Berry's Meme - Meet My Friend!

When Berry made her Meet My Friend meme, my first thought was to do it with my best friend. But then I thought, well that's highly expected, now isn't it? Over the past 3 years, I've shied away from making too many new friends and have stuck with the same few people. Back in January, a blogger named Kirsten Corleone added me to Plurk, but either she wasn't using it much, or I wasn't paying attention, because I didn't really notice her until last month. But let me tell you something - I'm glad I did because she has become one of my favorite people in SL, and I knew she was the one that I should do the meme with.




I'm deviating away from the meme slightly because while I did ask her questions, I've always found that you get to know a person better when you're just talking. And oh, did we talk last night! But most of what we talked about needs to stay off the record because it was just us getting to know each other more. I'm sure you all understand. ;)

What I discovered about Kirsten is that she's awesomely sweet. She's a lover of pink. She has more jewelry than you can shake a stick at and is now my new go-to person for when I need to find just the right accessory for an outfit. Although she's been in Second Life for many years, she still loves it and we both still make noob mistakes all of the time. She's deeply dedicated to her partner in a way that makes you think, "Awww!" and not "Ughhh."

The best thing that I discovered about Kirsten is that she's someone I feel really comfortable around, and as most people know, that's not something that happens a lot for me. I'm very glad Plurk allowed me to meet her, and I'm very happy that this meme allowed me to know her better.





Thanks for doing this with me, Kirsten!

Chillin' With Books

I don't always wear mesh clothing. I do probably 95% of the time these days, but sometimes, you just can't beat some nice texture layer clothing, like the cute Denim Vests from BOOM for Stumblebum, and these lovely LaceBack tank tops from The Sea Hole.




Barnesworth Anubis came out with a really gorgeous skybox for this month's Collabor88. The Stockholm skybox comes in both a furnished and unfurnished version. I just adore the bookshelves!!

If you use the unfurnished version, the new Laura living room mesh set from MudHoney is just the perfect set for the skybox!




There are many cute pieces in the set, so you're sure to love putting pieces of it in your own home.
