Darkley Aeon — Post 6 Grrrl

Although I very much appreciate people who spend all their time and Lindens on the bringing to perfection of their one avatar, be it in RP or not, it is the chameleons I love the most. Those people who re-invent themselves on every log-in. And though changing their looks dramatically every day, their character, their personality always remains the same. Why limit yourself in a (virtual) world of unlimited possibilities? One of these chameleons is Darkley Aeon who changed her looks faster than I could center my camera.

Ok, so in RL I’m a Londoner, but in SL I am many things, some days I’m a vampire, hanging out at Bloodlines or the castle, other days I may be dressed like Amy Winehouse, in a pretty dress, in scummy grungy clothes complete with bruises and cuts. I’ve even been a broken doll, with a cracked face and falling over a lot.

I hang around mostly in Forum which is my favourite place in Second Life, with the friendliest bunch of people I have met and where you can hear me cackling away like a madwoman, chatting away with friends generally enjoying myself, I’ve even set up a trivia quiz, where I spank their arses regularly (although admittedly I have rigged it slightly so more English questions come up)

I see SL as fun, and when it’s no longer fun – I will stop logging in.

Originally, I joined SL at the beginning of 2007, but couldn’t work out how to download the client, and didn’t know what to do and gave up – since I had forgotten that original log in name and password and made another attempt on a miserable boring day in December, persevered and voila!

What I like best about SL – wandering, having a nosey round and talking, talking, talking, talking to people – either in chat or on voice – I have made many friends from all over the world and just like finding out about people, not in a a/s/l way – but about their ideas and thoughts on random subjects – I like the randomness of SL – the places, the avatars, the conversations…

I just started to try and be productive in SL, rather than just a materialistic voracious consumer, I’m trying (and failing) to make some stuff, it’s just that I know exactly what I want to do in my head, but my hands and brain do not coordinate properly. I’m praying that it’s a universal Second life issue rather than me being an idiot.

Being an untechnical person, I have had lots of help from friends and strangers who are always willing to help a girl with a nice rack out – ain’t they sweet?

I am very excited about being a Post 6 Grrrl, and I wish for world peace – oops wrong thingy … I’d like to thank my agent, god, all the little people – oops wrong thing again – what was this all about again?
