I am in one or two of these groups. I stay in them because I like to research human behaviour.(Well I am lying a bit, I guess I am just really nosey). I think serious business people, would be better off doing their thing on their own and quit listening to mental people play 'pretend' being SL’s answer to JR Ewing. For example, earlier I saw a person who claims to be a brilliant sl business person, ask in group chat how to give someone a SLurl. I rest my case.
Designing-Saying something enough times doesn’t make it so. I love that phrase and it seems to be something I have lived my sl by. Another favourite is, just because you see it and it looks real, doesn’t make it real. I took a stroll around the quiet, begger-free, shopping Mecca that is SL Xstreet.(for all us old timers, SLexchange) It’s a fascinating place and I now see how a few very uncreative people that I knew in the past suddenly got so creative. I even got a couple of template packs myself and I see how easy it is to colour things in, upload and sell. This means the clothing is mine, I made it but it doesn’t and will never make me a SL fashion designer. I didn’t design anything. It’s kind of like painting by numbers. So anyone who has done this, don’t run about saying you designed anything or someone may end up buying all those templates you bought and making an identical shop.
Profiles-MY IM GETS CAPPED, PLEASE SEND A NC. How many times have you saw this on a sl profile and completely ignored it? If you haven’t, you should because everyone else is sending Notecards so your IM is bound to be seen. (See, people say I am a dumb blonde but I aint ) Well, its seems it is all the rage to put this on your sl profile and most do it because it makes people think they are cool as f*** and popular. I have noticed that at least 90% of the people who have this statement on their sl profile don’t do much in sl and they never seem to log out, so I have no idea how their IM gets capped in the first place. Anyway tip for anyone who has this problem- redirect IM to your email and read it on the wonder of modern technology, the phone.
I got to go log on and check my visitor counter and see who’s been visiting, see you all in world.
Lots of Love
