Valentine’s day post mortem

Special thanks to Popfuzz Bamboo for letting me steal that idea and answer my silly questions :D Go check out her awesome shop and blog HERE!

February's coming to a close and everyone’s coming down from their lovey dovey highs or they crushingly loner’s low. So here at the Metaverse vox-pop (well, it’s just me so…) got to wonder how did the resident’s month of love go?

So strap on those pink boots and heart pins because we’re going spelunkin!

QUESTIONS!

1- Are you in a couple?

a)Torrid Luna: ;-) I'm partnered since a few days before V's day... ^^

b)Kii Lilliehook: no. don't want to give you a change to say anything else:) (editor’s note: she was speaking about Bosco)

Bosco Homewood: No, we're just friends, it's only the second time we met :)

c)Nivaya Barbosa: ME

Nivaya Barbosa: And Subversive

d)Debra Charron: Yes

Alessa Careless: aww :) what did you do?

Popfuzz Bamboo: went to a club that i use to go to all the time to see soem old friends it was a blast

THOSE WHO SAID NO AT #1

2- Why not?

a)Bosco Homewood: SL isn't about being in a couple for me

b)Kii Lilliehook: Yeah, all this partnering stuff seems a little strange to me...

3- So what did you do for valentine’s day then?

a)Kii Lilliehook: guess I missed it...

b)Bosco Homewood: Well, I *am* in an RL couple... so that information is classified

4- What will you do for next Valentine’s day or to improve it?

a)Torrid Luna: I'm not sure, Valentines day isn't so much a thing in germany. But it's fun of course.. ;-)

b)Bosco Homewood: I don't generally plan more than a few days ahead. Life's more fun if it's a series of suprises!

Nivaya Barbosa: Well next year he'll actually BE here for it. So...yeah. :D

Subversive Writer: that's the one :)

c)Debra Charron smiles "Having more time together. my lover and I were both exhausted from RL work, so that shortened the evening"

d) Popfuzz Bamboo: i tried to not sl work that day so it was good a mini vacation

e)Popfuzz Bamboo: i work so much in sl so a break was nice

5- What’s your opinion on Valentine’s day in Second Life?

a)Torrid Luna: Big media hassle like all fests in SL. But it's nice when you just found someone.

b)Kii Lilliehook: Valentienes day? isn't that just a marketing thing of the florists?

Bosco Homewood: Kii! Such cynicism!

Kii Lilliehook: here in germany it truely is.

Subversive Writer: I try to do romantic things all the time, I don't need a day to show up so that when I happen not to be doing anything on that day I feel bad :)

c)Nivaya Barbosa: Yeah he just does what I tell him. It's fun.

Nivaya Barbosa: Oh or what he said. That was much cuter <3

d)Debra Charron: Actually, I have always enjoyed it. Deb is my alt for roleplay. I've been in SL since mid-2005 on my Main, and have been with the same Partner since christmas 2005...so evidently I enjoy it :-)

e) Popfuzz Bamboo: i think it was fun, i like seeing the cute lingerie lol

What different opinions we have here! I personally think that we need to lose focus over V day’s materialism and focus much more on the love. Yes I said it, the Loooooooooove.

And honestly, I think we, as an advanced race (alien or otherwise :D) can muster up the courage to be romantic with eachother every day of the year right? Why do we need to keep everything inside and explode in a lovey-dovey TNT stick on one day of the year?

Well that’s it for the first Metaverse Vox Pop, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. And sorry for the weird formating i'll try and fix this up before the next installment. Speaking of which, if you have any suggestions for the next one, don’t hesitate to either contact me inworld or to drop me a line at Alessa_Careless@hotmail.com.

Thank you and safe travels my earthling friends!
