There are times… when.. blogging is… so hard to do..
I sometimes have real life issues that pull me away from, Second Life… and honestly.. when it is REAL LIFE… it will always come before anything in Second Life.. blogging.. friends.. family.. everything.. because, here is the thing.. if were to DIE because of an illness in RL that I did not take care of because someone in, Second Life pressured me to follow through with my obligations in world… then the blogs would not ever get posted..
I know that is dramatic… but, you would be surprised at some of the things people have said to me.. actually.. if your a blogger.. I am 1000% sure that you know exactly what I am talking about….
Sometimes.. I just have alot going on … personal stuff in Second Life.. and things have to come together slowly.. but, they always do..
And sometimes.. just like anyone else.. I have writers block.. or, photographers block..
And, as above.. everything always works out in the end…
Instead of, flipping out on me (yes, ppl HAVE done it.. badly), and sending me hate mail (or ims if the case be).. talk too me… not at me..
I have always tried my hardest to make everyone happy..
This blog is suppose to make ME happy as well.. and sometimes… I don’t know what is wrong with alot of people.
It is like they think they are the only ones in SL.. and that their bidding must be done, ASAP.. or else.. and I know, with the groups I signed up with, that I have obligations…
Problem is.. sometimes, I am accused of not blogging.. when I clearly have.. and the only reason that the people accuse me of this is because, THEY did not check my blog before contacting me..
I try to remember to always send the designers a link to the post.. but, sometimes, it is a bit hard to remember with everything else going on.
I always describe what I am wearing. Put all the info below with URL’s to each place.
I do alot more then I have seen other bloggers do.. not saying their blogs are not great because they are… personally, I just like to have the URL so I know where to go.
Also… telling that you love my photos is great… but, then in the same paragraph cut up my recent photos.. is not really the most polite thing to do when I am finished writing my whole post, and there is no time for me to go back and redo the photos…. I mean, if the person were the designer then, OK.. but the person that did this.. had nothing to do with any of that post.. like, at all..
It just really hurt.. and I wish that people would think, before they speak..
Like.. “gee.. I wonder is I royally rip into this person about her ugly photos, if she would care…”
I am sure that is not what they meant… but that is how it came across..
I do my best.
If my best is not good enough… well… I am not going to say sorry.. it is not fair, for me to have to apologize for trying my best.
And I am SURE, once they see that I did indeed write about this incident, I will likely be removed from their group.. which would be a sad thing too do because, honestly.. it is not like I said their name… and no, I will not tell anyone, so Please so not ask me.
I am truly thankful for the groups, and designers that send me items to blog.
And I THINK I have done a good job at blogging those items.
If my photos were THAT bad.. I am sure a designer would let me know.
I know this post.. is not like my normal ones.. it is just.. alot has been going on in my RL.. AND my SL… and it has been hard.. this blog is the only tranquility I find lately… and I would be heart broken if people started to punish me, (like they have been), because my RL has been too hard for me to be around much..
Or, that once in a while.. I speak my mind about how people treat me… or others for that matter..
I love blogging.. I love taking photos.. and I LOVE TO SHOP!
I really hope that I did not offend anyone as, this was meant as a post for ME to explain a few things, and express MY feelings…
I am not a bad person.. please, just give me a chance.
I wanted to share a “LOOK OF THE NIGHT/DAY” with you, that I think you would enjoy…
So, here it is.. and all the outfit info will be posted below.
Thank you again for reading.. and also thank you to all the designers that understand, RL comes before SL.. and the ones that do not punish me for it.

Blogging is suppose to be an escape. It is for me too and yeah the holidays hit me and I got lost in the whirl wind and it would totally not be fair if people got mad at me because I haven’t been blogging their stuff. Hell I looked back today and realized it was week 3 between blogging one of my favorite designers stuff. As long as you try to make the effort most designers are willing to work with you. Any designer that doesn’t understand RL must not HAVE a RL. Heck it goes beyond designers even to anyone on SL. Your blog is great don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You really do an awesome job with it. And RL FIRST, ALWAYS. Because if you don’t take care of RL like you said, there may not be a way to be on SL next time someone wants you to come hang with them,do something with/for them, etc.
Thank you.. I know the post is dramatic.. I held in alot of it for weeks.. but, tonight’s incident just.. pushed me way over the edge without a life raft sorta thing.
And, I DO try my best… and most designers are understanding about real life, and the holidays.. but you would be surprised.. no matter how hard I try to keep up there is still always someone (or persons) that are upset that I do not “try hard enough”…
Thank you for your comment tho.. I am glad some people to understand.. and didn’t take my post as an insult.

Morgana, so sorry to hear this. You do NOT have to apologize. This is YOUR blog. People can be aholes sometimes. People do not know how much time it takes to pose, take pictures and NOT have crashing issues. I have lost so much desire to stay in SL cause I cant do the things I love to do because of SL crashing issues. Also the time it takes to edit your photos. It takes a LONG time unless you are a professional in Photo Shop.
We take time out of our lives to do this. Its fun. But geez, get a grip people. Big hugs to you and do what makes you happy!
Also most time I don’t give out the lms to the items. I mean common. Remember when we first came to SL? We had to SEARCH for things. Now most (not nice) people are so demanding and don’t want to do any real work at finding things and are spoiled by the links. Do the work people, we are providing you with and where!
LOL, thank you for the comment and compliments hun.
Yeah, I do it out of habit now… you should see me when I realize I haven’t posted the url lol.
I do have an issue with tagging but, I have a search menu so, all ppl have to do is search the names and such.
I think I have finalllllly calmed down enough to sleep..
Thank you again hun!
completely know where you are coming from unfortunately. the most important part is that you continue having fun blogging. i enjoy your blog and pics and I know the work that goes into them
thank you, Sydd… I have always enjoyed your photos, and what not.. your awesome.
And, I do try to have fun while blogging lol.. you as a blogger can see every point of this, and I appreciate that.
