I don't even know what to name this post.......

This is me chillin....cuz I really need to.

Over the past few months, I've had a front row seat to a lot of drama that has been going on.  I tell people all of the time that I am drama free and I truely mean it, I chose different outlets to vent my feelings and its more therapeutic to me than the outlets that the majority of people in SL use.  There are times however when I can't even avoid the drama, because for some people....they just can't help themselves.

I just don't get it....why do people have the desire to create drama?  When I read drama the only sound going off in my head is "cackle cackle cackle..blahblahblah."  Stop it, please.  I come to SL to have fun and get away from it.  Drama example:

I was in a hateful mood today - this is when even I create drama of my own, though not on purpose.  I don't have a filter on my thoughts or what comes out of my mouth, and I don't care how people take that.  There was an issue that came up in a group I'm in where I felt the need to state my opinion.  People who shouldn't have been bitching, were bitching and I simply pointed a few things out...being real so to speak because I will tell it like it is - it was a generalized statement.  Well that post got removed.  So I got pissed and posted my thoughts on my own page so that there was no chance of it getting deleted.  My post was dramatic - after all if I'm diving into the shit it might as well be the shit that is my own creation.  So I post my rant on facebook and within a few hours SIX people messaged me wanting to know what was going on, did it have to do with them, who did it have to do with...details....details.  LOL    PEOPLE - LOVE - DRAMA.

No one walked away satisfied I can assure you.  I'm not in the business of gossip either.  There is a reason why I choose not to be popular, not to  have 238574 friends on my facebook page that I don't know - although accepting them does serve a purpose for me.  :-P  There is a reason why I can count my sl family on one hand and my friends on the other.  People are too complicated and often grate me.  Because of this, it's very easy to be real and speak my mind, cuz I don't care what anyone thinks...its is what it is.

Wow...I've suddenly lost interest in this topic, think I'll just log it from here...nite!

One Down, One To Go

May is Dance Xcetera's anniversary month.  One year ago today I sat with Wild countless times as she tried to figure out what direction she wanted to go after resigning from the It Girlz n Fellaz dance team.  She had a vision and wanted help to bring it to fruition.  I was more than happy to offer her my assistance, dancing in Second Life is in my blood now, and I couldn't get enough of it.

DX started out with only 15 members, and has more than doubled it's size a year later - we currently have 56 members.  Almost half of the troupe are directors, with several dancers interested in creating dances for future shows.  I am honored to be part of such an amazing team.

I produced the Anniversary Show because it is very special to me.  I have said often, that dancing in SL breathed new life into me, it gave me an outlet to express my feelings, and I wanted to celebrate it.

Show #2 starts tomorrow at 3pm slt, and I can relax a bit because I'm not running any dances in this one.  We have an awesome lineup so if you're reading this and  you don't have any plans tomorrow, please come out and join us.  Take photos, we have a photo drop box and I'd love to start adding photo's from our audience!

Tonight was amazing, and we have one more night before we close out the show.  This one is going to be extremely bittersweet.  So here I am signing out for the night, I have a big day tomorrow and this girlie needs her beauty sleep.  Until then.....
