QotW10: Attempting Second Life

So this week I began my virgin attempt of having a second life. While many relate how elating their experience was, mine just happens to be filled with ups and downs. It started off well. I was able to edit my “twin’s” appearance and made her similar to me. It was fun playing around with the different features of it. Fuse free and no cost make over. In fact, it was more than a make over with the option of creating a smaller waist, sculpting the arms and thighs, instant hair growth and even height increment. It was even a mini “Project Runway”. Tops could be altered to fit, bottoms could be modified according to style and footwear could be adjusted to suit the clothes. My twin – Joanne Benelli – was created to resemble me in some way or other.

With the fun part being explained, here comes the frustrations. As much as I wanted to get on with my twin’s life, I was unable to do so. To begin with, there was the “laggy-ness” of the computer that I had to battle with. My twin was having a slow reaction. Then, Orientation Island seemed to be a permanent place for me. It was impossible to leave. I had never ending tasks. I was doing the tasks over and over again for god knows how many times. The system just refuses to register my tasks. After countless of attempt, I just decided to accept fate and stay put on Orientation Island.

And so, poor me just had to tour around Orientation Island to find interesting places. So off I went exploring the island. After walking around aimlessly for quite some time, I found myself a car. So here I am sitting comfortably in my new vehicle.

It is adorable right?

Somehow I like my new car and decided to stay put in it a little while longer. And I did manage to maneuver it a little. Here, driving is not as easy as compared to the real world. But at least I get to have a cute car over here. Sadly, I could not drive this car out to explore the rest of the island. And so, the rest of my journey was covered by foot. After bidding my cute car goodbye, I stumbled upon these stone status. And I decided to have a little photo taking session with them.

The first one looks friendlier compared to the other.

Though they were stone status, they are able to chat with me. I would say it was pretty interesting to have a conversation with stone status, though it was not a long conversation.

I am not alone.

Apparently, I found someone who was interested in the status as well and I caught her on camera without her knowing. Soon I got bored with admiring the status and continued with my lonely walk. Guess what I found over here? A dragon! I just could not resist posing next to it.

Don't we make a good pair?

After several poses, I decided to leave my beloved dragon to venture into the other parts of the island. Perhaps when I get tired of walking about, I might go back and keep the dragon company. Not far away, I spotted a runway. Since there was nothing much for me to do, I decided to climb onto it and see if I looked good on the runway. Here, is my best pose.

What do you think?
Do I have what it takes to walk on the runway?

Guess I was just fantasizing too much. This is what happens when I am bored. Daydream and more daydreams.

Apart from that, I managed to make a few friends which I forgot to capture those moments down. One of them started chatting to me and even volunteered to help me out a little as I seem lost. It was great to know that there was someone who was willing to lend a helping hand to the poor me.

I guess attempting Second Life was not that bad after all. It might have some hiccups but the experience was worthwhile since I managed to make some new friends.
