pighed's second life

pighed writes an account of his experiences in Second Life, with plenty of screen grabs to show you where he's been. People write stuff about Second LIfe all the time, but pighed, bless him, has illuminated the experience like nobody else I've read. Read this and see if you don't wanna go there.

having been on the road so much in Real Life, and having had an emotionally exhausting fekkin wreckage of a year, it was nice to have a place where i could build something for myself. it was a sort of spiral thing i made, learning how the system works (whenever you are born you have to learn The System) and so i called it Tenaya Spirals. when i got it completed, or in a stage where i wasnt thinking about it as much, Sparrowhawk would come over and we would sit down and talk with each other for hours on end about love, or history, or books, or what it means to enjoy a virtual glass of virtual wine, and if the brain, that is stuck inside of a dark, dank lockbox we call a skull can differentiate between the real and the virtual. we talked about her lover, the one she had to bow down to, who was really having an impact on her life, and how love does not need to be a thing that is in the real world (who hasnt spoken to their lover on the phone and felt satisfaction?) and we would watch the sun set.
