Comments on: Taking A Vacation From SL http://alphavilleherald.com/2007/10/taking-a-vacati.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Anon http://alphavilleherald.com/2007/10/taking-a-vacati.html/comment-page-1#comment-21166 Anon Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:21:11 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=1040#comment-21166 I'm posting here anonymously because I am a prominent business owner in Second Life, and I'm not ready for my unmasking, so to speak. Thank you for this article. Many points I identified instantly with, and I applaud further study into Second Life becoming an addiction problem for some people. Like so many others, each day I log in for my Second Life fix, and I justify the obscene time spent in Second Life through my business, which also happens to be very successful. But that doesn’t remove an underlying problem, the fact that I recognise I need to log in each day.

SL became a job in itself and I felt more pressured than I did with my real job. I am back to SL but not as much as I was. Sadly the friends I had, all had snubbed me because of my vacation. But then again its second life...so I am not worried about the consequences of vacationing to my 1st life. I have taken about 2 months off to focus on more important things.

It was deep enough that I decided to list all the things I had associated with SL. From emails to blogs to SL Exchange and some of the news sites (sorry SL Herald!), I had 12 links in all that I was a “regular” visitor of. The ease of plugging in really can be overwhelming.. I Googled “Second Life Blogs” and my mom got scared and said "youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air!" I whistled for a cab and when it came near the licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare. But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air! I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later. Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to settle my throne as the failure of bel-air.

I have too much stressful shit going on IRL that makes it so hanging out in SL is about all I can afford right now. I'm essentially laying low, paying off debts and getting other issues settled. Barring SL breaking I figure I have about 1 or 2 more years of SL left in me. After that I'm back to travelling! I know how you feel, though. I've taken a few breaks from SL to avoid burning out. hehe SL is a vacation from RL for me!
