Aphrodite Macbain: Hello Bruce
Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya Elan
Bruce Mowbray: Hello!
ElanVitalo Resident: Hello!
Aphrodite Macbain: Is it warming up there?
Bruce Mowbray: Where'd ya get that PaB shirt, Aph?
Aphrodite Macbain: from Bleu
ElanVitalo Resident: No, it's not warming up.
Bruce Mowbray: ahhhh.
Aphrodite Macbain: she'll give u one
Bruce Mowbray: kk, ty.
Aphrodite Macbain: There is a balloon also floating about the place....
Bruce Mowbray looks....
Aphrodite Macbain: are you still wrapped in yr sleeping bag?
Bruce Mowbray: Not at the moment, but at nights, yes.
Aphrodite Macbain: here's a t-shirt in black...(gives Bruce a T shirt)
Bruce Mowbray: My sleeping bag is very cozy and sleeps me quite well.
Bruce Mowbray: a t-shirt?
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- I just gave it to you
Bruce Mowbray: Oh! Thanks!
Aphrodite Macbain: yw :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: Are you planning to get a small plot of land here?
Aphrodite Macbain: nice! (Bruce puts it on)
Bruce Mowbray: I don't think so.
Aphrodite Macbain: you may need to lengthen it a bit- it looks like it has shrunk
Bruce Mowbray: (about the land, not the shirt).
Bruce Mowbray: I had to put on black underwater to match it.
Bruce Mowbray: Looking better now?
Aphrodite Macbain: I enjoy building and I have so much stuff now that I can't use in Sorrentina
Aphrodite Macbain: much better!
Aphrodite Macbain: very flattering
Bruce Mowbray: ty :)

