Gravy!
If you want to reconnect with a lot of your friends, the best thing you can do is to change your email address and send everyone in your address book that new address.
Wow! I've talked to 5 people just now that I haven't chatted with in years!
:)

Oooh... that's not what I was thinking, but that's an interesting idea! Very small. :)

I was thinking in between the rows of little Mickeys, in a delicate, smallish cursive.

I just bought a freaking adorable top at Kohl's. Technically, it's too small for me, but because it's a wrap top, it's workable. And seriously, it's so freaking awesome that it's worth it! Just saying.

I disagree. Lively is nothing more than a series of 3D chat rooms. Unlike SL, you can't create content or own land, and there is no economy.

JWB -- speaking of the SL economy/content creation, you should post pics of your swanky shop in the SL thread! :D

Am I the only one that shies away from any type of live chat?

I like the message board format. It gives one time to reflect upon the prose of others, craft a delicate response, step out for a dump, wait for a reply, carefully read responses to your response, do a little actual work, research the depths of the Internet to support your assertion that the initial response was clearly flawed, get drunk, and post a total drunken rage.

The pace of it all makes me happy. Live chats always seem to end up as:

- Hey
- Hey
- What's new?
- Nothing, you?
- Same.
.

.

Eh, spend enough time IMing and that's what you end up doing with it anyway.

Perhaps I shall.....
