Inter-species Mating

Nekos, Elves, Fae, Men, and Demi-gods. What happens when you throw a box of crayons in a heated pot, stirring as you go? The color which emerges is not seen by many as beautiful. Perhaps this, too, may happen when one person mates himself to multiple species. Unable to find a foundation in one, he seeks the perfect mating of soul to body in another and another. Characteristics, emotions, and mind stir into a bubbling ghastly brown ocre. And maybe his beauty is lost in this indigestible conglomerate.

I live in Neko, elf, man, and demi-god. I shift like a shadow too long under the Sun's unforgiving glare. But, in the soul, my species is clear.

I am the dark angel. I beheld truth, unutterable, undeniable. Knowingly, questioning the fabric of my being, I turn from a destiny etched in my soul millenia before I became...real. It is the fallen angel for whom the word melancholy was crafted on the tongues of men. For what other wretched race of beings would willingly turn from Destiny, Truth, and Light, for no one but themselves. I see the faces, in Life and in Death, and long for the gentle ignorance shrouding their existence while burning with the knowledge forbidden to all others. How can they understand me...how dare they judge! I am the dark angel, standing on the wrong side of the looking glass.

Mmmm...creative juices

The pleasure of my Second Life waxes and wanes with the cycles of the moon (does that make me a lunatic??). Lately SL has been shining brightly in the night sky of my existence (which is good because there aren't a whole lot of stars around me lately). My most recent project is a building a new AV. Now, those of you with ingenuity, skill, and perserverance will say "wow, that's a lot of work"...but, hang on. Building a new AV, for me, is more about finding lots of really cool stores full of things I want to pick up, run my fingers over, squeeze, and slip in to (and the merchandise is really neat too!) That doesn't mean I miss out on the creativity and power of designing and building a new me, or, in this case, another me. But when it comes to ideas in reality, SL is full of amazing fantastic people whom I will always admire and will never be able to emulate.

Filling my head with ideas and imagery, I will seek out what pleases me and try to stay on budget. This is pretty easy since I don't actually put together numbers and limit my linden spending. Instead I base it on how guilty I feel about my latest purchase ^_^ And with a project like this...well, ok, any project...I just can't take it slow so I'm sure I'll be wearing a new skin and learning another personality soon! Tschuss! ~ Wil

What's an Avatar to Do?

So, the Toxian City idea didn't work as well as I would like. I made a couple very interesting contacts...Cer, your photography continues to make me drool...and lust for blood ^_^ Unfortunately, I didn't find any really good RP openings and RL stepped in with it's own demands (or is that demons).

I think a lot of AVies find themselves at some time or another, at a loss for new activities. Exploration becomes a little dry and can be lonely when friends are in rare supply. Clothing shopping loses its luster, dancing at a club is redundant, finding people to shoot at seems overcomplicated, and decorating or building feels monumental. Many days you just don't even want to climb out of that massive, wonderfully scripted bed to face another day in SL.

It's been like that for me a lot lately. But the good news is I still have friends out there happy to see me, say hi, give me a wink or a spank. One sweet little elf offered to cheer me up with a little burlesque demonstration (I'm going to have to buy that chair for a souvenir). Another of my friends has opened a new club and I spent an enjoyable evening chatting with her and making new friends, dancing with a yummy kitty, and feeling generally content. So, I guess if you don't give up, put a little thought into things (try letting the blood reach all the way up North of your neck), and stay open to new possibilities, you'll manage.

Stick in there and if you need a new friend - give me a shout! - Wil

parlez espanol?

I am trying to get back in to some of the other things I enjoy doing there besides spending Lindens and making house calls ^_~ I originally bought a big python to strap to my thigh and terrorize the neighborhoods of City of Lost Angels (CoLA)...python...as in large Colt revolver...you dirty minded people! heehee. But, CoLA lost my interest when I was guaranteed to crash a minimum of three times every time I was in the SIM, couldn't find people who didn't already have long RP story lines, or the few I ran in to were never there.

