So, its almost been a month at my new home on Envision, and I love it just as much as I did when I first bought the land. I spent quite a bit of time making it look great, and a greater amount of lindens landscaping it. OMG, why are trees and stuff so expensive?! :O
I purchased this land for Kagic and I, where we can have a bigger piece of land for cheaper, can customize it ourselves, to better suit us, and don't have to TP a manager to eject an intruder in the middle of a conversation. I got a house, set everything up - and was so excited to show it to him when he logged in. But, almost one month later - I am still waiting for him to log back in.
One close friend knew about it, I kinda kept it to myself for a while, that he's been missing from SL. A few people told me they were wondering why I wasn't talking about him anymore. So, on Saturday - one month from his last log in date - I de-partnered him. It was difficult, and depressing, but - just how long am I supposed to wait? I wasn't sure about that answer, so I waited a month. I am assuming he has left SL either because he is bored with it, or something had come up.
I also found it difficult to just find someone to talk to during this time. I always fear IM'ing someone, because I know they have more important things to do besides listen to me rant and complain about things. So, I've always kept my thoughts and feelings to myself. But, when I did talk about Kagic and I, I felt relieved, to have some thoughts lifted off my chest. It really made me feel better to just vent and rant it all out. Would it be weird to script a sculpted noob to talk back, so I can rant and vent to it at any time I want? :O
So anyway... Its just me on my Envision land. Sometimes it feels a bit too big for little me, but I still enjoy it. It's serene, quiet, beautiful, and brings a little bit of enjoyment for me. :D Anyway, on to the completed pictures of my house!
Here is the house itself - I still love the dramatic lighting along the trees. Its so pretty :D
The front of the house is probably my most favorite. My completed pond is my most favorite place to be, because its so beautiful and peaceful.
Seriously, I can take pictures of the pond area for hours. There is also a fishing spot in it. :D I also recently upgraded the server to the most recent version last night - the server thing was acting up with a "Please wait a few moments before fishing" hovertext. Seems to work fine now :D
Speaking of fishing - I did want some kind of fish in the pond, and after visiting several places, I wasn't happy with the fish there. So, I managed to buy a transparent aquarium thing from 7Seas Fishing, and displayed some of my caught koi here. It's perfect, and exactly what I wanted. :D
The entrance of my home. I tried quite a few things here - fountains, and various sculptures, but, nothing looks better than a silver plate with a quote. I think it was actually meant for a wall.... but who needs to know? XD
My living room. I was going to take a picture of Kagic and I and put it in the frame above the fireplace, but well... it was never done. So, I put my second favorite photo of me in it. Not sure if it is weird that I frame photos of myself in my own house? O.o;
The neighbor's house next door, used to GLOW. Like omg. it looked sooooooo bad. But, luckily, they seem to have taken the glow off their house shortly after I moved in. ^^
There is usually one room that I can never decide what to do with - this was it for this room. I call it my inspiration room, with a piano, books, words, and stuff. ^^
The hallway was one of the best parts of the house to me - its so beautifully constructed. :D
Meh bedroom. :D Its so pretty, and is always one of my favorite rooms in each of my homes. It was obvious, as soon as I sat this house down, THIS would be the bedroom. Carpeted, with the best views of the house. ^^
The rear of the house. I am looking for some really good non-temp rez waves that look semi-decent. Anyone have any ideas? xD
My last picture of my house. I absolutely love that it is located on the west side of the island, so I can have beautiful sunsets. :D

Your house is gorgeous Sai. That's unfortunate about Kagic but then, eh, perhaps it's for the best? At any rate the right one will come along someday.
As for waves, did you look at the ones from NAIMA? If you can't find them in-world let me know and I can drop an LM on you. I used their waves for my cove and I really love it. ^_^

