Thanx SO much for all the nice comments! (And to the not-so-nice one, what's *important* is that *you watched my video*, so thanks for your time.) I LOVE CUTENESS.

@Renji: Hope to see ya at my office hours!

@Sheila: And now, they're 2 of my faves too! What other movies would you recommend?

@Dizzy: Yes, it was a literal trip to visit DynaFleur! Especially as Totorleyo.

@Menno: My bro says Grave of the Fireflies is like, sooo depressing, but worthwhile… apparently there was a live-action version some years ago?

@Iris: *makes a note to heck out that robot* Sounds like it'll keep any intruders who try to steal my crops away! =)

Before I go further tho, I should mention I'm not wearing Aestival Cohen's Totoro-esque av… I *have* hers but it's non-mod, so I actually have a couple others. The one I've got on is by Taketch Oyen. I'm looking forward to seeing my wife inworld with hers, which she added a cute pink bow to…

@Princess Ivory: What a great story! Awww. I hope to see the rare movie "Mei and the Kittenbus" someday, apparently it only got limited showings but from stills I've seen, it looks adorable! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mei_and_the_Kittenbus To paraphrase a friend of mine: "Smaller than a catbus? I'd call that a taxi!" Happy I could uplift your Monday too.

@Eleonora: OH MY GOSH! Thanx and keep up the colorful creations! And yes, I made several video tutorials already with the Totoro avatar you put together… one of them is here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RZgz1KNQKMc Thankya!

@Nimue: Understood! Thanks for the encouragement!

@Smiley: Thoughtful comment! There's nothing wrong, and everything right about positive enthusiasm that rekindles fresh memories of being childlike (see: Anton Ego at the end of Ratatouille). All too often in this world, it's easy to forget the Good, Pure, and True, and those are things that can be enjoyed by the young, old, and in-the-middle too. Humor goes a long way in life's travels.

@Therese: Hahaha, I'll stay outta the controversy and keep making videos. Thanx for letting me know how you feel! =^_~=

I love the Totoro film too … thanks, this was lovely. As for drknowledge, well, it's a shame he didn't spot the details that tells how much effort you've put into making the video. And what he means by saying a kindergarten image will attract newbies looking for sex is way beyond my knowledge.

Wow, Smiley, your comment (and rebutal) made me smile! (ironic, isn't it)
Comments like dr.knowledge's (he really seems to know a lot…..NOT!) in a sea of sunshine is like a depressing, heavy dent in the fabric of space. I feel very sorry for him/her.

@"drknowledge": I don't mean to sound like a high-school girl, but OH NO YOU DIDN'T! Once you enter Torley's website, you need to know (1) everything here may be "childish", only we call it oldschool fun, and one way to make us laugh and have fun while browsing the web, and (2) Second Life is sometimes supposed to be "like kindergarten", or in other words, be "silly-ish-ly" fun. I mean, a few laughs about "Oh look, my shoe's stuck in my crotch!" doesn't make a person stupid, he just knows how to laugh at the unfortunate bugs we encounter, and that's a good feature. Knowing to find the fun part of things is a gift, and is what makes our society mixed and not all serious. I don't "ban" you with this speech from making your opinion visible to the entire world, but please, even if you're writing a very, very bad comment, try and find one thing good, to keep the creator/owner/writer from being insulted. You'll be surprised at what one bad comment can do to a person.

Wow, that talkback-comment is one big comment, and I feel like an adult writing it . (I'm 14 and from Israel, if you don't know)
