What makes you really happy in SL? (no, not sex)

I do that too!!!! I love it lol

Live Music for me - I think it's brilliant

/me gives Sandy a great big welcome back hug!!!!!

Welcome back Sandy!!!

1) Hanging out with someone one on one and really getting to know them and what they're about.
2) Exploring all the incredibly creative things people have done.
3) Places like the Hangout which tend to attract an interesting and eclectic group as opposed to a lot of places where you get a bunch of idiots looking to act like fools. The conversations at the Hangout tend to go five different directions at once, but they are always interesting.

Sigh. I'm about to have to take a forced break from Sl for a couple weeks while I move into my new place and wait for my new computer to arrive. Unfortunately, my old computer will be no longer with me, so I'm already a little depressed. I hate moving. It interferes with the much more important business of goofing off and playing with my friends.

OTOH, the new computer is a quad-core, SLi monstrosity that should completely rock. If it ever arrives. Sometime in the distant future when we all have flying cars and holodecks...

OMG, someone call and cancel that missing persons' report, would you? I'm going to be too busy giving Sandy a big hug. Welcome back. You've been missed!

*slumps forward towards her dinky laptop and drools at the words...quad-core*

/me whispers in your ear "Wait until I overclock it..."

heh - it will be overkill in the extreme for SL, but I play a lot of first person shooters, and those really require top notch equipment to run them with any degree of success.

I forgot to add that one of the things I really enjoy about Sl is hanging out here in the forums with all you folks. I've met some truly amazing people and made some great friends, so I would add that this is one of the things that makes me very happy, especially when I can't log into SL.

Sandy, my kitchen is dirty and in need of a thorough cleaning. Where are you?
/me kisses him and gives him a big hug

Ok I was half way through reading and I noticed this...






Sandy!!!!!! Welcome Back!!!

/me gives Sandy a huge hug

We missed you!

Super true! I think I would have given up on SL a bit ago if it weren't for the forums. You guys have made it so much fun!

*closes her eyes and shivers* Now this talk is better than sl sex..even though I wouldnt know for sure I sooo want to build a new computer. Though, my laptop is at least dual core. Its just not the same! *day dreams of the day she gets to build a new puter*

I have to second that last part there, I spend more time on the forums now than in SL...how'd that happen!!

Once again I am overwhelmed with the kindness of the people here!!

Hi Kira, I'll just get my box of cleaning products and I'll be right round.

Hi Sally and Feline and Claire, thanks for the warm welcome

It's easy for me - I spend more time at work than at home, especially in recent months, so more time on the forums. Once I make my move and get the new rig set up, that should change. I'll have a LOT more free time when I'm not working, so more SL time, I hope.

/me sighs and cuddles up with him. We should probably wash the car first, but it is frozen solid outside so we can just sit by a nice roaring fire until it thaws out.

Since I lost my deatchable penis...

I greatly enjoy meeting new and interesting people and building more internet friendships.

That aside I like the Sim2 quality of building ones own house and filling it with deco. Brings out the creative side of me.

Logging on makes me happy. Or else I wouldn't do it. I've come to view SL as Entertainment. So what ever I am doing that particular time will be enjoyable, or else I wouldn't do it.

Where did you use it last? Did you check there? How about between the pillows in the sofa? Maybe it rolled under the bed. With your car keys?

I think this is something that you can claim on your homeowner's insurance. They should send you a check to buy a new one. I don't know how it will affect your rates, though. You might want to talk to your agent first.

Just trying to help.

Then you're missing out more then you'll ever know.

Typing is cold and flat. How intimate or close can you possibly get by just typing? You can't express anything, not the mood, not the closeness you feel. Yeah, yeah you can type up a good book but it's nowhere near how you can by hearing anothers voice.


This fear some of you have of using voice is mind boggling. What are you so afraid of? Are you that much embarrassed of yourselves to even try? Must be.

Not talking directly to op just in general.

Poker and investment banking.....oh....wait.....



Finding fantastic builds or interesting creations.

Listening to live music and DJ music.

Chatting/socializing with people from all over the world.

Playing various games within Second Life.

The ability to create content.

1) Sandy! Right now, seeing you answer in this thread, is the best thing! I was going to write you! So worried about where you have been! Welcome "home"! Something brewing for next week, you'll find out soon. /me crosses my fingers, that you'll be around...

2) Chris (but really, #1) Yes, your "Boy Toy King", but, much more to me, and I to him. We're not the kind to jump up on a couch (or this Forum) and rant about our feelings for each other. Suffice it to say, no words will be able to do it justice anyway. But nobody or anything, makes me happier.

3) Setting up my home, buying things for it, hanging out in it, taking pix of it

4) Shopping in general. Hate it in RL, very entertaining here!

5) Chatting at the Hangout! Wish I had more time inworld to do so. I hate that I miss out on a lot of the late night fun! /me sighs heavily.

6) Exploring in general - never ending source of delight!

Oh, you owe me a keyboard for that, Trout.

/me returns to mopping up the pepsi I spit when I read that.

Well that wasn't too subjective or off topic.

The written word can be far more than cold and flat. It's an unfortunate byproduct of today's technologies that so many people's ability to express themselves with the written word is so stunted and that as a result they suffer from this false belief.

I'm not even going to bother addressing your presuppositions about why some people don't use voice as it's nothing but a narrow minded troll.

Apart from working on graphics and building things, I very much enjoy the company of a spunky loon of a girl! (Graph winks at Claire)

I enjoy slow dancing.
I enjoy chimerra dancing in groups up in the air.
I enjoy chatting and getting to know those I be-friend
I enjoy exploring exotic place
I enjoy decorating my apartment (sold/got rid of the land... no more tier!)
I enjoy flirting with women (well I really do)
I enjoy meeting new friends
I enjoy the few live music events I have been to
I enjoy being silly with my friends and laughing
I enjoy being a Neko/man
I enjoy water sports, surfing, boating, scuba diving ect
I enjoy chacing mermaids

Things that make happy in SL
1) My friends in Faeria and Nakji.
2) Creating
3) The forum, when I read something helpful, beautiful or entertaining
Also I find I grow attached to certain posters because their something about them.
I won't say who, but I always enjoying read their threads.
4)Unexpected or Thank you Gifts (optional but its nice when I get them)

Ahhh that one is definitely covered by your home owners insurance, just throw it on the floor first to make sure it is really busted. Slip in the claim that I can't find my prims either and they are extra, or you could claim them as software until they become hardware.

In other words you don't dare use voice either. I can understand. I can definitely read between the lines.

And btw you say you don't dare address me, yet, you did just that. Or didn't you know?
