- The term, "ageplay" has become synonymous with a form of BDSM role play where one individual (usually a sub) dons all aspects of a child (i.e., dress, demeanor, behavior) and the other (usually a dom) dons all aspects of an adult. This, however was not always the case. To better understand why there is such [...]
- Sadly, people can be so gullible sometimes. Then again, as long as mankind has existed, we have looked for god, the fountain of youth, and riches. Though not necessarily in that order.

One possible future
As with all new year traditions, there are plenty of predictions regarding the upcoming year. Whether or not they come to fruition, the job market is actually looking up. So that will definitely play a role in how the year unfolds. And this will be especially so in virtual worlds.
We’re moving!
I have been playing with Blue Mars for the last couple of weeks, and realize, limitations and all, it rocks. So, we’re moving! Though, I do not know how long it will take to get our new place up. In the mean time, I’m ditching my sims and will just have my linden home & a little shop in Ross.
Happy new year, all!
