Is this wrong?

There is down for a few days while they consolodate servers or something.

Man, I get hit on a LOT in There. It's amazing to me how easy it is to strike up a conversation and how quickly it turns to flirting. I stand off a bit because I don't want too much unwelcome attention--I'd rather be thought of as funny.

BUT, I have no plans on changing my avatar to anything other than the cute blue-eyed brunette with milky white skin anytime soon. Sure, I can make her have a big butt and chunk her up a little bit, but it's more fun to see what kind of reaction she gets this way. I'll post a pic of what she looks like as soon as I figure out my bandwidth issues over at wynnec.com.

So I'm on this Newbie tour, having a blast in an ancient Egyptian tomb when this other newbie guy comes up to me and says "wow, you look really good--I mean REALLY good," and starts making googly eyes at me with his avatar. I think I surprised him a little when I said "thanks! Your avatar is cute, too." At one stop on the tour we were all sitting in a hot tub while the guide taught us about in-game emotions and actions. By typing a certain phrase, your avatar can wave, wink, smile, frown, look confused or surprised, and kiss.

Yes, kiss.

So here we are, about a dozen newbies in a hot tub practicing all these new emotions on ourselves and each other. I was having a blast watching everybody, when Smoove B (not his real ID) comes sits next to me, tells me again how cute I am and puckers up. He looks kind of silly. So I laugh a little and say "what the heck" before smooching back. We're there for a good minute or so, and THEN the guide tells us to STOP kissing we need to use a whole other command. Oh. Okay.

So, I kissed a guy in There. He was probably some 13-year-old from Las Vegas or something, but I kissed him anyway. I'm just happy that most of the male avatars in There are nice-looking.

Yet ANOTHER guy gave me a hoochie-mama outfit and a dune buggy. I promptly went out to the darkest, hilliest area I could find, picked up a hitchhiker, then rolled my buggy four times and off a cliff.

Life is good.

Is there a question in there somewhere?

[winifred.livejournal.com]

eh, probably not. maybe just a question of "am i doing something creepy to be socializing this way?" i'm not into online gaming, so meeting people on the net in realtime is kind of strange to me.

[blowtorch-betty.livejournal.com]

My vote would be no on the creepy front but I might be biased considering that bq_mackintosh and I met online.

It was just a fluke, right place at the right time. That kind of thing can happen anywhere, it doesn't have to be at the grocery store.

I think the important question is why you're suddenly trying to broaden your horizons. Do your recent posts concerning "irreconcilable differences" have anything to do with this?

[winifred.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'm just tired of watching tv and surfing the internet. I haven't been able to bring myself to do the things I used to enjoy and am trying new things. Garret has wanted me to get a feel of interacting with ppl online so I can game with him, but we can't seem to agree on the bloodshed factor. This is as close as I get.

[blowtorch-betty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not big on bloodshed myself.
