On Monday I called around to dentists and optometrists and realized I'd waitied too long. No one could see me anytime this week and so now my dentist and optometrist/new glasses thing will have to wait till I'm in Seattle. Hopefully I'll have benefits at my next job, cause unfortuntely, I let these go to waste.
That said, I had nothing to do - so I thew Tuesday away. It was just a way to relax have fun, and goof off. What I didn't realize was that I'd end up on Second Life all day. Between helping a friend who had just gotten an account, a fireworks show for Canada Day, meeting with Emily, I'd spent nearly the whole day there.
It was also a day where I played around with something I never thought I would:
I have kid avatars.
I love the stompyboots the kids have.
::rubs forehead::
How the mighty have fallen.
When I first got on SL, I was very very very wary of ageplayers. I'd had a BAD experience with one years ago, but in SL, one of my close friends played one in world. I didn't know what to make of it, really - and, well...she was my friend, and like I told her, if she'd have killed a man with her bare hands, I'd trust she had a very good reason for it. Over time, I became part of this girl's friends, then an aunt to her, then an aunt to her siblings, and eventually friendly to all the kid avvies I encountered.
On a lark,I tried the "transmogorifier" the Kids Second Life Fifth Birthday which is supposed to make you into a kid avvie. To my horror, I came out looking like the spitting image of a kid's version of a person I disliked VERY much. I mean to the point that I swear the person who deisgned her MAY HAVE BEEN HER. So I kept the shape, then put on my own skin/clothes over it, and it came out CYOOT.
I've played with the avatar now and then...I tweaked the Kid Carrie so she looked more like a kid version of herself (I need to chubbify her cheeks a bit now that I think about it). I haven't done much with them, though, as I'm kinda conflicted about it all, still...but you know, you only go so far down the rabbit hole before you become a rabbit yourself. ;)
