Got to thinking....

So I got to thinking here recently, I know could be dangerous, however I think that this one is a good one!
I wonder how many people that I went to High School with or Junior High School with play or are involved in Second Life or Twitter and I have no clue. How cool would that be to reconnect with an old best friend or see an old crush in world. It would be awesome to Tweet daily with people that I have lost contact with over the years. I wonder how one would go about finding out.
Now I must do MORE thinking OR you can comment below with some awesome ideas I know you all have. It would be very interesting to know who out there lives a "Second Life" or who Tweets everyday like I do.
So yeah, I would love to get some ideas and see what happens.
BTW I went to Jane Adams Junior High (92-94) in Schaumburg IL and Windsor High School in Imperial MO (Class of 98)......Just in case you were wondering!

Tagging

So I am jumping on the blog tagging bandwagon. It sounds fun and beneficial, so let's see what happens. I have heard about this "tagging" idea in the past few days, but officially was sold on the idea after checking out Leah Dossey's blog and reading all about it. OK so there are some rules to follow to make sure it is properly done.
1. Link to your original tagger, and make sure you list these rules on your blog.

2. Share five facts about yourself in the post - some random, some weird ~ make it fun!

3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.

4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs.

OK so here are my five facts, can't keep them secret forever.

FIVE FACTS ON SADIE PIPPITA

1. My real name is NOT Sadie Pippita. That is my SL name, my real name is Kim Randall and if I would have known I would be working in SL when I first checked out the game back in 2006, I may have named my avatar Kim :P

2. I currently live with family so I can be able to pursue my dreams.

3. I have a black Chihuahua named Cabo that believes MY bed is really his. Yes, he has growled at me when I have gone to bed before. Spoiled puppy!

4. I work in my PJs and LOVE it!

5. I really do love what I do for a job! Not many people can say that, but I can.

OK so there are my five facts...Might not be as interesting as you would have thought, but hey I don't know you like that yet! LOL

Here is a list of the Five Bloggers I personally have chosen to tag. I do believe their blogs are worth the reading, so have a look at 'em. None are the same and all have unique content.....SOooooooOO happy tagging!

Sadie Made is my own original artwork from RL brought into the virtual world. I am trying it out to see what the response would be to my work. I agree everyone has their own style and taste in art so I know that this is not for everyone. They are images created from within my imagination, brought to life through my sketches, paintings and drawings. My art is an expression of myself. Nothing more. None are copied and all are mine. Please check out my shop. Maybe you will find something there that speaks to you.

Remembering my Dad

Today has made it officially one year from the day that I lost a man that was very close to me. A man that was one of my best friends. When we were together we were like two peas in a pod. We were always laughing, telling jokes and probably annoying my Mom :-). My Dad died of a heart attack while he was in a rehabilitation center just overcoming a broken pelvis. He had fallen a few months back in the shower and laid there in pain in the shower for hours until my Mom got home from work. He was a double amputee (both legs to his knees were gone) due to diabetes. He was my inspiration when it came to many things. I always knew my Dad was proud of me and the things I was doing with my life. Sometimes I felt like he was the only one and now with him gone I feel like there is nothing I can do that would make anyone think of me as doing something amazing in life.
The day I got that call saying my Dad was gone was the start to a string of horrible things, but placed in the middle of an already extremely rough year. I had been very sick just months before and it would only be a few months after my Dad died that I would become ill again, lose a couple more family members and have my world come crashing down around me. A man that had promised me to never hurt me, this promise was made the day my Dad died, ended up hurting me to a point where words couldn't even explain the pain. I had gone from being a happy, goof, fun-loving person to not caring about anything. At one point I couldn't take it anymore and just wished I too would lose my life. Life wasn't fun. Getting out of bed was a struggle. Going to work was just a blur. I hated myself, my life and lost sight of the things that mattered most.
I did finally see the light and gave up everything that I knew and had in St. Louis to move in with my family. I needed more help than I knew. Now I am sitting here today writing this as my "avatar" stands in our virtual office, praying that this decision I made doesn't turn out to be the wrong one. It is very hard to know that someone I loved so much will not be around for me anymore. I miss my Dad so much all of the time. I wish I had just a couple more years with him. I know he is no longer in pain and is probably watching me as I write this. I am sure he has his legs again and is perfect and happy, but I do miss him.
So today and many days to come will be hard, this I am aware of, but hopefully soon I will find my path in life that brings me back over to the side where I was for the most part happy.

Mythology and The Shops At Sconfinate Grand Opening Event Update

Well if any of you happened to miss the Mythology and Shops At Sconfinate Grand Opening Event, you missed an amazing time. Lots of L$ prizes were given away during this premier event for Aeris Pinazzo and Burattino String. DJ Laine Markova kept people on their feet dancing while, as I was told, they were using their cameras to shop at Mythology. There were some amazing models to showcase the wonderful designs from Mythology. The event was a huge success and was brought to you by Sand Castle Studios.
