Doing this in the House and wanted to put it here to...18:55 Feb 22 2009

Twenty five things VR style.
1. VR is the first website I joined when I brought my own laptop when I was 39 years old. While I had used a computer at work, old desk top, when I got a notebook is when I started to “play” on it- VR was my first social network and still the only one I go to everyday.
2. I was first in a Coven, that master left VR, and I was asked to join another. I stayed there until the Asst Master really got on my nerves with her demand of favors. System messages sent out to “Get your ass to winning favors” I left soon after reaching Sire.
3. I remember when Images asked me to join House Eternal. I remember calling Birdie and Cat, asking what I should do. I also recall telling Images she needed to look at my journal as I am not, what I believed at the time, House Eternal stock. Lol But very glad she left the invite open as I have found my home with these great people.
4. I remember the joy at passing the acolyte test on my second try, and Joli asking me to become a Sentoran soon after. Made me know that I have stayed in good standing of the “powers to be” on the site. Now to stay that way.
5. Cancer- while the man always makes me nervous I have enjoyed the few times we have talked. (I always fear being a “gem” in his journal.) But the longer I am here, hearing of him from others the more I see him as a man who is just that- a man to treat with respect but not one to be afraid of.
6. I feel bad when I don’t check profiles/portfolios and journals everyday as part of what I volunteered to do for the site. It’s like leaving something not done.
7. I worried, after stating in the main forum that VR accounts should not be brought, that I buying the two Sire accounts would be seen as being two faced.
8. I give Sahahria credit for making me want to write again. To enjoy expressing my imagination on paper. And she makes me want to be a better writer.
9. Morrigon is given credit of bringing my love of photograph back into my life. She showed me the beauty all around me, to take your time to see it. She is also the woman on here I am most impressed with as an artist and human being.
10. While lots of people on VR call me a friend- only five or six people talk to me here. And that does not bother me at all.
11. Stabb has been a big influence in my VR life, being a friend and someone I can talk to without worry of being judged.
12. If I go a day without checking on VR it feels like I have gone without brushing my teeth, it is so normal for me to do.
13. Drama on VR is funny to me. Why? Real life is so much more dramatic to me than anything online.
14. VR has put me to sleep on more nights, early mornings then I can ever try and count. Rating profiles makes me sleepy, dulling my mind so I can go back to sleep. For that alone I owe Cancer, as site builder, a huge hug.
15. Same as above- VR helps me with stress. During the day I can take an hour to rate, read journals and I calm down form whatever was bothering me at the time, see it clearer.
16. It took me a while but I have learned the rating system on VR is a joke, to take it as such. It is just when the rude comments come with them that will set me off still. (working on that too)
17. When I joined the site three years ago, I never ever though I would talk to the likes of Images, Moonie, Morrigon, Stabb, and others. And being part of the team that helps run the show? Never entered my mind.
18. My journal is my heaven, and after private entries I see it as such even more. Another reason to hug Cancer. While I know some of it pushes the limits- I am very glad I have never been asked to edit it. Yeah freedom of journals.
19. Being asked to join a coven geared toward writers, who members include published writers, shocked me as I have no education to match theirs.
20. Being made Asst Coven Master and Asst House Master, having that trust put in me from others is an honor I cherish.
21. I will meet my House Mates at a meet up, even if I have to get on a plane. I will give Doe a big hug as I look up at her, I will meet Morrigon and enjoy joking around with her as we have drinks, and I will meet Images and her family and see that smile in person.
22. When I read journals and see the problems and pain others suffer it makes me sad. But the fun ones, the happy ones make me smile. I have gotten where I check on my friends online by reading their journals, making sure they are alright. And miss when they go a while between writing.
23. I have #22 people on my friends list and look forward to seeing those little pics each day, even if I don’t chat with them. I know they are alright and hope they know all they have to do is message me if I can help them.
24. I can’t see me ever getting tired of VR, so much to do here. Even fun of late to read the main forum some days.
25. A well known member on the site threatens to have me thrown off due to my stories. I was in a Coven and the Master asked me to post one of my sexy stories in a thread in the forum, marking it as Sexual Stories in the adult only Coven as he knew others in the Coven wrote the same kind of stories. I did- and this well known member had a shit fit and had two others join in her bashing of me. The Coven Master step up and told them to stop- which lead to her leaving the coven, telling me she would see I was thrown off the site. Really glad she was not able to do this. :)

It's cool to have company. Especially when you get to meet online friends in person.

I still say we need to pick a central location and ALL of us roadtrip it to a hotel for an extended weekend- it is a definite must do in the future-
And thank GOD you never found that track of Achy Breaky Heart to play- I think puppy would have had to bite the rat in the ass for that one-
And long live the two hour showers with philosophy and flocker...LMAO
