Truth #6; I’m really bad at math.

In school I’ve always been the person who gets good grades without really trying. It’s made me lazy, I’ll admit. So when something takes a lot of effort, I tend to panic and shut down. Math is one of those things. I’ve never been a friend with math, I’ve struggled with it for as long as I can remember.

Now, unfortunately almost all of the professions I find interesting need a certain amount of math. So it’s become like my Achilles’ Heel. I have this one class that is a must-do on nearly all degrees I’d like to take. I’ve done it twice and failed both times.

It doesn’t help that I live together with someone who’s taken every math course known to man. “This course is so easy, you’re smart, you’ll get it.” Drives me insane! Yes, I am smart, except when it comes to math.

Leave me alone already!

Truth #5; I don’t like children.

And I’m not talking about just kid-avies in SL. I’m talking actual RL breathing and living children. I mean really. The first few years is just a big mess of slobbering, screaming, pooping and sleeping. What’s to like? You know, I don’t even think they’re that cute. A kid has to be exceptionally fluffy for me to think they’re cute.

You’d think it’d get better as they grow too. But no, I can’t even understand a kid under the age of 7. A lot of incoherent babbel is what I hear. How someone can find this adorable is beyond me. And go figure, as soon as they are understandable, they also start demanding things. And then they’re just a few years away from puberty. We all know what a big nuisance a teenager can be.

Anyway, this seems to be a truth that is very provoking to many people. But really, it’s not like I go around screaming “I hate you” to every child I meet. I give them the same initial respect as I do with any other person. I’m polite, I was raised well.

But, when asked one of the most moronic question in the world “Why don’t you have kids yet?” I’ll tell the truth. I don’t like them. Not even a little. Can’t think of myself as a Mother. And boy do people get their knickers in a knot.

And no, I’m not going to change my mind “when I grow up”.
I’m 25, I’m pretty damn grown, ok?

It’s hard to miss the fact that today is Saint Patrick’s Day, a holiday celebrated through-out Second Life. So, for today’s TP to I’m taking you to West of Ireland. It’s a sim that’s a little bit different from other sims, as stated on their website:

The mission of the West of Ireland is to promote Irish and Celtic culture within Second Life and raise awareness of Project Children, while providing guests and community members with an entertaining and welcoming environment.

So, while you can hang at a pub, shop or listen to live music you can also help contribute to a worthy cause.

Of course, Saint Patrick’s Day is a big thing on this sim and there’s a mass of things to do here today. It starts off at 11 am SLT with a live act and keeps on going the entire day. But it doesn’t stop there, nope, this is only one part of a Festival running until the 22nd of March. So if you feel like going out having a RL drink at a RL Irish bar, you can always go to West of Ireland tomorrow.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

TP to West of Ireland.

Adelaide Forest is a commercial-free open to the public sim built by the talented Jasper Ashley. It’s a beautiful lush forest in autumn color with some great opportunities for exploration, relaxing or even romance. You can read a book by a waterfall, have a picnic in the grass or meditate by the lake. For the romantically inclined there’s couples dance-balls and cuddle spots all over the forest. Really just an excellent spot to to hang out in.

I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on my last post, mostly from plurkers but also some inworld and in the comments. I didn’t realize it would be such a controversial topic and I’ve enjoyed hearing peoples thoughts on it.

There does seem to be a cultural difference between Sweden and America regarding this. My friends inform me that is in fact common to hear these terms from customer reps and the likes in America. The south seems especially good at this, I was informed. In Sweden however, you would be seriously reprimanded, maybe even lose your job if you called a customer “Hun”.

I really do enjoy a good discussion and I’m always ready to hear people out and change my opinion if I feel it needs revising. But then someone comes along that just proves my point. I got IM’d inworld by someone with no profile information what so ever, obviously an alt account.

Alt Person: Just a thought… today you bitched about someone calling you “honey” and how inappropriate and rude it was. Ever stop to think that flipping people off of a community blog and using the F word all the time is a little inappropriate?
Alt Person: Grow up, little girl.

First of all, yes, you’re right, it is rude to flip people off. It was kind of the point. Secondly, “F word all the time” is a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think? This blog has one (1) count of “F-word” in it, and it’s in the context of “Effing Ace”, meaning positive context. If you’re that sensitive, I’m sorry, but I really can’t help you.

Third and last. Don’t IM me from an alt account and tell me to “grow up” and call me “little girl”. It just makes you look stupid and proves my point.
