More of SL this days

I have seen much of SL this days, with the return of Misse and a title to defend "Best fighter in Thule" I must be logged in...

This "Best" fighter thing is getting to my head *grins*

Firestorm and Phoenix are not the greatest to be logged in this past few days, lagging like crazy, can't sit down, some animations don't work, I have to be switching between them...augh, really a pain!  but at least i can say that Phoenix never crashes on me, so I am not a fan of Firestorm.

I am still planning to see what I am going to do at my house, I was thinking of giving up the property since there is always an issue with the land and my payments, never had that issue before...but I don't like to move around much, I have til friday to decide what I am going to do...until then I am not going to set anything on the property and keep it simple.

Feeling happy at Thule :) love it there so much!!

daughter is also back in SL, now we have to fight over the computer, cause she loves the place just as much as I do, ehehe

danced a bit at Bejazzed, I always had a thing for jazz.  thanks for the dance.

so far so good, there are moments that I hit a bump, moments I reminisce, think back, and I miss, then I look ahead, I shake myself and those thoughts and I am fine.

I just wonder when will I be fine all the time, and not just some times.

taking a tour of Thule

ehrr, I just thought about it, if someone wants to raid us, I just gave them the entire blueprint to the SIM o.O yeah........but hey, who reads this blog anyways??
raight??

anyways

Place is gorgeous!
MissE does such a great job at doing this place up and making it look and feel so real!
I love to be here, when she is around I just hang here, makes me wonder why I even pay for a property.

I have been around Thule since November 2009 when Fox first brought me to Kaupang and once again I am back to Kaupang, many memories :)
every one here has been around for that long as well, that goes to show you that people here are loyal, and caring :)

I enjoy Viking life!

The best!

I was not that great with the melee, so I thought, but things just worked out a different way ehehehe

My Collar

I can't wear my DCS meter because it needs to be attached to the chest....

Guess what?

My collar is attached to the chest, and I completely refuse to remove it at the moment, not until I am ready to do so...

Last night I played around a bit to see if I could change the attachment spot and it did not work, so I guess I am going to be without a meter, so I guess I will have to use one of my alts to fight in Thule.

I really don't care about the collar of the rest of the AV's ...Cielo, Kryy..etc, I am going to take their collar off, but when it comes to Punky and Aliexx...their collar was/is like my wedding band, I don't have the heart to remove it yet...even if he logs in and releases his name of my collar, I am not ready to go there.

Maybe in time I will...

but for now...

I can't

From SL to RL
Punky still in love.

Warrior Asgrin

Fitting my SL into my RL

With the start of the school year, driving my son to school, picking him up from football practice, and picking up my daughter from work I hardly have any "me" time!

I work my 8 hours a day to rush home to drive around.  Have I turned into a soccer mom?  More of a football mom actually :)

I am trying to log into to SL and have me some fun! *frowns* but I don't get to be in there for more than 1.5 hrs a day :(
You know, this are the days I wish Master was around, taking time off to be with Him was also my "me" time, NOBODY dares to disturb mommy when she is bonding with her Papi *grins wide* it doesn't happen often, so when he makes his reappearance I change my schedule to fit his.
Not only it makes me happy, but it is also my relaxing time and I can actually interact more, get things done, and enjoy it.

Each time I sit down the phone rings, someone is at the door, can I check something in the computer real quick?  It is always something keeping me away, distracted, and seriously...it takes the fun out of it, ugh!! as if!!
I try to log in at work but one thing leads to another and by the time i notice is time to go home...although today at lunch I was able to log in for a bit!
Tomorrow I am going to log in and just stay logged in...even if I only get a few words out...hehe

Ultima Thule Minor looks awesome!! and traffic is not bad :)
MissE does a great job at decorating and rearranging, is just feels so much like home and warm and wow, I love it!!

anywho!!

Tomorrow is another day!

Already have my plans, supervisor will be away most of the day, so taking advantage, getting lecture out of the way in the morning, do another in the afternoon and all set!! should be an easy day........i hope.....

Back home and searching for Alpha Male

ok...
so MissE and I talking today after such a long time of not seen each other, it was great seen her and catching up a bit :)
but anyways, i need to get my cute ass on point! one thing that came up is that there are so many females on the SIM and hardly any males, if any...Harold still not around...I have to go out searching for an Alpha Male...oh boy, what a challenge.

