Dear Virtual Anorexic Fawn Slut
Dear Virtual Anorexic Fawn Slut,
I’m sorry your name is so long. If you were a male I would have just called you “Slut Rut” but since you appear to be a woman I’ll just call you “Estrus The Terrible”.
Estrus…Oh Estrus The Terrible…I was inspired by your look so much that I decided to write a poem about you. You’ve inspired me oh fawn lady of the night.
You have a great way of matching your pinks. Or I should say what little pink you’re actually wearing. (I could have made a sexual joke right about now but I’m refraining. I don’t want to get to the middle of a letter & discuss how you your “pink” is hanging out. It would just be in bad taste.) I can say that you’ve matched the skates nicely to the bow you’re calling a top. It works in a “Today I got dressed in a craft cupboard” kinda way.
I would like to ask you an important question. How exactly do the deer antlers & wings work out? Angel deer? Confused gal with a flying fetish? I mean you’re a girl with antlers yet you have no hoofs or tail. You have wings but you’re not a bird (and definitely not angelic) Maybe you’re a like a Pegasus. A fawnasus? Deerasus?
Deerasaurus rex? RAAARRR!
Don’t get me wrong. I’m still into the whole pink matching you’ve got going on. And I have to say you are hardcore with that tattoo. I’ve gotta give props to anyone as skinny as you that didn’t have issues with the needle going straight through you & into the chair you’re sitting on. You go girl. I have had a few people make such great comments as “It’s like she forgot to wear the skirt and just put the fringe on” to ” I think I got a sugary virtual STD just looking at this picture.” Now that’s just mean. I would have just slapped a pair of this thing we call panties on you, maybe taught you how to read, & crossed my fingers that you wouldn’t end up with a virtual baby before you hit the virtual age of three. But…that’s just me. I’m a helper like that.
All I can really say is that I hope you find more clothing to wear because a bow around your boobies will only get you so far. And honey…you don’t have to show so much to the world. You don’t come off sexy. You just come off looking like a dumb whore.
Sincerely,
“Tipsy” Cerulean
Musty Memories & Shadowbox Bullcrap
I’m back.
It’s not like I’ve gone anywhere. I did take a holiday break for real life stuff. But that’s not the point.
I’m back.
I am back because, after months of “playing nice” I have decided that I am no longer doing that. It’s not me. My nice goes into my other projects. The truth, no matter how harsh it is, will always come to rest at the SLA Review.
And on that note, let us get started shall we…
1. I’m tired of this passive aggressive trend many residents seem to have going on. I was going to say “lately” but it’s been festering for years. Everything from posts on various social websites saying they “hate” someone but they don’t want to mention names, to the websites where we hide behind “secrets” so that no one will know who said it. This bullshit needs to stop. If you got something to say then just fucking say it. I hate bloggers who bitch about how hard it is to list stores they bought their clothes at or how hard it was to take a picture of an avatar. See. Not that hard is it?
2. If you Photoshop a virtual world photo so hard-core that it doesn’t even remotely look like what everyday avatars see on their screens they you are an ass. If you made a fuzzy picture clear or cropped a photo then more power to you. Rock on! If you made your avatar look so insanely flawless that you have some dumbass lapping up your shit like it was candy because “Oh My God! They are so talented.” then you’re an ass. Art? Maybe. Trying to show others what the “world” looks like? Disillusioned bitches. Every one of you.
So, to all of you horrible photoshopping whores out there. To those that moan “OMG! It’s SO HARD to take a picture & put where I bought my crap!” can all go screw. You took a picture. Then you photoshopped it so horribly to the point where no one would know that it isn’t a realistic portrayal to what a Second Life actually looks like. You are, I am not so sorry to say, are the problems that virtual worlds face. You treat everything as if it was a virtual paper doll. Cut and fucking paste ao, new dress, shoes, whatever upon them. Tada. You are the faces of absolutely nothing & especially not all of us.
3. If you are trying to pull of the mean or “cranky” bullshit on your site remember to at least be a tad bit original. We get it. Your all hardcore over shit you see in our virtual world. You’ve had a “big thought” over the state of everything. Whatever. You just have an unoriginal thought & a catchy “mood”.
4. For fucks sake people…I’m sorry but fucking hell…stop your fucking shopping. In all honesty no one gives a crap if you look good or not. Behind your sweet looking sexy avatar you could look like pizza the hut. In all seriousness it isn’t even remotely important to people with half a brain. My opinion? Similar interests. Being able to hold a conversation above “Hey baby! Nice tits” or “Did you see the new shoes from (insert store/mall/L$ stealing money pit?” is more important than telling me or EVERYONE where to buy a new dress.
