When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.  The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.  ~Henri Nouwen

This is the second part of Strawberry’s Singh’s Blog Challenge this week.  Topic: Blog about One of Your Closest Friends in Second Life.

Before I begin…..Sis did you take your meds today?

Bumblebee and I knew each other before coming to Second Life.  You may have heard me mention YoVille a time or two in my blog? Bumblebee is one of the reasons I came to Second Life.  If not for her prodding, posting of pics on Facebook, and singing the praises of SL I would not be here..of this I am sure.

In the beginning I don’t think either one of us thought we would become as close as we have; but fate has a way of aligning the stars and bringing kindred spirits together. There is hardly a day that goes by that we don’t speak, even if it is just to goose one another 🙂 My SL would not shine as bright if I didn’t have my Bumblebee in it.

Plain and simple…I love this woman.

I love her for her uncanny ability to make me laugh. I can be myself around her and have no fear of being judged.  Her loyalty and support never waivers.  She listens to my hopes, my dreams and my secrets and loves me anyway.

We have seen each other through rough times; cried together, laughed together, shared joy in the good times, and heartache in the bad.  When forces would want to do harm to one, the other is there, ready and willing to defend without question. We know when something is wrong or out of sync for the other. Without being physically there we are there for one another…WE ARE JUST THERE FOR EACH OTHER.

Sis did you take your meds today ?

I could go on but it would be pure babble so I will leave you with a little tidbit of a conversation:

The Air Up Here…aka What’s Your Digits – Take 3 Proportions Challenge

Come on up the air is fresher here :)

Come on up the air is fresher here 🙂

 

I have been a tall gal ever since I sat upon the first ballroom pose with a male companion.  It gave a whole new meaning to dancing on air lol. When I took a modeling course a couple of years back I grew even taller.  Depending on the height calculator (every one of them has a different number) I am between 7’3″ – 7’6″, so I am way over the average female according to height, but I don’t mind being heads above the norm.  I gots a clear view 🙂

When I read Strawberry Singh new meme I will admit I did a double take of my arms to see if I had the T-rex thing goin on, and yeah after looking at myself from all angles I had come to the conclusion that I did have that syndrome going on a bit.  I never really paid that much attention but then again all I needed was a slight adjustment.  So to the rack I went after reading many tutorials and many blogs, hence the lateness of this post.

So on to the meme…

Meme instructions: Share your avatar’s digits (if you want to, not necessary) and then copy paste the following questions and answers into your post, remove my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to share your link in the comments of this post and if you decide to share your numbers, the flickr group for the Digits challenge is here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/digits

Proportions Challenge Questions:

  1. Do you try and keep your avatar’s body proportionate and similar to the “average” proportions pictured above? – I obviously didn’t copy the pic but no I don’t.  I love being tall and feel as long as my proportions are in sync with my height I am good.
  2. What do you dislike the most about the SL avatar mesh? – The feet. I have always disliked the feet but now with mesh  I don’t worry about it anymore. My hands well I personally don’t think they are that bad.  I won’t get mesh hands until the update for my skin color comes out cause it is just to frickin hard to match.  I may be waiting a looooooooooooong time lol.
  3. Does it bother you when you see other avatars that are not proportionate at all? – Oh I have my peeves lol, but I say to each his own. I am sure there are those that think I am way to tall but that is their problem, not mine.  This is SL after all and one can look like what ever they want.
  4. Even though this is a virtual world and people can be anything they want to be, do you feel when they are in human form, they should try to keep their proportions close to average? Again, absolutely not.  Have you looked around in 1st life?  I don’t see a whole lot of average lol.

 

Now just for fun, for all the tall peeps out there I have some comeback answers to questions you may encounter about your height.

“Why are you so tall?’

1. My mom fed me Miracle-grow.

2. My parents left me out in the rain.

“Wow, you’re so tall !”

1. My oh my, I never knew that ! Thanks for pointing that out.

2. How long have you had that scalp problem?

3. You have bird poop on your head.

“Just how tall are you?”

1. 5 foot and 24 inches.

2. 7′ and a bit and worth the climb 😛

(Man asking a tall woman) “Do you ever get mistaken for a man?”

1. No, do you?

2. Only when I kick a man’s a@@.

“You should be a model.”

1. Thank you

2. Thank you

3. Thank you

TWMA 🙂
