Wol Euler was guardian for this session.

Agatha Macbeth: Hello again ♥
Wol Euler: ♥
Wol Euler: good morning
Agatha Macbeth: Been here long?
Wol Euler: twenty minutes or so :)
Wol Euler: not lng
Wol Euler: not even "long"
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Agatha Macbeth: All comes down to definitions
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: someone's long is another person's medium
Agatha Macbeth: Or short even
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: How long is a piece of string?
Wol Euler: "yes"
Agatha Macbeth: 42
Wol Euler: or that
Agatha Macbeth: e=mc2
Wol Euler: blowing in the wind
Agatha Macbeth: Pickled onions
Wol Euler: green onions
Agatha Macbeth: Time is tight
Agatha Macbeth: What's the weather like there?
Wol Euler: bright, not too cold
Agatha Macbeth: Frosty here
Wol Euler: I thought of walking down to the river after this
Wol Euler: for the first time in weeks
Agatha Macbeth: Down by the river
Wol Euler: born by the river
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Wol Euler: you missed quite a lot of music last night, R played on until after 1am
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Wol Euler: and conversation, of course
Agatha Macbeth: You don't usually stay up that long
Wol Euler: oh I do, just not here :(
Agatha Macbeth: WoW?
Wol Euler: yeah

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: No wonder you're always tired :p
Wol Euler: yeah, really
Wol Euler: there's a lesson in there somewhere, if I could only discover it
Agatha Macbeth: As long as you sleep properly afterwards is the key
Wol Euler: I would need to take more naps
Wol Euler: since work-time is pretty much fixed
Agatha Macbeth: Pretty much
Wol Euler: it is flexible, within limits, but I do have to be there before noon
Wol Euler: ideally before ten
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: What's ß doing in San Francisco?
Wol Euler: right now, she's (supposed to be) just landed at the home airport
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Wol Euler: no, wait, timezones. That was two hours ago
Wol Euler: probably in bed
Agatha Macbeth: Long way to go
Wol Euler: yeah
Wol Euler: guardian meeting today?
Wol Euler: or was that last week?
Agatha Macbeth: I'll be working
Agatha Macbeth: So, dunno
Agatha Macbeth: I think it was last week
Agatha Macbeth: I forgot all about I ching last night :(
Wol Euler: awww :(
Agatha Macbeth: Never mind, I saw you :)
Wol Euler: awwwww <3
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Apart from us, there seem to be a grand total of four other people on the adjoining sims!
Wol Euler: huh
Wol Euler: well, it is the middle of the night
Wol Euler: except where it isn't
Agatha Macbeth: Not in Australia :p
Wol Euler: indeed
Agatha Macbeth: Tomorrow evening there I think
Agatha Macbeth: Timezones are funny things
Wol Euler: no, today, but evening
Wol Euler: coming up to 9pm in Sydney
Agatha Macbeth: I once saw three different new years days start in SL
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Wol Euler grins.

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: That was the first new year I was here, I was hopping from one party to another :p
Wol Euler: ah, the good old days :)
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Agatha Macbeth: SL was so much more kinda vibrant then
Wol Euler: or perhaps you are old and jaded now?
Wol Euler: sorry :)
Agatha Macbeth: That too
Wol Euler rubs your back
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh :)
Agatha Macbeth: Xira's on, wonder what she's doing
Wol Euler: art perhaps
Agatha Macbeth: Probably painting yes
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I wonder why the past seems more vibrant than the present
Wol Euler: given that this present is some kid's fully-vibrant now time, which they will look back on
Agatha Macbeth: Colours of my mind perhaps?
Agatha Macbeth: Gladys Knight and all that
Wol Euler: is it just because we spent more time looking for fun when we were younger?
Agatha Macbeth: Not sure that i did actually
Wol Euler grins.
Wol Euler: okay, take "looking for" very loosely
Agatha Macbeth: Depends on how one defines 'fun' I guess
Wol Euler: or that, aye
Agatha Macbeth: My notions of fun tend to be different to most other peoples'
Wol Euler: certainly I wandered around London more than I wander around here, and I went into galleries there more often than I do here
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes
Wol Euler: I went to plays and the opera regularly; it probably wasn't once a month, but it seems that way in recollection
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: Just more motivation when we're younger perhaps?
Wol Euler: maybe, but that just begs the question: why?
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe there's just a constant need for new things
Wol Euler: perhaps young people have an innate sense that tehy don't know enough of hte world, and grasp at ways of filling in the blanks
Wol Euler: whereas oldsters look over the 90% completed puzzle and say "so much of that was crap, perhaps there really aren't that many unicorns and rainbows" and slow down the search
Wol Euler: that sounds about right actually

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: You're on about unicorns again :p
Wol Euler: young people believe that the next experience will be the best thing ever
Wol Euler: oldsters know that it probably won't be
Agatha Macbeth: That's true
Wol Euler: awwwww
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Agatha Macbeth: I put some pictures of me and a certain furry on Flickr
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: Several certain furries in fact
Wol Euler: as opposed to the uncertain ones?
Agatha Macbeth: Probably
Wol Euler: yay, day off!
Wol Euler: boss just called to cancel the meeting this afternoon
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Agatha Macbeth: You can go to the river now
Wol Euler: indeed
Wol Euler: and have a nap or two
Agatha Macbeth: Go for it :p
Wol Euler: funny the things that we end up considering desirable luxuries :)
Agatha Macbeth: True
Wol Euler: I am a furry of very simple taste, at least in RL
Agatha Macbeth: Just as well perhaps
Wol Euler: I'd much rahter have a nap than a nose full of cocaine, or a gut full of beer

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Me too strangely
Agatha Macbeth: Ah well
Agatha Macbeth: Think I'll get a few things done
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: enjoy the day, despite work
Agatha Macbeth: I'll try
Wol Euler: take care <3
Agatha Macbeth: Nap well ♥
Wol Euler grins.
Wol Euler: ♥
