Second Family – nimil’s adventures in wonderland

since i’ve been pretty much gone since all this real life stuff happened, i decided yesterday to get on briefly and check out all the amazing gifts my friends left me for xmas. i had a lot of fun smiling and opening presents. thanks to all of you who sent stuff it really lifted my spirits.

so now i present to you, the haul:

from my wonderful and adorable sl daughter i received this awesome bracelet which tells the world that i am the “best mommy” this gift actually made me cry. it was so sweet of her.

caesey also gave me a set of bat jewelry, this is the necklace from it. also wearing a candy cane made by rai blaylock, one of my newer plurk friends.

from my friend jasmine, i received this outfit from sn@tch… while i do love sn@tch, this outfit is very… um… not me lol

a plurk friend, quaintly, dropped this cupcake on me 😀 its really cute and has several poses, and will most likely serve as a throne for my daughter as she is the cupcake princess *nods*

ryker sent me things to stick in my mouth 😀 some really cute cookies, this is just one of them.

fenni got me this adorable mouse for my shoulder. i collect rodents in sl, i have a huge folder full of them, but this one is my fave at the moment.

foe sent me this weird ornament shaped lounge thing.

i tried to make a collage of all this stuff that rai blaylok sent me. you’ll probably have to click on that one to get the larger version.

autumn sent out these really awesome friendship bracelets. i love it! it reminds me of when i was a kid.

danni, one of the girls that live on the island lucas and i live on, gave me a box with a white and a black version of this corset piercing! she is so sweet and she even gave presents to the kids 😀 she also gave me a necklace but i haven’t put photos in it yet so i didn’t take a picture lol

these last two gifts are from the wonderful emerald wynn. i am so glad that i’ve met her, she is so sweet and i really admire her blogging style. she sent me a monkey.. and some sort of odd cat thing that i can lay on. that monkey has a worried look on his face >_>

so that’s my haul! i know you are saying OMG WHY DIDN’T LUCAS BUY YOU A GIFT THAT BASTARD. but no that’s my fault because he’s supposed to take me shopping for one but i can’t think of anything i want lol so i will buckle down and figure out something i want him to buy soon and then dedicated a whole blog to it *nods*

so anyway thank you people in second life who brighten my day. i have no idea how to repay you but thank you all the same.

i was trying to come up with a good way to introduce the blogging world to the new adventure i’ve set out on in second life, but its just for some reason really hard to explain i guess lol.

only in second life can an adoption consist of two people saying “ok you’re mine now :p” and it be binding.

last week lucas and i added a couple of new members to our family. it wasn’t planned and i’m still not sure if it was a good idea (just kidding kids) but we did it and i’m really happy to have them in our life.

so second life, these are my kids. caesey and elijah. one is 6 1/4 and one is 13 going on 21 :p both of them are completely and utterly awesome and i feel very proud to call them my kids.

to some, second life families are weird, but i’ve never felt that way. i think here in this world where we can be anything, we should be allowed to be ANYTHING. and if you wanna be a kid well be one! i think its awesome. so far i’ve gotten to tour an elementary school (hke), attend my daughter’s dj sets (she rocks), run though the kids 50L fridays (they have one too! and its great!) and go to some pretty interesting places.

on top of that i feel peaceful! yes that’s right this has been RELAXING! yeah i know real motherhood would probably be hell on wheels compared to this but this has been wonderful. always someone to hang out with and talk to and everything is so happy and light. i’m really a big kid myself so i have always gotten along with children. i’ve just always thought i would be a crappy mom. and yeah i dunno if i’m being a good mom to them or not (only had them about a week or so.. so not sure)

i do know that i am one of those annoying moms who takes 283497294 photos and makes their kids pose on every friggin poseball in the family section of glitterati.

of course there is the down side which is stupid and annoying.. you can’t take kids to formal ballrooms without the embarrassment of having them kicked out even if they are dressed formally and the club is not an adult establishment (its not like they were having sex there.. they were playing jazz..sheesh.) so we’ve had a little trouble finding things to do with the kids that don’t involve standing in the skybox looking for things to do. what they really need is a family friendly website where people can list this stuff because its so buried under the mountains of FREE SEX!!! and business in a box shops that you can’t find anything worth going to.

ok i’m done ranting. in closing this family thing is really fun. i’m enjoying it a lot 🙂 no i’m not going to lose my evil side being a mom. my kids are devils.. don’t let the cuteness fool you. the first time i met caesey she was floating around our old shop last year wearing love kills (that’s the heart balloon with a noose), and my son likes to tell people we’re rock stars… so they are just like their mommy and daddy. and its slightly inspired me to make creepy stuff that kids can wear as well as adults.

what did you get for xmas?

how did that happen?
