Current mood: tired

I managed to finish the website updates for Bedroom Bondage and American Damsels, so now I’m coasting again.

Thought I would talk about what I do late at night in Second Life.

Second Life is one of those chat worlds where you have a character of your own, which you use to move around and interact in a 3D environment. Basically these “virtual worlds” are pretty much like if you had a live cartoon running, and you were operating one of the cartoon characters, and other people were operating the other cartoons, and you were spontaneously creating a cartoon movie as it went along.

What I’ve been doing there lately is, some friends joined up with me and we got some virtual land, and we built a bondage ponygirl ranch. My two friends are ponygirl characters most of the time so they like the ranch stuff, and we all like fooling around with the bondage equipment. We have wooden bondage wheels, suspension frames, steel cages, wood cages, etc. For some reason we don’t have an X-cross yet, which to me seems pretty odd since every bondage place in Second Life does. Guess I’ll have to fix that.

Late at night I hang out at the bondage ranch and chat with strangers who show up to the place. I ran a little ‘virtual ad’ so that people can find where we are. Most of the time I’m dressed up like a big bunny lady, but sometimes I’m human (hippie, mostly). And recently I bought a pony body so that I can occasionally take a little run around the track. Around 11pm Jon comes in to see how I’m feeling and keep me company. I’ve dressed his character up variously as a police rabbit, a gorilla, and The Crooked Claw.

I’m sure it all sounds very silly — well, indeed it is. That’s why I find this stuff such a pleasant distraction. :)

When I had to take the chat pages off my websites :( I put up an ad for SecondLife in its place… so here’s info… and when you get there just send me a message, I can send you some stuff http://gagtalk.com/chat/

I tried Second Life earlier this year (or last year, maybe) after your mentioned it on Bedroom Bondage. However, the video card in this rig leaves somethign to be desired and I couldn’t get the world to load smoothly no matter how low I set detail and frame rates.

Oh, well, it looks like hours of fun exploring other peoples’ houses and domains. I learned to love MMORPGs after I got over my suspicion of them; I played Asheron’s Call for about a year.

But I found when I met my bondage-liking girlfriend about four and half years ago, I suddenly found I just didn’t have the time (or really the interest) for pretending to be a monster-slaying warrior any more.

Kinky: Constantly adjusting your SL avatar so that the bondage gear in the game fits better.

See you at the ranch.

OMG lol, so true. I prefer to be 5′2″ in SecondLife, but all the bondage equipment seems to be sized for amazon women. So yeah, sometimes I wind up re-setting my height to 5′10″ just so that I can fit the bondage wheel, etc. :)
