Dress Codes

 
"Should there be a dress code in places such as school, restaurants, and places of business? Why or why not?"

I think there should be a dress code in place in most places you go to.  At school, I like wearing a uniform, it gives the class a sense of unity, and we still get a lot of room to flex our styles inside of that.  My uniform is good looking too, so it's not like downgrading clothing just to go to school.

In businesses in SL, it's hard to do a dress code aside from not showing any naughty bits, but IRL, there really should be. People shouldn't be going to the store with their butts hanging out of their shorts, like on People of Walmart.  I don't even like it when people go to the store in their PJs because PJs are something you wear in your house and in bed, not outside.  There's a difference between having your own style and just looking trashy, and while having the fashion police running around would be bad, people need to have some sense when they walk out the door.

If I could design a type of ice cream...

 My ice cream would be the best kind in the world.  I would call it MochiCream.  It would be based off of shaved ice with mochi and fruit, like the kind in the picture.  The base would be a sweet cream ice cream, like the type you get at Coldstone.  I'd blend in chunks of mochi, along with azuki beans, sprinkles, strawberries and mango.

My favorite sim

 


My favorite sim in SL no longer exists.  It was Madison Bluffs, where my family used to live.  We moved there after Little Wonders West closed and I fell in love with it as soon as I landed.  It was beautiful, a tiny community with weathered pastel houses and long grass surrounded by gently rolling hills.  There was an orphanage on a farm, a firehouse, a doctors office, a drive in movie theater and my favorite place, a campground.

Sadly, it wasn't too popular and it had to close down.  We moved to a new sim and kept the same house and recreated our own little slice of the sim in the new place.  I still miss that awesome little community.

Things that annoy me

Ohhh gosh, there's so many things which annoy me.  Some are little, like when my sister pokes me and mom won't do anything about it.  Others are big things that annoy me, like when people won't listen to me and just push their points of view on me.  One thing that annoys me because I think it's stupid is when people have really disproportionate shapes.  Your butt shouldn't be like a shelf and little kids don't have huge hips!  Good shapes don't take much effort to make, and it annoys me even more when people sell ugly shapes or give them as freebies because it perpetuates the cycle.

Favorite time of the day

 
I don't really have a favorite time of the day.  There are little moments throughout the day that I really appreciate, when I'm relaxed and the world is quiet and at peace.  Usually these are on the weekends when I get up earlier than everyone else and can just chill out, or late at night, when no one else is awake and I'm able to read in peace.  Other times they're right in the middle of the day, when everyone else is out doing things and I'm left to myself.  Whenever I can catch a moment away from the world, I'm happy.

If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be...

If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to find comfort in your own skin and in being who you are.  We're all weird and flawed and have silly little things about us.  We've all got something we don't like about ourselves, be it mental, physical or ethereal.  These are what make us unique, wonderful human beings.

I sometimes will beat myself up over my flaws.  I know them by heart and they can get really big when I think about them a lot.  When you think a lot about your flaws, they'll just get more powerful and they let other people take power over you.

Even when I feel self-conscious and bad, I try to love myself for everything I am, both the good things about me and the things I need to work on.  When I embrace my flaws and make them part of me, no one can use them to hurt me and I can really love myself.
