On Moving; On Identities; On Change

As much as I love my little Victorian home on the side of Mt. Caledon, I realized that it did not fit in with the identity I had decided to portray in Caledon. Namely, that of the exiled Comtesse de Tammas. I really enjoyed coming up with the background story and admit that I’m disappointed that Second Life limits the length of a profile to 500 characters. Needless to say, more will be written on the Comtesse de Tammas here in the future.

I had been working on a Second French Empire (1852-1870) style house to replace my Victorian home . . . . Certainly, homes of this style survived into the Victorian Era and would be a fitting dwelling for the exiled Comtesse de Tammas. But, it just would not fit on my parcel against Mt. Caledon.

As circumstances would have it, the parcel next to my own suddenly became available. A parcel still under the shadow of Mt. Caledon and larger than my current parcel (and flat too!!) with enough room to put just about anything on it that I wished. I scrapped the small Second French Empire house I had been building and built a very large mansion of the same period and style.

I love my new house and it is a fitting dwelling for the Comtesse de Tammas. But, my old Victorian home, the time came to pack up the contents. This made me sad, for I truly loved this house and though it had been a prefab, I had spent many hours lovingly customizing it and was truly proud of it sitting high against Mt. Caledon. I admit that I don’t have the heart to tear he down. And now it sits there still; empty and lonely.