Oh, back up, these are SIMS where people role play a character in a dark world - Vampire, Lycan (or werewolf for those of us who prefer the Americanized version), Neko, Angel, Demon, etc. Combat is a large part of the world, but they have some pretty amazing scripted systems for tracking health, abilities, and experience, just like a more traditional MMO.

Returning to present...so, CoLA wasn't going well for me. I grabbed my...big gun and went in search of adventure in Toxian City. The people there are similar, but different from CoLA, and I found it a little easier to wander about and enjoy myself. I did not crash at all, though there were instances of lag (I believe this is a SL thing, not a SIM thing because my cache file gets freaking enormous and I have to delete it on occasion or I can spend several minutes just letting my computer load the zone). I made two acquaintances relatively quickly. The first was a very cute neko carrying a SWAT style M16 on her back. She grinned from the middle of the street and I smiled back. Little did I know we were about to climb up and sit amiably on the wall of language comprehension ^_^ She speaks spanish and me...not so much. Still, between Google-ing some of her words and her ability to understand a little of what I was saying, we enjoyed a chat followed by a friendly melee. Apparently cat-fighting is a natural gift of mine...eep! I sent her on her way to acquire a set of the long black razor sharp nails I had used moments before to tear new holes in her clothing and few in her too. On my way back home I was sauntering along the street, watching the colorful residents and was beeped by a girl sporting a most impressive mohawk. We discussed the merits of frequent hair color experimentation. She promised to give me a good ear scratching next time our paths crossed and I went home to my tousled sheets for some much needed rest.

I dropped some links at the bottom of the page for CoLA and Toxian. I'll do a fashion blog soon on my COLT Python (the other one comes from Midnight Lotus ^_~) and my wicked sharp, nicely manicured nails. - Wil

Wilderness and City Chic Meet!

Inspired by this awesome gift hair from Bewitched this outfit is good for everything from Coney Island to Dublin, Italy to Hawaii!

I love butterflies. The tattoo was a gift from C.I. Umm...I don't remember more than that. This butterfly is full of sass and, like the beautiful insect, lives like there's no tomorrow!

The top consists of two items. The shirt layer is from Dutch Touch, Toppies (yeah, I can't get enough of them) and the jacket layer is by Bare Rose and is part of the Damaged Low Rise outfit which also comes with the jacket in white, black and white tube tops, and several styles of very delightfully ripped denim jeans.


The pants which I swear I didn't paint on (but they may be a little damp) are X2 Flower Power and came in two colors. I'm wearing the blue-black.

The rose and thorn jewelry I covetously purchased from Shiny Things along with several other of that design, needing practically no size adjustment and it looks beautiful! The sunglasses are J* Design Titan, color and opacity changing with optional bling. Skin is my favorite Another Skin (Le). Any other details you wish to know about just ask ^_^ Links to these stores coming soon!

How's it blogging?

It's been almost a week since I blogged last! Well, my dad always said it was better to hold your tongue and let everyone think you're an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt ^_^

I haven't really done much in the last week. A bit of shopping - I would like to blog on that, but haven't felt in the mood for it yet, a bit of building, reading blogs, and watching my neighbors erect houses or, in the case of one fun personality, a giant flying cargo ship. I did install a kitchen which seems to be more about doing chores than creating fun things to eat. On the other hand, I added a script for those occasions when laying on a marble counter top or leaning against the fridge strikes my fancy. Participation of two is recommended for those times. *wink*

I hope everyone kicked off 2008 in a good way! - Wil

Fashion Review Numero Uno

So, this is my first fashion review blog for Second Life. I only know how this stuff is supposed to work based on what I have read on other blogs. I don't know how new any of these items are or anything about the creator except that I loved the look and wanted to show it off! So here goes!!

