Actually, what happened is SL was introduced to me at a time I needed it, and, beyond turning out to be therapeutic, it is my new Favorite Thing. I rarely go to my old fora or social networking sites because they are just so much paler compared to my 3-D networking world. FaceSpace-sites...meh: they require coddling. Twitter? No. I sent my son a text message once and got OMG U txtd me MOM. Is that the level of communication I want with my nearest and dearest? No.

I like the 3-D virtual world where I'm now a builder, script-fu mistress, animator, sim-owner AND a really good friend to people all over this planet. Second Life rocks. And a barometer of sorts is that my kid is all over me to get him on the adult grid. It is not going to happen, but I guess I've got the cool points in the bank again.

Oh but the point of this post was to say where I'd been, and why I'd been gone. But I really didn't leave you lovely people -- I just got busy in a fantastic way in a place right next door on the internet...a place of limitless possibilities where you really can create your own world. Okay, yeah, I guess I went crazy.

Just call me Dr Frankenstein!

(I'm glad you're enjoying it.)
