I have lost count of the times I’ve done it and you’ve long since lost interest in hearing about it, but I’ve picked up and moved across the grid again. The lag was getting worse and I am still pissed about that 450L item that will not rez (does not exist in database).
If it makes reading this any less painful (and I doubt anything will), I finally took a major hit on the old land. In the past I’ve been able to price 1024m at a good price where a bot appears and hands me L right there. Today it was like trying to get a date for Louie Anderson. I know I wasn’t getting in the 4k range, so I started going down in the 3s, but instead of the nice bot who normally appears and shows me the money, I heard nothing but my pleading at the pixels to just give me a number beginning with 3. Pixels can’t hear and we went in the 2s. This should not surprise us I guess since there is perhaps a lot of mature land out there right now and there will only be more as the migration to the adult continent proceeds. Won’t be a sellers market for a long while.
With no home and an inventory full of what should be on my land, I of course headed to the Xstreet terminal so I could give them what little I made off the sale since you have to have new things for your new home (which I didn’t have – moreso spending blowing this money). My dreams of wonderful new things died in a violent automobile accident when I was throw 50 feet into a wall. Look people, I want you to have a realistic avatar as well, but not if your idea of that includes nasty holes. Please. Stop.
It appeared things were looking up for a moment when I found some cool stuff on display at a land sale that took my mind off ear infections, but after reading the fine print I found out these items were not included with the land. Damn shame since I was thinking about a Boflex or something to get in shape. Bait and switch if I ever saw it but I needed a home and I handed over my Ls and he carted off his heart smart cardiovascular equipment. Before he drove off I did ask if he knew where I could get the same kind of equipment, but the note card he handed me went to some weird robot educational display. I wasn’t sure what to do since at 5′8 I am in the middle and could get injured just putting things somewhere without knowing it’s safe. I had to think on it.
About three hours later when I tested both options a few to make sure it was safe, I headed back to my new land and decided I could work anytime but I could only meet my neighbors and hopeful new BFFs once.
On my first side is a strip club which was cool until I decided to apply for some people who I knew would be flattered and insane with rage, but found they want me to have like boobies and stuff even if they aren’t visible. I didn’t intend to give them to my avatar either, but I know dudes who have girl avatars and it just doesn’t matter since it’s a freaky rendered experience on your monitor. Seems dumb.
Next side was yet another damn kiddie avatar vendor. It’s getting so these are everywhere. This one was only a little different since it dared to show flesh and totally missed the point of watching your child avatar grow up. It’s unnerving if he just looks more crazy and angry each year until he stops at what looks to be a serial killer.
I was about ready to give up and get to work when I saw the Dutch flag. I knew it would be fun since the Dutch in SL have only one trade. The repacking of shit on an unmatched massive scale. Sure enough, I was greeted by huge stacks of boxes that contained freebies even the Junkyard wold reject like this damn ugly shirt I have gotten in about 20 different texture packs. They may of been selling new animations because they had a big sign about not reselling full perm ones, but if they are like this scary weapon one, I don’t think that will be a problem.
I headed back to my new land stopping only once to wish this store would also carry a Rihanna avatar.
The work was brutal and back breaking, but it couldn’t of been more than a few seconds before Antfarm Plaza was open for business. It’s still locked since I don’t have all the important displays and exhibits that you want to see, but don’t worry I will give you a sneak peak of the coming attractions such as the inspiring story of how I was a loser bitch with shit hair like so many of you and was still able to get where I am today. Interactive features that educate like little Austin who tells you important facts about me. And of course – the many many awards I have collected over the years from the ceremonies I have invited myself to so I can honor myself.
The theme is basically annoyance. If I annoy some people now, just knowing that such an insane self stroke temple exists has to push them just one more step closer to loosing it. If I can cause that, I’ve done my job. If I can get you into a free Adric shirt that they see and start twitching their face muscles uncontrollably— cherry on top.
Until then, enjoy the view.
