Second Life Introduction

Having never played online games before, I imagine that an important part of it's allure would include the ability to be someone completely opposite of yourself. With this in mind, I created NanoMeter. As you can see, he's a guy. He's also a science nerd. Since I'm an English major and a female, he's pretty much my opposite in every way. 

My first impression of Second Life is that it's difficult! Besides the difficulty I had with simply moving around, it was also difficult to find an avatar I felt represented me. (Where are all the fat girls?) That's why I decided to make an opposite representation of myself. I think that once I figure out how to do this, it will be an interesting game, but that may take a while. I look forward to talking to everyone on Monday about their experiences.
