Hehe…
I’m still chuckling about the misunderstanding with my last post, where I announced that Zen and I were brother and sister. And of course, now that I have 20 minutes to burn and the thoughts are coming fast and furious, I thought it would be an interesting blog to talk about family dynamics, and the role they might play in Second Life(SL) versus Real Life(RL.)
This isn’t going to be a straightforward, point by point post either. Ha… gets hard to separate this kind of stuff out sometimes. But where to begin . . .
Hmm… I think I have made repeated references to the need to break free or explore me that is outside of what I am in RL – (Check out the posts with the Doodle Evolution tag.) Now, as much as I love my RL family, I’m not sure that I could be the Doodle that I am in Sl if they were right there with me. Well… maybe I could, but as hell not if we were sharing the same house!
And then I have to ask myself, “Why?” Well, that’s easy – I don’t show them everything in RL, so I sure as heck ain’t gonna show them everything in SL. Nuh uh…. no way. And. . . and. . . of course, they played a pretty big role in developing Doodle in RL, so would be kinda hard to break free and be me.
Oh oh… what a word mess I am weaving here.
Suffice to say, I’m happy on SL without most people not knowing me in RL (99.9999999% – according to the latest SL resident stats … lol… number of people I know, divided by total residents of SL… accurate to the seventh decimal place ‘cuz I couldn’t find a better calculator.)
Heh… that’s it, that’s all. Thought I better purge the thoughts before they overtook my brain!
Reminder to self – do a blog about the top ten why you wouldn’t want to have your brother sharing your space on SL.
Oh… and one more footnote. I’m certain there are people who are completely comfortable with their family sharing their space on SL – that’s cool – it just ain’t for me.
Catch ya on the flip side!
