Rippleshock guided me here . . . I don't know how to write one of these "formally" so I'll just type whatever comes to mind: Happy 3rd SL Birthday, Steller Sunshine, oldest Resident of Second Life for that matter.  The first time I met you inworld, it was kind of like meeting Yoda -- and you are like Yoda -- 'cuz you were in Zeb's three-eyed alien avatar, and all I could think of at first was "Size matters not"... or somesuch thing. And also, you're wise and stuff, seeing so much come and go. And have the wackiness... like that scene where Yoda is digging food out of Luke's backpack -- well, you have a beanstalk. Does that make sense? Actually meeting you for the first time was such a thrill because, past all the historical milestones (1st this, 1st that, LOL) and what is really important to me: you really are a stellerly sunshiney kinda person and it is cool to recognize that the spirit of Second Life continues to travel on its paths after your pioneering influence.
I was at Welsh the other day, doing unrelated things (visiting The Hat Tree), and I came to your beanstalk home when you weren't there. I had to laugh because one of the top leaves said something to the effect of indicating that the beanstalk would get higher when budget allows for it. And I couldn't place that in context today, but then I thought wayyy back and remembered what I had been told about the height tax and being charged L$10 to rez a prim, etc. I also had to laugh at an anecdote related by one of your fellow "old-timers" that the reason that you're so nice is because you had already purged out your negativity and drama issues and all that during pre-alpha... and were done by beta. Thanks for taking the time to share stuff with me like the origins of some SL traditions and the wild slime drones story (!), and all in all for being spreading the good vibes and inspiring me to be a better person.
(You know, if someday a Koyaanisqatsi-like time-lapse film of SL gets made, there'd better be a part showing your adventures around the gridverse. Like dancing and stuff too, because gestures are fun! And lots of cats!  )
In any case, it's cool you're not just a "net urban legend", and you're actually around inworld still. So I don't need a time machine to go back. And even when you aren't, I suspect your spirit watches over us. I know that you haven't really posted in the Forums in awhile, but maybe you'll find this waiting for you here. I just had to say it and share it...
So yeah... HAPPY 3RD SL BIRTHDAY, STELL!!!

Very happy 3rd Stellar!  LL couldn't have picked a better first resident. It's so very cool that you're still here to see how it's exploded since your first day. You're like SL's Eve

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STELLER!!!!!! I'm so glad I found you here in SL my old friend! I have lots of bittersweet memories from the Activeworlds days, and many fond memories of !friends world! POKER TABLE! Cross-island racing, hanging out at a bonfire, the island mini-map you made, etc. etc. etc.! Heck, my !friends build was one of the first "rides" I ever made in AW! Thank you for the memories Steller, and here's to years more and the bright future ahead of us all! <3 Arti /waves at MacB

Happy Birthday Steller! I remember stumbling across some of your builds almost 2 years ago when I started SL, they were a big reason I stayed! Cheers!
