The Guardian for this meeting was stevenaia Michinaga. The comments are by stevenaia Michinaga.

oO0Oo Resident: Osiyo Korel
Korel Laloix: Heya.
Korel Laloix: I am rarely here this time period.
Korel Laloix: It always a bit empty?
oO0Oo Resident: my luck.. good see you
Korel Laloix: So what is new in your world?
oO0Oo Resident: I don't keep track of my own session patterns, and I think more of the times, rather than the Guardians, as I would not like to choose on how comfortable I might feel
Korel Laloix: My evenings are typicaly for course work and running.
Korel Laloix: I find if I get on SL in the evening, it tends to kill the evening... grins
oO0Oo Resident nods.. know what you mean
oO0Oo Resident: you seem to balance your life with study, physical excersise and social things
Korel Laloix: I try. but sometimes I realy fail big... smiles
oO0Oo Resident: comes with trying.. and I have some "really fails" on record
Korel Laloix: I have a good pattern for studying sorted out.
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Arch
Korel Laloix: And it works for me.
Korel Laloix: Heya.
oO0Oo Resident: Oh? Can you share what that is?
Archmage Atlantis: Hi, Korel.....Hi, Sam
oO0Oo Resident prepares to take notes :)
Korel Laloix: Well, when classes are in.... I review my notes with a leasurly breakfast.. and I find that really gets my brain going.
Korel Laloix: THen I go to class. I managed to get al my clases in the morning again.
Korel Laloix: THen I go to work.... and after I get settled in, I look at my notes from teh clases.
oO0Oo Resident takes that to be a GOOD thing
oO0Oo Resident: calsses in morning
Korel Laloix: It lets me keep my job.. I go part time when the semester is going.
Korel Laloix: I do some studying at work, but not much.
Korel Laloix: When I get home, I usualy go run.
Korel Laloix: Then have dinner while I start studying.
Korel Laloix: And that is the general flow.
oO0Oo Resident: Does that run wash away energies from the day?
Archmage Atlantis: Interesting, Korel.....when I returned to finish my degree, I did almost the same thing......I went in at a regular time, studied in the library between classes, then wen to my job in the late afternoon.
Korel Laloix: I find for me, three contacts a day on a subject realy gets it into my brain.
Archmage Atlantis: Of course I was older and more organized then than than when I went right out of High School.
oO0Oo Resident: I admire anyone who works their lives to fit in with school
Dash Earthboy: hey Aph
oO0Oo Resident: *school
Dash Earthboy: hey y'all
Archmage Atlantis: Hi, Dash.....Hi, Aph
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Aph
Korel Laloix: Well, I am just overly type A personality.
Korel Laloix: So there are down sides as well.
Aphrodite Macbain: Hello Dash, 0, Arch, Korel
Korel Laloix: heya
Dash Earthboy: osiyo
Aphrodite Macbain: osiyo :-)
Archmage Atlantis: Is there a Type A- or B+ personality :)
Aphrodite Macbain: type A is super controlling
Korel Laloix: I have been accused of being an A+++ personality before.... smiles
Aphrodite Macbain: Type A- is supcontrolling
Archmage Atlantis: (that was a retorical question, btw)
Aphrodite Macbain: mine was a rhetorical answer...:-)
Archmage Atlantis: Touche
oO0Oo Resident: a powerful, slow but steady incursion of Tsalagi vocabulary seeps in community ;)
--BELL--
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Dash Earthboy: :)
oO0Oo Resident: Hi dash, Paradise. Good to see you both.
Dash Earthboy: hey Paradise
Dash Earthboy: i kinda lean toward Meyers-Briggs personality classifications more than Type A and Type B these days :)

Paradise Tennant: smiles hiya das ..O aph .. korel ..arch :)
Korel Laloix: Bothe are useful.

stevenaia Michinaga: waves
Archmage Atlantis: Hi, Steve
Aphrodite Macbain: very odd, no explanation
Paradise Tennant: hiya stev .. handing you a care package flashlights bottled water .. batteries
Aphrodite Macbain waves at Stevenaia
oO0Oo Resident: We spoke earlier about organising school study around other life activities, such that one effectively absorbs the knowledge. Korel outlined how she does this. And Arch also.
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Stevenaia
Paradise Tennant: lots of glitches it seems
stevenaia Michinaga: cot'em, thanks
stevenaia Michinaga: got
Aphrodite Macbain: what life activities were you talking about?
oO0Oo Resident: Eating, sleeping, running, working
Archmage Atlantis: "you" meaning the group, Aph?
Aphrodite Macbain: you need a school to eat and sleep?
Paradise Tennant: walking the dog :)
Dash Earthboy: yoyo :)
Aphrodite Macbain looks at her hands in confusion
Aphrodite Macbain realizes she has 3 thumbs
Korel Laloix: Talking in sign language again?
Archmage Atlantis: Really, yoyo......chuckle.....yes, yes
Dash Earthboy: hey Susan
Paradise Tennant: hiya susan :)
Archmage Atlantis: Hi, Susan
Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya Susan
oO0Oo Resident: Korel mangaes three rounds of reviewing her class notes between the other activities, and Paradise walks her dog and Dash.. was being funny I think.

oO0Oo Resident remembers how lovely it was to hear Dash and Aph and Luci sing a few sessions back
Dash Earthboy: :)
Archmage Atlantis: The sleeper, the forward pass, the throw down
Aphrodite Macbain: last night in fact. That was nice. It would have been great if a few more voices could have joined in
oO0Oo Resident want to say I have a PhD in the school of hard knocks, but suspect yoyo is for all the ups and downs
Archmage Atlantis: school? The Academy of Ancient Yoyoists
Aphrodite Macbain hums row row row your boat...

