Categorizing My Life Through Blogs

I've come to realize that I've been categorizing my life based on my blogs. That is, I write certain things in one blog and not another. I currently have three blogs. Two are on Blogger - one for my daily life, the other for school (this one), and the last one on LiveJournal for the writer in me.

The daily life blog is a picture blog full of photos of myself, my family, and my friends. From time to time I scribble inanities or musings in there. It's quite pitiful because no one ever leaves a comment. However, my friends do read it I believe.

The school blog is full of assignments. The sort of cheem (or profound) sounding stuff you'll find a stupid kid writing in a desperate attempt to impress. In fact, I've got a friend who has been counting the number of "insofar"s I've used in my assignments. I apparently introduced him to the word.

The LJ writing blog is great for blogging about my writing exploits. It's a great community. Definitely more lively and interactive than Blogger in my opinion. People drop comments freely and are more than happy to share their thoughts with you or give you assistance.

Perhaps it's the neat-organizational-freak in me that's acting out through my blogging. It's telling me that everything in life has to be categorized or compartmentalized. That it's neater this way.

Or perhaps it's me showing different sides of myself. The fun-loving side, the academic side, and the writer side. There's a difference between the last two by the way, writing is my passion and hobby - it isn't as much of a chore as assignments are. Although I have to admit that it seems like a monumental task when I'm faced with writer's block.

Well, now that I'm done ranting, I'll go post this on all my other blogs. A first!

Qn: Do you find yourself doing what I'm doing? Blogging in different blogs to show your different circle of friends the different sides of you?

QotW10: One of My (Second) Life's Greatest Failures

Orientation Island: Appearance Castle

I have to say that Second Life (SL) is fun if you know your way around. Sadly, I'm a non-computer game freak. In other words, I'm a computer game idiot. As much as I enjoy escapism into a virtual or make-believe world, SL just isn't my cup of tea.

I did have fun choosing my avatar though. For easy identification I created Felsong Anatine. Felsong for me and Anatine because it was one of the first few names on the list that sounded pretty. As I was unable to graduate from Orientation Island, one of my life's greatest failures, I took my time making my avatar pretty instead.

For starters, I tried to make her look like me. Bangs for my recently acquired fringe, rather long hair, and perky boobs! I was tickled pink by the instant breast enlargement and shaping that SL provided. Instant lipsuction treatments for trouble spots like thighs as well! It's little wonder that I've only been seeing hot girls and guys around. I chose a fuchsia top with belled sleeves because that's one of my favorite colors and the sleeves gave it a vintage feel (all the rage right now, I think). Did a bit of layering with the white tank underneath (something that's difficult to do in hot and humid Singapore), and threw on a pair of jeans and black boots for good measure.

I met two guys who happened to choose the same avatar, bumbling around Orientation Island as well. One was from Tokyo, the other from the Philippines. I called them the identical twins. Both were equally hot, and equally clueless as I about SL. Which goes to show that good-looking people aren't exactly very smart. Haha. Tokyo guy asked me about getting around, so I tried to help him as best as I could then said goodbye.

I quite enjoyed flying around though. It gave me a feeling of freedom. Like a bird, if you will. I finally took a snapshot of my avatar sitting in a throne-like chair in the Appearance Castle. Partly because the 'throne' was put there for that very purpose, and partly because I like fantasy-ish stuff.

I do hope to immerse myself in SL again so long as the service improves here in Singapore and my computer doesn't crash every five minutes.
