Surround Me With Music

Sometimes I go on music posting binges on my social media.  I’ll sweep in with a string of YouTube videos and post songs I love, or things that I like and just hadn’t heard in a while, or things I think people should hear. Sometimes people interact, usually I suspect they scroll past and go about their day. For the most part no one seems to notice, a few might like a post, but in general I feel like the meme with the little otter holding his tiny guitar: when you show your friends something you love and they just say ‘cool’ and change the subject.

Usually it’s when I am feeling depressed or lonely, and I’m attempting to reach out to others and find some common bond that I start spamming my socials with songs. November, December, and January have been rough months for me personally for the past few years since I lost my husband, and 2020 did nothing to help the feeling of isolation and loneliness that hits this time of year, so I suspect my music binge was right on schedule. 

It’s not quite as easy to do this in Second Life, so instead of shouting my music suggestions to the world I just quietly fill my profile with lyrics and references, and take pics of musical things. Or, as I did back in 2008, build a model of the college radio station studio where I worked and made some of my best friends. Then, as now, music was one of the primary ways I found to bond with others.

Even though my little studio is very dated and incredibly primmy, I still like to rez it when I have the land available, sit my avatars in the studio, and surround myself with music.

And then, of course, I have to share it. 

At the Stroke of Midnight

What can I say about 2020?  It started me off with with some costly home maintenance issues, added in car repairs, and just as that was getting itself resolved, tossed in a virus and closed the world down. I learned things about other people and their viewpoints that...

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas…

And all through the blog, not a creature was stirring. Not even the dog... (Possibly because he's static mesh, but you know, details...) As part of my easing back into this bloggy thing, I thought I'd leave a little Christmas greeting.  This year Christmas in RL is as...

Hooray for mesh!

Recently one of my friends has been amused because I have a huge crush on my guy alt. She can't giggle too much though, she fell for him too. I can't help it. I made him way too cute, I have to log him in and admire him on a regular basis. Now, I think I've made it...
