Princess Tessy - The Princess Diary - December 2006

December 31 22:09
Wish everyone an extra happy new year. *hugs*

Only two hours left of this year for me, while parts of world get a head start on next year some have to wait even more than me. But now i wont write more here until next year. One thing i did get to work today is, live camera, streaming and probably working for anyone. The old problem with Webcam 32 wich i noticed long ago and found a solution for (i still wonder why on earth software creators dont fix their product?) apparently shows itself in Firefox. But it works now, good i have some memory. So see you next year, well you can see more of me but maybe i get to see some of you too. *hugs*

December 29 18:57
Hmm so the slow best news list inspection doesnt work, i can figure out why its the smtp blocking that is nowadays probably quite common from most bit internet services. Its no problem when sending emails, but i think the little program has to do what is blocked and use smtp to verify if recipients exist or not. Oh well... i go have some hugs anyway.

Because hugs are nice.

And the little program will just get to handle whatever bounced emails come back later anyway and remove addresses that way. It works too, and at least with emails there is no wasted paper or stamps.

December 29 18:52
One useful thing to do after not sending any email news for months, is making the email program sort out all non-existing addresses. There are 3 checks, a very fast simple, a slower better, and a complete check that i sort of remember will take quite a while. But there is no point sending email news to 11282 addresses if 1000 of them are old and not existing anymore. Ofcourse an email box can be abandoned even if it still exists to receive email too, but that isnt something a mail sending program can figure out as far as i know. But it can do something to avoid blindly sending emails, and that is ofcourse why me and hugfriends have it.

I should probably write more email news next year, i just have to figure out what to write in them so it is worth reading.

Think i go hug Mr Bear while that program works and works... i will also try to get webcamera(s) working on computer 2 but that also has the little obstacle of sometimes moving live pictures to computer 1 to put them somewhere. Maybe some hugs will help sort that out.

Later i will see second part out of 3 in some The Triangle adventure tv, about the bermuda triangle and its mysteries. First part was yesterday it was quite good so i will see the rest of things too.

December 29 15:53
Stuffed sea turtles are not that common in the wild, so you had better catch this one while you can.

December 29 15:30
Ooooo i just found two 7 feet tall hugbears, i think they would really want to come here. Having a really biiig bear occupy half the cozy sofa, or probably more than half a bed isnt a worry i would have. I would hug that big bear a lot.

I add a link or something later.

Maybe instead of rescuing such a big bear from a shop (what would FedEx say about shipping it to Sweden? Buy a plane ticked for it?

) maybe it can become a sewing project. The all new sewing project of, waking up a really big huggy hugfriend. That is a really nice thought.

I dont think i will forget it now that i got the idea, it will be in my head until i make it happen.

And i would make my biggie bear 9 feet tall and so big and round and fluffy and huggy... mmm.

But i like small hugbears too, and all colours, and friendly huggable animals too.

You will see. *hugs*

December 29 13:02
After rescuing the recently lost gathering-thread and pinning half the waistline, i ended up here again. I think maybe i better put those sewing things away for next year and find something nice in wardrobe instead. Why? While i am sure my citizens want to admire their Princess wearing something brand new, it does strike me as a bit selfish or thoughtless to put sewing before removing the dust that is all over happy world lately. The dust is blowing away but quite slowly and it should be put before pretty clothes. As it is i may as well be wearing a peasants dress while i am busy trying to help restore happy world.

I like to think of things that way, that me and some first few brave citizens set out to build the happy world, starting with a happy near years evening.

That is sort of how things work anyway, you dont really start building a castle, we need tents or simple homes first to not sleep under trees.

But i made a big room and even if it is not a throne room until there is a throne in it, or a ball room until we had a ball, it will be the heart of the happy world. It will have hugfriends in it, as many as i can squeeze in there. They are all happy and they love company too.

I will build a little simple home too for anyone wanting to sort of, live the story. And i should probably write it. Oh i really have other priorities than getting more pretty clothes...

at least i probably should have for a month or two.

