I randomly clicked hoping I wouldn't get the "world is full" screen again, but it was full.. drat'. I'll try one more time I thought, even though it was 3am, if I got in I'd be too tired any way so no big disappointment. Then the log in was taking a while...and yes! blackscreen I was in THERE. Suddenly I wasn't tired anymore, I was home. A few days earlier I got in for 6hrs. Basically only a certain number of ppl are being allowed in at this time, and they are being periodically booted to allow others to log in, but if your quick to relog you can STAY in for awhile. The weirdest feeling I felt tonight is the toon is you but it's not you. Most of my inventory is there and some of my look sets but basically this is a new toon that is assigned your stuff, and THERE2 is a replica of THERE. It struck me hard tonight because my new toon's name is capital ( a friend restored it for me as I was not sure if I wanted to go back in THERE and they put a capital letter) and for some reason that made me feel really upset and sad. Basically a reminder that my virtual world was torn away from me and now I have to wait in line to see the copy of it. But I have to admit- despite being a copy it's amazing.

My new old me on the walkway for the first time with my restored saved lookset, so glad I had some.

I chatted on skype to xXBlackOutXx about being in THERE and he tried to get in but it didn't work. He didn't want me to log out cuz he wanted to be with me, but he asked me to ask others to log off lol. The first time I was in I rented a house and set up Bff Club. It used to have 700 members now the new/old BFF Club has 5. It used to have an associated clubhouse but all the left-over T-bux I had only equaled enough to rent a house. And until THERE really opens you can't buy t-bux. So I settled for a house and put out  paz, with cars like a parking lot, which all disappeared by the time I logged in next. I was actually booted out before I could set up the club. But I got in two days later, did the re-logging fast trick and set it all up.

So last night I logged in, looked at my clubhouse, sat on the lounge I used to love and decided to explore. I first checked out any running events, and went to a paintball one that was unattended. Then I went to the meaning of life discussion event and...crickets'. Then I went to a game event and the host was there! He was dressed as a clown and we played a board game he designed rolling a giant die. He won, so I guess it was rigged... jk.. So now I decide to explore. CCmetro is just water  ...Egypt was there with a big pickle on the pyramid and the paz said: welcome to sandy pickle...disturbing and funny at the same time. ROFL. Duda beach is there and cosmo that is now called Phoenix park and ppl are actually hanging out. OMG avie sacrifices still works! After my fall I stand admiring the view and the amazing happens BlackOut gets in! It's like old times...except he forgot how to use the controls and he looks like a noob. But we hang out and then we are booted for maintenance...lol. That is just how it used to be and it feels great. I am finally virtually home.

FINALLY I feel virtually home!
