Day after day
Yesterday I was about to log-in to Second Life and my hands just stopped and there I was staring at the screen asking myself “Why?”
Why do I get back over and over, day after day, into that crazy world, even when I am so tired RL that I can barely take my fingers to type.
A Gtalk window popped up – and the answer just appeared in front of me: Friends! Friends are what make me get back every day, not the projects, not the shopping, not even the parties, but People!
Those that already have entered my heart and that I miss deeply and worry about when they are not online. Even though we may not talk for days, I know they are there and that makes me feel warm inside.
Some are gone forever, reasons from either world stole them away from me, but their memory persists.
Others are there, week after week, month after month, sharing good and bad moments, laughter and tears, or just warm silences by the fireplace.
Each of them a precious stone I cherish and love.
I clicked the connect button and…
Oh no!!!! IM hell again! *winks
And what a rich stone, i´m, huahuahua.

Greats from Coimbra my dear!
Um amigo é o bem mais precioso da nossa vida.
Eu, pessoalmente, trocava mil amores por um amigo.
E sendo esse amigo tu, mama mia, nem queria saber de amores.
E a SL mata-nos, de vicieira, de amabilidade, de companheirismo,
ajuda-nos a vencer ou a mascarar uma solidão e uma lacuna nos
nossos sentimentos, nos despojos do dia a dia de labuta sem fim.
O que mudou em mim foi ter mais um objectivo, de trabalho e de contactos, em vez de deitar-me às 2 a ver televisão em brada, deito-me às 4, saudoso de estar a sair, por ter que deixar gente conhecida e amiga, e de ter que parar com o meu espírito criativo.
Penalizados? A minha gata, que perdeu metade dos mimos que tinha, LOLL, a minha mãe, xiiii, até me esqueço de lhe telefonar, e o meu corpo, pois esqueço-me de jantar, huahuahua ( bom, desde que entrei para o SL, em Julho, emagreci 16 quilos ).
De resto, sem o SL nunca te teria conhecido, provavelmente.
E outras pessoas.
E isso diz tudo sobre a minha resposta/análise à tua perspectiva.
Beijões.
I made a new friend this week, this professor from my home town, and he said exactly the same thing. The most important thing in SL, why we are here for, are our friends, not the projects, the meetings etc….and that is exactly the same feeling I have, over and over again. That is why I call them SL friends, and not chat buddies, as someone made a remark to me some time ago, saying that the people in our friendslist are chat buddies and not real friends.

And because you are in my friendslist……(but I will see to it not to IM you too much,
And isn’t it amazing how easy it is to make friends here? Things just don’t seem to have the same rythm as in RL. Everythings develops quickly.
And Looker, your IMs are always welcome, I always have time for friends
