Beware the Ides of March! (It's my rezz-day)

I don't switch back and forth. I am a hard-switch. All one or the other, with momentum, for long periods of time. I was roleplaying online before SL was born, and have spent about equal amounts of time on both ends of a leash.

Across the last 18-months, I owned 12 girls, one at a time, for periods of 36-hours to ten-weeks, and they all disapeared and broke my heart. So I decided that it fits the definition of insanity to keep operating the same way, and hoping for different results.

SL is the world's greatest 3D, interactive, community-mural. We all paint at least a few tiles, To me, most of what I do here fits under the broad heading of art. Also we are playing BDSM-Barbie, an adult version of the childhood make-believe and roleplaying-games we played as kids, with dolls. It can also be like two people writing a 'Choose Your-Own Romance" novel for each other.

"Forever – is composed of Nows –" Emily Dickinson
I have this quote at the top of my profile, because it is the most profound concept that I ever read.
Dickinson is saying that, from a subjective standpoint, we live forever, because our lives are comprised of an infinite number of moments. Especially on SL.

"Brevity is the soul of wit." Hamlet II,2
I used to be a para-roleplayer, until I got better at roleplay, and saying more with less. Roleplay is theatre, not prose-literature. Detail should be suggestive, not exhaustive. The tone and tenor of dialog should be the major indicator of your mental-state, not narrative full of adjectives and adverbs.

Soulplay: Like roleplay, except you are always yourself and the sum of your experience - but in different circumstances.

Strong like water: A blow might sink into them, and they can be profoundly hurt by it. But they recover from the blow because, it’s short term and their shape is eternal.

“A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.” James N. Watkins
