I don't do too many new things around SL. I wish I could be more like the others that are involved in pageants, having their own businesses, and meeting more people, but it's not that easy. In the meantime, I made do with my favorite places and tried to be more actively social... or so I said in my head.

I can't even truly recall the order that things happened. I believe I first went back to the beach - Laguna Beach, that is. When I got there, it was evening and I had never seen the place at night. It was so beautiful, I took a load of pictures. Do you see the fireflies? And the moon? Of course, there was no way I could resist floating idly in the water. As if I would stay in the sand when there's a scene like this out on the ocean.

Although the place it always crowded, it was a peaceful, calm, night. Don't you just get that feeling from these pictures. I wish I could do it daily.

Next, I went to Club Arsheba. It was my first time there, but I just wasn't feeling the jazz club scene at the moment. I wanted something more upbeat and less... classy. What kind of girl says such things? A bored one. I wanted something new.

When I got there, the place was packed. It eventually turned out to be one of the popular places listed. There were dance pads that paid you while you danced, so I went on one of them. I figured... I was gonna dance, anyway. If they're offering money for it, then why not?!

I've gotten a lot of compliments on this outfit at the club. This set did not come together, but they ARE all freebies. Yes, I'm a cheap shopper, but ... once again, why not? Right? I most likely got these items from NCI, Free Dove, or the GNUbie store. Great shops and the freebies are more than generous. Once I learn to design, I plan on donating some freebies to those places. You give and you receive. Sometimes, it doesn't happen in that order. In any case, I earned about L$20 total. Not bad for doing something I was gonna do for free, regardless.

I was going to go to the jazz bar and attempt to meet some decent folk - since some guy was offering to have me get him off like that would've been the best Christmas present ever ... at Arsheba. Instead, I went back to Laguna Beach. I just can't get enough of the ocean. It was daytime by then, so I thought I'd sunbathe a little, to keep that island girl skintone. =) Well, look behind me in this picture. Looks like they found a way to get a tan and some exercise. Rrrrawr!
That led to the demise of the beach. =) Nah, I'm just kidding. I didn't mind them there at all. It was the guy that was talking to me that ruined it all. He kept talking to me about how he's in a beautiful ocean in his own yacht, He said he lives on the yacht in RL and owns one on SL, as well. Then he started talking about living on an island off the coast of California and constantly saying "duh" like he was 13. Eventually, I had to give him the brush off. I'm a nice girl, but I can only tolerate so fucking much.

So, off to the jazz bar it was.

And, it was a lonely night. I think I'm a darling looking little gal. So, I don't have the stripper boobs, the height, or the massive amounts of makeup... but I think I'm a cutie. However, I was all alone that night with no prospective dance partner in sight. I explored Blue Note and found some cool little corners to ponder my loneliness with. In the end, I went to the piano to belt out my blues.

Maybe I'll find a darling cutie one day who can be my girl. We'd go dancing every night and finish the outing off at the beach, floating underneath the stars.

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.
