Crossroads continued

So from my last blog you all learned how I ended up working at Hooters and a bit about my interactions on SL. Now here is a bit more about me and SL.

With my wanderings around lately and trying to figure out where my crossroads are taking me I've done a lot of thinking and talking to some good friends both old and new trying to decide what I want to do. I've kinda realized in SL as in RL I am a people person and really enjoy interacting with people, so I think I will continue with it. During the past week or so, I have gotten some huge compliments from various people which has definitely helped alot. I tend to be a little too hard on myself sometimes, I am my own worst critic and tend to get down on myself. Something that we are all guilty of from time to time. I also find myself wanting to help friends in need, maybe sometimes too much.

Anyways, back to the compliments I have received, they have really a lot to give my confidence a kick in the ass and it does help a little bit to boost my ego (lmao me with a ego, those that know me thats far from true). But it has helped me to realize that I think I belong in the SL public eye and being out there to entertain Avi's and their RL conterparts.

For a while I have contemplated quitting Hooters, heck I've even contemplated quitting SL all together. But, the compliments I have received along with a few changes have changed my mind on that for now. I am looking forward to the changes and having fun again there. My second job in SL is as a Host at Rumours Club, which has gone through a move to a bright new sim (which is awesome BTW). I truly enjoy working there, its a blast with great people that visit and staff to work with. And I have also received huge compliments there as well.

I am currently contemplating taking a drastic step though and picking up DJing in SL. It has been something I have been thinking about for a while now and it may be something just to dive right into and take a chance with. A few people have told me I have a good voice for it, Im not fully convinced lol but, I am thinking it may be worth a shot. But, hey what do I have to lose, might as well give it a shot. Another thing I have thought about doing is continuing with stripping and working for a "ladies only" club, which I think may be interesting.

So, that is a tid bit of what has been filling my thoughts lately along with many other things, but those may or may not be shared at another time lol.

This has been more thoughts of a Vyper, I am your host Marcus signing out for now.

Crossroads

My first blog lol

So, after being in SL for 10 months now, Ive decided to take up blogging. Don't know how often I will blog, but here I am.

A little about me and my SL journey so far, I rejoined SL back in June of 2009, I had an old login a couple years back, but never really got into, so I left. One day I just decided I would up and rejoin. Created my Avatar and ventured into world. It wasn't long before I made some friends and started exploring the world. I soon found myself in a strip club called "Hooters & Shooters". I quickly made new friends here and started becoming a regular. I would rush home after RL work and make my way to Hooters to hang out with my new friends, then after the night's event I would explore what else SL had to offer, with friends occasionally, but mostly by myself.

After a couple of months, I met the requirements, got myself a "new skin, shape and AO" with help from friends and I put my application in to be a dancer at Hooters. I was nervous, but got my chance in way of an Interview. It was a Friday night after the late event, I was nervous. I got into the club and it was time for the interview before I knew it. First, came the questions, which were tough, so I came up with the best answers I could think of. Then, came the "try-out", a simulated event run by the Admin staff, they threw all sorts of weird and odd situations at us (me and 2 other applicants). I made my way through and did the best I could think of. After our simulated event and a few words from the Admins, I was hired. Here I was with a new tag "H&S Dancer". With a night to think of how it would be being a "dancer/stripper" I was excited and nervous. Saturday night comes and it's time for the first event, the call for dancers goes out and excited to start I answered it. But, adding to my nervousness there is only one other reponse from the dancers. The event starts and Im nervous and excited all at the same time, I get my first tip and it's "showtime". I rush through my typing and come up with my "emote" and low and behold it's a good one, YAY! The rest of the event goes very well, with generous tips from the VIP's being encouraged by the DJ to get me, the "new guy" naked and well before the end of the event, I was naked, WOOT! What a fun and exciting night, my nerves have eased and Ive had a great time.

That was 8 months ago now that I first started dancing. Since then I have now become a host at another club and really enjoy that as well.

Over this time I have also found myself going through 2 serious relationships, both ladies I am still very good friends with and frequently turn to them when I need a good friend to talk to. Ive made some really good friends on SL that I don't know what I would do without, they are always there when I need a smile or some advice.

Now, I am finding myself at a crossroads in SL so to speak. I just recently split from my 2nd partner. I am no longer sure if I want to be a dancer any more. Part of me wants more from SL, but I am not sure what. I dont know much about building or scripts. Ive always just worked with people. So, I find myself torn with what to do with myself.

Time to take it easy I guess, enjoy what SL has to offer and see where it takes me....
