expansion and launched GMOA on the Move, a state- and nationwide initiative of offsite programs and exhibitions. Due to construction, the museum offices are currently located in the former visual arts building on Jackson Street on UGA's North Campus. Although the galleries and shop are temporarily closed, special calendar events are still open to the public, and gift items are available from our new &lt;a href="https://estore.uga.edu/C21653_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=57"&gt;Web shop&lt;/a&gt;. Please visit the museum's virtual galleries in &lt;a href="http://www.uga.edu/gamuseum/new_media/index.html"&gt;Second Life&lt;/a&gt; and view the &lt;a href="http://www.uga.edu/gamuseum/calendar/index.html"&gt;calendar&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;TIGGS and I were such an unlikely pair.  We got off with such a rocky start, I didn't like her at all, I thought she was so......well, not worth mentioning.  Once I really got to know her I saw that even though we were polar opposites in many ways, we were also very much alike and so became fast friends.  She gave me much support in many ways and I will always appreciate this.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was sorry to see her sim go.  I loved visiting her there and spent many hours exploring or just sitting.  It was always so much fun popping in on her and playing pranks on her.  My favorite thing to do was to have her tp me and showing up naked.  We would always be in voice and she would laugh and say "Astrid you are naked."  Of course I would argue that I was fully clothed on my screen with her insisting that I was naked on her's, even providing the supporting evidence of a snapshot.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I eagerly await her return to SL.  She is sorely missed.  And I love her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/704518463270260634-8390944796802674711?l=astridzhang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://astridzhang.blogspot.com/feeds/8390944796802674711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=704518463270260634&amp;postID=8390944796802674711' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/704518463270260634/posts/default/8390944796802674711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/704518463270260634/posts/default/8390944796802674711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://astridzhang.blogspot.com/2010/01/tiggs.html' title='TIGGS'/><author><name>Astrid Zhangsun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10118456099266169487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h-jFfFKfhv0/SUzQ0hMCyUI/AAAAAAAAABA/cP2lTAiL9dE/S220/astridlook1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h-jFfFKfhv0/S0DsoHArGVI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/0xXRg2aNMQg/s72-c/TIGGS.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704518463270260634.post-6832352924557881582</id><published>2009-12-31T21:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-31T21:55:32.833-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy New Year!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h-jFfFKfhv0/Sz2N4TJqgkI/AAAAAAAAA1I/ZeZwZCCFgKE/s1600-h/NewYear.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 293px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421645524776944194" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h-jFfFKfhv0/Sz2N4TJqgkI/AAAAAAAAA1I/ZeZwZCCFgKE/s400/NewYear.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And so the sun rises on the first day of the new year.

I'm not going to say who made it because it's a really good maker......but this particular one that I got is just so NOT ME.......I call it 'Girl On Quaaludes' because when I'm standing still it has me walking around in circles and playing with imaginary flying things....kind of like a kid poking at dust floating in sunbeams.......
