Louis Onyett: How does it maneuver
Mellie McMinnar: back in the old times I made an account to stay at the Orientation Island... later at the Help Island... and since it wasn't possible to buy things at that places, I had to build a lot

szavanna Resident: °͜°
Mellie McMinnar: you just wear it... it's just an AO
szavanna Resident: ;))

szavanna Resident: 4 of them here
szavanna Resident: ;p
Mellie McMinnar: ^^
Xirana Oximoxi: yes... a lot of people:) I am not aware of how 'big' SL is
szavanna Resident: its hugeeee
szavanna Resident: there is life beyond pab
szavanna Resident: brb :)
Mellie McMinnar: ^^
Xirana Oximoxi: yes... very huge...but somehow I move always more or less at the same places
Xirana Oximoxi: hehe :)) yes...beyond PaB there's a lot of life too:)
Mellie McMinnar: well, it's like RL.... the world is huge, but you only know a few places
Xirana Oximoxi: do you like to explore new places?
Louis Onyett: Exploring can be fun
Xirana Oximoxi: yes
Mellie McMinnar: oh yes, it surely can be... if you are in good company ;)
Louis Onyett: Found several wonderful places
Xirana Oximoxi: sharing is more fun, I agree:)
Louis Onyett: And, yes, good company makes the difference in sl just like rl
Louis Onyett: Sad that places don't last long usually
Mellie McMinnar: absolutely
Mellie McMinnar: some do... svarga is still out there
Louis Onyett: yes it is
Louis Onyett: some do, like you say
Xirana Oximoxi: yes... I remember some wonderful places that have desapeared...but sure other new ones appear
Xirana Oximoxi: 'svarga'?
Louis Onyett: Good reason to still look for new places I suppose
Mellie McMinnar: everything is at flux
--BELL--
Louis Onyett: Occasionally, a random jump fest on the world map can be interesting.
Mellie McMinnar: Louis, why do you come to SL?
Louis Onyett: Though, that was not the answer to your question, Mellie.
Mellie McMinnar: sorry, I am having a really bad case of lag
Xirana Oximoxi: I do time to time and enjoy watching what people build... also did follow some SL routes too
Mellie McMinnar: for me SL is a community.... I come here to meet interesting people... like all of you
szavanna Resident: back :)
Louis Onyett: I come to SL for the people and friends
szavanna Resident: or you Mellie :)
Mellie McMinnar: wb
szavanna Resident: ty
Mellie McMinnar: sadly, it is my experience that there are no real friends in SL
szavanna Resident: Mellie how could I get a copy of your flying chair?
Xirana Oximoxi: me too Mellie...for me is an interesting way to socialise
szavanna Resident: is it on mp?
Louis Onyett: There are lots of great people here if you are lucky enough to find them

Louis Onyett: Hello Korel
Zen Arado: about 2 years I think
Korel Laloix: Not to bad then.