(Side Note: You want to stand out. So wouldn’t sharing where you bought a dress or sharing a dress that everyone else shares just make you a sheep?” baaaaaaaa….)
5. If you were one of the many people who I saw in various social media posts who took advantage of the free lindens/new resident drive then you are the
I’m tired of the image shit. I’m tired of writing where no one gives a fuck about what I say. I’m not going to be nice for the sake of being nice. I’m not going to pretty up photos because it takes away from what the hell we are actually looking it. And I’m not going to give a nice review because it makes people “Feel bad”. I will no longer make the first move when talking to people because 90 percent of my experience involves insane crazy people.
I am at a loss at what more you really want from me.
So why the fuck to I write? Because…I have always…sl or otherwise…written. I’ve written for so many things that I must have some sort of outlet for creativity. I cannot just go on sl, being the ignored hermit that I am, without a purpose. For about six years this has been my drive.
Gah.
I started out with a geocities website. I remember my first review. Really horrible rental review about a tiki hut that sucked. There was an issue with the front door where it would randomly open & close on its own. The owners couldn’t figure out who to fix it. So their answer was basically “Live with it”. Amazingly enough they are no longer around on the grid. Over a year later I had to move from Geocities to wordpress. With a computer crash I lost 2 years of reviews from my old site. Not a bad thing as they are no longer relevent to our time.
So what exactly was the point of this post? Just to vent a little bit of my frustration at the idiotic way people seem to act lately. To clarify that the SLA Review was never one to shy away from harsh truths. To say that projects are projects but the ways of this site are always the same.
Ahh…That felt good.
The bitch is back.
“Tipsy” Cerulean
To clarify I not only write the SLA Review but I also do podcasting among other things. They are completely two separate entities. One I do to help others. The SLA Review is where I write my views on everything Second Life. It is mine & mine alone. And it does not reflect any groups I am involved with or work that I do on my other site. From the good to the absolutely painful horrors people like to pass off as “sims”. I also make comments on other things people write about our wee little virtual world. It’s what I do.
Also…Bishop has offered his services for quick cast rants in the near future. Can’t wait.
SLA New Years Awards
It’s that time of the year again where I come up with awards for the best & worst (and everything in-between) for the past year on Second Life.
Happy New Year!
Biggest Announcement Followed By Silence: This award would have to go to LL announcing that Second Life would be on Steam. It was announced. People started making theories on how this would be a positive/negative thing for the virtual world. Then nothing but virtual radio silence. Hopefully the announcement wasn’t for nothing & we will see more of this in the future. Till then….
Biggest Disappointment: Ever thinking the fantasy pipe dream that things would start to work better. Yeah. I’m jaded.
Biggest Joke: This one has to go to rolling restarts. The cluster of sims I am located on has had more issues with LL breaking them after rolling restarts then should be possible. For the past, I don’t even know, so many months they have been restarted & restarted after a rolling restart has done its wave through. If you’re gonna do it then do it right. Not kinda right the 7th or 8th time restarting. In the same day one time would be nice.
Best New Feature: Umm….errr…uhhhh. Pathfinding? Ahhh HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Happiest Moment: Meeting some really, truly, wonderful new people in 2012. I have met more wonderful people in 2012 on SL this year then in any of my years combined.
Party!
Pet Peeve Of The Year: This usually goes to virtual pets. I’m giving them a shout out. Still think ya suck.
I would also like to give this award to those that don’t just photo shop your Second Life photos a little bit. I don’t mind that. I am giving it to those that photoshop so hardcore that it doesn’t even remotely look like anything that you would see in Second Life. Combine it with an article about SL & I just have to shake my head at how much of an ass you are.
Greatest Hatemail Of 2012: This has to go to a group of loyal sim patrons as well as the owners of a sim who started a petition towards me to pull an article I wrote giving them a bad review. Yes…a petition. I’m not exactly sure how a petition would make things go in your favor. It’s not like my site is some sort of democracy that has to honor a petition. It’s my site. In the famous words of some guy who said this a long while ago & no one remembers exactly who the hell he is..”Go Screw!”.
Stupidest Scam Of 2012: This one is a tie.
