I am sort of depressed about my SL lately, I admit. I find there is always so much to do, and yet there is nothing to do that really inspires me. Maybe I am having one of those bored-of-Korinna phases, but actually, not really. I feel sort of limited by Korinna. I have (what I think) is a cool back story idea, but I would need the help of one of my children (the ones of TOS age.) and they're just not into it.
Lately, and perhaps oddly, I have been more into playing my Character's daughter, who is only 11 months old. I am sure plenty of people think I am a freak for that, but I think I have a very valid (and sane) motivation behind it.
It's really not that I want to be eleven months old again, but there is a certain giddy remembrance of my children when they were that age. Sometimes, we are *inside* of our avatars, but sometimes, we are watching from Camera view, and when it comes to a smaller avatar, the default camera settings always look down, giving me the feeling as if I am looking down upon a child.
My kids are far from infants now, one is 20 in two days. One is nearly 18, another is a short 13 months younger than he. And my baby is a 13 year old young women. Don't get me wrong I adore my children now that they are older, we have stimulating conversations, and can share in adult humour. I love that about us.
But those years when a child is young and innocent truly do not stand the test of time, and memories are precious. Even though I can not have any more children, I am one of those crazy ladies who is always a little baby hungry.
So, when I am playing twig, I find inspiration for her emotes and actions in what I remember my children doing. She is an avatar and a character, and yet she is based on all of my children. When I am playing that avatar, I am having fun, and remembering. My strange overbearing mothering instinct is fed. I love to dress her up in pseudo classical clothing. and make her toys, and decorate her little room.
My only problem is, no one is around to baby sit me. And the mother in me who believes in supervised children can not fathom an 11 month old running around without someone to keep an eye on her. Even if I don't really need it. Even in the safest place for kids in the world.
I realize now, it was the same when I had my Centaur kid when it started out. When he was young. I had him at my other favourite age. I should have kept him there, but at least there I have some closure as I came up for a suitable storyline to write everyone out neatly, and without disrespect to anyone involved. The one benefit of having the older child, though, is I would have had a baby sitter. hehe. Now I have to find creative excuses when my baby is not around...
When I was SL pregnant, I didn't do it out of a yearning to be pregnant again. I did it, really, to prove a point. That it lasts longer than six days, or six weeks, that pregnant bellies do not talk, that no one puts your pregnancy at risk for standing in your whispering range. That your body tells people when your baby is kicking, something you can do with your own mouth. *and* that you could do it for free without loads of scripts that lag everyone else into 2006
Honestly, the limitations and costs of prim babies was a pain in the ass. This is why I got a Tiny toddler avatar for her instead. Far cheaper, and customizable. When my computer feels like double logging, a mommy follower is all I need, and a gesture that allows me to chat (emote) for her if need be.
But, I digress. I am thinking maybe a smarter-than-the-average- goat and herding sheepdog might make decent baby sitters, in the land of make-beleive.

(OoC) So I moved... again.
And here I am. I was debating it all afternoon and evening after Cherno and I started working on The Official Seven Isles Blog
But then a line from a poem by Ovid (that Eacen read at the last bard circle) inspired me.
Corinda, (being a variant of the Greek name "Corinna)" is just too synchronistic to avoid. A new, better name for a journal was born.
Now if only Wordpress would show the Icon I uploaded. ::Marge Simpson grumble::

A question of the ages...
Tonight I have been reworking my character information, I have done this several times now, and I am hoping that this will be the finali-sh draft. I have needed to do this for a long time. As a character grows and evolves, so does their information/character sheet.
Though I seem to have noticed I have done this more than anyone else. *cough* Not that I am self conscious about it, or anything *cough*
But now that I am here again, I am reminded how you can get hung up on something as simple as an age, particularly with playing fantasy people and creatures. There really is no book or science that has been able to put a set aging process of life span on any creatures. You can look at the animal half of models, which tend to age and go through life cycles much, much quicker than their human counterpart and try and balance them, and then you have to kind of find a space within the glamor of being fantasy creatures which are generally accepted to live longer, due to their fantastical-ness.
