Introducing My Second Life
In this week's reading packet I was given a few articles on my latest fascination, Second Life. In one part of the article from the SF Gate the writer talked about how some people when designing their avatars either re-create themselves or go in the opposite direction.
When I created my avatar it wasn't my intention to recreate myself but that is pretty much what ended up happening.
Meet Gwen Quimby. I'd say she's a super hot/attractive version of the real thing. I hadn't until recently decided to actually join the Second Life community. The Ars Virtua Gallery gave me some insight. Too many new and exciting things are happening in or around Second Life not to get involved.
I'm thinking about starting a blog for my character. I'm still fleshing out some ideas but I think, I would document my experience in Second Life on the blog. Just an idea.

Your character looks really hot!
I find it interesting that even though when people design a character that is the opposite of them, the character would still hold some that can be identify with the creator.

this is so cool. i've been very tempted to get involved in second life as well, mostly because i see the connections between it and the sims (as an alternate reality experience); but unfortunately, i really don't have the time to invest in something like that. because i know it would suck up so much time.

I wonder how many people do the same thing: create a character the opposite of themselves. In virtual worlds, people tend to role play more often than not, introverts become extroverts, nice people become jerks.
