The Why

I’ve had at least one very negative reaction to me leaving Second Life (quite a scathing one), and a few people worried about me – wondering if they can fix “what’s wrong”. Nothing’s wrong. And I guess I better explain my departure a bit more for those of you still angry or concerned about me.
I [...]

More Special Peoples

It’s not surprising that I forgot a few people in my “yay you” list yesterday, so I better finish it off-ish:
Vort: One of the most genuine people I’ve met in SL. Our senses of humour are so similar that I often felt like you were a male version of me (you poor thing). It’s so [...]

Special Peoples :)

I’ve already done posts in the past mentioning my appreciation and love for various friends, in particular I’ve talked about Simmi, Stoo, Hell, Dell, Clarissa, Jonny, Rrish, Bails, DavidT, Crow and Kimber.

Friends Lists

I don’t know anymore how many people are on my friends list – last count was around 160, but it was over 200 at some stage. I always have some sort of policy in place for deciding who to put on and who to keep on my friends list, because just like an inventory it’s [...]

The people who get you through

I get down sometimes, hell we all do. Lately things have been a bit tough for various reasons and at times like these you always get reminded of who really cares about your well-being. SL is part of my support network, it helps me cope with RL and keep my spirits up when things get [...]

Alts: The Reasons Why

An alt is an “alternate account” in SL – where there is no connection between your original identity (for example, me as “Landsend Korobase”) and the new name you set up (for example, me as.. yeah right, like I’d tell everyone my alts..). That is, unless you choose to tell people who you are, which [...]
