Radio silence

March 11, 2008 by London Spengler

Zippora just commented about my radio silence, and yes, it is time to break it.

Some RL changes make awfully hard to find free time for anything; I’ve been trying to write this brief post for ages, almost have no time at all for SL, and the little I have I use to try to keep in contact with my closer ones.

I am not leaving SL, not leaving my friends and not leaving blogging; but for a long time, maybe some months, it is painfully obvious that I will not be able to pay much attention to any of them.

There are hundreds of things I whould had liked to comment about, like some interesting posts, Peluda’s (that it seems has dissapeared) and Cassius’ new blogs, but I’ll simply mention Faerie Hax new neko skins (FH skins), that shows how her skill has matured from the original files to her own personal style.

As a funny ending note, there are the results from a pair of memes: The flirt one because I like it’s results (even if they where obvious :-p), and Zippora’s one because it brought me back, even if it was for a brief time.

You Are a Fun Flirt

You just can’t help yourself… you flirt with everyone you know.

Guys, girls, crushes, and friends. They’re all victims to your charm.

You’re into silly innuendos, sexy jokes, and playful touches.

You are a huge flirt, yet you never make anyone (too) uncomfortable!

What Kind of Flirt Are You?

The book nearest to me when I readed Zippora challengue was Rext Stout’s Prisioner Base, a Nero Wolfe novel; I could use the excuse that I am too busy to read “good” literature, but the truth is that Wolfe novels are one of my favorite books; not their the plot, that it isn’t too good, but the stile. I am also a Terry Pratchett’s fan, and I think that my own style has borrowed a lot from him.

Continuing the meme, here is my real bad traslation from spanish of the three given lines:

“Wolfe grunted, slightly vexed, I think, about discovering that a towel seller earned half that he did”.

Now I should tag five people, but I’ve already stretched myself too much; it is time to drop the courtain.

See you, hopely soon;

London Spengler.

I miss you. I know I am not one of the “closer ones”, but your writing and personality is still a part of my Second Life and my whole life. Hope all is good.

*pets the London*

I was going to say hi last time I saw you online, but I feel bad to even say hi sometimes, knowing how busy you are…

Casius, thanks, and sorry again for missing your ceremony. And yes, everything is good, only soooo busy :-p.

Shadow, Casius, and so many more… It is true that I have little “closer ones”, and also that I almost never say “hi” to anybody, since there is the risk to be answered back and start a chat :-p.

That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy them, or that you aren’t important to me; I put the blame on a overpowering feeling of not having time for anything, not even seeing my love. Consider that I get more or less four hours a week at SL, so I’ve becomed more and more shy and retiring, but at the same time, I miss that old days when I could simply tp and talk with anybody for a while.

Thanks for your patience, your understanding and, of course, for petting me :-) Don’t feel bad about saying “hi”; I’ll answer, talk for a little, enjoy it and probably run away soon. I’ll also try to say hi more often *hugs you*

A Fun Flirt, how true ;)

Good to hear that you have not completely disappeared. As many others, you are missed around the grid, but as we all know, RL always comes first (or should …), so take your time and we will be happy to have you back for a while some day!

*hugs*

I am certainly not one of the “closer ones” as we have never met or spoken….but I love your blog, have for a while, and miss your words.

Take care and hurry back when you can.

Hi London, thank you for that lovely compliment!

Like all of your friends I miss you deeply, but we know that you will be on when you can, and not when you can’t, so we’ll wait until you can ^.^

*hugs*

/me hugs you both, feeling a small pang of guilt about taking so much time to answer back.
