Heart Beats:

What I Want:

I don't want you to be a certain way, I don’t want you to stop doing something , or start doing something. You don't have to be good or better or even headed in the right direction. I just want a small shard of truth. A spark to ignite my mind. A signpost in the endless fog of my life. Isn’t that what you want from me?

Inappropriate:

There are only a few appropriate answers to any question. If you want to be funny, respond with an answer that is inappropriate in some way. For instance, consider an IM asking what you are doing. You might reply:

1. Dancing with a friend => Completely appropriate, humor level zero
2. Dancing with a lover =>  Mildly risque, humor level plus one
3. Dancing with a foe    =>  Inappropriate, nobody dances with the enemy, humor level plus four.

Of course, you have to be selective with the inappropriateness of your response. For example, you could reply to the question above with, "what's it to you?" That's not funny, that's hostile.

Hostility is almost always appropriate and therefore not usually humorous.

What I Know:

Good writers should write what they know. That's why they're called authors, because they are an authority on what they are writing about. Therefore, I'm focusing on what I know best, mental instability, obsessive compulsive behavior, insecurity, self-doubt, loneliness and despair. I would write more, but now I'm too depressed.

Flying:

I discovered flying in SL. The problem with flying is that if you see something interesting, it's hard to instantly stop and check it out. Maybe I should get a helicopter instead of a plane. The view from the air is great. I seem to spot many more interesting buildings than when I'm on a boat. Below is a photo I took coming in over an island in the Blake Sea. I ended up crashing into the ocean right after I snapped the photo. My viewer wanted to know where to save the picture and before I could answer, the plane was in the water. You can't beat the price on that aircraft, it's free from the marketplace at this link.
