Ok, I know that secondlife has been around for a long time now! I've had an account for a long time but I guess I stopped using it for a while. I've now returned to my account and have started accessing Secondlife on a daily basis. Do you use secondlife yourself and have you created your avatar to your liking?
I recently watched the film avatar and I know that this movie has been out for quite a while now but after having seen this movie myself I decided to find out whether I could find pandora in secondlife and yes, there's actually a sim for that. I changed my avater to a blue looking Jake Sulley and all of a sudden I have become addicted to this world! I've even found a beautiful Natiri to spend some time with. This is beginning to sound quite sad!

Well, you know from watching avatar that everyone wanted to go to Pandora! Everyone wanted to be a part of that world! So, what are your thoughts? Do you think that emotions can start to take over once you enter secondlife if you don't keep a grip on reality? Andrew

Well, secondlife has been around for a while now but I only started going back in recently. Secondlife is just a great 3D Virtual world where you can create a likeness of yourself or be very creative and create a unique avatar! I go in there to meet people and build new friendships. Also, the movie Avatar well, that had really hot reviews and I have seen this movie again and again now. I went into secondlife after having seen this movie and I tried to create an avatar for myself that resembled Jake Sully, the main character in the movie. I recommend you watch Avatar, once you do you will be hooked for life!

Well, secondlife definitely has its moments! There are times in secondlife when everyone is just standing around and no one is really chatting and so I guess I tend to take that huge leap forward and try to initiate some kind of conversation. I'm enthusiastic for it right now as a result of what I have experienced over the past few days. I hope that my enthusiasm doesn't start to wane otherwise I will probably end up giving up secondlife like yourself.
At present I am having fun with it though. Andrew

Second life..Wow, this is new for me.. I know and sow Avatar, it was quite a good movie, but if in real life something like that will happen, i do not want to be a part of it. We didn;t even discover enough in our own life, and living a second life for sure makes your time 1/2 of how long it is. Life is short..Why weaste it

Sure, that makes sense! However, I'm trying not to allow this to become an addiction but there's a lot of fun to be had in this virtual world and it certainly takes my mind away from reality for a while. I think it's the movie Avatar that did it for me, I have seen this movie four times now! Andrew
