Just thought you might like to see some amazing photos of where the 'me' behind the avatar lives. I am lucky enough to call the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria, Australia home. The views from my window have been a real inspiration to me and are reflected in many ways in Daydream Island, SL.

Dutch A bit about me... I fell in love with SL over a year ago. Had fun exploring. Have been a mermaid and a fairy. Fell in love with the romance too. That's where it gets complicated :). The most embarrassing thing I ever did in SL was … Walking into the top room of that mansion and find two people, enjoying some uhmm physical cultural exchange. I tied noto look, afraid I might know them. Then I could not get the door to open for me to get out. Daydream Island is … My home I think Second Life is … my little escape My SL rez (birth) date 21/8/2011 My message to others in SL is … Be nice, don't hurt. In SL I usually hang out with people who … Don't try to hide who they really are and can laugh about themselves. This vid shows you some of the features of Daydream Island and a few of the fun, curious characters that visit. It's a compilation of our photos, set to music.

British A bit about me... Throughout my time in SL I haven't hidden who I am in RL. I have maintained that my avi is an extension of myself and tried to model my avatar on how I'd look in rl, if my hair didn't grow like a crazy bush. So far it seems to have worked rather well for me, although I do find it difficult to find t-shirts that I like to wear and a nice pair of jeans that don't make me look gay... I can either be found in Daydream Island, bugging one of my friends, or trying to make money in some way. Either by taking part in contests, trivia or trying to promote my photography business. I take photos in RL and upload them to SL which has been successful and many people comment on how they like them and want to buy them. The reason that I am able to take so many good photos is because of my lifestyle in RL. I work in the Environmental Sector, so I spend a lot of time in the great outdoors, making it easy for me to take photos of beautiful landscapes. My work has taken me to Iceland and various other parts of the UK giving me a good collection of photos which are on sale both in the Marketplace and in world. Anyway enough of the sales pitch... although photography is a big part of my SL experience I am a lot more than that! I first came to Daydream Island because it was a nice quiet sim with lovely nature sounds and scenery, ideal for helping me relax while writing essays required for job applications. I since found there to be a great crowd of Daydreamers here who have brought me a whole range of experiences. Joy, frustration, sadness, confusion, laughter, the list goes on of emotions and things that only Second Life can provide. This brings me onto my funniest moment in SL, provided by Megan Avon (Meg) and Boudreaux Marsault (Bo). Early in 2011 Daydream Haven was opened as a second Daydreamer sim, owned and run by our beloved Carmsie. One day the three of us were outside their shop, Udaman when the joking turned to Meg shooting both myself and Bo. As many of you will know, when you are shot in Second Life, your avatar is thrown into the air making it uncontrollable as it flies into the sky. Needless to say the gun was shared and we often had sniping matches - when an avatar sits down, the gun has no effect on them. One day I was lucky enough to catch Meg off guard while she was talking to Bo outside their shop. I managed to hide in the neighbouring parcel that was the Stomp Music Venue, still they hadn't seen me on their radar, which was exceptionally rare. I took aim at Meg and fired. I hit both of them, sending their avatars flying into the sky. Although it doesn't sound as funny as it was at the time, I couldn't stop laughing for several minutes after the event and as Meg had started using voice chat, her language was rather colourful. You just can't do things like that in RL, Daydream Islands is a lovely sim which attracts some great people and that is down to the Carmsie. When I firt visited Daydream Island, Carmsie was welcoming and chatty, nothing has changed there, however when she logged off the crowd that she attracted and gathered around her dispersed. It was a case of Carmsie's gone so the party is over... Now the people have formed their own bonds with each other and that party doesn't just finish when Carmsie logs off. It moves on to somewhere else. Daydream Island has provided me with some of my best friends in Second Life and when I travel overseas I take some of those friendships outside SL, however they have stayed in the computer, at least for now. Will that change? I don't know but I know that Daydream Island and the now defunct Daydream Haven provided me with moments that I will treasure for the rest of my life. My SL rez (birth) date
12/27/2009 Real life nationality Australian A bit about me… SL is a wonderful place, the people you can meet on here and the way you interact can be special , The very special ones can make you love, laugh or just smile when they log on to SL. It's hard not to have some RL emotion on SL you invite the ones you trust and care about into part of your RL just by talking to them. The funniest thing I ever experienced in SL was … I have so many memories on SL it's hard to pick just one, possibly the most memorable was a certain person on SL hijacking someone elses account and having their dirty way with me albeit under another account ; ) . Daydream Island is … My favorite place on SL , (Yes Carmsie) Daydream Island is my most favorite place and please! please! put that chainsaw down, I have been coming to DayDream since my rez day , met the most beautiful people you would care to meet RL or SL, funny ,caring, and some who have just had shit luck with RL and yet can escape to beautiful places like DayDream meet wonderful people and in some small way become part of each others lives. I think Second Life is … My time on SL has had many up's and down's much the same as real life but thats the great thing on SL it give's me balance, people to talk to when RL get's too much I know I can log on and someones there always something to do or people to meet. My message to others in SL is … Treat other's with the same respect as you would in RL, have fun , laugh and even love, but be very careful about letting people into your heart as their intentions may not be as you think. In SL I get really annoyed by … ...people who mistreat or disrepect other's, those who fake.. who and what they are for the sake of popularity or to belittle others, my take on life is simple we are all people trying to make the best out of life as possible - here on SL or our real lives, Treat those as you would want yourself treated, race, colour or religious views should be respected but not become words or thoughts of hate, the world the Real world has enough of that already. About my name
Yes, i really really picked it! Location USA A bit about me... Today is my 667th day on SL, no way would i have tempted fate by writing this yesterday! I am a social person both in SL and RL. I gladly admit to being a SL addict and find I can create and do or be anything I wish. Sl is only limited by your imagination. I have found a group of ppl I like being around and now have a few living near me; we like to sit on my padio and chit chat. I have a special place in my heart for noobs. I so remember how hard it was in the beginning. I spent 2 days with hair on my hand. One of the funniest things I ever saw on SL... It just happened to me the other day and I know there is no way ppl would believe me so i saved the IM....... Well I got an "I need help" IM ....it went like this...... "Rose I need some help there is a guy here with a penis stuck on his face"...... ok once I got done laughing and asking what the di_k face did to get that stuck there.....lol and you bet I had to go look! Think of a few names you would have called him....we used most of them in private IM...... it turns out he bought the penis and the box had been griefed...but folks that is a true story.....lol and can only happen in SL. Daydream Island is... It is the place i go when I need peace. The place I go for romance. and the place I most send ppl to... I have made many friends sitting by the truth ball and hope to make more. My SL Rezz day 12-2-2009 In SL I usually hang out with ppl who ... ...are vampires (love em or hate em, we just found it was a common interest that we started our friendship off with) In SL I get really annoyed by... ...strangers who come up to me and ask for sex My other name
I also have the name Snoeew, a letter combination that I found was available after trying 20 others. Real life nationality Norwegian A bit about me … In RL I have a 47 year old body, and a 30 year old mind. I'm always friendly with everyone, and if you are new to SL and wonder about things, no question is stupid to ask. Everyone has been new in here once, and I remember well how lost I felt in my first days. My RL hobies are travelling and photography, things that go very well together. MY SL hobies are travelling, dancing and chatting. The funniest thing I ever did in SL was … I had many walks in the Daydream pool before I mastered how to go forward and turn at the same time. Daydream Island is … Where I have set my home in SL I think Second Life is … ...a very good way to meet other people, and learn about life. My SL rez (birth) date 7/27/2011 My message to others in SL is … Remember that the people behind the avatars are not viritual, so treat the avatars you meet like you would treat any person you meet in real life In SL I usually hang out with people who … I go good with all kinds of people that respect others. For me it is not important what age, and what sex the person behind a avatar have. I care about personalities, and the way people behave. In SL I get really annoyed by … People that think SL is a place where they can do what ever they like, and live out the bad part of their personality. I wonder... In SL you never know who is behind the avatars. All the avatars look like they are between 20 to 30, so I wonder where the avatars go when they turn 30? Real life nationality

