The storm lifts

Feeling *so* much better. I started a new blog over at http://slblog.sciamachy.org.uk/ for all my SL drama. Go read about it there if you care about SL type stuff. Meanwhile back in Real Life (RL) things aren't going so bad. It's amazing how having a good SL can help you have a good RL. You get up early in the morning to see your SL friends, grab a shower when they do, match your schedule to theirs & it gets you out to work on time, all clean & nice & happy, a spring in your step & so on, knowing that when you log on tonight, you have people you can hang with & who make you feel wonderful, special, handsome, intelligent & wanted. I love my SL, because it inspires me to try more in my RL. It validates that I *can* be these things, with enough RL work. It shows me that I am a likeable person, that I can be romantic, heroic, have people in fits of laughter, put together a ripping DJ set, care for people & make people feel similarly special & loved. It's a good thing, when it's going well. Everyone needs a good, healthy fantasy life, for it's in play that we find out who we are.
