So I decided to try to build a flower... I found that the most difficult thing when building was trying to rotate the prims to the correct angle. I also had trouble joining the prims, but by the end I got a hang of changing the camera angle to be able to see that they were actually touching. I decided to build a flower because I wanted to build something whimsical instead of something practical. Since SL is a fantasy world, I wanted to have a fantasy object. Plus, I was thinking of the line from Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds: "Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers that grow so incredibly high..." Hopefully the next one I make will be a little more natural looking.

While I was building in the Sandbox, some obnoxious person decided that it would be funny or cool to create a swarm of flying swastikas. Talk about doing something that you wouldn't do in real life! The cubes swarmed around everyone and cluttered my computer screen, and then continued to hang and spin in one spot. It took about 15 minutes for their creator to be kicked out. I don't know if the person was actually a nazi or if they were just trying to get attention, but I was fairly shocked and surprised.
