My Second Life Story

My House

When I decided to rent a house in Second Life what I wanted was a comfortable, fun place for friends to gather. Last night it finally happened. Here are Wayne, Movies, Amethyst, Jerry, Cyrus and me. Later Janae also joined us. We played Greedy and Wayne beat me, the first game I've lost. It was fun to introduce friends who hadn't met before. It's so cool to have a party without having to clean or fix food first!

Early Hang Out Places

One of the most fun activities in Second Life is exploring. I've found some amazing places, some with the help of a book, How to do Everything with Second Life, and some with the help of friends, who take me to their favorite places. First places...
This is ISTE. When I didn't know anyone I'd hang out here. I still spend time here and bring friends here. My goal is to fill a table some day. :-) I've come close.
This is the library Kiwi showed me. This was my first encounter with pose balls, too. You right click them and "sit" and your avatar takes on a predetermined pose. My favorite here is lying on my stomach reading a book. I used to think nothing of going into a building like this and sitting for an hour or so. Now that I've lived with the social norms of SL for a while I feel like I'm intruding in someone else's space. Too bad. I never visit this library anymore.
This is another part of ISTE. Members of ISTE have socials every Thursday night at 6 pm SLT (Second Life Time), which is 9 pm for me. Sometimes there are topics of discussion planned that have to do with educational technology. Most of the time it seems to be just dancing and chatting. This is a photo of my first dancing experience. Just like middle school, some women are dancing. The rest, and all the men, are standing around the edges of the dance floor. :-)

Second Life Course

I would love to take a class like this. http://lisadawley.googlepages.com/597SLsyllabus.htm

Clothes and Fun Adventures

Your Feminine Side

I don't know if it's my computer or lag in SL but this is your alter ego when things aren't just right in cyberworld. LOL! You look a little like a troll with breasts and daddy's shoes on.

Cyber Friends

Long talks. Sharing interests. Quick friends. Thank you for taking the time to show me things in SL. I want to learn more. I want to see more places. I want to teach more friends about SL, but of course I want them to see a useful side of it that can help with our professional growth. Right now Andie, Amethyst, and I are all having so much fun running here and there, doing things and buying free clothes! I hope you are around to help us a lot, for a long time, when we settle down. Just be sure to let us know when you are working.
