I DO! I DO ELECTRONIC WEDDINGS! BUT NOT CYBERRAPE BY EVIL CLOWNS!

i Do Electronic Weddings! But Not CyberRape


Is your wedding so complicated that you need a database? Well, if you can't afford a Wedding Planner then how about trying iDo: Wedding Couple Edition software?

I was thinking...why go to your own wedding? just login, register for the license, and IM a kiss to your beloved!

It's probably happening as I write on Second Life; amusing as I find it all, I just can't stand the idea of two Avatars wedding on-line. Too late of course, I remember way back when there were MUD's (Multi-user Dungeons). More than one wedding happened in those worlds (and one Rape if you can believe it!).

Read the chapter called "A Rape In CyberSpace: How an Evil Clown, A Haitian Spirit Trickster, Two Wizards and a Cast of Dozens Turned a Database into a Society" in a fascinating book called Internet Dreams: Archetypes, Myths, and Metaphors.

THE TWO LITTLE BEARS

Symbolic Bears

On our first date Mr. Ex bought me a stuffed bear adorned with little peace signs. The peace bear sat on my dresser for the whole year we dated. But then...the break-up. The BEAR HAD TO GO. So the bear, the cd with "our song", the trinkets and birthday gifts, all went into a bag in the back of the closet. I purged every reminder of Mr. Ex.

Many weeks later I needed that bag for a trip and dumped out the stuffed bear that "he" bought me, and also a stuffed cow that I had bought for myself. I loved that cow and I'm not sure why I put him in the closet. The two bears fell from the bag onto my nightstand (my bear and "his" bear). I swear I did NOT pose these bears! This is how they fell:

Mr. Cow really put the dumb peace bear in his place!



Gotta love synchronicity.

Signing off,
