One can see it as a risk, when Real Life gets stressful, to find oneself spending a little more time in Second Life than usual. But, then again, Real Life kept me away from Second Life so much that "more than usual" is more like "back to previous levels."

I had a long chat with Beginning about my woes, and she was, as always, understanding and curiously insightful in that way she has.

Lee Ludd was AFK and unable to help me directly, but he was kind enough to point me to his website, which provided instructions on how to reconfigure and reinstall the doors. It took several attempts, but I finally got them back to where they were in my reprimmed house.

I've discovered that my new configuration comes with some slight disadvantages in terms of texturing--I'm forced to keep floor, walls and ceiling all the same color--so I rezzed myself a rug and did a little creative texture work with some building class materials. It'll do for now.

I ended up going on a maddened shopping spree, buying chairs and wings from Seven's Selections and a couple of goth outfits from Bare Rose. Then I called up Beginning (if you will) and took her out on a date.

We settled on the Blue Note, had a nice little ballroom dance for a while and then went to the boardwalk, where we made a marvelous discovery. There's a spot where you can rez a couples walk so one person can walk for both avatars as they hold hands together.

Anybody who has been following along will understand why this was such a perfect invention for the pair of us. There was also a version for purchase--I bought the 'holding close' one--that we should be taking advantage of in future.

So we walked together and had a swoony moment in the park (the Blue Note sim is one of the best spots for romance that I know of in Second Life) and then got a notice from Quantum Tribe Laboratories that they were having a DJ round robin, so we decided to go out with a bang and headed there for a while. Things started to get slow and pixelly, so we bowed out graciously instead of tempting the crashmonster.

It felt good to have that. It seems even romances like ours need a little rekindling now and then.
