/me gives the thread a fun paddling.....

I have fond memories of discovering a glitch in one of my big brother's C64 games. He was the big war game and aircraft jock and was really -battling- this game. Its objective was to fly a B1 bomber somewhere and blow up the Bad Guys and he kept getting shot down....a lot..... I discovered that if I set the altitude to 1', I would make it all the way to Moscow and was invulnerable. I still remember him sputtering; "But....it's cheating if you DRIVE to Moscow!" Wish I could get some more of those times :-(

Lashed Hair........

Welcome back....we have candy!

Happy Mid-Week Work-Rage Day!!!!!

That's actually a bittersweet topic for me. Prior to the Interwebs I had left active duty and was in the reserves while chasing an advanced degree. I was either in school, running, or at my day job - with reserve duty once a month and eating up a couple of weeks every summer...... so no time for things like "social life" or "family". I got absorbed into the Internet Collective -after- going back on extended active duty to make use of my shiny new skill set and have some really sleep-disturbing experiences. When I was finished finding out that humans can be really awful to each other, I went back to the civilian world full time. It was then that I discovered the Internet as sort of a sideline to my program of avoiding other human-beings and self-medicating for my newfound personality quirks. It sort of helped me, it let me keep something between me and other people until I was ready to venture out there again. If I got annoyed, I logged off of EarthLink and the annoying people miraculously went away......

Some years ago due to a brain injury, my RL body began letting me down. For me and people like me, SL is a chance to be "normal" and not the object of pity or bad humor when my speech sounds drunk, I have a "can't walk well" day or being a gifted seven-finger typist is just not enough. I think it's relative to your situation :-)

Personally, I think with certain individuals it's already here. I have friends here I and really wild about; but I have no urge to know them in RL. When I think about them, I visualize them as I know them here; and I am OK with that. I'm comfortable with seeing people as they prefer to be seen, and it hurts my ability to be their friend not one little bit :-)

I LOVE the Darwin awards........ The Raccoon-Hunt in a sewer-pipe was one of my faves......

The actual eclipse may be over, but if you have a 3rd-shift "day sleeper" in the house, you can still have a little fun with it. a.. Turn off their alarm b.. Set the clocks in the house back several hours c.. Wait for full dark d.. Wake them up screaming; "OMG! The Sun never came back !!!!!!" Then back away......

Just a thought - but a Non-Searchable Person is very likely a Ninja...... ......might be best not to search too hard for a Ninja......

I wish only the best for the people of Barcelona and sincerely that the world in general suffers a sudden breakout of sanity and reason as opposed to reactionary violence.

Heh, I pop in every other day in Prime Time - just to check :-)

Not really trying to convince anyone of anything :-) Based on my experiences as someone who DJs in SL "nightspots", the times I mentioned are the ones I experience better traffic. Others experiences probably vary :-)

It always makes me blink when someone refers to SL as "in game" . Not in a bad way mind you; but it's a different mindset than I'm used to after over a decade in the virtual world. The best time to find people is from 5pm SL (pacific) time till about 8pm SLT. That's "prime time" for much of the population. Things have declined a bit, and at other times of day its very hot or miss. Enjoy SL and have fun

/me monkeys with the thread...

Finding clubs where people actually TALK is a real rarity - but there are a few and being willing to be the one who initiates a conversation is a plus. Feel free to chat me up in-world :-) I may be able to help with the club scene and I enjoy making actual friends in SL ! Oh, and hit Nostoll up too.....awesomness :-)

Another wild sexxed-up night at the Keen house....

I was once attacked by a parrot. I still have issues about that......

/me feels a little touched by the thread.....

Landscapers often ignore using greenscape (shrubs/sculpted hedges/trees/etc) as a way to add to their SL landscaping. This has come a long way to being meshed and can be very prim-friendly. Fire or water? I say water - I especially like moving water with the right sound effects.

I was setting out some animated goats this morning and ended up wearing them.......