Bruce Mowbray: Wonderful!
Bruce Mowbray: So, you're going to get a plot?
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm going to wait and see.
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Aphrodite Macbain: I may get a premium membership
Bruce Mowbray: That's my attitude as well.
Aphrodite Macbain: since it's so cheap
Bruce Mowbray: What does a Premium cost?
Aphrodite Macbain: and give my free bit to PaB
Aphrodite Macbain: $75/year I think
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Bruce Mowbray: Way less than $10 per month, then.
Aphrodite Macbain: Yes.. It's a deal.
Aphrodite Macbain: Have u any suggestions for today's discussion?
Bruce Mowbray: Well, at the moment I seem preoccupied with "letting go."
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Wol Euler: evening all!
Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya Wol
Bruce Mowbray: I received a letter and a present from my high school sweetheart...
Bruce Mowbray: Heya, Wol. JUST IN TIME!
Wol Euler: awwwww
Wol Euler listens.
Aphrodite Macbain: awwww
Aphrodite Macbain: How long has it been since u spoke to her?
Bruce Mowbray: It's too painful. . . .
Bruce Mowbray: Well, we both went to the 25th hs reunion,
Aphrodite Macbain loves all the new outfits Wol is wearing.
Aphrodite Macbain: ah
Bruce Mowbray: but i vowed never to go to another one.
Bruce Mowbray: and our 55th will be in September.
Wol Euler smiles.
Bruce Mowbray: No, I won't be going to it.
Wol Euler: did she say what inspired her to write after so long?
Wol Euler: (or leave it if it is too painful)
Bruce Mowbray: No. . . except she's talking about wanting to get together.
Aphrodite Macbain: what will you do?
Bruce Mowbray: I'm not up to it emotionally.
Bruce Mowbray: That's why I said I'm thinking about "letting go."
Wol Euler smiles and gives your hand a squeeze
Bruce Mowbray: ty.
Aphrodite Macbain: letting go of people you had already let go of?
Bruce Mowbray: She also sent me the SMU mascot that I'd given her over 50 years ago.
Aphrodite Macbain: awww
Bruce Mowbray: A little pony.
Aphrodite Macbain: she obviously remembers you with love
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, as I remember her.
Bruce Mowbray: but wayyyy too much water over the dam...
Bruce Mowbray: and she has several grandchildren.
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Bruce Mowbray: and a wonderful [second] husband.
Aphrodite Macbain: cant u be friends?
Bruce Mowbray: Only from a distance.
Bruce Mowbray: She lives two states north of where my typist lives.
Bruce Mowbray: But anyway...
Aphrodite Macbain: we were thinking our theme today could be "letting go" Wol
Bruce Mowbray: better just to discuss "letting go" -- without specific references...
Aphrodite Macbain: I am finding it hard to letting go of PAB the way it was...
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Mickorod Renard: it may be for the best
Bruce Mowbray: It was rough having to get rid of your house.... I miss it.
Aphrodite Macbain: although PAB has been letting go of us for a while...:-)
Wol Euler: hello Mick
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Mick!
Mickorod Renard: Hi folks
Bruce Mowbray: Heya, Mick.
Mickorod Renard: :)
ElanVitalo Resident: Hi, Mick.
Aphrodite Macbain: come and join us on this side of the pond
Wol Euler smiles.
Aphrodite Macbain: tx:-)
Mickorod Renard: there is a risk that it may completely flop
Mickorod Renard: I guess
Wol Euler: the pond?
Aphrodite Macbain: flop?
Mickorod Renard: pab in general
Aphrodite Macbain tries to imagine a pond flopping
Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Bleu.
Wol Euler: well, that is up to us, I'd say ...
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Bleu
Wol Euler: it will if we want it to, and it won't if we don't
Mickorod Renard: I spoze we need to stimulate rather than ponder on loss
Bleu Oleander: hi all :)
Wol Euler: hello bleu
ElanVitalo Resident: Welcome, Bleu.
Aphrodite Macbain: Come and join us
Mickorod Renard: hi Bleu
Bruce Mowbray nods, agrees.
Aphrodite Macbain: Letting go doesn't need to be a loss I suppose, we can see it as "freeing up" space
Aphrodite Macbain: opening up new possibilities
Mickorod Renard: yes, streamlining
Wol Euler: unchaining oneself
Bruce Mowbray: a great attitude, Aph.
Aphrodite Macbain: OK :-)
Wol Euler: taking the stones out of your pockets
Bleu Oleander: dropping
Aphrodite Macbain: actually, once I had removed my cabin and all its contents, I did feel lighter
Aphrodite Macbain: grins at Wol- great metaphor!
Aphrodite Macbain throws a stone into the pool and listens to the nice splash
Wol Euler: I realized that I liked the idea of my dance hall more than the thing itself. I hardly ever used it.
Mickorod Renard: I would be happy to try and remember my dreams again..and deliver those from time to time
Mickorod Renard: I love dance
Wol Euler: hello qt
Qt Core: Hi all
Aphrodite Macbain: Salve Qt
Mickorod Renard: my first days on sl were spent at the Tropicana bar
Bleu Oleander: hi Qt :)
Mickorod Renard: hi qt
Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Qt.
Aphrodite Macbain: benvenuto
ElanVitalo Resident: Hello, Qt.
Qt Core: grazie, Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: we are talking about dropping the old
Aphrodite Macbain: and being open to the new
Bruce Mowbray: I'll bet Qt could sing some Italian songs at the party, Aph.
Qt Core: ehmmm
Bruce Mowbray: :)))
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- Qt said he would think about it.....
Aphrodite Macbain: didn't you?
Bruce Mowbray: (She asked me to do that earlier, on my Vespa.)
Bruce Mowbray: OMG!
Aphrodite Macbain: or look for an Italian poem
Aphrodite Macbain: I'll bet u can ride and sing at the same time Bruce
Qt Core: surely not singing, bringing poetry, maybe, probably only on text
ElanVitalo Resident ponders reading The Divine Comedy at the poetry bash.
Aphrodite Macbain: that's great Qt. Grazie
Aphrodite Macbain: Mick- you would like to continue with a dream workshop?
Mickorod Renard: I think I would, yes
Qt Core: you should search for Benigni explaining and reciting by memory the Divine Comedy, it is a great experience
Aphrodite Macbain: wow

Mickorod Renard: I did return after a break only for Maxine to end it
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm sure we can resurrect it if there is enough interest Mick
Wol Euler: in fairness to her she and I were alone in the final sessions
Bruce Mowbray: I would DEFINITELY like to re-start the Dream Workshop.
Aphrodite Macbain: we would just need to decide on a time best for everyone.
Mickorod Renard: I was struggling a bit..the more I recalled the more i started to loose the clarity between real life and dreams
Aphrodite Macbain: maybe you could initiate the idea Mick - you can start anytime

Mickorod Renard: thanks Aph..I am still a bit in turmoil, but another month should see me stable in my routine

