... if anyone I don't know recognizes me inworld. It hasn't happened all that often - SL is a big place. But occasionally people have heard my name, particularly in the financial world, I guess.

I was looking through old pics the other day (all named Snapshot, of course!), and I have a bunch from about day 3 in SL, taken at the Angry Ant, which Sarah Nerd ran. I met her a couple of times back then, and I was a bit starstruck - like you say Konner, the room just turned to face her when she popped in, and wanted to be noticed. [EDIT: that was a dangling participle. meaning that the people in the room wanted to be noticed by her...]

Since then, I guess I have met a few well known residents, a bunch of Lindens, designers, land barons, financial bigwigs. some wore it well, others were a bit arrogant about it, which is a real turn off.

What I have never been able to figure is the self-proclaimed celebrities - that state in their profile that they won the 2007 Miss SLut contest and work as a supermodel. And then usually proceed to say that they don't answer IM's. Ermmm. Yeah. ok.

I am a practical person - I figure if I get my name out there some, I am more likely to keep my sims full. It's good motivation to keep on the straight and narrow too - in the land biz, reputation is important.

Anyway - I'll stop now. Don't want to hijack the thread.
