Spoiler, Spoiler Alert!


Kobo doesn't like having his photo taken before getting a chance to 'throw his face on.'  After all, mama used to say, "Always look yer best and wear clean underwear."  The spoiler however, isn't the fact that at the time this photo was taken, there was a very good possibility Kobo didn't have any underwear on, but it reveals a peek at our upcoming show on December 17th @ 7p hint hint here's the link:  LM to our Theater.

Where in the wold is Wild Catnap?....translation = D R A M A

Me, working on this blog.

I see this message the other day from a girl named "J."  I don't know this person, she is not a friend or  an acquaintance in world but she messaged me, I guess because she was 'worried about me' and wanted to 'warn' me about Wild.....I think not, there is ONE reason why this girl messaged me....so she can be in the middle of a very serious drama going on concerning Wild.  Well you all know me, you know I don't involve myself in any type of drama, I get enough of that when I log out of Second Life.  So her message "Do you know Wild Catnip?"  Uhm...it's Catnap you dope.  Not only did she misspell her name, the information that she gave me regarding Wild was not accurate at all...I know this because I know exactly what is going on with Wild.  So I told her that she knows I know Wild or she would not have messaged me, then I shooed her away.

I am not here to tell Wild's story, so if that's what you're here for, get your fucking eyes off of my page, you'll get no juicy Wild information from me.  The drama stops here my friends.  I have been in game for ten years, and there isn't anything I haven't seen before and nothing will surprise me in the future.  This leads me to my next point........

"You can be any one you want, in both worlds." ...how can you disprove a story?

Now, come on, I'm just keeping it real here, you may think you know the people behind that screen but YOU DON'T.  The only exception to this rule is a face to face meeting, getting to really know the person behind the avatar.  Now I'm not saying that the people that I am closest to in game are deceiving, I'm just saying if they are, I'm not going to get freaked out about it because it's not my first time at the rodeo......or the second......or the third...... You get my drift.

I feel bad for Wild, something changed in her around this time last year and because I don't know her personally, I have to take the word of the person who came close to her, the person who took her into her home with the hope of getting Wild back on her feet.  All you need to know is that it didn't work out and now Wild is in the wind.

The Wild I met four years ago is not the Wild you've been hearing about lately, that person is a stranger to me.  She is one of the very few people in this game that leaves me very sad that I won't see that Wild from four years ago anymore.  The Wild who had big dreams for her dance team, who enjoyed dance so much all she could think about was having a team who could create something for every show that we did.  Yes, I was the diva behind the Queen, putting her thoughts and dreams on paper to create this awesome team that I am so proud to be a member of.  I will miss the lost floating prims that belonged to her because she was trying to do something and it got away from her.

May 1, 2016 - Wild dropped a house in my yard.
From clean across the sim....BY ACCIDENT.

It is not my business to understand your real life.  I don't care for your SL drama either.  I don't log into sl thinking, "What kind of drama can I get into today?" Like many of you do.  So leave me alone, stop thinking that I am a bitch for feeling this way and find something productive to do with your Second Life like I did mine.  All drama does is waste my time.  The more you tell me about your drama, the less I listen so now that you know this, you know it's futile to come to me with any of your business, or someone elses.  Unless I ask for it, I don't need to know.

I am very happy knowing that the circle of friends I currently keep feel the way that I do - and I'm saying that because I didn't want ya'll to think this post was about youse - - oh noooo!!  Anywhoo, this situation doesn't even come close to some of the things I've seen in sl....I should write a book about it.  Anyhoo I'm outie.

Calm....


This is how my life has been for me in a virtual world for the past three years, pretty much.  Still had to weed out drama, fake drama, and losing people - some I miss, most I don't.  But this is where I am today, completely relaxed every time I log in.  I am continuing to make changes to keep that perfect balance between my responsibilities in game, and in my real life.

I am not the same person I was a year ago, or three years ago when I started dance for that matter.  I owe a lot to Windy and Wild, I don't think either one of them truly knew their part in opening this door for me.  It has been bittersweet, people judging my work, realizing the concept that the more they hate you the better your shit is.  Remove the negativity surrounding the team and finally getting the balance we have been craving for so long.

I started to venture out from the team and find other things in game that I would enjoy doing, I bought a sailboat and a plane and although I feel I have pretty much mastered steering a sailboat on the Blake Sea, learning to fly a plane over it is a much harder task.  But it's fun, and when I'm on the boat I find a quiet spot in the Blake Sea, set anchor, and switch over to whatever it is I want to do.

It's my SL, and I'm gonna live it my way - the days of torturing myself to make others happy died a very long time ago.  I am in a good place, and intended to stay there.

.....That is all from me today.  Buhbye for now..  :-D

Bittersweet


Last Tuesday, a long standing, dedicated, and friend to all resigned from the team last Tuesday.  It was very abrupt and very out of character for him.  I was angry because regardless of what he told me, I knew it had something to do with his new bride, who had also joined our team.  She has no dance experience so she wasn't really clear on what to expect - if she read the google doc for our team maybe she would have, but alas, he is gone and it's a real shame because one thing he loved to do was dance.  But I respect his decision to give up what he loves doing because he loves his bride more - I totally get that, I just think it's a shame that she didn't stick around long enough to see what we we're about.

