I apologize up front, this is a longish post. If you read all the way to the end though, I think you’ll have a good laugh.

Most of us collect quotes.  Whether it’s a pic in our profile or a series of notecards we keep.  Below are just a few that I’ve collected over the last 2 years.  It’s by no means a complete list, just the ones I want to share.  If you have any you’d like to share, leave a comment!

*warning, those easily offended, stop reading.

Love you all….

Bails <3 

Anyone who has rezzed a prim has probably deleted part of their house or changed the texture or moved it some random amount straight up in the air and has no idea how to fix it.  At that point after you panic you frantically call someone to come and help you praying they have more skills than you.  I’ve done it many times and I wouldn’t call myself an in-experienced builder.  I learned by watching other people, by disecting what they created to see how it was done, by asking questions and literally by messing things up.  As with most things, practice will enhance your skills but when you don’t know what you can do how can you practice right?  Well I’m going to help with that.  I’m going to offer some building classes.  We aren’t going to make anything though.  We are going to destroy stuff and put it back together.  We are going to learn about how texturing works.  I’m going to show you how stuff is made, how to look for the root prim, how to resize stuff and how not to panic.

Interested?  Good.  Drop me an IM in world.  I’ll do the first class in the next couple of days.  It’ll be on Angel Square.  I’ll send a LM out to whoever is interested.

… twice shy?  I think not!

I’m sure the majority of you have noticed the obvious changes in my appearance in the past few days.  Nope, don’t need sun.  Yes, my teeth have grown.  Yes my eyes are … different.  

There is no need to be worried, I do not eat my friends.   Cross me and all bets are off though. 

And before anyone asks, no I won’t turn you, no I don’t need slaves, and no I don’t need human servants.  Thanks for all the lovely offers but really, no.  This particular Vampire is quite happy as she is.

Let me answer a few questions shall I…

1.  Yes I wear black a lot.  I’ve always worn black a lot.  It’s nothing to do with being dead, it’s just what I like.  Oh yes it does look good against my skin, thank you for pointing that out.

2.  No, I will not burst into flames in the sun.  I live on a tropical island ffs. 

3.  No, I do not sleep in a coffin.  Nor do I sleep underground.  I’ve a nice comfy bed tyvm. 

4.  I love garlic.

5.  Just because I’m dead doesn’t mean I’m going all emo.

6.  Yes Dev knows, no I haven’t bitten him, no he doesn’t mind.

So, there you have it.  I’m a Vampire. 

Oh, don’t even try with the stake thing…  It doesn’t work, it’s a myth.

Some of you may have noticed an increase in new residents over the last few days.  When I say increase, I mean a constant stream of new residents landing on the islands where new residents take their first steps.  If you aren’t a Mentor you may not have noticed.  I am a Mentor and spent a few hours on one of the Help Islands working with these new residents.  Why the influx?  Well apparently the media in Europe had been broadcasting about sex in SL and a RL couple getting divorced because of it.

It shouldn’t be much a surprise then to find quite a few new residents looking for sex in SL.  It happens every time one of these stories runs.  You never see this kind of coverage when for example the Crown and Pearl last year raised in the neighborhood of $3,000USD for Cancer Research.  Or when the Relay for Life raises thousands of dollars and has hundreds of people involved.  Nope, we get the big media push for sex.  I suppose people would rather read about sex than any charity.  Ok, fair enough but, if the media was really doing it’s job, it would do a bit of research.  There are positives and negatives to everything.

So, back to sex and the noob.  Sounds like a game show huh.  lol  Felt like one over the weekend, or perhaps it was a combat simulator.  In any event, I was asked more than once how to have sex, where to have sex, if I would have sex, would I teach them sex, and oh my favorite, *can I haz money to have sex with you*.  Sorry, I don’t pay people to have sex nor do I pay them to have sex with me.  I’m soooo not that desparate. LMFAO

So if you see a naked noob running around asking for sex, now you know why.

Sometimes you just never know what’s going to happen at the Crown.  I say that in all honesty.  Whether it’s attack of the Penguins, attack of the sculpted Noob or any variation on that theme, you just never know.