Ages, years and life cycles get spread all over the map, once you get us all together... you can be 6, or 106 and still be an elven or a fae child. You can be 4, or forty, and still be a child faun. Then again, I have seen adult elves at 80, and adult fauns at forty. Even if it would be fair to force everyone to adhere to the same age scale for the species they are, it would be pretty hard to do!
So I sat here with this dilemma, trying to fill in that age space with something less ambiguous than what I had before, and less specific than a number, when it occurred to me, the most rational way of describing my character's age, was to do so by seasons. Because as the revered Cherno once said to me, years, calendars, time in the form of numbers probably are not things that nature creatures are terribly concerned with. But being nature creatures would make them very in tune with the cycles of seasons.
And, it is a pretty easy scale to work out on your own, I know I am not the first to use this sort of scale, or define my own but I am going to do it anyway.
You can summarize most mammals in the various life stages, and even other animals in similar life stages.
Spring:
Infancy - toddlerhood = Early
childhood = Spring
Adolescence = Late
Summer:
Young adulthood, = Early Summer
Adulthood = Summer
Early Middle Age = Late Summer (tick tock, my harvest clock is ticking!)
Autumn:
Middle age = Early (my harvest clock is running out!)
Old age = Late
Winter:
Venerable old age.
Verging on death/rebirth (if you're into that sort of thing!)
Using these values, I, personally, am better able to describe the life phase of my character, without depending on years, or even using terms such as "The equivlant of a 35 year old in human years." I think my previous, confusing answer was "Early middle age," which I define as being around 35 human years... but others define differently, and it doesn't really *explain* anything to anyone.
But, if I said "Corinda is in her late summer" or Corinda said "I am in my early fall," people would kind of get the point, with a lot of explanation, don't you think? If she said "In my late spring, I ran away from home." People would pretty well get the idea of a person in their late teens, about to grow up very quickly.
It's simple, and I would like to share this as an idea for people to use when defining their characters age, as an alternative, or even a way for people with numeric ages to relate to other characters that just don't have that frame of reference. But I also tend to over complicate things which should be simple, and it has been my experience that the more information you give a lot of players to help them, the more confused they become. So I want to tread softly
But I think it is a worthwhile thought, and worth some exploring... and I am talking about it, here, now, because I am supposed to be finishing my character application/sheet/information.
But it also holds some potential for the way Fantastypeoplebeingtypes could celebrate certain rites of passage, instead of a birthday every year, someone could celebrate their own "equinox" or solstice.
Yup. Still workin on that damn notecard. No closer to it than I was when I started this.

.... and another thing
Odd how a crucial part of what you want to say can be completely left out once the momentum of words and typing picks up. There is something small I meant to say all along in my post from yesterday, about alts. It was only when I read comments (Mwah!) and re-read the post that I realized I left out something small I meant to say.
I also forgot to include an alt that is *sort* of an alt for me, but really more like an accessory, and not exactly *my* Alt. Avry Taurus, was created at a time when we thought it was pretty unrealistic for us to find a possitive parenting situation in Second Life. Had we known Neria, (the ideal child, really.) was coming along he never would have been made. Avry, is not always me or Eacen though... I have a Real life child to whom he really belongs. But RL kids lose interest in things quickly. Thus, Avry is used when he is needed by who is available. So for me he doesn't count as an "alt" as such in my opinion. But even if he did, who cares? It doesn't hurt anyone and it is all in good fun.
So far, this entry utterly lacks grace and is not much more than clumsy explanations. While Master Teleny made an excellent entry in his own blog about Alts, more specifically, when Gender changes. You can check it out here (and should! Do eeet now!)
I have my own thoughts to ramble about one day, about genders and avatars, alts or otherwise. But I am having a hard time putting it into words. (Not that it is a delicate issue for me... I'm all for it. I guess I want to find the right ways to say Male or Female, Real Life or Second Life matters not, as long as you aren't hurting anyone, and being respectful. More on that another time when I can wax properly.)