I can't think of who, or better yet how to catch him...and keep him around, make it fun for him to make him wanna stay.
I am sure with all the beauties around he wont have a problem *grins wide*

Home is wonderful as always :)

UT even more beautiful than ever...MissE looks so good!! too bad i don't like changing my appearance much, i love my punky the way she is, i don't want to change her, sometimes i do, but then regret it after, log in another one of my girls and make the changes there...well, not that much either, i am happy how they look

Master logged in yesterday *heart drops to her knees* i wasn't around *frowns deeply* he did tried contacting me but i was asleep by 7:30pm...who does that???? so mad at myself *hum!! crossing my arms* don't know when i will get the chance to hold him again *cries*

two years ago today we met in RL OMG!!
and still that man makes me feel like the first time...

Our First kiss...9/02/2009


[16:29]  Punky Afterthought: you are most wonderful
[16:29]  Gradus Aravir smiles..'well speak for yourself"
[16:30]  Gradus Aravir: if I kiss you now I am sure there wont be a way back
[16:30]  Punky Afterthought: only one way to find out
[16:30]  Punky Afterthought: don't you think
[16:30]  Gradus Aravir  laughs
[16:30]  Gradus Aravir: I have to hunt you down till the end of times then
[16:30]  Punky Afterthought: don't worry about not finding your way back
[16:31]  Punky Afterthought: i will be your guiding light
[16:31]  Gradus Aravir: or keep you close
[16:31]  Gradus Aravir  hmm, sounds nice too
[16:31]  Punky Afterthought turns to him puckering her lips
[16:32]  Gradus Aravir  slides with his hand over her body tenderly
[16:32]  Gradus Aravir  leans in to her
[16:32]  Punky Afterthought feeling nervous
[16:32]  Punky Afterthought sweaty palms
[16:33]  Gradus Aravir : things in your stomach
[16:33]  Punky Afterthought: yes, those are called butterflies, i am feeling them too
[16:33]  Punky Afterthought takes his hand in hers placing it on her   belly
[16:33]  Punky Afterthought: feel that?
[16:33]  Punky Afterthought: the butterflies are going crazy
[16:34]  Gradus Aravir  smiles and nods
[16:34]  Gradus Aravir: the typists too
[16:34]  Punky Afterthought: i think the typist is more nervous
[16:35]  Gradus Aravir  smiles and places one hand on her cheek, leaning in and places a soft kiss on her lips, looking into her eyes
[16:38]  Punky Afterthought feels her body tingle all over, feeling his soft lips on hers, lips trembling her body giving up on her....she exhales feeling completely lost
[16:40]   Gradus Aravir  his fingers trail a bit more down over her neck, he pauses a bit, still looking in her eyes and then continues kissing her, knowing he is lost now in her wonderful sweet eyes
[16:42]  Punky Afterthought presses her lips ever so gently against his, she pulls back for a second looking into his eyes,  leaning over again towards him, her tongue tracing his lips seductively
[16:43]  Gradus Aravir  smiles in his kiss then parting his lips a bit and his tongue seeks her, his hand now follows her sweet figure, his fingertips enjoying each single bit of it
[16:46]  Punky Afterthought feels his tongue in her mouth searching for hers, taking advantage of the opportunity takes his tongue between her lips sucking on it softly
[16:46]  Punky Afterthought: mmmmmmmmmm
[16:48]  Gradus Aravir  plays a little bit with her tongue as she sucks on it and then he breaks the kiss.."oh my, that was unbelievable" still staring in her blue/green eyes
[16:49]  Punky Afterthought: i am still in lala land
[16:49]  Punky Afterthought: ((i went to get up and my knees buckled))
[16:49]  Gradus Aravir : ((aahhw))
[16:49]  Punky Afterthought stays in a trance as he breaks the kiss
[16:50]  Punky Afterthought: i have to tell you, it was so worth waiting all this time to be kissed
[16:50]  Gradus Aravir : you can say that again
[16:50]  Punky Afterthought smiles blushing away
[16:51]  Gradus Aravir : you are just..wow
[16:51]  Punky Afterthought: took the words out of my mouth

NOW!!! Lets have a great time!!!

What is a trell?

taken from Daily Life in the Viking Period

The slave - or "trell", as the Vikings called him, is not mentioned in the law because they were not protected by the law. The slave was owned by his owner in the same way the owner owned his domestic animals. Slaves were looked upon as the owner’s property. The owner could buy and sell a slave, and he could treat his slave as he liked. If the owner killed one of his slaves, it was not considered as murder. If a free man killed another man’s slave, the murderer only had to pay for a new slave. The price was nearly the same as that of a domestic animal. 

