Stupid Mistakes

Well.....I'm stupid......at least sometimes. Did All this testing with my suit and missed one serious mistake. Instead of putting the NoRecieveIM script in my hood I put the NoSendIM script in it. Of course, when I realized that I was able to recieve IMs my keyholder was offline and I couldn't do anything against it. At least I was still unable to see the normal chat. I had to wait till she was back on to be able to find out what I did wrong and change that. So the first evening and part of my first day in Isolation I wasn't nearly as isolated as I wanted to be. Crap.... Well, as punishment for my little mistake and for having to unlock my suit I was sentenced for two additional days. ;) I'm not really sure if I should be happy about my mistake or not atm.
Ok, so my first day was quite nice to say the truth. I am able to tp around and see all the nice places I always wanted to visit but never had the time before. Now I can't chat with friends, I can't work on my castle or improve my park, no way to build stuff......! Well...it was like a nice vacation from all my duties. Of course I still got IMs so I didn't feel the isolation as much as intended. I've seen lots of nice and wonderfully designed sims and got loads of ideas to improve my own home now. ;) Even more to do now when I'm out of my isolation. Of course, being unable to see the chat around me or answering can get a bit on your nerves, but luckily most of my friends weren't online, so I was spared to see them try to talk with me or see their IMs. I think, that's going to be the hardest part, seeing them online and knowing they want to talk with me, interact with me, but being unable to do so. I'll find out soon enough. One thing I really hated was all the people goggling at me, pointing their fingers at the crazed out latex girl....at least that's what I think they do. I can't hear them, I can only imagine what they say and think. Being unable to hear can be a salvation or a curse, depending on the circumstances. Sometimes what you make up in your mind is so much more nasty than what happens in reality.
Another thing I'll stop doing during my isolation is window-shopping. I went to one of my fav malls to see if there's something new and interesting. Well....crap....I've seen tons of stuff I'd like to buy. You know, I'm a bit addicted to shopping in SL, and it's most definitely not enjoyable to walk through a mall with great new stuff if you can't buy something. I was itching to lay my hands on some stylish new corset or tons of other stuff. Ughh.....! I just hope Marine finishes her Custodian soon, that will at least prevent me from entering buildings and doing frustrating window-shopping trips.

More of my isolation later or tomorrow.

Hi Joa,
you have no idea how baffled I was when I got my first IMs in the suit. ;)
