Well today is my 3rd SL Birthday, and I am elderly by SL Standards.

I figure that 1 SL Year is equal to about 12 RL Years or 72 Dog Years. So you could say I am one Old Dog...

In the First Year, I was a Toddler to Pre-teen Noobie, and pretty much stumbled around playing and feeling awkward. These types are both awed with each new discovery, and whine about how unfair life is.

In the Second Year, I was the Teen Age and early 20's, where I thought I was a Know-It-All, and no one could tell me a thing.

In the Third Year, I was in the late 20's to late 30's, I relaxed a lot and grew even more. I learned to enjoy the good sides of SL. Being 39 in RL (40 in November), this is pretty much where I am now in life.

Now as a B-Day present I will offer some hints as to what I want...
1) Money - but if you are like me today, you don't have access to your money.
2) Something that you created - While I love seeing what people make in SL, I might rezz it today, and have it disappear out of my inventory,and never see it...
3) An IM - Well if you tried to search for me, you wont find me anyway, and my IMs are usually just capped anyway...
4) A Party - with teleports down and the map half missing, it just might boot me, so NM on that one.
5) They say it is the thought that counts, and since that is a RL thing, and most people are capable of genuine thought, I guess that would be the perfect gift... just think of me today

As this Old SL Man rattles to a close (and starts to doze off), remember the advice that I gave Sweetcandie when we first met... "Sweet, this is SL, don't worry about it.... just relax and make it all you want it to be... now, sit by me and let's watch the fireworks".

:D

Happy birthday :) even if your avatar has only one more year to live (judging by your timetable), you might outlive SL.
