2011.04.25 07:00 - Weeping Willow

The Guardian for this meeting was Eden Haiku. The comments are by Eden Haiku. Attending this Easter Monday morning session were: Alfred, Bleu, Storm, Zen, Riddle, Agatha, Sunshine and Lucinda. 

Zen rezzed a giant willow in the pavilion that ended hovering over the pavilion as he tried to take it when leaving

Alfred Kelberry: oui :)
Eden Haiku: hello Alfred :))
Alfred Kelberry: eden the poetic cutie :)
Eden Haiku: Oui :))
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Eden Haiku: It's very quiet this morning Alfred.
Alfred Kelberry: your dress nicely matches the lilies :)
Eden Haiku: We can have a nice quiet conversation. Time for you to confide maybe?
Eden Haiku: A puppy must have so many secrets:))
Alfred Kelberry: as we all do :)
Eden Haiku: hehe
Alfred Kelberry: wait, a snow?
Eden Haiku: lilies are lavender flowers. Thanks for noticing they match my outfit.
Alfred Kelberry: odd :)
Eden Haiku: Yes, I know, it's been snowing for a while. It's odd, yes...
Alfred Kelberry: but cute :)
Eden Haiku: wonders if the snow is connected to the grass :))
Alfred Kelberry: i like various oddities :)
Eden Haiku: I do too!
Eden Haiku: Hi Bleu!
Alfred Kelberry: bleu!
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
Bleu Oleander: hi Eden, boxy
Eden Haiku: Was that boxy barking or your RL puppy Bleu?
Bleu Oleander: snow?
Alfred Kelberry: hehe
Bleu Oleander: must be boxy
Alfred Kelberry: :P
Eden Haiku: Yes, it is snowing. Maybe it's flower petals?
Eden Haiku: Cherry blossoms snowing?
Bleu Oleander: how are you both?
Eden Haiku: It seemed to materialize when I commanded the grass...
Alfred Kelberry: i'm good :)

Alfred asks a question

Alfred Kelberry: a question: how many friends you have?
Bleu Oleander: in sl?
Alfred Kelberry: anywhere
Eden Haiku: A profound question Alf. Thinking....
Bleu Oleander: lots
Bleu Oleander: can I count you?
Alfred Kelberry: only you can answer :)
Alfred Kelberry: zen-san

--BELL--

Bleu Oleander: I'll count you :)
Alfred Kelberry: thank you :)
Zen Arado: Hi Eden, Bleu, Alf
Bleu Oleander: that's an interesting question .... does friendship need to be counted both ways?
Eden Haiku: In RL, a really close friend and then two other close friends (not as close). Then lots of friends but further. My best friend lives in Paris so I don't see her that often :) In SL, I count the three of you as dear friends :))
Zen Arado: aw
Eden Haiku: hello Zen :))
Bleu Oleander: me too Eden, nice :)
Eden Haiku: What about you Alfred, do you have many friends?
Alfred Kelberry: no
Zen Arado: how many is many?
Eden Haiku: I'm glad to be among your friends :)
Zen Arado: too many and they aren't close
Bleu Oleander: few close ones and many not so close
Eden Haiku: Yes, Zen. With friendship comes responsibility.
Bleu Oleander: friendships take time
Zen Arado: yep and take up your time
Eden Haiku: It does take time.
Bleu Oleander: so many friends ... so little time
Bleu Oleander: hi Riddle

As Riddle comes in, Alfred hallucinates a cute elephant, as always:-): then he sees a tree. This time, it's no hallucination: Zen did rezz a giant willow tree!