There is a bot that has been going around to various popular sims, starting up a conversation, then asking for money. I’ve been hit by it a few times. I also know a LOT of other residents who have been IM’d by this money hungry bot. If you’re stupid enough to fall for it then I just have to say that I am amazed you even know how to turn a computer on.
The next one has to go to those content stealing scam artists on marketplace. The ones who are stealing pictures from bloggers then passing them off as clothing/avatar/etc. items they are selling. With such a large community of photographers, bloggers, writers, & whatnot I am amazed you would think that no one would notice. Assholes.
What I Hope For In 2013: Well…I hope that SL gets a little bit on the positive everything this year. Bailing water out of a sinking ship only works so long. Sometimes you kinda need to fix the hole to make the boat better.
Arrrr! Now I be wanting to go sailing! Arrr!
Hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday & a Happy New Year.

Dime Store SLupidity
I’ve been staring at this couple for about an hour now. His lack of footwear. The fact that light would reflect off of her shiny little bald head & cause any unsuspecting virtual resident prim blindness. That’s when I came up with the name “Dime Store”. It’s not because I think that their clothes were grabbed from the 1L box at ” Noobies-R-Us”. I felt that the name that I had given them had a sort of cheap dime store novel approach. A prim-crossed love affair that broke down all sim barriers. The virtual barefoot farm boys looks charmed the hair right off of her. When their beady little eyes met they knew that they would forever be known as...Baldy & Big Foot.
It Wasn’t Looks That Brought These Two Together!
Baldy was a small avatar with massive side boob & an addiction to really horrible looking shoes. Big foot was about 10 feet tall in size & never wore shoes do to the size of his feet. Sadly enough he was unable to afford a male body part that matched his shoe size. Their love grew with each passing fashion disaster.
OK. Seriously. He has giant hobbit feet & she clearly looks extremely uncomfortable in latex.
I’m really not sure what they are going for. She would have had a chance had she not worn shoes from 2007 & a catsuit that looks as if someone didn’t fit correctly into it so it ripped. Now, being the nice person I am, I am willing to overlook the balding. This could be a statement of some sort. What I am not willing to overlook is the horrible outfit & shoes. I’m sorry but…come on!
Besides his hairy huge hobbit feet I get this whole “I own a chainsaw & I do know how to play the banjo” vibe. Not a nice Hee Haw vibes. I’m confused by his girly waist yet manly upper arm strength. His legs are basically the same size all the way down. I just want to grab him by the suspenders, snap them a few times, & shake my head in a “What were you thinking” manner.
What lesson have we learned here today? If you’re going to have hobbit feet them pair it with a bald chick in a body suit. It’s called “accessorizing” or some shit like that.

Pet My Peeve
Pet my peeve sounds a bit dirty. Awww yeah! I am putting on mood music to get you in the mood to read. Looking out for you baby. You know it.
That music REALLY makes me upset that I didn’t write about sex this week. (Makes a mental note for next week.)
We all have those weeks when our brains just say “Get another beer.” Wait…that’s not what we are talking about brain. Great thought but it’s not the correct one. We all get into a funk every so often where the only way to describe how we feel is “meh”.
Meh.
In the spirit of my lack of motivation & general all around pissy mood I thought it would be fun to write three random pet peeves of Second Life. Three little things that just annoy the crap out of me. Nothing super technical like “Why does the back of my house keep turning invisible” or “Group chat is still not working correctly! (DUH)”. Things that just get under my skin. They are in no particular order as, like I said before, meh.
1. The Dreaded Teleport Into Area Only To End Up In A Breedable Mall!
Yes..I Am Shaking My Fists At It….
We’ve all had this happen before. You are trying to find something that has nothing to do with breeding money hungry lumps of prims then BLAMO laggy pet city! This time around I was trying to find something for Mr. C. Cow (He was asking for a hay bed & a new toy.) when I was stuck in a never-ending lag loop of DOOM. As you can see from the picture above this was an annoying sight to see. Can’t…stand….it….
2. Just Because I’m Small Doesn’t Mean You Can Kick Me!
Watch Your Step Please!
I go around the grid as a tiny a lot. Sometimes while I am shopping I don’t change back into my biggie avatar. This is partly do to the fact that I am lazy & also don’t feel like changing back into my tiny again to go to events. Also I shouldn’t have to. With that said I am tired of being stepped on, kicked, or having houses rezzed on top of me. I’m not talking people who haven’t rezzed in all the way. I’m talking about people who can see their surroundings & actually know I am there. Especially the ones who walk over to stare at me, walk away, come back to stare, then try to kick me. I’m sorry but I am not a soccer ball. The virtual world is full of all sorts of avatars. My tiny avatar is bigger then a petite damn it so I know you can see me. We all have a right to not be bothered by stupid people. To not be kicked or harassed. Don’t make me put my human avatar on so I can kick your prim ass around the grid. Stop being a dick.
