I had everything ready at 9:30 AM local time. I was all set to have a great day of blogging, emails, and twittering several hours before work. I even planned to go inworld for an hour.
Then disaster struck as my access went down. A few minutes later I realized my cable TV was offline too. Did I pay the bill. I suddenly had doubts. I called Comcast and - yes I paid, but my neighborhood was offline for maintenance....for 8 frakking hours!
But wait, there's this thingie called Real Life, I watched a taped TV show from last night and guess what? For the first time since January I paid attention to what I was watching. I put on my hearing aid and listened to my iPod. My cat wanted to play and I actually paid attention to him. I got ready for work early, and drove to Barnes & Noble where I had an Iced Coffee, wandered about and browsed the books and magazines, interacting with RL people throughout the store!
There were non-avatars everywhere! All milling about without any knowledge of SL whatsoever. Have you ever caught yourself standing and moving like your avatar's AO? Yes I've done that before and I did it again today at the bookstore. At least I didn't walk into walls. The sim seemed to be working very well. *grins*

hehe i cant say that walking like my ao ever hapened although maybe i do do unconsciously.
iin a way i'm glad you got to spend sometime irl, looks like you had a lot of fun. i do that too once in a while to remind me that sl is just a game.
LOL! Zoe, I love this post...I can relate to it! While getting gas one day, I found myself looking up in the sky like my avi and chuckled! Keep up the great work!
Ah yes. SL is with me every second of every day, especially when I constantly nd subconsciously try and Alt-Cam 2D images in Photoshop...
