a room with a view . . . .

Today seemed to go past really really quicker. I guess that was because I was actually working. *giggle* Well today was all about building things for ourselves. I cheated a little bit by importing a rug, lamp and couch, but all the rest of it was done by me.

I made a 2 story building. It simply started out as just a wall but I soon got the hang of it. I just had a little trouble trying to line everything up and make sure that nothing overhanged. Here is me making some stairs.





Here is the view from my bottom room window. Nice huh? People would pay lots of money for a view that good!! Pity it wont last. :(





The top floor! It will eventually have maybe some fairy lights and an outdoor setting but for now all it has is its view. How cool is it that you can see night and day at the same time?!





And finally here is me chilling on the couch that I stole. I'll make my own later. I really want old furniture. Long loveseats in damask and dark wood. Classic.





So ends another day in my second life. Will update later about the discussion we had in class about what brainstormed for idea for our island.

Later.

seems a little strange . . . .

So today I'll flicking through all the emails that I've recieved. A large majority of them are just spam, wonderful wonderful spam. I got a little bit excited though when I saw one email though. It was from second life and someone was asking me to be apart of their group. I felt a little rush and opened my email to see what group I had just been asked to join. Then my little heart sunk. The email contained . . . . .

I don't remember speaking Portugese on second life. Hell I don't even remember learning Portugese!! I do definately remember clicking on the little thingy at the start saying "I speak English" though. So does that mean that people can just randomly pick people out of the blue and add them to groups? Am I now going to become a victim of this? Getting ridiculous invitations to groups that serve no purpose to me? I will not be a happy chappie if this continues. I get enough spam as it is.

End rant.

welcome to my second life . . . .

Howdy there folks.

Today during my first IST class I signed up for my very own "second life". I have given myself the name "Prima Katscher". Spent quite a while fiddling about with facial and body attributes whilst everyone else was off getting freebies. Apparently this is just what chicks do. They want to look good before doing anything. I agree. Plus it's fun to customise. It's just a pity that it's all jerky and laggy at uni. Takes forever for anything to load.

We also discussed what we wanted out of the course and what we were aiming for generally in life.

Having a second life was never one of my goals. I had actually said to myself that I purposely wouldn't get one because everyone else had one. Seems ridiculous now given that I have to have one for school. It's fun to play around with all the clothing and hair though. Here are some snapshots of Prima. The first is just her. Her hair rocks. The second is her dead in the water. She's even all blue and slimy, hehehe. Well not really but that's how I see it.

Enjoy!!
