“Second Life is a free 3D virtual world imagined and created by its Residents…The Second Life virtual world provides almost unlimited freedom to its Residents. This world really is whatever you make it.” –secondlife.com “Second Life is different enough (flying! teleporting! cloning!) that it functions as a therapist's couch on which you learn about yourself by safely exploring your darkest desires.”- Joel Stein, My So-Called Second Life I am ready. This is my chance to reinvent myself. I find out what it is like to be outgoing, popular, confident. I will look the way I want and sound intelligent when I talk to others. I can be the person that I have always wanted to be, but never could. My life is too dull or restrictive to allow me to be that person. I live in a culture that does not permit me to express myself because of how I look or what I believe, but here, I will find friends here. This is really where I belong. |

Yes, but I need more than this. This new me cannot be contained in the virtual world. |
Okay, yeah, you can do that. But I am just trying to broaden my social network and meet new people. Isn't that the point? |
