BooBoo's Diary

Two days into the new tale and I have decided to begin my diary again. I am pleased that so many of my old friends are in Egypt and hope to make new ones as the tale moves forward. And so we begin...

December 18, 2008 I woke up in Nomads Paradise and creeped towards Heavens Gate. In the Nomads chat Terrence89027 and Aziza gave a big hello and Zerda said he heard of strange happenings in Heavens Gate. I approached cautiously.

Heavens Gate - I immediately saw AbesGhost, ran over to him and he was either a ghost or AFK. He was standing near a small lake and it was a bit eerie. With apprehension I gave a big hello in the chat and was happy as anything to have it returned by RoyCallahan and Jeassi. I took notes as they told me of their love for the area. It was quite beautiful as I traveled around and noticed lovely flora all around. I was alarmed to see my main chat highlight. AbesGhost chatted me that he was afk because his home from Tale 2 was destroyed when he went there. I felt terrible and made a note to check on him in the future as well as visit Roy and Jeassi who wiped away my original scary feeling.

December 17, 2008 Khmun - I shouted out a big hello and wow, everyone was so friendly. A BIG thank you to Zowch, Signamati, Newguybc, Gabrielnight, and Ukla, for making my traveling through Khmun so enjoyable. I came across lovely flora as Zowch suggested I would and had a memorable trip meeting the residents of this lovely region. Nomads' Paradise My big hello was responded to by Krakos, Serenthiel, and Zerda, I would like to thank them for their warm welcome. I passed a big Dig that had just begun and was warmed by the huge turnout and effort to support the Dig that was announced on the main chat. My friend from T3, MouseD was kind enough to hear me gab while i trekked along towards Heavens Gate. I have an eerie feeling that this is a very solitary area. In preparation for my next days journey, I left an update on my travels to my friend Kelly from Saq and found a sweet rock to rest my weary feet. My sandals are holding up to my surprise.

December 16, 2008 Tonight I am traveling in the desert north on the western side of Egypt. I am silent in chat as these are very peaceful moments when there are no cicada sounds or names upon the horizon. I planned on traveling north in the desert up to the tip of Meroe on the border and find a soft sandy spot to sleep for the evening. But, I started reading the chat on ENN about the meet. I stopped running and read at all the people of Egypt chatting about meeting one another in Pittsburgh and wondered if I would ever meet anyone while on my lonely trek to the four corners of Egypt. I admit I checked out prices from NYC to PA and knew that no one would know the solitary BooBoo running around the corners of the earth. So I begin my sleep right before I step into Khmun tomorrow evening and ponder this.

December 15, 2008 Tonight I am leaving my little abode in Saqqarah (Saq) or the former Karnak which I like to call it. The chat channel in Saq has been very friendly and there has not been any drama which I am extremely happy about. Everyone has been cheerful and helpful. I have begun my first part of my journey around Egypt. I hope to hit all four corners of the land before I head back to Saq. Meroe - Everyone was very busy, as evidenced in chat, on diligently working on establishing techs in Meroe. My dear friend Korrin who has built a lovely crib in Meroe saved me from loneliness as I traveled down the roads. A kind gentleman, Challen, signed my initiation petition, my first signature, and was extremely polite. A short while after Korrin made note in regional chat that she was running through Meroe nekked, I moved on towards Queens Retreat.

Queens Retreat – Niankanet signed my petition and unfortunately I was afk at the moment, so a big yell out and thank you to her. Hans who had a trial account tried to sign it but wasn’t able to, hopefully Hans will join up and become a member of our wonderful land. I commented in the chat that I also lived in Queens, but Queens, NY and was thrilled that dusksgirl chatted me back that she is also a Queens resident and lives in her other life not too far from my mother. We gabbed for a bit as I made my way south and the ends of the earth. From there I moved westward to the very tip of the map. I received a chat from Selune, whom I had just met the other day in Saq; she wanted to tell me she had relocated to Meroe. It was such a kind message and I’m sure we will keep in touch. On my way to the corner of the Queens Retreat I picked up a few medium stones which are very nice. At the end of the evening’s trip I took this picture. It was a wonderful first night of traveling. I look forward to tomorrow evening.