So now its back to webthings, sewing will have to wait for later. I already have clothes. A princess cant have too many pretty clothes ofcourse, but that can wait. *hugs*

Off to try and find my technical computer brain i wonder where i put it... and where is that webmaster garfield i will need his brain too! And i think both Mr Bear and Lady Bear will want to help too any way they can.

December 29 12:13
Today i thought to try and be a bit creative again, so first i did some creative thinking about what i want to get done first. My new red gown, or some webthings and secondlife-things. I think i start with the new red dress because then if i can get webthings working for new years evening, including a live camera picture, i will have something new and nice to wear.

For those that want to get a little head start just click the christmas photo and create your own second life avatar, avatar is apparently the name i prefer to think of avatars as people because each one is.

One thing to note is, there is no need to upgrade to Premium to later become a happy world citizen. Anyone can register a credit card or a verified Paypal to buy the linden moneys.

But as a premium member in that virtual world one gets weekly moneys (300) and it is included the owning of a land plot. It does take time, learning, searching and so to even find clothes one want to wear, hair, jewelry, learning to build things or scripting and many things... so its not a bad idea to say hello in there this year instead of the next.

December 28 19:37
Not much happening today, i think me and hugfriends are a bit unfocused on much. But i think we can be like that rest of year, and start getting more things done and all next year. Next year isnt far away anyway.

Lately i looked in old dusty folders in computer brainy, and while some older memories from internet are sad, there are many nice there too.

I will not be thinking much of the sad ones ofcourse, one important thing to live in a happy world is looking forward to future in a positive way, as positive as possible at any moment anyway.

I forgot emails but will write next time i end up here in computer corner. *hugs*

I write a bit slowly so most times i either write in diary, or do something else like emails, or snooping around the big internet. Well i dont write so slow, but i think a lot and often when i write emails it can take an hour with just one.

December 26 13:14
Hope everyone is having nice days. *hugs*

Here i have been a bit lazy with creativity, but there are other things i do that at least i think are just as important.

That is being positive company this or that way, for those i care about.

I found a very nice land inside SL yesterday, maybe in the future Happy World can look like that, at least partially. I know i should have a castle, for now our headquarter is more of a big room with a garden on the roof. But i was building on it so far today, and it is becoming quite nice.

Now i need some rest with a big cup of tea and some warm hugs but then i will try and figure out some things here or there. The building and actually many things in the future of Happy World will not be just my ideas anyway, so i shouldnt make too long plans. If 10 citizens want something to be created or changed later, they will have 10 voices and even if i have the last word on anything i will usually have no reason not to listen to opinions. *hugs*

But we need a garden to sit and chat in, and a big room for whatever. Rest is really up to the future, and it is almost the same with webthings.

Thank you to those who sent christmas emails.

I will return to computer corner after me and Mr Bear had some lazy moment and write back.

December 23 15:25
There, one of my favourite christmas photos it doesnt have me in it but has a happy Mr Bear.

And it just looks so nice, and it has our little sparkling christmas tree in it also.

December 22 12:10
I managed to get hold of some affordable land and started building a little this morning, at least some floors but its best to plan before i do much more.

Today i better go get some more yummy christmas things to eat over weekend, and maybe best to go now because i think as usual food shops will be very very crowded day before christmas eve. Its a difference i think, here we wait for christmas eve others wait for the christmas day. But anyway i should also find energy to do some webthings updates or building in the second life later today also.

So there may not be any christmas special in second life this year there just is no time. But i will be in there when i can to keep any Citizen company over holidays. *hugs*

And perhaps things are more ready when its time to sneak into a new happy year.

December 21 14:31
Oh shopping for virtual land is difficult now. Ofcourse there is the prices to look at, but i dont think the Happy World land pieces should be on some area named something weird. And it could be nice if the piece ment for a nice garden and sort of hang around area has a nice view too. But just as i knew things would be... i stumbled on two somewhat cheap land plots of 512 square meters, in the same area too wich they have to be to count for 'prims' in that area but i will write about those things for new friends later.

