Second Life is evil!

[yakalskovich]

Once, and never again!

That damn over-hyped application is so totally non multi-tasking compatible, it eats your whole brainwidth worse than a phone call, you don't notice the time passing or how cold it gets while you try to marshal your measly 3D avatar.

japanologist talked me into trying it (thus getting me to miss tags from Jack and Seth because he was talking a blue streak at me via IM), then I tried, and then.

I got sucked in. I forgot. I hardly noticed people coming online; poor nazgulwears got almost ignored. I pushed my avatar around, flew, walked under water, tickled a dragon, dressed in purple and then preferred my more usual browns and greens, then fiddled with the avi's hair, then drove around with a very unhandy car, and then...

In the meanwhile, the mailbox had chimed, unheeded. And when I looked, there were two tags from Eamon in there. 45 minutes old, that I had overlooked because of damn Second Life.

That's utterly unforgivable. Fuck Second Life, fuck the posh-sounding idea of me being a trend scout for Red Bear House, fuck Sethos Barbosa and his fluffy hairdo, fuck the dragon, even! Nothing, absolutely nothing in the world that makes me not notice two Eamon tags can be tolerated in the least. I'll delete the account, uninstall the software from my computer, and damn the whole fucking idea straight to Jonathan Vision's deepest hell.

Vade retro, satanas!!

By now, of course, Eamon-mun had given up on me, which makes me even sadder, and angrier at damn Second Life! I hate failing people, I get furious when somebody at work tried to keep me from catching my bus - and then that!! Utterly intolerable...

LOL, awww! Not given up, just had to do some repair work on my computer that necessitated shutting down and stuff.

[yakalskovich]

Oh, I am enormously relieved at that, and happily tagging back now!

*hugs*

"Second Life"is for those who haven't got a first.

[yakalskovich]

It replaces with software what people's words are lacking.-

Nah, I know what I want, and it's weird enough, and Second Life is not it.-

Second Life? Heard of that. Heard Sweden is setting up an embassy and cultural center in there. Not EVEN kidding. Cyberdiplomacy. What'll they think of next?

Looked at their website once. Thought it too ugly to be something I want to spend any time looking at for any reason. Blaaaaaaah!

Before I forget, cheevy has 20 new yoinkable icons, compliments of some photo hosting site I'd never heard of and will probably never find again. :D Also I tossed a fullsize version of one of the prettier ones on his lookup, if you wanted to customize it or something and put it on Schnozzle's GJ. :)

[yakalskovich]

Oooh - thanks! From both me and Schnozzle. I'll yoink them!

At the moment, Schnozzle's got thread with a sad, cute little artist, after having been a bit rude at an exhibition preview last Friday...

[yakalskovich]

Thanks - grabbed some of them.

You might like to use this one of Schnozzle's for plot purposes wot I noticed going down in Milliways:



Perhaps change the colour, as the purpleness is fraught with connotations in Milliways...

Oh, I didn't notice you were elsewhere...
I admit I was quite busy at the playstation and only got my work done at 5:30 am.
I must not buy more games.
I planned to get up at 12 but it was 12:30 until I slouched into the bathroom and minutes after that the cute Postmuggle came with a package. And I was still in my PJs and he is not supposed to see me like that until we are married. Unfortunately he has seen me like that pretty often. :-(

[yakalskovich]

Ohh, good. I really didn't mean to ignore you or anybody, really.

At least I can now diss Secod Life from something like an informed position.
