Magdalena Skizm at Caledon
For years, my daughter has been a member of a few of the virtual worlds out there, including IMVU; There.com, (which recently closed, much to her chagrin); and Second Life. She has hounded me for years to try them, but unfortunately, my old computer couldn’t handle the software.
That was then…this is now. I have a new computer with better hardware and she finally talked me into becoming a member of Second Life about 2 weeks ago, and I have been so hooked on it, I can barely think of anything else! I even DREAM ABOUT IT! Aaaahhh! But I am having so much FUN!
I’m still trying to learn the basics, but each day I learn a little more and pretty soon, I think I’ll be ready to do some heavy-duty role playing.
It has been ages since my days of role playing, (mainly Dungeons & Dragons), and things have really come a long way. Oh how I wish we’d had something like Second Life to use during our campaigns back then. It would have been so cool.
If you are on Second Life and would like to hang out with me, my avatar’s name is Magdalena Skizm. Would be so nice to have someone to explore with until I can get the hang of things, so…ADD ME PLEASE!
Distant Couple Marries On Second Life
Rhonda Lillie and Paul Hawkins, living thousands of miles apart in real life, exchanged “virtual vows” at Second Life
before ever meeting in person.
I can really relate to this, and my heart goes out to Rhonda and Paul. I met my husband, Charlie online, but we were lucky — we only lived 50 miles apart. These two lovebirds live thousands of miles from each other in different parts of the world.
I can only imagine how wonderful it must be to interact with your faraway loved one at a place like Second Life. Charlie and I had no idea the place existed back when we met. I’m sure it would have helped to bridge the distance at times. I hope that one day Rhonda and Paul will be able to tie the knot for real. Congratulations to them for taking this step.
