thoughts, that started as a revision to a private message, then realized its rather global, rather than a reply to just that one private message... basically, how life is for ama lately
I have been up and down, which is kind of normal for me. I get frustrated with myself, with life, -- and then I fall asleep, and don't remember what I was thinking when I wake up, because I've dreamt several dreams in between. I get frustrated by that, I get inspired, but I don't feel like I create as much as I used to, or as meaningful work as I used to.
I discovered Second Life in the spring and am kind of captivated by it- but wary at same time. The thought of 'can make money!' -- except that everyone is trying to make money from it, and I haven't been able to find much solid information on how much people tend to put into trying to promote themselves, their work, in-world, versus the amount they make. Not to mention fees to own land, buy land... It is fun to run around in, but without an income, daunting to try to convince others in my life that it is not a waste of time entirely. That everything isn't just a waste of time, really.
[Basically, the root of everything is that I think too much about everything, consider the angles too much, and don't have the funds to just rush blindly into things that would make me happy for a bit]
Started playing with screen recording last week - there was a race in zOMG from Bass'ken to the whirpool in Gold Beach. I lost, but had fun trying to figure out setting up hypercam as well as participating. From there, got Camtasia to try out, and was messing around in Second Life just creating camera movement and prettiness.
Organizing my inventory on Gaia, sending it all to an alt, to try to sift through things - got tired of clutter when I went to change outfits.
