Ivanova Shostakovich

Start The Undulations For Francis. FILLY

A long time ago I lived on Conway 4. It was a region rented by a friend who gave me control of it for the last month of his lease. He was a UK guy going on holiday. I didn't do nearly as much with it as I could have. I did learn a lot about terraforming there. And as with many things in SL, it's long gone now.

I'm an INFP I get grumpy if I don't frequently have time to myself, time where I'm completely alone. If I was talked into going to a party, I preferred to stand somewhere, unnoticed, and watch other people do their thing, get their group groove on. I was the one at the party who was always internally thinking of reasons to leave the party. I can engage and participate in a social, crowd type situation, even enjoying myself. But this is something I learned how to do, and it will usually entail my spending a longer than usual amount of time alone, pursuing solo activities, and recharging. I like booths at restaurants. I enjoy (and sometimes not so much) having a high empathy and perception in social situations. This is somewhat muted in SL, as it either lacks many of the cues I can perceive in real space, or they are muted. I don't like to see others in conflict and will often feel a desire to help resolve it, if not actually act to do so. Often enough I'm fully aware there's nothing I can do. It's a special kind of pain. My family has learned over time that it's ok for them to go do something fun even if I don't want to go along, and that often it's something I actually need.

It's so quiet in here.

I certainly hope you've had some fun with it as well.

Looks like I'm just going to have to wait and see if they show up in the store. Maybe I should endeavor to keep up with events as well.

I'm currently in the rabbit hole of searching the marketplace for the boots pictured in the MP 'find new shoes for Fall' banner.

For me it's pretty simple. I love the people I have met and gotten to know. I love building and creating things. I love exploring.

Oi! That was almost a year ago! Time flies.

I'll take a dozen Cointreau please.

Holiday mint M&Ms are something I look forward to every year. They are seasonal so I make a point of buying a few bags of them when they appear on the shelves. As with all M&Ms, I suck on four or five at a time, melting and dissolving them. So good. Years ago I was at a mall with a friend. We were approached by someone doing a market test of chocolate goo filled chocolate Twizzlers. I declined the offer, but she tried one. Unsurprisingly, I never saw them come to store shelves.

It was about 1994 when I got strongly curious about the Russian language. I have since then dabbled, experimented and doodled with it. When I chose a name for my avatar, I'd decided I wanted something that sounded Russian. I figured out a first name after thinking about it for a while. Of course, I wanted something feminine. But at the same time I wanted something strong, something that I thought reflected my own will. I hadn't really gotten a lot of experience with the naming conventions of Russia. It was after I'd chosen Ivanova that I began to realize it was more of a patronymic. But it doesn't really matter now. I like it. Shostakovich was only the second last name that came up in the lists. It immediately clicked with me. И это все!

I made a map HUD for organized mermaid swims. It would update itself as the user traveled through the planned course. As in the method @KT Kingsley describes, it was mesh and I designed it so that it had no faces on the back side, save for a small button to restore it. When it was minimized (rotated), you could click or grab camera focus on any object in the screen space occupied by the HUD, just as if it wasn't even there, as long as you didn't touch the restore button. It's a fast and easy way to get it out of the way when you need more of your screen.

Nope. For the same reason I don't do gacha, I would not be bothered to visit several places for the pieces of a single outfit. If a creator wants to sell to me, follow the three As: make it attractive, make it affordable, and make it available.

Any planned AFK moments I might have usually won't last more than ten minutes. If I'm going out, or going to bed, or indeed engaging in any other activity that precludes the possibility of using my computer, I'll log out. If I'm not going to actually be at the computer, if I'm not going to see any incoming communication, I don't really consider myself as being an in-world presence.

Gilded.

Yes. It's why I posted it.

The world-relative rotation of an object attached to Avatar Center does not change with avatar animations and movement.

It's completely cool to create outfits and looks for a little less. Indeed, it's what many residents may need to do.

I absolutely had to go out and find some nice black leather pants to go with this lovely jacket GoSpeed got for me.

As sometimes happens, I forgot about my rezday. Thirteen days ago I passed twelve years here. It's actually hard for me to believe.

Before I left work this afternoon, a co-worker and I were chatting. She had been listening to hearings on NPR and was expressing to me how she appreciated the way well spoken people can make themselves clearly understood using short sentences, words everyone can understand, and without a lot of 'ummms' and 'ahhhs'. Then we shared words that we each liked. "Eloquence." she said. "Apperception." I said. "Epiphany." she said. "Dichotomy." I said. "Serendipitous." she said. "Perspicuity." I said. "Oooohh, I like that one." she said "What does it mean?" I thought for a bit, drawing a blank. Laughing, I said "I can't remember the definition." Later, when I had parked at the grocery store, I looked that one up. Upon relearning the definition, I realized the irony of the moment.
