August 11, 2008 Monday

Well, this morning began with disaster. I deleted my house (was trying to delete a different object, I'll have to be Very Careful with that in the future). Talk about mistakes not to make again. I rezzed it again, of course, but the trouble is, is that Sammi (nice lady and part owner of Scilly), had done a lot of work the other day with editing the house, it's position on my land. So, I do have privacy back, but it's a little off with the positioning. You know how when you try to set a painting, you are like, "a little more this way", "a little more that way"? Try doing it with a house. There I was standing in my jammies and slippers and my furniture on my lawn. ha ha. Luckily no one was around. Now the door is not attached properly and some other weird things. I'm probably going to have to tweak it just a bit every day. It might actually be easier to delete and reset the furniture, we'll see. But I do need to line up the door. Sigh . . .

I next spent some time figuring out how to get my item inside a box and to sell (I asked someone). I think I got it working. Ralph (who I rent from) came and tested it all out for me. The tip jar still seems weird but I'll figure that out too. Maybe get rid of it.

So I have one free bracelet, and one 10 L bracelet. I still have to figure some stuff out, but I really feel good about it. For example, I"m using floating text to show what the item is, and I really need to get a picture on the front of the box. The floating text clutters things up, plus they wouldn't really be able to see how it looks.

Sp*t came, in fact, he was sleeping in one of the beach chairs when I got there. It looked so cute. He was waiting for me. So after he watched me fuss with my shop, we rode bikes around Scilly, mostly down to the light house. We flew up to the top of the light house. There are dancing spots up there (will have to go back, wink). Then I showed him Riverwalk Landings, we walked down the gallery dock, and ended at a spot where we could sit and eat dinner. It was a good day except for getting bald twice in front of him, and sitting in the salad first before figuring out the chair. But I really enjoyed the conversation, we were able to have a real one.

Next is still to work on my shop. I only have 20 prims total, so we'll see. And I am renting the spot for 150.00 so I basically need to sell two 75 L items a week to break even, which I dunno about that. I think I can put a landmark in the search database, but that costs another 30 a week, so I will have to sell three 75 L items. I probably can do that, but I'm going to have to get some nicer pieces. And maybe I can hang the bracelets without the boxes or the floating text, except they are so tiny. So we'll see.

I tried to put music on my parcel, but it didn't work really.

Put on my jammies and slippers, and went to bed.

When I returned, I did some inventory managing. Then I partied for some time at the Tube (getting on a cool outfit). Mena had lost all her clothes. So people gave her some, including me, a few things. Now I am meditating by my Japanese screen on my porch while I do some real life stuff. I also spoke to Starlight on IM for a bit; she knows I have a new house. Oh, and one thing, apparently Sp*t has mentioned me to his other friends (sweet) coz Jade and Axi (friends and fellow partiers at The Tube) said a little sumthin sumthin about it.

The day has continued with friends, dancing, organizing. I built several more bracelets and put them in a box to sell at my kiosk. I'm going to keep learning prim building at Ivory Tower, and then get textures from Sp*t, to do a few more pieces. 20 prims go fast. But when it's full I will get a second place and figure that one out, and link the two also.

Sp*t came buy. I bought a huge aquarium (it looked small in the store). And Sp*t watched me put that in, ha ha. That's about all he's doing. Ha ha. He is going to the seashore in RL, to make some photos. But he says it is blustery.

The lady next door had bought and put in a pool, ha ha. Just, pop! and it's there in my view out my window.

Sp*t continues to say he loves my company, and obviously it's mutual. This is strange. I wasn't expecting this. I honestly was just saying hi to someone, and here he is still with me, which is perfectly lovely. Course I'm not saying SL is RL, not at all. But it's still nice.

I looked at some friends' shops. Now I am pre-looking at land for the sanctuary.