Alfred Kelberry: cute elephant :)
Zen Arado: Hi Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: Hi little boxy dog
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
Eden Haiku: Good morning Riddle! We have been talking about friendship. A topic Alfred introduced.
Riddle Sideways: Hi Eden, blu, zen
Bleu Oleander: the snow is confusing my brain .... it's sunny and 90's here
Zen Arado: naughty
Zen Arado: it's 12 C here
Alfred Kelberry: oh nooes...
Alfred Kelberry: grass is gone
Alfred Kelberry: yay! :)
Alfred Kelberry: it's back
Riddle Sideways: so the mind is wired that way?
Eden Haiku: Was trying to see if the snow came with the grass but apparently no...
Riddle Sideways: boxy dog, man's best friend
Bleu Oleander: hey Aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Greetings :)
Alfred Kelberry: aga girl :)
Eden Haiku: Hello Agatha! How nice to see you!
Zen Arado: must be a weather generator somewhere
Zen Arado: Hi Aga :)
Alfred Kelberry: not so quiet now, eden :)
Riddle Sideways: Hi agger s
Agatha Macbeth: This place is starting to look like a horticultural centre
Eden Haiku: Will have to wait to hear all your secrets Alfred :)
Agatha Macbeth gets out the lawnmower
Eden Haiku: hehe, my fresh lavender, please don't!
Alfred Kelberry: *tickles aga*
Agatha Macbeth giggles
Alfred Kelberry: do you have many friends, aga?
Agatha Macbeth: Yeah, millions :p
Alfred Kelberry: nice
Eden Haiku: Alfred brought a topic this morning: a very interesting one: friendship.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, nice
Alfred Kelberry: a tree!
Agatha Macbeth: Is Fox here?
Alfred Kelberry: i love it
Agatha Macbeth: Me too
Riddle Sideways notes that alf runs quickly to the tree
Zen Arado: it's agiant willow
Zen Arado: too big for my property
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Agiant Willow
Eden Haiku: Beautiful tree Zen.
Alfred Kelberry: it has a retreat feeling now :)

Eden asks a question

Eden Haiku: is this willow a weeping willow?
Agatha Macbeth: It has a 'I can't see anything' feel to me...
Zen Arado: it's a happy willow
Bleu Oleander: hehe
Alfred Kelberry: you have to be happy to see it
Eden Haiku: Did any of you ever see a dryad, an leprechaun or any of these "invisible" creatures?
Riddle Sideways: willows "sway" so nicely in the wind
Alfred Kelberry: no
Alfred Kelberry: they are invisible for a reason, i guess :)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yeah, several
Riddle Sideways: maybe have
Eden Haiku: They do Riddle, especially in the spring, when the branches are such a tender green, they sway beautifully!
Eden Haiku: tell us more Agatha?
Agatha Macbeth: More about what, sorry?
Alfred Kelberry: dryads
Eden Haiku: About the dryads you saw?
Agatha Macbeth: Tree spirits ( I think)
Eden Haiku: Yes,
Agatha Macbeth: Oh you meet quite a few in SL
Agatha Macbeth: Depends where you go
Eden Haiku: I meant in RL though :)
Agatha Macbeth: Along with with faes, nymphs, elves etc
Agatha Macbeth: Oh in RL
Agatha Macbeth: That would be silly :p
Zen Arado: how many prims has the tree?
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, in here all these worlds come alive :)
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Riddle Sideways: being able to see them includes friendship. you must be a friend before even trying to see
Bleu Oleander: http://dryad.stanford.edu/
Alfred Kelberry: 2
Agatha Macbeth offers a tree friendship
Alfred Kelberry: stormy
Bleu Oleander: hi Storm
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Stormy