Zen Arado: Hi all
Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya Zen
Bleu Oleander: hi Zen :)
Mickorod Renard: I try every so often to read Divine comedy i do a few pages and then give up
Wol Euler: hello zen
Mickorod Renard: Hi zen
Bruce Mowbray: Heya, Zen.
ElanVitalo Resident: Welcome, Zen.
Aphrodite Macbain: Reciting The Divine Comedy would take a little longer that we have time for Qt!
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Wol Euler: perhaps make a condensed version?
Wol Euler: boil it down to say 2:35?
Aphrodite Macbain: and between now and March 29....
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Qt Core: "got lost, faith saved me"
Bruce Mowbray: Paradise - Inferno -- Take your pick!
Wol Euler: right!
Wol Euler grins.
Aphrodite Macbain: love it
Aphrodite Macbain: with Virgil as our guide...
Mickorod Renard: i wonder if someone has written a nice short understandable version?
Bruce Mowbray doesn't do much traveling anymore, come to think of it.
Aphrodite Macbain: not even to Paradise Bruce?
Wol Euler: it would probably make a good limerick
Bruce Mowbray: Definitely not there...
Aphrodite Macbain: there once was a poet from Parma...
Bruce Mowbray ponders rendering the Divine Comedy in limerick form.
Aphrodite Macbain: I see u brought your Vespa Bruce
Aphrodite Macbain: are you planning to practice and sing?
Bruce Mowbray: Who wanted to locate his Karma...
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bruce Mowbray: So he took up the urge,
Aphrodite Macbain: near your dogma
Bruce Mowbray: and followed his "Virg"
Bruce Mowbray: and....
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Bruce Mowbray waits patiently...
Aphrodite Macbain:and began teaching his dharma
Bruce Mowbray: YAYYY!
Aphrodite Macbain: he he
Aphrodite Macbain: did you know that the translation for Ha ha ha in Italian is Ah ah ah?
Bruce Mowbray: No, but I do now.
Zen Arado: they laugh backwards?
Qt Core: ;-)
Qt Core: in italian ha is the present indicative third person of to have, so we prefer property to laughing ?
Zen Arado: ah that's it
Qt Core: we also use "hi hi", less used, for giggling
Bruce Mowbray: hee hee?

Zen Arado: some Europeans say HI HI Hi for laughter
Zen Arado: ho ho
Zen Arado: heheh
 

Qt Core: mostly for Bruce this song "50 special" is an ode of the Vespa 50 special and being young in and around Bologna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qIsZSKq5KQ (if the gods of drm approve)
Bleu Oleander: vroom vroom!
Wol Euler: nice!
 

Mickorod Renard: anyone heard from Pila lately?..sorry to ask outside subject
Bruce Mowbray: Have neither seen nor heard from Pila for ages.
Mickorod Renard: :(
 

Bruce Mowbray: You know, just when we disbanded the Dreams Workshop, my dreams started to get more and more vivid and I began to remember them.
Wol Euler: how ironic
Wol Euler smiles.
Bruce Mowbray: Yes.
Bruce Mowbray: I also thought that.
Mickorod Renard: that's cool Bruce, did you write them down?

Bruce rides around on his Vespa
Bruce Mowbray: btw, if anyone wants to take a ride on the Vespa, go for it.
Bruce Mowbray: Nope, but I remembered them so well after waking that I didn't feel that to be necessary.
Mickorod Renard: i couldn't Bruce, a cultural thing - I went through the mods and Bruce Mowbray: kk, Mick. np.
rockers stuff, I was and am a biker but scooters were the opposition

Bleu Oleander: :)
Zen Arado: I keep having dreams where I am searching for my dog who has run off...but he died 10 years ago
Aphrodite Macbain: oh? aww
Bruce Mowbray: Oh dear.
Zen Arado: must be cos I miss him
Wol Euler sighs.
Bruce Mowbray: for sure.
Aphrodite Macbain: what kind of dog?
Zen Arado: when I wake I am relieved he isn't lost
Zen Arado: but that's weird
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) I know the feeling Zen
Zen Arado: a Border Collie cross
Bruce Mowbray: Oh yes. That's what my Bear Dog was, too.
Bruce Mowbray: www.hermitdog.com
Mickorod Renard: yes, quite a thing that Zen
Bruce Mowbray: I really miss him.
Zen Arado: yeh a bit like him only smaller and just black and white
Mickorod Renard: I was out the other day...in my dream..with my long dead parents...quite nice in a way
 