Anyway, one plot had already been bought when i got to it, hopefully by someone who just like me wanted to build on it. The other plot? Bought by a land speculator for 7500 moneys to try and sell it onwards for 7990 moneys. Its that kind of business that ruins the prices on virtual land, wich is basically needed to put things you create down somewhere. If i am lucky i might still be eligible for a 'first land' plot wich only costs 512 moneys.

I will still need two plots but getting one cheap will make Mr Bear happy he cares about economics and because he cares i do too. *hugs*

December 21 12:55
Oh no poor Mr Bear. *hugs* He got a bit grumpy now, i had to tell him the bank changed an old policy and now something costs 500% more to do. Not going to bother the diary about it, but it was stupid. Maybe it was just the man working at the bank who didnt recognise me but i can say this... i will help Mr Bear get around the obstacle, and we might switch banks too just to show them we dont like being treated like anything but, valueable customers.

But anyway i managed to find those tiny batteries for the calculator so now i can calculate again when i have to.

And if the batteries were small the screws to replace them were just microscopic, but i had a mini screwdriver thingy from putting a new batter in the online banking thingy. So it worked fine. I am a bit used to tiny things too from sewing so...

Now maybe i go snoop for land to start building the Happy World on, or at least the part of the world that we can sit around at and talk, admire the sky, listen to music or whatever.

December 21 07:40
Good morning. *hugs*

I have already been awake a while but now is a good time to have breakfast, and maybe write a little here too. Christmas isnt far away, and since i want to open our little castle for visitors through live camera before then i better have a busy day today.

Not a stressful day like i know many have before this weekend, but at least a busy one.

I noticed lately when returning into the SL world that land prices are just way pricey nowadays. There are several reasons for that, the main one being greedy 'land barons' working hard on profiteering on land sales. So in that way, the virtual world is just like the real world.

One little obstacle is that my new thinking that i shouldnt pay for all of this instead Citizens really should, it wont work to start things inside the virtual world. So i will go snoop for some virtual land today. Me and Mr Bear figure that even if we will just be a few happy Citizens with a happy Princess, and a happy Mr Bear and a happy... well a happy everyone.

Anyway, even if it is silly to spend upwards of 100$ buying a rather small piece of land to build things on, i figure eventually we will all end up sharing the costs anyway. *hugs*

The thing is, Happy World has to start somewhere. It can start small, and give the virtual land prices it really should start small. But if we end up many, obviously Mr Bear will say when its ok to get more land and create more things in there.

I have also studied a little phenomenon inside there, and will create my own. What is it about? Its about earning linden moneys, wich is ofcourse real money too depending on the value. Since every Citizen has to pay their taxes (3000 linden dollars a month) i am going to create a special little task that will earn a Citizen 3000 linden moneys. That is only for happy citizens nobody else get to earn easy moneys.

I will see about doing something similar with other things, there will be ways to earn the taxes or part of it in the future, for those that want to. *hugs*

Ofcourse donations will be welcome too but while 10 dollars a month isnt a lot to many people, to some it is. And i think about everyone. *hugs*

So anyway today... have to visit the bank, find a battery for the little calculator, bring home some yummy things for weekend, and quite important also... sit in computer corner and do something useful.

I am sorry if some think i neglected things around here a long time. I realise i have, but its going to change. *hugs*

December 19 15:04
Today should be more normal hours finally.

At least i waked up really early, then went back to bet to wake up again before lunch hours... I decided to resume sewing to stay busy today, but a bad start kind of made me not want to bother today. My new red gown is a rather old sewing project i left half done, so today i saw i should resume putting it together where the gathered skirt meets the bodice. Well... that is a somewhat annoying part to do i think. But anyway, i pulled on some gathering threads, they are sewn in just to create evenly distributed wrinkles sort of. But i had obviously forgotten to make a knot on one end of the one i resumed pinning for later sewing together. And after i wondered a bit why pulling on the threads first made nice gathers, but when i was going to start pinning them things went flat, so i pulled some more, and so on... well then i looked, and bad luck too, the ends of gathering threads had just started dissapearing from the end of the part i was working on. Now that will be annoying to have to redo, putting in new gathering threads in the middle of supposedly pinning it all and getting it sewn together. Being a bit out of energy this month i have almost decided i can wear pink over Christmas instead. At least i will if i cant get the new clothes done before weekend. So today i leave sewing things all over table and do something else, maybe webthings.