--BELL--

Friends

Storm Nordwind: Hi everyone
Eden Haiku: Hello Storm :) We have been talking about friendship and dryads.
Zen Arado: yeh amazing I think
Zen Arado: Hi Storm :)
Agatha Macbeth: You must be the branch manager :o
Riddle Sideways: morning Storm
Agatha Macbeth: I'm in a loony mood today
Bleu Oleander: "branch manager" hehe
Zen Arado: the tree surgeon
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Alfred Kelberry: stormy, how many friends you have?
Storm Nordwind: In SL?
Alfred Kelberry: anywhere
Storm Nordwind: What do you define as a friend?
Alfred Kelberry: you do :)
Eden Haiku: loves Agathita loony moods :)))
Agatha Macbeth: It's evidently a broad subject Storm :p
Bleu Oleander: how are your sl friends different from your rl friends?
Alfred Kelberry: i can't define it for you
Agatha Macbeth: Virtual?
Storm Nordwind: I didn't have a real RL friend till I was 44, that much I do know.
Agatha Macbeth: OMG
Alfred Kelberry: can you tell more?
Eden Haiku: Really ? How interesting...
Storm Nordwind: Of course I THOUGHT I did. Until I found a real friend.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Alfred Kelberry: yes...
Eden Haiku: real friends are rare and precious yes.
Agatha Macbeth agrees
Alfred Kelberry: *gives stormy a warm pat on his back*
Storm Nordwind smiles
Eden Haiku: (((Storm)))
Storm Nordwind: Most of my friends have either been female, except for one or two gay couples
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Storm Nordwind: Recently it has changed a little
Storm Nordwind: I blame PaB ;-)
Eden Haiku: hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Yeah, that's PaB for you :]
Riddle Sideways: (((Storm)))
Riddle Sideways: (((PaB)))
Alfred Kelberry: i think it's more preferable than the opposite in your case :)
Agatha Macbeth: (((everyone)))
Eden Haiku: strange sentence Boxy...
Alfred Kelberry: a practical one, eden :)
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's Russian? ;-)
Agatha Macbeth gets out the vodka
Eden Haiku: Is Boxy really Russian? The question has been haunting me...(((Alfred)))
Alfred Kelberry: *sips tea*
Riddle Sideways: does it matter?
Alfred Kelberry: apparently
Agatha Macbeth: Not really
Bleu Oleander: what does matter?
Eden Haiku: drinks water to wash down yesterday's Cahors wine :)
Storm Nordwind gets out the superior Mongolian vodka
Agatha Macbeth: Woohoooooo
Agatha Macbeth: Come back Genghis Khan
Bleu Oleander holds out her glass
Agatha Macbeth: or don't on second thoughts
Eden Haiku: picturing Agatha in Mongolian steps with a bottle of vodka, drinking as she rides her pure breed horse...
Riddle Sideways: friendship has many meanings. levels/degrees of friends
Agatha Macbeth: Yay! Me too
Eden Haiku: Yes Riddle. What did you mean earlier by "maybe have" about seeing dryads and elves?

Riddle's bunny slippers

Riddle Sideways just noticed that ya'll are such good friend to not mention the bunny slippers
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Agatha Macbeth: What bunny slippers?
Riddle Sideways: :)
Eden Haiku: The ones he's wearing (just noticing now)
Storm Nordwind: We just don't look at people's feet
Alfred Kelberry: aga has nice boots :)
Eden Haiku: I suppose you are on Easter Monday holiday Riddle?
Agatha Macbeth: And hopefully don't smell them either...
Bleu Oleander: take a lap around the fountain Riddle
Riddle Sideways removed them
Bleu Oleander: everyone stand up so we can see their shoes
Alfred Kelberry: :/
Agatha Macbeth: Ewww
Alfred Kelberry: bleu :)
Eden Haiku: Overhearing my cousin downstairs. She's taking my Dad to the Maple Sugar place today :)
Agatha Macbeth: Aw, nice edie :)
Alfred Kelberry: *shows off his paws*
Zen Arado: 'Under the spreading greenwood tree , the village smithy stands'
Agatha Macbeth: You can see mine better sitting down
Bleu Oleander: what happened to the bunnies?
Eden Haiku: You took the bunny slippers off Riddle?
Alfred Kelberry: zen :)
Agatha Macbeth: Damn skirt gets in the way
Bleu Oleander: (like a 7th inning stretch)
Alfred Kelberry: the tree looks really lovely here
Eden Haiku: The bunny slippers shied away?
Riddle Sideways: sorry removed before reading chat
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed it does my cute box

Eden Haiku: ;)
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
Agatha Macbeth: Shhhhhhh

Agatha Macbeth: He looks ok to me
Riddle Sideways: friends, let friends nap anytime
Alfred Kelberry: not while driving

Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully
Alfred Kelberry: 1 pm dream workshop (a reminder)

