Getting My Feet Wet

Published July 3, 2011

Waking up early today once again greeted me with another wonderful surprise.
After my nice meeting with Ryne just a few minutes before,
I continued my walk in search of good locations for photos and I came upon a fountain.
I had been walking all morning barefoot and I could not contain the temptation in getting my feet wet.
I walked in and danced in the water for a while.
Soon I decided to continue writing my article for the blog and as I became fully concentrated on my work,
I completely forgot that I was still dancing in the water.

Suddenly I hear the sound of an IM just received, thinking it could be from Grubby.
I checked my SL screen and noticed that it was from a stranger.
I also noticed right away that his SL name was Beetles and that was the reason I decided to answer

this random IM. I am a big fan of The Beatles and was curious to know if he was too.

"Hi :)!"
I replied and he continued to tell me that it was not common to see a girl dancing in the water like

I was. We continued to chat about music and movies for a good while.
 It turns out that Beetles is in a band (RL- lead singer) and music is his life.
After a while of chatting with him, I proceeded to get out of the water to continue our conversation.

Beetles turned out to be a little of a flirt but harmless.
 After we had chatted and joked around about almost every topic we touched,
he asked me what would be the thing that would make me smile at that moment.
I responded jokingly, getting my feet wet again, and proceeded to walk back into the water.
I was surprised to see that he had joined me and our fun chat continued.
Soon he felt brave enough to ask me for a kiss in the most creative way.
 He said, "If you kiss me I might turn into a prince",
to which I replied, "What if you don't, and instead I turn into a frog?" He laughed.

And once it was time to excuse myself and continue with my search for perfect photo locations,
he sends me a friend request. I accepted not before making it clear that he was still not getting
that kiss he wanted. He laughed and said, in that case, he would be imagining it

and that every time I would see a frog I would remember him.
I replied back to him that I knew that every time he would see water from now on, he was going 

to be jumping in to get his feet wet, to which he replied, "always do.....I haven't grown up yet".

BTW: My kisses are only for the man I love.

SLoopsies: The Itch

SLoopsies

Don't tell me you have NEVER had an embarrassing moment happen to you in Second Life?

Come on, you can tell me, trust me, I won't tell anyone :p

I myself had so many that I already lost count. I don't mind sharing them with you, 

though. You all already know what a goofball I am. You can laugh if you want, I don't 

mind. I laugh at myself all the time. Of course, I have to admit it, though, 

at the moment they happen, I just want to die. Sometimes I'll just lose it during 

the moment and I will get a laugh attack. What else can I do, I am so clueless that 

I never finish amusing myself.

This will be the first SLoopsie from my long list of embarrassing moments 

that I will be sharing with you.

😈

At the beginning of my friendship with Grubby, he was the only person 

I would run to every time I had a problem. One day I decided to visit a store where 

all the items were either free or L$1. After I had obtained a few items, I was eager to

 try them on. I went down the list one by one trying each thing and wearing 

every single item included in each folder.

Suddenly I had to step away from my computer for a few minutes and on my return, 

I noticed my Avi was scratching herself... "down there". 

I know I know, so un-ladylike. Terrified I tried everything to make her stop doing 

that. However, I couldn't figure out what was causing it.

Suddenly I noticed Grubby logging in and immediately I IMed him. 

I told him my Avi kept "like" scratching and I couldn't make it stop. 

He asked me where was I scratching, and I told him I was too embarrassed to say. 

Suddenly he sent me a teleport to his location. I kept telling him that I didn't want him to

see me like that but he insisted. He said he had to see what I was doing in order to 

be able to help me.

So after a while, I got the courage to show him and I went to him. 

There I am standing in front of  Grubby and scratching constantly. 

He stood there looking at me without saying a word. I felt like I wanted to crawl 

under a rock and die. I could just imagine him laughing at me on the other side of his screen. :(  

After a long silence, he finally said we would figure out what was causing my problem.

He guided me through several steps trying to figure out the problem but nothing 

seemed to work. He then told me to remove my AO to see if that was what caused 

me to keep scratching and gave me a new one, but still, the scratching continued.

After trying over and over again everything he can possibly think of, 

he asked me to check under "My Appearance" to see what I was wearing. 

I carefully went down the list and suddenly there it was, like a slap to the face 

looking back at me and sticking its tongue out... Itching Crotch!!!

Grubby was waiting for me to say what I had found in my "Wearing" list. 

Feeling extremely embarrassed, I kept trying to figure out how to tell him what I had

discovered without seeming so dumb. Finally, after trying unsuccessfully to avoid 

having to say it, I finally came out and just said... " I don't know how but I am wearing 

an animation called "Itching Crotch :( ".

 He laughed, but just a little, and then proceeded to assure me that the embarrassing

situation hadn't been THAT bad..... yeah right :P

As you can imagine, now I double and even triple-check every single item that I am gonna wear.

Since that day I haven't been able to look grubby in the eyes. :(
