Edit: I just returned to read my replies and I'm sorry it has been so long. I just wanted to add (essentially) what I told Paprika. - Thanks for posting to my SL ad. I know it was a while ago when I posted the thread but I keep coming back to play SL although I am online only briefly as of late. Most of my SL friends have moved onto other things so I've missed that part of SL. I placed this ad for anyone else who may be looking to try and begin a longer (rather than short term) friendship. To be clear- I am not looking for a lesbian AV relationship. Just friendship. I think someone mis-read my add, inferring or assuming this. When I say 'intimate' i simply mean close, truthful, honest and not veiling RL with SL. Intimate=realness. If you find yourself reading my ad or this thread. Know that I've met many people in SL and I think meeting new people is great. I do it all the time. I love it. However, I am hoping to make friends with people who are not just passing through SL. So, whether you're here permantely, for the forseable future or just pasing through, you are worth getting to know. It is up to you to determine based on my list or ad whether or not you think I am worth getting to know. If you think 'yes' or 'maybe' please post or contact me via PM. If you read the list and think 'eff that lady' or 'get real' or anything negative, offensive or your feel not compatiable - please just move on to another thread instead of posting. Thanks! PS: If and when you PM me, - Can you tell me a bit about you and what you are like so we can have a jumping off point? For instance if you were to write an add for a new friend, (like my ad) what would it say? How would you describe yourself in SL? and RL? - which leads to... What kind of boundaries do you have between RL and SL? Some people hate talking honestly about who they are in RL. I don't mind either way but obviously since I am open, it makes me feel less vunerable if my friends are as well. Also I want to konw YOU not just your AV and although for some that can be too much to ask, that is what I'm offering so I don't want anything less in return. ----- orig post ----- Long time SL' er returning to in world and looking for new people with common interests.
