I was born on the 24th January 2007 …. that is to say that I joined the every increasing community that is Second Life on that date.

Second Life (SL) is a “3D online digital world, created and owned by its residents”, which may be true to an extent, but it is ultimately owned by Linden Lab, in San Fransisco. which was founded by Philip Rosedale in 1999, with a view to creating a 3D world where individuals can socialise, build, communicate and, basically, live.

My first few ventures in SL bored me, quite frankly! I just could not get the hang of it! Little did I realise what was ahead of me!

So I lay dormant for a few months – then was revived when a Real Life (RL) friend mentioned in passing that she was in SL. So back I went! That first day I wandered aimlessly, wondering what to do and where to go. A very nice chap offered to show me around … which he did … but it just wasn’t the kind of place I like to be shown around, thank you very much! ‘Nuff said! That is when I discovered the joys of Teleporting (TP) and TP’d my scared little butt out of there!

My next wander was more productive! I found a lovely beach called Eternal Creations. I got chatting to a gentleman called Sonic Rang, who really did turn out to be a gentleman. He even took me to a shop and helped me choose some ‘real’ hair …. and after some more advice from him, I soon found my wings and some decent clothes! He also took me to a church service at SDG Northbound Community Church, where he introduced me to the pastor, Ewen Glenelg, and worship leader, Davide Paravane. This place was to become my ‘home’ church.

During this time I had some delightful evenings at Nessie’s Bar with my RL (now SL) friends, Ishbel Hartmann, Equso Shepherd, Menolly Larrson, Norma Demina and flickr Raymaker. Together we explored interesting …. and not so interesting places!
