    szavanna Resident: hehe we both have the typing anim on
    szavanna Resident: ah you mean /9low?
    szavanna Resident: or 9/low

    Eliza Madrigal: or rather "/9low"
    szavanna Resident: and if you want to put it back?
    szavanna Resident: it would be nice to have the list of commands

    szavanna Resident: oh I haven't tried a treadmill before
    szavanna Resident: hmmm °͜°
    szavanna Resident: how is it
    Eliza Madrigal: not fun but necessary
    szavanna Resident: hmm isn't there another way to keep fit
    Eliza Madrigal: mhm.... I come at it from a few different directions
    Eliza Madrigal: the treadmill is easiest when I want to give just 30 minutes - mostly I walk but at an incline
    szavanna Resident: kk :)
    szavanna Resident: may be I should try also
    Eliza Madrigal: nicer to walk outside but some days I am listening to something at the same time
    szavanna Resident: since its not easy to walk - not so safe
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    szavanna Resident: :)
    szavanna Resident: how is your build coming on?
    Eliza Madrigal: And how is Monday for you?
    szavanna Resident: oh its been little crazy
    --BELL--
    szavanna Resident: but settling down now

    Bleu Oleander: what are you up to?
    szavanna Resident: I am doing well - after all the Monday madness °͜°
    szavanna Resident: trying to fight a mail spam problem in RL
    Bleu Oleander: ugh
    szavanna Resident: I work with academic journals
    szavanna Resident: and they started sending repeats of all mails
    Eliza Madrigal: am (keeping calm while I try to find my project and listening)
    Bleu Oleander: oh no
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    szavanna Resident: hehe so its been a bit mixed up trying to fix it
    Bleu Oleander: what goodies have you brought with you this morning Sunji?
    szavanna Resident: but now its all calm - PaB time :)
    szavanna Resident: oh its just something for the birthday
    Bleu Oleander: birthday suits ... :)
    szavanna Resident: Since Xiri made those clothes
    szavanna Resident: I put them in a commercial format hehe
    Bleu Oleander: lovely
    Bleu Oleander: u are so nice!
    szavanna Resident: you ;p~
    Bleu Oleander: :P
    szavanna Resident: and working on the birthday box also
    Bleu Oleander: there is a new book
    Bleu Oleander: about women
    Bleu Oleander: says u should accept compliments
    Bleu Oleander: not push aside :P
    Bleu Oleander: hehe
    szavanna Resident: hmm ok °͜°
    szavanna Resident: but then I always feel like returning it
    Bleu Oleander: called "Lean In"
    Bleu Oleander: by head of Facebook
    Eliza Madrigal: ah, want to read that too Cheryl Sandburg
    szavanna Resident: lean in?
    Bleu Oleander: she was on NPR this morning
    Eliza Madrigal: so many what seem to me, ridiculous interpretations of what she's saying
    szavanna Resident: NPR is that radio?
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bleu Oleander: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/07/bo...ref=books&_r=0
    szavanna Resident: ah national public radio
    Bleu Oleander: about gender bias
    Eliza Madrigal: the mainstream media seems to ignore her emphasis on how important supportive life partnerships are when it comes to achievement and go for "she says to be aggressive"
    Eliza Madrigal: grrr
    Bleu Oleander: and believing in yourself
    szavanna Resident: checking
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bleu Oleander: both really, lack of ambition and lack of support
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    szavanna Resident: listens
    Bleu Oleander: ways inwhich women hold themselves back
    Bleu Oleander: "internal obstacles"
    Bleu Oleander: good review by Anne-Marie Slaughter
    Eliza Madrigal despairs and cries because she can't find her project - is that undermining my authority as a competent female? lol
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Bleu Oleander: just indicative of a messy inventory haha
    Bleu Oleander: arrange in date order
    Bleu Oleander: and it should come to top
    Eliza Madrigal sighs... maybe inventory too cleaned up from weeks ago
    Eliza Madrigal: oh, let's see.... hm, ty
    szavanna Resident: she writes about how women can best rise to the top of the corporate world.
    Bleu Oleander: well you can clean too much lol
    szavanna Resident: hmm
    Bleu Oleander: that's my excuse for not cleaning lol
    Bleu Oleander: ok now I feel thematic :)
    szavanna Resident: hmm will read it properly after clas °͜°
    szavanna Resident: hehe
    szavanna Resident: PaB fashion
    Bleu Oleander: yes very fashionable
    --BELL--
    szavanna Resident: 20
    szavanna Resident: Liz is really really looking I see °͜°
    Bleu Oleander: "the dog ate my project" hehe
    szavanna Resident: I thought that by looking at the contents of the birthday box - we can also get ideas for the art build
    Bleu Oleander: ah yes
    Bleu Oleander: good idea
    szavanna Resident: hehehe °͜°
    szavanna Resident: I was playing with particles yesterday
    szavanna Resident: Xiri asked me to show her about particles and how they work
    Bleu Oleander: cool
    szavanna Resident: and then - there is the puppeteer
    szavanna Resident: that might be fun
    Bleu Oleander: puppeteer is fun
    szavanna Resident: yes and its very easy
    Bleu Oleander: some new party particles would be fun too
    szavanna Resident: yes :)
    szavanna Resident: may be I could have building classes at 8am daily