American (In SL I think of myself as an expatriate) A bit about me … Neko in varying degrees, I can be both a good girl and a bad cat, or vice-versa, or good girl/good cat, or bad girl/bad cat, depending on my mood. I like to play arcade games like Zyngo and Deal, hang out with friends and meet people, dance, exchange witticisms, and engage in fun and interesting activities of all sorts, both constructive and destructive. The silliest thing I ever did in SL was … Blow myself up with a nuke shotgun. (Oops!) Daydream Island is … a place to meet interesting people, have fun, dance, hang out, enjoy. I think Second Life is … 1) a place to get away from the troubles and annoyances of RL. 2) a place where we can be ourselves in ways that we can't in RL. 3) a great meeting place for people of like interests. 4) a place to have a second life, more or less separate from my first one. My SL rez (birth) date Oct. 1, 2010 My message to others in SL is … Don't waste your time camping. Expand your horizons! Emote! Learn! Go out and have fun, for Pete's sake! In SL I usually hang out with people who … Have interesting things to say and are interested in what I have to say, who like to think, play, converse and do fun things. I am a professional gambler (but only because I keep my expenses low), troublemaker and gadfly. In SL I get really annoyed by … 1) snobs, idiots, morons, meddlesome prudes, horny mindless dickheads, loudmouth tea-bagger, goons, dweebs, dorks, brain-dead goobers, selfish mush-for-brains, people who can't take the time and effort to spell out words like "are" "you" and "to", oafs, bigots, dullards and dumb-asses in general. 2) Why does every darned sim have to have piped in music? Oh well, if I don't like it I just turn it off. No big deal. 3) Oh yes, and lag. Another snippet... :) Life is good. Two lives are better than one. |
