The Killer in Me is the Killer in You

I adore this round of Collab! Like.. absolutely mad about it. I love everything nautical, and the designers didn't fail to deliver in this theme. I'm feeling a little nostalgic today, so I decided to go for a darker mood picture, since.. like.. if you know anything about me, my pictures highly reflect my current mood. I guess that's why I love blogging so much, it's therapeutic to make a picture, let out your emotions, listen to some good tunes, and share your thoughts. I mainly enjoy doing pictures though, I love art, and being able to edit my art work makes me a happy person. Also, I got a new graphics card. Water looks beautiful. I didn't know it could look like that. Can you tell I'm a happy camper about that?

At any rate, I wanted to share some of the cute things available this round of collabor88, say hi, kinda forget about work for a day, and do a pretty picture. I'm gonna go to the credits before I ramble too much. You all enjoy!

Coming Home.

It's been a long time since I've been here. Sometimes I miss it. Right now I honestly do. Sometimes I get carried away, and think that I want to be with others, and then when I do, something happens, and I realize that it's better to be the hermit that I am. I've been that way for a reason. I don't know how many times I have to hit myself against the same wall before I finally learn. So I've come home. Even if it is for a short while with all the changes coming. God only knows where the wind will take me, but this is for sure, I'll be in charge of where it goes.

To those that brought the drama against me, thank you. You've waken me up. I'm going to plurge my life. Start a new. Go back to the person I am, the one that I like, the one that I'm comfortable with. And to those that try to hate on that, I don't give a crap anymore. I cared too much, I got close to too many of you, and forgot that in the internet, the soul factor is lost. It's like being back in High School, a social climb after another, step over the other to look better, and don't care about the damage. I never did well in High School, it's always taken something major for me to walk away from those that I care about. This is it. No going back. Too many attempts, and it always ends the same. I'm very sorry it has to be that way. I guess from now on I'm coming to sl to do the few things that I love. Creating, photography, and shopping. 

To put the rumors to rest. I barely get blogger packs. The people that I "blog" for, they know my situation, they know sometimes it gets tough for me to do things. I've never done blogging for the free things. I've done it because I love taking pictures. I love sharing. I love opening pieces of myself I'm not comfortable sharing in the real world. I do blogging because I love it. I miss it when I'm designing. But I guess bills have to be paid. And as a designer, I'll be fully transparent with this. Why don't we send out blogger samples to groups? For quality control, for one. There are events with more than 3 times the amount of bloggers. I share with those whose work I enjoy, and let others shop. Nothing personal, but I have to make a living myself. Secondly, because we already have a blogger group, and we need to make a living. Sure, it sounds rough, and crude, but it's the truth. I don't go around asking for free stuff, I spend way too much money in SL, and out of the very few things that I do get for free, I'm very thankful, and try to showcase them at least in a plurk to give some sort of notoriety. I feel guilty receiving free stuff, and even with friends, if I want something they've made, I buy it. The rumors of me making that stupid plurk are ridiculous. That's all I have to say about it. I've shown proof it wasn't me. Now I'm saying my peace about it. I hope the topic dies, it's been very hurtful. I have fallen jaded towards a lot of my friends. I honestly can't deal with them at the moment, the thought that they would help the rumor grow, instead of ask me about it, help me figure it out, and whisper behind my back is heart breaking. The fact that they believed it so blindly, and wrongly, just breaks me. I still cry about that, I"m not going to lie. It's been a rough couple days, I've even lost my desire to work. So I hope that's the end of this. 

In hopes of you that don't know me too well, to know me a bit better, and hopefully stop something like this to spread in the future, I've decided to do Berry's meme. So let's give it a try. And guys.. I'm not a terrible person. I have my moments, my flares of anger, my moments of annoyance. I'm human. But please, in the future, isntead of sitting there gossiping about me. Come to me. Ask me, let's save the heart ache. And if it happens to someone else, I hope this is a learning experience of how to handle it. I know for me it is. Not that I would ever accuse a friend that I know wouldn't do it, much less without asking. You defend friends, not back stab them. 

When and how did you discover Second Life? – 2006. Old boyfriend who fell for my best sl friend. GO FIGURE! 

Did you know about virtual worlds before or was this your first experience with them? – I didn't. I used to roleplay in boards, but it was fun to change over to SL where it was more interactive. 

Has Second Life met your expectations? – I didn't have any, so I suppose it has?

If you could teleport back to the first ten minutes of your avatar’s slife, what would you tell yourself? – DO NOT PUT YOUR CREDIT CARD IN, YOU CRAZY COLLEGE STUDENT YOU. 