So again, we move forward.  He will always be welcomed back to our team.  I wish them both nothing but happiness.

My After Show Thoughts....


Every time we finish a show I have the urge to want to sit down and write about it.  After eight months of taking care of DX with the help of our members, I feel my lightest - my intention when I came to this game almost ten years ago was not anything short of just having a good time, and that's exactly what we do.  We don't draw in the kind of crowds that stress out a sim and cause lag - not that we wouldn't like the idea of that many people wanting to see us at the same time because that would be amazing indeed, but with the smaller crowds it means less work the simulator has to do and a better chance of having minimum issues with lag.  I figure if we have to deal with lag, chances are that our guests are suffering from it to and this can cause issues with sets rezzing properly or jerky choreography.  We have been very fortunate, as the team has learned how to deal with laggy situations.  Some of the places we travel to don't always have estate rights where they can reset the sim so we have to be prepared for anything, and we are - which makes what we have so great.  We all work together to produce our shows, which is something Wild always wanted for this team.  Working in harmony......oh it's not perfect, but it's damn close.

We are enjoying putting on shows, whether it's a crowd of 8 or 38, and no one complains....we all just want to be able to chill at the computer doing what we are doing and showing it off as much as we all want to.

We will go as far as we want to go.  :-D

Sabotage


So I blasted a post on facebook because I found it so extremely pathetic that someone would deliberately try to sabotage one of my dances.  But it happened, this evening as I opened for the first time at a new venue, just a place where I could relax, run my dances and have some fun.  I knew when I looked at the group list there were people in there that would not be too happy about my presence on this team.  I had no idea to what juvenile lengths they would go to make their presence known, and it was done in the most childish way possible.

So let me do what I do best, give you the breakdown as to what happened this evening:

I'm at the venue, I have Jade and Ary with me and we are performing one of my favorite dances, "Whore" by In This Moment.  First time here and they do things very differently from what I'm used to and I'm a bit nervous, but calmed down fast when we were ready to roll halfway through my intro song.  So the song rolls, everything is going great when about 15 seconds before my dance is over, the curtain closes.  Now at this theater it's not so much a curtain as it is a prim that disappears and reappears when your dance is done.  Considering that you are prompted to open or close the curtain, this was by no means an accident, and it didn't take me long to form my extremely short list of suspects.

I was angry at first because well, that's just your first reaction when something like this happens.  Then I laughed because I know of only one person who could fuck up a sabotage and surprise, they were present at the theater and had rights to open and close the curtain.  I mean come on, if you're going to sabo someone, you don't do it at the end of the song, where the only person who knows the curtain should not have closed that soon was me.  I have not given this person a second thought since November 7, 2015 until today when my curtain closed early.  It's nice to know you are no more a professional now then you were back then.  You still lack maturity, and self worth.  As I said on my facebook page, you really need to focus more on your own shit and less on mine.  I actually feel sorry for you, the way you devalue your self worth by attacking someone who has no contact with you for nine months, who doesn't even travel in the same circles as you and has no interest in what you do and for whom you do it for.  All the issues you have with me are not my fault, and not my problem.  You created these issues out of jealousy and for many reasons, not just one.

As a mature, professional woman I just want to say that I would never disrespect the work that you do like you have done mine.  I may not like you or what you stand for, but I wouldn't mess with your work.  You should be ashamed of yourself - you are a horrible representation of the dance community!

Now I am human, and I got angry, but I don't give these things much thought past the rant in my blog and that's why I blog, so I can get it all out and then move the heck on.  Its really sad, this year is my tenth year in game and this type of behavior doesn't surprise me, because it's all over SL.  Those who are bullied in RL become the bullies of SL.  Not all of them but a lot of them, because they can hide safely behind a computer monitor and you will never really know who they are.

Its funny because as much of an introvert that I am, I probably have more enemies than your typical assholios.....go figure! Oh well what more can I say?  When the day was done it didn't stop people from messaging me and sending me pictures.  And I still had a great time, and hope to be able to bring more of my dance there.  Either way, keep the music flowing and the dances going!!

The Worst Mom In Second Life

Worst Mom In SL


Who loses her two only daughters in SL in one night?  This girl does!  What did she do?  She was loyal to herself first, selfish cold hearted bitch!  Isn't SL grand??



You didn't respect my boundaries, I don't care what it is you think I did wrong and whatever your issues are, they are no longer mine.  See I don't talk about cutting people from my life, When I am done, I am done.  No fight back, no arguments, just done.  You don't disrespect me like I have been disrespected and think yer gonna stay on my friends list.  That shit don't happen......buhbye.

I'm a mom where it counts, in the real world.  Now I'm gonna go be one.

A Poem by: Dejaye Barracuda


Roses are red
Violets are blue
You got the answers?
I'm one up on you.

I wrote the rules your breaking
No surprises here
So don't start getting stupid
Cuz this chick ain't going there.

So play your game if that's your wish
And do those things you do
If it  helps you to get through your day
I'm happy to accommodate you.

My margarita is getting warm
I have better things to do
Then sit here and figure out this poem
When I'd rather just say 'fuck you!'
