So, my second life and real life beloved turns thirty-something today and seeing as I produce this blog I thought I’d give him a shout out. As regular readers will know, Jez very rarely bothers with SL. He’s a WoW fiend, and spends his time in dungeons twatting goblins and other assorted creatures. It’s been suggested that Jez is actually my alt, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. When I first started out in SL, Jez and I lived over a hundred miles apart and had been conducting a long-distance relationship for a few years, and each weekend one of us would make the long journey across the M62 to visit the other. When I joined SL I encouraged (nagged) him to join so we could spend time in world together instead of just nattering on the phone. His move into SL was purely for our mutual amusement and when he moved into my home in RL a few months ago his involvement pretty much ceased. I don’t mind that really…he LOVES WoW and he’s an earnest gamer. I often sit on my laptop in SL with Jez sat on the opposite side of the table raiding dungeons galore. He doesn’t really ‘get’ SL if I’m perfectly honest, nor does he see the fun in ambling around SL like I do. I feel the same about WoW…why on earth would I want to run around casting spells, healing people and getting into all sorts of scrapes when I could be in Tesla nomming shoes, or dancing around like a loon at ‘Parkade’ or ‘The Crown and Pearl’?

However, he DID promise me last week that he would come to the Pet Shop Boys night at Parkade on Thursday ( as featured previously on this blog) so if you still question Jez’s very existence pop along and see him in all his glory! (Yes, by writing this here he has NO get out clause for not appearing, boy I’m a devious little minx sometimes!)

So a very Happy Birthday indeed my beloved. I adore you and thanks for making the last 6 years the best of my life, and if you’re a good boy I’ll make sure you get a happy finish later xxxxxx
