You can send me an instant message in world even if I am offline, then you won't be bothered by the Mulch haters by posting it here. I'll log on in a few. I don't know if you noticed, but have been adding some bells and whistles to the old (new) blogMulchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918779475784089216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15571183.post-1125104933356119512005-08-26T18:08:00.000-07:002005-08-26T18:08:00.000-07:00Ahhhh...f*ck it.

I guess if i like it, it wont really make much difference since it's a one time fee. But if I get too engrossed in this that I'm not ready to move out by Monday, I blame YOU!

Was going to put it in PG because land is cheaper in PG and I took a strong no sleaze/sex approach, but a Linden advised me that my Ganja plants and pro pot propoganda posters might offend some<BR/><BR/>mature isn't that bad, and the sex isn't just out in the open everywhere, but yeah, we'll have a drink. <BR/><BR/>i have about 30 freebie drinks you can have, but I had to pay for my pint of Guiness (as it comes with an animation fo a "manly dance," which just has me standing there drinking my pint while tapping my foot)<BR/><BR/>remember, after you get settled in your new place, it is free for 6 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes, so you can find out for yourself if you like it free. I just added to my list of weaknesses, but you <B>MUST</B> have broadband. there is no other alternative.<BR/><BR/>Good luck in your new pad, will miss your blog entries, and lay off the southpark, it will make a BEEFCAKE out of you!Mulchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918779475784089216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15571183.post-1125099043204146262005-08-26T16:30:00.000-07:002005-08-26T16:30:00.000-07:00Cool... thanks a bunch guys for the insight. It so...Cool... thanks a bunch guys for the insight. It sounds like you got quite a "hippy" thing going on with your hippy dancehall and hippy amusement park. Do you by any chance have a "hippy circle" growing in SL? hehehe...kindsa reminds me of that SouthPark episode (I watch too much man) where Cartman goes on his conquest to rid all hippies from Southpark, pest exterminator style...lol.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, should I decide to part with $10 and experience the 'Second Life'...Im afraid it won't be anytime soon. Im moving house over the weekend and I cant say for sure when I'll have internet there. But I'll definitely hook up through your link. And when I do, how bout say you me go hit that 'PG Region' eh?? Down a couple o' pints on the way...hhaha just kiddin'.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700080080606453374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15571183.post-1125080888802524862005-08-26T11:28:00.000-07:002005-08-26T11:28:00.000-07:00Clyde, the developers would like the Linden dollar...Clyde, the developers would like the Linden dollar to trade at about $4.00 USD to L$1,000. Right now it is trading much lower.<BR/><BR/>The higher the quality and more demand, the higher the prices. You can find a lot of not expensive stuff, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. And I never thought of starting SL as a "bum." I guess, in theory no home no job no money, yeah, that would technically be true, but seriously you don't feel like a bum. The Junkyard has many free or nearly free items to start you off so you have an inventory. I have pretty much everything free and am always willing to share. There are also "money trees" people put on their property that give cash to people younger then 30 days old, so there is cash for the taking. Much of what you get out of SL is based on what you focus on. If money is your main concern, you can find that. Same with socialization, combat, sex, or building. It is fairly easy to find like minded people in world.<BR/><BR/>As far as alternative reality, I live in a desert. This desert has many golf courses, imported palm trees (not indigenous), concrete and asphalt. Reality is subjective, and the "reality" that has been created here is hardly what was here before man's creativity developed it. <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, the mind reacts the same way to experiences whether experienced, remembered, or imagined. Therefore, you can submit that the reality outside your window is the only one, or you can explore alternative realities.<BR/><BR/>But you do have a point, too much SL and RL may disappear. But I am 30 Clyde, and honestly, most of your friends will disappear anyway when you get my age, or you will get sick of them (or vice versa). Moderation is key in everything i guess.<BR/><BR/>Sans, of course the Barbie/building/army men was a generalization. I know several female builders and scripters, and have met guys who do nothing but be pretty. It was you after all who gave me the Barbie analogy back in Superior, remember?<BR/><BR/>I guess it does sound sexist, but seriously that was not my goal. Was just generalizing on that, and I do believe you agree with that generalization based on many conversations we have had.<BR/><BR/>Sans also has a good point. There is a group of disabled people in SL who use SL to experience things they cannot in RL, like running, walking, flying. It illustrates the points about doing things you could not normally do in Real Life quite well I think.Mulchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918779475784089216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15571183.post-1125077372453522602005-08-26T10:29:00.000-07:002005-08-26T10:29:00.000-07:00Thanks for mentioning me hon :)No thanks for the b...Thanks for mentioning me hon :)<BR/>No thanks for the barbie comments :( Women also love to build/script/create in SL, we just wanna look good doing it!<BR/><BR/>If I were to describe Second Life, I'd say it's more like a chance to live life as you would live it if you didn't have real world challenges that you can't avoid (children/childlessness, poverty, loneliness, geographical isolation, shyness!, disabilities, inability to fly :), lack of tools or access to tools, etc.) There is stuff you can do in SL that can't be done anywhere else, never will be done anywhere else, so the only real test is the limits of your creativity and imagination. <BR/><BR/>What I like best in SL is the relationships I've made. I'm a social person in SL, unlike in RL, and I've made great friends, have a great (usually) boyfriend, and I can find people who are thoughtful, caring, compassionate, creative, non-judgemental, and fun. This is not true about where I live in RL, so SL provides that need/want for me, and I provide...whatever I provide to my friends in SL :)<BR/><BR/>--SansSanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380938801354014701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15571183.post-1125060408974188702005-08-26T05:46:00.000-07:002005-08-26T05:46:00.000-07:00So roughly how much is one Linden dollar worth in ...So roughly how much is one Linden dollar worth in real dollars? Are stuff pretty expensive to buy? If I were to join, I'd start off as a homeless drifter right? hehehe Yeah, what a better way to kick off cyberlife as a BUM. <BR/><BR/>It's a pretty weird albeit not new concept I think. It's a bit like the Matrix, except people are paying to get INTO the fake world. And before that there was Arnie's Total Recall. Oh well, more proof that when real life turns out to be shitty, there is always SL. Though it does become a bit worrying should you stop playing SL to find you have no more RL...lol.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700080080606453374noreply@blogger.com
