SL/Consequences of Voice pt. 7

Halloween

"Tonight I will be on mic so you can hear my new doorbell ringing."

"I will try not to sound two pounds heavier by tomorrow, but don't be surprised if I am."

"Tomorrow is NOT a day off work so if you hear me scream tonight, that's because of frustration--not because I'm scared."

Overheard

"Tonight is 'All Saints Day-Eve' so we can prepare for tomorrow where we will find out via Wikipedia who is the saint responsible for curing our acne."

SL/Encounters in Welcome Area pt. 25/Where on the planet are you, time-wise?

(Florida to London)

Soy: I'm north of Thursday right now.

Soy: You say you are already in Thursday?

SL/Turkey meet human

[17:00] Turkey: sir, you are stepping on my foot
[17:00] Fafiar Beck: sorry
[17:01] Turkey: it's ok, i have 3 more

SL/Halloween Party (turkeys invited)

The Mandarin Theater in all its Halloween glory.


/
/
/
/
This is DJ Kalia suspended inside a spider web on stage!


The strippers all strip, of course, but they start out with evening gowns and work their way down. It has a lot of class.

(BabyHoney, Elle, and Bongo deserve a lot of credit for the place.) As a turkey, I find the grounds very stimulating.


/
For instance, the road.


I want to cross the road!


/
/
/
For Halloween, the road is its own kind of horror. I check for cars. Nada. I check for people on bikes. Nothing. I check for people with big-ol' clumsy feet. Nope. Time to go...

I look both ways, then up and down, and finally, behind me: GO!

I ended up crossing the road backwards, but it was fun.
I'm out of breath. I want to do it again.
--Can't--
I've got to go to work in the morning!

I'ma Cross-poster

I post semi-frequently to SLprofiles's blog, so to celebrate my 100th post there, I thought I'd give you a link to it, in case you didn't know about it.
The blogs on SLprofiles are slightly more adult in nature (that's the main difference). Other than that they're about the same, so ENJOY!

Note: if the link above doesn't take you to my blog index, just type in Search: "Patric" (without the quotes) and you can visit my Profile page and you can get to them that way.

Brain-controlled Interface for Second Life?

(Some people will doubtless strap this device to their crotch and hope for the same effect.)

(Technology is getting too powerful for me to comprehend. Will lag double back and screw with our minds?)

(I believe in shortcuts. I believe my brain has too much motor control already. I say cut out the middleman.)

SL/Turkey Possession

Jen had the day off work, and so did I, so we hung out together.

There was some great erotic art on the wall. I asked if it were her. "Maybe," she said.

(It would be nice if every woman in SL owned a house, and in each house were pictures of them nude in real life. To get into this house, though, one would have to navigate a maze, a very difficult maze, representing the woman's real life [and second life] brain.)


Then, I tried to sit on a bench.
/
This is where it put me.

"Dang discrimination," I said.

I'd signed a petition to end bench discrimination a long time ago in hopes of allowing multi-prim objects like myself access to benches, and this is where it got me.

Shade.

So I sat there, and sat there, and Jen said my shape shifted somehow--like an Indian rose out of me.

"An Indian? What have you been you smoking?"

"Your shape," she said. "You have an Indian now."

I was about to argue, when I recalled this happening at Elle's club a few nights ago. Elle had said a mysterious man popped out of me as I was squatting on her tip jar.

Hmmm. Was I possessed?

/
Jen gave me this photo as proof.

Dear god! "That's me?"

"Yes!"

I couldn't believe it.
"Look," I said. "Here is a picture I took of myself earlier--I see nothing of an Indian. But in yours I can clearly see him!"

"Either that or my computer is too crappy to rez you right," she said.

"No, your computer saved me. It exposed this thing."

"Ohhhh"

"Please don't call it a crappy computer, either," I said. "I love your computer."

"What are you going to do now?"

"I am going to the bathroom right now in RL. And when I get back I'm going to think of a plan."

SL/Turkey Talk leads to Spider Talk

(There was a mechanical spider near pool)

Angie returned to SL and saw that I am now a turkey, and this led to an involuntary stoner conversation (because she isn't a stoner).

Angie: Do you get stepped on often?
Turkey: mainly shoved
Angie: will you be sold for thanksgiving?
Turkey: i prefer to say bought
Angie: ha
Angie: ok
Angie: carved and cooked?
Turkey: cooked, then carved more than likely
Turkey: although, i've heard of some sick ones carving first
Angie: you should let me buy you since you know I won't eat you
Turkey: who would you pay?
...
Turkey: you are staring at the spider again
Angie: I hate spiders
Angie: with a passion
Turkey: what if they are safe?

