Introduction to a fluffy world

Unknown by most, there is behind some facebook profiles an entire world with its own economy, its own rules, and its own drama : fluffworld. 

A few addicts play the game for hours on end every day, petting other people's fluffy animals to gain 5 munny. 

With that, they can buy a limited edition (LE) turkle (turkey) in the "LE shop" for 15000 munny. Yes, you read me right. That's a LOT of petting. 

There are entire websites devoted to being "petting zoos" - where people post their individual links and pet each other's fluffs. Oh and everytime someone pets YOU, you earn 3 munny. With a limit of 5000 pets per month.

Oh and the feeding. You *need* to feed your fluff, and other people's fluffs, and race them. Every race you do, you bet, and you earn points if you win (and also if you lose, but less). You can only race 20 times per hour, which isn't much, considering that's 100 race points maximum per hour, and to buy a "shine shell", you need 10000 points. 

Your life can be SO much simpler if you just buy gold, the most coveted currency. 1 gold (LG in the forums) can easily be traded for 800-1000 munny. 

10 gold costs 1 dollar if you decide  to buy rather than trade.

And the most coveted "mega-minis" - special animals you can add to your "habitat" cost up to 7000 gold (but mostly 3000 gold), which amounts to about 300-700 USD. 

Many people spend hours petting, trading, speculating, and stocking up on items that are soon to become rare and valuable in the LE shop. In hopes of not needing to spend that much actual money to buy a blue uniko, a pink uniko, or a foxee.

My name is Alexandra, and I am a fluff-addict.

Hunting for an apartment

It's not as easy as it sounds. Especially in a big city where everything is overpriced. Especially when you need to be close to the metro if you want to have a chance to get to school or work. We can't afford a car, and don't really want one at all, actually. So living outside the city is out of the question. 

You need to constantly refresh the new announcements on the agency's website, and call to pounce on any apartment that looks good. 

You need to not be too picky but yet be discerning. An apartment can have huge bedrooms and look very nice, but if there is no room to even turn around in the bathroom and you have to climb in the shower sideways while trying not to twist your neck, it MIGHT not be such a good idea to take that one. 

You also need to be able to survive missing out on great opportunities. You need to be fast, but it seems there's always someone faster.

You also need to have money, to convince the agency that you're serious.

Hello World!

Why am I starting a new blog? 

Because my old one was... well... old. 

And I hadn't published on it in a long time. So I'm turning a new page and starting a brand new blog!

The theme will eventually get better when I have time to work on it. 

My website wasn't up to date anymore, so I'm going to get rid of it eventually. 

I will mainly publish news on my daily life, quick updates and information. 

I will also add my opinion on current events if I feel it's necessary.
