Second life - Diary

I have been having a bit of trouble logging onto second life, it either crashes or is too slow to work on so, its taken me quite a while to send another post. But I finally managed to get on for a bit. Right there has been one place that is particularly popular with avatars. Its called Franks place. Its a jazz bar, it only allows avatars that are human and clothed(so i'm sorry you animal avatars out there) Everyone who is in there are dressed for the occasion should I say (very classy)

I have been in there a few times but I am never really dressed up and so none of the avatars talk to mine. So, I thought that I would try and dress up a bit more.

As you can see in the image on the left I attempted to put something smartish on and I did actually get my first dance but I didn't feel right so I thought I would leave and go in search for another outfit that would make me feel the part. I was even offered a dance but, I am a very busy avatar and need to search this world so we left but at least I made a new friend if I need help.


TaaDahh!!! this is the dress that I managed to find, I liked it and I thought it suited the place and, I was right I got talking to someone within a few minutes of being there. The avatar was living in the USA and explained that certain places made users software slow according to how well designed the island was.


The avatar also helped me with showing how to chat to other avatars. There is an option that is called 'IM received' It enables two people to chat together without other people interrupting, it also means that typing and interacting with other avatars would be a more quicker process.


I ended up back at my favourite place 'freebie beach' where I managed to find an awesome outfit. As you can see in the image to the right I think that it looks like a superhero costume, I may get attention I may not, who knows.

The more times I go on this site the more I realise how vain people are. They only speak to you if your attractive and even blank you if they don't want to talk. However there are also avatars who are there too help.

I wanted to meet new people in order to get more help and information which I have started too but as I coming to the end of my avatar life I'm starting to get my own opinion on what this virtual world is about. In my next visit I will go in search of different places to try and see what else second life has in store and has designed.
