There was no plan. It’s not like I was looking at SL as an income thing. It was just for fun, but somewhere along the way, lines got crossed and the important-ness of things got blurred.
Btw, “beginning to sound like a victim”? What the hell are you talking about?
I WAS!

It’s become pretty clear to me that I won’t get an explanation. That these people were sorry saps who like to get a rise out of people. They got it, so congrats. I’m done with this mess. I’m moving on.

Let me get something straight here.

I didn’t spend the WHOLE year raging. Honestly.

It’s not like I think about it every time I log into SL. This is the one year mark of the entire event, so yeah. I have a little bit of a right to look back on it and be like, “Wtf?”
Oh, and believe me. It HAS been a lesson. Thanks, though.

Also coincidence and misunderstanding my nice round ass.

@ “Ugh move on already.”

Okay, I’ll move on when those people explain to me, why in god’s name I deserved to be slandered, betrayed, and stolen from?

@If you’re wasting your precious energy and time getting angsty about AVs (and the often nameless, faceless people behind them) more than you’re thinking about your real life, you need to walk away for a while . . . and let some REAL people stab you in the back for a change!

Okay. You have $300USD stolen from you, and you let me know how easy it is to walk away from, yeah?

I get it, real life is first and foremost. It doesn’t change the fact that I put trust into people, and then was backstabbed and stolen from. Yeah, yeah. It’s the internet, but did anyone ever stop to think that maybe they’re real feelings involved on both ends?

@ – @2 If they treated you that way you will probably wait a long time for an apology. Try to move on knowing that you are the better person.

Thanks. I try to keep that in mind, but it doesn’t make things any better.

@ 2. Don’t hold your breath. Move on with the belief that karma is real no matter how long it takes to go into effect.

I like to think karma is real, but, it’s been a year now. They’re all still living happy as clams. And I’m broke, struggling to make a profit off my rinky dink sales.

Anyways, this isn’t a boohoo, pity me, deal.
I’m human.
It’s been a year.
Can you please be the bigger person?
I just wanna know why…

I don’t emote giggles in SL (I tend to laugh or chuckle) but because I have that cute laugh in my head, I don’t mind when I see it in text.

BTW – teen grid folks can continue to giggle all they want IMO.

that , to me, sounds like a loss. Yes, it’s amazing to be together in RL. But not if u only talk once a week. Makes me wonder if the partner really likes him/ her… If she did, wouldn’t she find that she yearned to spend time with him even if it was just in SL. In addition to the RL stuff?

Sorry if I got the genders mixed up, none were stated

9. Riq reeks riq reeks riq reeks. Lawl

13. I love this.

11) The person in question could probably be taught how to proofread. I don’t think anyone could teach you to stop being a prick.

12) I have learned that *smiles* really means “Eat death, bitch.”

2# Sorry we were too slow, your poster has been removed.

3# Very kind to forgive but i wana know more about what and why this happened.

4# Give him a break. Maybe you changed your shape or skin so he probably doesnt like looking at you anymore, or he’s met a man.

5# Whats your point?

6# I like your attitude.

7# Just tell them, hardly a secret.

8# Cool. Very funny.

9# this i strongly agree with. I think in a few years time SL will be completely different to how it is now. there will be very little creative freedom.

2. Don’t hold your breath. Move on with the belief that karma is real no matter how long it takes to go into effect.

3. Hopefully that will be the end of it.

4. I think you need to work on your RL relationship and not worry about SL.

5. No more drama than any other subsection of SL. You’re not winning any drama-free awards.

6. Try reaching out to that person. The holidays are a good excuse. You may not become the best of friends again but a positive connection is better than a negative one.

9. That it does.

11. Are you buying signs? I used to work retail management at a major clothing store. You’d be surprised how often t-shirts would come in misspelled. The same with our competitors. It would get by several levels of production and wouldn’t be noticed until staff at a store noticed while unpacking. If you like the item buy them don’t knit pick about a sign.

#11 Too many commas for the lose.

I don’t know. I read things like No. 2 and even No. 4 and it makes me want to remind some people that real life should always come first.

If you’re wasting your precious energy and time getting angsty about AVs (and the often nameless, faceless people behind them) more than you’re thinking about your real life, you need to walk away for a while . . . and let some REAL people stab you in the back for a change!

As for No. 4, it’s a shining example of the good things SL can do for people. You said at the top that you’d give up your SL for your real partner, and TONS of people will disagree with me, but I think you should do it and find other ways to “feel closer.” You found real, true love! Now go out and frolic and roll around in it and put your hands all over your partner’s REAL body and build a beautiful thing together that doesn’t involve a computer.

As for No. 12, could I add *wink* to that list too?
