am trying!!! LL has given me some probs (too long story to explain, but I will be back!!) kiss kiss hele

It is genuine Helena Kirkorian style: no interpunction, strange English grammer and a ‘kiss kiss’. So I guess I was right*, and she did not willingly leave us without saying goodbyes?

She is coming back, and in the mean time we can just continue to kick ass on our own. Paradise Lost is not lost! ;)

* I was guessing at Second Life account troubles, ‘put on hold’ because of suspicious money transfers after the gambling act, because of Linden random f*ck up or because she’s just to hot looking for Second Life.

Update:

Got this from avatar Helena Kirkorian as an in-world IM:

Helena Kirkorian: (Saved Sat Sep 29 07:47:13 2007) hi baby!!!

Woot!!! :d

So, I’m never not for the next three weeks going to laugh with Veyron’s hang for Google tools anymore. A big thank you to you and the Google Calender to notify me in an almost timely fashion! :p

To throw a last minute surprise RezzDay party, what do we need?

• A location: The Paradise Lost.
• Decoration (no time)
  
• Invite: Voila. Yes, I stole Looker’s pictures. No bill yet? :d
• Guests: Ah. So many dropped by! Thank you all!
• DJ: Stella Errans’ Nephie Eerie.
• RezzDay present: Euhm. *grins*
• Booze (plunder your own fridge)

1pm SLT: the party starts. Timothy and Tiana were amongst the first to arrive, and quickly made their way to the - amongst others, mine - dancing poles. Lillie Yiffie, Londen Spengler, Nadine Nozaki, Alusz Niven, Kean Kelly, Trinity Clift, Dandellion, … and many others. I TP’d Dalien in and we all yelled ‘Surprise! Happy Rezzday!’. Also Mygdala March and Alexander Burgess dropped by, and despite some crashing, Myg even got Alex to move his feet to Nephie’s excellent music set.

At a certain moment I started to panic: ‘Veyron! Veyron! I don’t have a RezzDay present!!! Help!’ Veyron’s savvy answers: ‘Well, hun, you do have dancing poles, right?’ I must admit, the lady is a way better pole dancer then I’ll ever be. Even taken into account that I am a bit rusty at the whole pole dancing thing. Well, after a while and a whole lot of typing, tossing clothing pieces and ice cubes we even got Dalien to participate a bit. Off went the matrix coat and sweater. *grins*

But all parties come to an end. Especially if most of the guests are on CET. So, after a final slow dance - happy now, Tiana? :p - I rebooted and did not return to SL.

It was awesome to celebrate with ‘y’all’, it was great to see the Paradise Lost full of people again and I can’t wait until Dalien’s 2nd RezzDay! *grins* (I did promis for that occasion Veyron and I will not keep our panties on. ;))

*goes to clean up the Paradise Lost*

More pictures can be found in my ‘Dalien Talbot’s 1st Rezzday Party’ set on Flickr. And it would be neat if you would all add the tag ‘dalien1strezzday’ to the pictures you took, for easy retreaval reasons? ;)

W00t! I’ve won! I’ve won! I’ve won! I’m very flattered to have won this ‘Strip Search’ contest although I only wear a humble Neko skin and had nothing to take off except some ordinary silks.

I want to thank my loyal dancing pole for being as shiny, smooth and filled with animations as he is. I couldn’t have done this without you!

My gratitude also goes out to all the lovely people and skeletons that voted for me, kept me company and told me I was doing fine and to keep going when I was getting exhausted and could barely lift my arms anymore.

And of course I need to thank Hele and my fellow Lost Angels at the Paradise Lost for the contest and the competition. ;) I hope I won’t disappoint some by not participating in the ‘Best in Silks’ contest tonight, as I would just end up wearing the same as I did for the stripper’s contest. Or I need to go and shop… Shop?! Shop!!!! ;)

And now more serious: I had ‘a blast’. It was nice just hanging/dangling there and having all the time in the world for main chat and IM. I’ve got to see some old friends again, and actually exchanged more then 2 sentences with them and I ‘past tense of LMAO’ with the Belgian - German bonding. Ty all!

Best quote of the evening, on the old ‘who’s peer and why did he reset my connection?’-IRC joke:

[17:48] Dalien Talbot: aah i know what is it!
[17:48] Dalien Talbot: flying penises is the 3D incarnation of peer!
[17:48] Dalien Talbot: :)

Trinity, Hele and I after Trinity told me the good news that I’ve won the ‘Strip Search’ contest. Don’t I look happy? (I was actually enjoying some champagne to celebrate, but it’s hidden behind Trin’s silks.) Trinity looks goods in silks, doesn’t she? For all those present at PL tonight: Vote Trinity for the best in silks contest! =d

Hmmm. It does has been some time, since I’ve last danced. Maybe… SLnostalgia and such… and then at least what is written in my about page still sort of checks out… Yeah, well, why not, I’ll give it a go!

*Vint IM’s Helena*

Vint on her cutest sobbing-behaviour:

‘But… but… euhm… boss! The other girls are always stealing my dancing pole! And then I can’t dance. And that’s why I haven’t performed at the club for such a long time. And now, because of the contest, I want to give it a try again. But I really <heart> that pole!’

‘And Andro is not online to sit on it ’till I come to the club. Can I reserve mine? Pretty please?! And would you tell the girls that if they tresspass, they are endangering their lives? Because I just recently bought an AK-47 too. And I know lots and lots of girls with guns!’

Wuf and Rose, I wish you all the best! Let yours be the most fulfilling intercontinental-meta- marriage ever seen on the main grid! ;)

The lovely Tiffa Jun’s hottub:

*grins*

W00t! Yayayaya! *Jumps up in the meta-air.* *Presses PageUp when in-world a thousand times.* Thank you all so very much for voting for me (and my Egg) - some even twice - and for helping me spread the word. Still wondering if I’ve won a building or a popularity contest, but maybe that’s not that important anymore, because I now have 2k l$ to spend on Neko-stuff. Who goes shopping with me tonight after Wuf and Rose’s marriage?

Part two of the series ‘People who came over to vote for me.’

Ow, and of course also Andro came over to click my name. This is why I shoot (down) every girl that gets to close to him (except for Wuf, as she’s getting married anyway): we just look that good together! ;)
