Is it me or do you feel like way too many avatars featured on the feeds look like a bunch of clones including some “big name bloggers”.
Is it me or do you wonder if some of these second life SLebrities that do nothing but create a blog/plurk prom queen or king persona are people trying to compensate for not sitting at the cool kids table in high school.
Is it me or do you get a bit sick to your stomach when you see someone on plurk post a pic of their mug that looks like half of the other bloggers on the feeds and see a million suck ups saying “OMG YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL”.
Is it me or do you find it pathetic the way some women fall over each other trying to get the attention of some of these males on plurk.
Is it me or when you see some people brag about how wonderful their RL is on plurk, do you think they are full of shit?
Is it me or do you get a bit weirded out when people talk about how hot your avatar is, seeing how it is just a cartoon.
Is it me or do you actually fear Internet fame cause it seems like the beginning of the road to Loserville.
Is it me or do you get annoyed when people actually think they can separate their RL from their SL.
Is it me or do you get annoyed with people who actually believe that some people in SL are cooler or more popular than others and that they want to be accepted or close to them for this fact only? FFS they are dolts behind a computer just like you and I.
Is it me or do you get annoyed with some of these plurkers who tend to blame all the negativity and drama on plurk on people who are not a member of their fashion inner circle.
Is it me or are you a bit sick and tired of hearing that if one plurks or blogs things that irritate them or make them angry that they are labeled “negative” or expressing their “true character”. Aren’t we allowed to get pissed off now and then? LOL.
Now don’t get me wrong I do think there are people in SL who are genuinely loved, admired and “popular” because they really are nice people (*cough* Gidge, Cajsa, Gogo, Kess, Mouse, Pumpkin, Wilma). And for me these people tend to be the most open about themselves and are quick to admit their real world beautiful geekiness, LOL.
I also think that some of the most unique and interesting avatars are not found on the feeds. Instead they are lurking around SL just having a good time.
And NONE of the people I refer to in a harsh manner in this post are on my friends list in world or my friends list on plurk, thank you very much LOL.
Am I really the only one who thinks these things cause if I am, I am one super pretentious BITCH, LOL.
Oh Lizzie..I’m much nicer than Gogo;) Grins
Yes I would agree Wilma LOL
Lizzie, I love you, but I am so not popular hah! <3 You did make me smile for your compliments. Thank you.
Kess you must face the facts that you are popular!
It’s not you….
:-)
“Is it me or do you get a bit weirded out when people talk about how hot your avatar is, seeing how it is just a cartoon.”
It’s not just you.
But dang. There are a lot of things that annoy you Lizzie. Take a chill pill and a longer plurk vacation. :P
LOL Ms Robbiani maybe I am just not afraid to express my annoyances :)
I agree with you on most parts. If I disagreed with you on any, I can’t remember. :P
I think you hit the nail on the head about the fear of being a RL Loser once someone starts being called an SLebrity. Most RL celebrities aren’t even deserving of the reverence they get from gushing fans.
Anon nobodys FTW.
Do you think that because your av is “fluffier” that you are different? =P You Lizzie, plurk and blog more drama than anyone I have ever heard of. You wear the same skins, accessories, hair and clothing etc as many other bloggers and non blogger SL residents. You also have your fair share of loud and proud Lizzie supporters willing to comment about how cute/unique/right you are when you express your opinions in various forums. =P
How many times have you “quit” and then come back – with numerous blog posts regarding both the coming and going? Hell, I’ve only been in Sl about a year and a half and I’ve seen you “leave” at least three times. Everyone eats up the drama like they’re gonna die tomorrow. hehe.
The truth is, it’s hard to be unique once you get into the blogging and blog reading. We all like things that are popular, it’s human nature. I love my Truth Hair and Curio skins as much as the next fashionista. ^_~
In conclusion… no it’s not just you. But as a “Slebrity” yourself (lol) you must admit that you are just as “guilty” of some of those things on your list as anyone else.
No h8, just pointing out a little friendly irony.
Your blog writing style IS in fact, fresh and unique. I always enjoyed reading your blog.
Hi Bunny! Sorry I just noticed your comment in my inbox or I would have replied sooner.
Actually I am a certified Drama LLama and where that badge proudly! And yes I fully admit I leave SL more often than some characters on soap operas, LOL, but unfortunately I don’t come back as some hot 21 year old who was sent to Europe for boarding school. The point of my post is say there are a lot of bloggers out there who really don’t even bother to try and make their shape appear different in their curio skin from say the next blog on the feed. Very few actually try and create a “character” with their avatar and to try and find one thing that makes them stand out from the crowd. For example, Puma Jie, Gogo, Cajsa, Gidge, SweetDeb, Vega, Uma and even Tenshi are very recognizable because they have taken the time to make their avatar look unique. They have created a character. Too many bloggers want to look hot and or pretty or blog the way everyone else and don’t create a CHARACTER, Okay I shut up about that cause I am sure I am pissing off half the community with my words but what’s new right?
And it regards to “my supporters” in reality they are my friends and I would equally support them as well. My point is that there are a few in this fashion community who take all this fame too seriously and feel the need to suck up for acceptance. I wont be friends with someone who is merely around to hitch a ride on my accomplishments. I really feel as though I am a misfit in SL and maybe some of my so called supporters feel this way too. And if feel the need for attention, I say I need attention, LOL.
And actually Bunny your remind me of my friends cause you see when Lizzie is being a hypocrite and aren’t afraid to call me out on it. Lets face it Bunny we are all hypocrites – from time to time we say and do things that we dislike that others do.
And yeah I am going to continue to talk about the things I like and I don’t like cause this world ain’t all unicorns and rainbows but I believe I do it with balance. I am just as likely to point the beauty of SL as much as the ugly. Okay I think I have said enough. Thanks so much for adding your well thought out and eye opening comment and note there is no sarcasm in that statement once so ever. Hugs.
Is it just me or do you think someone should stop looking at the feeds and reading plurk if they are this bothered by them?
Is it me or is Lavea’s answer seem to be the prevalent canned response these days from SLers when someone posts about things that irk them – at least I don’t hide behind some SCD secret.
Is it me or do you find it incredibly stupid to think that one can’t conceptualize that one can filter out content on as needed basis but if it seems to be the TREND why should I shut up about it?
You didn’t make a complaint about one or two things. You have a laundry list of complaints. I’m more likely to chalk that up to you personally than to SL, plurk, feeds, etc.
No one said you had to shut up. I was just voicing my opinion on your post voicing your opinion.
Okay then I’m just commenting on your opinion on my opinion. And if it really feel its me than so be it. Hugs and have a happy SL.
Does bombing and burning an ex’s club on sl qualify as a difference of opinion?
Seriously, Lizzie. I’ve known you longer than most, I’d think. You are truly being a hypocrite here, or you aren’t seeing your own behavior. I’ve seen you endlessly suck up to designers. And, I’ve also seen that you have created a lot of your own drama, when it could have been avoided and/or you have sought it out.
Perhaps a little self examination here, and a little less lighthearted blowing it off as fun, when it pertains to yourself, is in order.
Bombing and burning an ex’s club? I have no idea what you are talking about. If you mean Moosh, Dane requested I return the club so I guess you don’t know me as well as you claim LOL. And nice way to be an anonymous chicken shit ha.
And suck up to designers? Umm, don’t think so. I don’t see designers as being any different from anyone else on my friends list. Now I have praised a designers work from time to time so if praise to you means sucking up then you have a pretty narrow view of the definition of praise. So please crawl back into your anonymous hole and have a great day.
