Jon Quixote was There.

That's me going nuts in the skies over Motu Motu. >:) Click to enlarge. I went skydiving for the first time since being back today. I had almost forgotten how much fun it was! I also held my first event since being back. I coordinated a freestyle boarding event over at Rainforest Plateau with Greeter_Ice (a.k.a. icedoll). She just kept feeding me newbies who wanted to learn how to fly in style. By the end of the event 19 people had shown up! I'd say it was a success! I will definitely be doing that more often.

In other news, mad cow disease hits There. A particularly nasty strain of the disease has mutated into what scientists have dubbed "Bordemvine Spongy-tummy Encel-apathy". Just the other day it drove some to harass the locals at Paiz. Witnesses report three oversized avies crowding and frightening anything wearing an orange shirt, and some things not. One crazed avie was heard screaming "boogabaloo" as he ran in and out of a conversation group. Inquiries are being made as to the word's meaning. Luckily, staff member Greeter_Ice was on the scene and put a stop to the nonsense before it could spread. My sources assure me the virus is not airborne, but the three affected avies are being held in quarantine pending what may be extensive surgery to cure them of this disease. The lead physician of the team currently working on the avies was asked what, in particular, about the disease drove them to attack newbies. He responded: "It's psychosomatic. They'll need a lobotomy. I'll get a saw." Physicians claim repeated segmentation violations were the cause of the disease and advise all avies to remain indoors until further notice. Avies that must go outdoors are advised to avoid coordinates X=-3223, Y=2608. Apparently, the three avies in question visited this spot frequently during late hours of the night. Further investigations are currently under way.

Just this past Monday, I returned from what was nearly a three month long break from the There universe. I'm excited about some of the new bug fixes and features and, I must say, it's good to be back in town. Voice is finally compatible (and bug free) with 5.1 surround sound! Yay!! No more reversed channels!

I've hooked up with my old buddies, MustangGirl, MissyJean, and later Buff_God, Z, and icedoll (who kindly reset my forgotten password so I could login to the Therian member-to-member live help system). I Still have some more hellos to make... all in due time. I also caught up with Justin500, a.k.a. laver(insert number here). He had been living off the free trial for over a year and finally got a membership on his original avatar which was created in April, 2004! That's a long time to be living off trial avies!!

The creation of this Blog is, in a way, to commemorate my recent return to There and to document all that's gone by in past months. Everything you see before (below) this entry is a summary of my avatar's 9 month long lifespan. Everything you'll see after (above) this entry is posted as it happens, or shortly thereafter. The chronicle of a day in the life of a Therian avatar.
