"MY" LIvely - Part VII

From Laura: Cafè Concierto and the Journey I didn't have any pictures of his rooms, so I asked Solum. He not only sent pics, but also shared some memories... So this is gonna be a very special part of my blog! ...And i have a scoop too....he has shared his most private pics... nobody has ever seen him like this - his very last incarnation on Lively: Manuel/Solum can be somewhat linked with both the beginning and the end of my Lively experience. It was one of my very first days on Lively when I discovered "Cafè Concierto", a wonderful theatre where you could listen to good music. I was trying to learn Spanish at the time (which i never did btw) so I think it was the Spanish name which attracted me to the room. There i found this bald avatar who was very nice. I tried to communicate in my (VERY) broken Spanish, but it took very little to find out - to my relief - that he spoke perfect English... Much later on, one evening I saw that Manuel (who I hadn't met in a while) was in a room called "the Journey - how far can you go?" and went in to say hi. There I met Solum Deus, his cute, playful, most imaginative alter ego, who was experimenting with the lively "void". And creating a most extraordinary room. Manuel says: "there was a special star at the very VERY TOP of The Journey...it was called The Rofl Star...everybody should rofl up there...it was a ritual started by Kosmik, Shiakara, Imajika and others...." About the Journey, he also would like to share a memory that is very dear to him... a message that Izzie left him... "I was out feeding my horses last night and saw the night sky black and the stars shining upon me brightly. Oh, how I wanted to "jump" up to them and look down at the still and silent earth. Lively has given us a little dream, and thank you, Solum, for taking the time to put this room together and share it with all. For quite some time I thought I had reached the top but realized there should be something more than just a star to twirl upon. So I searched with great care and kept on my journey, pressing on towards the goal. Here you have waiting a cozy fire by the cold bench, but trees to block the north wind. I shall rest awhile, then go back to reality, but, thanks again for the dream :)) p.s. my wish: For Solum to never stop creating ;) I am laughing, and I am free!!!" Manuel is one of the funniest people I've ever met - he has a wonderful sense of humour - I still laugh each time I see his comments on my cat pictures! He is also very kind - and it is thanks to his kindness that I have a video of my lively room, which he volunteered to shoot in December. We miss you Solum! laura
