Venus Petrov wrote:Mari, oh what memories of that track! Your post made me go to youtube to watch the Thompson Twins' Extended version.
Its a fab track, isn't it Venus ? :smileyhappy: It was one of three (vinyl!!) singles I bought myself with some of the birthday money I got for my 21st birthday! Ah happy memories. (The other records I bought were Radio GaGa by Queen and What Is Love by Howard Jones.)
In SL, it was always played, on a loop, in Mobit Sandbox (now gone), and my best mate in SL at the time, my mentor, said it was a song made for me, because I was always making photos of us and plastering them all over the apartment I rented at Noob Island! "I have a picture, pinned to my wall... indeed!"

I might remove the other post, this is how I'm feeling in SL right now...
I'm not scared
I'm myself cause I'm not there
But it's unfair
I can see you when you're naked
I smile
cause I know you feel me inside
Touch this
Can you feel it just a menace
I'm a ghost girl
I am haunting in my own world
It's fun
Not to answer to no one
I'm a ghost girl
I'm a ghost girl
I'm not scared
I'm myself cause I'm not there
But it's not fair
I can see you when you're naked
I smile
Cause I know you feel me inside
Touch this
Can you feel it just a menace
I'm a ghost girl
I am haunting in my own world
I'm a ghost girl
I am haunting in my own world
I'm a ghost girl
I'm a ghost girl
I'm a ghost girl
I'm a ghost gïrl(No ghosts in SL at the moment you see :smileywink: so I have to do all the haunting myself.)

I have a picture,
pinned to my wall.
An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all.
Look at our life now, tattered and torn.
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn
Hold me now, warm my heart
stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)
You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah go far away
But you know that there's no where that I'd rather be than with you here
today
[Chorus]
You ask if I love you, well what can I say?
You know that I do and if this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry anymore
and then I'll ask your forgiveness, though I don't know just what I'm
asking it for
[Chorus]Really can't describe currently, with lyrics, how I feel in SL, or how SL makes me feel currently.
Maybe too much white noise ^^

Very cute indeed, love the carrot in its own holster. Nice touch.

Well, would YOU consider a Linden to be a newb? A lot of the Linden's haven't fancied up their badges.

Welcome to Second Life, and the forums!
I found the video tutorials made by Torley Linden of great help to me (I still do more than three years along).
If you click on the link below, and look at the selection of videos that comes up on the right hand side of the screen, I'm sure you'll get lots of really useful instruction/information about some of the basic things you need to know.

Thanks for posting this, Darrius. Much easier to read than the official one.

I don't know if the posts bump to the top any more - I'm really still getting lost in these forums :smileysad:
But lovin' your pics - there seems to be an unofficial group of jeans and tees kinda gals forming here :smileyhappy::smileyhappy:

@ Sera and valerie, thanks for kind words :smileyhappy:

I've always been a jeans and tee kinda gal. Nights out, ok, I'll done the hosiery, high heels and sequined frocks with the best of 'em.
First photo was taken July 2009 in Second Life.
Second photo was taken July 1986 in Real Life.

Aye, it's a shame they can't be off by default, and turned on via the debug menu by those who take an interest in this kind of detail.

Only for the male you dressed (the photos you posted; white socks and beige slippers!?) And, it was all in fun and context of the OP. :smileyindifferent:I think you look wonderful.I'm drawing a line under it now.

OK, I got you. I'm drawing a line under this now.

Darrius Gothly wrote:Test to Find a True Second Life Resident:Walk up to any stranger then hold aloft a plain white cue ball and tell them "This .. is a necklace."
This reminds me of being in drama classes at school; where the teacher had placed a hairbrush in the middle of where we all sat in a circle and told us that we had to take it in turns to imagine that it was anything except a hairbrush. About half the class could only see a hairbrush, others saw a microphone, a saucepan, a javelin (! - that one nearly took a window out!!), a door handle, etc etc.
I'm a bit like squashy, in that I don't really build, and I'm more of an explorer I guess than anything else, with a very inquisitive mind, but what all of us has is our great open minds and imagination.
-
To squashy, and Darrius, and Ishy, and all the others who "get" SL, the one thing that is screaming out at me is that none of us have even stood still for long enough to be griefed! And there undoubtedly lies the problem. People who linger for too long at the so-called welcome areas, (and I know I have seen it mentioned many times on previous forum threads) will witness griefing attacks or be griefed themselves. Easy pickin's for those whose imagination only runs as far as griefing and bullying others.
I also would think that the pro-SL posters in this thread never ever complain of being bored - in real life as well as in Second Life, whereas I certainly know a whole load of FB enthusiasts who do complain of being bored, or of killing time rather than filling time.

Darling Wilhiam, I am like an Armadillo; crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside :smileyhappy:

And as well as mentioning Janelle, Wildcat, and my ex-partner in the previous post I made to this thread, I should have said, what strikes me more about you, Wilhiam, is not that you are in the form of a rather handsome cat, but your openness and honesty, coupled with a sense of fun that doesn't meander into the land of the deviants, makes a refreshing change, and I am honoured that you are on my inworld friends list.

