life has been crazy! Real life commitments have made it impossible for me to be in SL as much as usual. Therefore, I haven't had much to say here of course. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it is going to let up anytime soon, so my presence and Flynn's at the beach is going to be limited in the for-see-able (no matter how I spelled that it looked wrong) future.
We were at the beach last night for a beach party - and it was veeery quiet. Talk to Requiem (my brother and surf god) a bit. He was with friends, and their conversation went way over my head. I gotta learn to speak another language. They were having a lovely conversation in french. After a couple of minutes I gave up. My junior high french classes only left me with understanding about every one word out of 30. Somebody said d'accord. I know that one. It means okay. Someone said attend, which I thing means listen, or pay attention. Other than that... no clue. I did catch that they were just randomly typing letters sometimes. I think they were messing with me. It's not nice to make fun of the linguistically challenged, you know! Anyway after a couple of minutes I politely excused myself (stomped off and pouted), and joined Malcolm and Flynn.
Malcolm and Emme are getting married tonight. Flynn and I are invited and I can't wait to go! I don't get the getting married in SL thing. It is probably just because I am an old married lady... but I am not sure I see the point. *sigh* I am sure it will come to me eventually and then I will feel like an idiot for saying, "I don't get it." In any event, I am sure it will be lovely and fun to see everyone, especially in something other than bikinis and board shorts!
Warren was there and joined us for a bit. He was standing with Req's crowd when I popped in. No idea if he speaks french or not. Matter of fact, for the most part, I have no idea what anyone speaks in RL. In my ignorance, I assume everyone is American and speaks English. I am sooo self-centered. I have finally got it in my head that Req is french. I feel stupid for asking where people are from, like either I should already know, or that is personal and I shouldn't ask. I need to get in the habit of looking a people's profiles.
Seano, my surf hero, and Lira popped in. Seano and Flynn had an imprompto surf chat and Lira went offline after awhile. I decided I needed to surf - I have been fighting the waves and their updates lately. Used my new board - used the beach board and all I can say is "AARRRGGGHHHHHHH!" I don't think that has a french translation. I keep getting stuck a third of the way from the end. and I can't end the ride soon enough. I try, and I try, and TRY! But every single flippin' time - the wave throws my up into the beach. I went and asked Seano and Flynn to watch what I am doing wrong. No clue. They both jumped on their boards after a bit, and tried it out. No opinion from Flynn (imagine that!) and after Seano and I tangled, stuck together the whole ride, he gave up too. I managed to avoid running into him on the wave 3-4 times. I am getting better at that. After the last time I got thrown up on the beach and got stuck in a tree (I am NOT kidding!), Flynn went to work to try to make a wave break or something. Whatever, just fix the damn thing. I have to go into edit everytime and position myself back in the water. Dork, dork, dork!
After that, Alex came for a visit. Didn't get to visit though... he must have crashed 5-6 times in 10 minutes. Bailey and I just keep up with "He's gone again" and "He's back," and "Welcome Back." About that time I had to bail to RL.
Okay, done bitching. For now.
