Thanks to everyone who has wished me a happy rezday both on the comments here and directly. I have to start this by sharing something that Rainbow Drake sent to me last night. Go ahead and take a look at this and tell me it's not awesome and hilarious. Thanks Rainbow!

Anyway, I started thinking about the things that have happened since I arrived in Second Life. I remember being frustrated early on that I couldn't find purple clothes to wear. My first "regular" outfit was pink *shudder*. I'll save you the boredom of reading through bio of my second life, but I have made one connection. When I arrived, the world was lacking of purple. Sure there were pockets of purple around, but nowhere near what it should be.
Tateru is all about numbers, so listen to this. Before Purple, it took Second Life two and a half years to reach 100,000 residents. I remember they were still celebrating having 100,000 people when I arrived. After Purple, they've gone from 100,000 to 3,000,000 residents in a year. You do the math.
