Last weekend SLuniverse,
founded and operated by Cristiano Midnight,
celebrated ten years online with a two day prom and party.
It was a formal affair.
So I went formal.
I like to fit in.
Thank you Cris, Munch, Bard, the DJs, and everyone who helped, took pictures, and attended.
You rock!

Who can tell me if we have heaven,
Who can say the way it should be;
Earth’s last picture, the end of evening
Hue of indigo and blue.
Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet,
Angel’s tears below a tree.
A new moon leads me to
Woods of dreams and I follow.
A new world waits for me;
My dream, my way.
I know that if I have heaven
There is nothing to desire.
Rain and river, a world of wonder
May be paradise to me.

Darkness as well as light.
Or do I mean darkness,
another kind of light?
Lucifer would say so,
and I have a weakness for fallen angels.

Ich kann dich nicht sehen, aber ich weiß, dass du hier bist.
Ich fühle es.
Sie wurden um hängen seit ich hier bin.
Ich wünschte, ich könnte dein Gesicht sehen.
Nur in die Augen schauen und sagen Ihnen, wie gut es ist,
hier zu sein. Nur um etwas zu berühren.
Siehe, das ist kalt, das fühlt sich gut. Oder zu rauchen.
Haben Kaffee. Oder wenn Sie es gemeinsam zu tun, das ist fantastisch.
Oder zu zeichnen. Du weißt, du einen Bleistift nehmen und Sie machen eine dunkle Linie,
 dann machen Sie eine leichte Linie und zusammen ist es eine gute Linie.
Oder wenn Ihre Hände sind kalt und reiben Sie sie zusammen.
Siehe, das ist gut, das fühlt sich gut.
Es gibt so viele gute Dinge, aber du bist nicht hier.
Ich bin hier.
Ich wünschte, du wärst hier. Ich wünschte,
du könntest mit mir reden. . . denn ich bin ein Freund.
Compañero.

I’ve had a little bit too much, much
All of the people start to rush, start to rush by
How does she twist the dance? Can’t find a drink, oh man
Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone
 What’s going on on the floor?
I love this record Stacia but I can’t see straight anymore
Control your poison babe, roses have thorns they say
And we’re all getting hosed tonight, oh oh oh-oh
Keep it cool, what’s the name of this club?
I can’t remember but it’s alright, a-alright
Wish I could shut my playboy mouth, oh oh oh-oh
How’d I turn my shirt inside out? Inside outright
Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay,
d-d-d-dance Dance, dance, just, j-j-just

I saw the best avatars of my generation destroyed by lag, primless hysterical ruthed,
dragging themselves through the wounded Nexus streets at dawn looking for an angry Spider,
angel winged cyberpunks burning for the heavenly multi-plexed connection to the
smoking asset server in the Second Life night,
who jaggy and clouded and hollow-primmed and high sat up smoking in the pixdark of
Suffugium cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating Gomi dubstep,
who bared their brains to Snark under the rusty Iron Tree
and saw Fate (Artemis) staggering on the Last Round’s roof illuminated,
who passed through welcome areas with radiant eyes hallucinating blade runners
and altered carbon tragedy among the scholars of Jessie and Stanford,
who were banned from the info hubs for crazy
and typing obscene code on the servers of the forums,
who cowered in unrezzed rooms in underwear,
burning their Lindens in oil barrels and listening to the Club-in-a-box through the wall,
who ate prim sushi in paint hotels or drank Dr. Peppers in Hard Alley,
CPU death, or purgatoried their primcocks night after night
with dreams, with Snowcrash, with internet nightmares,
griefers and drama and endless gray goo,
incomparable blind streets of shuddering textures and lightning in the mind
leaping towards poles of Ross & Ahern, illuminating all the lag frozen world of Time between,
who chained themselves to TP points for the endless ride from Luna to holy Plum on pre-mesh
until the noise of Dominus Shadows and newbs brought them down shuddering
pixel-wracked and battered bleak of brain all drained of brilliance in the drear li

Stone, wood, aluminum, glass.

Room to really stretch out.
Beachfront location.
Adequate shoe storage.
And only two floors down to the shops.

it’s a world of peculiar people
and places that look nothing like home
but it keeps turning
and turning even though
gravity happens…
and we don’t know it till after we’ve hit the ground
the world’s spinning faster
with each day that passes and each dashing hour
what am i to do?
i’ve broken my parachute
so if gravity happens
then i’ll fasten wings to my shoes

I like shopping and I cannot lie.
There are a million and one
and two and three things to buy.
Bags and boots and bangles oh my.
If I don’t buy them all

so I’ll just say bye bye.

Dost thou look back on what hath been,
As some divinely gifted woman,
Whose life in low estate began
And on a simple village green;
Who breaks her birth’s invidious bar,
And grasps the skirts of happy chance,
And breasts the blows of circumstance,
And grapples with her evil star;
Who makes by force her merit known
And lives to clutch the golden keys,
To mould a mighty state’s decrees,
And shape the whisper of the throne;
And moving up from high to higher,
Becomes on Fortune’s crowning slope
The pillar of a people’s hope,
The center of a world’s desire;
Yet feels, as in a pensive dream,
When all her active powers are still,
A distant dearness in the hill,
A secret sweetness in the stream.

I was looking for a good sim in which to shoot my latest outfit and blog post.
I did find that sim, but also something much more than just a photogenic backdrop.
I found an exhibition of avatar portraits and texts that really moved me with their matter of fact honesty and emotion.
The exhibition is called “Dreams”, and was produced by Photos Nikolaidis.
It’s one of the best I’ve seen in Second Life.
My dream?
Is that the dream continue.
