I have always detested the *click* *click* *click* sound of some high heels and would secretly curse the women stomping around Second Life while spreading such noise pollution.
That was until today. There I was, innocently waiting for the Lucky Santa at a silk shop to change to a letter 'T', when I discovered a brand new annoyance. You have not lived until you have stood next to a girl from Gor whose every move elicits the sounds of chains shaking. For Pete's sake - she didn't even have any chains on - she just made the stoopid sound.
I never imagined that I would welcome the sound of clicking heels.
But it made me think, too. What are the lesser of evils in Second Life? Are giant face lights a worse offense than bling? Do I roll my eyes more when someone has a ridiculous AO or when they tp into the room in a cloud of hearts and other poofy things? Does a person talking about herself in the third person more off-putting than someone typing in text speak? What is funnier on an avatar: a watermelon ass; a teeny, tiny head; or arms that are too short? (BTW, the correct answer to that is 'tiny head'.)
Ah....we SLive in a wonderous place and it is such a luxury to have the kind of annoyances we have in order to live here. So, shake your chains, slave girl - I'm gonna go turn up my face light.
