beasts on the home sim

Last Sunday the CTRL+SHIFT+H sim had another one of its themed parties. This time: beasts and creatures. I apologize for the lack of good documentation, but things got really crazy really fast and I lost track of things and forgot about photos.

It went like this: faun, sheep, fox, fox makes comments about "horny" sheep and faun, pile of sheep follows, people sit on pile of sheep, sheep prove to be no-mod and so magic of flight is not possible, alien bikini girl attempts to eat bunny girl, alien girl rezzes giant cootie, proceeds to navigate cootie into nothingness, then drops us to the ground, then LEAVES, leaving us with no pilot, Cyrus saves the day by rezzing flower and particles and we continue our adventures.

As you will see, the pictures do not do this tale justice. However, here you go.

 Does this kind of insanity sound fun to you? Join us tonight at 8 pm SLT for a pajama party!

geek pride week!

The Home Sim celebrated its first Geek Pride Week, starting on Tuesday, May 18 and culminating with International Geek Pride Day, on Tuesday, May 25. Geek Week was also our official sim opening and an opportunity to share our vision for our Home and the work we have done since February with friends, neighbors, and SL residents in general.

Among the various events we used as an excuse to celebrate our geek pride, we had a book discussion, several concerts, an art show, and a themed party. Here are some of the highlights:

• The League of Extraordinary Dorks Book Club met to discuss ChatBrat Pippita's pick this month, which was The Reader, by Bernard Schlink. We had one of the best book discussions we've had since the beginning of our book group, I thought, and this meeting also saw some new people join our regular cast of characters. 

 

• Bone Mosten, resident geek, put together some of his awesome art pieces and helped us celebrate our geek pride with class. Bone's pieces are still out if you want to come visit, and they are free for you to take!

• Framulox Ezvalt, Dorian Horten, and Harper Messmer played amazing and very different concerts to a very crowded coffee house. 

• We also had several group hangouts, one of them being a pink themed party to celebrate AngieBabe's second rez day, and a couple of impromptu geeky madness sessions that just kind of ensue whenever (1) Ariel Wingtips is around or (2) more than three of us find ourselves at the same place looking for something to do. OF COURSE doughnuts, fire, and bubble wrap were involved!

On behalf of the CTRL+Shift+H sim team, I thank you for coming to share our home and our vision for this place, for being fun and supportive friends, and for just letting your geek flag fly high! You guys make this place feel like Home.

party in pink, come see some art!

Join us tonight for another themed Sunday. We are celebrating AngieBabe's second rez day by bringing the pink out of inventories. The party will begin a little early than usual, 7 pm SLT, but feel free to drop in whenever you are ready! Here is your taxi.

In addition, we would like to invite you to take a walk around the sim and see Bone Mosten's art show. He is a resident on our sim and is helping us celebrate Geek Pride Week by sharing his art with us. Please take a copy of the pieces you like. Bone made them free!

sunday nights on the home sim!

Hello homies! I am very happy to reemerge from the darkness of finals week and have time to do some bloggage! As you know, we have been having themed parties on our sim for about a month. They are getting more exciting every week. I have some photos to share with you from the last couple of parties that I did not blog.

On Saturday, May 9, the Home Sim hosted a Baked Goods! party. This was in honor to our baker extraordinaire, Ms. Samantha Kazakov, who both delights and tortures us via Plurk with her amazing creations. People took this theme very seriously, as the photos below show.

Three of the costumes Ariel was able to photograph (nothing was rezzing for me that night!)

Chatty, Fram, Cat, and Sam looking DELICIOUS!

This is a view of the overall chaos that ensued once Ariel showed up!

Sitting on chocolate is not as bad as it looks! Here we are at the end of the party: Owly, Sam, Kay, Chatty, and Cat.

And here are my two favorite photos of the night, and yes, they both involve Foxie! The first one shows him dancing on top of the giant cherry and Fram very relaxed floating on his own damn chair. I believe the phrase was "This cherry has met its match!".

The second one is sneaky Foxie trying to... kill someone? Who knows. It is full of awesome.

Alright! Now we got to the Steam Punk Party! Yay! Kaydence Rodeyn is a new resident on the Home Sim. We like her because she has piggies and is super nice. Also, she and I keep coming up with the same costumes for our themed parties, so she MUST be cool, right? Last night she had us over for a housewaming party/steam punk fun and everyone looked great. Among the best costumes, we have:

Steam punk squirrel gets to go first, of course! :)

 Our hostess: Kaydence Rodeyn

Sam looking awesome in her new teal dress and her... arms.

New exciting things are happening on the sim this week! Stay tuned! :)

Come be our neighbors....

I know I am biased when it comes to these beautiful cottages but LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE!



I know I can speak for all of the lovely owners of Ctrl Shift H when I say that nothing warms our hearts more than hearing someone say that they "love how welcoming our sim is" and how "the atmosphere really makes a difference on their choice of making this place a home."

We worked very hard on our lay out and over all look, but that was the easy part.. our main focus has always been to have a a place you can call HOME.... **A community of like-minded, fun-loving residents, shop owners, and visitors.** (I am serious, its in our covenant!)

A place where neighbors are friends, and visitors feel they belong.

So if you are tired of roaming around lost and alone (awws *too much right?*) come take a look at what these great cottages. Its a beautiful setting around a lake. Peaceful for when you need to relax... but know someone is always close enough to share a cup of coffee or fill your cottage with Pink Flamingos... well because who doesn't love PINK FLAMINGOS



Come visit us at CTRL+SHIFT+H ... the HOME SIM.


(I promise no flamingos were hurt in the making of this blog)