3. If You Ask If You Can Display My Profile Picture I Will Say No.
I will say no every single time. At every single place I go to. I hate that little pop up asking for permission. First of all…no. Second of all…does anyone actually walk over & look at the picture of the last person there? No? Good! It’s not just me! If you add a pop up for a landmark, a notecard, AND ask me to show my profile picture then I’m going to be a little ticked off. No one really likes a lot of crap popping up on their screen when they teleport someplace. I see it as the equivalent of going to a website without a pop up blocker on. It’s annoying. Stop it.
I know that everyone has little pet peeves about Second Life. Maybe you get annoyed by people who don’t wait for a store to rez before walking on everyone. I can’t stand the wolf yell gesture in clubs. We all have our own thing. What’s your big annoying virtual pet peeve?

Pixels Should Come With Warning Labels
There have been a lot of scary things I’ve seen in my time on Second Life. I’ve been through virtual armed home invasions. Massive amounts of penis images bouncing around a sim do to some griefer. I’ve seen it all.
Well….I thought I had seen it all until this little beauty walked into my life. With hips that would make an elephant cry to the way she does her nails in the style of a vulture she appeared into my life. Some people weep with joy over beauty. I weep because my eyeballs want to shrivel up & die at the sight of you.
Play Along At Home!
With a shape like a carving knife she’ll cut a bitch then use her talons to rip you to shreds to feed her spawn.
Let’s start with those talons…I mean…nails. Unless you are planing on hunting down your prey for dinner then I can’t really see a need to have giant sword like things attached to your fingers. If you tried to hug someone with those nails you would end up gutting them “Nightmare On Elm Street” style.
I see you matched the size & shape of your earrings to your bird talons. Good job!
Safety Tip: Wearing sharp knifes on your fingers never work out well unless you work in a butcher shop.
Your face is like a breath of putrid air wafting from a garbage dump on a warm summer night. Sorry…I felt poetic for a moment there. I am assuming that the nose piercing attached to a chain going to what I am assuming would be your ears. No mere mortals will never understand how you seem to have your piercings all connected. I mean…I have real life body piercings & these make me want to hit you with a newspaper & yell “Bad Hooker! No piercings for you!”.
I see you were hungry today & decided to chow down in a sucker in the most annoyingly gross way you could think of. If you were to do that in real life someone would have politely asked you to stop because you are disgusting. I am going to go WAY out on a limb here & guess that is not drool on your face. I’m sorry people. I don’t mean to gross you out but COME THE FUCK ON!! That is not drool coming out of her mouth. Look at it!!! Gahhh!!!!!! LOOOOOOOKKKK!!!!
I’m now calmly sipping on an really potent cocktail of boozes. I’m better now. I can carry on.
I mentioned in the above picture the fact that your guess is as good as mine when it comes to what’s between her GIAGANTIC breast-cles. Also notice that her arm is so hardcore morphed into those boobs that there is no hope of getting them out. Ever.
NO HOPE!
If you thought it couldn’t get any worse then you haven’t seen the back portion of this fine hunk of woman-ness. If you are prone to passing out over virtual asses, have a prim heart condition, or are easily offended (If you are then what the fuck are you doing here?) then viewer discretion is advised.
Always Remember To Read The Warning Labels On Stuff.
Jell…Ohhh hell no you didn’t just show your ass like that!!??!!
Bishop mentioned that this ass looked like a “Fucked up rubix cube”. I can kinda see the resemblance. I am extremely disappointed that I could not get video of this ass in action. Every time she would change poses it would jiggle. Not a little bit. Not a lot. I am talking an ocean of motion baby. It would bob so hardcore that I thought she was going to bruise her lower back because the cheeks would slap it so hard. I started to get a tad bit ill over the water bed motion of her ass. It makes you kinda sea sick after a while.
Yes. I see the shorts. I cannot fathom the physics that go into wearing pants like that. It’s like they are twisted up, half pulled on, & being eaten up all at the same time. I would LOVE to see a real life picture of someone wearing shorts like this. No…wait…I probably don’t want to see that.
This is so bad that our lil’ virtual world should consider pixelating the entire avatar.
