll slap that on (it came with the hair), and everything will be great. Only thing is that I've added the hairbase, and nothing's happened; it's being worn, but not showing. Do some heads not support the hairbases that come with hairstyles? It doesn't look awful without it, but it could 100% look better.

    Real pain as well - the Genus discord is gone, the group times out when you try to chat, and the Dura group doesn't allow chats.

  8. I'm a zillion miles away from being an expert, but one thing I do know is that you want to do is get a load of demo heads and try them all out on your body. Also, I'd say choose your head before you choose skin tones, and then demo all the appliers that are meant to make your head and body match to make sure they do. You end up running around in a cloud of 'DEMO' labels, but you end up with a body and head that match up and have the same coloring! 

    Which head you choose is pretty much down to your preferences I think, but I like the Genus Baby, though the Genus Strong is also really nice - depends what you want your final look to be like!

    I was raised to be kind and help, so I think that if I were to see someone who just came on or was having a difficult time trying to put together their avatar and they ask. I will help. Does that mean that automatically we are friends, no. I am just doing a good deed and moving on with my day. But yes humans do have preferences and will choose who they talk to based on certain standards of their own. That is not snobbery, that is just a human being a human. I don't have to be someone's friend or partner if I don't want to. So this post is kinda redundant in the first place.

    Tell you what, I was standing in a body shop nude trying out sliders all of about four days ago and some kind woman spoke to me, escorted me to a sandbox and gave me a load of good advice on my very first day. Can't tell you how much I appreciated it - there's a lot to take in here! Thanks for being one of those people. :)

  10. It's a shame there seems to be less support for the Slinky Physique - you can actually give it a pretty petite profile on its own, and miracle of miracles, it's smallest bum size is actually pretty small! The Slinky hourglass less so, but I can't really complain about that when it's in the name. SL avatars really have gone all out on big bums, haven't they?

  11. I'm just starting off in SL, and also just starting off in getting my head around all the options for bodies and heads - I had no idea there were so many! I want a petite avatar - not adolescent, just petite, and I've noticed a few of the big brands have petite mods for some of their bodies. I wasn't sure though - if you get (for example) a slink physique hourglass body, does the petite mod make a mess of the clothes that you'd buy for the normal physique HG? I was searching for stuff like that in here, and saw someone saying that some clothes for the Maitreya with their petite add-on didn't quite look right. 

    Much as I'd like to have a petite AV, I also don't want an AV shape that means I can't buy any clothes!
