Second Blogger

Good morning (or evening). This is my first blog post from the Second Life World.

Im writing from my main avatar account. Im a curvaceous vixen who mostly explores “furry” or “anthro sims” but does like to don a human costume for more fun.

While in my early 20’s, I’m part of Wolfclan Minogue and Necessities’ Child. I consider my home as The Golden Pharoah…for now.

I tend to be shy at times. Since I am not able to spend as much time perfecting my building skills or making clothes, Im probably not the most fashionable but I sure do enjoy socialization.

Please note: I seldom speak about my First Life so please understand if I do not partake in any line of conversation.

This is Jass sitting at Education Online Headquarters. This is the space she created for students studying post graduate education IT subjects at the University of New England (UNE), Armidale, NSW, Australia. Armidale is half way between Sydney and Brisbane in the mountains, approximately 2 hours from the beach.

Vint Falken’s recently wrote about dropping the word “Resident” and using “Customer” instead. After leaving a (pretty weak) comment on that post, I figured it was time I said a few qualifying statements on the matter.

Now. I don’t know about you, but I personally think that it’s a pretty daft idea, but I’ll come to that. The reason for this is that asking for changes as a Resident has reached a stalemate, and by using Customer, it’s likely that things will change.

I don’t agree with that, or the entire idea. It just seems to “fight fire with fire” and lead to much animosity.

What will be achieved by reducing yourself to a clinical term? It’s an open-ended answer, so there isn’t any right one.

Regardless, I’ll just stick with Resident, thank you very much. (Sorry if I sounded a bit angry there.)

Agree with me? Disagree with me? Think I’m out of my mind? Leave a comment below.

Years and years ago, long before SL was even invented, I had a dream. In this dream I had a wife and two teenage children, and the four of us were on the run, for a reason I never did recall. The world we were in seemed like it was in the future, but a gritty and harsh kind of future. Our journey was taking us north across the States: there was this strong sense of having to reach the border, and then we’d be safe. At one point we were crossing a vast wheatfield, and we came across an old rusted locomotive, where we sheltered for the night. I remember looking at a map in the dream, spreading it out across the rusted metal, tracing the way we were going. When I woke up, that map was burned into my brain and I looked it up in an atlas. We were in North Dakota, headed straight for Winnipeg. I never knew if we ever got there - I woke up before we got to the border.
 
Not so long ago I saw some pics of The Far Away, and when I saw them, I nearly choked on my coffee. This is the wheatfield from my dream, and this is the rusty locomotive.

Maddie Blaunstein died today.
 
As well as her anime work, she was also a campaigner for the transgender community (she was MTF), and she was a player of Second Life. Many of my SL friends knew her in SL and in RL.
