Back in Second Life

Posted by on April 17, 2008

I joined Second Life back in 2005 or so. For a while I didn’t have a computer that could do it at all so I only played at friends’ houses. Then I had a computer that could do it, but not well, so I got frustrated and gave up on it. Now I’m back, thanks to [info]aleja, and I’m getting more involved! (This is only in the last few days, even.) In fact, I just bought a home. Yup, I’m now a Second Life homeowner, paying RL cash for a virtual plot of land. Oh well, it’s not much. I did always kind of want a home…I was a total vagrant before. Anyway, here are some pictures of my renewed second life.

Here’s [info]aleja sitting on the only thing I’ve ever created in Second Life: a giant brown cat. Aleja on my cat
Here’s a new hairstyle I bought at Elisha Tiramisu Designs. My new ETD hairstyle

And check this out – one of Aleja’s friends who is active in the GimpGirl community made me a hearing aid. In fact, it’s MY hearing aid – it’s an Epoq! There is a volume control and everything! This is only the prototype, but I’m wearing it everywhere because I think it’s totally rad. Hearing aid from front

I got a little crazy with the hair on this one. This is after I modified the hearing aid slightly so it curved over the ear more accurately. Hearing aid plus purple hair
And finally, here is the title bar for my new home! It’s on the Cape Able sim, which is a disability-related sim with a strong focus on deafness. I’m not showing you the home yet because I haven’t fixed it up. The land came with a very nice two-story house, but so far all I’ve done is put down a bed and gone to sleep on it. (Yes, I put myself to bed before I logged off.) But anyway, just seeing my name in the title bar was cool. I finally have a home! I has a house.
