Bleu Oleander: I didn't see that one Eden

Eden Haiku: It's a fascinating object. I read this grammar as a poetry book :)
druth Vlodovic: l33t is funny because it sounds like it was designed to get around oppressive police states, but is used by gamers to sound cool
Eden Haiku: Oh is it? Any connection with your police officer outfit druth?
Riddle Sideways: by geeks to sound nerdy? :)
druth Vlodovic: initially IEML sounds like trying to read an article by following all the links
druth Vlodovic: avoiding sounding like noobs :-P
Eden Haiku: Yes, a labyrinth....
druth Vlodovic: everything can be used for social capital

Synchronicities

druth Volodic

druth Vlodovic: oh, it's law of attraction
druth Vlodovic: you ever make use of it?
Eden Haiku: Law of attraction,...ah....synchronicities I like better
druth Vlodovic: how does that work?
Eden Haiku: So many unconscious levels in us isn't it?
druth Vlodovic: we are multitudes
Eden Haiku: Just noticing patterns in ways things turn out...catching your attention, unfolding. What about you? Do you "use" the law of attraction?
druth Vlodovic: not deliberately
druth Vlodovic: haven't developed a "method" for life really
Eden Haiku: Neither I :)
druth Vlodovic: is the examined life worth living?
Eden Haiku: Noticed a strange synchronicity a few days ago (well, they all are strange)
druth Vlodovic: oh?
Eden Haiku: Good question :)
Eden Haiku: Writing an essay for a literary magazine that was founded in 1976. The subject is about year 1976 as we remember it. A focal point or otherwise
druth Vlodovic: ok
Eden Haiku: So I have been writing for a few weeks and suddenly I decided to give it a title I already used in a previous work
Eden Haiku: Reading then the previous essay (aboutt 40 pages long) I found a paragraph
Eden Haiku: which I could understand only now. About something that happened 40 years ago...
Eden Haiku: Still struggling to understand the meaning of all that, so it's still confused....
Eden Haiku: A lot more clarifying work to do...
Eden Haiku: I went to bed wishing about insights but ended up waking up at 5 in the morning...With no insights :)
druth Vlodovic: 5am is a good time to wander down for coffee, laying in is seldom as rewarding as we seem to believe in our hearts
Eden Haiku: Nice :)
druth Vlodovic: I end up getting a lot of synchronicity in OF meetings,
Eden Haiku: Do tell
druth Vlodovic: maybe it's just that people are more alike in experiences when they are being open and honest
druth Vlodovic: oh, it's all confidential :P
Eden Haiku: I see
druth Vlodovic: we're going to have to get riddle to lock the archives for us

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: But you are not recording OF are you?
druth Vlodovic: no
Eden Haiku: Ah, you were joking :)
druth Vlodovic: just being facetious
druth Vlodovic: things always seem more important and bigger when we don't talk about them much
druth Vlodovic: funny, right after the divorce proceedings started I kept finding my horoscope to be relevant in weird ways, but not before or since
druth Vlodovic: not sure if that sort of thing fits the bill
druth Vlodovic: eh, got to run
druth Vlodovic: have fun eden
Eden Haiku: You could as well read any book any time and find quotes that seem synchronistic :)
Eden Haiku: Bye druth, Have a nice day
