Random Stuffs, Catching Up

Ok, it's offical...I suck at keeping up a blog. Hmm well let's see, this will be a little bit of a hodge podge of stuff, that I just need to catch everyone up on, or about things I just need get off my chest. So hang on, this could get lengthy. lol
Sometimes I Wonder...
Why bother? Last week I busted my arse to put out a few new designs to kick the store back into gear, with all the random SL issues, things weren't going all that well, so I figured I should get myself to work. I did. I worked extremely hard to put out some new fresh things, with my unique flare as always. I was overall very happy and proud of how nicely things are turning out for me now, after a few years this designing thing has gotten a little easier. Well, of course you are waiting for the downside of the story, so I'll get right to it. I'm not much of a complainer, I'm usually pretty upbeat and laughin non-stop. I've been discouraged since about 2 days after releasing one of my new outfits, when I saw an ad go out inside SL of a design not so much "similar" to mine, not as a direct copy, but my general concept stolen right out from underneath me in a matter of 48 hours. I've always taken pride on my unique items, and to see it just stabbity'd me right in the face. *sigh* Yeah, others will say, "you are making too much of a big deal of this", and maybe I am, but I was hoping at least week's worth of glory on a new product, before this happening. The market in SL is MUCH different than it was when I first started designing. I guess now it's kind of like buying a new car, as soon as you spend $15,000 for something, you will know it's not worth $5,000 when you drive it off the lot; or in other words, when you release something 'new' you may get a few sales before 'prince/princess big name' has done the same thing, and is now pulling business away. I guess this happens to everyone, maybe I should be flattered? I try very hard to be unique in my designs, it's just a hard pill to swallow, but hey, maybe this means I am now competition? *head swell* No, I will keep providing funky clothes to the people who appreciate my work, and hopefully can keep my head up and bounce back and keep going.

The 70's and their INSANE music!
So I have several RL weddings coming up that I will be Dj'n so I've been in the process of gathering all the music I have, getting it all ready for these events. My brother's wedding is one that I will be doing, and they are going to have a hippie/60's-70'sish feel to their reception...so here I am going through all my songs, and GEESHH what the heck was wrong with ppl of that time? LOL Here are some 'for instances':
Band Names That are Completely Wacked Out:
The Peanut Butter Conspiracy
The Electric Prunes
Cannibal & The Headhunters
Manfred Mann
10cc
Hot Chocolate
Lemon Pipers
The Yardbirds
The Byrds
Ozark Mountain Daredevils
WHAT THE HECKOLA! Really now. LOL Ok some of them I get, drug references, the 70's haha real funny great work, so original! But...The Electric PRUNES? What does that mean..."Yes, we are old but we are still electric!"? Insane. The Peanut Butter Conspiracy..."All our songs sound like we are singing with peanut butter in our mouths?" I totally don't get that one. 10cc-ha yeah ok drug reference, geeshh.
And if that isnt enough...you also have your...
Off The Wall Song Titles:
Alice's Rock n Roll Restaurant
(Ooga Chaka) Hooked on a Feelin
Kind of a Drag
Hot Smoke and Sasafrass
Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes
Stoned Soul Picnic
And I could go on and on, but I won't. lol Totally insane, but the funniest thing, once you start listening you can't stop! I have always thought "I'm not in love, by 10cc" was such a wicked sounding song, and I'm sitting here right now with it on repeat on winamp, like a total dork. It's prob depressing me to no end. I'm weird with music. I can hear a song, and know that I've heard it, or match a memory to it. Even if it was a memory of "driving to a family members house" I will remember it. Like this song now, I will remember 10 yrs from now, posting this blog while listening to this song. Weird eh? Music has always been a huge part of my life. When everything is wrong in the world, I can always turn on some tunes, and know that things are going to be ok. And yes I know I'm strange for thinking some songs are "wicked weird sounding", here are a few of the songs I think are that way:
"Another Day in Paradise" - Phil Collins
"Bette Davis Eyes" - Kim Carnes
I cant think of anymore off the top of my head, but yikes, those are bad enough! lol Ok, I'm off to shake my 'Green Tambourine'. :P

I have Neglected you Blog :(

New stuff at Quixotic Trance! WOOT! Well I have completely neglected the blog once again, but hopefully this post will make up for it. New this week CyberRaver Gear for d00ds and d00d3tt3s! I love these quirky accessories! You get the collar, belt, upper arm bands, and wrist bands. All have leather bands, metal circles, and cool flexi tubes that have just a hint of light on them for an extra cool effect. All the accessories are color changing with my nifty 22 color changing script, by either touching or chat command with dialog menu selection. These will really make your avatar stand out in any club type setting. Never worry about being the host or DJ that no one can see in a crowded club any longer! Be different, be unique, be Quixotic!

