Animated Experiencer

Supposedly this is my Personal DNA. My personality. Some of these, I think are true. Would love to hear what y'all think tho! Especially those closest to me! Here is what it said.

about you

you are an experiencer

Your inquisitive nature, imagination, and hands-on practicality make you an EXPERIENCER

Although you have an active imagination, you also concern yourself with the functional elements of things.

You are willing to experiment to find things that work the most efficiently.

Getting stuck in certain habits is boring to you—you'd rather find new experiences.

Accordingly, experiences are more important to you than objects—you'd rather spend your money and energy on events and adventures than on material things.

You like to contemplate a lot of options before making a decision, and you're willing and able to consider a lot of different angles to problems.

You're open to suggestions, and often rely on others to assess the merit of those suggestions.

You have an ability to see the big picture—not just how things are, but how they could be—in a variety of situations.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time. how you relate to others you are animated You are outgoing, comfortable with others, and up for anything, which makes you ANIMATED. Some people find crowds and parties exhausting, but not you! You are able to be yourself in many situations. Sometimes it is hard for you to understand why others feel the way they do, but that doesn't stop you from trusting them or having faith that they are good people. You know the world is complicated and that there is often more than one side to a story, so you are careful not to make judgments about others too hastily. You would rather experience the world than sit back and observe it—you are not one to sit on the sidelines. You are an independent thinker and don't get too worried about how others might perceive you—you are not self-conscious about being the active, engaged person that you are. Although you have a keen understanding of different people's life circumstances, you occasionally have trouble seeing why people get so upset and emotional about things—they should just lighten up and have fun! In addition to having faith in the world, you have faith in the people around you—you trust others to do the right thing and to be honest.

Until the next Junction

I found out that there is this place in SL where you can go get a candle and launch it in memory of a certain someone. You can choose the color of the candle, what to name it, and then launch it. I launched a black candle and named it 'scum' for my friend that passed away on New Years. The memorial was all day today. There were non-stop live performances from 7 AM -till. I didn't go until later after I got off of work at 8, but from what i heard, the venue was packed all day. There was a donation box to help his family in RL. This man was so warm, and so loving, there were so many people there for him. Not only that, t

he performers volunteered their time to do this. Everyone loved him. Anyway, at the memorial someone told us all about this place that you could do the candle thing. So I, still upset and all emotional and stuff from the memorial, took a few pics of me launching the candle and watching it float away. So this one's for you scum. "until the next junction"

How do you cope?

Let me begin by saying that everything happens for a reason, and that there are just some things that can't be helped. While this may not make things better at the time, in the long run, this is something that should be remembered.

We all come on to SL and relationships begin to build, be it they be a friendship, a love, or something that would be close to family. I am one who believes that the relationships you make over SL, or anything similar, are real. They are true because of the emotions and the feelings. With that said, when I care for someone, it runs deep. I appreciate the people that I have met, they have influenced my life in some way, form, or fashion and I hope that continues.

Now to one of the points of this post. When you meet someone, and a bond starts to form, then you lose that bond over time, because of different paths or RLs being too busy or whatever, how do you deal with it? Do you just move on from that person or do you run to them with open arms when they come back? This is something I am dealing with with someone very important to me and it is something one of my friends and I discussed the other night. It seems we are going through similar situations and it just made me wonder what others do. If it's a friend, it's sad, but it's not as difficult, I wouldn't think, as if it's a boyfriend/girlfriend or a partner. What do you do then? Do you just stay in the relationship? Do you cheat? I mean really? How do you deal with it? Especially if you don't talk much outside of SL... I don't know maybe it's just me.

The main point of this blog was the title. How do you cope? How do you cope when you find out that one of your good friends, one that you may or may not have lost touch with, but knew that you were still just as close, has passed away. Dealing with things like this has not been my strongest suit since I have had some pretty traumatic things happen in RL. But it's just a difficult and sad time right now and I just wanted to get some of this stuff off of my mind and into blog form.

Also, I wanted to thank all of my friends who have been there for me. You know who you are. It means the world to me, and more. I'm very blessed to have such a great group of friends. Love you all.

**And that's one thing that my friends passing has reminded me of. We need to make sure that those we love know exactly how much we love them. Don't take one day for granted.**

R.I.P Scum, you will be missed dearly.
