Meeper and Sevenn were two members of this site I really wanted to meet. Meeper for the spunky, caring, funny humor you read in her words. She has always been there with a kind word to cheer you up, her smile when my name appears in her cam window with the “Rattttt!” just made you feel like a long lost friend found. And her love of pets, care given to mate.
Sevenn… well, and Meeper and I talked about this. Sevenn always kind of scared me. Lol When I would see the icon on my ‘last ten’ I kind of cringed, thinking I did something wrong. As an active Regent, I just felt he was a strong, ruling kind of person. Meeper would tell me I was being silly, Sevenn liked me. But Sevenn also always came across as a person you really want to know. Intelligence is a powerful draw for me, I like being around folks who have lived an interesting life, who comes from those events in life, who they have become who they are. Sevenn always kind of hit me as a person who you would just want to sit, talk to, listen.
So time went by and it was a holiday weekend that Sevenn called me himself. He wanted to tell me how much he liked my photos, had been in an airport and the art gallery artwork didn’t hold a candle to mine. He wanted to pay me for my images, get me to sign them, hand them on his walls. I will not take any money, downloaded them for him to get as he wished.
His words encouraged me and made me less afraid of him. I took his praise and said “You know what… they are good. Not everyone’s taste but hey- who would want to be? A few first places in photos contest, comments made to me by the judges, made me understand I ain’t the worst person with a camera.
He also suspended a member who was spamming members with PM asking for ‘sex talk’. I made fun of the member message in my journal as others had, and he suspended it with the words along the line of “We don’t need that kind of crap on the site.” He will not remember that, but I did. It seemed fitting he would protect, care for members here.
So a trip was made to meet these two when they were in the area, tight hugs given, laughter, and joy. I got over my fear of Sevenn when the tight hug was given to me by him within a few seconds of him getting out of the car.. Oh- he is still a powerful, interesting person but now I am not afraid to be “me” about him.
And Meeper? Lol She is a little TNT in a package, she smiles, laughs, and not afraid to have her say. I like that in a woman, she is the perfect match for Sevenn. She is the kind that sits and reads folks. She had a read on us within a few minutes I swear, then I felt like she fit right in. I guess it was Cat’s cussing that got the ice broken. She got us with all barrels and stood her own, not a easy thing to do for most. And she can give a “tone” with the best. Lol
As we three sat in the tight backseat of my little car, two best friends in the world Cat and Birdy in the front seat, I took a second to look around the car. Meeper in all her lovely bundle of energy beside me, with the fun loving Sevenn beside her, the car filled with our voices as we sang Christmas carols, pointing out the lights we loved as we drove thru the underground tunnel Christmas light show. I could of said “Wow- we have two master vampires, a ex master, and an ex Regent” but didn’t. VR brought us together, I give it credit for many of the great folks I have meet off here. But in my mind I was thinking “Look- more friends to have, more folks I can be happy around, or sad. They accept and ..well.. who can’t fall in love with these two who sing with you only a few hours after meeting you in person.” But that is it- Meeper has never felt like a stranger to me, and now Sevenn doesn’t either.
More friends VR has lead me to in my life.
