Second Life continues

Remember Second Life? Real life has been quite busy so Dav and I hadn't met up in Second Life for quite some time. Tonight we did. And to my chagrin, I had forgotten how to move around (plus, there seemed to be computer glitches). I was supposed to meet Dav at our 'home' but instead of flying, which is super quick, I had to walk (over hills and through rivers). Finally, Dav IM'd me asking where the hell I was. So he told me the keys to get me flying...only thing is it didn't work very well, so I kept having to fly through trees, getting stuck behind walls, and getting lost between buildings.

Finally, I arrived on a building top next to our home (thus the religious symbol that our neighbor seems to have gigantically constructed). And to my pleasant surprise, Dav had bought me butterfly wings and butterfly jeans! I love them. But when I put the wings on, I somehow managed to push enough keys to make myself fall off the building. And I've never seen my avatar do this, but I fell flat on my face...WITH my butterfly wings. I can't help but wonder if Second Life is smart enough to make fun of people like me. I mean, they didn't have to show me falling on my face!

Click on the pic to enlarge. Dav has a new outfit too! Now I guess we'll go on dates in Second Life since he's in Brazil.

p.s. Notice my bunny slippers? :)

You two are the most technically savvy couple I know. LOVE the butterfly wings. Very nice. I really looks like you two!

I don't know if I'm tech savvy...considering how I am such a dork inside that world. Always bumping into things, etc. Dav, on the other hand is coding away, building stuff and making his face look more real.

I do this cuz we're apart and it is fun to get to fly around and look at things together.

One thing I didn't mention was that one time, Dav walked away and I couldn't find him so I was hanging around when suddenly, a gigantic guy dressed in black and gothic garb..with blood dripping around him...appeared. I freaked. I was like 1/3 of his size with my colorful wings. Luckily, he didn't strike up a conversation with me! In truth, I can teleport away or just log out, but I wanted to act normal and hang there...it was weird!!

It cracked me up to think of you bumping into things! I'm rather a klutz myself. I always have some boo boo that I'm healing (don't know if you remember that big open wound on my knee at burning man?)! You'd think that two cat owners might be more graceful :-)
