[7:08] Lotus Ceriano: oh yes and you haven't commented on my blog you have to do that too[7:08] Lotus Ceriano: seeing as you get mentioned more than once
[7:08] Nelly Swindlehurst: haven't commented....but i have read it!
[7:08] Nelly Swindlehurst: I'll get to work on that too
[7:08] Lotus Ceriano: what do you think, you can be honest!
[7:08] Nelly Swindlehurst: I enjoy it... I think its good
[7:09] Nelly Swindlehurst: I'm always tempted to correct your typoes though :)
[7:22] Lotus Ceriano: i could blog about you but who would be interested?
[7:33] Nelly Swindlehurst: and i bet a blog about me would get you more comments than usual :p
Sooner or later I was going to have to blog about Nelly, and I'm sure many of my readers know her well. Like so many of my friends I met her at Sharon's Diner. She was telling everyone what a great place Canada is, and if she's dropped that subject ever I missed it. If I had not met Nelly my Second Life would have been so much duller. We're both Triviators at Buccaneer Bowl, and I hosted with her for a wonderful five months at Lilly's.
Nelly had hosted before, and she held my hand when I took my first faltering steps as a trivia host in January this year. And we are, I'm sure you'll agree, such different people. She's witty and sharp where I am not, and has an amazing talent of writing questions for events just before and event during it. She picks up my typos, and lets me get away with nothing. Her questions are about all sorts of stuff like Johnny Depp and the Simpsons that I know nothing about. And ... it was great! I loved it!
Krogare, Traian and Rain enjoying a chat because Cully and Angelo advertised their Melodi event wrong! It's a nice event when it does happen.
Because of RL issues Nelly has not been hosting recently. She's still on SL sometimes, and she is still a Lilly's host. So I'm hoping we'll see Nelly back to hosting sometime. And she will never admit it, but she is even better with Lotus.
And so your 50L question. First to answer in comments gets paid in world.
In which sport is play divided into chukkas?
Polo!
ReplyDeleteWTG Cully! 50L coming your way!
ReplyDeleteMy guess would have been cricket, although I realize I am wrong and late :) // Krogare
ReplyDeleteI gotta say I think this is your best blog yet.... Keep up the good work Lotus!
ReplyDeleteLol I just realised what the photo was! Blame the DJ! And thanks to you, Rain, Trai and Kro for being so keen you turned up 9 hours early;)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks - it's fun to host too:)
Hi Anonymous, I don't know who you might be, but sadly no-one at all has commented about Nelly, just like I said in the post.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so nice to see her at some events as a player, maybe people will remember her better then?
[13:33] Lotus Ceriano: actually for some reason trivia hosts here don't bicker anymore
ReplyDeleteIs this where we are supposed to comment on Nelly? I have to say I was always impressed by her ability to come up with so many questions about Johnny Depp without any of them touching on his crippling addiction to amputee snuff porn, or his frequent trips to the Arctic to club baby seals and crippled Eskimo children for sport.
ReplyDeleteWild fires in West Canada this weekend and Nelly sits there looking as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth :)
