It is noon here because that's what I have decided, and the view is anything I want it to be. I'm looking out of the window but I am not sure which window it is nor what it looks like nor, for that matter, what ~I~ look like. I was female yesterday but today I'm in a different mood. Who knows what I am as I float adrift in the endlessly shifting landscapes of a thousand virtual imaginations? And that is what I see at noon from my virtual window here inside LambdaMOO. Ab~straction, dis~traction, and a glorious multiplicity.
