September 6, 2008 Saturday

The place where my cabin is keeps getting improved. The water is in the lake, and the trees surround the bank of the caldera.

I am "this" close to being ready to DJ. I think I have all my equipment and songs ready. I just need to sit down and work out times that I can work. In fact, I see that Runningbears have an empty slot today. So if I can get my ducks in order before someone else takes it, that is a possibility!

I went to one place called Samurai Japan. This was a very lovely place -- snowy mountains. They take their roleplaying seriously though; I'm not sure I can do that. I met a nice gentleman who stood ready to help. I think I will look at a few places before deciding, though.

I try to take two tours each Saturday. I went to a place called Midnight Fantasy, which was space, and dreamy, and garden themed. And then I went to October Country. That was a bit fun -- there were ghosts and a graveyard and pumpkins.

I'm actually really upset about the fact that I keep getting in a bit with married men. I have started asking, but I think I'm getting to where I'm just going to ask upfront before even the first dance. Because they certainly aren't upfront with it. And then I think I have a nice date partner, but then when I ask they say they are married. Bollocks. It makes me feel like crap and that's not what I'm on Second Life for. But it's my responsibility to protect myself, so . . . can't trust anyone, I guess.

I missed yesterday's activities, but when I was looking through Events today I came across Global Handshake. And it is being held at and near the Alahambra. I even ran into the gentleman who built the SL Alhambra, he was very kind and showed me where to go. He lives in Spain, and we commented how SL joins us all across oceans. The virtual world possibilities of peace and unity excite me. So anyway, I'm going to listen to some lectures and go to some music activies today in regards to Global Handshake. And maybe it is one more thing I can participate in.

I have been dancing at home (Scilly) last night and today so I check out my streaming music, and it's good that I did because I have a found a few songs that aren't streaming well, so I'll need to fix the Debut set.

I went to the Showcase which was Gibson Island, yes, the guitar. It was okay; I did take the trolley ride that circled the Island.

Well I see a snail race and skydiving today, but I probably won't get to it, because of the Global Handshake I'd rather do.