Sewing i will continue tomorrow or something, now i just dont want to touch those things after the bad start.

December 17 14:33
I think slowly sleeping habits are going towards normal again. But i decided not to worry too much about it anymore, at least yesterday i was awake most of the day wich was what i want. If i fall asleep 19 in evening and miss all evening tv that isnt really worth worrying about...

There is fun tv in the days instead. I watched several episodes of Beauty and the Geek lately it has been fun sometimes but also does show many things each of those 'sides' often dont know about eachother. So between the fun it also has useful things to share.

Anyway i havent got any sewing done thought i would be doing that yesterday, then i thought today... now i think, maybe i just hug Mr Bear lots and try to be up to midnight for a last move towards normal days.

Webthings will get updatings before Christmas, its just that december month is one we want to have worry free, extra full of hugs and nice times. So there isnt much left for worries about either sleeping hours or webthings. I just wont stress myself over anything. Everything will fall into place soon enough. *hugs*

December 15 15:49
So far so good.

I baked the nice soft cookies, and also brought up the little sparkling christmas tree finally. Its just too bad after eating some newly baked cookies i got a bit lazy, and it is getting dark so no sewing today. I will save that for tomorrow and hope to get most of it done then. Now i just have to try and make sure i dont get so sleepy i feel i have to go to bed. Not before a normal evening anyway, at least 6 more hours to go what can i do to stay awake. I think i eat some more cookies and watch discovery tv channel or something else funny. Computer corner has to wait for later times. Me and hugfriends like discovery tv its often interesting. Lately we saw how they make money, the happy world should have its own coins with smiles on them.

And paper notes with Mr Bear would be so nice too.

I think we will have to be ok with swedish moneys, dollars, and linden moneys though. I also saw about a real dollar, the liberty dollar wich seems like the e-gold currency. Mr Bear and me like currency that is backed by some real value, because paper money in general nowadays apparently isnt. In old times i think they made coins from the precious metals, wich made them worth what they were. Then it went to cheaper coins and notes, that were representing a value a government had stored in big safe vaults as gold bars and such. Nowadays that isnt how things work i learned, so basically... moneys are not worth much more than the cheap metals or paper they are printed on. Kind of scary if you think about it, if the world economy would collapse i wonder how on earth things would work. Maybe then we could buy a potato from someone who has a potato, with a hug.

Well that is the positive way to hope such a catastrophy might end up, the worse scenarios i wont bother writing about here. Not now anyway, this is the nice happy december month.

Wich isnt so different from the nice happy november or any other month. Hope everyone has nice days. *hugs*

December 15 12:15
Another day to try and make normal, bedtime was 4 in night waked up 9. Maybe it works this time i sure hope so i am almost prepared to give up trying to correct sleeping hours.

December isnt the month i want any worries, i should have just not cared about it but it is nicer to be awake in days especially in winter when there is so little daylight from sun.

Today i have helped my maids do some cleaning so we have it nice and clean here for second half of december.

And i will bake some nice yummy chocolate cookies it was long since i did them but we all like them here in the castle.

And since i missed daylight lately i will maybe get some sewing done today too i really have to get it done, there will be no live camera until my new red december gown is wearable.

December 13 13:42
Where did Lost go no episode last week, none this evening. I hope it isnt moved and i didnt find out. Anyway now i managed to get to bed 4 in night, waked up before 9 but i was hoping to sort of be awake long enough to see Lost then sleep. For some reason i am sleepy already it has to be because i got stuck sleeping in days being up in nights, brain believes this is after midnight. But i hope that can be shifted around properly. The silly thing is if i hadnt started trying to correct sleeping hours, maybe they had gotten normal without trying. Now i try lots and it is just annoying... oh well, i better keep myself busy somehow today. I dont think i should sit in computer corner though, that will just make me lazy sooner or later.

