Why I'm not around much

Wow, I haven't posted since March.  Partly this is due to my natural laziness, but mostly it's because it's been a long dry spell in Second Life.  Here's a nice picture, but I had to go back over a year to find it.

I don't really know what's happened.  I log on, maybe chat with some friends, wander around a sim where no one is talking, and end up leaving, frustrated. 

This isn't to say nothing good ever happens.  But most of it lately has been dates with my friend Kata, blessings on her.  But it's like everyone else has forgotten me.  I'm really sorry to be so negative, but on the other hand if you looked at my profile and ended up here to find out what happened to me, this is what happened.

My best times in SL have been when I've had either friends I could count on to be around night after night, or a sim that I could wander with a pretty good chance of finding random (preferably sexy) RP.  But all the sims I know have turned dry.  Dark Alley was good for awhile, mostly because of the college headmaster, Tea-- but he disappeared, and I can walk the unsafest alleys and tunnels of DA now without so much as a catcall.  Even at meatmarket sims like Bukkake Bliss nothing happens.

Over a year ago I'd regularly hang out at Doomed Ship, mostly with my friend Rita (pictured above).  But I got a little too much of it.  In part, this is because it turns out that for adventure, horror, and even co-op and roleplaying experience, video games tend to be a better bet than SL.  Once you've played Dead Space, then Doomed Ship doesn't have the same thrill.  I miss the sex, though!

I expect I'll be back intermittently.  I've had dry spells before, sometimes for months on end.  And sometimes I've been lucky and found new friends or an active sim after a long drought.  But at the moment I feel like I'm wasting my time.
