A New Addition to the Verrazzano Family

A New Addition

~~~

Welcoming

Shadow Verrazzano

   Throughout my life, I have always had pets.  So naturally having pets in Second Life was going to happen.  My SL Pet family started with Bunnies.  I adopted Fred, then shortly adopted Wilma.  Later,  Wrigley was added to the family..although she doesn't live with me anymore (she is Pat's)...My love for her is still great.  Additionally, Domo was added into the bunch.  Domo belongs to my good friend, Elana Hyun,  but resides with the other bunnies.

   So, now....Scarlotland has a new addition.   Shadow was given to me via a Plurk friend, Dakota Buck.  She was birthed at Fotoscope Island, while visiting my guy, Korgi.  She is a lovely gray color, thus the reason I named her Shadow.  She meows sooo cute!!  Shadow is also the name of my very first cat in RL.  Shadow was a very special cat to me, just like I know this one will be.

   Korgi and I went shopping right away to purchase food, and a bed for Shadow.  She has what she needs now to be comfortable in her new home.  I brought her home to Scarlotland, where she can bond with the bunnies.  Now...we are one BIG family!! :)

A Day in the Office...

 

Recently, I was asked to help a friend in his rather prestigious Law Office.  He was rather behind in copying Office Manuals that he needed for the office meeting the very next day.  As instructed,  I arrived at the office just before closing time.  My friend figured I could work on the project alone without interruption while he went to a business dinner.  On his way home he would come back to lock up. This would allow me a few hours to complete the manuals.

Working in the office after hours was kinda nice.  It was quiet so I turned on the radio, took off my jacket and went to work.  My friend had recently bragged to me about this top-of-the-line copier he had just purchased, so it was nice to get to use it.  He told me that is was super fast and produced the best copies.  In like no time I had the manuals copied, and put together.  Waiting was never my strong point, I started to let my mind wonder.  Hmmm..would it?..should I?...why not??  Have you ever thought about doing something that is so out of character for yourself?  Well...this was sooo out of character for me, but I've seen it done in the movies so why not, right?  It was NOW OR NEVER... so I hopped onto the copier. 

I made sure I was lined up properly...giggles...Can't believe I am doing this!!!  This is soo out of my character but I do need to live a little!!  All I kept wondering was... How many Secretaries actually do this?  I would imagine they must do this at least once in their career lifetime, right?  Regardless...NO turning back now.

I was really starting to get into this, that the next thing I knew...my skirt was off!!  It felt rather good to take a walk on the WILD side for a change.  Laughing...I thought no one is going to believe this!!  Thank Goodness I chose to wear my pretty red panties today!

Time started to fly by.  Looking at the clock I knew that I was cutting it short but I wanted one last shot..I then quickly jumped off and hit the start button.  After about a minute or two, the copier was still copying.  I wondered what that was about, then looked at the machine.  OH NO!!  I must've hit the zero button a couple of time while hopping on or off the machine because it was making a 100 copies of each pose!!! 

Copies were shooting out everywhere!!  I started having a panic attack...what if my friend walked in??  I was pacing back and forth, looking at the copier.  How do you stop this thing from printing???  Just then I heard the ping of the elevator doors...OMG!! What's a girl to do??

Witchy Woman

~~~~~~

Raven hair, and ruby lips

Sparks fly from her fingertips

Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

~~~

Ooh-hoo witchy woman

See how high she flies

Ooh-hoo witchy woman

She got the moon in her eyes

~~~

She held me spellbound in the night

Dancing shadows, firelight

Crazy laughter in another room

And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

~~~

Ooh-hoo witchy woman

See how high she flies

Ooh-hoo witchy woman

She got the moon in her eyes

~~~

I know you want to love her

Let me tell you, my brother

She's been sleeping in the devil's bed

And there's some rumors going 'round,

That someone's under ground

She can lock you in the night

Til your skin turns red

~~~

Ooh-hoo witchy woman

See how high she flies

Ooh-hoo witchy woman

She got the moon in her eye

Pharmatopia

This is my life...Pharmacy. Although I am not an actual Pharmacist, I am the next best thing..I am a RL Pharmacy Technician. A friend of mine, Gospel Voom, had told me about a build he was working on...a build called Phamatopia. The Pharmatopia project brings together ten pharmacy schools from around the world with the aim to assess the use of virtual worlds in teaching.

As a Pharmacy technician, I had to visit. I was very impressed with the build, also impressed with the teachings. The first stop was actually a lab that had to do with IV medications. The lab had a test to see what you know about making an IV medication. The next stop was the tablet lab, where you actually have to put on a gown, glasses and hair net. You are instructed to compound a tablet, then you run a series of tests on them...one of them being a test for hardness. While I was there, I did a few of the labs, and sat in on a conference...which I never get to do in RL... hahaha

After working a shift...I had to get a snack out of a hospital vending machine (soo glad they had Pepsi). Then, I did a little socializing...I tried to strike up conversations with the men on the sim. I think they were Pharmacists...cuz they were a little stiff (like the Pharmacists I work with..j/k). Anyway...it was an interesting afternoon. If you work in Pharmacy...I think it is worth your while to go check it out...if your not, go check it out anyway and see what a great builder Gos is.

Here is your helicopter to Pharmatopia http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pharmatopia/125/125/22/

Friendship Day ~ August 1, 2010

"Every friend represents a world in us,

a world possibly not born until they arrive,

and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

~Anais Nin

Happy Friendship Day, Scarlotlanders!!!

In 1935, the United States Congress proclaimed the first Sunday of August as National Friendship Day. I first heard about it when I was in high school. We were able to buy our friends carnations and they would be delivered to them throughout the school day. It always made me feel really good to be able to see the smile on my friends face when they got one from me.

For as long as I can remember, my friends hold a special place in my heart. My Father died when I was young..and my Mother favored my Brother, so I clung to my friends for comfort. My friends became my family. They accepted me for the good, and the bad. Believe me, I am not the perfect friend. At times, I can be clingy (only cuz my family isn't)..I can be distant also (not believing I deserve friends)...but I do know..I always have time and an ear for my friends.

If you need me..I would drop almost anything (well not a baby though ..haha). I think I treat my friends how I want to be treated.

I want to take this time to say "Thank You" to those who have accepted me into their lives. I hope that I am the kind of friend that you need, and the kind that you want. I know that, at times, I may not be the easiest to get along with, but I do promise you that I will always be here for you, and I will always be true. You are precious to me!! I cherish you!!

Here are a few more friendship quotes that I feel should be shared today.

"It takes a long time to grow an old friend" ~John Leonard

"Friendship is like a perennial river which flows forever. It may change it's path but will never ever dry up." ~Pinaki Prasad Mohanty

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself." ~Unknown

"A Friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway!!!!" ~Unknown

On this note....Spread happiness...tell your friends that you love them!! To all my friends out there...and to the friends who I've yet to meet...I love you!! Thank you for being you!!! *MUAH*
