Second life - Diary

My last entry I said that my aim was to change the appearance of my hair and guess what? Yes I did it but it did take a bit longer then I intended too. Whilst I was in search of the island that would sell hair I was transported to another Island. It wasn't that busy and not many avatars were around (it was the early hours of the morning) However I made friends with another person.


The avatars name was Feenix Carver. The avatar spoke to me about general things, I found out that they were on the virtual world because they were interested about the network. Feenix Carver also gave me some bikes to ride explaining I could use them in certain islands. After having a chat with him I decided to transport again in hope that I would get to the island with hair


And I did! It was like a stereotypical island, pink and very girly (how I expected it As I walked around I was amazed at all of the different hairstyles you could get. The image on the left show the mouse view, if I zoom into my avatar it would give me the view of what my avatar could see. I had no idea what I wanted and what to do but luckily the other avatars were there to help and this one especially helped me alot.



Her name was Halo Lunasea, this avatar look like they knew what to do and she did. The avatar approached me and assisted me throughout the whole process on how to get a hair style. What was even more surprising is that the avatar gave me some money to buy the hair!! I didn't know what to say, to make things better she showed me how to put on the hair. This however was different to the normal way. The avatar used their computer microphone to actually speak, hence why I know that this particular avatar was a woman.

Thats one thing that worries me about second life sometimes is that you don't know who your really talking too, it could be anyone. My next plan is to try and find an island that has more real life to it rather then just a newbie place, I want to see the city virtual worlds, fingers crossed.
