Looking for family/friends

[LeriaDraven]

Hi everyone! I'm rather shy in Sl (even my profile says I'm afraid to say Hi and bother people!!) so making new friends is a bit hard for me. I would love to have people to hang out with and explore sims, do photography, etc. I also love to decorate! I'm on mainly in the evenings on SL. My life can be hectic sometimes but I don't mind contact off world via skype, email, etc. 

As for family, I do have my partner's last name (he's currently taking a break from SL for a bit to deal with RL) and therefore I don't want to change it. I would not ask you to change yours to ours as well unless you want to. I have my own home which has something for everyone from a gaming room to even a spot for mermaids! My inworld name is leriadraven resident so don't be afraid to send me an IM. 

Also, to see how quirky I can be (I am a hufflepuff after all!) here's my flickr https://www.flickr.com/people/rundowntruck/ hopefully that'll also give you some insight into what type of person I am. 

Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a great day!

I totally get the whole "afraid to say 'hi' and maybe bother someone" thing, that is so me in RL, But I have learned to take the attitude in SL, that if people don't want to get random IMs, then they shouldn't have logged on. When I get a chance I'll send you one,and maybe put on my tail and checkout your mermaid spot, and try to sell you a painting for your home.

Or they may be should put up the do not disturb. I'm trying to be more outgoing. Keyword trying. I think I'm doing better. Baby steps!

Hi there! *waves* I am the same way as you...I've been here over a year and haven't made any real friends. It can be difficult as it feels like, at times, people aren't really interested in making new friends. When you go to a club and everyone is silent and not really replying to your quips and comments in local, it can be a disheartening experience.

That being said, I'm always open to IMs and friends! I'm not looking for an SL "family" as I like to go my own speed, though.

PS your flickr is cool ! I've considered doing my own...but my photography skills are somewhat lacking, lol.
