Confessions of a SLaddict
My alarm clock goes off in the morning…. Do I check work email first? no.. personal email? no.. Veyron’s email! oh yes! Heaven forbid I’ve also had a Second Life dream - nice to be not only be able to fly in dreams but in Second Life.
When I started in Second Life, it was just that - Second Life. It was sort of interesting, a nice little diversion. Some neat things to see, kinda tinker around with this avatar and some clothing. Then I discovered the people and how interesting they were. Then the people became far more interesting than sites in Second Life. Then Veyron started creeping into CyberSpace. Now Veyron has a better social life than I (who ever that is) do.
Once I was teasing Gideon Televison. Gideon was starting to notice that he was being taken over by Gideon. Slowly but surely. Gideon was creeping into his daily life. Then I called him Tyler - which started him laughing even more - because he knew what I meant. Tyler from the book and movie Fight Club.
Tiessa has had some interesting real life experiences driven by Second Life, things that would never happened without
Slowly but surely it seems our virtual selves start to take over our real selves. This seems to be confined to Second Life. Jennyfur Peregrin pointed out an interesting comparison of how World of Warcraft and Second Life affect her. Once she logs off WoW, she’s done. It now seems I never really log off from Second Life….

I am Tober and Tober is me (though, sadly, without the cute skin, ears, tail and whiskers).
We even dress alike!

The longer I am here, the more Zippora is showing her own identity (which of course is some hidden part of human-me). It looked like she was going to take over first life, but luckily I could stop her from that. But yes, *blush* I also check my Zippora-mail far more often than my RL-mail

Is anyone scared of SL overtaking RL? Perhaps we should consider taking 1 or 2 days off a week to do RL stuff, like catch our breath.

i personalyl havent felt that yet, maybe because my avie is still young or maybe its because the way i act in sl and and even the way i look (me and my avie look alike) keeps me from feeling that we are 2 different entities merging together.
