I wonder if I'm the only crazy that does this.. but I doubt it.
Every time I TP somewhere, be it a club, gallery, store, or even a friend's house...I'm always curious. First thing I do is look at the About Land window.. For some reason it comforts me to know the size of the land, how many prims they are using, what estate they are on, etc.. And I always get a chuckle out of the ban list, I swear you can find a list of winning names on there. LOL
Another curiosity, other forums always have the 'whats in your pockets' thread.... So what's you fave item, how much dough do you roll with, whats your arc score, how often do you change clothes, um.. how many #'s are in your black book of avie's.. lol
My fave item is my fedora or my superhero knickers.. I sport like 30k in cash for emergencies but am reluctant to spend every 100, I dunno my arc score, I never change and my sweater prolly stinks, and I have too many #'s to keep track of.. LOL JK

OOH I get to talk about myself.... lol
TO be honnest, I just look around, I never read the about land window or anything.
Let's see.... I change every once in a while... I have about 1k on average. (Yeah, I'm poor), I'd say I have about 10-15 people on my list (one of them being my alt so 9-14 sort of). My favorite item is this little blue glowing light orb I made. I usually wear it on my hand. Maybe when I stop being lazy, I'll put a partical effect on it.
I normally just fly around and stuff and take little fraps vids of things.... now if only I could get a perfect framerate.....

I *always* read profiles and check about land.
I never wear anything, have more money than I know what to do with and devote most of my time in sl to being lazy and doing nothing.
My favourite thing is probably my theodolite.
Oh yeah I had to buy another quarter sim because my ego is so big it wouldn't fit in one sim...
I too have no idea what this post is about I just like talking about myself.

Sometimes i check About Land while i'm waiting for things to rez, which is most of the time just lately lol. My fave item is my soulmate Claddagh ring, my partner has one too and it never leaves our fingers  Cash I usually carry around 1k-2k, I don't know what my arc score is personally, but I overheard some folks tut-tutting cos it was 52, which from what i've heard is actually quite low. I change clothes at least once a day, generally cos I can never decide what to wear so swap about a lot. My friends list is hovering around 70-80 I think, maybe five or ten of them I actually talk to regularly. And that's about it. Next!

Fave item: the Thinc book my inworld mommy made me. Runners up: my locket. My hair. My Mystitool. Bear Bear. 2. Enough. It fluctuates. I'll mever tell  3. 1700, plus or minus. That hair of mine is pretty high, but I'm not gona change it. 4. I change clothes at least twice a day. My outfit for the day, and my jammies. Sometimes I'll have to change for specific reasons -- souts, school, or other weather or activity related reasons. 5. If you mean my friend's list, it's around 300+ names nowadays. (I rarely check about land, and will usually only read profiles if I have a reason: an interesting avatar, someone causing trouble, etc.)

When I go out and about I read profiles. I even go through the profiles of the people on my friends list when I am sitting around home, as a way to catch up with what might be going on with them.
I change my clothes anywhere from several times a day to one time every several days.
Hmmm...favorite thing at the moment would be some great new shoes I got for the summer. Wedges with ribbons and bows around the ankles. Other than that would be pictures I have in my inventory, sculpted trees and my land.

What's it got in its pocketses? I do actually have The One Ring I picked up somewhere. It's how I learned what full bright was. I tend to keep around L$5k just so I'm ready when rent time rolls around. My fave things are the avatars I've been making lately, but for purchased items it would have to be some shoes I like to wear. Maybe I'm a woman playing a man..... There are probably fewer than ten avatars I really feel I know at all and even fewer than that on my friends list. I friend very few people, but enjoy the company of almost all I meet  Last time I checked my ARC was around 250 but I save a lot in the hair department I change outfits as appropriate for where I am and what I'm doing. Or just on a whim.

1. Fav things, ...My wedding ring, my bichon (Lovey), My hair collection, My mysti tool...the list is long lol.
2. Usually about 10,000 or so.
3. I have no idea, would love to know but I don't have the new release candidate
4. About once a day...I dress to my mood. Sneakers, jeans and a ponytail or could be dressy.
5. My friends list is about 10 - 15. Just close friends that I talk to weekly.
I love to fly around and check out land, see who owns them and what they have in their profiles. I love to check picks in profiles, find a lot of neat places that way. I also use the note page a lot for avatars I meet so I know where I met them and what shared interests we talked about. I can remember numbers but forget about names, I can barely remember my own lol.

