I'm new as well, my old account got hacked since I took a break from sl. I lost most of my old friends because I haven't signed over a year and a half. I do admit It's really hard to make friends on here. It's very clicky especially, if your not a least a month old. because most jobs and certain groups require to be at least a month old before apply for one. Lot of things on here that I like, require me to be a month old even though, I have an alternate account. If you still want a friend you can message me and we can hangout .
