Seems Second Life (SL) is doing the funky chicken on me tonight. *sigh* Oh well … I’m not feeling terribly focussed at the moment, so maybe it’s meant to be. It is the weirdest damn thing going on though – seems when I log on, none of my attachments rezz – hair, jewellry… all that kewl stuff. After reading the forums, I think this is not something that is just happening to me, but is apparently not something worthy of Linden Labs making any kind of note of. Supposedly it is just happening in specific Sims. Hell, I hope it’s only certain sims because I refuse to walk around bald and stuff… ugh!
So what to blog about? Well, I’m feeling a little blue and under the weather today which has sent me to the CD collection in an effort to try to relax. While listening, I found a song which brought a lot of memories back for me. The song is a special one. About 2 years ago my husband became very ill and needed to have a bone marrow transplant which meant he was away from home for four months. It was a scary time for both of us, and we both were incredibly lonely . . . and then . . . I found this song and sent it to him. There were many nights when it brought comfort to both him and I.

Inside my skin there is this space
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches
Inside my heart there’s an empty room
It’s waiting for lightning
It’s waiting for you
And I am wanting
And I am needing you here
Inside the absence of fear
Muscle and sinew
Velvet and stone
This vessel is haunted
It creaks and moans
My bones call to you
In their separate skin
I make myself translucent
To let you in, for
I am wanting
And I am needing of you here
Inside the absence of fear
there is this hunger
This restlessness inside of me
and it knows that you’re no stranger
you’re my gravity
My hands will adore you through all darkness aim
They will lay you out in moonlight
And reinvent your name
For I am wanting you
And I am needing you here
I need you near
Inside the absence of fear
PS. To all those people who thought about joining a bone marrow registry and never have . . . it’s worth it. Some kind soul saved my husband’s life. 
Catch ya on the flip side!
