Yaaaaaay, I’m not dead!

Just really busy.

Oh, and this is my cat River Phoenix (don’t hate). He says hi.

Not a catlady but..

Ok so, breedables..I never understood that. It’s like a tamagotchi only you have to pay all the time for food.

Oops.

So when I saw the Ozimals ads on the feeds quite randomly, I decided I wanted the Pacific Fundraising one. Aaand then I saw the special for St. Patrick’s Day. And I of course couldn’t leave without a starter package…

Oops again.

I cleaned out my living room and now I have 3 tiny bunnies hopping around there. Did I say oops?

Oh right, there’s a Teletubby-like tutorial that you can follow about bunnies. It was..fascinating *the color, it hurts mah eyes!!!*

The birth. You get a basket and..within 3 minutes the bunny is born \o/ This was the regular, non-special starter kit.

Koetje (Dutch for little cow, bc of her colours) has a small eye problem when moving around..xD

However, she comes with sitting and standing-animationsssss..blah..blah..

On to the elite bunnies \o/

SHE IS SO TINY BTW. CAN YOU SEE HER? Take out your magnifying glass!

Anyway, the elite bunny. It’s a special St Patrick’s one ^ basket

CHECK HER OUT! It’s like someone threw up paint all over her.

Of course, that’s what it all started with..the Fundraising bunny. My favorite already (don’t tell anyone!)

Look at that, so cute and pretty ^-^ I named her Hope:) She has a tendency to walk after me out of the door and then fail to hop back inside. Step’s too high. Then again, the others don’t do it and their range is the same.. Annoying little fucker;)

All together now: NAWWWWWW!!!

So for now I have 2 female (!) and 1 male bunny hopping around. GET TO THE SEXING BUNNIES! DO WHAT YOU DO BEST!

No wait, I didn’t just say that.

I’m also not planning to ever sell them but give them away if they ever end up having awesome offspring. Holler at me if you want to be on the list xD

The items I’m wearing are almost all part of the donations to Japan (besides the eyes, pants and bracelets). The hair is from Sadistic Hacker and 100% of the money goes to help for Japan. The shirt is free (and tintable) (and awesome) from Rotten Toe, go get it \o/ Necklace is from Rotten Toe as well, money goes to Red Cross, I think.

The Ozimals elite bunny for Japan is rather pricey, but again..all money goes to help Japan.

Randomness prevails..

Hai pictures that need to get off my desktop!

Hello, I’m Nina and I like hanging around in seedy places.

Wastelands ❤ Whatever house I will live in, the Seedy Drifters’ Camp will forever be my home *nostalgia*

Mailbox-sitting, a new sport. Sign up at Nina’s place for the monthly championships. Bring your own mailbox.

Don’t mess with me, I’m hardcore like that. Look at my teletubby sky and Linden’s Lame Grass!

Skin from Pink Fuel for Diamond *blahblah* Hunt. Yes, it’s a pretty skin, but it also has teeth options. I don’t understand the big whoop about teeth, everyone looks like a rabbit to me.Obviously I won’t ever wear the tooth option and this picture is just for shits and giggles.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA *chews on carrot*

Pacific Fundraising Event updates soon!

 

PCF part 1: the entrance..

So atm, I’m levitating over the Pacific Fundraising Event. It’s laggy. It’s grey. NOTHING rezzes. On the positive side: I could get in at the first try. Which explains why I still have hair (took it off now). Can people also stop chatting in local chat *is a hermit*, it fills up my screen and it’s just useless chatter kthx.

To give you the feel of it:

I think I’ll just fly over it for about an hour (that’s my Skin Fair tactic), until everything has rezzed, and then cam around.

Updates coming soon!

Edit 1: So far I’ve been here for..30 minutes maybe? I bought 3 things which is basically just a frickin gamble, as the vendor pics won’t rezz properly and I’m not even gonna try on demos here. Is the lag really caused by all the people here? I mean, the setup isn’t anything fancy, so that can’t be it (aka no prim grass etc). WHY do people wear BALLGOWNS (you heard me) to these sort of things?

Edit 2: Yawn. I’ve become an ARC nazi.

Is is national ballgown day?

Edit 3: Been here for an hour. Pictures that rezz, don’t really rezz properly so no clue what I’m buying. Somehow I didn’t buy any clothes, just skins..a skybox (lol), hair, shoes and antlers. I think I’ll give it another go at a later time, because the sun (the rl one!) is shining and this IS my last day of holiday before work starts again;)

Continue rezzing \o/ Continue rezzing \o/ You can do it \o/

Happy Wednesday xx

ARC..AARGH.

So after discovering low ARC clothing for free at the Fashion for Life event, I decided to experiment a bit with getting my ARC as low as possible. At lag-heavy events, I just duck-walk around bald in a bikini because I never take the time to properly prepare. BUT! This will change \o/ After about 3 months of blogging, I decided I’d be a “good blogger” now with mediocre pictures and semi-witty remarks. Maybe someone will invite me to events (hahahaha, who am I kidding?), but if not, then I’ll just go with the ‘regular crowd’ in a low-lag-enhancing outfit.That sounded..off.

“I’m so glad you’re still down to earth Nina!”

Yes, I tend to stay amongst the plebs and such, while the REAL fashionistas..I don’t know what they do really. Things I don’t have time for, I think. Taking pictures for me is *click snapshot-save*. Ha, plebs. Such a strange word.

Plebs. Plebs. Plebs. Bask. Bask. Clutch.

Must.stop.talking.

