So, I've been trying to start using Second Life. I would say I've mostly succeeded, except in that I kind of dislike it. It seems like a really lame game with all the fiddly controls but nothing to do. I managed to figure out how to move and change my clothes, even found myself a pair of jeans, which was a relief. However, I find the world fairly ugly to look at and difficult to figure out. It also makes me nervous to just have all kinds of people around who can see what I'm doing, like when I fall off the stairs because I can't work the controls yet. I also had someone run into me repeatedly and then told me not to walk away, when all I wanted to do was figure out how to work my inventory and controls. I had another person who I couldn't see give me a rose. This kind of interaction made me uncomfortable because I don't know how people are supposed to interact on Second Life. I know in real life this would not be okay, and I don't like that there isn't anyway for me to like, hide or whatever. I find the whole thing very weird. Maybe if I found more things to do, or went on trying to find people to talk to, it would be more fun. Who knows?