Riddle Sideways reads tues 1pm. sent monday

Riddle Sideways: ty eden
Zen Arado: yeh Riddle :)
Eden Haiku: Maxine is not a friend and I do not know her very well, but I feel just like she's a friend. She's such a friendly person, isn't she? So loving.
Alfred Kelberry: yes
Eden Haiku: Any of you going to the Seattle retreat on Vashon Island Maxine is organizing?
Riddle Sideways: would dearly like to
Bleu Oleander: not sure yet
Zen Arado: sits quietly
Agatha Macbeth: Apparently it's a misprint it IS tomorrow
Riddle Sideways: Amtrak has a sleeper train that goes right there
Eden Haiku: We are Monday Agatha. Tomorrow is Tuesday.
Zen Arado: I am going to a zen retreat tomorrow - if I can get a lift there
Eden Haiku: Oh Zen, I read you had been at Samye Ling lately? I have been there, many years ago.
Zen Arado: oh?
Eden Haiku: This is such a small world :)
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, the Scottish yaks
Zen Arado: I am writing a piece about it on my blog
Zen Arado: with short video clips
Eden Haiku: Yes, that was back in 1978, just a house by then. Now, it's a big place, I saw the links you posted.
Zen Arado: went to see Ringu Tulku
Eden Haiku: Do we have a link to your blog Zen?
Zen Arado: yeh they are always building
Zen Arado: yeh but I only got one video on it so far
Eden Haiku: Would love to read more about your experience.
Zen Arado: http://johnhtaylor.wordpress.com/
Eden Haiku: Ah, thanks Zen.
Zen Arado: takes ages to upload videos
Eden Haiku: And Bleu, thanks for the link to Drya you posted earlier. Will explore :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hair Drya
Eden Haiku: *Dryad
Bleu Oleander: yw Eden :)

Eden asks her question again

Eden Haiku: Storm, dar friend, have you ever seen a dryad, an elf or a leprechaun (in RL) ?
Agatha Macbeth: 'Nymphs and shepherds come away'
Eden Haiku: *dear
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dar
Storm Nordwind: Sure I have

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth smiles
Eden Haiku: loony Aggers :)))
Agatha Macbeth: Yep :)))
Eden Haiku: Stepping onto silence to plead for more about dryads from Storm...
Bleu Oleander: well, friends :), have to go .... take care all
Storm Nordwind waves
Eden Haiku: Bye Bleu :)))
Agatha Macbeth: Bye sweet Bleu :)
Zen Arado: bye Bleu
Riddle Sideways: take care blu
Eden Haiku: I'm very curious about these beings we might see in the parallel worlds close to us...
Storm Nordwind: Just because I see them and converse with them (if they choose), doesn't mean anyone else can and that I'm not just simply mad! ;->>
Eden Haiku: Trying to under
Eden Haiku: understand this last sentence...
Agatha Macbeth: Different being, different wavelengths
Riddle Sideways: understood storm
Eden Haiku: I know I had this ability as a child and recovered some as an adult, just a few glimpses.
Eden Haiku: Yes, wavelenghts Agatha.
Zen Arado: listens with open mind
Agatha Macbeth: Oh I saw some pretty funny things as a kid
Riddle Sideways: had ability in mid 20-30
Eden Haiku: Read this funny poem by Sylvia Plath this morning: "On the Difficulty of Conjuring Up a Dryad"
Agatha Macbeth: I don't usually associate Sylvia Plath with 'funny' :p
Agatha Macbeth: Deranged, yes
Eden Haiku: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL_yMbOTd8o
Eden Haiku: She reads it herself on YouTube
Storm Nordwind winces at the idea of conjuring up any being if they don't particularly want to be!
Zen Arado: doesn't know what a dryad is
Eden Haiku: It's a tree spirit Zen .
Agatha Macbeth nods
Eden Haiku: A being that lives in the forest
Zen Arado: wonder if there are any in SL?
Eden Haiku: In Greek mythology
Agatha Macbeth: A friend of the Green Man

Eden tries to explain her curiosity about dryads

Eden Haiku: I'm writing about an episode when I was two years old and by myself in the woods.
Agatha Macbeth: O.O
Zen Arado: 'cold vision will have no counterfeit palmed off on it'
Agatha Macbeth: Right, Zen
Eden Haiku: I was escaping, on my way to see the angels as there was a road called "Montee des Anges" on the other side of the woods.
Agatha Macbeth listens
Eden Haiku: Never saw the angels, but it seems I'm recovering a memory about dryads.
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Eden Haiku: Weeping around fallen trees. There had been a tempest the day before.
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Eden Haiku: And as I'm writing, it's all wrapped into anguish.
Eden Haiku: That's why I'm so curious about your experiences with these "invisible" beings.
Eden Haiku: If any :)
Storm Nordwind notes that there is often a discrepancy between what actually exists, and the romantic vision of writers who know what they would LIKE to exist!

