Hmm, what an SL weekend.

The following isn't necessarily in any order.

I got paid Lindens for my first job!!! This was writing the guide to a romantic spot for Edge and for Wonderful Evenings.

I did attend a couple of lectures on Saturday at Global Handshake festival. I learned some things about making a trustworthy space, and I'm now part of the Convivencia Institute. I'm sure you'll hear more about these groups that came together for the Global Handshake, because I imagine getting deeper involved.

I had the wonderful . . . heh . . . experience of getting my account disabled. I wasn't able to get on Second Life for about 2 days. NOOOOOT GOOOOOD. Ha ha. I was in pain. But I did call the Linden billing line and they helped me out, and in the end I was able to get a new password. I didn't really understand why my account had been disabled; only that they said it had been "compromised". So I guess I'm glad the Lindens watch for these things. I also was helped nicely by live online support chat, but the onlly thing they could do was tell me to call the billing office.

I now have rented the Cedar Lake Cabin, as it is called, at the Runningbears. I had been shopping for some things for a while before. I have put up my stained glass and my Aztec art. I put up the baby grand piano, plus a slow dance pose ball set nearby. The piano plays Titanic's "My heart will go on." Very soothing. I have about 4 different fireplaces, but none of them worked. I also have about 3 different hot tubs, and none of those worked. Can you say . . . more shopping??? Ha ha.

I have met another nice gentleman, heaven. He has been very kind, and we have been enjoying dating over the weekend.
