Andi, I have to admit (don’t tell Bonnie or Clyde), Bumpy is my favorite. Maybe it’s because he was my first. Or maybe it’s because he’s a lop. Whatever the reason, whenever I think about the possibility of something bad happening to him, my heart gets a little squeeze and tears will spring up in my eyes while I keep reminding myself that nothing IS wrong with him and to stop thinking bad things before something happens. I don’t get like that with the other two. They are ok… and while I know I definitely would shed a tear (or two) if one of them died… I would be a wreck if Bumpy did.
A few years back, I was chatting with some fellow gamers on our ventrilo channel and we had a guest accompany one of them into the room. I swear I had spoken maybe 30 seconds before she says, “manic? Are you from Richmond?” I thought I was trippin! She currently was living in California, but she was from Richmond and had picked up on one of the words I used and how the accent sounded with it. I’ll have to say that my “accent” has definitely picked up that slow southern drawl over the last 20 yrs of being married to my husband. When I was a teen, I was asked many times if I was from New York, Philly, or Jersey, but perhaps I was just manic and speaking really fast… hmmm
OOoOOo conference calls, skype anyone? That’s free PC to PC! I’ve used it many times gaming!
