EDIT: Wow! I should really learn to proofread before posting and try not to switch topics so many times LOL. I should also not blog at nearly 1am because I tend to get a little loopy and wordy. This is just a friendly warning to beware of the post you are about to read (if you...someone....anyone..reads this).


Weeellll, it looks like I didn't do a post yesterday or the day before. I kind of knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with blogging - my SLife just isn't that exciting. So tonight, since all I'm doing is mindlessly browsing YouTube songs, it's time for a blog post. Today's topic? Well, I haven't planned out that far yet. I guess I'll just roll with whatever comes to my brain.

*insert break so this doesn't become a massive wall o' text*

...My Goodness! I just TP'd in to Veschi, a cool store with more colors than your mind can even comprehend, and there's like a gabillion people there! That's right, a gabillion. There's a sale going on and we all know how the residents love to flock to those.
Have you ever wondered what actually drives us to spend real money on virtual "stuff"? (Not even really "stuff", just pixels).
I dunno, I just think about all the time and money - I won't say wasted - spent on SecondLife. And for what? I don't really do much of anything important in-world.

Anyway...what was I talking about? Oh, right - Veschi! I had to TP out 'cause I couldn't move or rez a thing. Go go crappy PC!

Picture break time!

(oops, I cut off some of the building and the quality sucks...not unusual for me though xP - click it for larger version that doesn't look quite as terrible)

This is one of my favorite sims to visit. It's such a nice build, yet I hardly see a soul there. I'm sure a lot of you (ha! I say "you" as if I'm talking to actual readers, pft!) have heard of Mill Pond, yes? This sim, Gesso, is the updated Mill Pond. There's still the same Bean There Done That cafe and the Shakespeare and Company bookstore builds, but this time, they've added The Winery at Gesso. Vineyards in the front, a lovely open lounging area to hang out with friends and tables and chairs scattered all over. There's even what appears to be a stage off to the side - I wonder if they do live music or poetry/open mic nights?
That's what SL needs more of: live talent. Sure, DJs are great, but I like mixing it up a little bit and blending SL with RL is great.


And now for another random topic-change!
I've always admired the fashion blogs - especially ones with something different to share and those that are skilled photo arteests :>
Oh wait, but don't get ahead of me - I'm not at all leading into the fact that I am (or ever will be) one of those people. 'Cause uh...well, just let the photos do the talking. I can't rez anything quick enough to even try my hand at SL photography.
So here's a crappy quality, non-photoshopped, non-prettified picture of me attempting to uh..blog fashion? Idunno. (BTW, my spell checker did not catch that word, prettified - is that real?!)

(click for larger...and just pretend my boots rezzed all the way)

*wipes the sweat from her brow* Just typing out the credits for this and getting SLURLS took nearly 25 minutes! I gotta hand it to the regular bloggers - you da man!
Ah well, at least that killed a little bit of time for me and I wasn't bored! Enjoy this crazy random and jumbled post!

I give in.

Alright, Alright. I've been itchin' to blog lately - not that I ever have anything particularly note-worthy of blogging, but hey, everyone else is doing it.

So to kick things off, I'd like to share a simple picture with anyone who happens to wander over here (though I'm pretty sure no one will XD).

Uhh..so I'm not sure how big this will actually turn out so I'm not gonna stretch it yet. >_>

Ah, lovely texture glitches! Don't mind the unrezzed greyness and bald headedness...

.....

So what does one write about on here? I read so many great SL blogs and I always wonder how people do it.
Maybe I should start out by telling you who the heck I am since I'm not one of those Slebritys, yknow?
So the name's Verona. Verona Valentin to be exact. No, I'm not a clothing designer, nor am I a fashion blogger, dancer, DJ, fashionista, scripter, or any of that fancy stuff. I just tinker around with different things and if I had to give myself a title, I'd consider myself a Second Life Explorer.
I rezzed a wee bit over two years ago.

...Wow, this is really boring!

But hey, I guess it doesn't really matter what I say here 'cause no one is reading! Hoorah!


Oh, and if you're wondering how your blog ended up in my "Blogs I Follow" list (which, by the time I post this, will hopefully be updated to actually show some blogs XD) or my GoogleReader, I honestly can't tell you the reasoning behind each one. I look at FashionFeedofSl.com and Iheartsl.com quite often and sometimes stumble upon hilarious or just neat blogs and get sucked in.

So uh... bai!
