So i sort of put myself in lock down by slapping the time lock on my gag/blindfold.  i had planned on leaving my av logged in and when i came back to the computer in 4 hours the blindfold  would be off.  No such luck.  my computer updated and restarted so now i am sitting, blindfolded in a cage in Her garage.  Ha! Sweet sweet irony.  She will laugh.

Yeah.  i keep saying that mental aspect of D/s in SL is like 90% the same as in RL so when my brain puts that “Mistress” tag on someone i can become pretty deferential.  i am really enjoying this and hoping that i don’t come off as too clingy or needy.  Only known Her a week seems like months.

slightly smitten yes.

When i peruse the SLX for textures i  worry about my pricing.  I see these huge texture sets for sale for 1000 L4 and my sets which tend to average 8 to 14 textures with full perms for the 300 to 400 L$ range.  I think am i charging too much?  Then i look at what they are selling.  Like all things, we really do get what we pay for.

 i have 5 sets up for sale in the shop and should have 3 more by the end of the weekend.  i am considering getting a texture vendor that Attim showed me.  Low prim low lag and sells singles or sets.  It would really free up some wall space and i think it is copiable so i can put a couple of them up then use the space for showcasing new stuff.  i may physically outgrow my shop in a very short time.  i need to remember to ask Attim if i can extend my plot in the water.  A horror show room under water in the gloom might be awesome.

I have said it before and I maintain it still that SL is full one of the more engaging creative platforms a person can participate in.  That aside, there are some astounding D/s opportunities in SL.  Control and behavior modification on a fantastic participatory level.  Submitting to someone in SL has nearly the same mental and emotional impact of doing so in RL.  I find myself under consideration by Mistress Emmalyn Wei and the funny thing is that I wasn’t looking for anything but a chance to provide custom texture work to a femdom oriented SL community.  Her personal strength of character is such that I never questioned the situation and went along.  Now I find myself addicted within the addiction >=)

I have always kept a journal.  Normally it is a private little cloth bound book with blank lined pages and thick paper to take ink well without smudging.  I still keep a paper journal although I admit that I tend to only write in it when I am feeling particularly angsty.  Think of it as my way of not birthing yet another emo rant journal on the internet.

However, a few years ago it seemed as if my entire circle of friends could be found in a couple of key internet locations, one of those was the grievously popular Live Journal.  I started to journal there, loving the filter options and realized through the efforts of my significant other that this could be a decent way of disseminating information to my cohorts.  None of us are very good about actually calling and conversing and the usual first few words upon being reunited are, “So did you read my lj?”

I know a few other people who use this service instead and a recent acquaintance caused me to explore the features here at word press more fully.  While there may occasionally be bleeding off from my LJ I think I would like to maintain this space for my Second Life related posting.  Maybe my loyalties will shift totally to word press.  So far, going from Live Journal to here is like walking from a noisy crowded room into a library.
