Second Life

So, most people don't know this, but I'm actually a huge supported of things like SecondLife and OpenSimulator. They're a nice way for people like myself, someone who is semi-introverted and unable to be in large groups, to socialize in something that's more than just text. And it allows for creative people (like myself) to make homes and objects in a 3D environment rather easily. More so than Blender... That UI just makes the designer in me die a little each time I see it.
I haven't been on SecondLife in a while, thanks to some incidents that kinda still sting in the back of my mind. Apologies were given, forgiveness was earned, but it's still difficult for me to jump back in like before. I have plenty of reasons to do so, too. Live events with DJs that are awesome, socializing with friends and other creators, and even learning new skills from people who can teach through the platform, all available to me. And yet, I still can't get myself to log in, even when I know it might get my mind off of things.
Plus, SecondLife is one of the reasons I've been trying to learn Blender, so I can make my own personal avatar, and avatars for loved ones who use the platform as well. I've been wanting to make other things as well, but those are the *big goals* I have (outside of a full setup from my Omega Wars universe that I've been planning).
We'll see what the future holds, I guess.
