As a great many people know, this time last week I was in a completely different place than I am today. It seems all of the plurking world has gone through a few ups and downs this week too, and I think its going to be refreshing for everyone in the end, when it all settles down, which, I hope is soon. Sometimes it takes a really good temper tantrum, a fit of emotions released in rash movements and 'mistakes' or errors of judgment, to find yourself on the better end of life again. As I said, last week I was in a different place and one night deleted my entire timeline. Aw, shame, thousands of replies and hundreds of plurks, just gone. More might have ended up deleted in this mood of madness, but thanks to Kerra I signed off and went to bed. I left my plurk gone for a couple of days before being talked into remaking my account and joining the plurkworld again. Do I regret deleting my old timeline? Not -one- single bit! Going through that friend list and deleting people would have taken forever, and there are so many accounts out there that are inactive that having a list with 300, 400+ people is easy, but a ridiculous thing to keep up with even with half of them inactive, most likely. Once my timeline was created and my plurk layout fixed I started the process of finding people to re-add and found myself in a mad whirl of activities! Dozens upon dozens of Welcome Backs, What did you DO!, and Don't ever do that again plurks and IMs in world made me laugh and realize that I had grown attached to some of the crazy people on plurk. Granted, not everyone accepted my add again (its ok, I don't mind, helps me weed out certain people anyway and that is awesome!) but in their place I have gotten over 100 new friends that I never had before! No, not everyone is always active, but my timeline seems to have a different feel to it than from before the deletion. So no, not a single regret, its the best thing that has happened to my plurk actually!  What else did this week bring, well, tons! I did a bit of a friend list clean up  The *Dreams* store is filled with a lot of accessory pieces that are absolutely adorable! Chokers, suckers for your mouth, leg straps (like the cupcake worn here) and so much more you really should pop over and take a peek. I picked up a neko tail and ears set first because I have missed being a neko once in awhile in SL and thought a new set would be nice. They are great! She also has a few pieces of clothing up as well, lots of Ts and such. One of the great things about her clothing is she does included it on as many clothing layers as she can, so layering with other pieces is a snap. I dug out an old pair of pants from Dutch Touch, my favorite Dilly Dolls shoes and a hair from Truth before starting to play with my windlight settings for the photos here. I used a couple of poses from Persona and one from Diesel Works for these shots, credits and SLURLS at the end of this post for you to TP right over and start shopping!  In other SL related news, the sim work that I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks is finally done. People are now more than welcome to come and visit us on the sim (and darn it all I logged out, will add a link soon or just check my in world profile for one) and we hope you enjoy it! We still have a couple of store spaces available right outside of the [42] main store location and ten (ONLY ten, ever) homes for rent. I still to get in world and find a tv and radio for renters to control their media, its on the top of my list I swear. The Grand Illusion studio is done and clients are already being welcomed to our home away from home. A grand opening for the sim is in the works, so if you would like a tour ahead of time or to participate in any of our activites please get in touch with us! After that, I've decided on my next project! Shapes. I can't tell you how many people daily will ask me where my shape is from, or if I will sell/give it to them. First let me say, I made my shape, and second...no! You cannot have this one, it is mine, and I am a greedy greedy wench when it comes to what is really mine. Instead, I have decided to get a handful of demo skins, or purchase more (I have to be careful, this could get expensive) and start making shapes to sell. So, if you catch me online and I am looking like ruth for a few minutes don't worry, thats just where I will be starting for each and every shape I make. I'm kind of excited about it, to be honest, and its a good project that should keep me busy so I don't rip up the sim and start over, again! Out of SL news is pretty much the same, per usual. Playing a lot of EQ2, WoW and the tiniest bits of Lineage2 again, with Sands. He has crazy work hours now because of the holidays, cant imagine running a handful of stores and dealing with people this time of year. Its crazy enough on this side of the shopping. Everything else in that regards is going fantastic right now, surprised? Good. Best to leave it that way huh! I hope that everyone has had a fantastic week, and that your weekend brings you good weather and great times with your loved ones. Don't do anything drastic...or wait, better yet, do! Leave them all wondering and wanting more....
