Make New Friends
But Keep the Old
One is Silver
And the Other's Gold

This theme of old and new friends has been popping up a lot for me lately. I often say that things of this magnitude do not happen on accident, and this is no exception.

The whole cycle started with an SL Hunt, believe it not. The Hunt is meant to inspire friendship in all its forms and it even based on the rhyme above. Thought it was a very cute idea and even got inspired for a Hunt Prize...


Didn't think much of the necklace until I got a very nice compliment from Mirari about it. Nevertheless, this became some sort of catalyst to which a cacophony of other events have sprung forth.

For starters I've had some old friends whom I'd recently lost contact with on SL sudden;y spring up out of the woodwork like the owner of the very first Club I ever DJ'ed at on SL. Was quite a shock since I had not spoken to him in over 2 years, but it was also nice to know that he still considers me a close friend after all this time.

I also finally gave in and joined Plurk last week. I'm hoping it'll help in terms of extra promotion for events I'm doing in SL. Link's on the sidebar if you want to add to my insanity, btw. ;-)

I also got to see the wonderful impact of another close friend, Marx Dudek, and how she's become so special to so many others.


Her 4th Rez Day party was totally on the spur of the moment... and yet the place was filled to the brim with all sorts of guys, gals, skunks, goats, aliens, robots and of course... bunnies! By the end I think Marx was blushing and smiling so much that her face is probably still hurting now. I've had the rare privilege to get to know her IRL as well, and trust me she's just as spectacular. :-)

Unfortunately, not all of the reminders of friendship have been good ones. Thursday evening, in particular, was a -very- bad day and part of it was certainly my own fault. When you have someone do multiple posts on Facebook about being pissed off... you know you did something really bad. I know that I wasn't the total cause, but it did hurt to see those reactions. Goes to show that taking some deep breaths is best before you go and say something completely stupid... especially to someone who has already been having a bad week to begin with.

Hopefully there will be a way to make peace... but that remains to be seen.