Aphrodite Macbain: could I be a pest and ask about a PAB party and whether you would like to have one?
Bruce Mowbray: Please do ask, Aph.
Bruce Mowbray listens intently.
Mickorod Renard: I would like to attend if possible
ElanVitalo Resident also listens, perhaps not quite so intently, though.
Wol Euler: yes. and yes
Aphrodite Macbain: Any suggestions for what kind of party?
Aphrodite Macbain:and volunteers to organize it?
Qt Core: i tried to attend but in the end missed the last 4 or 5 pab birthday parties
Aphrodite Macbain: Zen- could you be the music man?
Wol Euler: I thought you were doing a fine job of summoning it into existence, Aph :)
Aphrodite Macbain: lol I am just focused on the poetry bash
Mickorod Renard: we could have a disgusting sexual debauchery party as we wont be restricted by pab rules?

Aphrodite Macbain: in your dreams Mick!
Mickorod Renard: he he
Bruce Mowbray: We should have a party so Qt can attend.
Aphrodite Macbain: what does that mean Bruce?
Bruce Mowbray: Your suggestion, Aph, that the party follow the poetry bash works for me.
Zen Arado: well ok but I mostly just play my own stuff nowadays
Aphrodite Macbain: Last time all we needed was music, a dance floor and fireworks
Zen Arado: yeh
Bruce Mowbray does not regard sexual debauchery as "disgusting."
Aphrodite Macbain: just debauched
Bruce Mowbray: rather enjoys it, actually.
Mickorod Renard: he he
Bruce Mowbray: Viva Satiricon!
Aphrodite Macbain waits patiently
Qt Core: wondering what is easier, learning to lucid dreaming or learning building scripting/animating SL for having those kind of parties
Bruce Mowbray also waits -- for suggestion for the party...
Wol Euler: I thought the poetry bash was the PaB party?
Aphrodite Macbain: no
Bruce Mowbray: (debauchery is on the table....)
Aphrodite Macbain: but we could turn it into one Wol
Qt Core: that is the classy part ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: The party would follow the poetry, Wol.
Mickorod Renard: I wonder whether we could have a mass dance, a bit like line dancing so that we can all take part together?
Wol Euler: ah
Aphrodite Macbain: people will read their poems and then we could dance
Wol Euler: sure, I could organize the dancing
--BELL--
Mickorod Renard: yes, could dance at the same time
Aphrodite Macbain: but a better space is in another part of the molecule
Bruce Mowbray: Sounds good, Mick. Maybe we could get Sunshine and Zen to be DJs for the dance.
Aphrodite Macbain: yes...
Mickorod Renard: I even had a dream I made into a poem
Aphrodite Macbain: but I'm not sure where Sun is and how Zen feels about this
Bruce Mowbray: oops.
Aphrodite Macbain: great Mick- could you read it?
Zen Arado: might be better to just ask Sunji;she specializes in DJ ing
Mickorod Renard: with actual voice?
Aphrodite Macbain: Bleu, any suggestions?
Bleu Oleander: on a call bfb sorry
Aphrodite Macbain: kk
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Zen Arado: I get bored with old rock music
Aphrodite Macbain: The last time we had a party there was a party committee who promoted and organized it
Zen Arado: and people don't like House music I like
Aphrodite Macbain: then find new rock music
Wol Euler: or play opera
Bruce Mowbray: How about a minuet. . . . at Aph's place in Sorrento?
Zen Arado: Sunji's African music is better