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Sadly yes, storm
Agatha Macbeth: There seems to be always a great deal of subjectivity in this kind of thing. Along the same lines as UFO abductions/sightings
Eden Haiku: shutting up
Agatha Macbeth: No, don't shut up!
Agatha Macbeth: Carry on :)
Eden Haiku: almost crying
Zen Arado: it's interesting
Agatha Macbeth hugs Edie
Riddle Sideways: as Storm said what you may see/tell may not be received by others
Zen Arado: intriguing
Eden Haiku: why do you say so so harshly Storm?
Agatha Macbeth nods @ Rid
Storm Nordwind: I'm not harsh. I'm just a pragmatist. I see what I see. I hear what I hear.
Agatha Macbeth: Aw, Stormy's bark is worse than his bite [winks]
Zen Arado: maybe only certain people CAN see it
Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
Agatha Macbeth: Yes Zen, exactly
Eden Haiku: You are lucky to never be confused. I'm always wandering in a forest of confusion.
Zen Arado: the rest just dismiss
Eden Haiku: Never sure of what I see, never sure of what I hear.
Storm Nordwind: Perhaps. But It can be developed Zen. As any latent ability.
Agatha Macbeth: Life IS confusing Edie
Agatha Macbeth: And confusing
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Zen Arado: and subjective
Agatha Macbeth: That too

Asking permission?

Storm Nordwind: One thing is important, in my view...
Zen Arado: it's all sunjective
Zen Arado: subjective*
Agatha Macbeth: God, none of us can spell today
Storm Nordwind: when dealing with anyone, in any realm, I believe it's important to get their active permission and cooperation
Zen Arado: I can spell...just can't type :)
Agatha Macbeth: :DDDDDD
Zen Arado: it's the right letters....but not necessarily in the right order....
Agatha Macbeth: Thanks Eric :p
Eden Haiku: when a child of two, you think you need to ask permission to a dryad when you are desperate and lost in the woods?
Zen Arado: releases Aga's lopels
Zen Arado: lapels?
Agatha Macbeth: Leave my lopels alone! :D
Agatha Macbeth: And what have you done with your nose?
Zen Arado: more realistic nose
Storm Nordwind: For example, if I wanted to write about someone's personal life, I would ask them what they thought about it first and respect their wishes. With beings in other realms, i think it's the same. If people don't ask permission, and ask what the being would like to have said about them, I think it's unlikely that future cooperation will be forthcoming.
Agatha Macbeth: Were you lost then, edie?
Zen Arado: Hi Sun:)
Storm Nordwind: Hi Sun!
Sunshine Vayandar: hi all ;)
Eden Haiku: Yes Aga, I was.
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Sun :)
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Sunshine Vayandar: meep!
Riddle Sideways: Hi Sun
Agatha Macbeth: How did you find your way out again?
Eden Haiku: Hello (((Sunshine))) happy to see you ;)
Zen Arado: sounds frightening Eden
Sunshine Vayandar: hi Eden ;)) great to see you too - nice to see all ;)
Eden Haiku: He found me Aga. The one I was escaping.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Eden Haiku: It was.
Zen Arado: especially for a child
Storm Nordwind doesn't understand Eden's story and apologizes for upsetting anyone. He just tries to answer questions and speaks from very long and extensive experience.
Eden Haiku: It's a difficult scene to write about.
Zen Arado: but we only seem to see such things as children
Eden Haiku: Yes, I understand Storm.
Zen Arado: adult minds become closed and skeptical
Agatha Macbeth: Please don't distress yourself Edie
Agatha Macbeth: Always another time...
Eden Haiku: I'm fine Agatha, even though I'm crying.
Sunshine Vayandar hopes Edie is ok .... not sure what the chat was about ...
Agatha Macbeth: Well, I do that all the time, so I know...
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Eden Haiku: I woke up at 6 this morning and decided I was going to write about it, even if it's really difficult.
Eden Haiku: And the dryads came up.
Agatha Macbeth: Writing about it will be the best way to release it
Zen Arado: sounds like even thinking about it is distressing
Eden Haiku: Oh, don't worry Sunshine.
Agatha Macbeth: Even if you only write about it for yourself

