The Smell of Nostalgia…

Aren’t they lyrics?  I think so, but i’m buggered if I can remember to what?!

Anyway, i’ve been looking at the SLURL thinger site today, and visiting old places I used to live, and was thinking back along the line of my SLife (will I be sued now? TRY IT, PALS!).

It all started with no land, I just used to camp out at Club Divine, a club thats now loooooooooooong gone, and most of the people that used to frequent it too, sadly.  It really was the BEST club i’ve ever been too, perhaps cos it was a bit like Cheers where everbody knew your name, and they were always glad you came, and I made a bunch of fantastic, and uber close friends.  It was pink, and shiny, and blingy and well… it was in ‘04, so pretty noobish, but it’s a place that will always have a place in my heart.

I then moved onto my first land in Kolumekoaococoshack or WTFEVER the sim is called, it was a 512 plot that I managed to cram a gorgeous freebie house into, put my mark on it and OH MY GOD, it was so fun!!!! We partied non stop, and once I had over 40 ppl on that 512 parcel for a party!! *sigh* I miss that house, it may have been noobish, but it *was* home.

From there I moved to Maui, where I purchased over half the sim, over a space of several months before I decided to sell.  Man, that land saw some fun!  We had a liner parked in the bay, we built a club on a mountain top and held stupidly insane theme nights, and I had the best house EVER made as a freebie by Jonquille Noir and I loved it with *all* my heart, I dunno why I sold in the end, I really don’t!

After the regret of selling up, I got me a sim.   I can honestly say that Slootsville, as much as it rocked, never really did feel like *home*, perhaps because of the mall, perhaps cos of the constant bickering of it’s inhabitants (not everyones friends get along, right? :P)  But it was a heap of fun, from the fun in the Dojo, to Whoopy’s Bar and the partys we held there, to the Christmas Tree Joshwa made us and the lil park we had with all our homes looking over it.

I had to sell, in the end.  I couldn’t justify having a sim and not making an income on SL to support it, another move I deeply regret HO HUM!

From Slootsville, I shared land with my partner at the time, several different pieces of land, until eventually I realised he was a turdburglar (I kid, if you’re reading, honest!)… ok until eventually I moved and hijacked the sky in Canimal for just a skybox, and I now spend my time in there, and hijacking Arber’s land too, dependant on lag and small green aliens putting sofas up in my skybox (it happens, oh it happens).

I can honestly say, I’d love a home in SL, but i’m happy with my humble lil skybox, nothing has ever felt as homelike as my first plot of land, where I had neighbours and the chat range forced us to talk :P, or Maui, where it was just constant fun on a stick!

So there, nostalgic.. I am!

I leave the ramble, if you’ve read it, with a question to you all:

Do you remember your roots and look back on them fondly, and with a lil regret that you had to move past them?

(and a STUPIDLY old pic of me I dug out from Snapzilla! don’t hate cos i’m on THE ROCK’S lap :P)