Wow, Sai! Those pictures of your house are so incredibly beautiful! Especially the ones around the pond area.
I'm really sorry to hear about Kagic. :( It sucks that he disappeared like that, without at least giving you the closure of knowing why. I guess you didn't have an email address or anything for him, did you? Maybe his computer died or something.. who knows. I really don't know how long people are expected to wait.. in real life terms, a month seems so short. But things are different in SL, and I don't blame you for unpartnering. It won't hurt to move on, there may be something else just around the corner.
Great work with the house. :)

Love the house and how you've decorated it Sai. It looks like a nice place to relax and unwind.
Sorry to hear about Kagic as well. As Meara and Nika pretty much said, when one door closes, another one opens. Someone even better will come along for you!
October 13, 2008 at 6:12 PM
*hugs your face* Pretty girl, if you ever need someone to talk to, my IM is always open. I'm a great listener, even if the listening is done with my eyes. LOL
You have such impeccable taste! Drives me nuts!! :)
October 13, 2008 at 8:44 PM
I love the pictures Sai!
If you ever need to talk I am always here to listen. Don't worry about being a bother because you're not. =) If I'm not online you can use my email. (It's on my blog)
<3

*hugs* you know I'm around a lot if you want to talk about stuff. you're such a sweet person, you deserve to be happy, whether thats with someone, or on your own or whatever. I hope you find it. :) and my door's always open if you want to come hang out. (well the ones on the north are anyway, lol) <3

Having someone just disappear is one of my biggest SL fears. I'm really sorry you went through this and didn't feel you could talk to many of us.
It's funny we often don't want to reach out and assume people are busy when they rarely are and would likely drop anything for a friend, especially one as sweet as you.
I'd hug your face too but Ali has that, just let me squeeze in here somewhere....

*tries to find a place to hug*
I'm really sorry about Kagic Sai, it really sucks especially like this without knowing if he just left or if something bad happened to him.
Wanna know something funny? I often wanted to IM you to ask you about him but was too afraid you were busy or didn't want to talk about it :p
Well from now on if you need to rant or even just talk my IM box is always open, I'm pretty much the less busy person around anyway...
And yeah your house is gorgeous sometime I look at mine and I'm so proud and then I will zoom out and look at yours and mine will look ridiculous >_<
*humps your leg since everything else is taken*

I am one of those that wondered. I even checked your profile recently to see if you were still partnered.
We all need to release our feelings sometimes. I am rarely in a position where I can't take time to listen to a rant - and I'm glad to do it. Even though we aren't close friends, I can relate some.
One of my male friends asked this week if my boy friend was still mostly AWOL! Yes. He happened to be moving in RL at that time, but we have gone as long as five weeks without seeing each other! *sigh* He was on twice the week I took a SL break.
Even though we aren't partnered, I have put the same "how long" question to myself. A month is plenty long enough. But at the same time, if no one has managed to steal my pixalated heart away.....

Sai, I love your house! It looks so peaceful!
Seems we have gone through similar things lately. It helps so much when there is someone to talk to about things. I am here for you anytime you need to talk.
*hugs*

The house is beautiful Sai, and I'm sorry too. This happened to me as well, and it's not easy. I'm glad you're taking care of YOU.
October 16, 2008 at 12:57 AM
Woah Sai your house looks truly cute and very homey .. erm, not sure how to write that .. but ... It really feels like a cozy home!
Sorry to hear about Kagic :( But yeah totally right. To be honest if someone wouldn't log in for a week and not even say a word by sending a mail, skype or another messenger thingie - gahhh I think I would throw him out immediately.

It's really hard when the only communication we have is online. Even worse when it's only SL. I communicate with Tiyuk outside SL via email and Gtalk, so I have other ways of contacting him if he doesn't come inworld. But still, it can be frighteningly easy not to respond to emails and to turn off/block IM... communication is such a fragile thing and so important. I'm so sorry about this but I'm glad you're among friends on Envision.
*squeezes in between Ali, Cen and Laleeta and hugs one of your arms* XD
