Welcome back Torley. It was fun gaggling around the Relay for Life track last night with that gigantic hat following me! :D

Welcome back.
Jeez, i just removed your blog a couple of days ago from my bloglines, because of the endless non SL rambling. :p
Guess i will have to put it back again now. :D

Think of Joss Whedon and J. Michael Straczynski combined... PLOT ARCS PEOPLE, PLOT ARCS! LOL, I mean this jokingly (semi anyway) and I should clarify that because I had no idea some of the wack things that would happen.

IT IS AN HONOR TO BE BACK AMONGST YOU.

I mean this is no small way, I left SL for NO reason (need to clarify that point) but am back for MANY reasons. (NO and MANY aren't quite polar opposites, but works for me.) And also why do we have a sim called NO but not YES?

I will still do my best to answer any and all emails sent to me (torley@gmail.com) if that's preferred mode of communication.

This is the part where, appropriately, what I've went on about seemingly nonrelated to SL loops in with the bigger Interstate Highway, and we all travel...

This reminds me of a story!

There was a time when Sandbox Island was called Island Sandbox, and when it was quite empty in the wee hours. When I last checked, it got pretty packed. Anyhoo, there was one night where I was flying around, and for the duration of the time, there was only one other avatar around—Cid Jacobs. If you never saw what happened, here are the memories with lotz of pictures:

http://torley.blog-city.com/teh_watermelon_iz_teh_shiznit_yayzerama1.htm

And this is why I'll continue to document experiences in here.

There was also a time I was cleaning out inventory, and rezzed a bunch of Flea's trees in Morris before it had fancy walling. And uh, let's just say they piled on each other, and some of those trees went pretty high. Trimda Hedges was there too and watching me pull out all this junk. I didn't see the trees gobble up all the prims in the sandbox, so even after I deleted the ones on the ground, it left something like 300-prims free. I go to bed, and in the morning, I get a message from some well-concerned Residents (if you remember this let me know if I can mention your name) about what I'd done, and I'm like "UH-OH! I'm gonna get ARed!" so I quickly head to Morris, and there, staring me in the eyes, is Jack Linden! I'm like "Hot damn and a wet trout!" and QUICKLY IM him to let him know I'm cleaning this mess up and how sorry I am. One pan to the sky shows that its blotted out by tons of cedar branches and all that pokey goodness. @_@

Thanks for all the welcome backs, each of you and all of us... together... hope for more happiness and meaningful moments and some moments that don't make sense but nevertheless make us roll in the aisles.

Back to the theme of plot arcs... I have a gaggle (hehehe RFL TRACK!) of ideas I'd like to overlay but it can't come out all at once, because babies just don't do that. They have time, and then they're born.

This one's not on a 9-month timespan but for those of you who have meaningfully asked, yes, last night's stopover wasn't like Santa Claus—in the temporal, not the giftgiving sense. I am here again, for good, for the greater good, etc. etc. etc. as much as possible anyhoooo because my ISP went ca-runk (not to be confused with "crunk";) on me and it's back up soooo...

Finally, again, when I add ;) after a statement, I am joking. This fact was lost on me after not done it here in some time but I'm swimming in the SL Forums again.

I HATE YOU ALL! ;)

(Truth is, the absolute polar opposite... with a cup o' watermelon juice)

I could say it no better than Darko and Paris Cellardoor...

ONE LOVE!!! :D