First of all, speaking of Peeps, which I adore - is there a Peeps Sim? If not, someone really should make one. If I had the ability I would, but I can't build at all. My brain goes wild with the images of things one can do with Peeps inworld! Dough? Fluctuates. The other week I had $70000L sitting there, but moved most of it out. Then back in again to buy the parcel next door. That ate most of it up again. Right now I only have about $500L sitting inworld, but I have about $7000L safely sitting in reserve to move at a moments notice - plus my stipends from 2 of my Premium members each week. I don't sweat the money - if I run out, I just put in whatever I feel comfortable with. I have NO idea what my arc score is, nor do I care! I change clothing depending on mood or need. Somedays, I change several times. Like, if I'm taking photos for instance, or bought a large amount of clothing and want to see exactly what it looks like (freebies will do that to ya!). Or, obviously if I have several places I'm going and they require different attire. Other times, I might wear the same outfit a couple of days in a row if I'm not up to much. Right now, I've been wearing the same outfit for 3 days, because I haven't been inworld much and nobody has seen me My black book is very slim. I'm quite picky about who I add to my friends list. I have about 20 people on it? I don't think much more than that. Takes me a while to consider someone a friend. I only want people there that I truly enjoy talking with, or really might need to have contact with for other reasons. As for favorite items, for sure it's my diamond necklace and earrings that were a gift to me this past Christmas. Aside from the sentimental value, they are understated elegance and seem to go with nearly everything I wear. I'm not into "bling" at all - hate it in fact but this doesn't seem blingy to me. I almost never take them off, unless I'm wearing something which really deems it ridiculous - like some punk rock/goth outfit (I might even keep the earrings on for that if I have really long hair on and you can't see my ears). And no girl should be without good diamond jewelry Oh - and I'm always reading profiles, and even read the "about land" at times too. I'm just full of curiousity!

I love to check peoples About Land. Especially when I’ve helped a noob with setting up their first piece of land then see their prim count evaporate under furniture and wall art. Then they IM me later because they cant get their cool new (insert prim heavy item here) to rez. My favorite item is my HolyTrifecta poking stick thingie…just because its fun to poke ppl with it. And my tribal tattoos. I feel naked without them. I may change every other day unless there is an event that would call for something specific to be worn. I usually spread my $Ls around between my alts (except I’ve had to keep my eye on one of them. She’s burned through about $L10000 in less then a month). I’ve got $L16000 on me now. I have a in-world job folks. Last time I checked my ARC score was like over 1800 because of the scripted D2TK cowboy boots I wear. And I have 12 ppl in my Friends list who’s name starts with ‘S’.

I do check the about land tab a lot, I like to see how many prims people use to construct things, plus I like to know if I'm on a no build/no entry/no script paranoid land. I read the profiles of everyone around me usually. I cam around.
I change clothes whenever I feel like it, usually every other day or something, or if I'm going somewhere where different attire would be appropriate.
Item I can't live without is my mysti-tool....always have that on. I usually have my graphics settings really really low, everything turned off except lights. low terrain, low draw distance, minimum particles...flexi and object turned down low too. It keeps my lag way down and if I go to a place that I want to explore the scenery then I will turn them up and I usually go full out high quality when taking photos.
I have about 50K L in my account now, I freak out if it drops below 20K. I always cash some out when it comes time for tier and account billing, I'm on the quarterly billing cycle. I have about 15 people on my friends list, I prune it often. Inventory is at about 8k, I try to keep it very organized.
And I really hate marshmallow peeps, yuck!
I think thats all.

Read profiles all the time, About Land quite often.
Usually wear the same basic outfit, but it evolves over time I might change the shirt one day, or the trousers the next, but pretty much keep to two or three of each item, unless I'm going somewhere or doing something specific that I don't think my usual look suits, or I decide to be tiny or a dragon or whatever for the day.
ARC is usually around 1400, mainly hair and beard, although I have a very nice hat that adds 3600 on its own!
Favourite items - my wedding ring (one year tomorrow!), my Mysti-Tool, my tattoos, my beard, my Shiny Things old brown boots.
Money -usually buy an extra L$5K when I get the month's rent which pretty well lasts me the month. Keep an extra L$5K in SLX most of the time as reserve.
About 30 on my friends list, but if I take out my alts, and the alts of friends, down to about 20, and I could easily prune that to 10 if I took out those I haven't spoken to for months.
And I have no idea what Peeps are.

Hmm, Don't know what my ARC is. I was mistaken, Peeps are not made by Elmers Chocolate but Heavenly Hash and Goldbrick Eggs are.  I check profiles as a habit. I also check land info usually to verify the shop owners. I try to change everyday. But I am not successful at it. I love the Mysti-Tool and ZHAO-II AO device. I also have a TAZ Anti-Thrasher that lets me fly to any altitude. One of the first gifts given to me when I joined 2L. I recently got my frist Bling a cool Rolex watch also a gift. Gifts mean a great deal to me more than stuff I buy for myself. I alway have a towel, a bit of pocket fluff and my peril sensitive sunglasses handy. I try to keep between 2 - 12K on me. I like to have back up for presents and such. I like talking about myself as well. But be careful, the dullness rubs off. "CX"

I often read profiles, and I'm disappointed when I find them empty. Especially if the account is more than six weeks old. I don't look at land so much unless I'm thinking of moving into the area.
I change outfits often, and hair to match. More than once a day, usually.
Not checked my ARC yet, but I'm guessing low average for my usual outfits, rising to insane for the primmy glowy flexi sculpty ones.
Money... NOYB. But I'm a spendthrift, so if I accumulate more than L$1000 I wire it to my alt for safekeeping. If I can't see it, I'm less likely to spend it.
Favourite stuff... My flight feather, which is more an essential than a favourite. Silly things that friends have made for me. My Pornstar chucks hi-top clones.
Friends... 36, not counting alts. But about 12 good friends.
We don't get peeps in the UK, but I suspect I'd like them.

