It started nice and simply with some inventory sorting. We've all done this - we all hate this, but true to form you usually end up with the most amazing things. As I write this, I'm sitting on a sun lounger in a room filled with assorted rubbish, which includes 2 little aliens, a skateboarding teddy bear, a talking welcome mat, some torches, lots of blue flashing lights, and something that can only be described as a very large dog's bone! I had to take the pogo stick back after it ended up stuck in the ceiling.
I first found some roller skates - which I had to try to see if they were any good. These things were massive! I tried editing them, but they wouldn't reduce, so first of all I have those. Next up I found some clothing, so on went a rather small swimming costume. Quite convenient, because I also found water bombs, and of course before you delete stuff from your inventory, you have to check it. Mael was sitting in his meditation pod, which works as a good shield against water bombs, He decided to rez K-9 - who stunned me. I then found my lemming launcher, and attempted to stun K-9. Unfortunately, I was on roller skates, so every time I fired the thing I shot backwards. Except for the final time, when the lemming bounced back, and I went straight up and through the roof. I initially thought I would land on the roof - which I did. Thanks to the shape of it however, I slid straight off it.
We were at 3500m, so I'm only grateful that we always land with a thud but we're ok. I put my jetpack on but the button to fly was blanked out, so that wasn't much help. So we now have a mad woman in a small swimming costume and over large rolling skates and holding a lemming launcher - plummeting through the sky. I could only hope there was no one underneath. Mael was a great help and commented in im 'oops'. No tp back just -'oops'. I was in stitches as it was, and when I hit my neighbours parcel it got worse. They have these womderful ban lines, and as I hit 150m I hit the ban lines and bounced back up! I then hit them again and back up - just like an invisible trampoline in the sky. Somehow I managed to stop laughing long enough to push myself forwards on the bounce, and ended up on the roof of our balloon house - which I promptly fell off and slid down as well. To make matters worse, when I hit the ground someone was driving a bike round it, and must have witnessed it for themselves.
Me feeling very grateful that a fall of 3500m doesn't do us much harm and somehow wishing I didn't look quite so stupid!
Mael then decided to come down in the tardis, so I let him have it with the Lemming gun. Did I mention I was on roller skates? Mael and the Tardis remained intact - I shot backwards with such force that I went straight through our garden wall, rolled down a bank, and ended up in the middle of a parcel for sale!
Now I'm sure many of you have had some jolly old times with those inventories - but only on SL can a chore which seems so boring, become the thing that has tears of laughter rolling down your cheeks. I've said it before, I'll say it again - SL can bring you down, but it can also put you right back up again. When I resumed my inventory cleaning I was asked ' Why are you wearing a gas mask?' Well - it was in my inventory - why else!