Louis Onyett: bye bye Sza
Korel Laloix: Ciao
Zen Arado: yes was nice poem
Korel Laloix: OH... great.. glad you liked it... not sure what it said... smiles
Korel Laloix: Just threw it together during a session after being badgered by Aph and Wol.
Zen Arado: you can write poems by freewriting
Zen Arado: then just arrange in lines
Korel Laloix: THat is the third poem I have ever written. sort of an interesting task.
Korel Laloix: But still not a big fan.
Xirana Oximoxi: well.. then you did very well :)
Louis Onyett: I find it interesting that we would not likely write a poem if not for sl and PaB
Louis Onyett: At least speaking for some of us
Zen Arado: I had to write some for a writing course I am doing
Korel Laloix: All three that I wrote were for SL.
Zen Arado: it opens your eyes when a tutor tears them apart
Korel Laloix: Else I admit I would have never written them.
Louis Onyett: Ouch
Zen Arado: there is a lot to learn
Zen Arado: no but it is good to get that critical feedback
Mellie McMinnar: tutors are just people as well
Louis Onyett: Yes, good for feedback.
Zen Arado: it is what you need
Zen Arado: I learned a lot
Korel Laloix: For me, there are other forms of writing I would rather ingest for sure.
Louis Onyett: The act of writing, though, of just trying to be creative in that way, is a good thing to try.
Zen Arado: I am doing memoir atm
Zen Arado: being kinda old I have plenty of material
Zen Arado: :)
Korel Laloix: THat sounds fun.
Mellie McMinnar: create your own kind of writing, Korel.... there was a first one for every style... and a tutor to rip it apart ;)
--BELL--
Korel Laloix: I journal every day, so I could be lazy and just publish that... smiles
Louis Onyett: Memoir or novel or short story, all can be hard to write. Takes a lot of time and committment
Xirana Oximoxi: I never write creativley...maybe it will be time to try:)...for next PaB birthday:)
Korel Laloix: I have plenty of those on my thesis committe at the moment... no desire for more.
Zen Arado: I don't think I am creative enough to write fiction
Zen Arado: yes that's what i do Kori
Zen Arado: that's where ideas come from
Korel Laloix: ooops
Zen Arado: but you have to polish it
Zen Arado: sorry
Xirana Oximoxi: :)
Korel Laloix: Polishing is not the hard part.
Zen Arado: exactly
Mellie McMinnar: everybody is creative, Zen... you just have to learn how to use it
Korel Laloix: Making it say what they want it to say eventhough they won;t say it.
Zen Arado: I am ok as long as I have plenty of text to edit
Korel Laloix: I am very net creative.
Korel Laloix: not
Xirana Oximoxi: Zen is really perfectionist..he does very well
Korel Laloix: My ytping is creative though.
Mellie McMinnar: ^^
Korel Laloix: and speling
Zen Arado: :)
Louis Onyett: Creative typing and spelling are good things
Louis Onyett: keeps everyone on their towes
Korel Laloix: towels?
Mellie McMinnar: toes
Louis Onyett: I wish I could claim toes as towes
Zen Arado: we get towed along by our creativity :)
Louis Onyett: but really was a typo
Louis Onyett: lol
Korel Laloix: Write a poem and they are yours.
Louis Onyett: I like my poem for PaB:
Louis Onyett: Roses are red, violets are Bleu.
Louis Onyett: Bleu is awesome.
Louis Onyett: lol
Xirana Oximoxi: :)
Mellie McMinnar: ROFL
Korel Laloix: It has style in a sort of retro way.
Korel Laloix: brb
Zen Arado: I wish I had a good poetry critic after this course
Mellie McMinnar: I could be one, but english isn't my native language
Xirana Oximoxi: you mean someone to read and critic your poems?
Zen Arado: yes
Zen Arado: critique
Xirana Oximoxi: yes...language is important.. my English is not good
Zen Arado: the verb must come from french
Xirana Oximoxi: oui:)
Zen Arado: :)
Zen Arado: it is very good Xiri
Xirana Oximoxi: not for poetry Zen
Xirana Oximoxi: poetry has always some subtle ways to tell things
Zen Arado: hmm for poetry it must be very good ..yes
Zen Arado: you have to know many words
Zen Arado: but you can find them on websites
Zen Arado: and ones that ryyme
Zen Arado: rhyme
Louis Onyett: For now, I must extricate myself from this confabulation...
Mellie McMinnar: also, violets are not blue, they are violet... that's why they are called violets ^^
Xirana Oximoxi: and somehow also the 'history' of the words....writers usually connect with other writers and add meaning to images created before
Louis Onyett: I mean, must go.
Louis Onyett: Good to see everyone.
Zen Arado: kk byee Louis
Mellie McMinnar: bye Louis
Louis Onyett: ;)
Xirana Oximoxi: bye bye Louis! nice to see you too..have a nice day! :)
Zen Arado: I better go too...I have done nothing this afternoon
Zen Arado: only updated computer
Mellie McMinnar: why should you? it's saturday
Zen Arado: I know
Mellie McMinnar: so relax a bit
Zen Arado: I'm a workaholic
Mellie McMinnar: that's important too

Zen Arado: we had a good discussion with a man from S. Korea
Xirana Oximoxi: which subject?
Zen Arado: started of about Paris
Mellie McMinnar: that gangnam-guy?
Zen Arado: :)
Xirana Oximoxi: what happened to Paris?
Zen Arado: don't know
Xirana Oximoxi: :)
Zen Arado: we wandered into painting and N.Korean leader and stuff
Xirana Oximoxi: ahhh :)
Zen Arado: I apologised for wandering off topic
Xirana Oximoxi: it may be interesting to listen to S.Korean opinions about N.Korea
Zen Arado: Cem said 'ce n'est pas grave'
Zen Arado: yes
Mellie McMinnar: "that is not a grave"?
Zen Arado: they aren't afraid I think
Zen Arado: not serious mellie
--BELL--
Xirana Oximoxi: I think he means that what is not grave is to go off topic...from Paris to N.Korea
Zen Arado: yes...
Zen Arado: we use that word in English too
Zen Arado: a grave situation...
Zen Arado: very serious it means
Zen Arado: going into a grave is serious too I guess :)
Xirana Oximoxi: it's the same word in Spanish 'grave'
Mellie McMinnar: I only know the > ` < sign as grave
Zen Arado: ah yes another meaning
Zen Arado: how do we ever understand each other ?
Zen Arado: language is so confusing
Xirana Oximoxi: :) we try:)
Mellie McMinnar: did someone step on your grave?
Zen Arado: :)
