Plurk Perverts = Plerverts?

The internet is for lovers!

I am playing this little game with a social networking site called Plurk.

If you are not familiar with it, it is a micro-blogging web site that lets you put up messages throughout the day about what you are doing, random thoughts, etc. It allows you to tell you friends everything from what you are eating for lunch to when you need to pee (I wish I was kidding.) in real time.

It is actually a fun way of communicating with your SL friends and meeting Second Lifers that you might not have met in-world.

So, anyhoo, a unique feature of Plurk is that you earn “Karma points” for your activity on the site. For example, you get points for posting, for commenting on other’s posts, for adding information to your profile, etc. As you earn points you get perks, like extra emoticons to use. The “goal” is to hit Nirvana – 81 points…at which point I have no idea what happens. I don’t even think you get more emoticons.

One of the milestones is getting 69 karma points because deep inside we are all just a bunch of 12 year-olds.

But I must only be 11 1/2, because I thought of a way to spice up Plurk. The pre-adolescent inside of my brain only cares about the dirty jokes - not Nirvana. So I am trying my best to hover at 69 karma points until my husband builds up enough that we are both in the 69’s together!

Isn’t that romantic?? OK maybe not. Maybe it is just juvenile…but it is fun. I make sure not too Plurk too much or Plurk too little. I watch my karma carefully – trying to stay in the sweet spot of 69, while I wait for my husband.

And when he gets here, I have no idea how we’ll celebrate [looks away innocently]. :-P