The main part of the outfit shown here is the Corduroy One Piece in the Bordeaux color ($390L). The outfit consists of a jacket and underwear layer, and then prims for left and right upper arms, chest (corduroy collar not shown), pelvis (waist tie), spine (skirt), and stomach (strapless top). When it comes to bulky sweaters or an outfit like this I think the prims really fill out the outfit well. It's an absolute necessity with this outfit, though you can do without the waist ties if you want to save on prims you are wearing. I love the way the neck is loose and baggy and the sleeves cover the arms in a nice loose fit, looking very natural. I am very impressed with the quality and will be going back to try out one of their trench jackets too!

I found this shop in Dogtown Alley, a little two story punk/neko mall including a couple well known stores - Neko Gear and Primitive Designs. (oh, adding the SLURLs as soon as I figure out how). The store is Cubic Effect. Their selection is limited, but very creative and look even better worn than admired on a wall!

I am going to give cudos to the other makers of my outfit, and will try to do a blog on them too. Hopefully I don't upset any clothiers while I learn the ropes of fashion blogging ^_^

Olive Green Sports Bra - Paradisis, BioPunk
Torn Fishnet Stockings - Dutch Touch (part of the Teppi Dress), The Block
Grey Combat Boots - Orbit, BioPunk
Skin - Le brow2, freckles envy - Another Shop (I bought it a week before they were being given away ^_^)
Hair - Gazette Hair Watermellon - Gritty Kitty (love love love)

I don't think I have any shots in here which show my eyes or piercings, so I am going to leave body parts and accessories out of the post, but if you are needing to know, just give me a shout!

Up on the Roof Top...

Nope, this is definitely not a post-holiday last ditch effort to sing a Christmas carol before the CD goes back in the dusty box labeled XMAS HOLIDAY till the end of 2008. I just put together a roof top garden with lighted fountain, flowers, and romantic poses, all under a star-filled sky! There is one letter to describe it...mmmmm! Oh, and look, a picture Woooo!! I will reference my sources of SL goodies as soon as I get a bit more organized with my postings.

Some of you may be asking - Wild, where did you find the time to do all this? Aren't you usually lip locked and embracing some person you barely know who just happened to catch your fancy? Ok, no I am not that bad ^_~ But, I have been enjoying creating in SL, though my skills are tiny, minuscule, insignificant, microscopic. Nevertheless, it is a start and something about adding my own creations to my home has really made me feel so much more attached to the rock upon which I have dashed myself!

Sitting down never felt so good

With much trial and error and a small shopping spree (under 2 hours) I was able to create simple pillows on the ground with a sit animation scripted in to them! I am much excited by my triumph over the strange and unfamiliar territory of scripting as well as my deeply innate procrastination ^_^ Building on that success, I added a security script to my tower room balcony door, created custom framed art with floating text, and personalized teleporters which can instantaneously zoom me to preset locations on my property. So much easier than walking or flying...or falling off my balcony!

My next goal is to focus this enthusiasm into setting up a photo account and linking it with my blog so I may apply picture to words, adding 1000 X more value to them. Maybe I will be able to post pictures of my little home and it's contents.

A Tale of Two SIMs

I recently expanded my land holdings on the mountain where I live. I'm not sure what it's official name is, but I call it Wilderness on Top! I started off with a relatively modest 1024 parcel and was, originally, looking for space at the water's edge where neighbors would be unable to encroach on my peace and insanity. However, I found it to be cost prohibitive and my unnatural reluctance to live in a tropical environment forced me to seek inland. The mountain was a wish come true. Sure, I have neighbors, but I live on a sheer cliff, effectively isolating me within this rocky suburbia and it has an incredible view. So, after spending almost a week house shopping, I came across one I couldn't resist and promptly plopped it down on my little slice of heaven (yeah, that's how high up I am ^_^). When they say a house is made to fit a 1024 parcel they aren't kidding around. I had to work to make sure the whole structure was contained on my land.

The house reflects the owner in tastes and moods, being a combination of glass and steel and brick, with large open spaces, doors and balconies, and a magical bedroom...mmm. And then I'm supposed to decorate it...ack! I don't even like furniture in 1st Life. Well I have a bed, hot tub, couches, and a weird leather and rivet springboard...oh, and a rocket sleigh. Not bad for a first attempt, I suppose, but I was angling for beauty and simplicity...I swear.

