Back?

March 10, 2010
I relapsed big time and logged in, build some stuff, had my creative jerkoff. Plenty of people are/were kind and I am grateful for that.

RL?

RL is quite of a strange thing. It has ups and downs. I just started a new job where I am taking care of a beautiful lady who survived a stroke at 40. I figured my social quirkiness, goofiness and creativity may contribute something to someone alive...It's something I've realized I had been missing since my husband died. Good thing I can fold t-shirts and spell since this lady is quite educated and needs me to type email for her as she had lost most of her left side of the body function.

My hands are now hers. It's much more rewarding than Second Life in many ways. Again, speaking of Second Life....am I back? I don't know....I logged in and made some stuff. I am not subscribing myself to anything anymore.
 

Human Supremacy

February 15, 2010
I was taken to a shopping place that had actual taxidermied animals as decor. The "Great American Hunting Tradition" store where human males and females with great balls (whether figurative or actual) go to satiate their subconscious need to feel potent and in charge of something and spend money on inventory which is 95% made of plastic and is for one time use. (*big self satisfying grin*)

I was taken in there and felt utmost disgust for the fact that there is actually a whole cultural identit...

The Cult I am in.....

December 30, 2009
This is somewhat of a continuation of the previous blog post. So, read back if you haven't read it - this blog will make more sense. 
So, upon returning from the xmas dinner - my roommate and I had a discussion in the car about how people center their traditions around bad food which evolved into both of us reminding ourselves and each other about how we would like to trim down a bit. Now- my roommate is in an excellent shape and decent health except that he has put on perhaps some 10 pounds w...

Oh the stupidity of traditional celebration and the mutation of aforementioned.

December 25, 2009
I just feel terribly stupid. STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!

Let me start from the beginning.

I was invited to my friends house for Xmas celebration evening. This was exciting, and fun, and something to look forward to as I dearly love my friends. So that's that. (Other than that I couldn't care less about the whole Xmas deal). Now - 

I took it upon myself to contribute to the dinner and the food offer by making a traditional winter dish my mom used to make every winter (Sarma - cabbage rolls) and ...

What do I do with you?

December 20, 2009
It's been a couple of months since I have posted my last blog on my departure from SL. I have gotten an overwhelming response from people secretly wishing to do the same thing but saying they lack the strength. I have not been identifying myself with Eshi Otawara the avatar and I feel a huge burden lifted off of me. Eshi Otawara trademark (call it that) still exists very much so, and there is stuff being created and signed as by Eshi Otawara. I am simply not addicted to the avatar anymore and...

What's With Eshi?

October 17, 2009

My name is Irena Morris. I am the person who created the avatar Eshi
Otawara and the person who allowed Eshi Otawara to evolve into a part
of my life and - apparently - many other lives. It took just about 3
years to bring Eshi from a no name newbie avatar club employee to Eshi
Otawara the artist, the brand, the dramatic little virtual diva who
not only acquired a sea of friends but even fans. They were 3 exciting
years of evolution with a climax I never imagined possible and many
quirks in-between...