They are basically marshmallows shaped like baby chickens that are coated in bright colored sugar with eyeballs painted on them. I think they've been the #1 selling easter candy for 50 years or more. (I saw it on How It's Made).

LOL great idea, I'd hang out there on fluffy yelllow sugar pillows. And I didnt even think of the inventory. I have around 5k and always clean it out coz I'm afraid its gonna max out. I just wish the groups could grow, I dont want to miss any events, so I keep it maxed out.

My favorite item cannot be mentioned here. I don't have any money,my mean alt takes it all so I don't spend it on male strippers and booze. So I usually only have about 2k or less on me most of the time. No idea what my arc score is,but I think a couple of people have told me about 2k. I change every morning, sometimes a couple more times if I am going to certain places. I have 43 people on my friends list.

I'm always reading profiles and about land. My favorites is to pull up profiles of people on land-ban lists. (^_^)
1. My armclaw. No matter what I'm wearing, even nothing at all, the armclaw stays. I don't even know why, it just the biggest part of me second to my inflated ego. (^_^)
2. What ever I can leech off of contests and competitions. Maybe I'll sell something or charge for a build once in a while, but not often. I don't camp. (=_=)
3. I'm usually in the high 600s. I WANT to be over 2000 but I can't find enough NICE LOOKING attachments to accomplish it. (^_^)
4. Almost hourly if you ask the people that know me... But... Really... About *pfmmfmpf* times a day. (^_^)
5. I kinda butchered my friends list lately.... So now? .... 8. (=_=)y

1) Fave item is definitely my shape, which took forever to tweak until I was happy with it... And yes, I made it myself  2) A few hundred usually... I set a budget for the month and stick to that... when it's gone it's gone. Fortunately, I am a freebie-holic - as in RL, so in SL. 3) About 650-700, including all jewellery / hair / shoes. 4) I change clothes nearly every day, but sometimes if I find an outfit I really like, it stays on a while. I rarely wear the same thing twice...which shows you how many clothing items I have! 5) About 25 people I frequently contact, and another 10 or so who are people I want to keep in touch with, but don't speak to regularly.

odd thread. i always check profiles, it's a bad habbit  it's first thing i do when i meet someone or someone comes to Visit Laputa. i rarely check about land tho, except on my own lands. mystitools always gets a number one item from me as well, i use the new TP to cam all the time, i'm forever camming tho, aparently not many others do, must be a builders thing. i'm a bit of a fan of my new 'steampunk robotic left arm' as well. very cool. i'll be over it next week tho  i usually carry 5-10k around don't know my Arc and don't care. i'm fur, i'm sure it's high. First person that has a whinge to me about my arc being high is gonna cop it. i change clothes quite often for a male, maybe once every 2 days or so, also depends on what i'm doing, as it stands i have 2 sets of building clothes, 2 air pirate costumes, 3 casual outfits and about 4 suits/visiting clothes that i use the most often. all with different accessories. canes, pipes, belts, ect. quite a few on the friends list. it needs a clean as i don't talk to most and can't remember who half are -Crunch

So going to have to make some peeps that floats, burns and squishes!
1) My Wings.. although they are always different, I always have wings on
2) never less than 5k, rarely more than 70k
3) Varies - depends on the day, but average about 2500 I think. It rarely matters, since even when I was in a club with friends, we all had a arc of at least 2k, my fps was still over 45.
4) Again varies, but never wear the same clothes/hair/skin/shoes/wings more than 2 days, rarely less than 1 hour. Some days I will change 4 or 5 times though.
5) about 150 - and try to stay in touch with them often.

I hardly ever look at about land unless I'm shopping for it. Just looking around seems more immersive. I rarely look at profiles because they take so long to come up. Maybe when I get my new computer I'll do it more.
My favorite item currently is a basset hound avatar, though I cannot wag my tail which is quite frustrating. I have to do that in text RP.
I'm still shopping for a horse which will probably become my favorite item when I finally get one.
I change clothes once a day or every other day - sometimes I even change avatars that frequently. And yes, Bodhisatva, I have been accused of being a female playing a man.
Haven't tried the ARC thing, but stopped wearing glasses because of it.
Usually keep around 2K funds, currently a lot more because I don't log in much since mandatory Windlight. The stipend has slowly built up.
My friends list - about three. Four if you count "Waiting." My alt has a lot more friends, but I'm far more introverted than my alt. Haven't figured that one out yet.