Last night was no exception.  A typical Tuesday you’d think.  Bonni dj’d, then I dj’d and then Prad dj’d.  So that’s about 7  hours straight of live(well live as in not radio) music.  We had a good crowd going all night.  Some new faces and old ones.  Everyone is welcome at the Crown.  Whether it’s a new resident or an old timer, all are welcome.  You’ll even find a Linden hanging around every now and then.

So last night with the usual nutty suspects  around you never know what will happen.  And so, the *Haven’t slept with Prad* club was born.  I honestly don’t know how it happened.  All I remember clearly is Lands daring Prad to dare her to do it, and him doing it.  And so, it was born.  She’s got a post all about it on her blog here .  Now we all pick on Prad unmercifully.  He always takes it fairly well usually jumping in himself.  I think my favorite quote of the night was *who is prad?* made by one of the patrons last night.  She or he was not a regular of the bar and wasn’t familiar with who was who. 

There were other bouts of insanity last night as always.  Far too many to comment on and you really had to be there.   So please, stop by the Crown and Pearl some night.  You’ll be glad you did!

Ok, enough of the heavy topics on the blog for awhile.  Today lets talk about what’s coming up for Angel Square, The Reach and The Crown and Pearl.

First The Reach… Fall and winter will descend on the Reach in the next month or so.  Look for another photo contest once everything is all wintery and icy.   Skating parties on the inlet and sledding down the hill.   I love Christmas so don’t be surprised if the decorations are up early.

Angel Square…  There are shops available to rent.  If you know anyone looking for a reasonable rent have them contact me.  Coming soon the Square will be an art gallery.  Yes I know there are loads of galleries in SL.  I’m hoping to make this one different.  This will be open to anyone who wants to exhibit a few of their pieces.  Just a few rules though… If there is a theme set, your pics need to be in the theme or i’ll return them to you.  No artist will get more than 3 boards in which to display their art.  You’ll have the ability to change them whenever you want.  In order to exhibit, you need to IM me so I can add you to the Angel Square group and give you have build rights.  This is not a place to sell your items.  If you want to do that, there are shops open to rent.   This is a gallery for people to exhibit their work within SL.  

The Crown and Pearl… I’ve heard rumblings coming from under the floor lately.  Everyone knows there is a crypt under the Crown right?  I’m not quite sure who Prad buried under there or if the burial ground was already there when he started building but I wouldn’t be surprised to find the dead crawling out from under the floor.  You really just never know what’s going to happen at the Crown.  Especially at this time of year.

So, that’s the big news.  There’s some land available for rent or sale on Angel Square so IM me if you’re interested.  Or you can leave a comment here.

Someone had tagged me with this meme ages ago, via email, before I had my blog.  I found it today cleaning out my archives and decided to share it.   

List 3 things..

1.  Who is this sexy black cat, I’ll scratch behind those ears.  rawr

2.  OMG I really didn’t just say that to HIM!

Go for it guys!

Those of you who know me know that I co-own the bar the Crown and Pearl with my very good friend Prad Prathivi.

The Crown started as a place to hang out for all of our friends when the Three Lions closed last year.  Prad, Kendra and I had been managers of the pub and decided to open up our own bar so that our friends had someplace to go to just hang out, dance whatever. 

So.. we bought some land, Prad designed(with some input) and built the Crown.  It was quite successful.  We had some live acts and a few nuclear accidents but all in all, a great place.

When I bought Angel Square it made sense to move the Crown.  Why keep paying tier when I owned a sim.  So, earlier this year we moved the Crown to Angel Square where it now resides.  I’ll have to apologize here, I’m writing this from work and don’t have landmarks.   But we’re in search

Prad redecorated the Crown this week.  It looks awesome!  We even have a bar!  Imagine that. lol  So come on by.  There is usually someone DJing from 12pm SLT.  Oh, and for the ladies, Miss Ryker Beck made the most gorgeous exclusive necklace!  And it’s free!!!  It’s sitting on the DJ booth so feel free to grab one when you come by. 

Don’t just grab a necklace and go though.  Stay awhile.  Meet some new people.  You’ll be glad you did.  The Crown has some of the nicest, friendliest folks in SL.  I realize I’m biased but come see for yourself!

I’ll add landmarks to this post later when I get home.

Hottest Male Av round one voting has started.  Go now and vote!  These men are certainly hunky and Praddles is in the running!

So, go vote for him!