Anyway, let me talk you through my little journey of being the best(!) non-contributing-to-lag person EVER!

This is how I started (click on pictures to make them bigger). Yes, I’m poor. At that time, I had already taken off my flight feather and AO, and it made ZERO difference to the ARC. Always thought it did o.O

Taken off my shoes..Quite a difference already..

Taking off your hair really makes a difference (which we all knew, of course). I tried to find the *delete scripts* from the Magika hair, but somehow it’s not an option on the PCF special hair.

Taken off my necklace..

My RING was THAT scripted?!?!?!

That’s all clothes-wise, I couldn’t really take anything else off..

Look at my cool hair-tattoo!!

I look butch.

So today, you will see me walking around in all my butch-glory @ the Pacific Fundraising Event (when does it even start?). Say hi if you dare!

Any takers on a lower ARC? (and yes, you still gotta be decent and not just have a fullbody tattoo)

Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look.

FLF “hunt”

FLF. A good cause. Something I will throw massive amounts of money at. Same goes for the Pacific Relief Thing(whatsitcalled again?) which starts tomorrow. To be honest, I will rather spend my money at these events (with surprisingly low lag, anyone willing to explain?) than at Hair Fair/Skin Fair/Garden Fair/Shape Fair also known as Lag Fair. That phrase was long, even I got lost in it.

I heard there was some kind of “hunt” going on at the FLF sims as well, so of course I went. Problem with me + hunts is that I have a very short attention span. Very. By the time you’ve read those two phrases, it is highly possibly I have gotten distracted and forgot what I was talking about.

I got a few goodies and a rather awesome freebie I will now rave about. First the goodies..

Dress is a huntprice at Boho Baku. Boho Baku, I love you in..let me count the ways. I think I own half her store. I’m a hippiegirl at heart. This price cost me L$84 (strange number..) and look at the exquisite (ha.ha.ha, I sound rather suck-uppy) detail in the top! (Pose courtesy of my fidgety AO)

Ain’t that pretty? The skin is obviously from Al Vulo, a huntprice for the *blahblah DIAMOND somethingsomething* hunt. Don’t make those long huntnames because I will forget them =/ Hair from Magika, L$50 for this colour, money goes to Red Cross for Japan. Tattoo is from..ehm..a..store..that I forgot the name of (bad blogger Nina, bad blogger!) and it’s great. Think I’ll post a separate blog about it sometime this week. You get to see me half-naked! Ain’t life grand?

This dress makes me seasick. It’s from SD Wears and it moves so much that I needed to hold onto my chair when I walked around in it. It’s a L$10 huntprice.

*takes bucket* It has this strange promdress feel..

Last one, huntprice from [elikatira]. They’re shoes. They’re pretty. I thought it was hair. No, I didn’t actually put them on my head, but elikatira = hair imo. When you buy the huntprice, it doesn’t actually SAY what it is. Bit like a blind date: you hope for something and you usually DON’T get what you expected. That’s fun, kids! (No, I’ve never been on a blind date for that exact reason)

I’m available for all your feet modelling (no…not..like..that…)

Those actually were the “few goodies” I picked up o.O The rest required more searching (A)

On to the TGIS, who had a random freebie out that I happened to hop across. This is useful AND pretty! *stop..being..so..PR-y…* It’s low ARC clothing in 3 shades, AND it’s fashionable all in one. Blah..blah..Pictures!

There’s a tree growing out of my head.

If you look really closely (like reallyreallyreally) you see there are cherries on the pants. Stunning fashion photography right there, put it in your archives people!

Hunt away, people \o/

 

LL goes zen

Pfff, SL really isn’t cooperating lately. I tried Phoenix, Kirsten’s and the “official” viewer, and I still crash every 10 minutes. Usually right when I’ve found the pose I was looking for and press *take snapshot*. I never wanted to stab myself in the eye more.

Speaking of eyes, look at these beauties (these pictures were taken yesterday evening, when SL momentarily forgot to crash all the time)

Eyes from FASHISM (opens March 15th, can already be bought at Fashion for Life). I would tell you the name of these beauties, but I have ragequit SL and am not planning to log back on for a while now. They are cheap though, the FLF eyes are L$100, and the others L$150. They come in about 5 sizes in one package.

Maybe it’s a good thing SL is so laggy =/ Yesterday night I looked into the mirror and thought to myself: “Hey, my eyes don’t look very realistic.” WHAT?!

Ignore I just said that.

You gotta agree with me here, the eyes look stunningly real.

On to the next subject…ehm..random pictures I snapped mid-lag/mid-drama/mid-teleport-fail..

Look, I teleported home and ended up..here. IT SAID IT WAS MY HOME o.O

Yeah, I know you want me. Look at mah sexeh eyes, baby!

This is me participating in the Diamond *somethingsomething* hunt. I admit it, I only participate in hunts because of the free skins and hair. In the rare case you don’t recognize it *cough*, I’m at Al Vulo to score the huntskin! Look, it’s..snowing/raining lag. Makes navigating ultra difficult, obviously. Please sim owners, I know it looks fancy but no rain/snow please. IT DOESN’T REZZ PROPERLY!

Anyway, I got the Al Vulo skin and the Magika Nayla hair (for L$50 for Japan donations), and I would show them to you but the minute I snapped a picture….make a guess…-_-

Let’s all breathe in and out and stop yelling at SL and throwing laptops out of the window.

I last logged into this sight below, and I think it’s LL telling me to chill the fuck out and zen some more.

*Peace*

Live like you mean it. Love like you feel it.

Quick post, experimenting with Windlight settings.
