NO PRESSURE!!

Well didn’t I get one hell of a surprise to find myself listed among Suella’s “10 SL Blogs You Should Read“. And not only on the list, but at the top of the list! It’s a very exciting endorsement and my ego is very happy about it. But with that comes the other side of … Continue reading »

I don’t exist, and I’m OK with that.

My name is Mistletoe, and I’m an atheist elf. Why I’m an elf in SL is the shorter thing to explain, so I’ll do it first. Elves are cool. Elves age more slowly and don’t experience illness or pain, according to the stories. In my real life, I live with fibromyalgia and there are days … Continue reading »

“Have you been sick?”

How you know you’ve been out of touch too much or too long: someone asks you that. I like lots of the people I’ve met on OL. I love building there, too; I finally have the family manor-house I’ve always wanted, but never had the money and prim allowance to make in SL. Both RL … Continue reading »

Can you go back home again?

So I’m wondering if the time has come to put Mistletoe Creek on the back burner, before people start moving in and getting attached to it. I … Continue reading »

I have to admit it, there are a couple of things I miss. I mean, even more than I miss knitting and having more time chatting and building stuff. For one thing, I miss making food. Food and drink were something I started making in SL as a fun hobby, just to see if I … Continue reading »

The most read post of all?!

I’m coming up on 350 blog posts in this blog (that doesn’t count the Cat And Dog blog, Clover’s Kitchen, or any number of other blogs I keep). Most of what I write here (I like to think) includes Articles of Substance. Sure, I pop in the occasional one- or two-liner and call it a … Continue reading »

“How cna I to get teh moneyz?”

OK, so, you’re new to SL. Or, maybe, you’re not that new to SL anymore. Maybe you’re too old for money trees, maybe you’re too wise to the idea of camping (good for you! There’s hope for you yet!), maybe you’re too broke to buy your own Ls, or else want to get Ls without … Continue reading »

Ain’t That a Shame

When the 1920 Berlin Project was younger, I went for a visit. Let me preface by saying that I went for a visit as Mistletoe, a 5’11″ tall elf. I wore a dress from the early 30s–it was the closest I had–and not only did I get in no problem, I was given a personal … Continue reading »