A typo wizard conjured up our dear (((Sunshine))) who is bringing the wonderdul PaB "mangas" she's been working on

Sun is showing us the illustrated PaB story she's been working on: Agatha will come up with the term 'manga' 

Riddle Sideways wondering if "[08:19] Zen (zen.arado): it's all sunjective" misspeeling brought Sun here?
Eden Haiku: We have been talking about friendship
Sunshine Vayandar sends a hug to Eden
Zen Arado: writing is good therapy
Agatha Macbeth smiles @ Rid
Agatha Macbeth: Agreed, Zen
Eden Haiku: and about dryads,
Zen Arado: he he Riddle
Eden Haiku: The thing is I'm not writing for myself.
Agatha Macbeth: Just synchronicity probably
Zen Arado: Sunchronicity
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Agatha Macbeth laughs
Eden Haiku: laughing at "sunjective" typo that conjured up Sunshine :))

--BELL--

Zen Arado: I'm a typo wizard :)
Agatha Macbeth: Or something
Eden Haiku: You are (((Zen)))
Sunshine Vayandar: ;))
Riddle Sideways: was thinking conjuring works that way
Riddle Sideways: was thinking "having to write it out" works that way
Sunshine Vayandar: I just wrote a story today ... may be you recognize it ;)
Eden Haiku: works Riddle?
Sunshine Vayandar: ops sorry Storm ;)
Agatha Macbeth: Wow
Sunshine Vayandar: I am busy helping Adams
Sunshine Vayandar: with the birthday party ;)
Agatha Macbeth: You too? :p
Eden Haiku: How nice Sun!
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Sunshine Vayandar: yes I am getting there Aga ;)
Agatha Macbeth: (Tell me about it)
Sunshine Vayandar: hehe ;)
Sunshine Vayandar: I am trying to see what fits into the time I have
Sunshine Vayandar: The founders session was such a special session
Agatha Macbeth: This is wonderful Sun
Eden Haiku: I like the cartoon bubbles!
Sunshine Vayandar: and somehow while I was thinking how to write about it ....
Eden Haiku: Or the phylacters [in French the word describes the text balloons in comic strips]
Sunshine Vayandar: it turned into this hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Is it in PowerPoint ?
Zen Arado: nice Sun
Riddle Sideways: ah, really like it. thank you
Zen Arado: well illustrated
Eden Haiku: yes, it's a wonderful way to do it Sun!
Sunshine Vayandar: I did it in Open Office draw
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, right
Riddle Sideways: the old Storm monk
Sunshine Vayandar: and then each slide - I converted into jpg
Agatha Macbeth: Nice to know Microsoft is useful for something
Riddle Sideways: not M$
Sunshine Vayandar: openOffice is not a microsoft product
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Zen Arado: open source
Sunshine Vayandar: it's freely available to everyone
Agatha Macbeth: That's why it works then...
Storm Nordwind: You can export directly to jpegs from PowerPoint too
Sunshine Vayandar: http://www.openoffice.org/
Agatha Macbeth: So you could use it in Linux too?
Sunshine Vayandar: really Storm
Eden Haiku: I see Aggers is talking "serendipity" in there!
Sunshine Vayandar: I use Linux only
Agatha Macbeth: As always :)
Storm Nordwind did most of the Kira Japan presentations like that
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Eden Haiku: And Adams is sitting on the barrier!
Agatha Macbeth: That's Sharon I think
Eden Haiku: Ah, yes, maybe:)
Agatha Macbeth: Adams is OOV
Eden Haiku: She was sporting her treasure hunt crown :)
Agatha Macbeth: Yes!
Eden Haiku: This is so neat!!!
Eden Haiku: PaB comic books!
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Sunshine Vayandar: hehe yes it was fun making it
Eden Haiku: Maybe we can do the logs that way now?
Eden Haiku: hehe
Agatha Macbeth can't believe how dressed-down Wol looks :pp
Agatha Macbeth: That's brilliant Sun
Sunshine Vayandar: ;) ty
Zen Arado: yeh great Sun
Agatha Macbeth: Any chance of setting it to music? ;-)
Riddle Sideways: and will this be in the museum?
Zen Arado: so much better than plain text
Sunshine Vayandar: depends on Adams
Agatha Macbeth: Oh I hope so
Agatha Macbeth: Couldn't we add another floor?
Eden Haiku: I hope so too! Adams, hearhear!!!
Sunshine Vayandar: Yes - I thought new pablings wanna hear about the PaB story .... but they might be a bit tired to read sooo much text ... on the wiki
Agatha Macbeth nods
Storm Nordwind sympathizes
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Eden Haiku: These pages could be on the wiki too. Are they yet?
Sunshine Vayandar: not yet - yes I will think of the best way to do it
Eden Haiku: How do you call them Sunshine?
Sunshine Vayandar: they are not online yet
Eden Haiku: PaB comic books seems a bit too...
Agatha Macbeth: I much prefer it in this form, as a presentation
Agatha Macbeth: It works really well
Eden Haiku: It does!
Sunshine Vayandar: ;)
Agatha Macbeth: Hiya Luci
Riddle Sideways: Hi Luci
Sunshine Vayandar: I was chatting with Wol about flying cars the other day
Lucinda Lavender: HI Everyone:)

