SL

As a newbie in Second Life, at first I just went to the places that the teacher told in the class. But actually that is not enough for me to satisfy my curiosity. When I was fooling around in the beautiful campus of Princeton University, a message was sent to me. It was cherry’s invitation for me to teleport to her place. That is indeed a wonderful function in Second Life, whenever you got lost from your friends, you would be saved by this function.
Cherry just called me and wanted to say hello, she suggested me that going to Freebie Beach where I can get more free clothes there. She told me that in SL, the outlook is very important. See, that’s a new me!







I met a man in sexy land, he just opening a club, he asked me if i would like to work for him or not. The job is dancers and escorts. But I think he can’t speak English very well. But I did not give any repair moves because he looked a little bit strange. So I chose to teleport to other place. If he looked good, maybe I would reconsider. Here I agree one thing :It’s true that appearance is important for a people in SL.






Domagoj Hofmann: are you looking for a job ?
wienie Sweetwater: no actually
wienie Sweetwater: just being here to take a look
Domagoj Hofmann: Iam openning a club today
Domagoj Hofmann: I need dancers and escorts
wienie Sweetwater: but i'm not a good dancer
Domagoj Hofmann: I have poles for that
wienie Sweetwater: actually i'm a newbie in SL
wienie Sweetwater: gotta go, bye

In Second Life, the problems I might meet so far is that the speed of typing English is quite slow that I could not follow the speakers of local chat. And some the text chat would just used simply a word or several words to stand for a long word or for special meanings. I think I should get used to it and learn how to used this simple words so that I would improve in typing. In SL, we almost are in the environment of text chat. In general situation, the number of repair moves in text chat is far less than in voice chat. But I think in SL, because of the reason that we are not familiar with the people who talked to us, so that we would use many repair moves to make sure what do they mean it by talking this way.

In Second Life, I can choose to be myself or to be a totally different one because nobody would know which is the real characteristic. There are no social constraints in SL. People there could somehow throw away those so called “morality”. You can be any kind of person you want. That’s what we cannot do in the reality.
