Early days

The first few days of second life were a bit of a struggle for me. Learning new software is never particularly user friendly though Second Life was a lot easier to figure out than most programs (though I'm still learning).
By the time i left orientation and help islands I had already made a friend (though I haven't seen him since), so I was feeling pretty good about my decision, both to join, and to do so as a woman. My first priority was to get some better looking clothes. The newbie avatars aren't bad but the last thing you want is to stay that way. After playing with my av's appearance sliders I thought i had a half decent shape, a little "Barbie"esque but then if I was gonna be a girl then i was gonna be a knockout.
My search for freebies led me to a beach and a warehouse. I picked up a few decent sets of clothes. Fairly slutty but I was ok with that. I still am most of the time. My search then led to a nightclub. It was my first experience with one in sl. They had a small collection of freebies in the back for newbies like me and after I checked them out and got dressed I joined in on the dance floor. A sexiest av contest was going on and I entered of course. I didn't think I would win with my newbie butt, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try.
I didn't win of course. But I did make a couple friends that i still talk to. It wasn't that long ago but in sl people come and go all the time.
My new friends helped me find better freebies and taught me how to open boxes in sl.
Never once did they give any indication that they thought i was a man. I was starting to like being this girl.


Thx for reading. I hope you gained some insight or were at least mildly entertained by my tale.
