June 26

Hmm . . . seems like a significant date, for some reason.

But I wonder what that reason could possibly be . . .

In my restless dreams . . .

I see that town. Silent Hill.

Yeah, not much to this post. I just took a few pictures tonight, did a little compositing and Photoshopping, and decided to share

Chloe finds herself lost in the fog, but she’s not alone . . .

Hmm . . . this gives me an idea. Maybe in between Kyūketsuki chapters, I can do a little Silent Hill fan fiction. Maybe.

Open Latte gone?

In SL—where it is not a matter of whether everything changes, but when—I should not be surprised after a sim or build closes. Yet tonight, when I tried to find Mill Pond and the Open Latte coffee shop, only to discover that neither exists any longer, I was a little shocked.

I can’t say that I spent much time at Mill Pond. In fact, I probably only visited a handful of times, and I always accompanied the same person when I went. It always seemed to be busy, though—thriving. It seemed like there were always people there with whom to chat, if you so chose.

I suppose this is what happens after drifting away from SL for a time. When you return, the landscape has changed quite a bit, and it’s a little difficult to find where you fit. I’m dealing with that now, as most of the people I knew from my SL-obsessed, stay-up-all-night, I-have-no-real-life days are around occasionally, at best. Luckily, I’ve managed to catch up with a few of them recently, and I’m starting to feel more at home again. I’m hoping to run across more of you soon.

Bye, for now. <3 to you all

Belated birthday wishes

I was away from my computer the last couple of days, so I didn’t get an opportunity to post here and wish happy birthday to two of my favorite people, SL or otherwise. I’m rectifying that now

Happy belated birthday, Keeley and Dirk! I hope you both had great birthdays, and I hope that I get to catch up with the two of you soon!

Chapter 11 posted (finally!)

It could probably use an edit, but chapter 11 of Kyūketsuki has finally been added.

And now I can get some sleep

Very quick Kyūketsuki update

OK, all of the images are done and have been uploaded (though you can’t see them yet), and I began writing the new chapter last night. Unfortunately, I was tired and fell asleep before I finished it

I know I’m not going to be able to work on the new chapter tonight, so the earliest you will see it will be on Wednesday evening. I *do* promise that it will be up by the end of the week.

I did upload a new header for Kyūketsuki yesterday. I think it’s better than the last, but feel free to tell me what you think.

Beware the Ides of March . . .

. . . because that’s when kitties scurry out of the alleys to resurrect their SL accounts . . .

So, yeah, I was in SL for a while today. I’ve been on and off since my rez day, but usually only for brief periods of time. I did recently get to see my friend Keeley and her hubby Geo play in world, which is always a treat, but other than that, I’ve been mostly absent. Today, though, I spent several hours in world with one goal in mind—to finish taking the pictures I need for chapter 11 of Kyūketsuki. And I’m happy to say, mission accomplished

Yep, I finally have the pictures taken, and I’ve even done most of the post-processing, so after a ridiculously long hiatus, Kyūketsuki is being revived! I’m hoping to finish up working on the images tonight and to complete the new chapter sometime tomorrow evening. No empty promise this time!

I’ve really felt the need to create recently, so maybe this will get me going on the blog again. If not, well, you’ll only have another six-to-seven months to wait for the next chapter

Oh, and I uploaded a few pics to my Flickr account today. I’m mostly just showing off some of the rez day gifts my uber-generous friends gave me. Speaking of which, I totally need to get with Wolf—who gave the gift of lindens—to help me pick out something. Yeah, you’re not shirking your responsibility in helping with the gift-choosing, buddy

That’s all for now. I hope you all enjoy chapter 11 of Kyūketsuki when I get it up. I think this chapter brings with it some interesting developments, but there is a very slight chance I might be biased . . .

The much delayed rez day post

Yeah, yeah . . . I’m suck a freakin’ slacker Anyway, on February 5 (yes, over three weeks ago), I held a party for my second rez day on top of my skybox. I had a great time, and some very cool kids showed up to help me celebrate

Thanks to those who stopped by as well as those who sent well wishes (and gifts)! It was awesome to see people whom I hadn’t in a while and to hear from others. Maybe I’ll be able to get together with all of you more in the near future.

Ain’t no party like a Chloe Streeter party, ‘cuz . . . whatever

Invitations have been sent

OK, so the party is on It will be on Thursday, February 5 at 4 PM SLT. A landmark was included with the invitations, but I think the tp spot for the plot is set to the ground level, so I may have to put in a teleporter.

If you didn’t receive an invitation for some reason, let me know. I tried to include all my SL friends, but there is the chance I missed someone.

Like I said, this won’t be anything big, but I hope I get to catch up with some people I haven’t seen in a long time. It might be fun. It’s feasible, at least . . .

The terrible twos!

I just realized that my second rez-day is approaching! Yep, on February 5, I will be two years old!

I really want to do something to celebrate the occasion. I’ve talked about having a party for a long time, but nothing has ever panned out. The thing is, I’m not a great hostess, so entertaining a large group of people is probably beyond my abilities

Anyway, Keeley and I just moved to a new plot of land (did I ever mention we’re roomies?), and I’ve just started setting up my skybox again. I was thinking of maybe setting up the top of my skybox as a place to hang out, though, and just inviting anyone to stop by on Thursday, if you have absolutely nothing better to do. If I get this together, I’ll drop notecards on people with a landmark and times, etc.

So . . . maybe I’ll see some of you on Thursday
