New Year...Same ol' draggie!

Yes, I look not that diff from last year...at least not the last few days of it. I have much going on this new year. Training, interviews, and other events. One is here: http://tinyurl.com/9nbz8j . I look forward to this new year.

Back on...Holidays are coming!

Well, there's one festive dragon! LOL. Myself in Iow Limbo Sandbox.

Been long enough since I posted, I know. Lots going on, with holidays and such. Even in the Isle of Wyrms, with the Winter Solstice Hatching less than a week after the Winter Festival. Been a full ten days!

Below is a sample conversation I have as a guide, with a new hatchling owner. I edited it and changed the names, for brevity and privacy.

[21:44]  Cora Heslop: nice mp

[21:44]  Cora Heslop: a fire hatchling. =D

[21:45]  mp: Yep yep

[21:45]  Cora Heslop: would you like me to verify it so you can join the group around here?

[21:45]  Cora Heslop: *groups

[21:45]  mp: Okay

[21:45]  Cora Heslop: =D

[21:46]  Fire Hatchling Egg: Click me once to begin hatching

[21:46]  Cora Heslop: I locked up a couple times, missed seeing it

[21:46]  Cora Heslop: ok..ty.

[21:47]  Cora Heslop: you can take it off now

[21:47]  Cora Heslop: thanks

[21:48]  Cora Heslop: I'll send a nc to a guardian about the council of hatchlings. You should hear back in 24-48 hours...let me know if you don't. =D

[21:48]  mp: okay

[21:48]  Cora Heslop: the council isn't a chat group, it's for admin annoucements and such

[21:51]  Cora Heslop: gimme just a sec, Mp....sl is slow..again. lol

[21:51]  Vv: aww

[21:51]  Vv: how cute

[21:52]  Vv: ooo my

[21:52]  Vv: how beautifl

[21:52]  Rn smiles under his hat.

[21:53]  Cora Heslop: Mp, if you are interested in participating in the community here, I can invite you as a guest in the Isle of Wyrms Citizens group.

[21:53]  Rn rummages around in his hatchie bag and pulls out a map. He marks it and hands it to you.

[21:53]  Vv: i am a guset

[21:53]  Cora Heslop: It is chat ok, and you get notices of regular and special events around the isles

[21:53]  mp: Okay

[21:54]  Vv: can i be more than a guest?

[21:54]  Cora Heslop: it has the same rules as the isles, keep it pg, no language or adult stuff

[21:54]  mp: No problem

[21:55]  Cora Heslop: yes, with three things: be a guest at least 2 weeks, follow the rules, and own a Daryth avatar. =D

[21:55]  Vv: already do

[21:55]  Vv: shadow dragon

[21:56]  Cora Heslop: I beleive a Mentor at least can do upgrades to Citizen

[21:58]  Cora Heslop: ah, yes, V..need to ask a Mentor or higher

[21:59]  Vv: he so cute

[21:59]  Vv: which one is that ?

[22:00]  mp: I'm not cute. I'm a scary steam dragon

[22:00]  Vv: steam dragon

[22:00]  Cora Heslop: wb mp

[22:01]  Cora Heslop: If you'd like technical help, mw, you can join the "Isle of wyrms Help forum". it is open-join, as you wish

First Day Off the Grid

Well, it is actually nice to be off the grid for awhile. I've only been online for 60 seconds, to check messages. 

I'm using my timer in RL better: checking messages, updating my blogs, catching up with friends, and enjoying quality time with my hubby. 

Sanity exists in a good blend and balance of time in RL and SL.

Ciao.

Post Festival...whew!

Just got done with Isle of Wyrms Winter Festival. As tired as I am...that's not half as tired as some who pulled it all together! lol. I'm taking a brain break from SL till Wednesday, to tend to RL matters.  The festival was great! Don't forget the hatching, coming on the 21st!

Ciao.

Latest Doings of Me...

Of late I'm a white cat...something different. I stopped by the SL/RL interactive project, and wound up with my pic on Flickr! LOL. The blog for the project is at http://secondloop.wordpress.com/. The pic came from http://www.flickr.com/photos/azdelslade/3079501086/. Had some trouble getting it to load from url, but credit where credit is due. =)

Some of our conversation is posted at http://secondloop.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/talking-about-humanness-avatars-and-roleplay/.

Ciao.

Group in IoW Cathedral

Hrodbert, Redy, Thoms, and myself (yes, I'm a cat in this pic) are hanging out in Cathedral. Tis fun to be here, gets very lively sometimes, quiet others.

Ciao.

Isle of Wyrms....
