Dancing Between The Worlds
A little over a month ago, while on Hiatus, I finally started exploring Second Life. Maybe I couldn't do it when I really wanted to start tinkering because I knew that once I dove in, there would be no coming back. I am glad the "maddenings" are no longer a distraction in my life. In the short time I have been "In-world" I have gone farther, faster, than most n00bs do! In Second Life the learning curve is nose-bleed steep, and I love it! I don't feel like I am mindlessly spinning my gears any more!
Just about any kink imaginable can happen there, even some of the more bizarre and taboo ones. I can even set myself up as a Professional Domina in Second Life! It hasn't been my main focus, but hey, I seem to be a natural, and already people have been starting to call for my skills, so why not run with it? Even through the Aether, my senses are sharp. A Muse's work is never done, yes? In-world, I have already been confidant, confessor, counselor to many. I am so tempted to start charging nominal fees for my guidance as a Virtual Shaman. To me, it's much more than "just a game". I am meeting good people from around the world. I am "Chatelaine" of a group of friends who have banded together to help each other succeed and prosper in-world. One of my dear friends followed me in-world and is now my partner there. We have one shared submissive, and I now have two personal submissives!
I can be a Chamaeleon in-world, changing my appearance daily if I wish. Shapes, skins, clothes, special affects, moves, you name it! With so many places to collect "freebies" there's no reason for a newbie to look like a n00b for long! I even learned how to alter my appearance with a built in appearance window and tools! Ok, so I have purchased a few extra special shineys that can't be acquired for free, but for the most part, I am having a blast sorting through what I have collected. Streamlining the inventory to easily find things is tedious but fun! But there are some pretty kinky items that don't come for free, I am hoping to acquire them soon...Perhaps a loving client would be interested in "gifting" some toys and perhaps letting me use them as my "crash test dummy"!
Second Life reminds me of Burning Man in a lot of ways. Where else can you see "slug races" in a sand box, or ride a flying pig downtown New York City? A few weeks back, I was "shopping" in-world and crossed paths with Snoopy. People can have, do, be, just about anything! I love dancing, so when I discovered that I could dance in-world, I was all over it like a crack addict! I learned how to open up several dance moves and bounce between them, making my avatar shake it like a pro!
Although Second Life is "just a game" to many people, it is so much more. Thriving business is happening, to the point it is making people financially solvent in "Real Life". There is an actual economy, with fluctuating currency exchange rates. Yes, Second Life has felt the economic bite as well, but from what I have experienced thus far, it is picking up in-world, so perhaps it's an interesting indicator we may see improvements out-world soon, woohoo!
So, my friends and loved ones, if you have been wondering how I am lately, short answer is, I am happy and thriving. My In-world name is "Nera Viridis" Come visit me in-world sometime, I will show you around.
Happy Perving!
