As Hamlet ate two hours of my life without so much as a handjob, I am going to have to go two for one.
Why Did You Become a Blogger, How Has it Enriched Your Life
Well Oprah, that is a good question. First and foremost I am the kid in class who would do stupid things to get attention. Eat paste, crayons, Sally Belding, worms, etc. Second, I looked out there and saw an untapped market. Sure, there are plenty of fashion ad mills blogs and boring ass people who use big words, but where was the poorly written angry rant with spotty grammar? I will tell you, nowhere dammit.
There are bloggers I respect like Josue, Crap, and myself. But most of the Second Life bloggers are out to get something or get "SL Famous". Yeah, I can understand getting shit for free, but being famous in such a small little world is silly. So silly that I wonder why I can't seem to do it.
Mostly? If I can go home at the end of the day making just one of you angry, I've done a good thing. I can sleep at night with a few less Xanex and maybe only half a pint of Wild Irish Rose.
Enriched? Getting to make people angry for sure, but this week a few people have actually said nice things to me in-world. I appreciate that and no – I do not mind telling you where I got this awesome penis with HUD. I'm flattered you would ask.
Why are you still here? No, that is all true. You don't have to go home, but you cannot stay here. Please don't make me taze you. Fine…
Part of me wants to make a difference and I have met some wonderful people as a result of blogging. Now get out. I mean it this time.
Write About Three Positive Things Going on In Second Life
Some people would find this hard and all I can say is it must be really sad to be you.
People – I just came back from an event with some wonderful (some naked even) people. They were making jokes, they were chatting, they were having a hell of a time. No one was trying to sell anyone anything and even the fact it was a competition did not seem to concern anyone. It was just people. It was beautiful.
Coming Together – Groups like the veterans group I am part of bring people together from all over. The day of hanging out with the local boys at your town's Legion hall are long gone. Thank God, those are some really old people (but very nice).
Connecting – You know how I met Ami? I was wondering around Burning Life and she just starting talking to me. Once I had security detain her and check her out, we got to talking and I found she was much less the insane stalker than most of you are. Whenever I've been stressed about something she has been a shoulder to lean on and while I'm not capable of human emotions myself, I have looked up things on the net to say in response when she has needed support.
