More Fun DJing Than Normal

There are lots of things I love to do in SL. Create stuff (build), shop, visit, socialize, explore (some people are highly creative), party, race, fly, and so much more. But lately I have been enjoying this DJing aspect of Second Life. It is fun and it's always a party but I can see where it would be easy to get stuck in a rut. On a typical night where I have to DJ, I arrive inworld one hour early to setup a playlist. Lately, I have been able to setup a 2 hour playlist in as little as 40 or 45 minutes, but I don't count on it. Then I arrive 15 minutes early to the events location to setup. I logon to whatever tip mechanism the location has, set my dance animations, don whatever sort of clothing is required for the event, switch the parcel's stream to mine and party for 2 hours. As much as I enjoy DJing, I need to also keep in mind that there are plenty of other things to do in SL.

So I logged on last night with one purpose in mind, finding the creator of Dylan's Jet Bike so that I may beat or tie her lap times on my racetrack. The best I could do with one of my fastest cars was a 15.5 second lap. Hers was in the lower 14 second range. But when I arrived inworld, the Instant Messages started coming in and it seemed accomplishing my sole task for the evening was going to be out of reach.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all complaining, just stating that I will probably not be able to do what I set out to do. I was receiving IMs from the portrait photographer of mine, my SL son Loki, starie, kaz, shane and others. I got with starie to check out some demo hairpieces she got. She showed me a dozen or so but it came down to the final one which was the best. As the IMs tapered off, I told starie she was coming with me to find a jet bike. All I had was a name and a landmark to the sim. I go to this place regularly but never to shop before. The creator of the jet bike did not appear to have a shop there at the mall, but I knew there were other shops up the numerous roadways there. So I teleported starie in, sat her on my Harley and took off riding. I stopped at a few shops on the way but none of them bore the creator's name. Her name was tudy. Not a very common name. And I would stop at these shops along the way and check the creator's names on the vendors. We still had a long way to go and starie seemed to be enjoying the ride when suddenly, my radar picked up a name, tudy! I had to turn around and ride back. I could not believe my luck! As it turned out, she did not have a shop at that sim anymore. She had one on her own parcel of land. So she gave me the landmark and we all (a guy friend of hers) tp'd over there and found the latest version of her jet bike. Still can't believe my luck, just running into her like that. We talked about the bike's capabilities and then starie and I left for my track to try it out. She had to go and hostess an event so that worked out. The jet bike would turn very abruptly, which would explain why Dylan was able to drive it faster than any of my cars would go. I posted some very fast laps which were close to her time, but became distracted with IMs again so I just parked the bike. I will beat her time eventually.

Dylan before she broke my track record.

So kaz popped in to visit and she and I decided to go and have some fun. She first asked if cat was going to logon tonight. My answer always is that cat will try against all odds to be online in the evenings with me and because of that and some other good reasons, I will drop whatever/whomever I'm doing and go to her. Nobody tries so hard against so much to be with me and I greatly appreciate that fact. So we went to the sex/orgy skybox on our parcel and started having some exciting fun with cat's new Slut Barrel. It's sort of a trap and designed for two guys and one victim but we made due with just the two of us. Shortly after starting that, cat logged on. I told her who I was doing but went to her anyway. She made some humorous comments about my male organ being kind of shiny, but that's about as far as the discussion went. I had kaz join us down at the house and we both dressed. cat's privacy was only a bit compromising so we decided not to get to erotic. Still, I can't help but wonder how she felt, logging on to spend time with me and I'm out doing kaz, but kaz is a very close friend. Still, sounds like a topic for later discussion to me.

So we decided to all three of us to go up to the club and play a few rounds of Greedy Greedy. It was a couple of wonderful games! I did not do very well at all during the first game. I was quite distracted. But I held my own in the second game. I didn't win but I did okay. Then both women were pulled away due to first life so I hung out and went over my inventory. Upon their return, we did the Sandwich Dance for a while. That too was distracting but in a very wonderful way. Then I asked my SL daughter Neva to come and check out some demo hairpieces I picked up. I'm not sure why I have been shopping for new hair except for the fact that I trust Neva's taste and at some point a while back, she started showing me some hair shops. I have had my current pulled back hair for at least a year now, probably longer and it just seems to be "me" but I am not against change, so long as it is for the better. So we narrowed down the hair demos I have to one or two but Neva found me some new landmarks for other hair places that an alternate family brother of hers had. I'll try and check those out tomorrow.

Then Whisper showed up with her new man Fabio. Introductions all around then Neva had to take off and so did cat and kaz. Whisper and Fabio ended up going out to Sweetheart's Jazz place. So the entire night reminded me that there is a lot more to SL than just DJing parties. I think I'll get back into creating things. I think I want to work on making cars or something. We'll see.
