Regency Fest! ....Battlestar Pacifica.....and the New Babbage Majestic Navy

What a great weekend in SL!

This weekend was time well spent in Caledon, New Babbage, and BSG47 Battlestar Pacifica.

Regency Fest was fantastic fun...we are definitely the party sim of Caledon and... whatever happens in Regency, stays in Regency....

In addition to all the partying going on....the weekend could be summed up with one word....uniforms!

I was in some sort of uniform when i wasn't a scantily clad dancer at a party. Yes! From one extreme to the other.

I didn't get any snapshots of us Sunday due to the lag problems, but my GF Tiana Meriman and I went to a sim and did some fancy flying. After some solo flying, we had a ride together in my executive helicopter and did a little roleplay as a TV reporter helicopter crew. We were Newschopper 5 reporterettes! My face hurt from laughing so hard in RL.

And Tiana was an excellent driver in my Dominus Shadow. I think she still has my keys.

Night at the Museum

Tiana and I got together Monday evening to watch the movie "Night at the Museum"

We got comfortable on the couch and proceeded with the film. Something about a guy....at a museum....some stuff happens....um....tiny cowboys....tiny Roman soldiers....and um....Teddy Roosevelt...so yeah....

I'll really need to watch it again when she's not around.

Tiana wakes up earlier than I do, so she posted about this first. I'll just add a few notes....

We will not have a wedding as we feel a partnership and display of our names on each others profiles says it all. Instead, Tiana and I have decided to have a party in celebration. We'll work out the details soon.

Although many have come close, Tiana has captured my heart like no other. She is the most wonderful girl I've ever met in SL. Talented, creative, loving, giving, and patient with her busy girlfriend. I've been very happy to know Tiana since the day we first met inworld and we would both be delighted if our friends could share in celebration with a dance party/rave.

My old rental house is already gone....

Perhaps I was too emotional this weekend. My time with Tiana, the happiness I felt being with her and a few of my friends like DW, dinee, Myg and JB, the joys of being a land owner and decorating. Shopping! Dances with friends in Caledon and Grand Opening with new friends in Antiquity.

All great stuff.

But I was sad to see this...My little New England Cottage is gone. Some of you were present during the first 2 blogger parties I hosted. That house is no more. In fact all the cottages are gone, replaced by the lower prim post-modern boxes like the one pictured here. Ah well...prim counts rule don't they?

Quality Time and Societal Norms

My schedule is very busy with all the 19th Century sims I cover in my various blogs, and sometimes I don't have a chance to spend time with friends or have a romance. Tiana is both my good friend and....well....much more than that. I can say we've developed SL love and are exploring a relationship. Although we have plenty of friends and acquaintances, SL relationships are still quite new to both of us. And to be honest, I am a bit apprehensive seeing another woman while I spend my days in the 19th Century. I fear being an outcast at times. Perhaps I'm feeling a little of what 19th Century women must have felt in regard to their forbidden love - counter to societal norms.

All that said, I was pleased that we were able to have some quality time together throughout the weekend, and my time with Tiana was the most romantic experiences I've had yet in SL.

My sweetheart , Tiana Meriman... to my rescue

I had previously made the embarrassing error of "taking" an entire section of my lighthouse whilst attempting to remove an invisible prim from my land. Ack! I never did get the alignment correct after that. I called on my sweet lady and architect/builder Tiana Meriman, who promptly fixed that issue as well as a window problem. Here we flirt in IM following repairs.

With Tiana in mind, I purchased a new item for The Connolly Lighthouse Cafe area. I bought a new romantic dinner table and chair set and can't wait to try it with her. It will also be available for my fellow Regency residents as well as the rest of Caledon to enjoy with your own sweetheart. I'll be mixing and matching items, so please let me know what items you favour and I shall concentrate on what is most enjoyed by my fellow citizens.

I'm also looking for nautical themed photographs and paintings to use in the lighthouse, If you know of a place that sells such items, please let me know.
