We all notice the idiots who try to spoil it for us, but thankfully they're in the minority. Since I started I've come across some very nice people, and I feel privileged to call them friends.
Like most I have some friends who are closer than others, and I am lucky to be able to call Lotus, Ana and Humm good friends. They are all intelligent, funny and good fun, and I know I can rely on them if I need a friend - as they can me.
Lotus is on the left and Ana on the right. This was taken while we were chilling after Ana's trivia at Moysies.
Lotus was the first person I met. She was at the first trivia event I went to at Carvers Cove. I was amazed at how quickly she answered the questions, and I was determined to beat her if I could. Somehow I came 2nd and she stopped to chat to me. We then started seeing each other at different trivia events, and still send messages if we're online and we find a new event to go to. I know I can talk to her about anything, and she will always have an honest and impartial opinion. One of the few I respect and trust in World.
I also first met Ana at Carvers Cove. She was new and even from day one she was Queen of trivia. She is extremely intelligent and has some of the fastest fingers I know. We've slowly got to know each other over the months, and when I needed a friend a while ago, she was there for me. She has a very quick, dry sense of humour and is a valued friend as well.
And then there's Humm. I haven't really known her as long as the others, but in the last few weeks I've got to know her better. Again, I first met her at trivia, but this time it was her first hosting event at Double Standards. She runs it, and she always has ideas for new events and things to try. She's a good listener, and someone you can have a good laugh with too.
There are also a lot of other people who I call friends - the people I meet nearly every day at the regular events I go to. I don't know all of you as well as I do others, but it's always nice to see a friendly face when you go somewhere, and I know that during the course of a day, some of us will always end up at the same place at the same time. It's always nice to share a joke and have a chat to people you know, and things just wouldn't be the same without you all. I hope you all know who you are - there are just far too many of you to list. I am privileged, though, to be able to spend part of my day from people from different parts of the Globe, and these people are part of my extended Second Life family. It wouldn't be the same without them.
