It was last Friday that I had to rethink this world and our lives. Human was struggling with approaching migraine attack and everything sounded like another evening spent in bed with no sounds and no lights. Still, no matter how being in front of the monitor is painful in those moments, I had to log in. It was my rezzday. Of all the days in the year, how could I miss that one?
What is so important about rezzdays? Well, nothing. But we have to celebrate ourselves from time to time. Birthday would be a nice date too, but in second life nobody knows your birthday, and you usually cannot afford to spend a day with computer on your birthday. That would really piss off human friends.
Beside that, it’s good to place some milestones in life. What nobody tells you when you start your second life is that it easily turns into deep and weird psycho adventure. To make things more interesting, it changes as you go. It rarely has sudden turns that you notice immediately, but once you take a look behind, you can find yourself surprised. Especially if you take a look over the whole year. Another year!
So what do we do to mark an another year and celebrate it? We jump naked from the sky. With Mary Poppins umbrella in the hand. It’s Moggs Oceanlane that invented the tradition:
Retrospectively this could look like a deep statement… you know… jumping naked from the sky is a symbolism of jumping into the unknown world of second life. But it’s not… it was just me being silly.
Thanks for doing the jump. *grins and skips happily off into cyberspace*
Adds… Second Life has constantly surprised me, and I find that they way I think about things sometimes changes. It’s a different environment with a different set of rules. Anything and anyone can happen and it’s best to just jump in, eyes wide open and enjoy the experience – you are bound to learn something about yourself and maybe others too if you are receptive to the experience. Dive in… the water is nice.
Yay being silly! An’ Happy Rezday. :)
[...] Sunday was my rezzday, so I did have to jump nekkid from the sky, a habit of which I learned from dandellion Kimban on Plurk. I went to SkyDive on Podcast Island, which is out of order, so I flew up 300 meters and [...]
Oh, I love to jump from my sky platform. But it never occurred to me to try it naked. I was too afraid of shocking the people I might land on! And I go full-tilt; no umbrella to slow my fall. Love to watch those flailing arms and legs, and the face plant onto the Linden soil!
It’s an interesting rezz day habit :)
Oh, umbrella is more a fashion thing that a helper. Falling from 2000+ meters made not only plant my face into the ground but actually digging deep beneath the server surface :)
And falling naked on people is part of the fun. After all, everything can be forgiven on your rezzday.
Moggs, that is probably the best advice one can get in the first days!
O Dandellion thou art so full of chaotic joy and yet chaotic sadness simultaneously delighting my synapses :-) TY so much for being here and sharing with us. You are a magical being even tho u can’t help it :-)

Happy Rez Day Danedelion.