Korel Laloix: THose the small ones with the big holes?
Archmage Atlantis: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy......always good to slip in a Shakyman quote

Dash Earthboy: wish I could get some good sleep in before tomorrow's events
Archmage Atlantis: I hope that is something that happens for you Dash.
stevenaia Michinaga: I suually breath deeply and slowly and fall asleep
Dash Earthboy: they're cutting metal with circle saws and sabre saws, hammering, drilling metal...right outside my door
stevenaia Michinaga: and wear ear plugs
Dash Earthboy: management assured me last Sunday they were done
Dash Earthboy: ear plugs only keep out the damaging volume, not the sounds...even my loud a/c isn't drowing out the noise
stevenaia Michinaga: pillow over head?
Dash Earthboy: or plastic bag over head?
--BELL--
Archmage Atlantis: And there are probably vibrations also........
Dash Earthboy: yes Arch
Archmage Atlantis: Sorry, the plastic bag comment trumps the silence......I know you are joking, but that is not a solution, just to put in my 2 cents
Archmage Atlantis: When I went through my worst financial, life difficulty time.....I lived in a 1 room daily place with ppl who played loud rap music in the middle of the night
Archmage Atlantis: I can understand a bit how frustrating it is
Dash Earthboy: yah, so you appreciate what sleep deprivation can do
Archmage Atlantis: Yes
Dash Earthboy: last shelter i was at, a big guy with loud snoring and vocal dreams kept 8 other guys awake most nights
Dash Earthboy: i've been on road with other musicians who I could sleep through their sounds
Archmage Atlantis: I know that guy.....he must move from shelter to shelter
Dash Earthboy: but some sounds are just too annoying...oh and he vibrated the room with his deep voice
stevenaia Michinaga: sorry, IM's with Sylectra, she is struck in alabama, , no flights to Northeast due to storm
Dash Earthboy: dang Stev
Dash Earthboy: I've heard about the Carolinas to NYC
Dash Earthboy: but didn't know it was causing problems in NE
Dash Earthboy: dang Irene
stevenaia Michinaga: yeah, going to be wet tomorrow afternoon till sunday
stevenaia Michinaga: she's a big one
Dash Earthboy: must be system lag, etc
Archmage Atlantis: As a Floridian, I'm sort of glad that folks who usually don't have hurricanes and earthquakes are getting a taste........a bit of a wake up call is good.......especially if there is no major damage
stevenaia Michinaga: plus we had that earthquake this week, it;s been bizzare
Dash Earthboy: yep
Dash Earthboy: btw, the construction here has gone till midnight most nights they've worked
Dash Earthboy: which will give me maybe 4 hours sleep if I knock myself out then
Archmage Atlantis: Hang in there
Archmage Atlantis: Gotta go, Nite Steve, Nite Dash
Dash Earthboy: when you're paying good money for the comforts, it's not easy
Dash Earthboy: bye Arch
stevenaia Michinaga: night Arch
Dash Earthboy: guess I better get offline and see what I can do...maybe playing the TV will help mask the noise too
stevenaia Michinaga: sleep deeply
Dash Earthboy: hopefully
Dash Earthboy: imagine going from sharing a dorm room/bunks with 8 other guys to having my own kingsize bed to myself here
Dash Earthboy: it's been a real emotional roller coaster
stevenaia Michinaga: I hate big beds, get ost in them
Dash Earthboy: :)
Dash Earthboy: at home I just have a single for myself
Dash Earthboy: not even a full :)
Dash Earthboy: very simple lifestyle
Dash Earthboy: first kingsize I got was in my first all-electric apartment in Atlanta back in 76.
stevenaia Michinaga: all electric?
Dash Earthboy: got my first microwave then too
stevenaia Michinaga: electric bed?
Dash Earthboy: no gas heat nor gas water heater, etc
stevenaia Michinaga: aww
Dash Earthboy: heheh
Dash Earthboy: yes I've had the vibrator beds...even for my water bed :)
--BELL--
Dash Earthboy: that was in early 80s
stevenaia Michinaga: lol, 25 cents per 15 minutes
Dash Earthboy: :) since I owned it, I didn't have such limitations
Dash Earthboy: but that kind of distraction would sure help now with this noise :(
Dash Earthboy: well, as St Frankie used to say whether coming or going: pax et bonum y'all
stevenaia Michinaga: night
Dash Earthboy: g'nite stev
stevenaia Michinaga: night
