    Riddle Sideways: No Bodies here, but...

    Riddle Sideways: Thank you Sam for the magic Menorah that
    Riddle Sideways: either script-ly knows the date and lights the correct candle at SLT sundown
    Riddle Sideways: or you come and light the next candle each day
    Riddle Sideways: Some workings of SL and the inhabitants are better if not known.

    Riddle Sideways: Thank you, Aph for the school of fishies :)
    Riddle Sideways: was reading of some others that have sat on them
                         --BELL-- 
    Riddle Sideways: does not seem to hurt them
    Riddle Sideways: and they give a circular ride

    Darren Islar: hi Riddle
    Riddle Sideways: Hey Darren

    Riddle Sideways: long time not chatting
    Riddle Sideways: was just playing
    Darren Islar: yeah, I'm afraid sl is busy at the moment .... I notice :)
    Riddle Sideways: what kinda stuff you doing in SL
    Riddle Sideways: ?
    Darren Islar: well, we have the group on Monday ...I have a gf and I'm involved in a few role plays
    Riddle Sideways: busy
    Darren Islar: I guess I needed to taste 'normal' life ... still do
    Riddle Sideways: is the monday group the role playing
    Riddle Sideways: hehehe, which normal :)
    Darren Islar: no, the Monday group is the Original Face group, Call and I facilitate
    Riddle Sideways: riding a school of fishies in circles could be normal for ... umm do not know who
    Darren Islar: on Calls plot
    Darren Islar: hehehe
    Riddle Sideways: oh, that is right
    Darren Islar: it's why I put 'normal' between quotes
    Riddle Sideways: :)
    Riddle Sideways: is gf in SL or RL ?
    Darren Islar: but those role plays are situations in which I get triggered a lot .... it has learned me a lot about myself
    Riddle Sideways: (if not too personal)
    Darren Islar: about my irritations, my buttons, my anger
    Darren Islar: sl
    Darren Islar: you know I'm a woman, this gf I have is with Darren
    Riddle Sideways: ah yes, good to revisit those places
    Darren Islar: yes :)
    Riddle Sideways: think those places, buttons, whatevers move around over time
    Darren Islar: hmmmm, yes, but some go back a long time
    Darren Islar: those buttons wear different jackets but .... well

    Riddle Sideways: Hi Observem, long time no see
    Darren Islar: hi Obs :)

    Riddle Sideways: have 'known' both of you for some time
    Riddle Sideways: and still do not know much about you
    Darren Islar: I see, er .... is he hiding ... observing in the bushes?
    Riddle Sideways: it is ok, to observe
    Darren Islar: okay
    Riddle Sideways: it bothers some others
    Darren Islar: it feels weird yes
    Riddle Sideways: but so do other things bother each of us differently
    Darren Islar: [Alessandro] nods
    Riddle Sideways: have never known the RL gender of either of you, and it really does not matter
    Riddle Sideways: have not the curiousity
    Darren Islar: but it's different then just reading a log, it is different to him as well, since otherwise he would read the log
                         --BELL-- 
                 Observem moves 55m away.

    Riddle Sideways: feeling that we just chased Observ away
    Darren Islar: gender is not important, unless you do something with it that you can't do in sl, since you asked about my gf ....
    Riddle Sideways: Observus does not like to be talked about
    Darren Islar: hmmmmm... I understand, but he's bound to this way
    Riddle Sideways: exactly, gender not mater
    Darren Islar: hehehe
    Darren Islar: I didn't mean to scare him of, I just said what I felt
    Riddle Sideways: true
    Riddle Sideways: wondering about pronoun-ing Observ as he/him
    Darren Islar nods
    Darren Islar: I just responded to a thread ... if we don't know, we use 'he'
    Riddle Sideways: like in hebrew :)
    Riddle Sideways: sorry, am being sensitive
    Riddle Sideways: due to spending last week with several gender studies people
    Darren Islar: what do you mean sensitive
    Riddle Sideways: the selection of words to put into any sentence
    Darren Islar: ah ... well, maybe you should read my post :)
    Darren Islar nods ... I refer exactly to that :)
    Riddle Sideways: ur;?
    Riddle Sideways: url?
    Darren Islar: e-mail

    Darren Islar nods
    Riddle Sideways: typist problem, kitty in face
    Darren Islar: if I read something unreadable, I take it it's the cat :)

    Darren Islar: I have been sensitive for using he and she for a long time
    Riddle Sideways: have meant to write a long distortation on pronouns too

    Alfred Kelberry: ah, true
    Darren Islar: ah ... and why is he the little elephant, sometimes ... oh no doubt he's cute
    Riddle Sideways: not sure what mood makes the selection of avi
