One of the things I find most exciting about Second Life is also one that I find most frustrating. I’m talking about CHANGE. There are always new features to adjust to, new places to explore, new events to shop at, new creativity to wonder at… but as new things come, “old” things go. In both my blogging and my every day Second Life, I use a lot of items from my inventory. I also have a tendency to hold on to demos of things that I like but may not be able to afford at the time or that I choose to wait on until I have a definite use. I sometimes spend so much time chasing items and stores down on the grid, sometimes successfully but more and more often it seems that it’s an exercise to nowhere. Since I’m one of those bloggers who try to credit EVERYTHING in the shot because it’s something that I appreciate when others do it, it can be quite time-consuming. For this one post, for example, there were 4 different designers whose locations I just couldn’t come up with (one I successfully found on MarketPlace). It’s always sad when old favorites leave, though maybe I’m a bit more sensitive at the moment because I am getting ready to leave my home IRL. Who knows… but I DO know that I need to focus on the NEW exciting things that are all around me. Happy shopping!
