I don't know about the second life I'm just trying to get through the first life which is hard enough right now with the shingles and school and the god damn internship if the school ever gets me another one so somebody please explain the second life because I sure could use one right about now.

if you download the Emerald viewer it should be ok with windows 7 I think - and you find the viewer for download here: http://viewerdirectory.secondlife.co...listing_id/145

second life is totally free - although many soon find shopping in SL being a favourite hobby. If you are new to SL you will first have to make an avatar and you do that by downloading the viewer -but first you log in to the main webpage on www.secondlife.com where you click "join now"
here you will find lots of different last names, you make your character and then use the information and login you make there when you open the viewer.

when you enter the world of second life you can search for people you know the names of - like Jinxdgirl or me. My name in SL is Nerdine Thibaud

one thing that amazed me when I started SL already back in 2006 was all the lesbians there. Don't be fooled though *lol*
But if you know where to look you can find really good places with openminded people who accepts all colors of the rainbow.
the GLBTQ Hub is one of those places. And I know several people here haunt the HUB.

So - over to my answers to Jinxdgirl's questions:

# what's your name?
Nerdine Thibaud
# when is your rez day?
november 2006
# male, female or shape shifting gender fucking avi?
sometimes male, sometimes female - I change. But mostly male lately
# what do you do?
I go to SL to talk and be with my friends
# where are your haunts?
the HUB, the Dutchess mostly, but also Rainbow Family Misfits
# what's the story behind your name?
I'm a Nerd, I'm female...
# are you partnered?
Yes - to my best friend

The closest I'll ever get to Second Life is that their offices are literally across the hall from ours. (in real life)

They apparently bring catered lunches in to all of the employees. (in real life)

A woman I know casually spends so much time in Second Life that she insists that the people she meets there are more real and closer friends to her than any of her other friends. (in real life)

The Emerald viewer has been banned or "removed from the approved viewer" list evidently because its last version had some malicious code in it. It should be coming back out soon to the approved list. There are many viewers that allow you onto the SL grid. I've heard its allowed, then I hear its not, someone from the creators group resigned, etc. Too much drama for a viewer if you ask me. Here is a list of the approved viewers....
