Ok, I was pissing and moaning, down there, right. Then Ally got on, and we started talking. This is our chat log, here. Hate chatlogs, whatever, it's my blog, if I wanted to type the letter q over and over 9 million times, I would. Buckle up and read it. Ok, I'll bold the really key parts, but still this is a window upon our brilliance.
allerielle : hey
allerielle : for a guild name
allerielle : what do you think of The Burning Hands
allerielle : kinda goes with The Black Hand
allerielle : yeah?
sisdeth13: Oh, yeah, I like that
sisdeth13: good magey name, too
sisdeth13: we could have a whole string of affiliate sub guilds
sisdeth13: omg
allerielle : yes?
sisdeth13: get someone to make a tank guild, called The Crushing Hand, or something
allerielle : hehe
sisdeth13: The Healing Hand
sisdeth13: dude
sisdeth13: this could be huge
allerielle : global even
sisdeth13: INTERPLANETARY!
allerielle : I was reading something
allerielle : and it really made me think of us
allerielle : so
allerielle : Lilija, you are a planet.
sisdeth13: oh c'mon, I lost like 40 lbs
allerielle : No silly
sisdeth13: hehe
allerielle : you are a planet
sisdeth13: I know
allerielle : and
allerielle : i'm a planet
sisdeth13: ok...
allerielle : and do you know what happens when planets collide?
sisdeth13: um, dust and gas explosions?
allerielle : they make a whole new universe
sisdeth13: baby planets?
sisdeth13: planetoids?
allerielle : baby planets
allerielle : LOL
sisdeth13: ohyeah
sisdeth13: rawwk
allerielle : you arent being very helpful to my thingy here
allerielle : so
sisdeth13: I'm sorry, I'm giggling at being a planet
allerielle : we're a whole new universe
allerielle : sorry
allerielle : i should have let yo get past that
sisdeth13: ok, we're a whole new universe, I like that, and I can see what you mean
allerielle : isnt it great?
allerielle : i'm so silly
sisdeth13: It really is
allerielle : but it totally makes sense
sisdeth13: Like, in this sense is how I get it
sisdeth13: you're your own person, with this whole evolved ecosystem, I mean shit, you were a monarch in AC. You're not some noob, hanger on, you have this whole great established thing going.
sisdeth13: Right
sisdeth13: on the boards, online, just in general
sisdeth13: and, me too. Not monarchy-standards, I guess, but I have my own brand of infamy and my own little social ecosystem, going
allerielle : yeah!
allerielle : and we have our own way of going about things
sisdeth13: yeah, I was gonna say next, that it all extends to rl even
allerielle : yep
sisdeth13: you have your whole established State of Being, like I do
sisdeth13: and, somehow, we can mix, and meld well, socially, State of Being wise, and it's this great whole thing
allerielle : YES
allerielle : you get it!
allerielle : thats
allerielle : orgasmic
sisdeth13: and, NOW, that I'm all fired up about WoW, right...we have this totally fresh place to plant the seeds of our new universe
sisdeth13: the possibilites are endless
allerielle : YES
sisdeth13: at least, online.
allerielle : its like
allerielle : lilija and ally world
sisdeth13: Seriously!
sisdeth13: Exactly!
allerielle : ahhh
allerielle : i'm so happy
allerielle : like
allerielle : this whole morning ahs been so GREAT
allerielle : i'm just so happy
sisdeth13: hehe, yeah, I gotta say today started out way better than yesterday
sisdeth13: life is good
I'm not sure why, but that all made me feel pretty good about things in general. It's just a cool feeling, I guess. Just 'getting it'. It's this whole deep understanding thing. It transcends cliques, and online-ness. It goes past basic social interaction. Seriously, it has to manifest itself online, because we live pretty far apart, but if we were neighbors, we could take over the world, I think.
Non gamers don't understand this, but a new mmo is like this wide open, freshly tilled field of possibilites. Till now, it's been Lili playing Lili's game, and Ally playing Ally's game, but now...now this is gonna be Ally and Lili's dynamic new little seedling universe, and it's gonna be huge, I think.
Even old games, like AC are ripe grounds for forging great friendships. Honestly, I can say, I've met all my best online friends outside of AC, but we got closer, gaming together. There's this relationship that develops through questing together, helping each other out, trusting each other, just doing stuff together etc, that just doesn't happen in basic chat.
But, Ally was talking planets, it goes past gaming. Ally has Ally's way of being, and she's doing well in her life, and I've got my own (I guess I'm doing well, I'm alive at least, and reasonably healthy) and we're not trying to compete or clone, or outdo each other. She's in her place, I'm in mine, we can learn a lot from each other, and share ideas happily, with no motives or strangeness. It's this total symbiosis. We have fun, joking, friendly competition, but it's healthy, not weird.
What a cool little epiphany Ally had, it really perked me up :)

I hated you even more when you started playing AC with me.
I recind my offer for yo two to come join us in EpiK. And please make sure you guys are playing on a different server while you are at it! :D
AWww, Shralpy, I hate you too. In that plutonic, e-friend kind of way.
I'm tellin ya, Tito, you don't want us, we'd wreck shop. Not content to be a part of an established thing, we want to make our own thing! But, it would be nice to be on the same server, that way we can at least hassle you, semi-regularly.
Tito just doesnt understand genius when he sees it.
Thats okay, Tito. We arent offended by your little mind. :-)
The Gleeful Expenis asked me to post, "me too" here, and since he's pregnant now I figure I shouldn't get him upset.
Me too!

Oh, it's not that I don't know genius.
I just get nervous when there is some out there that rivals mine! :D
