Just a Fantasy World?

Hello to one and all...this is my first attempt at blogging. Scary yes, unsure yes, interesting yes, even if I end up talking to myself here at least I will not be seen talking outloud...... no more weird looks from the passers by in the street..giggles!

3D games, fantasy worlds, pixels with real feelings, real people, real connections all lead to real life.

Is this a good or bad thing? I am hoping with some help we will find out in good time.......

The Beginning

Take yourself back to the first time you ever logged into SL (SecondLife)...your pausing or is it I? Nope not I, I remember exactly how it came about..in fact it was like it was a sign.  You know the ones that just happen against all odds?  My life at the time was very deep emotionally with my feelings about my current relationship in tatters. I had not long had a newborn baby and with postnatal depression (ignored at the time) I was so very lost in my real life.

I had however seen an advertisement a year or so back about an on-line virtual world but for the life of me I could not remember the name of the game. That day I decided to browse my google and try to find it. No luck..nada...nothing just those war games, fairy-elves, etc....

Frustrated with myself and my computer I logged off feeling very peeved! There was no chance I would find that game I had once saw I know I had tried everything, so up the stairs I went to go and finally get a shower and changed for my day ahead. What was that? I heard something coming from the TV downstairs.  This Morning was on (gosh remember those days lol) and there was Richard and Judy discussing some love affair with an on-line virtual game.

My ears perked instantly..wth...down the stairs I raced...OMG that was the game I had spent hours searching for on-line. Yes Second Life......yes that's the one? Racing down the stairs and sitting down immediately my eyes widened listening to the couples fairy tale story and how they met on-line inside this fantasy game. My ears tweaked and perked as Richard mentioned the name...THATS IT!!!! I screamed SECOND LIFE!!!

Tell me that was not a sign? Well I certainly believe it was........to be continued....
