I been quiet a long time. \u00a0Might as well ramble about something or other. (=_=)<\/p>\n
I’m starting to linger in SL a bit more lately. \u00a0Guild Wars 2 has become a little ‘meh’ since about level 70. \u00a0Though, it’s still bloody fun at times. \u00a0It’s surely something I’ll stay casual with. \u00a0SL, on the other hand, is still my virtual home. (^_^)<\/p>\n
It’s been nice to see so many people flooding each others’ inventories with images and objects resembling holiday cards. \u00a0I sent out my card to everyone on my friends list. \u00a0It’s a personal tradition that many others have. \u00a0But, one thing I been thinking about was that these cards are actually a bit more meaningful and personal than the ones being traded in RL. (o.o)<\/p>\n
Think about it. \u00a0The cards we usually give are from Hallmark(tm) or what have you. \u00a0They’re pre-printed with pre-chosen quips, quotes, and statements. \u00a0All we’re doing is picking the attractive ones from a shelf of hundreds. \u00a0Maybe you’ll find one with a hole in it to stick a family photo. \u00a0But, in the end, they’re all bulk printed stock with the same selection in each and every store. \u00a0If you’re not careful, you may even give someone the exact same card 2 years in a row. \u00a0(>_<)<\/p>\n
But, in SL, we’ve kind of brought the personality back. \u00a0There doesn’t seem to be a market for gift card\u00a0imagery\u00a0in a world of generally creative people. \u00a0We have all made our own cards which we share. \u00a0Now, it may just be one card each year sent to everyone, but we put the effort into finding or creating a image and sticking our own quote or quip on it. \u00a0I personally arrange a self-photo session, usually trying to out-do my previous one. \u00a0I mull over\u00a0something\u00a0silly to say over it, usually in attempt to make a skimpy clothing joke. \u00a0In the end, it’s something I worked on and created. \u00a0And, I’m not the only one! (^_^)<\/p>\n
I see it as part of the virtual world which as allowed us to be a bit more real. \u00a0It’s an opportunity usually missed in life that we’re able to explore thanks to this technology. \u00a0Pretty frigg’n cool, I say. (^_^)y<\/p>\n