Mickorod Renard: years ago we used to do a sort of line dance to rock music
Aphrodite Macbain: grins
Bleu Oleander: sorry need to go ... bye for now :)
Aphrodite Macbain: bye Blue
Mickorod Renard: bye Bleu
Bruce Mowbray: Bye, Blue gal.
Zen Arado: bye Bleu
Qt Core: bye Bleu
Bruce Mowbray: Bleu* sry.
Aphrodite Macbain: It would be nicer if the party took place in PAB - especially since it is a transition party - from dropping to picking up...
Bruce Mowbray: yes, you're right, Aph.
Aphrodite Macbain: people took the balloon to the party room
Mickorod Renard: the thing I often struggle with is lag and also working out how to pick up the dance ball thing
Aphrodite Macbain: we can help you Mick
Bruce Mowbray: for sure!
Mickorod Renard: ty
Zen Arado: yeh lots of people = lag
Bruce Mowbray: Does Blub make for lag, do you think?
Aphrodite Macbain: well- we can find lots of reasons not to have a party if we want...
Zen Arado: poor Blub
Bruce Mowbray: I'll send him back to his aquarium if he does.
Wol Euler: no, bruce
Zen Arado: accused of lag producer
Aphrodite Macbain: people can dance in their seats
Bruce Mowbray: kk. ty.
Mickorod Renard: no, but I wonder if we would be better off borrowing a night club?
Wol Euler: at least an utterly insignificant amount compared with the seven of us
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Mickorod Renard: I bet a night club has already ironed out the lag issues
Bruce Mowbray nods..
Mickorod Renard: just a thought
Aphrodite Macbain: do you want to do some research Mick and find out if there is a night club we could use for free?
Mickorod Renard: well..i do have some old acquaintances that still run a club
Bruce Mowbray: Or, since we have so much open grass space now, we could hold an outdoor party.
Aphrodite Macbain: cool
Wol Euler: I'm pretty sure that we could use Fracture (place I go regularly) as long as it wasn't in show time
Aphrodite Macbain: not a bad idea Bruce!
Wol Euler: Saturday 10am to 2pm is out
Bruce Mowbray: also, nightclub sounds good, if Mick could pull it off.
Aphrodite Macbain: we are planning from 1pm-2pm slt
Wol Euler: then that won't work. never mind :)
Mickorod Renard: Fracture,,is that a club Wol?
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Aphrodite Macbain: would that work Wol?
Wol Euler: well a dance floor in a park, really
Wol Euler: and no, it wouldn't
Aphrodite Macbain: ah OK
Mickorod Renard: darn running out o battery
Wol Euler: clashes with a show
Bruce Mowbray nods, accepts.
Bruce Mowbray: It's that ol' MATRIX thing again, Mick.
Aphrodite Macbain: we can put a dance floor next to the pavilion
Mickorod Renard: ok,,plugged in
Zen Arado: yes it was fun creating one last year
Bruce Mowbray: Sure! We (who is this "WE" anyway?) could do that.
Aphrodite Macbain: Mick- could you check if there is a nightclub that would let us use their place from 1-2 pm March 29?
Aphrodite Macbain: we is us
Mickorod Renard: i could do sure
Aphrodite Macbain: thanks!
Mickorod Renard: how many of us do you think we are?
Aphrodite Macbain: someone needs to pick up the ball
Aphrodite Macbain: we may be about 20
Mickorod Renard: ok nice
Aphrodite Macbain: tries to remember the parties past
Zen Arado: what's wrong with staying in the Molecule theater? have done before
Aphrodite Macbain: Wol, maybe the party could be from 2-3pm slt

