Seems like forever since i put a post on this journal! What a mad past couple of weeks! After being in Wales for the christmas period and partying hard for a Detonate Countdown event at rock city for new years i think it is time to get back on track with things!
With the identities module coming up, i decided to download Second Life and create an avatar to represent myself online. Initially i struggled with the un-needingly complex clothing and texture system, maybe i was doing something wrong? However i soon got over the problem and created Swanny Zsun.
As you can see, he actually looks nothing like the real me. I found this entertaining though as the people i met online would have no idea, and this virtual representation of me would be all they could see. Part of the attraction of Virtual Chat programs such as this are escaping from reality, and so i thought it appropriate to make Swanny Zsun a caricature of my personality. I searched around Second Lifes communities and found a shop dedicated to gym merchandise in the hope that someone may be there to discuss bodybuilding/fitness etc. as these are both keen interests of mine, however there was no such luck. I will post an update when Swanny Zsun has his first conversation!
