Previous Truths: #1, #2, #3, #4

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?

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.

On a sim called Creamshop you will find not only a cute store called Creamshop, but also one of the best sim builds I’ve seen to this date. Rainy Town is exactly what it sounds like, a rainy little town. You land in a flooded tunnel where special little creatures awaits you (I’m not going to ruin the surprise, but they’re cute, promise). If you make your way through the tunnel you come out to a little town-square and by the time you get there you’ll be in awe.

Very realistic, very noir-looking is this sim-build that features rain in the most beautiful way possible. The creator seems to have thought of everything, little puddles on the side-walk, rain dropping from the awnings and even a little apartment with rain dribbeling windows. This sim is perfect for taking photographs or just walking around admiring, not to mention the fact that you can shop in it.

TP to Rainy Town.

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.

A few days ago I contacted a shop owner on a costumer service note. I have never spoken to this person before. The chat that followed points to one of my Pet Peeve’s that are running rampant in Second Life.

Shop Owner: ok honey gonna send that to you right now
Shop Owner: ok hun sent

Imagine if this was real life. I go to the customer desk at a store and ask for help. No rep in the world would dream of calling me “Hun” in that situation. It’s rude and condescending, not to mention totally inappropriate. Yet, in SL, it seems to be the norm.

If you don’t know me you are not allowed to call me Hun, Honey, Baby, Darling, Doll, Sweetheart or any other moronic nick name you can dream up.

My name is Kissowa. Don’t call me Hun.
