How I was Born at my own Will (and Risk)

I was reading in the German magazine "DER SPIEGEL" about Second Life and found it interesting.

I decided to have look. Downloading and installing of the client was easy and worked without any problem. Creating an account was easy too, at first..
But then I had to decide whether I will enter accounting information or not. Entering so would give me some money in world... difficult...
I decided to distinguis between reality and game, later, this decision was called separate RL and SL, the real life and the second life. This included also no money transfers, in or out. I still adhere to this rule.

Later I added the accounting information to confince Linden Labs that I am of full age...
I choosed City Chic as avatar because that was the only female that looked like she wear a skirt. Later I saw she was wearing pants under the skirt, a state I altered immedeately until today. This life should be different than my life...
Anyway, I did not want to look like that, so pale and dull.. I wanted to look like myself, just much, much better.
I had to find out how.
I met someone who showed me, she is still my best friend. She gave me something she called "flexy hair" and a machine or so she called "AO". Now I had hair blowing in the wind, the second wind, and I stopped to waddle and started to walk.
I think with that she implanted the hair spleen I have and the faible for animations.
I needed pictures for my profile, so I went to a lonely beach and took some pictures.
This is one of them.... today, I look a bit older...
