Thaddy’s Blog

What a wierd yet wonderful in parts week it has been. Originally i was just going to blog about my recent PC troubles, but so much more has happened, that i thought i might as well cover most of it.

The week started badly as most of you already know, when my pc died. The graphics card decided it didnt want to work anymore couldnt really have happened at a worse time when im in the middle of doing animation work at uni and had tonnes of graphical work for my shop to complete. Unfortunately i went through the usuals of trying to fix the pc, like reinstalling the operating system and doing various restores, before working out that it was graphics card problems, which means i’ve lost a lot of work towards my shop in the forms of posters and advertising that i was making. This is really annoying as i no longer have a copy of photoshop, so i really have no idea when i’ll be able to get the work done again. So it looks like the opening of my shop is going to be delayed once again, which is a real shame because i was hoping to open it as soon as possible for various reasons.

Luckily for me, my parents surprised me and bought me a new laptop so i wasnt away from everything here and in sl for too long. They told me that as i am switching uni’s in the summer they were going to buy me a new laptop anyway, but as my pc died they were amazing enough to get it me early. Thank you so much mum and dad, even though i know you’ll never ever read this post.

Apart from loosing all of the work that i had been doing on my pc, it was a rather slow week for my shop. I cant really do anything with it at the moment without photoshop, but i did get work started on some new products such as a sofa and an armchair, which were quite low prim for my building style. Im really starting to realise how much more work i am going to have to put in to get my shop up and running the way i want it to be. I have been slacking with it quite a bit lately, and that really needs to change if i am going to have any chance of success. The wonderful words and comments from the people who have seen the shop prior to opening are inspiring me to work even harder and to get it finished so i can show the whole world and hopefully even make a little money. Thank you to everyone who has been to see the shop so far and has shown an interest in it, you are the reason i am doing it.

Ok so im back in world now, what happens next? Well… i quit my inworld job. Im not going to go into the full story of this, because it is long and tiring, but in the short, my sister and i were treated like dirt and i wont stand for that. You’re probably thinking though, if she’s not going to go into the details then why has she mentioned this? I wondered that myself for a bit, but i know why i am, i have learnt a hell of a lot about myself from this. I have found strength, motivation and determination that i didnt know i had. Since leaving the job and refusing to give in to the ridiculous demands that came with it, i have managed to stand my ground and keep my firm position that i will not take either myself or my loved ones being treated poorly and i refuse to give in on this stance. It has resulted in me completely boycotting the sim where i used to work and all activities that go ahead there. I will not be seen as a part of that place anymore and refuse to have any connections to it. I will not work for, or have anything to do with anyone, who tries to manipulate people emotionally, or messes with my loved ones.

I think those of you who read my blog usually will probably be able to see the new strength and determination i have found just from this post. I would not normally feel so strongly about something, but the past week has sparked something deep inside of me and i know i cannot just let it go unnoticed. I am going to do my utmost to put these new found things into the things i do, including my shop and a new project that may be starting rather soon.

Finally, how could i write a post of this week without mentioning the thing that has made it so wonderful. For the first time in what seems like forever, i have spent everynight of it inworld with my love, my Mistress, Rheta Shan. I love her so very much, and she really helped me through what probably would have been a very turbulant week without her there to back me up. Thank you so much Mistress.

Until next time,

Thaddy

As most of you know i have been ever changing in my emotions of late, one minute i can be happy and the next minute im not. Im not a very superstitious person, but with it being Friday the 13th i didnt really have my hopes up for that great a day.

To start with i was right, what started with the plain old task of inventory sorting, ended with me once again in floods of tears. It turns out i really wasnt ready to sort through 7 month old pictures, some of which include friends who have since left the grid. When i finally finished sorting my inventory, i decided to cheer myself up, i would update all of my RR restraints, as i hadnt done so for a while, and also update my viewer. Updating my view went as normal, but i had some probablems when it came to updating my restraints. The biggest of those was the idiot who decided to lock my shackles and run off with the keys whilst i was doing so.

I decided to finish work for the night and asked Sis if she would come shopping with me, something i havent done in AGES!!! Thankfully she said yes and finished work for the night to join me. First stop was the rather wonderful ‘Casa Del Shai’ as I had won two 500L$ vouchers recently at Vanni’s weekly blues event, thank you so much again Vanni . I decided to give Sis one of the vouchers so we had 500L$ each to spend and hopefully not damage our purses much in the process… yeah right. The clothes at Casa Del Shai are some of the best I have seen inworld and around every corner there was another item that sis and I wanted to buy. In the end we both spent more than our vouchers, but personally I think it was well worth it.

I walked away with: Skinny Jeans In Alchem, Deepchild Dress in Moss and the Ruby Shearling Coat in Ebony ( I love this coat soooooo much).

Whilst Sis bought: Adriana Lingerie set, the Dakota pant suit, and a ruby mock turtleneck + jeans (dark ones) oh .. and the absolutely georgeous Reluctant seductress that we both wanted and i cant wait to see her in.

I must admit when i tried on the Coat and Jeans i fell in love *giggles*, i think at the moment this is my favourite outfit that i own inSL. There was only one thing missing, i didn’t have any shoes to match. So at 4:30AM (yes it had gotten late) Sis and I made our way over to ‘Shiny Things’ to find some flat boots to match my new outfit. With more than a little help and convincing I picked up the ‘Comfy Boots in Charcoal’ and while i wasn’t sure when i saw them on the wall, i must say Kudos Sis, they look awesome with my outfit.

With all the shopping done, and Sis and I’s purses considerably lighter, we decided to call it a night, and i went to bed. I had such an awesome evening in the end after what started out such a crappy day. Thank you so much sis, for everything, and I hope you love your new stuff.

Well I think I’ll leave you with a little treat, here is a pic of in my new favourite outfit, including new boots. Unfortunately i cant take the corset off so this pic will have to do for now…

Enjoy Folks and take care!

Yes i am still alive, and i am writing this blog just to prove it. I do intend to keep this blog, just not as frequently as some others do.

Ok so where am i…

Lots has happened in the time since i wrote my last blog post, some productive, some not, some happy, some sad.

Thaddy’s:

For those who dont know already I have been in the middle of making a shop and setting up business in SL for some time now, and over the past month this has really changed from being a thought into reality. With the wonderful help of my love Rheta Shan and the amazing Marx Dudek, i have been able to build my shop and aquire a small piece of land to house it. All that remains are a few finishing touches and setting up of the initial products and we will be off and running. I am planning on hosting a party to celebrate the opening of the store, details of which will be confirmed at a later date, and you are all welcome to come and bring as many friends as you please.

Work:

In the past few days i have finally aquired myself a paying job inworld. Its nothing much, but its actual the only form of income i have in either RL or SL so im very happy with it. I work as  greeter at the Deitide BDSM Playground in second life, so if anyones interested then please come along sometime and hang out.  The main aim of the job really is to earn some money for my store and to help pay back all of the wonderful people who have helped me along the way.

RL:

Recently i’ve been having quite a bit of trouble with RL. I find myself incredibly jealous of my SL and it makes me depressed. This is probably something i am going to blog more seriously about in the future as i find the line between RL and SL getting thinner and thinner.  An update on my knee situation again for those who knew, it is know out of the protective boot and i am able to walk unaided, albeit very slowly, but im almost fully recovered now, so at least there is some RL good news.

Until Next Time,

Thaddy