December 12 23:24
I fell asleep again in late afternoon. So now i try what really should work but for some reason didnt the last times i tried... stay up maybe 3 hours then go back to bed, and get up between 6-9 hopefully nearer 9 so i wont have any problem being awake tomorrow until around normal evening hours.

Well that should work, since i will have slept some hours extra, but it seems for some reason when sleep is confused it might just not help. Another thing is if i stop caring about when i am awake, i would have one less worry. One less worry is usually good.

But now i want to have normal hours and sleep 8-12 hours during night, not some hours here and there or just sort of when i get tired enough. I dont plan to get too early morning habits though.

Why? Well because i want to be awake at least during US early evening hours. I know some happy world citizens will be immigrating from there. *hugs*

Another thing well, south west coast area of Sweden is apparently drowning lately soo much rain. And where is our snow? Hmm. My digital camera is a bit weird sometimes it gives up working, but i have recharged batteries since yesterday so should work i can go find some photo outside. And maybe soon to follow also something with me and hugfriends in front of camera too.

December 12 00:58
Hmm even the hugfriends are confused with their sleeping hours now poor them. I guess they mostly sleep when i do, because they want to be awake when i am. *hugs*

So i just couldnt stay awake after 19 in evening, i waked up a while ago. What does that make this hour just after midnight, morning, midnight, or is it just whatever is after a 5 or so hour long nap...

i find this very annoying. I want to go back to bed and sleep until 6 in morning or something like that, but i know it will be almost impossible to fall asleep now. This is just sooooo annoying. I will try to be up just a while, then sleep just a little, then have a normal day. But i tried that more than once the last weeks...

December 11 18:03
Still confusing sleeping hours, it really annoys me and i get nothing useful done. But so far today i managed to not go to bed and sleep, if i can just keep myself awake at least 3 more hours...

well 4-6 hours more would be normal i guess. If that works i am quite sure tomorrow i will get things done i thought i would in weekend.

I wont ask hugfriends to help me not sleep this time since they dont really want to see me tired. But i think with some willpower i can do it on my own.

December 08 22:36
Oh no the hugfriends didnt keep me awake in the day. I think it is one of the few things they dont help with well, its because when they see me sleepy they think i should sleep.

Its the same way i think if i see a tired friend, they should rest. Oh well, now i better choose either i stay up until i get tired again wich might be around lunch hours...

or i am awake a few hours then try to sleep just a little and get up around a more normal morning. Its not really all that important, maybe hours get normal by themselves some day. I just hope its someday soon.

December 08 12:37
Think i have a mostly lazy day anyway. Me and hugbears like to snoop on the Discovery tv channel sometimes we have one that is a mix of all of them sort of. So sometimes we see how things are made, or animal programs, or the travel channel or science.

Not very interesting to see how asphalt for roads is made, but marhmallow cookies being made was yummy, and then i saw how those keycard door things in hotels are made too.

Much is rather unimportant knowledge for me to stuff into the head but can be interesting anyway sometimes.

Oh and apparently the Discovery space shuttle didnt get launched i had forgotten but there is a swedish astronaut going up to that space station this time. So i watched a bit on the tv about it this very early morning and so.

Was too much clouds i think, so they try in two days time. Hmm and good for Mr Bear we got a new battery for the little internet banking code thingy. Wasnt so great monday or tuesday when i was going to help Mr Bear enter something we have to pay for, and it said to get a new battery. Good thing bank had a link to special battery service and a new got here now. Wonder if not paying some things because of no battery is ok... probably not.

Anyway i see what ends of with today, weather is supposed to be mostly rainy snowy and windy or some such today in all of Sweden so staying inside sharing warm hugs could be a nice idea. I can perhaps do some things outside tomorrow instead.

And for those of you wanting to visit us through a little live camera, i plan to get that back on Sunday one way or another. Welcome to the cozy sofa then. *hugs*

December 08 02:20
Late diary writing, or is it really late? I just waked up.

