Second Life vol 2

I spent most of last semester avoiding this game due to technical difficulties which bred a general lack of interest. Several classmates this semester seemed interested, though, so I went back over my blog entries on SL again and the myspace people who so kindly answered my questions. At least I figured out how to download pics to my blog this time, though! I'm getting better already! But I don't remember where I got those butterfly wings...and I'm still looking for one of those camps where you can earn money. I figured out how to teleport and was really fascinated by the likeness of Clemson's campus in SL. I think I remember something about John Kerry having SL campaign headquarters somewhere? Obviously there are a great many people out there who enjoy this phenomena. Although I must admit to really enjoying World of Warcraft, primarily for the social aspects, I much prefer the graphics in WoW to SL, and even on top of that, I prefer hanging out with friends here in the real world to either. While a useful tool for advertising my new business and a fun way to keep in touch with far away friends, even myspace sometimes becomes tedious for me. I used to think blogging would be fun: I keep a journal, but seriously, what good is a journal just for me that no one else reads? Blogging would allow my friends and family keep up when I can't keep in touch, and allow me to keep up with their lives when I'm bogged down with schoolwork and can't keep in touch. But really it's just a way to keep distances more tangible, and I find I wouldn't have to keep in contact with people who actually do live close by if all I have to do is check out their blogs. Sometimes, technology becomes too integrated into my lifestyle and I have to take a break for a while.
