  1. I had played a PC game called Myst...and somehow thought, ( quite mistakenly) that SL would feel like an unlimited version of Myst! I logged in 2008, and this is my original avie. Like many of us, I wondered what made me pick that name, but I have grown into who Lenni became. Like another writer said, if I hear my avie's name called out in RL public, I look! She is the cute tomboy version of my female me. I met a friendly avatar named Hippie Bowman, found me on Help Island, on my second day, and he took me home with him. He showed me how to ice skate, and I got it , finally, but then wore the ice skates for a week, he had not told me how to take them off! Hippie is a huge part of Second Life now. Running an amazing sim, and also having created HippieStock! The gathering of the year in SL. I was blessed to meet Hip, or I don't think I would have made it. SL is hard technically, especially back then, and I became proud of being about to actually do it. My emotional side, was hooked, so I had to wrap my head around the tools, and make it work. I went exploring, and met a fairy kinda winged girl named Misty Rhodes. I was accidently hovering over her house looking for another destination in the guide, and she asked "Can I help you"? Boy did my life change! She knew everything, I mean she had SL figured out! And so warm, and open and helpful. We friended and ran off into the abyss together, night after night. She taught me how to voice chat with her and I loved her rich New York accent.The places she showed me I had never seen before, and seemed it was all in construction.. she was working on so much for the community. Events and things I had no idea happened. I was inspired by her. ... one night, after having run around all day with her, I asked about her real life, and how she had time to do this much in SL? Whats was her RL job? (Odd how it takes like months in SL with friends, to ever really wonder about that, with so much to do, it often feels irrelevant) But She said..." I can't tell you my real life job ok? I just can't...." " against the rules" .... but she could just feel what I was thinking.. She must be a prostitute, or a mama who runs a whore house, or maybe a drug dealer in RL? my mind raced... She felt my tension and said, "ok ok" and then rezzed in as Mia Linden...oops!! I had like no idea in the world she was a LInden, and she knew it! She laughed at me for a long time, and told me never to tell anyone she was Linden, cuz she wanted her avie Misty to have another life. I understood that. I guess I was pretty dense not to figure it out...Talk about a great friend, we went to 2 SLCC conventions together and met in person, and remain close in RL to this day. The friends I have met in SL, from all over the globe are so important to me. To have a conversation with a group of people from 6 different countries at the same time, is amazing. SL offers an immersion with others, that I can't describe well, from the hysterical laughter, to the tears. It's an important platform I will never leave.
  2. In honor of forwarding artistic content and empowering creative people, we have acquired Burning Sim in Second Life. It’s just an empty desert, similar to the one Burning Man celebrates in real life. And I think we should all share it. We opened May 1st with live music, with our first building teams, but the contest is ongoing, so join the next one! Fill out the entry form and build your artistic and creative content for 30 days on a 8320 parcel, with 1904 prims at your disposal. It’s all free! You could easily win exclusive use of this full sim for 30 days. We let public vote decide the winner. This is not about pro building, or creating all your own content, (though you certainly can) Whatever you can do, with what you collected along the way here in SL, certainly counts too. During your build we fill Burning Sim with live music and events to get your work noticed! Join up today for the August build! Details and entry form here Burning Sim Info
  3. Yes we do have 3 spots left! Don't forget it's all about fun and meeting other builders, and enjoying a big space. Don't let the idea that you could win a whole sim scare you off...anyone can have it, we need not be pros, just creative!
  4. This is going to be a blast! I can't wait to see so many happy faces on our sim!
  5. Times are hard on us all financially, I agree..but I can't wait to meet on this cruise! It's about 300 per person if you share a room with someone..150 down holds the room, and you have until march to pay it off. Once on board food and fun is free! I am saving up and will make it happen. For all the time I have spent in SL, this is my treat to myself Love you all and hope you can make it!
  6. If Second Life we gone tomorrow, I would be really upset. I'm sad that more of you don't feel as strongly about SL as I do. Perhaps it's because I have made special friends that I am afraid I would lose. They are from so many countries and walks of life, and we surely do love each other after all these years. I never tried to make money in SL, or role play something I am not..I just fell in love with the people around me and enjoyed our never ending struggles to figure out, and survive in our virtual place. If LL does dump SL, I would hope they at least gave us a month or two warning, so we could find other ways to meet the people we have come to care about. Most of us keep our RL mostly private, it's not like I have eveyones email address or anything. I would hope we could find another grid to populate, and maybe keep our same names. I really hope it doesn't happen
  7. I have had the same skin and hair for over 3 years now. I have worn the same outfit for the last two years, just my leather jacket and jeans. I know i am not the norm, as my SL friends are always out to get me to change, or go shopping with them so they can "just dress me up and see what it looks like" I am busy in SL, I film, and don't like to shop, so this works for me. Some have said it is nice they can recognize me in any crowd. LOL
