My Interests
Learning and Development, corporate training, higher education, instructional technology, virtual worlds, serious games, quilting and crafting, cosplay, scifi and fantasy cons, renfaires, books, movies, music, theater, horses. It's bloody ridiculous. I wish I didn't require sleep and that I had the same energy I did in my 20s.
I'm Looking For
What are we all looking for? Fun, friendship, maybe some romance, a GREAT dance partner, making a difference, acceptance, joy, peace....what else is there? Let's have fun and change the world!
Favorite Quote
If the Apocalypse comes, beep me.
Music I Like
It's far easier to say the music I don't like. And atm, I cannot think of any.
Films I Like
Scifi, fantasy, action - most things that have explosions in the first 10 min, as long as they aren't complete trash.
Oh...wait, I do love me some complete trash - extremely low budget indies, I mean LOW BUDGET! Sharks of the Corn, House Shark, Cat III cinema (new to me and utterly horrible fun), love old classic Hammer films, Roger Corman, and the like. There are very few documentaries I like...I watch movies for fun and escapism. I prefer movies in English, but if it is super awesome, subtitles will work. There are a very few chick flicks I enjoy - a fewof my faves: Under the Tuscan Sun, Pride and Prejudice (Knightly and Macfayden), Austenland. OH...did I mention spaghetti Westerns, some classic Westerns, and some modern Westerns (if they are done in that classic style).

Books I Like
Again, it's ridiculous. First of all, FICTION!!!! I watch media, go to theater, and read to ESCAPE! I cut my teeth on Bradbury, Asimov, Tolkien, Lewis, and Keene (Nancy Drew, yup, I admit it!) One of my favorite series of all times is The Julian May's Saga of Pliocene Exile (kind of the cross between scifi and fantasy). So, scifi, fantasy, thrillers, some horror (King, Barker, and similar). My very favorite Barker book of all-time is Imajica, and my very favorite hardcore scifi series of all time are Asimov's Foundation Series, Daneel Olivaw Robot Series, and the intersection of those series; and Mary Doria Russell's two-book series starting with The Sparrow. I am not a big romance fan, but I have enjoyed some where it crosses over with scifi and fantasy. I listen to books now - not a big reader anymore. This way, I can listen while I work.
My Heroes
hmmmm - I am unsure. Maybe Samantha Jones on Sex and the City? Or maybe she is more of a Patronus.

6 pm grid time
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Paradise Lost
Break out your tie dye, crochet halter tops, faded bell bottoms, and prepare for a night of psychedelic fantasy! If you ever wished you could go to Woodstock, but missed the window, here's your chance! In this magical desert region, dig the groovy vibes; check in & drop out; make love, not war. Most of all, leave it on the Playa!
DJ Xenon Darrow will guide you on this epic journey of music through the sounds of Woodstock and the epic rock of the late 60s and early 70s.
The Playa would be the beautiful fantasy love child of Woodstock, Burning Man and Tomorrowland with some Electric Forest Festival thrown in! Expansive, larger than life, psychedelic!

Before me there was naught created, save
eternal things, and I eternal last;
all hope abandon, ye that enter here!
...And he to me, like one aware, replied:
“All fearfulness must here be left behind;
all forms of cowardice must here be dead.
We ’ve reached the place where, as I said to thee,
thou ’lt see the sad folk who have lost the Good
which is the object of the intellect.”
Then, after he had placed his hand in mine
with cheerful face, whence I was comforted,
he led me in among the hidden things.
-- Dante Alighieri

In sleep he sang to me, In dreams he came,
That voice which calls to me, And speaks my name.
And do I dream again?

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space...

Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark...

From darkness did all hunger come,
With passion did all hunger feed,
And so, all passion stems from a darkness...

But life is for learning

The next morning, I left my room at the break of dawn, shook as I was by what I had seen in the red dusk the day before. As I was heading back the way I came. I noticed a sign that I somehow missed. Perhaps there are lighter times that way?

Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery

Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?"

I found some...but are these people I want to know? There was something....not quite right...

Wolf MountainLove me some WT! Wolf Mountain is gorgeous, but the entire grid is exceptional! The tech and tech development is incomparable! Nowhere else can you get a real 1.2 M prim usage on your region AND IT IS REAL! Super great community! I cannot say enough good things!
Zweet ZurroundingZJust a gorgeous gem! Beautiful to explore, and all the goodies are offered in the shop! I plan on coming back for inspirations! The caves are a real treat! (I love caves LOL)
EUROPAAll of the Europa regions are true works of art. Jimmy has once again surpassed all the standards for a stunning and interactive space and experience! There is so much to do and see! And the MAGA BAGA trains are crossing sims again!! Thx Jimmy!
WizardryCyberglo has done so many generous things for the HG. He provides this wonderful place with tons of very cool freebies. I wanted to jump on and share that I was privileged to take a scripting class from him. Tonight, because of that class, I was able to locate, edit, and use a simple script! You RULE, Cyber!!!
LIGHT and SOUND MUSEUMAnother ridiculously amazing place and series of products provided by the illustrious, generous, and megatalented Jimmy Olsen! I have used many of these things for interesting and odd projects! I plan on utilizing this far more in the near future for rl projects for a university of architecture and landscape architecture to demonstrate proof of concept. Thank you, Jimmy, for all you do!
3D MUSEUMAs all things Jimmy Olsen, this place and these products are amazing! Jimmy's talent is only matched by his humor and generosity. Definitely a place I have underutilized! Expect that to CHANGE!