Wol Euler: still wouldn't work, the show officially ends at 2pm and often there is an afterparty
Wol Euler: I'd hate to suggest that people hurry up and leave
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Aphrodite Macbain: no
ElanVitalo Resident: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: they could join our party?
Aphrodite Macbain: apparently there's too much lag
Aphrodite Macbain: the point of using a night club is that they might accommodate more people

Zen Arado: I suspect lag is lag everywhere in SL
Wol Euler: yes, zen
Wol Euler: people make lag. the "solution" to lag is to have no people
Aphrodite Macbain: when 2 or 3 come together, there is lag
Wol Euler: that's why open sim is lag-free :)
Aphrodite Macbain: maybe we can all come naked
Zen Arado: yeh it's the physics of SL
Zen Arado: and with no hair :)
Bruce Mowbray: (Whew! That's sure a metaphor of my life --- no people, no lag.)
Wol Euler: hehehehe
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Aphrodite Macbain: back to dropping....
Bruce Mowbray: Need to be scraping now.
Bruce Mowbray: THANKS, Aph.
Bruce Mowbray: Your efforts are noble and appreciated.
Wol Euler: bye bruce, bon appetit
Aphrodite Macbain: tries to imagine Bruce scraping the barrel
Zen Arado: bye Bruce
Aphrodite Macbain: bye bruce
Qt Core: bye Bruce
Aphrodite Macbain: thanks for coming
Wol Euler: I imagine him scraping the road :)
Wol Euler: roadkill stew
Mickorod Renard: bye bruce
Aphrodite Macbain: ouch
ElanVitalo Resident: Where did I scrape up that guy, anyhow?
Aphrodite Macbain: blechh
Mickorod Renard: ok,,i am gonna have to go too..but will just sit for a min and copy some details
Aphrodite Macbain: what details Mick?
Aphrodite Macbain: March 29, 1pm or 1:30 pm
ElanVitalo Resident: always good to keep one's databases fresh, I say.
Aphrodite Macbain: about 20 people
Aphrodite Macbain: dj
Aphrodite Macbain: dance floor
Aphrodite Macbain: mixed music
Aphrodite Macbain: some decorations
Wol Euler nods to Elan
Aphrodite Macbain rinses out her database and gets electrocuted
Wol Euler: what day of the week is that? Saturday?
Aphrodite Macbain: Sunday
ElanVitalo Resident: OUCH!
Aphrodite Macbain: PAB's birthday is officially April 1
Aphrodite Macbain: but that's on a Tuesday
ElanVitalo Resident: So, March 29th is a Sunday...
ElanVitalo Resident: yeppers.
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: that's when the poetry bash is
Aphrodite Macbain: anyway
ElanVitalo Resident nods.
Mickorod Renard: yeh,,i dont rember anything anymore
Aphrodite Macbain: ?
Mickorod Renard: :)
 

ElanVitalo Resident: I've loved looking at your travel photos, Mick.
ElanVitalo Resident: ooops.. I guess that's on FB, sry.
Wol Euler: That Other Place
Aphrodite Macbain: IM me Mick if you need more info
ElanVitalo Resident: Most recently... Morocco ?
Aphrodite Macbain: drops the subject of the party
ElanVitalo Resident also drops subject.
ElanVitalo Resident: I should probably go and help Bruce with his scraping now.
Wol Euler: take care
Zen Arado: bye Elan
ElanVitalo Resident: TY. You too!
Aphrodite Macbain: Zen- do you know how to reach Savannah?
Qt Core: bye Elan
Aphrodite Macbain: bye Elan
ElanVitalo Resident: Bye for now.
Zen Arado: just IM her?
Aphrodite Macbain: ok
Zen Arado: she does a lot of DJing
Aphrodite Macbain: but I don't want to take on any more responsibility
Zen Arado: so will be very happy to do it I think
Aphrodite Macbain: I wish someone else could contact her and ask whether she could help
Zen Arado: ok I will
Aphrodite Macbain: Thanks so much Zen
Mickorod Renard: ok, i have sent message to my contact
Aphrodite Macbain: wow
Aphrodite Macbain: fast
Zen Arado: what do I ask?
Mickorod Renard: not online at mom

Qt Core: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: can you find a poem?
Aphrodite Macbain: something to do with endings and beginnings?
Aphrodite Macbain: the #7
Aphrodite Macbain: or anything else.:-)
Qt Core: hoping to be struck by inspiration
Aphrodite Macbain: hope it doesn't hurt

Qt Core: usually not, it usually just leave me surprised
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Aphrodite Macbain: I'd love it if it were in Italian
Aphrodite Macbain: and you read it...
Qt Core: (don't know, i hate voice)
Aphrodite Macbain: I could read it for u if u like, or someone else could
Aphrodite Macbain: I would try not to massacre it
Qt Core: i wrote some (mostly silly poetry) but honestly i never think about it being read aloud
Aphrodite Macbain: silly poetry would be wonderful
Aphrodite Macbain: and fun
Aphrodite Macbain: I am hoping we will be very silly
Qt Core: should try to keep the three word beginnings endings and 7 in mind and let see what happen
Aphrodite Macbain: great :-)
 

Aphrodite Macbain: I'm going to Rome in April :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: for about a week
Aphrodite Macbain: and then to Chiusi
Qt Core: good season, nice temps
Aphrodite Macbain: to paint
Aphrodite Macbain: yes. Non vedo l'ora ( I can hardly wait)
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: allora, devo andare mangiare
Qt Core: buon appetito!
Aphrodite Macbain: ciao Qt
Aphrodite Macbain: grazie
Qt Core: ciao
