Here is something that I really hate:
SL is full of actual people. SL is not the Sims. So it bothers me intensely when RL thinks they can walk into or phone into my time and expect me to immediately stop SL and turn my full attention to them.
Please! I am in a room with friends. I can not, and will not walk out of the room without so much as a goodbye and in some cases, I will not walk out of a room of my friends if it not is the right thing to do under the circumstances.
SL society and social situations are real.

Where it all began......
Tadah! At last Audrey has a blog of her own!
Who knows how often I am going to find time to update it as this is the third blog I am writing. Too many. One for work, one for personal and now a Second Life one!
I guess at this point it would be a bit difficult to go back to the beginning.. and besides I have already forgotten so much but in a nut shell:
After spending the decades of home computers with macs, in October 2007 we installed our first pc. So finally it felt like we had joined mainstream computer use. Like always I was ready to jump in feet first to Second Life which I had heard about.
I had no idea.
I didn't know what to expect. I didn't expect anything or maybe I expected everything?

I landed on Orientation Island and it was a disaster. Too many people. Too much lag. Too much water. Too hard to learn without having to move too far. At this very early stage we established that Audrey Fotherington (that's me) does not walk. Too much lag.
Press forward.
Wait 8 seconds
Shoot forward
repeat.
No control to speak of so I am always banging into things, bumping people, stuck in flower beds. Standing at the bottom of stairs. Caught behind the door. Wait until I design a house! It is going to be a lag friendly home!
I got off Orientation island ASAP. I landed on Help Island. Just as bad only the people there were horrible. Some one rescued me and took me to a sandbox to get me sorted.
From there I staggered off into Second Life.
I was stunned initially and still continue to be a bit surprised by the lack of people. So much of the place is empty and spooky. I developed a strategy of looking for dots on my map and ended up some how (and I just have no idea how) at NCI.
I sat down. Listened. Ran into walls. Put boxes on my head and with the infinite pateince of the regulars at NCI, settled in to stay.

I agree that when you are part-way through trying to tame a tours or torture a tube into submission any unwanted interruption from SL or RL is the last thing one needs (he says trying to free himself from a torus that grabbed him when he was distracted by external events)
I think Audrey was referring to RL demanding time when is busy in SL e.g. hiding under a rock as I frequently need to do, however I could, as is often the case, be wrong.
ps - "bilids" the word verification I was asked to use definitely of "deserves a place in my book "Zen and the Art of the Tpyo" as an beautiful 'builds' tpyo.
regards to all
