I’ll start by apologizing for my abrupt disappearance. I never intended to go this long without posting, but a few things happened in RL and SL that caused me to get out of exploring mode for a while.
In RL, I joined the ranks of IT management, and getting used to my new responsibilities put me in a different mindset. Exploring, you see, is a time consuming thing. Normally, I enjoy it, but I’d set myself up for making it a chore by giving myself a goal of doing 3 -4 posts a week. Coming home after my newly stressful days, the last thing I needed was for SL to become work. So I decided to slow down ad post when I could.
Then… I got the building bug again. It’s something without deadlines that I can do where I’m accountable to no one but me, I can work as little or as much as I want to. But mainly I re-discoverd Caledon and I felt like just had to try my hand at building Steampunk items. So I did (though you’ll find them to be rather… quirky). I’ve been building stuff ever since… I opened a store and even built a club next door where I run a weekly dance.
Anyway, I’m alive and well, I’ve got the hang of the new job and I’m much less stressed. I may even start exploring again
If you want to see what I’ve been up to, come visit the store (Goode Inventions) in Caledon SouthEnd. My new club, Sprockets, is right next door. I hold a Jazz Standards dance every Thursday at 7SLT. See you there!