    Eliza Madrigal: where the heck could it have gone? lol
    Eliza Madrigal: I have all the parts but not the linked work
    Bleu Oleander: hands her a box of kleenex
    szavanna Resident: hehe not sure
    Eliza Madrigal: :::Blows nose:::::
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    szavanna Resident: wipes tears
    szavanna Resident: °͜° and givers her soft toy
    Bleu Oleander: and some chocolate
    Eliza Madrigal smiles... female bonding
    szavanna Resident: mmm can I have too
    Bleu Oleander: so just need to link up again?
    szavanna Resident feels teary
    Bleu Oleander: hands kleenex and chocolate to Sunji too
    Eliza Madrigal: well I guess I can do that... but hm... I fidgeted a lot and still want to write a poem... hm
    Bleu Oleander: oh yes ... a poem
    szavanna Resident: "thank you Bleuji" - she says wiping tears
    Bleu Oleander: me too
    Eliza Madrigal: chocolate and tears go well with poetry maybe
    szavanna Resident: I am not good with poems
    Bleu Oleander: don't say that
    szavanna Resident: mmm
    Bleu Oleander: just write one
    Eliza Madrigal: :))
    Bleu Oleander: say I'm a wonderful poet
    szavanna Resident: smiles ok lets see :)
    szavanna Resident: I am a wonderful poet ;o)
    Bleu Oleander: lol

