When you have been composing a reply to a post and close the editor before posting, what you have been writing is saved. When you next attempt to write a reply elsewhere in that same thread, your saved version appears, like so: "Blah blah blah, give me cupcakes with bacon in them, blah." The "Clear editor" link allows you to delete the old saved version of a previously interrupted reply. It sounds as though @cheesecurd would like some version of that "Clear editor" link to be available while composing any post, in any thread, especially while making posts with one or more quotes in them. I like this idea as well.

Quibbling Unanimity In Every Thread FORUM

I spent a fair piece of time today collecting demos at a store I'd just discovered. The clothes looked nice (on the non-SL models). I was pretty sure if they fit me as well as they fit the models, I was going to buy some that seemed my style, and perhaps try something new I might like. The store was well laid out. I gathered nine demos and took them to my house. The demos all had 5 minute time limits. Meh. Lots of other clothes to find.

I notice things. I have a high degree of perception and see subtle things that happen, when, in my experience (and according to my own perceptions) most other people don't. I consider it to be a blessing, though, unfortunately, it isn't always so. Sometimes I see things or make discoveries I wish I hadn't.

Cookies! Wienerstube… And Pepparkakor. I'm going to try this year to see how they turn out with gluten free flour. I've also been very fond of nice dark beers. But unfortunately my wibbly dietary needs preclude the consumption of wheat and barley based things.

Bra, sometimes. Panties, yes, if I'm wearing a dress or skirt. I've found a couple different mesh panties that work with quite a few of them and seem often to rez before any other mesh clothes, which is fortuitous. Otherwise it'll be appliers. I think underwear is one thing for which appliers are fairly well suited, as long as the textures are well made.

I've always had difficulty knowing how others see me. I feel it most acutely when I'm having trouble getting along with someone. But perhaps that's something everyone has. Sometimes I fantasize about having the ability to feel what someone else is feeling when relating to me. But then I worry that some of the many times I've felt accepted may simply have been a kindness and nothing more. Not all fantasies are meant to be realized. As an extension of myself into a virtual world, I relate pretty closely to my avatar's appearance. It always feels comfortably like me, if perhaps a little younger and prettier. In the beginning, I wore long gowns, long sleeves... modest clothing. I suppose this was influenced by my strong tendency to be a wallflower at parties, not wanting to attract a lot of attention to myself. Conversely, I rarely wore shoes, preferring to go about barefoot wherever I went. I just didn't like how shoes in SL worked, and sometimes looked. It seems an irony, now, that one of my least attractive features was also one of my least covered. So in these respects, my avatar appearance was influenced by my real frame of mind. I've changed over time. I've become more outgoing, more able to talk to and within larger groups of people, and to initiate conversations with strangers. I've talked about this in these forums before so I'll try to stay on topic here. Thinking about these changes, I recently realized that I don't really know if they're a direct result of my socializing in SL, or just the natural course of growing up. It's probably a combination of the two, in addition to other factors. People are complicated. I'm no exception. I don't make major changes to my avatar appearance based on daily or weekly variations in mood. Or, if I do, I haven't noticed. Perhaps others will see me differently, I don't know. If I've been feeling blue, I do have a few other shapes I've made, the only differences in which are subtle changes in the face, the turn of the mouth, the tilt of the brows, so as to have a slightly less cheerful look. But most of time, she looks happy, ready to smile at a friend. Other than strictly human, I'll also give my avatar the form of either a mermaid or a demon. The former is more common and involves some personal exploration and often a sort of solo, pretending roleplay. The demoness is more of an experiment. I use it for costumery, and just to see how different I can go. I guess I use it to push against my own boundaries. These two avatar forms will influence my mood and feelings, but not solely because of how I look, but also because of what I'm doing.
