#24 ~ Opaque

The Real
Not transparent or translucent; impenetrable to light; not allowing light to pass through.
Not shining or bright; dark, dull.
Hard to understand.
Opaque.

I always thought opaque was a beautiful word. It's meaning though sounds rather depressing. This is what you get for really learning about a GRE word.

#22 ~ Flicker...

The Real
The position was giving away. Back to the drawing board. I really hate being without a job. To someone that has been working since she's been fourteen years old - not working is a little weird, and not satisfying. I will keep my fingers crossed and keep plugging.

The Paradise
I haven't been rping lately. It's mostly been managerial things of late. We're only two weeks in. Eventually I will rp. Until then...stay tuned. Stories to come.

The Fashion
SL Art...I tried back a bit ago with windlight settings a couple years ago with Dou, when I went to Bentham Hollow to fool around.

Again, I step back into Bentham for The Menagerie - Theme 1: Beautiful Losers

Was a flicker, light

Rushed fast and pressed

Wings seemed hurried, churned

Breasts were heavy

Arms did cradle, empty

Thoughts spastic

Ideas made, answered

Realism sets in

Hand over stomach, full

Early morning cocktail

Holding hands, tight

Juice and crackers ate

Tears soothed, late

Empty beds did make

Strained emotions, tossed

Memories all but lost

#14 ~ She only comes out at night...

The Real
A while ago - that is, a few years back, I used to write a lot. When I would write, it would be mostly poetry. Maybe a few words of prose, a couple short stories, and now and then a keepsake of memories laid out on a notebook to which words would tumble out in such a way that they would sound like whimsical music to the ears.

Even now, those words tremble like tiny notes in the breeze.

Then I stopped writing.

I'm not sure why I did. But when I stopped, I had no outlet. For a while I couldn't decide what to do with myself. Then while I was thinking and doing my own thing I came upon role-playing in Second Life. Within role-playing I was able to story tell. I was able to capture a story and tell it through my eyes.

But it also went beyond. I could create a character.

Those characters...could be anyone...and because they could be anyone, it allowed me to be open with myself and do things that would be unspeakable. To get down and dirty: sex, drugs, and rock & roll. That's what role-play is about - story telling. Whether you are doing it within a post apoc sim, a gorean sim, a steampunk sim, or a dirty urban city sim - it's story telling.

It keeps my fingers nimble and my mind creative.

The Paradise
We are moving along. Slowly but surely, Paradise Lost is gradually getting people and stories. It's taking it's time but we're getting people.

The Fashion
The Season's Gatcha - Winter has opened up. I themed some of my things around an idea of what someone in my sim would wear...a girl caught on her way back to the flophouse in the early morning after a night of work...
