So last night I spent a little time “Playing with Dolls” as a good friend of mine (not a SLer) calls it.  Basically this means simply flying around the grid and buying clothes and trying on new Neko ears, trying to find new places to hang out,  and that sort of thing.  I have to carve out my own Doll time, especially in times like this when I am working on projects that I do not feel like I can announce yet (maybe in a week or two?) but consume a lot of my SL time and I am busy in RL.

Doll time is not time that I am always good at providing myself, but it is something I always miss.  This is the time that allows me to step back and go ‘oh, right, this is why SL is so great and I stick with it’, and it also reminds me that SL is, at its heart, a time to relax and decompress.