Now let this be a sucker dripping ass jiggling example to you all. Common Sense + Some Sort Of Taste = Not Looking Like A Candy Muching Ass Whore.

Why You The Way You Are?
Taking a break from the reviews & places to visit over the weekend this week. Instead I’m looking inward. Part rant part insight.
A question I’ve been asked many times before is “Why you the way you are?”. I know it’s not proper English but picture it being said with a head cocked to one side in confusion. This question is right up there with “Can you tell me why you are just so damn weird?”, “Why do you drink?”, and “Why do you curse so much on your blog? I can answer the last two questions for you in three words.
I just do.
You Talking To Me Mr. Flamingo?
I’ve learned a lot on Second Life over the years. First & foremost that it is nobodies business what the hell I do. But besides that I’ve learned that sometimes you just don’t want to put up with the fuckered drama, the shopping, virtual sex, & the general boredom that Second Life brings you sometimes. Makes me irritated & bitchy.
I’ll first tackle the drama. I despise it & would rather be a hermit then be exposed to any of it in any it. I’ve seen my share of it & I won’t put up with it. You have a problem with someone then go bug someone else about it. If you feel like you need to bitch then bitch to your closest friend. Don’t bitch where the world has to listen to the crying ranting bullshit that is spewing out of your food hole. I have better things to do. One of which is participating in discussions with laid back drama free groups. When you drama rant you are a fool & not worth anyone’s though.
Never Leave Home Without Your Drama Protection Helmet!
As for the shopping it gets old so quickly. Do I really need to buy the newest dress constantly? Do I really need to have a new outfit every single day? I don’t really feel that I should constantly spend real money on virtual items when I could spend my money on real clothing & real things that I actually need. If my whole time was spent on Second Life just shopping then not only would that be extremely sad but I would end up missing out on the MANY other opportunities that virtual worlds bring us. So if my shoes are a bit old just know that they have walked through many prim museums & exhibits while others spend their time trying to match theirs to a skirt color.
Virtual sex? I can have real life sex. Oh yeah baby. Enough said.
I’ve found that by expanding myself out of being just my big avatar into many other forms (My bulldog or a dragon as an example) that I have been able to explore new areas of Second Life that would not be known to me had I decided to keep myself inside one box. I’ve had a light saber war with a tiny bear dressed as a Jedi. I’ve wandered through a forest filled with dragons. I’ve even chased a mini gingerbread man around the grid while wearing an apron & holding a spatula (This is a yearly Christmas thing. Long story.) I’ve been able to do a better job as a Second Life writer by being flexible in my avatar appearance as well as looking at the amazing creativity that comes out of our virtual world. My mood rather than what others think dictates what I am. I’ve seen more & done more instead of sticking to one ideal or topic. Why would I want to change?
There Be Dragons!
So why would I want to put up with the bullshit that bogs people down or spend my money constantly when there is so much more to be done. Just open up your search & see for yourselves.
You ask me why I am me when I should be asking you why do you hold yourself back?

Back To School: The Hubba Hubba Edition
Since I just wrote about real life schools as well as RPG schools in Second Life I thought it was only fair to give equal press to the sex schools.
Yes. I said “Sex Schools”.
This was a big “to-do” for me because I had to put my martini swilling big avatar chick on, throw on a pair of heels, virtually do my hair. Just so that you perverts could find places to have sex on desks & in cafeterias. I don’t do virtual sex but I know that many of you are into it. And a handful (hehe handful) of you dig the sex places in Second Life. Visiting so you know the “cool” places to go baby. You can never say I don’t suffer in the name of art.
Oh..I suffer….
Undercover Tipsy Is Undercover.
I want to start by pointing out that I am only adult places where you can “walk right in” without doing a screening process. Many well build “Sex Schools” ask you to become a member of their group, as well as fill out an application, to be able to enter their campus. They take their role-playing of a dirty school very seriously. If you are looking for more of a no-nonsense RPG atmosphere as opposed to the “Hey baby let’s fuck” then follow me to your SL homework.
I said homework.
Instead of just handing you a bunch of SLurls & saying “Have fun!” I am going to make you think. Get onto Second Life & use the keyword “School”. Make sure that you have your search so that you will get adult places. There are SO MANY that are just walk-in & enjoy that you will have no issue finding one. Make sure they aren’t ones that are trying to teach you how to be a slave or whatever. We are looking for ones that try to throw in role-playing sex in a school setting.