I havent been able to get sleeping hours normal in several days. I tried sleeping extra much, avoiding sleep half an extra days worth, nothing makes me wake up from like 6-10 in the morning. Now i will try again after sleeping extra much, i pretend 2 in the night is a very early morning. So no bedtime until evening for me, i hope all the hugfriends here in the little castle help me with that.

Plan for the day, well after sun comes up anyway... is cleaning up a little, try to finish the sewing i have to do this week, some cooking maybe would be a good idea also, i could go food shopping too if weather is nice. And in evening maybe time for homepage things.

I better not sit down for long times of lazy hugs today, or staying awake and creative until a normal evening might be difficult. Warm nice hugs often end up feeling lazy and sleepy, wich is nice, but not today.

Guess i better find some breakfast now then... and wait for morning tv perhaps, those lazy bums who start morning tv with news and such at 6 arent awake yet. *giggles*

December 05 22:07
Not much done today, me and hugbears mostly rested so far and i think we better try and continue that all night too.

I dont want to end up being up at nights and sleeping in the days again, that is what i try to get away from. To me it is well known being a lot easier to shift hours towards staying up later and later than getting hours back in some order. But all it takes is a lot of trying one way or another. And then being careful to not get weird sleeping hours again.

Besides there isnt really anything wrong with resting. Some say that is just being lazy, but another way to look at it is... gathering energy for later creativity. Wich isnt a bad thing at all.

So if you feel a need to be lazy sometimes it is perfectly ok. *hugs*

Even the lazy garfield cats here may be lazy all they want, i know they just gather energy to eat more when they actually wake up and do something. *giggles*

Lets just hope the little garfield webmaster also saves up some energy to help me rest of this month.

December 04 21:23
I have to say the Bullshit show with Penn and Teller is quite funny.

It can also be a bit upsetting because it shows some of the... hmm well, bullshit going on in the world. But they make it fun to watch.

December 04 09:06
Today i will try to figure out the technical things that will help Mr Bear return to his tax collecting job on the comfy green pillow.

I started tonight because i couldnt sleep, but i left rest for today because those are tricky things.

Now i start day with warm hugs in our comfy bed, while we watch travel channel with a program from freezing sibiria. Well it is about russia i think but now they are in the very cold north.

December 02 14:29
I am a bit late resuming webthings, but December will be the month i get back to what i should be doing more so than other things.

It should be a good month to get some order in homepage and things, after so much time with nothing much being updated or changing. I have thought lately it was kind of a bad idea of me to delete old pages when i decided to make some changes. And then i didnt get to add much of anything back. I dont even remember how long things have slowly been gathering dust here in the internet world, but soon things will be waking up again. *hugs*

I am just trying lately to get my sleeping hours back to normal, i ended up sleeping in days being awake in nights and that just isnt good. In summer when it is much light i dont mind much, but now in dark winter the little daylight and sunshine there is... i want to see it. And i want daylight when i am sewing, and i have to finish something new before i let you visit us here in the castle again. Well visit through the little camera or cameras, but that is the best me and hugfriends here can do.

And all nice positive people are welcome to us, we dont mind if a hundred people try to squeeze into our cozy sofa in the evenings.

And i dont mind getting many goodnight hugs either, both from hugbears and happy world citizens. *hugs*

Now i go share some hugs with Mr Bear and Lady Bear we should also start thinking about what extra yummy eatables we want this month.

I know we will want chocolates, and the special big green jelly candies.

And the special christmas soda, and i think we will have a little christmas food in weekends before Christmas too. Not this weekend but next, why save all the food for just a few days. It is nicer to spread positive things our over more days i think.

Wich is why i dont wait for Christmas very much, we have a whole nice month instead. And we dont even look at all the advertising about buying this or that and those things and those things and those things for christmas gifts.

The nicest gifts we know here are friendly hugs.

And nice food.

And just trying extra much to think positively and be happy.

Oh and candles but those are nice all of the dark winter days.

Today or tomorrow i will go bring up our little christmas tree friend too.