When a female slave bore a child, her child automatically became the property of her owner. If a pregnant slave was sold, her unborn child became the new owner’s property as well. Rigstula tells us that the slaves worked all the time. They collected wood, fertilized the fields, made fences, dug turf, bred pigs and made bast ropes. The slave family ate unwholesome and unappetizing food. According to the law, the only thing a slave was allowed to own was a knife. 

Slaves were often captured during Viking raids upon British islands, but a free Norwegian man could also become a slave, either by free will or by force. He might be forced into slavery if he wasn’t able to pay the mulct ordained by the Thing or if he couldn’t feed himself and his family. Some Vikings became rich by selling slaves to other tribes in Europe. 


Doesn't seem too different from the Gorean Slave..

thank you for attending my little lecture of the day!!

Missing Comb in Thule & Nick is a Winner!

the Princess's trell lost her comb, how? beats me! how can you even misplace a comb?

For days, the Danes and the Norse have been searching for the comb to get the reward (500 L's) and probably be in good grace with the Princess...who is soon to be the queen of the Norse... *clears her throat* by any means necessary if I may add *grins wide*

Nick is a winner!!

Last week he won the quiz contest and now he finds the comb? nah ah!! I am on it, he got some competition coming to him!
that's right!
Move ova'man!!
*shoves him playfully*

We had a great RP night...I was so pleased, almost 11 pm and I didn't want to go to bed!! hehe, that is always a great thing, can't wait to log in tonight!

Kamiko is also new, I don't have a pic of her yet, her hair was having issues, and you know how us females can be when it comes to certain things, but pic coming soon!

Back to Nick...cause this post is all about NICK!!

Cool guy! fun, funny and very pleasant to be around!  Great conversations too.
He wants a big family! oh and he is Bondi too...forgot to ask him from where...but full details coming later on as RP evolves!

Everyone is going to be in trouble with Nick, he loves competition! and he is great at it!

With all the games, and events in the SIM we either will have to tie him down or give him the wrong clues...PEOPLE/AVATARS/VIKINGS get your competitors' hat on cause we gonna need it!!

MidSummer Blot ~Meeting of the Minds~

Today there was a meeting held for the Mid-Summer Blot.
I have some juicy information about the ladies here...hehe

I am so glad to have been logged in to participate :)

There are tons of things going on this summer and I am excited and glad to be part of it!

Wonderful ladies here, i am already loving it...seems like SL managed to pull me back in! *sighs*
feels wonderful to belong.

Astrid - Princess and soon to be Queen of the Norse

she is someone who you do not want to cross, she will kill to get what she wants...don't believe me, come and find out!!  Cant say much, I may not live another day to count the blessings Odin give me each day! But if you want to find out more, come and join us for a bit

Aelfwyn - Queen of the Danes

Aefwin and Katla's older brother, Harald was heir to the throne of Denmark. He and his sisters went to England in search of adventure. In England, Harald discovered that an old enemy was now ruling in Yorvik. Harald and his hearthband began raiding the lands of the King of Yorvik. Eventually there was a battle and Harald was killed. Alf's twin sister Aelflaed was kidnapped by raiders from Yorvik . Harald  had married, sand left a young son; his wife had diedin Childbirth. When Their father died, Alf and Katla returned to Denmark and became Queens of the Danes. They are raising their brother's son to become King. Alf travels a lot in search of he twin sister. In her traels she often wears male clothing and passes herself off as a young man. Aelfwyn has always enjoyed pursuits that are more commonly associated with me: she knows how to use a sword and bow, and enjoys horseback riding, and sailing. Her father used to call her his Shieldmaden. with their father gone, Aelfwyn fears that the Norse and Swedes may combine to invade Denmark, and she is often in Norway gathering information and looking for her twin sister.

Katla - Queen of the Danes

Being forced into an arranged marriage not wanted Katla cut her braid off in defiance and ran away from the village her Father ruled in, To complete her disguise she also changed her last name to hide her parentage. While on the road she met up with Aelfwyn, her elder sister to help her on her travels.to find her twin and my other  elder sister Alflaed.

Asvid 'redbush'  ~The Mead House Lady~

My husband and I embarked on a fishing trip one clear spring day unaware that tragedy was waiting not far from us.
A terrible storm caught us by surprise, waves taking down our small fishing boat.  I was lucky enough to escape with my life, but I do not think my husband was lucky enough...I haven't seen him since.
Each night I stand by the shore looking North waiting for the day he will he come home.

She works hard as a Mead House Lady, she fights, a good soul, but very dirty with her mouth, watch out!
 to many she is known "redbush".
Great with the bow!