Imagine my excitement when the land next to mine goes up for sale! More property and there isn't a giant house covering the entire surface! Now I own a second 1024 of land adjacent to my own...wooo! Oh...but, someone forgot to mention that the SIM boundary occurs between my two parcels...ouch! And it's not one of those simple to walk across boundaries either. This is the one where you continue to move for 10 seconds, ghosting through the landscape, ignorant of the laws of physics as it relates to solid bodies, before being ripped back to the place you meant to stop. Ok...so...I guess there won't be any skybridges connecting my land together. It's like owning two desert islands within shouting distance with a shark filled canal between. I'm not sure how well I am liking that. Not to mention the new SIM may be a bit lag ridden. And, yep, you guessed it, I erected another house on my new land! And I love that one too! Wait a sec. I have to decorate another one?...oh hell!

I fear, very much like the Dickens' tale, romance may be short-lived and violent. But which land am I going to call home? Which house is the one meant to contain my maddeningly indecisive decorating styles? The battle has commenced!

2008 - It IS a Great Year!

A fervent heartfelt wish to all my beautiful friends! Thank you for helping me achieve love and happiness in 2007. I hope for all your lives to be blessed in 2008 (and I'll be there to help with that heehee).

Hugs and Kisses and Love! -Wil

A One to Many Relationship

No, it's not about databases or programming. The title also is not to be taken verbatim in that way - shame on you. ^_^

My inventory currently holds 10 complete avatars. Some are furry, some are curvy, and some were created for a specific interest. I don't mean I have a few skin variations with different hair and eyes. Shapes, skins, clothing, expressions, and personalities are all there, each in a well documented, organized folder. Ok, not the clothing...that is a whole separate part of my inventory. I enjoy expressing my mental and emotional state with a physical creativity, wearing the face and clothing best suited to my mood. I shop, flirt, live, and love with equal ease regardless of the body I choose to reveal. I feel a more comfortable and complete experience, enjoying friendships that span my masculine and feminine sides, happy to scratch behind my ears or go to a live set in a dizzyingly lit club. I don't have any reason to dictate to anyone what beliefs they should have, nor would I permit someone to do the same to me. Living in Second Life, I accept all cultures and derive pleasure in living my own fantasies. My mind accepts my appearance and seems to be quiet content living in any body, female, male, demonic, or furry.

Wearing a body different from our 1st Lives has been tossed around a lot with an abundance of opinions sprouting from the subject. Tied closely to that is the discussion of "sexual disclosure" and anthropomorphism. A mask is nothing new. Pretending to be what reality suggests you are not has been around far longer than computers. There is no "lie" present in the wearing of an avatar. The inhabitants of Second Life have made no promises or guarantees towards those living in First Life. Citizenship in Second Life is an intentional, deliberate action and requires an acceptance of life among the residents of that world. Unlike the place of your First Life birth, you chose to live here. You can't get in your car and drive to it. There is no airline flight to carry you to that destination.

So I'll offer a good night and a Happy start of another year.

- Wilderness Blessed, Fallen Angel and cynical explorer of the world
- Wil, a funny, furry, little black and white spotted bunny who loves carrots, piercings, and cute vixens
- Wild Foxie, spunky as only a red furred fox can be, nothing suits her better than bright lights, loud music, and the brush of hot air across her well groomed body
- Wild, a girl with the power to shape shift into a gleaming black panther. She mixes a wholesome personality with powerfully seductive desires.

I am a content creator!!

My first attempt adding something to SL that I created has worked...mostly. Thank you to all of those who have inspired me to reach beyond my desire for dancing, music, and shopping, and snuggles ^_^

I am looking forward to invoking the inventions of my imagination and bringing them to life in Second Life. And I continue to cast my eyes in wonder and longing at the vast imaginary vistas which have come to dominate my computer screen and my dreaming hours.

