I am a psychiatric registered nurse specialist in a women's prison. It gives me a unique perspective on variations in forum participants behavior. Up to and including my own.

I work in Second Life (yes that is my Real Life job) as a customer service rep....
so sometimes the two do intertwine.

From: Ciera Spyker Maybe it was fiction when someone in the house i was in stick a gun to someones head and shot them? Didnt kill them but it took their ear off (the desired effect) and deafened them im sure for life. This was over a dispute of stupidity.
Or the time a friend thought it be a great idea to take 3 tabs of E and go into hyperdrive and we had to literally ice him down to save him? Maybe I dreamt that too.
Or how about the time I had a week long booking and It ended up being a horror story as the person was a religious freak and wanted to sacrifice me? was it that one?
Or maybe the time my BFF was beaten and dumped on Sunset blvd and I had to go down and get her and sit in the hospital while they put her face back together. Stitches are so permament maybe I imagined that?
Or how about the convention I was working/signing for and a fight broke out among fans and people got stabbed to death right in front of me?
Is that the fiction you are referring too? I can still see it like it was yesterday. Yes, I had many bad things but i had way way more good happen too. Trips to Bermuda, Photoshoots and cruises. Could i write a book? Most certainly. Ive actually considered it.
So you see. My life has been quite a adventure so far. Life fast Die young they say. But i think I managed to escape the second part due to the good head on my shoulders.
SL has been a fun outlet so far and I use it for other purposes too. I. or one of me , will continue to use it as I see fit.
Anymore peanut gallery comments? I thought not. Cieraously, don't worry about that book-writing thing until you've mastered the to/too issue. You'll only end up paying a small fortune in editors' fees. Otherwise, it's clearly a grand life, full of shootings, stabbings and other random violence. Who wouldn't be envious.

I'm a psychotherapist specializing in addiction and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
As a retired veteran I always wanted to work with other vets, so until last December I was working with veterans who served in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. I am now on sabbatical doing completely unrelated research, because doing the above for almost 4 years was giving *me* PTSD. I was having nightmares and developed severe anxiety. So you can imagine how these men and women who were actually there are doing.
When my sabbatical is over (next Jan) I will either continue doing research, or go back to drug and alcohol counseling.

Thank you once again. You're welcome Lula. It was my pleasure and privilege. And who am I kidding; the chances are very good that I'll go back to doing that, if only part time. The need for this particular expertise is great I'm rather sad to say.

I am the delusional ruler of my own imaginary world... but it kinda gets boring there, so that's why I come to SL.