"And if I walked around saying "Psst... it's me, Corinda! lolz" I would be taking away from my own experience. :) This defeats the purpose. My closest friends are also on both of my friend's lists, so I can always be reached if I need to be."I also meant to say that while I do not go around advertising one of my avatar's connection to the other in world, I don't hide it either. :p Obviously, by talking about it here, and having pictures from both SLs in my flickr. I probably didn't need to state that, but decided to anyway.

"Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin"
I never really blog or post anything on the very public internet that I intend to be profound. When I do, I am usually just waxing about whatever I happen to be thinking about at that moment in time.
To begin with a quote, of one of the most brilliant people in the universe:
Alts have been talked to death, haven't they? And as far as I can tell, there is never going to be an agreement on the "ethics" surrounding them. Which is why it surprises me, that some people still find the idea of having an alt so offensive. Let me note, no specific incident has sparked this thought process, it's just something that vexes me from time to time.
Because let's face it, whether you have an Alt, or you don't, most people on Second Life have at least one. Some people have Alts for business, it's cheaper than paying models when your business is just starting out, for instance, and the use of Alts in business and creation extend well beyond that one example...
Then there are the recreational uses of having an Alt. It seems to me a lot of people believe this is only used when one is being malicous. It has been my experience that the majority of people with an Alt aren't really about having an alternate "Trust me!" mask for when they want to behave like a douche. I don't think that most Alts are created to spy on anyone, or entrap them, and in the cases when they *are* made for those purposes, that person is toxic in their "main" identity too, and bullshit is going to come out of them sooner or later anyway. I am even sympathetic to people who have a moment of weakness to the temptation in order to do things they might not otherwise do.
There are merits to having an Alt for recreational purposes that do not involve manipulation of anyone. Someone might be trying to have a fresh start after their other Second Life left a bad taste in their mouths, or someone was harassing them. Someone might want to have the presence of an idealized partner, child, etc to match their avatar's personality, without getting involved with an online relationship. This really doesn't hurt anyone. Some people just see the opportunity to be more than one person or thing,
I am one of those people. I do have an alt who is quite a bit different to my Main Avatar Corinda. where Corinda allows me to frolic in my love for ancient mythology, Haru is my gaming nerd outlet for my love of Forgotten Realms, and -- to be bold-- a little bit of expression of my Bisexuality. Corinda is mostly straight. Haruko, is not. at all.
I know some people feel as if the identity of an alt must be disclosed in order for anyone to truly trust the motives. I can see the Merit in that, but doing that also has a way of blending what might be two distinct personalities, and taking the fun out of it. I have a few friends, for instance, that are so good at knowing their different alt, their whole way of speaking, even out of character changes, and it is truly like speaking to another.
Should I feel deceived? No. Even if I did not know who else they are? No. If this game was about being real all of the time, My character would not do flips, and would sometimes walk with a cane when I am having a bad flare. It's a different reality for me, often times when I am having a terrible day, when I am asked, I can genuinely respond through Corinda as having a good one. Just because her typist is not having the best day, doesn't mean she is!
I don't know if I achieve that with others, but I do know I feel like a different person from one Alt to another, and I enjoy that feeling. And if I walked around saying "Psst... it's me, Corinda! lolz" I would be taking away from my own experience. :) This defeats the purpose. My closest friends are also on both of my friend's lists, so I can always be reached if I need to be.
Like I said, nothing profound to say. Just waxing on my thoughts when it comes to folks in general getting into a kerfuffle over Alts. When bad things do go come of it, look at it as another example of bad behavior and not a damning indictment on alts as a whole. And think about creating one yourself to understand the merits of the experience!

Bard and Drum Circles (OoC)
This morning at 10am SLT and again at 7pm SLT, Eacen is doing Drum circle. Just click here, and follow the mini map dots!
In the near future (i.e. when I get back in world) Eacen and I are thinking of adding something to Drum circle to give it a little something more. That is, cultural-instrumental ambient music that compliments the drumming. Maybe something different each week. We will see how that works out.
There has recently been a redistribution of old and new additions to our activity lists, as we have had some people step forward to offer their help. I really hope some folks start taking advantage of that soon. The more the merrier!