    Bleu Oleander: u gotta be kidding .... hahaha
    szavanna Resident: lol
    Eliza Madrigal: hehehe.... pass the chocolate again
    szavanna Resident: Liz really has her way with words :)
    Bleu Oleander: just ate the last piece
    Eliza Madrigal: grrr.. hm... now what
    Bleu Oleander: cheese perhaps?
    Eliza Madrigal: mmm... raspberries!
    Bleu Oleander: that was cheesy of me lol
    szavanna Resident: with mustard?
    Eliza Madrigal: ack
    Bleu Oleander: mUSt-art
    szavanna Resident: °͜°
    szavanna Resident: lol I meant the cheese
    Eliza Madrigal: well it looks like I have to start the project all over :(
    Bleu Oleander: oh no
    Bleu Oleander: u have the parts though right?
    szavanna Resident: you sure?
    Eliza Madrigal: I had to put together five objects to make it
    Eliza Madrigal: so I'll have to get them again etc... but at least I have the blueprint in my mind
    Eliza Madrigal: that's probably the hardest part
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bleu Oleander: brb
    szavanna Resident: kk :)
    Eliza Madrigal: "I'm a wonderful poet" is a sort of bleu print :P
    --BELL--
    Bleu Oleander: :P
    Eliza Madrigal: we can only work with patterns we've been exposed to maybe - also part of Cheryl's message?
    Bleu Oleander: ah yes
    Eliza Madrigal: empowerment patterns :)
    Bleu Oleander: perhaps the talent lies in a creative new arrangement of those patterns?
    szavanna Resident: Can you summarise a little for me please?
    Eliza Madrigal nods Bleu
    szavanna Resident: sounds very interesting
    Bleu Oleander: that's actually not a bad definition of creativity?
    Eliza Madrigal: was making a connection between inner obstacles and inner patterns Sun
    szavanna Resident: kk
    Eliza Madrigal: that if inside we've adopted a pattern of refusing compliments, for instance...
    szavanna Resident: ok
    Eliza Madrigal: because it is polite for women to do that
    Bleu Oleander: new connections of old patterns
    Eliza Madrigal: it might become an obstacle in another context
    Eliza Madrigal: though maybe appropriate in some
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    szavanna Resident: but this is true to everyone
    Bleu Oleander: i'm reading such an interesting book ...
    Bleu Oleander: "Blind Spot"
    Eliza Madrigal: yes.... but men aren't socialized the same way
    Bleu Oleander: we will meet the author on our Boston trip
    szavanna Resident: it also depends on the part of world?
    szavanna Resident: ah great Bleuji :)
    Eliza Madrigal: yes, am sure it must... though how many parts of the world are men not paying a social price if they are "stay at home dad" etc
    szavanna Resident: hmm true
    Eliza Madrigal googles for book
    Bleu Oleander: amazing tests you can take
    Bleu Oleander: one sec ... looking for link
    szavanna Resident: ok ty :)
    Eliza Madrigal: not "why smart people do dumb things" ? lol
    szavanna Resident: :)
    Bleu Oleander: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implici...ndercareer.htm
    Bleu Oleander: very interesting to see if you have a gender bias
    Bleu Oleander: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/
    Bleu Oleander: other test are interesting too
    szavanna Resident: thanks saved the link °͜°
    Bleu Oleander: so seems we tell ourselves a lot of stories that we don't even know we're listening to
    Bleu Oleander: the "inner" stories that Sheryl talks about
    Bleu Oleander: I was shocked by some of the results
    Eliza Madrigal nods... and considering that many would call "self" a narrative..
    Bleu Oleander: yes!
    Bleu Oleander: we have "self" stories
    szavanna Resident: yes sometimes its not easy at all to see that those are just stories
    Bleu Oleander: often don't match the stories others have about us lol
    Eliza Madrigal: yes!!
    Bleu Oleander: I think avatars help a bit to see one's stories
    Bleu Oleander: how we define ourselves
    Bleu Oleander: in simpler terms
    szavanna Resident: yes I think - SL can be a good platform for tests
    Eliza Madrigal: they can, for sure
    szavanna Resident: SL can be so useful for all kinds of research I think
    szavanna Resident: hi Druthy :)
    Bleu Oleander: hiya druth :)
    druth Vlodovic: hi guys
    Eliza Madrigal: it is, many layers to it - lots of observers and almost no strictly observees, maybe :)
    --BELL--
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Druth :)
    druth Vlodovic: I like the different coloured pab outfits
    Bleu Oleander: where is yours?
    Eliza Madrigal: SL is a fertile field for awareness
    szavanna Resident: hehe
    druth Vlodovic: have to admit the white ones didn't fit my idiom :)
    Bleu Oleander: nice contrast though?
    Eliza Madrigal: I have been complimented on the blue pattern a lot... even shared it with a few non PaB folks
    szavanna Resident: yes I love it
    Bleu Oleander: me too
    Bleu Oleander loves blue