Turkey: what kind of spiders do you hate?
Angie: all spiders

Turkey: all?
Angie: all, 100% of spiders
Turkey: even if some are friendly?
Angie: no such thing as a friendly spider
Turkey: there are over 1000 variety of spiders, surely there is one variety you will tolerate?
Angie: no
Angie: no spiders are ok
Angie: not one
Angie: if I see one I get all sweaty and
Angie: not good
Turkey: if a spider's venom were used to treat you for a rare disease, would you like that spider?
---
Angie: Hmm, I would like its venom
Angie: however, the weird body with 8 legs not so much
Turkey: what if it were to design you a web, a specialized one?
Turkey: with your name on it?
Angie: that would be one amazing spider/pig
Turkey: lol

---
Angie: do you like spiders?
Turkey: i've always frowned upon them
Turkey: until recently
Angie: and then?
Turkey: this one caught my eye
---
Angie: that one at least does not touch you
Turkey: Can you imagine the touch of one touching you?
Angie: no way
Turkey: i enjoy touching a woman exactly as a spider would
Angie: I used to sleep with a flash light to make sure none were on me at night
Turkey: lol
Turkey: for some reason i think they don't bother me when i sleep
Angie: don't you eat like 8 spiders a year?
Turkey: i once woke up with a strand of web over my eyes

Turkey: yes, i eat spiders, but i never inquire about the source
Turkey: i barely realize i'm eating a spider unless someone points it out
Angie: ugghh yeah I would FREAK out
Angie: I can't kill them either
Turkey: i would freak out if i ate something that had bigger eyes than mine
Angie: the crunch is worse than the spider
Turkey: true
Turkey: although i would hate to hear the crunch of a rib
Turkey: that's just me

Angie: so I put a cup over it and wait for someone to kill it
Turkey: lol
---
Angie: or spray it with hairspray till it dies
Turkey: that is a confusing way to go out
---
Angie: lol
Angie: yeah but it kills them eventually
Turkey: true
---
Turkey: as it does to us all
Turkey: stand underneath the spider, please
Turkey: i dare you

Angie: do you make the spider go up and down?
Turkey: no
Turkey: it has a mind of its own
---
Angie: it won't go down when I am standing here
Angie: ok I just jumped in real life
Angie: omg it looks like it crawled up me
Turkey: is the spider still on your screen?
Angie: yeah
Turkey: are you planning on hitting your screen?
---
Angie: no, but I jumped the first time it crawled by me
Angie: that is so gross
Turkey: that is a good start
---
Turkey: halloween is not far away

Turkey: if i get the chance, remind me on halloween if we see each other, I want to lean towards you and become a spider
Angie: ohh
Turkey: for shock value
---
Angie: if you were a spider
Angie: I WOULD step on you
Turkey: stomp on me
Turkey: you better stomp on me if you're gonna step on me, or else I'm coming after you again.

SL/Pool Dance

She was Milo's friend, and she was in our pool. She was trying out a new dance! Part of this dance was holding her nose while she shimmied down until her head was below the surface. I think it will be the next dance craze!

SL/PATO MILO

There was a singer named Pato Milo. I couldn't believe it.

SL/Encounters in Welcome Area pt. 22/random sights


The wound on his back was visible from across the patio.
Upon further inspection it was just a fresh tattoo.
Here is a woman jumping onto a man's back. The man had been bragging non-stop for hours. It finally got him to stop.
This gentleman was Editing his Appearance incautiously during severe lag so this is what happened to him.
A little feller showed up.
The little feller metamorphosed into a Ron Paul supporter.

It got the ball rolling. Here is another guy with a Ron Paul shirt.

SL/Turkey meets Turkey

I got bored being an elephant, so I'm once again a turkey. The elephant encountered a lot of problems, especially when he asked to use the couch. As a turkey, I've taken a solemn oath to seek out public bathrooms whenever possible.

Someone arrived in the public sandbox where I staying, so I felt like playing Mr. Roarke.

Turkey: greetings, Aniikan
Aniikan Boyd: greetings
Turkey: behind you, you will find a helicopter

SL/Hunt

I'm on a mission to become a furry. I don't think I've had real fur yet, having been a human (skin), a turkey (feathers) and an elephant (scales?). Real fur has eluded me.

I don't want to be a dog, as I'm already one in real life.
I don't want to be a wolf, as they are better left unseen and overheard.
I don't want to be a cat, as they (sometimes) have a wagging tail that confounds me.
I don't want to be a skunk, even tho that stripe down their middle is far out.
I don't want to be a mouse, because I'm not sure what they have qualifies as "fur."
This picture that I found in Search under "fur" is not what I'm after, either:





Other choices...



I don't care to be a Care Bear.














This is more like fuzz.


Rind, ectoplasm, and some 'borrowed' skin...

/

Where is all the decent fur??

A possibility.
