too old to have two lives
yet another sign that i’m getting old. i’ve known about second life for as long it’s been around, but i only just broke down and signed up for an account. well, really, i created my avatar ‘Kreyoli C.’ about three weeks ago. i’m both happy and sad to admit that after fiddling around with it for about two hours i was totally over it. i’d barely decided on what my avatar would look like and had started ‘walking around’ the place and i’d had enough.
i guess i should’ve known i didn’t need or want a second life. all of my social networking profiles are lagging and haven’t been logged into, let alone updated, for oh, let’s say a year now. don’t get me wrong, i still love the connectivity and instant gratification that is part of the greatness of the web, but i dunno. something about joining a site just to troll for new people to meet or wait for strangers to ‘freind’ me seems… so 2002. ack, now i sound all anti-social, huh? well, just another sign of getting old. or maybe it’s just a sign of being okay with my first life.
