Exploration assignment

I have visited the Charkyn Forest which was a very interesting and unique place. Sometimes I am not sure what is really all out there. I can sit on the computer for hours and just look around to all the different doors and the different hallways there are to visit and there is something new that I have missed. I talked with a Kasey about the scary options in cyber world and where all we have visited. It was interesting because I have no idea anything about this person and they can be ten million miles away and I not even know it. So, this program lets us get passed the appearance of people and just get to know everyone for their interests.

I also visited a place where there were a bunch of different shops with animal canvases. As you looked around and explored it was just American Indian tribal looking shops’? So, there was interesting shopping that I had to do. Although I did not buy anything there was plenty of looking that I could do.

I visited Themiskyra, it was scary. I talked to a Rodman about what the object of Second Life was and he was very insightful. He spoke of all the bookstores and learning environments there are along with getting to know different people. Rodman also suggested that is cheaper going shopping in Second Life that to go out to the mall!! I got a kick out of that comment. I do not quite understand the whole Sims and second life, but I am catching on quick and am eager to learn.

Appearance paper

As an avatar in Second Life I have changed my personal appearance several times. At first when you log in, your avatar is a certain “all American” figured girl. I had to change that to resemble some features of my appearance in real life. At the same time I wanted to experiment and use some features that I have just pictured, and that I just want for myself. So, I think that in Second Life you can kind of play around with your look and change your outfit on a daily basis if you are feeling different that day.

I have looked into some of the shops on the Second Life web site and I went in to the hair shop. That is where I tried on several different types of hair styles and colors. I did not purchase any of them but, it was fun to just play around with them. It would be a great tool, for if you wanted to go for a different look, you could just find it in a shop and try it on.
I also, looked at different outfits, but, a lot of them were lingerie. Which of course I would not wear lingerie in Second Life or in real life. That just ruled that shop out completely but, it was fun to try things on and to see how to make you look different.

I do want to go into Second Life and shop around for a new outfit. I am not sure about the blue polka dotted top I am wearing with white tights. That is just not me. I like to try new things and to make me appearance and my outfit change every time I log on. I think that would be fun. It would be like real life where you change outfits everyday and you experiment with your look.
