anticipated return
there are a number of reasons i have not posted, but mainly the computer problem alluded to in an earlier post has not been remedied, and thus i have not had the luxury of sitting in my room and writing about things.
BUT
tonight is different since i had to create my very own Second Life account. I am taking a class on Shakespeare in film, and one thing my professor is interested in is virtual representations of Shakespeare, so i had to make a second life account, and this weekend i am going to virtually attend a virtual play at a virtual theater.
second life is pretty creepy- i wanted to make my character really funny looking (with purple skin and giant feet or something), but its actually a lot harder to use than i thought, and i got pretty frustrated with the “appearance tweaking” in the game. namely, i could not get rid of the brown hair that my character has, so instead i had to have white hair protrude out of it. Yeah second life, REAL REALISTIC, TWO HAIR-DOS AT ONCE.
I wouldn’t reccomend second life to anyone though. Immediately after joining the server, i had two dudes walk up to me and ask “HEY GIRL U WANNA CYBER?”. Pigs! I promptly flew away (you can fly in second life duh) out over the ocean, where i stopped flying in hopes of seeing my character flounder in the water. But no! I sank straight to the bottom where apparently you can walk across the barren ocean floor forever. I wonder if anyone does this!?
Also, the other weird thing about the game is that its pretend life on the internet.