Yay for nwerds! I made these tee's a while ago and had forgotten to get them out. Whoopps! But here they are available in men's style and women's! $100L will get you all 4 tees! Each have a different saying on the front: "More Cowbell"-"Oh Damn It's You" - "I Still Gots One Pixel Left" - & "Will Code For Food". LOL I love these shirts, they look great with everything! All shirts are mod/no copy/transfer, so you can keep some for yourself and give the others away as gifts to that favorite scripter, roleplayer, or geek on your friends list. :)
That's about it for the new stuffs. I have marked a lot of items down at the store, shoes that were 400L are now 250L, and other accessories marked as much as 50% off!! Stop by and dont miss out, new things being added every week! Thank you all for shopping! See you soon! <3 Xaria

Happy 2 yr SLirthday to me!

Yayy Happy SLirthday to me! So I guess it's offical, if you have spent 2 yrs inside SL you are completely and totally addicted. LOL I didnt go all out this year planning a party or anything, actually it's now almost 11pm here at my home, and I havent even logged in today...I KNOW I'm going to hear about this from my buddies. "Here we waited on you to log in, and you decide to show up when we have all logged off." RL over SL I've always said, not always practiced, but I've tried! It's hard to pull yourself away from your thoughts, and creativities, and extremely hard to pull yourself from great people and conversations. I do not regret any part of my SL so far. I have met a lot of different people from all walks of life, some I hold as my very close friends, even though we have never met face to face in the real world. Sound crazy? Well if you are another devout SL'er you know exactly what I mean. I have went from total gamer n00b to an uber g33k, ok maybe I havent reached full on g33k status yet, but I'm VERY close. When you choose fixing your computer over a cracked windshield in your car, I'd say you are pretty close to either g33k or full on nutty.
At this time I want to just thank all of my customers who have supported me and fueled my creativity over the last 2 yrs. I really want to thank all my great friends I have made in SL, who have stuck beside me through all the ups and downs. If it werent for great friends, there would be no reason for me to log into SL everyday. I want to thank my ISP for keeping my net up and running. Want to thank my loving husband for supporting me during my "crazy on SL for days" periods. I want to thank dell support for the first year that I played SL to keep my computer in top shape to run SL, even though the computer barely held up due to my insane amount of time on SL. I want to thank tigerdirect.com for hooking me up with great deals on PC parts that made it possible for me to have a computer that actually works somewhat properly with SL. Why am I thanking people on my birthday like I've won some "oldbe award" here? geeshh, it's late what can I say? Anyway to wrap this up and get in game...I love you all! Wishing myself many more years in SL, ya know or at least until it all crashes and burns, and then we meet back up in yahoo chat, ewwwww yahoo chat! *bites tongue*

New Stuffs @ Quixotic Trance

Weeehaww new stuff! I dont have a lot of time to write today, but I thought I would post the new stuff I made! Safety Punk Belts! Whohooo more punkish gadgets! For both men and women these belts have a steampunk feel to them, with safety pins made as chains, a battery pack with actual working lights on the back! A rusted metal belt and blackened metal belt are included in each package. Belts are mod/no copy/transfer! Oh and I even made the little excess strap piece on the front as a flexi! Each of the round pieces on the back are lights, touch each once to turn them on, and touch them again to turn them off. Mmmmm yummy punk stuff, I cant get enough of it! The top and gloves I am wearing in the ad are from BareRose, pants are one of my creations, shoes and hair are from Old Gravy, and the arm bands can also be found at my store.
In the men's ad, the pants, shirt, and arm bands are available at my store, shoes can be found at Heart's Desire, and hair at BareRose.
I also have out the Uncle Sam complete avatar for the 4th of July, as well as a new emote sprayer designed with only 4th of July emotes that shoot out of either an Uncle Sam hat, or a firecracker that you hold in your hand. Stop on by the store and check these out, and please keep checking the blog and store, I am in the process of making a new 4th of July avatar for the ladies this year! Last year I made the Uncle Sam, which started as a custom job for someone and was short on time and didnt get to make anything for the ladies, but this year I am already working to make a complete avatar for the ladies for the 4th! The emote water bottle, and 4th of July emote sprayer are both transfer, so you can get them for your friends, and pass around the fun! They work by HUD, it's as easy as clicking an emote picture, someone's name, and POOF the fun begins! Oh I put in a pic of the 4th of July Emote shooter..hehe I cant get enough gadgets in SL!
Thanks all for viewing! <3 Xaria

Losing Account Info is teh sux0rz!

