Experiencing New Life

We all know how trends come and go, right? Well, I have latched on tight to the next "best thing" with both hands. I am currently fully engulfed in the experience online gamers call Second Life. It is a highly addictive virtual world filled with worlds within worlds that are only limited by the minds that made them.

Just as I practically forced my sister to join Facebook, she has in turn convinced me to try Second Life. Okay, so, it was really my own curiosity that made me want to know what this "game" was all about. I looked it up on Firefox and found it's main link, which is, of course: http://secondlife.com EVER SINCE then, I have been playing 2nd Life quite nearly like it's my ONLY LIFE!

I won't explain everything, it would take far too long but I will say that the shopping is FANTASTIC! For me, it's like having the ULTIMATE FUTURE BARBIE DOLL in a 3-D format on your home PC. Your avatar is a human form representing yourself. You can only create a first name, the system gives you a list of last names to choose from. It is very time consuming, however, and as I said before, extremely addicting.

In fact, I just had a FB friend call me today and ask if I was all right, because I was a very active personality on Facebook! She had not seen me in a couple of days and wanted to see if I was all right. LMAO! I assured her I was fine and only addicted to a new game called 2nd Life which has been around longer than I knew. Quite possibly, since 2005 or earlier, I'm not sure even now.

I just wanted to stop in and explain to our readers we have not abandoned you at the Muse, we are gaining new experiences, busy for the Holidays, and staying up far too late into the night (rather, early into the morning) playing SL! That's what the players call it. There are real people behind those keyboards, acting out their dreams and ambitions of the real world (RL) in their SL. I am looking into playing out my lifelong fantasy of becoming a singer! Imagine that. Yes, you really have to SING through your computer's microphone to be a singer, so that will be interesting considering how shy I am...

So, here's to New Experiences during the Holidays! Happy Thanksgiving Faithful Readers! The Muse loves you and wishes you great blessings this Thanksgiving Weekend. Be sure to be thankful for ALL God has given you, there is a lot! The very are you breathe, the sun, the clouds, and the rain. The day and the night. The pleasure and the pain! No matter where you go, there you are. Be thankful for you.

I am.
