My BIL and I

Andrey´s comment when he saw me was, "Well I am happy we do not have smell in SL yet!"

When I logged into my alternate life yesterday I was still in my goldfish outfit from the previous evening. Before I had time to rez properly and even start to think about changing to something more comfortable I had my Brazilian brother in-law (BIL) screaming out his undying love for me in instant message.

I of course responded in the same fashion, I always do. Andrey is a warm and caring man with a heart of the purest gold, not to mention a real Brazilian hunk who has heads spinning all over SecondLife whenever he shows up.

As we hadn't met for a little while I teleported him over for a hug and a little heart-to-heart talk so we could get updated. We talked about life, love and Russian hurricanes and everything in between. I always enjoy being with Andrey.

We have been so close and share so many memories together - about Ars and our whole SecondLife existence - that even if we haven't seen each other for a little while we immediately reconnect on the deepest level.

Thinking about our talk yesterday I was reminded of this American saying that I stumbled across somewhere a long time ago; If life hands you lemons, throw them back and yell “I WANTED CHOCOLATE!”.
