We are Second Lifers

JinxdGirl · 08-18-2010, 10:13 PM

Ok, so I know there are a few of us here on BFP, it's time we all get together and get to know each other.

Tell us a little bit about your SL:

what's your name?
when is your rez day?
male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi?
what do you do?
where are your haunts?
what's the story behind your name?
are you partnered?
tell anything you want us to know!

JinxdGirl · 08-18-2010, 10:33 PM

* what's your name? February Jinx

* when is your rez day? 11/30/2008

* male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? chick

* what do you do? currently, not much .. gonna get back to creating

* where are your haunts? GLBTQI HUB, Lesbian Paradise (when I'm desperate), Hooters and Shooters

* what's the story behind your name? February = RL birth month and I was fairly sure it wasn't too common. Jinx = love the name Jinx, enough to eventually change my name legally to Jinx (no, not because of SL, I've thought about it for years!)

* are you partnered? uh. no.

* tell anything you want us to know! I've been off and on SL for years, Jinx is the newest and the only avi/name I've used for a since 2008. I was gone for nearly a year (August 2009 - July 2010) and am now getting back into the swing of things. I'm super flirtatious and always looking for new friends, so look me up and maybe we can hang out sometime.

apretty · 08-18-2010, 10:59 PM

my thumbs are sore from my cellphone solitaire, but that's likely not the same as having a whole additional life.

skeeter_01 · 08-19-2010, 09:54 AM

Tell us a little bit about your SL:

what's your name? well..i go by 'skeeter' or 'skeet' on line but my real name is marti

when is your rez day? sorry but i don't know what a "rez day" is

male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? well...
i think it's a dog which celebrates the DAWG in me...

what do you do?
i work in the ER at U of M hospital (GO BLUE!!) i'm a clerk and get to see stuff you just wouldn't believe!!

where are your haunts?
on here or IRL? on here i love the forum! i have been to the chat room about 100 times but no one is ever there and i talk to myself enough at home!

IRL i hang out at work and home..i get as much OT as i possibly can at work..

what's the story behind your name?
one of my ex's told me "you're like a skeeter that buzzes around and around someones ear..no matter how many times they take a swing at you..they keep missin' and you keep buzzin'...

are you partnered?
nope...i'm recently single and lovin' every minute of it!!

tell anything you want us to know!
i'm a huge flirt! i don't mean to be..i'm a libra..*shrugging*..

skeet

TenderKnight · 08-19-2010, 10:22 AM

lol.. I think what Jinx is talking about is an online game where you create a charactor and then interact with other folks in a virtual invironment with an avatar..

I've never played, but have thought about it.. Jinx, maybe you can tell us a little more about it?

LOL!!!....never mind!!...now back to your regularly scheduled program!!

Jett · 08-19-2010, 05:47 PM

Yep.... and I'm weird about it too (or so I'm told) because I've tweaked my avatar to look as much like my first life (real life) from face to hair to right down to the clothes I wear... lol.

Hmm, my rez day is like 8/?/2009... but I did a new account recently to change my name to my name to my real name, first name at least. I go in m-a-y-b-e two to three times a week depending.

Since my avatars modeled after real life it's gq Boi 24/7--

I like to hang a bit at Greek Gold Lesbian Resort... I've been to Lesbian Paradise but it lags so bad AND if I forget to change my group tag above my head inveritably someone starts screaming "it's a man... man alert!!!" :/ LOL. Greek Gold is just way more welcoming to all folks, boi, butch, trans what have you.

Also I like the Casinos, like Gold Rush Gaming but that's gone... some role play like Erie Isle and Terminal Island Correctional Institution but I haven't been there for a while... and that takes a lot of time...

AND... *drum-roll* the number one thing I like in Second Life... shopping! I dunno *shrugs* I like shopping...

I thought of getting a second avatar once for kicks- like an elderly man named Sterling who likes to show up at all the lesbian joints in his boxers with an umbrella drink just to see how long before he got teleported into outer space, lol

Metro
(and never checked out the GLBTQI Hub, I'll have to do that)

Soft*Silver · 08-19-2010, 05:55 PM

I said I would never play arcade games and I find myself playing that colored bubble game at least an hour a day..so who knows if I will be a second lifer...I actually thought about it...but I am so computer illiterate...

