Who are you? We want to know

I tend to be a robot, working on a program to extend the human experience on earth, but I malfunctioned.

Boy oh boy I was always wondering how to talk about myself but here goes nothing and praying I don't fall flat on my face, but I happened to come to Second Life when I was playing another virtual reality game called There.com. Someone there mentioned Second Life and I had to try it out and it was in the early year of 2005, Babyangel Surtees was my first avi, I wondered around the grid lost and confused and eventually abandoned Second Life till I came back in middle of 2006 and have been hoping around the grid since then. Quite haven't found my place in Second Life and wonder what keeps me coming back.

My real life job keeps me secluded as I travel quite a bit and only see people when I am outside my vehicle. So I guess this really is the only true way I can reach out and have some sort of normal social life even though the joys and heartaches seem to hit harder than in real life, but one day I hope to find myself amongst family in SL, until then I'll keep giving the grid he double hockeysticks. So before anyone asks what my real life job is I am a relocation specialist and maintain weird hours of work.

Here's a picture from my office!

Hey all, I've been a SL resident since 06' (miss those teen grid days..as if I was ever on em' ) and well I started at about 14..im now 32. I don't believe I've changed much but I certainly feel as though ive traveled the world. As far as "Who Am I"..take a look at that photo, its a random cat, at a random sandbox, and that was a random picture.

I do that. Alot. Thats ME.

Been a while since I was on in a regular basis, still drop in occasionally to see what has changed over the years.  I started in March of 2002 almost 22 years ago and things are a lot different now.  Don't see any of my original friends from back in the day anymore, but still some really nice people.  Keep on having fun people, time flies by so fast.

I'm old.  I'm so old the Who were among my favourite groups (we didn't call them bands then).  I've been an actor, writer, organiser, roleplayer, charity-team leader, prim builder, mentor, and things I can't even remember.  I'm nearly always PG and like being a Tiny or Biggie.  Having moved on from a few communities I lost touch with a lot of people, and would like a few more friends, but am a bit shy, so though I'm friendly it might take time for me to get to know you.  In the meantime you can probably find me riding a pod on the Linden roads.   

You could probably say the same about me but swap Led Zeppelin for the Who. Although I did and still do love both bands (groups). The great thing about SL is that you can be , in the words of Bob Dylan, Forever Young.

There is no such thing as "just" a housewife.  😊 Welcome to your SecondLife where you can be anything! 

Most of us are fruitloops, so you'll fit right in.

'Ello. My name is Lee Thomas. I've lived in SL since Feb 2013, but just today (7 April 2024) joined this SL Forum. I'm hoping to make new friends, create community, family. I was very active in world the first few years I joined. During that time, I made many friends and created wonderful memories. It seems it was much easier to strike up a conversation and make friends back then? Sadly, I had to leave SL for about a year because of RL. I experienced some health issues (all good now) which led me to leave my career and move to another state for an extended sabbatical, during which I literally had no Internet connection for many months (I lived off grid in a small casita located on a 300 acre nonworking ranch in the mountains of the southwestern USA). I told all of my SL friends this. We had our sweet goodbyes. When I returned, almost all of my friends had vanished. Either they unfriended me, they had left SL, or worse, they didn't respond when I messaged them. Since returning, I spend all of my time at my beach house which I adore, decorating my home (I've lived on the same land parcel for about 8 years now and have decorated 3 different homes there), exploring Sims, taking myself out dancing, and shopping in world from time to time. All of this I do alone. I do my best to put myself out there and say hello to at least one person every time I venture out of my home. It seldom leads anywhere. On the rare occasion it does, I eventually discover the other person is looking for a sex hookup and not really interested in making friends. I'm not opposed to sexoromance. But I haven't been drawn to it in SL since I was a newbie. These days, I'm looking for friends, community, family. I'm seeking connection. Heart connection.

IRL, I work in the Arts, music mostly. My hobbies are reading (I'm currently reading all of the Pulitzer Winners for fiction), gardening, home improvement, film, Netflix (is my only "television"), cooking, diet/nutrition. I maintain a spiritual practice, which the past 20 years has consisted of Zen practice - but, I'm very open and eclectic in my spirituality and can find the groove in just about anything.