--BELL--

Comic books, graphic novels, mangas?

Sun's turning us into cartoon characters!

Eden Haiku: Good morning Lucinda,
Agatha Macbeth: As you do :)
Sunshine Vayandar: and she gave me a link to a comic
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Eden Haiku: What is the noble way to say "comic books" in English?
Eden Haiku: Or PaB in images?
Eden Haiku: Like the Bible in images?
Eden Haiku: oh sorry, bell...
Riddle Sideways: "Graphic Novels"
Sunshine Vayandar: may be
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Eden Haiku: Graphic Novels sounds good...
Agatha Macbeth nods
Riddle Sideways: well that is what wikipedia calls them
Eden Haiku: but it has a double meaning, no?
Lucinda Lavender: how do I close the image so I can see you all again?
Agatha Macbeth: Bit like Japanese manga
Eden Haiku: Oh yes, PaB mangas!
Eden Haiku: PaB mangas would be such a cooool name!!!
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe we could do a PaB anime one day :)
Sunshine Vayandar: sounds fun ;)

The trouble with trees...

Sunshine Vayandar: Luci you cannot see?
Lucinda Lavender: the comic has taken over my screen I I do not know how to go back...
Riddle Sideways: can we all have big big big eyes?
Zen Arado: has to go
Agatha Macbeth: I see you Luci
Sunshine Vayandar: oh - right click and detch

Sunshine Vayandar: detach
Lucinda Lavender: well I do not see any of you any more
Sunshine Vayandar: take care Zen ;)
Lucinda Lavender: only comic
Eden Haiku: By zen :)
Lucinda Lavender: should I drop it?
Sunshine Vayandar: Luci you wore it as a hud
Storm Nordwind: You are behind Zen's tree Luci. That is why
Sunshine Vayandar: I think
Sunshine Vayandar: I think it works as a hud
Sunshine Vayandar: but needs to be much smaller
Lucinda Lavender: wow interesting
Sunshine Vayandar: may be it is that
Eden Haiku: Zen, don't forget to take the tree :)
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's Zen's dryad? :p
Riddle Sideways: bye zen
Eden Haiku: hehe
Sunshine Vayandar: take care Zensan ;)
Zen Arado: trying to Take my tree
Zen Arado: hmmm
Eden Haiku: oh oh...
Zen Arado: it wants to stay here
Agatha Macbeth: It has good taste then
Riddle Sideways: Sun, maybe the story can stay for the other sessions to see
Storm Nordwind can return it if you prefer?
Eden Haiku: gives me a chance to take a good look at Lucinda's dress. Lovely!
Lucinda Lavender: The dress is a mixture of things
Sunshine Vayandar: Depends on Storm san Riddle ;)
Agatha Macbeth: Pot pourri again
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Zen Arado: yeh might work Storm?
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, that would be a good addition Riddle, to leave the Graphic Story in the pavilion for a while for all to see...
Agatha Macbeth: Could just grab an axe Zen...
Agatha Macbeth: Or a chainsaw?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, the trouble with trees...
Lucinda Lavender: I love the mossy green here...
Riddle Sideways: this is so much more fun then the monday stuff scheduled
Lucinda Lavender: I am on vacation:)
