Second Life.So Let's start back in the Beginning....
I first found out about second life on the 19th of August. There was a full page article in the Saturday AGE newspaper, entitled "My virtual chance at a second life" written by a Chris Johnston, second life name is Balfour MacAlpine. The article caught my eye, at first seeing the large photo on Anshe Chungs Avatar, I thought the article was about my beloved game The Sims 2. But as I started to read it I fell in love with the idea of Second Life.Unfortunately at the time I had just moved out of my apartment and my computer was packed up in storage.I had to wait 3 days till I could be born in to my second life. And so one the 22nd of August (Australian time) my Avatar was born.
This is my first photo I took in Second Life.
The first days were the hardest in Second life, I was broke and I was suffering so much lag, it was driving me crazy. Eventually I found my feet with the help of so many freebies and money tree locations.Most of my time in those early days were spent on the big island, watching the sun set.
While waiting for my free newbie hair from Gurl 6, I would pay around with my avatars looks and clothes. Clothes which I got free from many different newbie packs.
One of the best places I went to as a newbie was The Shelter. Although the lag was annoying because of the number of people going there. The Shelter was so welcoming and friendly and had some great freebies and info for me.
Finally my new hair arrived, I loved this hair! Also love my new skin I found for free, unfortunately I didn't like the fact that the bra and under pants were drawn on the skin. Also I wish the lip stick was a bit more lighter.
The New Jaz
After trying 101 different skins, some good, some better then good and some just disgusting. I finally came across this skin. I liked it and decided it would be good to show my dark side. This is the moment I think I really started to get in to second life
At this point a lot of what I was doing was trying to make L$, and would dance the night away on these dance pads.
When I wasn't dancing, I was exploring, I had a lot more pics of places I had been but I lost them.
I meet lots of nice helpful people but none more nice then Aceblade Boivin (sorry no pic). I met Aceblade I think while I was dancing. Anyway he took me to some interesting place and bought me this bikini so I could enjoy siggy's waterworks island. He even showed me this cool house he was making.Unfortunately my computer crashed and it was nearly a month before I got it back. And I never sore him online again.
