Petal has been nine and a half since her creation in March of 2009. I like the idea of an ageless character; the idea that while my RL nieces get older (despite my demanding that they stop it right this minute!) Petal will never be too big or too old to just be an adventurous kid.
However, one of the joys of childhood is birthdays. Cake, presents, all that good stuff. I'm pondering the idea of giving Petal her one and only SL birthday, in which she turns 10 and stays there. But I'm curious to hear what other people think.
Let me pre-empt comments by saying I don't care if you don't like child avatars. Move on to another blog if that's the case. This isn't a blog for that sort of discussion. Nobody's interested in hearing your tired and rehashed old rant about how they "creep you out" etc.

Petal texts her mom
In case you haven't heard the news, there has been volcanic activity and earthquakes occuring off the coast of Sansara, just west of Abbots. Bolinas was barely affected, but as a safety measure, roads have been closed and flights grounded for a while.
Don't worry, Our Heroines are safe and sound, but their travels have been temporarily put on hold. Stay tuned to see what happens next.
In the meantime, Petal has racked up 11km so far for her fundraiser. Click here to read about it and to sponsor her.

Petal in the Labyrinth
This song was in my head tonight as I explored the Hedge Maze. I couldn't sleep, so while Joline was asleep I thought I'd check it out.
The trick to finding your way out of a maze, Auntie told me one time, is to follow along one wall as far as you can. Well finally I got to this strange glowy hedge, and I saw bright sparklies drifting by from above. They were really beautiful.