I'm not just family-biased when I say that my Sister-in-law Lady Hawks Bard circle was really, really nice. I cried, actually. She has a good eye for stories that fit in our theme very comfortably, is a good storyteller, and it was nice to see a few new members bring their own contributions. I really think this is an event we have needed for a long time. Very suitable for our RP setting (whether you RP or not.) She is so awesome for doing it!
speaking of RP, I want to make a little commentary on it. So many people are so intimidated by it. So many people think it is all about politics and combat. I know we have been making an effort to make sure that is not at all the case, since these things clash with our setting quite a bit. I see people all the time who say they don't want to RP, or don't think they can, when they already are.
RP characters can be anything from a vast variation of yourself... (say a *centaur* for example) or just another facet of ourselves. Since so many of us take advantage of the opportunities SL holds to be something or someone else, we are by default, playing a role.
Even our tendencies as people to read books, watch television or see movies, can be looked upon as a vicarious form of Roleplaying. You are interacting with other people, a different world, and different stories through the format of the film, book or show. All Roleplaying is, is more interactive, more creative, and closer to your heart.

... And what became of the Dryad. [thank you!] == (OoC)
The Dryad was not mistaken when she trusted in the piper. When the warm days came again he went to the oak-tree to let her out. But, to his sorrow and surprise, he found the great tree lying upon the ground. A winter storm had blown it down, and it lay with its trunk shattered and split. And what became of the Dryad, no one ever knew. – Frank R. Stockton’s “Old Pipes and the Dryad”
So I am pushing a month since I have been in world. My laptop has been having some serious issues. Motherboard issues that have manifested first in the destruction of my heatsink fan, and sound card. No matter how much you want to, you just can’t baby a computer having that kind of a problem, so off to the big manufacturer for fixing it went, which means six of the days it has been gone has been lost in shipping, and two more of those days were lost in a weekend when no repairs are done.
More...
This process has been rather agonizing for me. Being separated from my laptop is like being separated from a limb. Without it, I just can’t seem to do the things I want or need to do, and swiftly a sort of depression sets in. I know, that for people waiting on things from me that things have been more inconvenient. It’s been hard on me too.
So, if I am starting this blog while I am out of world, I may as well take a post out to tell my family in Second Life Thank you for the support, and patience, and understanding.
Much to my frustration, I was crestfallen and heartbroken, when my computer that I had anxiously tracked it’s FedEx return itinerary, came back in the exact same condition I sent it away in. Exact same. They didn’t even touch it. They didn’t read the notes. They put it back in a box and mailed it back out to me. It may have been a shipping and handling error. I keep my Laptop in pristine condition, it doesn’t look like it is almost a year old, and is used for most of every day of the year.
Whatever happened, I am in the same situation I was in when this all started at the end of the year. And, due to a weekend and a lost day trying to deal with customer service, my laptop has not even gone out for re-repair. Hopefully the labels for the expedited overnight FedEx shipping will come tomorrow…. Hopefully.
In the meantime, what I *am* using is an old Frankenstein’s bride made of used parts long left in a closet, just gagging for a sequel, running on an unregistered version on Windows XP. It is a miracle the thing meets system requirements for Second Life. (and it does, just barely) but system reqs met or not, this is what I get when I try and log in.
(and this is when I can get it to open at all, Emerald crashes too.)
Believe it or not, living in a household with 6 computers total (including my dead one. One computer per person) does not make it easier to get in world. Getting comfortable physically and mentally in my kid’s room in order to be in Second Life for hour increments is just not possible. My Husband is more than willing to lend me his computer, but when only one of us can be on, a lot of things seem to get very complicated. Even though it is hard for me to be out-of-world, this is the easiest way for us to deal with it.
So, to be dryadic in my frame of reference (you know, just to be different), you could say that in order to endure the cold hard months, I’ve gone into hibernation, and if Frank Stockton’s story hold’s any truth for Corinda, perhaps she should have seen this coming.
“I shall not have to go back till winter has come, and the air grows cold.”
And so… for official RP purposes, and our unfolding story Corinda has been hibernating with me. Unlike old Pipe’s Dryad, our story still goes on. The Waiting is the hard part.
