It's late and it's hard for me to properly blog what went on for my New Year's weekend. I can't recall the exact dates, but I met someone wonderful and I spent my NYE with her.

But first, because I want to go in chronological order, let's start with... the Reggae Club! Hell, I can't remember the name of the place. All I know is that They had an even going on for NYE. This mostly pertained to other countries in far off timezones. I believe I may have still had a day before mine was coming along.

I had so much fun here, even without a dance partner. I've never danced to reggae before and it was just one of the most enjoyable things I've done in SL all alone. Not once did I feel like I needed someone to dance with. It's liberating, really. And I look so damned cute. Hell yes.

After that, I took off for Phat Cat's. Ah, I love that place - as crowded it is with random strangies (the not quite creeps, but still give me the creeps kinda people.) It's a beautiful place with beautiful music and beautiful people. I met this one girl whos name escapes me, but she was a joy to dance with. Also very beautiful, but I see her face everywhere... which makes me think that her AV is a set that comes with a shape and skin.

Off the the Blue Note I went after it just got too laggy for me. There, I met a couple of lovely young ladies. It seems that I was set on fire by the first girl. I had never had nerve to ask a girl to dance, but I'm much more comfortable with them than a random guy I might meet on SL. Possibly because I do am not here particularly for sex, but to meet new people and enjoy this unreal life form of mine. I feel too much pressure from the guys I've danced with to make it a romantic evening when I really don't care. I just want to dance.... But with a lady, the romance is just inevitable.

Here she is, the woman who taught me that SL is not just a feedbox for free sex. We danced the night away. Beyond us, the snow slowly melted with the warmth of the rising sun... and possibly the heat between us. She's beautiful, vivacious, and fun loving. She is loved by many and it only took seconds to see why. Kara Foley, you doll... I love that you're my friend. I do.

Even then, I've got quite a lot to post. Actually, it wouldn't seem like a lot except that I totally whored out on pictures. I don't even know where to start. The nights were pretty slow because I didn't have a dance partner. I haven't seen the Levi guy sign on when I could go dancing. The other times, I went out shopping. :)

First of all, last night was really quiet. I went to Phat Cat's where I am usually guaranteed a good time, but it seemed like everyone there was in jeans and a t-shirt. I'm not sure if they were having a casual night, but I wanted more than that, which is why I went there specifically. So, I searched for other jazz bars but none were happening that night. The plus side is that I found this one jazz club that had a cool wintery gazebo where I took pictures at.

I love Christmas. It's my favorite season, so I'm apt to take advantage of an extra Christmasy scenery whenever I can.

After this, I gave up and went to Laguna Beach. It's a nude beach, but it's mostly the guys that are naked. Most women I see are wearing bikinis, although some do go nude. It's a pretty cool place to meet people. I found it the same night I took these pictures because I had given up of jazz clubs for the night. I met some nice guys and some wierdos, but here are the pictures of that night.

This morning, I decided to go to the beach again. I had a really great time the night before and the beach had become a favorite. Seeing the waves and hearing them splash while you relax... it's so soothing. Plus, I don't get to wear a bathing suit much in this season, so it's a great excuse! I only took one picture though because there was a lot of lag. I'm surprised that you can see everything in this shot, actually. It was really packed today. Most things aren't even loading except as grey prims. It's a shame, but it doesn't keep me away. They also play great music, so it's hard to say no.

I met some cool gals and guy out there, but eventually, something crashed and most - if not all - of us were booted. I decided to come back later and see what else SL has in store for me. I went to the Blue Note jazz club because people have been telling me to try the place out. It's supposed to be way better than Phat Cat's. I'd been there twice before, but both times, there were only two couples on the dance floor. Too exclusive for me. Couples were already made, but I gave it another go.

When I arrived a guy started speaking to me. I think I'd spoken to him before because he seemed to recognize me. Also, I recognized his name, but I just couldn't place it. You can't trust faces here in SL. I could change into a man with a click, so I didn't bother looking too closely at his face. I asked him to dance and I took a few pictures of it. We also tried out the skating rink in the back. It had a snowman you can hug, so... I had to!

After that, he took me to a place called Rose Gardens. He said that it was the most romantic place he'd ever seen in SL and I'd have to agree. I don't know what it looks like when it's not winter, but it's beautiful when it's snowing. There were some Holiday setups, so I took some pictures with those. I ran off and explored some by myself. I tend to get lost in the moment, but at least he didn't take it as an insult. I wanted my holiday pictures and I was gonna get 'em.

Then, he took me to the Rose Gardens dance club. At first I got lost and went to another dance floor, but he sent me a teleport. They played mostly rock, but it was still enjoyable. The dances were cool. Now, if I only knew how to take a video of me dancing because I was great. :) I also changed clothes. I was super dressy for the romantic atmosphere of Blue Note and Rose Gardens, but the club called for club gear. I changed my clothes up a little by changing my skirt.

After he had to go, I ran off by myself an took a trip. I spoke to an SL friend who told me about Treasure Island. I decided to see what the place was like. It was totally empty - I was the only one there. It was kinda fun, though. Mostly for the photo ops. I had a pirate costume tucked away somewhere, but it was incomplete, so I mixed it n with a swashbuckler costume and ended up with this:

I had a lot of fun out last night. I was up late and decided to go out clubbing. I hadn't really gone clubbing in SL before and I wanted to see if there was any fun to it. There always seemed to be a lot of ads in the classifieds from clubs hiring events coordinators, hostesses, dancers, whatever. I figured, they must be making some kind of money and pulling in a good amount of customers to be hiring. So, there it was.

I checked out the events pages and hit up two clubs. One had a holiday theme. When you went in, they gave you a candy cane, so everyone was dancing with a candy cane in their mouth. It looked like fun, but the dance floor just wasn't working for me. Disappointed, I was just going to return to Amsterdam and hang out, but while thinking about it, I saw an event ad for a Jazz club happening at that very moment. So, I thought... I love jazz. Why not?

When I got there, I fell in love with the music right off. I roamed the dance floor looking for a dance I might be able to do myself, but all the options were for partnered dances. Oh well. So, I danced, anyway. By a fluke, a guy next to me chose the same dance, so we got partnered up together. It was pretty cool. I never knew I could slow dance.

We danced a lot of dances. We danced for a few hours and tried out all the dances on the floor. There was even a boat section way in the back that you could slow dance in. We tried that, too, while watching the sunset. It was the raddest thing because it looked like a scene straight out of Titanic. I didn't get to take a picture, though. I was too busy just enjoying the scenery.

It was a really great dive. I just wish the floor was a different color. It looks kinda like white trash spandex in that color. Maybe if it was blue or gold, it would match better. It was a really classy place. See my ball gown? Coolness.

It wasn't packed, but there was just enough people to make it enjoyable. I loved that people dressed up for the occasion. It was like prom. At one point, it was really dark and the setting just reminded me of the ballroom from Beauty and The Beast.

I probably won't be going to the hip-hop/pop clubs after this. I really enjoyed dancing and being all made up. It's like what prom should've been. LOL.
