Long time gone
I knew it had been a long time since I was last in SL or posted here, but really…it was Thanksgiving? My RL has taken a turn that has kept me from logging in. I logged in for the first time last night and crashed immediately. What a warm welcome that was! Actually, I believe it was more of my internet connection and less of an SL issue. I logged in again, and I could barely teleport or rez scenery around me. I felt like I didn’t know anyone on my Friends List, and I logged out.
I first came to SL in 2006, and I still long for that new experience feeling when I log in, but it never seems to happen, and I quickly get bored. I honestly don’t feel like I know what to do in SL anymore. It’s probably best that the ‘addiction’ subsided, because I have so much going on in my RL now that I don’t have the time to dedicate to it anymore, yet I still long for it sometimes. I still read many of the SL-related blogs and pretend make believe in my head that “I get it” still.
My boyfriend used to be an avid World of Warcraft player until a couple of years ago, and he had actually given SL a chance back then, too. Usually people who come from WoW don’t take to SL easily because the movement controls are so different. Sometimes I think if I could get him to play, then maybe I’d find things to do with him, but so far he’s not interested.
So if you’re still reading this blog, then I do hope to come back to SL someday, but I’m just looking for the motivation.
