A turkey in the ten!

*giggles at herself* So we went bowling last night in SL and I had an absolute ball! (Pun intended) My SL sweetie decided for our anniversary to have a surprise party for Ahnya and her friends at a bowling alley, and I learned something very important! I SUCK at bowling! But I love having my dear friends around me just relaxing and having fun. I wind up spending so much of my time in game focusing on the club and other work related things that it's soo nice to just kick back and have fun together with a group again.

It's always interesting thinking and trying to express myself as two different people... Ahnya and I (her typist) because in some ways we're very much the same... and in some ways we're very different. I think that's probably common for many folks but it's always odd trying to explain how she can have a sweetie when I'm so happy in my RL relationship. My husband always laughs at me and rolls his eyes when I try explain that it's almost like having a "Choose your own" romance novel, but he humors me.

I have the distinct pleasure of becoming good friends with Ahnya's beau's typist. A really wonderful man and a fantastic father. It's been fun learning about him and his life over the last year, and also just enjoying some fun RP time in game when our schedules seem to collide.

I want to take this time to thank everyone who's made my time online such a joy. And even thank them for the occasional pain... because it reminds me how wonderful reality is. I know we in the US just celebrated Thanksgiving and I think that maybe that's why I'm waxing poetic on the past, but I just have so much to be thankful for! Love you all! Here's a fun little quote that I've heard paraphrased in several different ways, but the message clicks for me...

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out and proclaiming, 'WOOHOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!'"