Storm Clarence wrote:Marigold Devin wrote:I see the ladies are still out shopping for this particular challenge then?
Marigold I tried to whisper a few posts up: it is *you* that needs to go shopping. :smileyindifferent:I don't know how you dress your female avatar, but your male avatar needs much help.I don't know which of us is being the doll's head here, Storm, and *I* don't *need* to go shopping at all!
Marigold is not exactly a unisex name, and the only time I've ever used that male avatar shape and skin in my inventory has been to quickly demo something. That male shape and skin I have in my avatar is obviously that overused freebie one that I am sure, like me, if you never saw it again would be too soon! (smiley indifferent)
The white socks in one photo were meant to be humorous. Old men always seem to keep their socks on, and often seem to wear pale socks (there was even one across from me on the bus this afternoon in real life - white socks and brown sandals)
I waited a whole day before I posted to this thread, because I HATE shopping, and I assumed loads of women who actually enjoy shopping would jump at the chance to complete Perrie's original challenge (and possibly even compete against each other to a degree). I really thought this thread had potential to be lots of fun, and that's what I was aiming for when I jumped in with my - albeit very pathetic - bunch of photos. (And I think I did apologise to Perrie for not completing his challenge.)
My female avatar currently looks like the girl in the videos I attached to posts above. If you think it looks appalling then frankly my dear, I don't give a damn! I never enjoyed dolly dress up as a child, I enjoy it even less as a grown-up.
(P.S. I know it can be hard to tell from just text, but I'm really not as p1ssed off with you as I sound - I just wanted to make myself perfectly clear to you. (non-sarcastic smiley)

Dresden Ceriano wrote:I win, right?
...DresETA... I was replying to the OP... can't this software get it right... sheesh.
I nearly swallowed my tongue when I saw that photo. That's an imaginative outfit! Just picturing Perrie/Storm/Darrius wearing that. :smileyvery-happy:

Venus Petrov wrote:I love that dance animation, Mari, very sensuous!
It had been a while since I'd gone dancing, and testing all the "new" dances was fun. Another one here - not sure what to make of it but my dance partner must have been getting a little hot, because his shirt seemed to have derendered itself!!
(Forgive the derailment - just filling in while the ladies go shopping for the men you understand :smileywink:)

Laughing at Rhonda - when I haven't got my glasses on, I usually see the *naughty* words too :smileysurprised:

I see the ladies are still out shopping for this particular challenge then?
If I get the chance to meet up with this nice gentleman again (see video below), I'll get him to show me where he usually shops. He took great delight when we met in showing me a selection of his (vast) wardrobe. I thought he looked very nice (sexy - for an avatar), right down to his underwear.

Dillon Levenque wrote:Edfred Jungsten wrote:With the basic viewer now being implemented, computer literacy seems like it isn't a requirement anymore. And yes I am talking abut Linden Public Lands specifically. That is where new residents spend their first initial experience in Second Life, where they orientate themselves to the world, where they make their first attempts at making friends, and where they spend time discovering their first purcheses / freebies. The public land experience is the gateway to whether Second Life is a win or a fail in ther minds.
I see your point, but I'm still not sure that SL has to win or fail right there. When I arrived the only public land I knew about was Help Island, where my avatar rezzed (I gather it's different now). I spent a few hours at most looking there, going back to the internet to read tutorials, and getting at least a bit familiar. But as soon as I could I TP'd to the mainland and never looked back (as I recall there was a kind of test tp set up that you had to use before you could get off the island).I was like you, in that as soon as I could, I teleported out of the initial orientation/welcome area and onto the mainland, and I only ventured back there when creating alts, and got out even faster each time!!
In real life, I've found the best way of learning something has been to throw myself fully into it, and always believing Second Life not to be a game, as such (unless the individual chooses to view it as a game), it was more an adventure, a series of explorations for me, and yet so much more. At times it's really given my grey matter a proper workout, and I have learnt an enormous amount about so many things, cultures, languages, a bit of geeky stuff, and a lot about human nature.
-
It doesn't really matter that SL will never be "conventionally accepted", for it is not a conventional gaming platform, and I strongly suspect that one of the main reasons for new people not returning after their first experience in SL is more to do with the fact they don't know what they are meant to be doing, and think there should be an aim, or clear instructions of what to do next. Its not a matter of being "tough", more a matter of having an imagination, and an open mind.
I've been in Second Life since November 2007, and have only been griefed twice, and although the first time it happened I was quite distressed, I put it down to experience. I have also had a psychopathic woman attempt to blacken my name with the owners of all the groups I was in, but it's impossible to get through life - real or virtual - without encountering all types of people, with all types of issues.
Things do p1ss me off in Second Life, but pretty much the things p1ss me off in real life too, but I'm still not bitter and twisted enough to give up either life.
Any issues I have had that have led to me submitting Abuse Reports have been dealt with fairly on the whole.
I'm sorry to hear that you have such a negative view of Second Life.

Nothing has yet been announced for this as far as I know, but if you click on the "Blogs" tab above on a regular basis, as soon as LL announce their plans for SL8B, that is where they will post the information.

Searching for big and good frequented shopping malls....:-)
in Favorite Destinations
Posted
Without a doubt, go and see the owner of the 5th Avenue sim, the owner of Wetherby's store. She has recently had another sim added, and around the main store is a busy little shopping mall, full of reasonable-to-rent units. I am sure you would have much success with your goods if you set up a store there, as the traffic is good, and Mrs W does actively encourage visitors to the main store to also frequent the mall stores.
