Sometimes (often) it’s stressful. Daily, it’s weird. And then some days you have something out in “teh media” that makes me go “whoa, cool!” The NYT travel article on SL is just such an article. I’m not sure why I like this one in particular. Perhaps because it’s not supergushy. Perhaps because it’s not all about the economy. It showcases that SL is a cool place to visit, and like all destinations, sometimes people visit again and again. Some even move there.
There are lots of people making personal connections in SL, but I haven’t really been one of them. I still like to visit and shop, and I keep a home there. Stephen has lots of friends in SL, and they’ll come over to our house to hang out. I like that — kinda like I’m pirating his friends for socialization, but that’s Good Enough (TM) for me. I always was more about entertaining at home than going out on the town.