How long did it take you to master avatar flying and driving vehicles inworld? – I got flying down fast. I used to only get around flying. Drivng.. idk.. it took a while since I didn't do it when I first got into sl, when I was given a vehicle, I already knew how to move around sl. 

Do you have a mystery alt? – I wish I did! But no. I'm too open, and the few times I've tried it, I say it's me. 

Is your SL avatar a reflection of you, or someone you wished you could be? – Fully me, the emotions are real, the behavior is me, it's all of me. I guess that's why I fall so hard with my friends, and get hurt so easily . 

Is there an individual you met in SL that inspired you in your RL? How? So many! I just can't think of any off the top of my head, but many. 

Do you feel it is easier to create stronger bonds/relationships with people you meet inworld as opposed to the real world? – It's about the same I suppose. 

Did you ever imagine or believe people could fall in love with someone they never met before Second Life? – I didn't, but I have. 

How has your perspective of dating changed (or not) since you started playing second life? –Nope. 

How has your perspective of employment changed (or not) since you started playing second life? – Yes, I never thought I'd have to work out of sl, and actually make enough to do alright in my real life and pay for my medical needs. It's awesome. 

Name three things in both your lives that overlap each other significantly. – work, feelings, growth. 

If you could live your life more immersively in a virtual world, would you? (Kind of like the Matrix) – Oh gosh no. 

How do you think behavior changes for people if they’re inworld vs in real world? Why do you think that is? – People are rude online because they don't have to deal with the consequences of their actions. Much harder to be rude when you can see the effect it has on someone. 

How has second life consumerism changed your perception of spending habits, the value of money, the need to be “bleeding edge” with fashion?– I'm a shopaholic and do terrible with money. Then, now and always. But it did give me a fashion sense. 

Do you think virtual worlds like SL drive and redefine human interaction or do they narrow and limit it? – I think they broaden it and help people with fears like me, though sometimes that's a double edged sword. 

If technology progressed tomorrow to allow you to send emotions to people the way you’d send text or voice messages, would it enrich your SL experience or infringe on it? – It would be awesome. Maybe less people would be rude, and people would start behaving like humans online. 

Name three skills you attribute to having learned or honed in second lifealone. – 3d creation, photoshop, and fashion sense. 

If your grand kids googled your Second Life Avatar’s name, would they be intrigued, disgusted, proud or something else? – I hope they would be proud of the things that I've managed to accomplish despite my handicaps. 

So that's about it, I hope you guys enjoy it, happy arcade, and, let's go to the credits:

You Might Say I'm a Dreamer...

Arcade time is once again upon us, you know, that one time a year that everyone on the grid pretty much craps their pants, and empties out their bank account because you just have to have that one rare that the machine won't give you. I mean.. this sounds pretty much about right, right? I know it's almost the case for me. I mean, my name is Sash Arabello, and I'm an arcade gatcha addict. Welp!

This round marks the one year anniversary of the Arcade, and everything is just so amazing, and awesome! I'm extremely excited to see Lark in the round up, Sienia is so talented, she truly deserves to be in there! And then you have the cuteness my MishMish, like.. I know I already blogged it, but it's so cute I don't even care. And what about that rare by Alouette? and let's not even talk about the mess that was TeeFy. I think I sold my soul to that machine. But.. over all, I couldn't be more excited for this round, so beautiful and amazing, like.. I'm speechless. So if you haven't gone.. make sure to keep trying! And maybe even try the yard sales while you wait to get in, I assure you.. with this amazing round, you won't be disappointed. THere's going to be way more to come, but this is just a sneak peek at a set that I'm currently working on. Enjoy being swept by my magical dream!

Teenage Dirtbag (More Arcade Goodies Preview!)

Oh dear.. another day and another blog post? I might just be on a role. Or maybe it's just the fact that Arcade is almost here, and I always get uber excited when Arcade is upon us! I have just a couple more to show you guys cus.. I'm lucky enough to have a couple review packs out before the actual event is out... and well.. you're just going to die. Natalee Oodles, my uber talented awesome friend made more charm bracelets, and a charm necklace. BUT! Get this.. it's actually VILLAINS related! I mean.. forget the good guys, I like the villains. And.. I honestly genuinely believe that Natalee does love me now. I mean... Maleficent... HORNS. ON A HEADBAND. This was just made for me! This one is one of the rare prices, and it might just be one of my of my favorite releases for the Arcade, just because.. in my pretty little mind, it was made just for me. Natalee, you disagree, I'll kill you :). 

Not only do we have the awsome charms and headband by Noodles, but Olive has made a nice line of briefcases, and they also have them in backpack mode. One of my favorites, other than the Hogwarts colors, ofc, it's the one with the Mickey ears and the color pattern.. and the pretty bow on top all Minnie mouse like.. Rose.. this was just freaking brilliant, I loved it. So.. today.. I wanted to put it all together to make a very awkward look, cus.. I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby <3. Now.. let's just glare at the calendar until it's the first, sounds like a plan? I THINK SO.

Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect

So.. I'll admit, I've gone way overboard with the Arcade. Really, but.. this has got to be my favorite set of Arcade things ever, so much amazing things, so much talent, so much to play with! I decided to create a full bedroom using mostly Arcacde items, and using the amazing skybox from 22769 for the Challenge, available all this month. So.. I was lucky enough to finish the Tres Blah set. Yeah, I get to brag about that, I mean.. I worked hard for it! But.. It has got to be my favorite piece of furniture in SL thusfar, honestly, and I do adore the game sets from Second Spaces, and the piggies.. I had to make my piggies play them! Look! Devil piggy is about to get arrested too while he's playing with Cupid! 

I honestly wanted to do something that reverted somewhat to childhood, because to me, that's what the Arcade this round is all about, appealing to that inner kid inside all of us. I mean.. those Zigana robots.. how they talk even? I've never been this excited about anything ever! And the dolls from The Secret Store.. I mean.. even the packaging is adorable! I'm honestly thinking about redoing my room, even with the art dummy bed that.. well, is kinda bland, for a rare. But really, amazing, all of it is so amazing, I couldn't be happier with this round. I'm clean out of linden, and not even going to complain about it! Hopefully you guys make it in, because.. really, this round is extremely worth it, a round of applause to all the designers that went above and beyond our expectations. And while we sleep, our dreams will make the things around us have a life of their own, our dream run the world wild, and that's really what this picture is all about.

It's worth the fighting to get in.

So.. normally, I would do a big picture, and talk.. but this one is tricky, hang in there! So.. first of all, Arcade today! Yay! So, I have sneaked in a couple more hidden gems you can find in there.. just remember.. Fezzes are cool. Basically I couldn't get to the picture I wanted to do, so I made it for today! Yay! Then.. we have a The Challenge starting today. So.. what is the Challenge? Basically, each month, there's a new theme announced, and designers have one month to come up with an item that fits it, keep in mind, it is only furniture/home/garden stuff. Pretty neat huh? So..

Youth Without Youth

Sooooo... I have a giant pencil, whatever argument you might have is invalid. Yup. So.. Arcade is almost upon us.. and I wanted to do a huge post, but.. for the last two days I've been working hard on the way the blog looks.. and I finally got done today. But.. it meant this post had to suffer a little. I have another picture that I will edit later when I wake up, and I have another shot with some awesome goodies to do pretty soon. Olive has some AMAZING stuff. It's pretty random, but for us that are odd, and ecclectic.. I mean.. giant pencil, poop mobile? Need I say more? Further more.. it's all just so cute, and they have fez lamps. Fezzes are cool. So, I wanted to do something cute for today, and this is just an adorable little look I compose together.. ChiMia is a new store on the blog, and they're textures are pretty cool! I do love the HUD method for the fat packs, lets you change colors of your outfit.. without cluttering your inventory with a fat pack. Love. I guess that's about it.. I'll update this a little later! Or add.. I'm not sure. But.. yeah! Here go the credits, because I'm tired as heck!

Souls on Ten

Sometimes all we want to do is have fun, and it reflects in SL. Like.. I have a huge thing for cute things that are just.. random and whimsical, and cute, and maybe a bit on the childish side. Sometimes even extremely eclectic. I don't know why, but things like that always draw me in. That's why when I got the sneak peek at MishMish's items for the Arcade, I squealed like a little girl.. water fights? Cute fishy water guns? Ums.... YES PLEASE! If I didn't get them.. I would have gone broke trying to get them all. I mean.. MishMish is known by now for their adorable and cute designs, and whimsical toys, The monkeys.. the shrubbie.. how freaking adorable! And now this collection is going to be a must for all of us that are still a huge kid at heart.

Oh, yeah.. and it's about to become very serious when you start shooting the water! It comes with a pose included in it, and it's very serious! Now.. I had to keep the carefree with this cute little hoodie by R3volt. Nyan Cat? Um... again.. YES PLEASE! This is a new release, and their attention to detail is what really got me on this guys.. it's got detail even on the inside of the hoodie, instead of just leaving it blank like many others do, so bravo for this guys! Blueberry also has a new release, and I'm huge picky about mesh jeans, and these.. absolutely amazing, i don't look like I have bow leggedness. I love them, and they come in leather front version, and bleached like the ones I have now.. sometimes the texture, in some colors, can look a bit on the odd side, but I really liked this color, I also think that they might look a lot better with some boots on! But.. I needled flip flops for this water fight at the beach! THISWASSRSBIZNISS.
