Back from exile . . .
My fleshy self was finishing up a novel in November, so time inworld was limited.
Miles is back inworld a little more frequently, but we won't be seeing each other in RL for I don't know how long. Not terribly important at this juncture.
Things have taken an interesting turn with the alt.
I proposed. And she accepted.
I gave her a little ring I'd made with a DIY kit I'd bought.
We danced together at Quantum, to celebrate.
It is a strange, strange thing. And yet wonderful.
I understand the appeal. There is something quite delightful about looking at your profile and seeing that little space with a name in it. Even one that, technically, belongs to yourself.
I suppose to an outsider, it might seem a little weird and self-absorbed. But considering the way my last SL relationship tore me asunder when it ended (I've only spoken of it in veiled terms because it also had a RL component, and I truly do not want this person's name dragged through the mud as "the one who broke CyFishy's heart") perhaps this just what I need to be doing. Instead of waiting for someone to give me what I seek, I can give it to myself.
Now all I have to do is clean up my machine so I can run two viewers with a little less strain . . . ;)

Oh no, you mistook my meaning ...
I think your journey is pretty cool. Glad you decided to post about it.
I can see that . . .
I kinda figured that's what you meant, but I got off on a tangent in my reply. In my own case, it's sort of the opposite for me--if somebody is only going to talk to me if there is 'hope' of hooking up, I'm not so sure it's that much of a loss to me of they won't. But that's just me--we're obviously coming to SL with different perspectives in terms of what we're seeking and there's nothing wrong with either way of looking at it.