The lag at LP is killer, when I go I have to detach everything and drop my graphics down to nothing, it's kinda suck ass. AND since they are so paranoid about guys (like a guy couldn't easily slip into a female shape/skin) there are too few butches for my liking.

Adding that to my list of places to check out. I lovelovelove a good role play!

When you get the old man avi, seriously, give me a heads up so I can come watch the freak out! And check out the HUB, it's a good place and I know there are at least 5 people from BFP that hang out there.

PS: Metro you never told us your name there, feel like sharing?

Nerd: Thanks a ton for explaining SL for me, I hadn't seen the posts until just now.

SL is incredibly easy to get started, and as Nerds mentioned the emerald viewer should be windows 7 compatible. It is completely free, though once you get there you'll want L$ (the currency in world) to shop, but even that can be easy enough to get without dipping into your own pockets.

There is plenty of Butch/Femme/Trans space and a number of SL players are also members on BFP so, you've got the inside track to some good B/F/T welcoming places.

There is TONS of BDSM/Leather space. And Butch/Femme/Trans welcoming kink space. But, as everywhere, be wary of the people that are SL kinksters only, they think they know everything when the type of play possible there isn't always realistic.

The majority of communication is chat/text based, though there are many places where voice chat is enabled and so people can speak to each other, which is always fun. I often can't voice chat, but I can listen to those that are an type my responses, which is the best of both worlds.

Sorry this thread wasn't clear from the outset, thank you all for being patient and at least curious enough to look into it. So, yay, that!

JinxdGirl · 08-19-2010, 07:09 PM

Second Life (SL) is a virtual world, online. Sort of like The Sims but waaaaaaaaaaaay better.

If you've never been there, but are at all interested in 3D, highly interactive, highly user generated virtual world, I'd certainly recommend it.

Shadowboi2010 · 08-25-2010, 09:00 AM

Tell us a little bit about your SL:

what's your name? JesseFtM Dagger
when is your rez day? 3/27/2007
male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? Male
what do you do? Club Owner and male dancer.
where are your haunts? Club Corrupt mainly, but I go other places.
what's the story behind your name? I really wanted to use Jesse, but all the last names seemed occupied already, so I added the "FtM"
are you partnered? No
tell anything you want us to know! Yes, while there are the long list of sheisters in SL, I try to enjoy the environment without looking over my shoulder. People show themselves soon enough. You can earn money in SL, however what they don't tell you is that if you transfer your money from SL to RL cash money, you get a 1099 from the IRS, lol.

Jesse · 08-26-2010, 03:32 PM

I'm sort of playing. lol Just downloaded it today, but could only get the older version to play. Neither the beta nor the emerald would load.

I'm: JesseTMan Maven

I told you just "Jesse" is tough to get. That's why I had to put all the stuff at the end of my name.

Amber2010 · 08-28-2014, 01:58 PM

• what's your name? Amberlynn Spingflower
• when is your rez day? July 1, 2009
• male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi? Female
• what do you do? Right now I am kind of just hanging with SL family
• I enjoy gamling, shopping, horseback riding, motorcycle riding, dancing & great conversations
• where are your haunts? The Duchess, GGLR, Lesbian Paradise
• what's the story behind your name? I was driving my BFF crazy about her being on SL all the time so we went to Starbucks with a Laptop and this one came up like the third time and I fell in love with it.
• are you partnered? Was for four years but not now we are still friends
• tell anything you want us to know! Amber was created to hang with my best friend and check out the SL world. Five years later a lot has happened some good but a lot bad. She is not on very much anymore. She still has friends and family but a lot of what Amberlynn was about kind of went away to real and so now she got to boring for me.

I have set up an alt to go out and do more of the fantasy stuff such as being a vampire... very different and a new expierience for the Virtual World...

Logicaly · 04-09-2017, 05:38 PM

Pardon the bump, I am curious if anyone is still around and using Second Life? They have made a ton of changes lately with the addition of Bento, we can actually wiggle our fingers now! Mesh came out awhile ago as well but has certainly been a nice addition over the years.

Also, the major Second Life Birthday events are about to happen in June and those are always fun to check out and see what is going on and what people creating.

girl_dee · 04-09-2017, 09:16 PM

i used yo love Second Life, it was amazing what they could do. no plans to go back though, i am online too much already.

Genesis · 04-09-2017, 09:49 PM

I love SL great place to listen to live music,
awesome debates, and great way to meet people around the globe!
