Second Life is the Crystal Meth of the Internet (You Have Been Warned!!)

Time to post some more "snapshots" from my adventures in Second Life.  I'm spending way too much time online, to the detriment of my real life activities, I will admit.  Second Life is the crystal meth of the Internet; it's that addictive.  So I am warning all of you now, don't get into this unless you have some time to put towards it, because there is a steep learning curve, and (if you are part of that 10% of people who "get it") it will keep drawing you back in.

3 a.m. Observation

(Yes, it's 3:00 a.m. and I'm awake.  My sleeping has been totally fucked up since I've had to have my antidepressant meds adjusted, and it's extremely exhausting and frustrating.  I've been tinkering with various ways to feel less depressed for a while now.)

Anyways, the thought that came to me at 3:00 a.m.:

There's something deeply wrong with a society where, for far too many people, it is easier to get a Big Mac than a big hug.

ARGH! Call Extreme Makeover!!

I just found out this morning that my 25th high school reunion is coming up in 10 weeks.  Of course, I would have found out about it a lot sooner if I had bothered to check classmates.com every so often.  *sigh*  Figures, it's one of the few social networking websites I ignore....

I find it ironic that both me and my friend Lynne are on their Missing Grads list :-) guess I'd better get myself un-missing.....I seem to remember they had the same problem tracking me down at the 10th high school reunion. 

Of course, I'm going.  But I need an Extreme Makeover, pronto!  AAARGH!!!
