I’ve taken a long, long holiday form blogging and still don’t have enugh free time but, as Lillie says, I’ve been bitten by the bug and cannot stay away.It is hard to keep quiet when you have things to say, and I’ve a lot of them; comments about posts that I’ve readed, like Zippora’s, things that have happened, some deep insight (ok, as deep as usual, that it isn’t probably too much) about themes as variated as being tagged by theshadow, cybering, the should be and shouldn’t be of marketing, child avies, Prokofy’s was right about something once (yes, I hate to admit it, but she was), etc.
But not today; there will be a steady set of posts, probably two or three a week, and the usual comments to promote my shop (you know, Christmas is coming; stay tuned at this blog, because a special gift is coming soon, too :-). There will be sex and the classical naked pictures. But not today.
Because today is a day for friends.
This morning I logged at SL to test some scripts, and one of my friends was at home, so I saluted and hugged her. Then another one logged, and I decided I should jump and give a hug, too; and while I was doing it, it comed to me, I had a vision, I should go and hug everybody on my friend list!
All right, I make it sound like I was kidding, but I was serious. My friend list has grown and it is full of wonderfull people, and I almost don’t see or even talk with most of them. Worse, they usually address me and say hello, and even if I always answer and take the time to chat for a while, it is clear that I should do the effort and call somebody by myself. Friends are to be cared and ternured, and I rarely do it.
I know I’ve said it often enough, but my friend list makes me unhappy.
So, giving a short hug from time to time seemed a good way to keep in contact; to say here I am, you matter to me. And of course, I failed miserabily :-p. I only was able to jump twice, and both times I stayed and spended a lot of time with them. No script tested, more online friends that didn’t got their hugs.
But in the other hand, I didn’t feel guilty anymore, so it was a great success!
So I am going to try to come back, slowly and steadly, to my old life; no, not the old, but a better one. I’ll hug my friends, post, and enjoy my RL and SL lives. The freebies that will come are only a token; you have my care, respect, and the hope that you will get a wonderfull live.
Merry Christmas :-)
Aww, Merry Christmas to you, too! And welcome back =)
Wooohoooo!
What a wonderful holiday present!!
Welcome back, love!
I got a hug!
I got a hug!

Answering you in order….
October: Thanks *hugs you now, and if I see you at SL will give you a big one :-)*
Soph: Thanks *hugs now, and will look for you at Extropia and pounce you*
Faerie: Silly :-p *hugs you*
Welcome back, Miss Spengler, and a merry christmas to you!
Funny thing is that I had a similar idea of hugging all my friends when I was in a very “huggy” mood lately, but I failed even more miserably, as I only got to hug three people via IM, due my limited time. But I’ll try to continue the hugging spree soon, so beware ;)
We should be carefull, or we will end starting a new meme :-p
*Hugs you :-)*
Hon, if you really plan all your on-line friends in one long wave, you have to practice :p
And you have to jump really fast so we have no opportunity to grab you and tie you. You know that most (if not all) of your friends usually have some restraint equipment handy. So… jumsp in, hug, say one line and jump next. No waiting for an answer.
Now really, instead of making another meme…. I think I have an idea…..
LOL, a hug meme: I want to be tagged for this one! Or was I, when you hugged me in your last comment? ;-)
But seriously, a wonderful idea, as I can’t even stay in contact as much as I would like with my drasticly reduced friendslist lately :(
Oh I’d almost forget: great to see you again here :)
ok…. I let it calm down and I still like the idea…
let’s make it after new year’s eve…. first two days or something…. all of us (and all the rest we get into the meme) open our visibility on map to all our friends, those that we would hug in turns like this…. so we have two days of jumping all over the grid, humping each other without warning and the rest of the fun :p
Just to set times….
LOL, I’m in! :)
mmm…. you mean I risk being tied up, dandellion? Restrained and subjected at the will of somebody else? *smiles dreamly*
Zippora, thanks for the welcome :-). The hug thing wasn’t really a meme, but a sudden impulse to see my friends (btw, I should add some of you to my friends list, even if you come from my third life :-). I hugged you because I consider you a friend, because I liked it, and because it is fun.
And to all of you, about the new meme: I like the idea, even if it is a bit risky. I mean, some of us are involved in some *coughs* “special” activities sometimes, and it can be akward; but I’ll ask Natsumi’s permission and, if she agrees, count me in from the 31 of december to the 2 of january :-)
errrrrr… i think it is ok, to turn map visibility off while being restrained and subjected to the will of somebody else. :)
of course, if you don’t expect us to watch, which is also legitimate….
*smiles* You know, that gives me a good idea for a post…
[...] is not a meme but a lot of fun. It started couple of days ago when London dropped in front of me while I was planting forest on my little hill. She was in a mission…. [...]
OK, that trackback above is an official start of the action :)
