2008.06.25 13:00 - PaBing on a Wednesday Afternoon

Adams stood in as the replacement guardian for the afternoon session. She later sent me the following log with her comments. The title is hers too.

When I arrived Dolma was already there.

Adams Rubble: hello Dolma
Adams Rubble: Are you here for the meeting?

Dolma, she said nothing. I tried moving from cushion to cushion. But she said nothing.
I tried a dance routine. But she said nothing. So I sat for awhile. After about five minutes I tried singing.

Adams Rubble: Oh When the Saints
Adams Rubble: Come marching in
Adams Rubble: Oh when the saints come marching in
Adams Rubble: Oh I want to be in their number
Adams Rubble: When the Saints come marching in
Adams Rubble: ta da de da
Adams Rubble: toodle de do de da
Adams Rubble: bop bop bu bop

Still she said nothing and I continued to get sillier

Adams Rubble: P-a-B-ing…..
Adams Rubble: On a Wednesday afterno-o-on
Adams Rubble: P-a-B-ing….
Adams Rubble: Late in the month of Ju-u-ne
Adams Rubble: This pavilion is a good place
Adams Rubble: to do some serious play-ay-ing
Adams Rubble: Thinkin ’bout Be-eee-ing
Adams Rubble: and meetin real good peeee-ople toooooo

Still she said nothing.

Adams Rubble: bop bop be bop
Adams Rubble: When you walk through a storm
Adams Rubble: Keep your head up high
Adams Rubble: and don’t be afraid of the dark
Adams Rubble: at the end of the storrrrrrm
Adams Rubble: is a golden sky
Adams Rubble: and the sweet silver song of the lark
Adams Rubble: hmmmmm forgot the rest
Adams Rubble: ta da daaaaaaaaa. Oh yes
Adams Rubble: Walk on, walk on
Adams Rubble: with hope in your heart
Adams Rubble: and you’ll never walk alonnnnnnne
Adams Rubble: you’ll ne-ver walk alonnnnnnnne
Adams Rubble is wondering where everyone is and whether Dolma is meditating

More silence…….until Fael and Neela arrive

Adams Rubble: Ah, Hi Fael
Fael Illyar is Offline
Adams Rubble: Whooops
Fael Illyar is Online
Adams Rubble: Ahhhhh, Hi Fael
Fael Illyar: Hi :)
Adams Rubble is glad Fael has reappeared
Fael Illyar: looks like I crashed
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: Dolma must be meditating; hasn’t said a word
Adams Rubble: Hi Neela
Fael Illyar: Hello Neela
Neela Blaisdale: Hello Adam and Fael
Neela Blaisdale: Hello
Adams Rubble: Good to see you both
Adams Rubble: I’ve run out of songs to sing

Neela’s AV does a slight jerk to the left and then shoots off to the right, right off the pavilion….

Adams Rubble: Whoa
Adams Rubble: Did Neela fall in the moat?
Fael Illyar: I’ve somehow been noticing the meetings around 10 minutes after the start today
Neela Blaisdale: Yes hating computer lag,hard to walk
Adams Rubble: I know that feeling well Neela
Adams Rubble: I’m always falling off of bridges
Adams Rubble: :)
Neela Blaisdale: I falll all the time
Faenik: なるほど^^
Adams Rubble: A little lag at the wrong time…and SPLASH!!!
Fael Illyar: how bad performance does it take to fall off?
Fael Illyar: ah, unexpected lag
Adams Rubble: overcompensating
Neela Blaisdale: Yup. Interestingly I’m having computer trouble in RL as well
Fael Illyar: since we have no roof, I prefer landing in here instead of next to :)
Fael Illyar: Well, suits my AV better too :)
Neela Blaisdale: Makes sense
Adams Rubble: We should set a landmark on the table
Neela Blaisdale: Great idea
Adams Rubble: haha

We all jump up on the table and set landmarks…

Neela Blaisdale: I have to back towork in RL see you later
Adams Rubble: OK neela :)
Fael Illyar: ok, see you Neela :)
Adams Rubble: bye

Neela departs and Fael and I begin to discuss time

Fael Illyar: This weeks meetings have mostly been quite small for some reason
Adams Rubble: Yes, I’ve been noticing that
Adams Rubble: This is going to be a strange log today…anyway so far
Fael Illyar: Did anything happen before I came?
Adams Rubble: Just me singing
Fael Illyar should’ve set an alarm.

I am not sure whether Fael is referring to my behavior or an alarm clock but I assume the latter

Adams Rubble: Brnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng
Fael Illyar: Well, I have those but … hmmh, maybe I’m not doing them properly today
Adams Rubble: You mean the stops?
Fael Illyar: yes
Adams Rubble: I think I did three
Adams Rubble: I’m way off everything today
Fael Illyar: I usually notice the meeting start at the stop at the latest
Fael Illyar: today I’ve been noticing 10 minutes after one :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Fael Illyar: strange :)
Fael Illyar: even stranger that you’re having similar problems
Adams Rubble: When I get off my schedule, sometimes I have difficulty catching up
Adams Rubble: It has been happending since I started PaB
Fael Illyar: ah, not just today then
Adams Rubble: No a few times
Adams Rubble: There isn’t enough time in the day anymore
Fael Illyar: not so weird then :)
Adams Rubble: No
Adams Rubble: I have to go in a few minutes
Fael Illyar: I was expecting that :)
Faenik: ah :)
Adams Rubble: We ought to say something PaBish
Fael Illyar: oh yes, I could mention the first several lines long piece of text I got during a PaB today
Adams Rubble: oh?
Fael Illyar: I had a bit of trouble putting it to words though :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble just choked on the water she was drinking
Fael Illyar: a dream from which Being is awakening. Us puppets are discovering we’re just parts of the dream and that’s the process with which the dream ends. Until everyone reaches “nirvana”, Being is not fully awake.
Adams Rubble: Oh Fael, now the meeting is official
Adams Rubble: Very nice!
Fael Illyar: First time I remembered to write something down
Adams Rubble: It sometimes comes in handy
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: I like your tag “I am not”

Fael’s tag said “I am not Fael Illyar”

Fael Illyar: :)
Adams Rubble: That could have been a topic for discussion
Adams Rubble: Are you Fael Illyar or not
Fael Illyar: no time for that anymore :)
Adams Rubble: ?
Adams Rubble: haha
Adams Rubble: yes I better go
Fael Illyar: It’s a seeming paradox so I like to use it sometimes :)
Fael Illyar: Ok, See you later :)
Adams Rubble: bye Fael :)
Adams Rubble: I’ll send the log
Fael Illyar: Yes, no point staying here anymore I guess.
Adams Rubble: No, I don’t think so. Dolma is doing something else
Fael Illyar: Bye Dolma
Adams Rubble: bye Dolma
