a question and a meme

the question, part 1: Anyone here in Second Life?

There's apparently a push (several pushes) to get a virtual pr/sales opportunity set up therein for writers.

I admit to not understanding the fascination of full-immersion virtual life (starting with Sims, and going on through this, and WoW, etc. My lack, I'm sure). So -- after wondering how anyone has time for one life, much less a second -- I ask the question, part 2: is it possible for me to dip into this, or should I just accept that this is one of those opportunities that will pass me by because First Life is too short?

Your Brain is Green

Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance. You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver. You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).

What Color Is Your Brain?

*brainpalm* If every test I take tells me I'm well-balanced, why do I feel I'm going through life off-kilter?

(this morning I know it's because I got talked into that third martini. There's a reason I usually don't drink those things....)

Well, I tend to use it for retail therapy. Much more theraputic to go on a wild $5,000L spending spree buying 50 different dresses, shoes, and pieces of jewelry (all of which fit and come in my size) that costs less than $20 real money, rather than drive to the mall, find clothes I adore in other people's sizes and hideous excuses for clothing in my size, finally find the one thing that both looks good and fits, and realize it's $60, so I either don't get it and am depressed because after all that effort I don't have any new pretties, or buy it and feel guilty over the expenditure.

So, some nights, I will simply log on, get dressed in a new outfit, and then log out, happy with my fix of pretty.
