Here we go again!



Annnndddd.....I'm back!  

My last blog post was in 2013.  Shortly after that in RL, I met a man on a dating site that would become my husband.  He knows all about SL and does have an avi in here....created by me of course and still in development.  He is a musician and would love to bring his music to SL.  In the period of years since, I've simply been busy living, moving, getting my kiddos grown and on their own.  
About mid 2017 I ventured back to SL and decided it was time to figure out what the heck this whole mesh and bento stuff was about.  I was looking like a very outdated Rhawnie, which didn't set well with me.  

Eventually, I splurged and got the Lara body by Maitreya.  Then.....came the head issue.  I kept my standard avi head until about October.  At that point, I just couldn't stand the little sharp edges I'd see and low and behold!  Genesis had an amazing offer for members of their group.  Of course I joined and got my Kiana head as a gift.  This was a great way to try out a bento head, though I struggled and kept attempting to put Omega appliers on it.  I finally figured out that I can't because Genesis uses a different mapping system.  So....I kind of camped out in a corner of the store (thanks for looking the other way, Scorpius).  I scoured all the boards in the store and followed all chat in the group and just last night, Scorpius opened the motherlode....check this out:  everything you could possibly want to know about Genesis Labs

That, my friends, thrilled me no end.  Warning, sneak peek into rl....I'm a librarian in real life.  Organization and detail are essential to my happiness.  I found that Scorpius is a detailed person, goddess bless her soul!!  I think I have an sl avi crush on her now after reading the site, my kinda lady, I can totally relate.

Anyhoo, back to the SL world  The above picture of me was taken by some random guy when I was out at an event.  I left my avi unattended and came back to an IM with this picture and the message "I absolutely love how you look."  Aww, sweet.  I responded back and never heard from him, lol!!  But I got a nice photo out of it.  

I've been wandering, getting a grasp on the new technology and looking at potential jobs  I've made a loose commitment to help fi*fridays find vendors.  They need help, I need something to do.  I am not a "loose agreement" type of person so I'll do my best, but I need to really feel a part of something and know I have people on my team.  We will see if this works or if it's something else I am actually pursuing that I haven't figured out.  If you see this, hit me up.  My SL is quiet.  Quite quiet.  I could use some new friends and something to do.  Rhawnie Draconia, that's me.  Chat soon?  Ciao!