Howdy howdy ppl! Ok, why haven't I posted since Feb you ask? Welllll I kinda forgot my account info, and yeah I sux0rz. LOL I told you all from my first post that this would be an experiment to see if I could keep up with it at all. Let me fill you in on a few things about me...I check my email um maybe once a week, I never check my answering machine, sometimes I check the voice mail on my cell phone, oh boy I'm a mess. LOL I do though, check skype, and my SL notecards, and IM's daily. I guess I've been pretty lazy ever since instant messaging came along...that's my excuse. I've never been a "letter writer" type of person, but hey I'll talk to you in IM or voice all day long. So my deepest apologies for not posting for months.
Let's see new stuff that is going on...hmmm..OH! We had a HUGE 12 hr sim party at Urbane, and yes I stayed for the ENTIRE event! HOOoooooooo! I met so many awesome ppl during that 12 hour span, everyone was so great, and I only had to deal with one griefer! I'd say that's a pretty successful event! Special thanks to all the DJ's who performed for us, it was so much more than I thought it would be. DoubleDown kept the party going smoothly all 12 hrs, while the rest of us lost ourselves in the electronica music. It is such a small world, one of the DJ's, DJ Nitron is actually from my area! Being from a small town in MO this meant a lot to me. Much love to all the DJ's and thank you all for helping us celebrate our one year anniversary on Urbane!
After a day/night of complete partying the managers at Urbane decided to completely remodel our event area now named "The Backwoods & Spheremid". The Backwoods is a huge nature/park/woodsy type area set aside for dj'd events, sitting around chatting, hiking, taking in some awesome scenery, hanging out with that special someone, ToobSoccer and much more! DoteDote Edison, and Nogard Codesmith have put the new ToobSoccer pool together in the pond located in the woods. Hopefully real soon we will get some teams, and games going! The rest of the Backwoods has small camping sites, a big event area, and a new game that Nogard has been working on for a few weeks now...Fishing!! Look for this in your event list soon! Nog is a great game builder, he had just finished Zorb, before starting the Fishing game. Zorb is really exciting and you can come out and play it anytime at Urbane! Now, I'm sure you are thinking what the crap is "The Spheremid"? Well if you tp into the Backwoods you will see a teleporter that will take you 500M up into the clouds to our new gaming area we call "The Spheremid". Nogard is the genius behind this awesome build and teleport system. Each colored stick on the center pole, takes you higher and high up through the Spheremid. Keep your eye out events are coming soon! We are all juggling RL, our SL businesses, and trying to keep an event area and island running, it's a job but we are slowly getting there! If you are reading this and are interesting in hosting or dj'n for us, feel free to contact me anytime, we would be glad to meet and talk with you. :)
Well, I think it's time I finally log in. Thanks for listening, hopefully it wont be 4 months before I post again! Keep smiling everyone!
P.S. I'm totally addicted to the song "Grace Kelly" by Mika - the guy sounds just like Freddie Mercury of Queen, I cant get over it! It's a quirky song, just get it, yell at me later for becoming addicted to it too. LOL

Urbane Meltdown 07

Urbane Meltdown 2007 took place on Feb. 2nd! The entire sim family got together for a giant snow and ice melting party in the Square. We gathered together at 7pm, for a night of music, dancing, ice skating, and craziness (of course!). Several vendors gave away GREAT items they donated for raffle prizes: Dnel DaSilva of Xessories, Celeste Lehane of Celestial Secrets, Heart Wishbringer & Joe Stravinsky of Heart's Desire, SexyEyes Valkerie of AFantasy Emporium, Sunn Thunders ofSunnTee, Rose Farina of Rose Petal Creations, Carl Metropolitan of CMD Gallery, Xenophon Cyr, Me of Quixotic Trance, Nogard Codesmith of Wo0T Games, and of course Mr. DoteDote Edison who gave himself as one of the "grand prizes"(Dote you are a crack-up). LOL Special thank you to everyone who donated, and make Urbane what it is today! *hugs*
I'd also like to thank my good pals, Champie Jack and JetBlue Flyer who helped decorate and write some scripts for some things we needed for the party. I also thank each and every one who come out to support Urbane by your purchases from the many shops on Urbane as well as hanging out and playing games on our event area "The Lot".
We are planning for the Urbane 1 Yr Anniversary party that will be coming up really soon! Wow a whole year on the island already! We all had some really nice things to say the night of the party. Dnel made a couple of speeches throughout the night that were very heart felt, hugs and thanks were thrown all around that night, you couldn't have asked for a better time than we had. Needless to say after about 4 hours of Dj'n I was very tired, and even though my net started acting stupid and I lost stream toward the end of the party, we all still had a really great time. If I can get a picture from the night I will get it posted in here, I was so busy I actually didn't get any pictures! :O I know...Xar the Picture Takin Queen didn't get one picture! Is it the end of the world? LOL
Well I told you from the beginning that I will be days behind on my blog, and here it is, days later and I've finally gotten around to posting again. If you see big gaps don't be alarmed, I'm just an uber busy person. hehe
Ok ending this now, much love to you all, and thanks again for all your hard work and dedication! As we stick out the bugs and lag together may our SL be all we ever wanted it to be and more!
Xar :)