A friend in need

That would be me. ^_^

I just wanted to take a moment to express how very fond I am of the friends I have made in my digital journeys. You are a part of me. My life is enriched with your experiences and thoughts and feelings. Thank you for your trust and your companionship. And I will try ignore the little spike of fear in the back of my heart at the idea of losing my connection to a world where physical distance counts for naught and the ability to share time together may be lost. In a very real way, a friend moving on, disconnecting from our second lives, feeling the need to spend their focus and energy somewhere else is like death and they become beyond reach but not beyond thought.

I am determined not to make a list of names, however. If you read my blog and feel that connection, then know you are included in my thoughts and words. I hope, perhaps, the physical distance may be eliminated just for a day or a weekend to see the beauty of your smile and share the warmth of a hug. But that isn't necessary to hold your friendship close to me and bring a smile to my lips.

Thank you! Hugs and Kisses! - Wil

With a little help from my friends *hiccup*

There seems to be no end of trouble I can find when my already dangerously low inhibitions are further drowned under a vermillion, vivacious, vital viny vintage! Trouble, in my dictionary, typically means that which I ought not to do, but which I very much want to. It can encompass a wild shopping spree, a public display of daring do, or participation in an erotic enticement.

Not desiring the solitude of my mountain home, I wandered to a couple of my favorite clubs, wearing my newest body, listening to people chat away as the thump and rhythm of the music resonated harmoniously in the fibers of my body. The first of my destinations did not appease my social appetite and I moved on after a little while. The second venue had decided to take a very large step away from their normal music and I was in the process of making up my mind to go when I received a private message from one of the dancers. I can't resist a teasing, flirtatious IM so I responded and quickly lost interest in leaving the club. Spending more Lindens than I should have on the buffet of flesh writhing and swaying on the stage, she and I bantered words, each trying to arouse desperate desire in the other.

Oh...yeah, I was feeling pretty warm and not just in the face. And another person sitting casually at the stage opened up with a compliment which would not be properly satisfied by replying "Thank you". Already scintillated by wetly whispered wantonness, I felt the reins of my passion slipping from my control. He was friendly, casual, and responsive...puuurr...an irresistable combination and I just had to run my fingers through dark hair and over his sculpted musculature. I discovered my touch was infectious, filled with the flirtatious flame which lit my eyes with a predatory gleam. He quickened to the gentle caressing of my fingers and words, caution and shyness blown away on sharply exhaled breath. As his hands began their own exploration, I was sliding away from the playful pageant towards lust filled longing.

A story such as this would justifiably end in tangled sheets and bodies and, believe me, my body was ready for bed and not to rest. But, miraculously, I stopped before the point of no return. I had thought my brake lines must have been severed by then. I had lost all willpower to deny my desires. But, there was something I wished for more than to pursue intimate passion and a climatic ending. And that held me in surprise and wonderment. My newly found Mistress had collared me far more than the simple circlet around my neck. She had prohibited me from sexual exploit and the desire to obey Her was taking over. This revelation beat hard in my breast, feeling as erotic to me as the teasing of tongues I had been enjoying. The desire to submit to Her sighed in the hot breath of my lips, the tingling sensation down my spine, and the heated throb of my awakened need. I felt overwhelmed like prey petrified by the lethal grace of its stalker. And now I know I belong to Her until She sets me free.

Beware of what you wish for it may come true ^_^

Blogging for my SL

This is the Second Life(tm) blog for Wilderness Blessed...

What I'd like to get out of this blog is the sharing of my 2nd Life experiences. I've enjoyed reading other people's blogs covering many topics from fashions to tom foolery. I think it's a great way to be a part of a community of cool and original people. I am not so organized as to believe I can come close to matching the prowess with which some of my friends divulge their second lives, but I'll do my best and hope to attract at least a couple readers.

What I'd like you to get out of this blog is - content enjoyment, ideas, places in 2nd Life to check out, and a more intimate companionship with me ^_^

So...coining a phrase of someone who was probably rather unscrupulous and power hungry, but has seemingly been unidentified (I couldn't find the originator of the phrase) "Let's get on with the show!"
