Slacker …

I’m such a slacker, I knew I’d stuggle to keep this blog up to date.  As it is i’m updating from work where I have no access to anything Second Life related, even my access to SL Exchange has been blocked so I have no way to supply SLURLs, I’ll have to remind myself to update those when I get back home.

 Soo .. aside from a Spiritual awakening as descibed in my last post,what’s been going on in the world of Angel Slocombe?

Well…

The Plaza closed and the land sold nice and quickly leaving me with enough to keep me going without having to “buy” lindens for a little while.

I rented 2 commercial plots on the Isle of DisQ sim, owned by super scripter DisQ Hern who has been very supportive.

I built a purpose built Miz Slocombe Prefabs Store on one plot, and landscaped behind and am now offering landscaping services as well as Prefabs.

I created 5 new prefabs, ranging from a 512 starter home to a replica of Southfork Ranch (from the TV show Dallas).

What about the other plot you rented Angel? What have you done with that?

Well, that’s a secret for now, but a big clue can be found by visiting the area, the building rather stands out.  Let’s just say I’m expanding my range, and also, perhaps a little later will be offering something quite unique.

So business wise that’s pretty much it at the moment. I’m down to just ONE other “mall” store on Imagination Isle which I will probably give up when the lease runs out, focusing on my main store/s for now and of course SL Exchange (damn the IT guys for blocking it … ok I WAS on there too much but not the point! *sulks*)

Non-business stuff, I gave up half of my beloved island on Nanea, I kept the corner though, reducing costs and making much more sense as I was rarely there, I’ve placed one of my new prefabs on the land and turned what was designed as a dungeon into  a Basement Workshop / office (ironically meaning I’m now there MUCH more lol) .

Monty & I had a little party on the beach the day before I gave up half the land to celebrate our “partnership”. Was nice to have friends round.

I’ve also had some very happy things happen and some not so happy…

Last week, Cullen, the Plaza camper who became one of my closest friends in SL decided that due to Real Life issues he had to quit SL. I miss him a lot, he had been a rock for me during some very turbulent times in SL, a total sweetie, silly man who no matter how many times I turned down his “advances” would continue to shower me with compliments and affection and would tell me even if I couldn’t give him what he wanted he would still prefer to be near me and be my friend (and what an amazing friend) than not.  But he’s left and I miss him more than I ever thought I could.  I pray for him and his happiness always.

On a flip side to that, I’m very very happy to say that a situation that had been making me rather unhappy in SL and that was affecting my relationship with more than just the core people involved is now pretty much “healed” and I have back a true friend who I had become dangerously close to losing, partly through my own stupidity, partly due to both our egos getting in the way and partly due to outside influences sticking their oar in something that is none of their business.  However, time, patience, forgiveness and the fact that like it or not, no matter how much we bug eachother sometimes, we’re destined to be in each other’s lives has led us to a MUCH happier place.

Club Elysium has become Club Risque, a ladies only club with male dancers with a brand new very cool building. I try to pop along to visit with old friends a few days a week but my new enterprise has kept me very busy. I must not neglect my friends though, I hope they know that I’m always just a TP or an IM away.

 OK back to work .. I guess now I have no choice *sigh*… roll on hometime.
