Second Life

It's basically an alternative world, but it's not a game. You just go in and do what you want: build stuff, meet people, learn things, dress up ... experience another world that members continue to create everyday.

Dav helped set me up and then had to leave for biz to NC. Last night, I poked around by myself a bit and worked on my character to look more like me. Interestingly, although I could look like anyone I want, I prefer to try and resemble myself. Otherwise I'd somehow feel fake. I just want to be me and not some character.

Then, in anticipation of meeting online with Dav, I decided to go shopping at the mall for some cool clothes. When you join, you get some spending money and of course the first thing I want to do is go shopping! I'll spare you the difficulties I had in learning how to move and find stuff, but I finally got a pair of jeans. However, I didn't know how to take off my shorts so I ended up wearing the jeans AND my shorts on top. What a dork!

Next I found the cutest bunny slippers and couldn't resist so I purchased them too. But before I knew what button I pressed, I found the bunny slippers in a box on my head like a helmet. Dork x 2!! I left for the night in frustration.

Tonight, I met up with Dav. He's the guy wearing black in the first pic. We're hanging out on some land he just bought where we wanna build a nice little house. He already learned how to make a table (that huge black table in the pic) Anyway, I don't know how, but I got my shorts to disappear, yet still had my bunny slipper problem (you can see what I looked like in the first pic). Luckily a kind neighbor walked by and explained how to get them on my feet. How lovely.

In celebration, Dav and I went dancing in a pretty hip club, a sorta online date. I wore a t-shirt Dav made and although it's hard to see against the black floor, I'm wearing my bunny slippers. The club was so hip that it gave us dance moves and boy, we were good!

Looking forward to more adventures. I hope to eventually moblog from this world directly to kokochi. Now *that* would be really cool.
