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