Now I will share with you a few observations that I have run into while visiting an insane amount of sex schools this week. After I go through my list I will be giving you a bit of Second Life Sex School Homework. There might even be a test.
A few things I have run into:
1. I saw a wooden barrel in a gymnasium. Why would you have a barrel in the middle of the floor, that just happens to have sex poses in it, in a gymnasium? Is it a sex rodeo prop? Will a circus clown & bull show up if I just wait around for a few?
2. Do we really need so many real life porn pictures covering the walls? Personally I think that less porn pictures being used as posters in an adult school would be nice. Maybe it’s just me but I wouldn’t mind seeing something that at least semi-pertains to a college/university/sex prison school. How about a few “sex ed” posters instead of so many “I’m so happy to suck your dick” pictures?
3. In a way the sex school feel is kinda fucking creepy. University or college I can deal with. Using the words “High School” when building something like that then throwing words like “Whore” in the mix is fucking creepy.
4. I would like to point out that schools are now built with sheet rock & not communist cinder blocks.
5. Do I REALLY need to buy a dildo in your hallway between classes? How about that thong with cum stains in the vendor by the door? I can understand that not everyone cums (hehe) prepared to these places but the least you can do is put them all in a room or something.
6. I had a friend who one had sex with an ice cream man to get free ice cream for an entire Summer. Weird I know but I have never seen a hooker standing next to one of my college classes asking me if I wanted a good time. Where am I going with this? I’m not exactly sure but I do hope the ice cream was worth it.
(6A. I have seen a hookers outside of bars & on street corners. Not next to a classroom door.)
7. Oh I “Get It”. You’re wearing a plaid skirt & knee highs. So is every real life stripper trying to pay her rent.
Your homework for this week is to see what you find when trolling the hallways of virtual sex schools? Do you find ones that aren’t too shabby? Are the ones you see as bad? Can you identify any of the things I’ve found at any of the places you have found?
Please leave your homework in the comments below. You will be graded. And if you piss this teacher off may hell fall upon thee in great waves of hurt & shit.
Good Luck!

Oh wait..I’m not done yet. I have EXTRA CREDIT for you this week. If you were to build your own virtual sex school how would you design it? What would you add? What would you take away?
My example:
If I was to build a sex college, which will not be happening, I would have a realistic build that was nicely put together for a campus feel. Decor that makes sense to the college learning so it gives you a feel for its purpose. Even hold “classes” to make the role-playing experience work. As for the sex I would try to make it as sneaky as possible. Give you the feeling that you are getting away with something naughty as well as the thrill of getting caught. I would make mine strict role-playing with a group where people would be able to get a title depending on what they wanted to be at the school. I would have an application process & make it open to the group only to keep the pervy stalker trolls out. As for the shopping I would leave it out completely. Sometimes sexy isn’t so blatant.
Mine would also not be so fucking creepy.
Blogger Template
There has been this overwhelming wave of blogger challenges & meme’s that have been going across the Second Life sites. Dress like this or take a picture with that. While I have done a few every so often that I find interesting in the past this insane amount of “Write about this subject” or “Take a picture of that” is just too much. It’s not creative to find yourself constantly in a loop of meme’s & other people’s ideas.
Well, Tipsy, why isn’t it creative?
I’m glad you asked!
While I don’t fault the every so often challenge one does on their site doing a couple a week does not become an article, review, or whatever the hell you are writing about. It becomes a crutch with which you find you no longer need to come up with your own original idea.
No One Said I Had To Stand Here.
It’s nothing but taking an idea that happens to be someone elses & just adding to it. Like a bloggers template.
Holy shit! See what I did there! I actually worked the title into the article. Amazing!
If you decide to do a blogger challenge then so did, depending on who put the challenge out, quite a few other people. Not only did you put yourself into a position where you no longer had to use your own original ideas to write about you’ve also found yourself lumped in with a massive amount of other bloggers who are doing the exact same thing. It doesn’t make you a writer. It doesn’t make you a master blogger. It makes you a little internet sheep following the electric meme flock.
In closing I would like to ask that everyone please pick maybe one they feel like doing & forget the rest. Is there one for a charity or a cause you believe in? Then by all means do it! There is a difference between “underpants down to your knees” memes & helping out a cause. Know the difference.
Start ignoring the blogger template waves & ride your own. Basically…..come up with your own shit. We, as writers, bloggers, storytellers, photographers, pimps of the press are way more creative than that.
You are all better than that.
